3/05/24
LHP Ethan Eberle (2024; Louisville commit) is one of the top pitching prospects in the entire state of Illinois, and last year he was nothing short of dominant on the mound. In 52 innings of work, Eberle posted an 8-0 record, struck out 105 batters, walked 17, allowed 12 hits, and only allowed one earned run all season. Heading into 2024, we’ve seen Eberle continue to get better, as we recently saw him up to 92.2 mph with his fastball that has true two-seam movement. He also has a big breaking curveball that gets swing-and-misses as well as a low-80s change-up that has fade and sink actions. What sets Eberle apart, aside from his pitch metrics, is his ability to command the strike zone and attack hitters with confidence in his three-pitch repertoire. When he takes the mound for the Ironmen, it will create a tough offensive day for the opposing team, and his presence sets them apart come playoff time.
1/31/24

Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 6-5, 220-pounds. Large build, long limbs with a high waist.
Delivery: High, straight leg-lift out to the side, slight coil with the upper-half, tall/fall lower-half that works in-line down the mound, repeats well despite his deceptive delivery.
Arm Action: LH. Long arm swing, arm moves quickly into a 3/4 slot.
FB: T92, 91-92 mph. Heavy arm side run, over 19" at times, showed control to glove-side, miss was to arm-side. T2143, 2005 average rpm.
CB: 77-78 mph. Sharp downward action, late 1/7 shape, clear arm-speed through release, can land for strikes and place under the zone. T2394, 2314 average rpm.
CH: 82-84 mph. Plays well off fastball, heavy arm-side run with near fastball arm-speed, controlled around and under the zone. T1954, 1844 average rpm.

9/23/23

LHP Ethan Eberle (Normal Community, 2024; Louisville) has been all over the PBR circuit, making trips to LakePoint for the 2022 PBR Future Games, and most recently the Illinois State Games in August. The Central Illinois product just continues to throw strikes, get outs, and win games, only allowing one run the entire high school season. Ranked No. 20 in the state’s 2024 class, the southpaw’s fastball sat 86-87 mph with heavy arm-side run. He pairs it with a big, sweeping breaking ball that he can land for strikes, which results in plenty of takes and swing-and-misses. Eberle also threw a changeup at 79 mph. Eberle is one of the top arms in the state that continues to trend up.

8/08/23

+ LHP Ethan Eberle (Normal Community, 2024; Louisville commit) continues to be a tough look for opposing hitters. Listed at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, long limbs. Eberle is deceptive with his delivery, working with a big leg-lift into a slight coil before striding across his body slightly down the mound. Hides the ball well with his short arm action and low ¾ release. The southpaw worked his fastball in the 85-87 mph range with up to 18.4” of run, averaging 16.5”. He went to his sweeping slider most often, ripping it confidently for strikes and to put hitters away, 71-73 mph with 2/8 shape. Flashed a straight changeup at 77 mph. Quiet confidence, “try and hit it” mentality. 

7/23/23


Currently ranked No. 23 in the state. The southpaw was absolutely dominant this past spring, pitching to a 0.14 ERA and a 0.56 WHIP with 105 strikeouts in 52 innings. It was easy to see why he was so dominant, as he worked his heavy sinking fastball up to 88 mph from a low ¾ slot. He hides the ball well throughout his delivery, making it even tougher for opposing hitters to pick up. He showed a clear confidence in his sweeping slider, landing it for strikes and to put hitters away, 73-74 mph. 

6/19/23

Eberle was nothing short of fantastic in his junior year and played a major role in Normal Community making it as far as their sectional semi-final. The Louisville commit, who’s one of the top arms in the Illinois’ 2024 class, allowed two runs in total this spring and just one of them was earned. Across 52 innings of work, Eberle finished 8-0 with a 0.14 ERA, 0.56 WHIP, and 105 strikeouts. He threw four complete games, all of them shutouts, and he allowed only 12 hits while walking 17. He features a low-to-mid-80s fastball with plenty of natural horizontal movement and compliments it with two above-average secondaries. Eberle is an early candidate to find himself on this again after next high school season.

5/06/23

Louisville commit, currently ranked No. 23 in the state’s 2024 class. Stands at a strong 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, with projection. Started on the mound for the Ironmen and showed an impressive three-pitch mix. Threw 6 â…“ innings, allowed three hits, one earned run, walked two, and struck out 12. Showed confidence on the mound and a low-effort delivery with seemingly more velocity to come. Fastball showed some arm-side run, but worked mostly straight, sat 84-86 mph throughout the game (up to 87.7 mph in the winter). Showed two different breaking balls that sat anywhere from 71-74 mph and varied from 1/7 to 2/8 sweeping shape. Lowered the arm slot for some of his breaking balls, creating more horizontal action. Changeup sat 79-80 mph with some run to the arm-side, with deceleration that kept hitters off-balanced. One of the top left-handed arms in the class.
