Faith

Verbally committed to McHenry County JC.

One of the more intriguing looks on the mound came from RHP Ethan Faith (Jacobs, 2025). Standing 6-foot-2, 165-pounds, Faith still has all sorts of room to add on strength in the coming years. The right-hander worked exclusively out of the stretch with a wide base and front foot closer to third, creating some deception immediately before moving with a drop drive lower-half down the mound. His arm is long and loose out of the glove, transitioning into a ¾ slot. His fastball sat comfortably in the 77-80 mph range, topping out at 81 mph with heavy sinking action (T20.3” HM). His best secondary offering was a cutter at 71-73 mph, playing with sharp 10/4 action and late sweep - acting more like a slider but is absolutely a pitch he should keep in his arsenal moving forward. Lastly, he went to a curveball at 65-66 mph, kept down in the zone with 11/5 shape.
