Louisville commit, currently ranked No. 5 in the Illinois 2022 class, No. 100 in the country. Strong-bodied, 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame, wide shoulders with a thick lower-half. Started on the mound against Leyden and dominated over his four innings of work; picking up 10 strikeouts to three walks and allowing just one hit. The right-hander’s arm plays short out of the glove and moves into a ¾ release, playing quick throughout. Down the mound, Patera coils slightly into his leg-lift and leads with a strong front hip down the mound, dropping into his back knee at balance point before exploding downhill, remaining in-line with the plate and landing with a closed foot, some effort in the delivery. His fastball played with late horizontal action at times into the zone, sitting mostly 90-93 mph early on, settling in at 90-91 mph towards the end of his outing, also showing improved control over the zone since our last in-game look. His slider played with late 10/4 shape, some depth and thrown with consistent feel down and to his glove-side, playing off a similar fastball plane. He also showcased a newly added splitter during his outing, playing with late/heavy diving action to the arm-side at times and showed to have some feel for the zone, 85-87 mph. High-level 2022 arm that could see some meaningful innings early on at the next level.

5/20/21

Louisville commit, ranked No. 6 in the Illinois 2022 class. Strong 6-foot-4 230-pound frame with broad shoulders and a developed lower-half. One of the premier right-handed arms in the state. Clean ¾ arm action. Polished delivery; loads well into his back leg and uses his lower-half well, creating a lot of power going down the mound, drop and drive type delivery, advanced hip-shoulder separation, strides in-line with the plate. Patera started on the mound and went six innings while only allowing two hits, walking five and striking out nine. Showcase a late-jumping fastball with arm-side life that sat 92-94 mph early on, touching 95 mph once; settled in at 90-94 mph later in the game. He went to a plus slider that was in the 79-82 mph range, with late 10/4 action and thrown with conviction. Changeup was thrown sparingly and in the 83-84 mph range with arm-side action and thrown with the same arm-speed as his fastball. High-level 2022 Prospect.

5/13/21

Louisville commit, ranked No. 6 in the Illinois 2022 class. One of the top 2022 arms in the Midwest. Continues to ascend with his performances this spring. 6-foot-4 230-pound frame, physical build with well-proportioned strength throughout; overall, workhorse type build. Clean ¾ arm slot, athletic delivery, loads into his back-leg well when driving down the mound, aggressive lower-half, drop and drive type delivery, strides in-line with the plate, will pull off on his finish at times. Went five innings of shutout ball with 11 strikeouts. Featured an exploding fastball with arm-side life which sat mostly 92-94 mph early on, touching 96 mph once; settled in at 90-93, touching an occasional 4 later in the game. Slider was his go-to secondary offering this game, thrown in the 78-82 mph range with sharp 10/4 shape. Featured a changeup at 85-87 mph with arm-side movement and feel for the bottom of the zone. Overall, control and stuff continues to improve. High-level 2022 Prospect.
