Bilecki

Uncommitted. Standing at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds, looks larger than listed with a high waist. Started on the mound for No. 23 Marist and impressed throughout his outing. The southpaw’s arm works short out of the glove into a high ¾ slot. Repeatable/simple delivery, hunches over slightly into a leg-kick to prevent his spine from swaying too far to the third base side, works down the mound with a slight crossfire delivery, creating a tough look for lefties. His fastball sat in the 80-82 mph range with notable sinking action; while also pairing with a sharp 1/7 breaking ball that he consistently landed for strikes while also keeping it down, 69-70 mph and threw to both righties and lefties.

LHP/OF Francis Bilecki (Marist, 2024) made a splash on monday with one of the more impressive ‘pens on the day. Standing at 6-foot, 165-pounds, the southpaw worked exclusively from the stretch with a repeatable drop/drive delivery and loose/clean arm. His fastball worked in the 81-84 mph range, riding through the zone with notable arm-side action. The left-hander’s best secondary offering was a sinking changeup that featured heavy movement to the arm-side, thrown at 76-77 mph with feel for the lower quadrant of the zone. Bilecki then went to a sharp 1/7 breaking ball at 70-71 mph, thrown with near identical fastball arm-speed and kept primarily low while pairing off his other two offerings effectively. The left-handed hitting two-way prospect also is notable in the box due to his loose levers and sneaky jump off the barrel. There are plenty of more gains to come for Bilecki down the road.
