Notes

Comments

9/20/23
C/3B Gael Urbieta (Loyola Academy, 2025) was a member of Team Illinois at the PBR Junior Future Games in 2021. The strong built, 5-foot-11, 200-pound right-handed hitter showed well in the early morning game on Saturday. An easy swing with power, Urbieta recorded two triples after blasting the baseball to the deep outfield. Ranked inside the top-150, he’s a prospect to follow in Illinois’ 2025 class.
2/25/23

6/02/20

5-foot-9, 165-pound, right-handed hitting third baseman/right-handed pitcher. Strong, proportional frame. Started on the mound against Hitters on day one. Short arm action, high ¾ slot. Hands rock over head with a rocker step to initiate a tall/fall type delivery that he repeats well. Fastball sat 74-76 mph, worked ahead early, comfortable throwing up in the zone as a swing-and-miss pitch. Curveball 59-61 mph, 11/5 shape, slight depth at times. Changeup played at 64-65 mph, used sparingly, played straight. Easy control for the barrel at the plate, consistently made hard contact. Showed well in the field at third base, made a ridiculous diving stop to save multiple runs from scoring in a bases-loaded situation late in the game. Name-to-know in Illinois’ 2025 class. 

5/29/20
Gael Urbieta (2025) started on the mound and impressed. He sat 74-76 mph with his fastball, easily spotting it to both sides of the plate. He mixed in a changeup and curveball as well, showing feel for both of them at times. Urbieta’s glove impressed as well, as he made a ridiculous diving stop to save multiple runs from scoring in a bases-loaded situation late in the game.
