Notes

8/22/24
RHP Isaac Wendler (Father McGivney) showed off some of the better arm-strength for his age in the entire event, working his fastball up to 87 mph while cruising 83-86 mph. He showed to have some feel for a curveball and slider, landing both for strikes in the 67-70 mph range. His final offering was a straight changeup in the mid-70s. He was lights out over his two innings of work, only allowing one hit with no runs or walks and striking out five.
7/17/24

Possessing a strong and muscular 6-foot, 200-pound build, Isaac Wendler was impressive on the mound for the Tigers Scout team. The righty threw six full innings only giving up one run and one hit while striking out nine. Mechanically, Wendler has relaxed shoulders and rides his back leg while throwing out of a high 3/4 arm slot. He hides the ball well in his delivery making it extra difficult for right-handed batters. Wendler shows off a 82-85 mph fastball with a sharp 67-71 mph 12-6 curveball that he consistently throws for strikes. Offensively, Wendler brings a big bat to the plate as he went 1-for-2 with a walk and three RBI’s. Mechanically, he has a wide stance with a toe tap quickly turning on the ball with a compact swing.

5/02/24

Strong, sturdy 6-foot, 200-pound frame with broad shoulders and lower half strength, ranked No. 57 overall in the state’s sophomore class. Started at first base and hit fifth for the Griffins. Wide base at the plate, bat starts resting over back shoulder and works up at load, minimal stride. Strong hands, long right-handed swing, keeps his barrel in the zone with intent to elevate out front. Finished with three hits; barreled a loud single to left field and jumped all over a pitch in the bottom of the 11th, spraying it into right-center field for a walk-off win. Slashing .395/.495/.506 in 98 plate appearances during his sophomore campaign.

10/04/23

Clear physicality on a 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame; broad shoulders, barrel chest, thick lower half. Middle of the order type bat that offers a blend of feel to hit as well as above-average raw power. Strong hands, swing plays long through the zone with some leverage. Covered the lower/outer quadrant of the plate for a barreled up single on Sunday morning in a two-strike count, drove one deep to left-center in the same look, too. Hopped on the mound and showed above-average arm strength for his age too, pitching at 81-83, touching 84 mph, with his fastball. Also landed a 67-71 mph curveball with high arch and depth for strikes.

1B Isaac Wendler (Father McGivney, 2026) is a name that’s been trending up for our staff throughout this past calendar year, showing well during the IHSA season, as well as in Rantoul and at Creekside. He’s a physically mature athlete for his age, bringing a barrel-chested 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame with strength throughout. In BP, Wendler worked gap-to-gap from a long, more uphill right-handed swing, and he showed above-average raw power for his age after sending his furthest batted ball 358 feet, per TrackMan. In game, Wendler found the barrel consistently and finished with three hits, including a double and three RBIs. 

6/28/23

Right-handed hitter. Impressed with his ability to work counts. Finished 1-for-2 with a home run. Smooth swing, strong, athletic stance and fluid load. Wendler followed that up on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a smooth line drive through the right side before launching two warning track flyouts in his last two at-bats.

6/26/23

6-foot, 185-pound frame with room to build muscle. Bent stance, long swing, no stride, uses lower half for power, quick bat speed, transfers weight well, barreled up balls in various parts of the zone. Was a key contributor in helping his team to a championship. 

5/27/23

6-foot, 185-pound frame with present physicality and strength throughout. Started at first base and hit in the eight hole for the Griffins. Wide setup, bat starts resting over back shoulder and tilts up with back elbow at load, minimal stride. Long and uphill path to contact with above-average bat strength for age. Elevated a two-strike curveball over the left field fence for a two-run home run after forcing a deep count. Also homered in a previous look, launching an inner-half fastball over the scoreboard at the Griffins’ home field in April. Finished his first year at Father McGivney slashing .395/.483/.592 with three home runs and six doubles.

4/18/23

Strong, physical 6-foot, 185-pound athlete that fills out the uniform, particularly in the lower half. Swings a loud right-handed barrel with aggression and bat speed, looks to elevate the baseball. Flashed noticeable bat strength for his age, unloaded on a no-doubt home run over the scoreboard in left field. Has started his high school career off on a high note - batting .375 with a 1.156 OPS and five extra-base hits over 40 plate appearances.
