Stahl, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-hander, led the staff in innings pitched as a freshman a season ago; posting a 2.02 ERA in 59 innings to go along with a 9-1 record and 70 strikeouts against only 14 walks. He has shown extremely well in front of our staff, particularly at the Illinois State Games this past summer where he impressed with a fastball in the 80-84 mph range, pairing with an effective curveball/changeup duo to keep hitters off-balance. He has some important innings under his belt already, getting the win in the Regional Championship game last season as well as the Sectional Semi-Final game.

RHP Jackson Stahl (Hononegah, 2026) opened some eyes with his strong showing on Tuesday night. Listed at an athletic 6-foot-2, 180-pounds with room to add on strength. The right-hander has a simple and repeatable delivery with a slight preload in the back leg before stride, works in-line down the mound with easy effort. Stahl worked his fastball in the 80-84 mph range with some finish through the zone and up to 16” of run at times. Showed to have some feel for a downer 11/5 curveball at 71-73 mph, landing it for strikes and also kept mostly down. Flashed a straight changeup at 73-74 mph to finish off his arsenal.
