LHP Jacob Janisko (Harvest Christian, 2023; Indianapolis commit) dominated during his three innings of work, punching out four and generating plenty of whiffs to pair. The strong, sturdy southpaw produced upper-80s velocities with his fastball, touching 90 mph a few times, while averaging 18 inches of horizontal movement. Janisko’s primary offering was an upper-70s slider with true swing-and-miss action, spotting it below the zone for whiffs while also landing it for strikes.
