Jimmy Hellrung, RHP, Lincoln-Way East, 2028
6-foot-2, 170-pounds, some present strength in the lower-half, high-waisted with long-levers. Fastball worked up to 88 mph, sitting 85-87 mph with over 2,400 rpm at times (T16.1 IVB; T10.9 HM). Feel for the curveball in the 70-73 mph range, spun it over 2,460 rpm at an 80% clip in the zone. Utilized a fading changeup at 71-73 mph to round out his arsenal. Simple delivery that works in-line, longer arm-action with a high ¾ release.
6/10/24
Hellrung, standing at a 6-foot-0, 150-pound, extremely projectable frame, dazzled in his bracket play start Saturday night. The right-handed pitcher sat 74-78 mph with his fastball and 63-64 mph with his curveball. Hellrung worked quickly on the mound and made hitters uncomfortable, locating both pitches for strikes throughout his entire outing. His curveball pairs well with the fastball, freezing hitters and generating whiffs. He got into some trouble early with the bases loaded but worked out of it limiting the damage. Hellrung was able to complete the game and led the Sparks to a first-round win.
