8/01/24
C Joey Gainer (St. Francis, 2025) Athletic 5-foot-9, 181-pound frame, contributed on both sides of the ball during Sparks North-Black’s 8-0 win Friday morning. The right-handed bat went 2-for-3 with a pair of loud extra base hits, including a pull-side gap double in the second inning and pull-side gap bases clearing three RBI triple in the fourth inning, extending his team’s lead to 5-0. Utilized an open stance, small leg kick, minimal load, quick and direct hands, connected arms, and forceful hip drive; limiting excess movements with the upper body. Defensively, he back picked a runner from his knees after a leadoff hit in the fifth. Also, displayed a traditional squatted stance, tight one knee down stance, and a kickstand one knee down stance with adequate low pitch timing. An impressive showing for the uncommitted Gainer, Illinois’ No. 124 overall rated prospect.
3/20/24

Uncommitted. Wheaton St. Francis went 2-0 in the opening week with wins over Wheaton Academy (2-1) and Glenbard West (0-4) and Gainer was a big reason why. In their two games, Gainer went 6-for-9 with two doubles, a triple, a home run, a walk and five RBI. His biggest performance was against Glenbard West where he went 5-for-6 with a triple, a homer, four RBI, and a run scored.

2/11/24

C Joey Gainer (St. Francis, 2025) was another prospect that had a strong showing both with the glove as well as the bat. At the plate, the right-handed hitter works direct to the ball with a loose and flat path, staying through the baseball and in the hitting zone for a long time, also reaching up to 91.9 mph for his max EV. Behind the plate, Gainer has a quick/clean transfer, working in-line with the plate with a short arm and over-the-top release to produce a pop-time as low as 1.97 seconds.
