John
Kravetz

Committed to Illinois ... Earned PBR third team All-State honors as a senior after going 11-4 with 89 Ks while leading the Caravan to a fourth-place finish in Class 4A ... Coming from a whippy, three-quarter arm slot, nothing Kravetz throws sits still. Everything Kravetz throws has tremendous movement, most notably a hard slider that at times can give even well-trained catchers troubles. Kravetz�s fastball, which has climbed to 89 mph, has late life. The right-hander served as the Caravan�s horse last spring, posting a 6-3 record against all the Chicago Catholic League heavyweights. In 66.2 innings, he struck out 74 and walked 35. Everything Kravetz throws moves ... a lot. He showed 84-87 mph from 3/4 arm slot and impressive slider. With a deceptive, coiling motion and a three-quarters arm slot, Kravetz showed a fast arm with a lot of upside. His slider was at 73-74 mph and has a chance to be a plus out pitch.
