Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

INF/RHP Jory Crocker (Willowbrook) continues to show to be one of the top players in the state. Boasting a projectable, high-waisted frame at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds. Crocker started the event by running a 6.74 60, then tossed an 87 mph bullet during the infield workout, while also having a loud showing with the bat during batting practice - evidenced by a max EV of 99.5 mph (avg. 90). During gameplay, he displayed the ability to go the other way with it from the right side with loose hands and a direct path. Defensively, he uses his long levers to his advantage and can glove it up the middle. On the mound, he has a long-levered operation that gets clear extension out front, delivering his fastball in the 83-86 mph range with carry and heavy run (T21.2 IVB; T18.9’ HM). He was able to land his slider for strikes consistently, playing with sharp 10/4 shape at 74-75 mph. He also flashed a sharp curveball at 72-75 mph and changeup in the mid-70s.
2024 Future Games: Jory Crocker (Willowbrook) showed to be one of the more intriguing prospects on Team Illinois with what he was able to do as both a position player and as a pitcher. Crocker presents a broad-shouldered 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame, with all sorts of room to fill out down the road. He had an athletic showing to begin the week during the workout, where he ran a 6.81 60, topped out at 88 mph across the diamond, and also posted a max vertical of 33.4”. The long-levered infielder also swung the bat well during batting practice, with a max exit velocity of 97.5 mph to pair with a max batted ball distance of 366 feet. During gameplay, Crocker’s tools translated over where he displayed easy range in the infield with a strong arm to pair, that should allow him to stick on the left side of the infield. Offensively, he swung an athletic, flat path that allowed for line drive contact. Crocker hopped on the mound to close the book for Team Illinois at this year’s Future Games, and showed upside in his outing. He was able to sync up his levers down the mound to make for a loose, repeatable delivery. Crocker also hides the ball well in his delivery, which paired with his clean and whippy arm action, made for added perceived life on his fastball that sat 86-88 mph (T89). He tossed in a mid-70’s curveball to keep hitters off balance and finished his outing allowing no hits, no walks, while punching out two.

Possessing an athletic 6-foot-2, 181-pound display with a long lower half, Jory Crocker was shoving on the mound for Windy City. The righty threw 5.1 innings while giving up three runs and striking out six. Crocker has a really high leg kick with a long stride. He throws out of a 3/4 arm slot and has a lot of whip to his arm. Crocker’s fastball was an impressive 83-87 mph topping 89 mph. His firm fastball displayed a lot of spin with some horizontal movement. He complimented his fastball with a 73-74 mph slider that kept hitters off balance. High level athlete on the other side of the ball as well; advanced defender with range to both sides of his glove, soft hands and fluid footwork allow him to make plays with ease in the holes. The right-handed hitter has a simple, easy swing that works to stay up the middle of the field with backspin. Much more to come for the projectable rising junior.
Crocker is a top-10 prospect in the state and has upside to all parts of his game. In the Regional Semi's he did his best work with his arm on the mound. Crocker went a complete game, scattered five hits, struck out 12 and did not walk a batter against West Chicago.
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 7 in the state and No. 386 in the country; started at shortstop and batted second for the Warriors. Crocker stands in at a high-waisted and long-levered 6-foot, 171-pounds, and stands out physically on the field. Defensively, he uses his long levers to his advantage to make for some added range up the middle. His arm plays with easy arm strength from a low ¾ slot across the diamond and should allow him to stick on the left side of the infield in the future. From the right side of the plate, he sets up with a wider and athletic base, while utilizing a rhythmic hand load pre-pitch. He has a loose and athletic swing that creates extension at contact with intent to lift the ball while utilizing a strong lower-half. He showed a patient approach in the box with a clear plan of what he wanted to do each at-bat; working deep counts, rarely chasing out of the zone, and swinging at strikes. He then hopped on the mound and showed upside throughout his brief appearance. His fastball plays clean out of the hand at 85-86 mph with some tilt, while he also showed a low 70’s curveball that showed some depth with 12/6 action.

At the plate, the right-handed hitter displayed easy barrel control with an upside stroke, working consistently up the middle of the field with line-drives; averaging 89.4 mph for his EV with a max of 93.7 mph, working on the sweet spot 70% of the time per TrackMan. Defensively, he glides around the infield with athleticism and bounce, pairing it with easy range to both sides of his glove and soft hands with a clean transfer. His arm is plenty strong, topping out at 86 mph across the diamond. Above-average runner, cruising to a 6.88 in the 60, also led the event in vertical jump with a 36.2”. On the mound, Crocker controlled his levers and showed minimal effort to run his fastball up to 87.2 mph. He mixed in a curveball which played with 12/6 shape, and a slider that played with 11/5 shape, and he showed the ability to throw strikes with both.

INF Jory Crocker (Willowbrook, 2026) has considerable upside on a lanky, long-limbed 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame. A 6.88 runner, Crocker controlled his levers more in this look than we’d seen previously, staying inside the baseball more consistently while keeping his barrel through the zone on a flat plane. He’s an apt defender on the dirt too, with long strides, soft hands, and an 85 mph arm across the diamond.

Crocker hopped on the mound on Sunday and did not disappoint. Highly projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 160 lbs with long levers. Athletic movements on the mound and worked down-hill. Pounded the zone with the FB sitting 81-82 mph. Showed good feel for a breaking ball, throwing it in the zone early in the count. Impressed earlier in the tournament with his fluid actions at shortstop and clear athleticism. Smooth, athletic right-handed stroke with feel to hit, swing projects to add much more power as he continues to develop. Two-way player with a high ceiling to watch going forward.
RHP/SS Jory Crocker (Willowbrook, 2026) is a high-waisted 6-foot-1, 160-pound two-way freshman in the state. Offensively, he’s a right-handed hitter who starts from a static position but he’s able to repeat well and generate a loose, quick swing that landed consistent barreled contact during his round of BP. On the mound, he’s similarly raw but intriguing, as he lived inside the strike zone with all three pitches, sitting 80-82 mph. He spotted a breaking ball well, beneath the zone, that flashed sharp action, and his changeup is thrown at arm speed with arm-side fade/run that he also located. Crocker’s physical projection is particularly intriguing, and he’s also a 7.23 runner.

Long, lanky high-waisted frame that projects; arms nearly touch his knee caps. Drew the start for Windy City in their first game of the weekend early Friday afternoon. Arm plays with some length on the backside and finishes from a high ¾ slot. Tall/fall type delivery, upright at balance point before engaging downhill, level shoulders to glove tuck, above-average extension at front foot strike and maintains direction to target; repeats. Worked with pace and rhythm throughout his outing. Fastball held 76-78 mph throughout, relied on it heavily and comfortably threw to all areas of the zone while favoring the upper-quadrant with two strikes. Occasionally flipped in a mid-60s breaking ball as a change-of-pace offering, developing feel to spin.
