8/22/24

RHP John Rudnick (Huntley) gave a quality look over his two innings of work, striking out one. Listed at 6-foot-1, 160-pounds, the upside right-hander has a quick arm out front that creates a fastball in the low-80s (T83 mph; 2,302 rpm), though we’ve seen him up to 85 mph in the past. To pair off the fastball he went to a slider in the 71-73 mph range with 10/4 shape, landing it for some strikes.

8/06/24

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 158-pounds.
Delivery: Simple delivery, stretch only, medium leg-lift, tall/fall, stays in-line, shoulders work downhill.

6/05/24

Uncommitted. Listed at a loose-limbed 6-foot-1, 156-pounds, Rudnick came out of the ‘pen and earned the win for the Red Raiders. He has a loose and whippy arm action that pairs well with a seemingly deceptive delivery. His fastball played at 81-84 mph (T85) with occasional carry through the zone. Rudnick also worked in a breaking ball with 11/5 action at 72-75 mph that he could go to in any count. Rudnick turned in a final line of: W, 2.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K.

10/15/23

Rudnick was a smooth mover on the bump during his bullpen, flashing the ability to throw strikes with his three-pitch mix. Rudnick’s arm-side running-fastball (avg. 12.2” HM) sat 78-80 mph, while he landed an 11/5 shaped curveball at 66-68 mph, and spun a short slider at 68-69 mph for strikes (80% in-zone).

2/12/22

RHP Josh Rudnick (Huntley) was yet another arm that showed well over the weekend. The 5-foot-11, 120-pound right-hander worked exclusively from the stretch, starting with a back-knee preload before moving into a drop/drive lower-half. His arm plays long out of the glove with a high ¾ arm slot, producing a fastball up to 73 mph with life through the zone and running action to his arm-side. He paired a 62-63 mph curveball off his fastball, showing feel for the zone while playing off an 11/5 plane. Rudnick’s third and final offering was a slider in the 64-67 mph range, working off a short 10/4 plane and acting as a cutter at times while maintaining arm-speed. 

1/31/21

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 5-foot-7, 106-pounds.
Defense: Fluid footwork around the bag, average hands, clean exchange.
Arm: RH. INF - 66 mph. Long arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Hit: RHH. Wide balance setup, minimal pre-pitch load, high leg kick.  Long uphill swing, looking gap-to-gap.
Power: 63 mph exit velocity from the tee.
Run: 5.37 home-to-first. 

Delivery: Stretch only with some effort, works closed, stops finish.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T67, 65-66 mph. Plays straight.
CB: 56-57 mph. Gradual 11/5 action.
