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.

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.
