Arsich

OF Liam Arsich (Lincoln-Way Central; Toledo commit) has a frame you can dream on, listed at 6-foot-3, 159-pounds with all sorts of room to add on strength. The former Future Gamer has a simple and easy right-handed stroke, staying flat through the zone with a line-drive approach that works to stay back up the middle of the field; topping out at 91.5 mph for his EV. In the outfield, he has quick feet with athletic actions and soft hands, pairing with a strong arm with easy life (T93 mph). Highly athletic, cruising to a 6.57 in the 60 with a peak run speed of 21.4 mph.

OF Liam Arsich (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025) is a premier athlete with a lean, lanky 6-foot-3, 160-pound frame who is just scratching the surface of his future self. Arsich ran the fastest 60 time on Team Illinois (6.57) and also had the highest max run speed (21.4 mph). His speed was on full display throughout the week, as Arsich was 4.40 down the line on a groundball to second base and posted a 4.43 on a routine flyball to center field. He swiped a bag both in game one and game two, scoring a run as well. Offensively, Arsich flashes twitch and works to stay connected with his long-levers. He showed a knack for line drive, gap-to-gap contact, and is comfortable using the whole field. His most impressive showing came in game three, where Arsich went 2-for-4 with a loud double into the left-center gap, brought a run home, and he showed off his noticeable arm strength from the outfield (90 mph) by throwing a runner out at home to end an inning. Arsich is another high-end name to follow from this event. 

After showing well at the Central Illinois Open, OF Liam Arsich (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025) impressed in his Team Illinois workout.

Offensively, Arsich peppered the middle of the field with line drives from a short, simple, and level right-handed swing that stayed in the hitting zone. He moves fluidly in the outfield too with long, athletic strides and arm strength to pair, peaking at 87 mph. Continuously a winner from the summer, Arsich will be one to watch for Team Illinois as the week rolls on.

Perhaps the day’s biggest standout: OF Liam Arsich (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025). Standing at a highly projectable 6-foot-3, 160-pounds, Arsich glided effortlessly to a 6.68 60-yard dash, reaching nearly 21 mph of run speed with a 1.60 10-yard split. For his size and age, Arsich controls his long levers well, staying short to the baseball and peppering line drives to all fields throughout his round. As he continues to add strength, Arsich should start to impact the baseball at a higher rate and that, coupled with his present feel to hit, will only greatly improve his production at the plate. Defensively, Arsich moved comfortably around the outfield, reaching back for a 90 mph max on his firmest bullet. He continues to prove himself as a high-follow prospect in the Illinois’ 2025 class.

RHP/OF Liam Arsich (Lincoln-Way Central, 2025) looks to be an up-and-coming arm to keep an eye on. At 6-foot-2, 145-pounds he’s long and slender with a quick arm for his age. Already sitting 77-79 mph he looks to carry a ton of upside with the length in his frame, lack of present physicality and exceptional arm speed for his age.
