Uncommitted. Lean, high-waisted 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame. Turned in a no-hit, no-walk start, punching out seven over five scoreless. His fastball sat 84-87 mph with heaviness through the zone and earned swing and miss, while his slider ran 76-78 mph and generated swing and miss against right-handed hitters. He also mixed in a cutter at 80-82 mph that missed barrels. He's an athletic mover downhill, throwing from a low/deceptive slot. Line: 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K. A high-follow uncommitted arm in the state's junior class.
Scaiefe started against Joliet West and threw five hitless and scoreless innings. He allowed zero walks and struck out seven batters.
