Lucas
Bormann

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 148 in the state. Athletic, 6-foot-1, 160-pound frame with all sorts of upside and projection. Came out of the ‘pen for York and was extremely impressive over his one inning of work, attacking the zone with an 84-86 mph fastball that played higher than the gun was reading, also working with some tilt and run through the zone. Bormann showed a knack to spin the breaking ball, going to two different offerings throughout his inning of work; the first being a sharp 11/5 curveball at 71-72 mph, thrown for both strikes and to put hitters away. His second offering was kept more down and to his glove side, playing with late 10/4 bite at 73-74 mph. High-leverage back of the bullpen profile, high follow uncommitted arm.
