RFr. RHP Mason Lechowicz (Crystal Lake Central, IL) worked a four-pitch mix throughout his ‘pen. 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, evenly proportioned strength with long legs. Athletic mover with a quick arm out front, fastball sat around 85-86 mph, topping at 87 mph with over 2,300 rpm on occasion, mostly straight action. Slider is thrown with intent at 76-77 mph, quality 10/4 shape with some depth (+2300 rpm). He also went to a cutter in the 77-79 mph range, playing with shorter action than the slider, late break off a lateral plane (+2400 rpm). His final offering was a changeup in the 75-77 mph range, killing spin and running to his arm-side a bit.
