Verbally committed to Carl Sandburg JC.
Uncommitted. Lean, athletic 6-foot, 160-pound frame with room to fill out. Showed well, throwing a complete game while striking out six batters and allowing one earned run. Smooth drop and drive delivery working out of a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 80-84 mph T85 with life through the zone, generating swings/misses. Tunneled a curveball off of that with depth at 66-67 mph.
RHP Mason Sauder (Metamora, 2026) made his Prep Baseball Illinois event debut on Tuesday and impressed our staff. Sauder stands in an athletic frame at 6-foot, 160-pounds with seemingly more strength to come. During his bullpen, Sauder showed a quick arm, and a fastball up to 85 mph, but sitting 81-84 mph. He mixed in a change-up with slight fade and depth, playing low in the zone at 77-78 mph. He rounded out his three-pitch mix with a 69-73 mph slider that played with short, tight spin, throwing it for strikes 80% of the time, per Trackman. After the event, Sauder emerged as an uncommitted follow.
