RHP Miles Woolsey (Mahomet-Seymour, 2025) was a standout at the Illinois Summer Championships earlier in the summer and provided another impressive look in his most recent trip to Rantoul. The 6-foot, 181-pound right-hander touched 88.5 mph on his fastball’s firmest bullet, pitching at 85-88 mph across his two innings of work. Perhaps more impressive, however, was the feel he had for a fading 75-78 mph changeup that he consistently threw down in the zone to left-handed hitters, and he also flashed strike feel for a low-70s breaking ball.

RHP Miles Woolsey (Mahomet-Seymour, 2025) is another uncommitted arm to know from Tuesday’s event. Woolsey stands in an athletic frame at 6-foot, 181-pounds with strength, too. He’s a loose, athletic mover on the mound with a clean, quick arm path out of a ¾ slot. He showed an impressive three-pitch mix, starting with an 86-87 mph fastball with quality spin (avg. 2217 rpm). He showed a low-70s slider with short, horizontal actions and an average of 2337 rpm. Arguably his best off-speed pitch was his change-up, which sat 72-74 mph with heavy fade, producing an average of 20.5 inches of horizontal movement. A must-follow uncommitted arm in Illinois’ incoming senior class.

6-foot-1, 160-pounds. Woolsey would close out the game Friday for his Yard Goats squad, pounding the zone and keeping the opposing Sparks lineup quiet. The right-handed pitcher threw from a 3/4 arm slot with a fastball in the 83-86 mph range while also flashing an upper-60s slider.
