3/20/24
Lewis commit. Young went 5-for-8 for the Tigers over the weekend, helping lead Joliet West to a 2-1 record including a win over No. 13 O’Fallon (2-2) to begin the season. Out of the leadoff spot, Young had an outstanding .785 OPB in the first week of play hitting a double, a triple, and two home runs while driving in four. He also drew five walks and a hit-by-pitch. Joliet West also defeated Belleville East (0-2).
8/01/23

Verbally committed to Lewis University.

7/21/23

Young was a stand-out performer behind the dish throughout the weekend, and committed to Lewis University shortly after. Compact frame with a thick lower half, 5-foot-9, 200-pounds. Quality defensive actions behind the dish. Quick out of the crouch with solid arm strength to cut down runners on the base-paths. Pull-side approach at the plate with strong hands. On the barrel for a majority of the weekend, launching a home-run on Monday en route to a championship win. 

6/06/23

Owen Young (Joliet West, 2024) is a recent Lewis commit who stands at a compact, strong 5-foot-9, 200-pounds. The right-handed hitter has strong hands and a compact swing that works flat through the zone while using the whole field and flashing jump off the barrel; registered a 91.6 mph exit velocity. Defensively, he is a quality receiver that presents a low target with quiet hands and a receptive glove with the ability to present pitches and get underneath the pitch at the bottom of the zone.
