Ryan
Exline

RHP Ryan Exline (Tinley Park, 2024) popped as a junior name to know at Joliet. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander moves well for his size down the mound into a quick high ¾ release. He sat right at 84-86 mph, topping out at 87 mph with some finish through the zone and slight running action. His curveball looks to be a potential out-pitch for the right-hander, spinning over 2,600 at times and playing with sharp, downer 11/5 shape, 70-74 mph. His changeup also showed some potential as well, playing with heavy run (14.8” avg. HM; T17” HM), 74-78 mph. His final offering was a knuckleball at 59-62 mph, killing spin and playing with unpredictable action.
