Notes

Comments

2/01/23

Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-5, 220-pounds. Large, strong frame. Evenly proportioned strength throughout, broad shoulders.
Delivery: Stretch only, up-tempo delivery, slight coil in leg-lift, powerful drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line with a strong/sturdy landing foot, shoulders slightly uphill down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Slight plunge out of the glove into an over the top/high 3/4 slot.
FB: T90, 89-90 mph. Life through the zone with control. Average RPM of 2253 (T2322). Average IVB of 12.2 (T15.1). T2322, 2253 average rpm.
SL: 74-76 mph. Tight 11/5 shape, sharp action, late break, feel for the zone and to the arm-side. Average horizontal movement of -12.4 inches (T-15.7). T2196, 2111 average rpm.
CH: 81-83 mph. Heavy fade, maintains fastball arm action. Averaged 14.0 inches of horizontal movement, reaching up to 20.0 inches for his max. T1941, 1851 average rpm.

7/01/22

The first of three uncommitted prospects on this list, Kwasny flat-out dominated for Top Tier Americans in relief on Saturday evening. He ran his fastball up to 90 mph multiple times, sitting at 87-89 mph with downhill tilt created from a high release point. Kwasny landed a low-70s curveball for strikes in any count and commanded a 72-74 mph changeup around the lower third of the zone throughout his outing. His mentality on the mound is worth mentioning, as Kwasny has long been known to our staff as a bulldog-type that attacks hitters with confidence. At a lanky 6-foot-5, 220-pounds, Kwasny could comfortably add quality mass onto his frame over the next few years and see an even greater uptick in his stuff. He’s one of the top prospects in the Illinois’ 2023 class that’s still on the market.

4/12/22

Uncommitted, Ranked No. 47 in the Illinois 2023 Class. 6-foot-5, 220-pound, strong, physical frame. Played third base and hit in the three-hole for Lincoln-Way East. Showed off his easy pull-side power twice during the game, with a double off the wall in the first inning and a sac-fly to deep left-center field that scored two runs later in the game. In the field, showed athleticism and body control on a slow roller, making an accurate throw across the diamond.

2/26/22

Positional Profile: 3B
Body: 6-5, 220-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, short stride. Strong hands, direct path, consistent hard contact.
Power: 98.7 max exit velocity, averaged 93.2 mph. 313’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 86 mph. Quick, loose arm action, over-the-top slot. Throws plays with life and carry.
Defense: Balanced footwork. Soft hands. Under control on the move. Plays through the baseball.
Run: 7.22 runner in the 60. 

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-5, 220-pounds.
Delivery: Pitched exclusively from the stretch, starts with a pre-loaded back knee and works into a drop and drive lower half, striding in-line with a square front foot.
Arm Action: RH. Long draw out of the glove. Quick arm action, over-the-top slot.
FB: T86.6, 85.0-86.5 mph. Creates angle, works straight with late hop and above-average vertical traits. T2279, 2205 average rpm.
CB:  mph. Thrown with arm speed, tight spin, short downer break. Landed for strikes at times.
SL: 73.0-74.1 mph. 10/4 shape. T2081, 1993 average rpm.
CH: 75.4-76.4 mph. Thrown with intent, similar window to fastball, showed feel. Flashed late run. T1751, 1646 average rpm.


9/30/21

Kwasny is another arrow-up offensive prospect on this Top Tier Americans 17U squad, as the 6-foot-4, 210-pound physical specimen continued to drive balls with authority at our PBR at The Rock Fall Championships. He routinely showed impact-type contact off the barrel, and controls his levers well to stay short through the zone given his size. The relative ease that Kwasny produces hard contact with is what has him penciled in as another middle-of-the-order type bat at the next level. 

3/27/21

Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-4, 205-pounds. Strong, athletic frame.
Delivery: Stretch only, starts closed with weight on backside, tall and fall delivery, repeatable, clean, strong front side, level shoulders, lands square, works efficiently in line with target.
Arm Action: RH. Short, quick arm action, over-the-top arm slot.
FB: T89, 84-88 mph. Jumps out of hand, plays on both sides of plate. T2250, 2161 average rpm.
SL: 72-73 mph. 10/4 shape, gradual action. T2078, 1962 average rpm.
CH: 77-78 mph. Sink/run action, arm speed similar to fastball. T1632, 1558 average rpm.
