Verbally committed to Southwestern Illinois.

8/04/26
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 163 in the state. Athletic 6-foot-2, 194-pound frame. Continues to show two-way potential for our staff. On the mound, he has a long/full arm action, releasing from a high ¾ slot. Richard’s fastball sat 83-85 mph (T87) with sinking action while getting swing and miss in-zone. His slider played sharp at times at 70-73 mph, while also mixing in a changeup at 75-80 mph with tumble. He would go on to punch out three batters over an inning and a third.

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 210 in the state. Lean, athletic 6-foot, 190-pound frame. Batted sixth and played left field for the Bulldogs. The right-handed hitter has barrel strength and a clean, athletic swing with a patient approach at the plate, tallying a double to the left-center gap in his third at-bat. Defensively, he moves well and takes clean, proper routes to the ball, with the actions to stick in the outfield at the next level. An uncommitted name to follow as we move through the spring.
