RHP Henry Humes (Homewood Flossmoor, 2026) popped as a high-follow arm on Monday. Listed at an uber-projectable 6-foot-4, 170-pounds with lean limbs and room to add on strength, the right-hander delivered a fastball in the 82-84 mph range, topping out at 85 mph with heavy running action. He has developing spin on his curveball, which plays around 67-69 mph with shorter, downer shape. He flashed some feel for his changeup, delivering the pitch at 68-69 mph with running action to his arm-side at times. Upside arm to follow throughout his prep career.
