Quinn

Verbally committed to Illinois Central JC.

RHP Jarek Quinn (Richwoods, 2026) impressed in his outing at the Illinois State Games striking out three hitters over 1 ⅔ innings pitched. Fluid, repeatable delivery; an athletic mover down the mound with a high, coiled leg lift into a tall-and-fall move, landing slightly cross-fire. Long, loose arm-action from a ¾ slot. Utilized a four-pitch mix while flashing a fifth offering. Mainly went to a sinker at 82-84 mph with an average of 3.3 inches of induced vertical breaking keeping the ball on the ground. Added a 4-seam fastball as well that played up in the zone with ride (avg. 16.6 IVB). Went to a big breaking ball behind both of those offerings at 71-76 mph with 10/4 shape and depth. Rounded out the four-pitch mix with a cutter at 77 mph with short horizontal break. Flashed a depthy changeup at 74 mph (1169 rpm).
