Uncommitted right-hander, standing at 6-foot-5, 225-pounds. Works down the mound with a tall/fall operation, arm plays from an over the top slot. His fastball enters the zone at a tough angle, topping out at 89 mph while sitting in the 86-87 mph range and missing barrels. Willey’s curveball hovered in the 75 mph range, playing off an 11/5 plane and coming from a similar window to his fastball.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-5, 225-pounds.
Delivery: Stretch/windup hybrid, works with a slight drop/drive lower-half, remains in-line to the plate.
Arm Action: RH. Over-the-top slot, long arm action.
FB: T86.6, 85.0-86.6 mph. Mostly straight, four seam fastball that enters the zone at a tough angle due to arm-slot. T2377, 2302 average rpm.
CB: 68.7-70.3 mph. 11/5 shape, short depth, showed ability to land for strikes. T2012, 1954 average rpm.
CH: 70.5-74.3 mph. Sinking action, kept mostly down. T1612, 1567 average rpm.
Positional Profile: OF
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, short stride and minimal load. Advanced hand strength, ball jumps off the bat at times, direct path and creates leverage to the pull-side.
Power: 98.9 max exit velocity, averaged 93.1 mph. 378’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 84 mph. Long, loose arm into an over-the-top slot, life out of the hand.
Defense: Clean footwork/actions, soft hands.
Run: 7.07 runner in the 60.
RHP/OF Alex Willey (Normal West, 2022) is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound unsigned senior right-hander that is physically developed throughout his large frame. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph (T2378 rpm) while pairing it off a short 11/5 breaking ball with feel for the zone, 69-70 mph. His changeup sinks naturally to the bottom of the zone, thrown with some arm-speed at 73-75 mph. Willey also put up notable TrackMan numbers from the right-side of the plate. Willey recorded the furthest batted ball on the day at 378 feet to go along with a peak exit velocity of 98.9 mph and an average of 93.1 mph. The physical right-handed hitter has advanced hand strength, stays direct to the ball and creates leverage to the pull-side. Physical unsigned senior to follow moving forward.
