Currently ranked the No. 33 player in the Wisconsin 2021 class, Hug battled through some brief command issues in his first inning and went on to dominate a quality Chiefs lineup. Through the first couple of frames, Hug sat 83-86 mph, topping 87 mph a couple of times, with his trademark heavy fastball. His breaking ball featured above-average action at 64-67 mph, with some late bite, and his ability to locate it helped him rack up 10 Ks in his complete-game-winning effort. He has a 5-foot-10, 150-pound lean, athletic build; and that athleticism has allowed him to be a multi-sport standout with untapped potential remaining on the diamond. He has a live, loose, quick arm and it looks like it’s trending in the right direction as the summer season heads to a close.
