McHenry Preseason I.D.: Pitcher Analysis
March 4, 2021
On Jan. 31, the PBR Illinois team hosted its first event of 2021, the McHenry Preseason I.D., at Pro Player Academy in McHenry, Ill. For the past five years, this event has provided our staff with an opportunity to evaluate high school-aged prospects from Northern Illinois, primarily. The McHenry event has historically revealed to us some of the area’s top talent, and this year was no different.
If you missed us in McHenry, check out our showcase page to see when we’re in the neighborhood next.
In the week following the event, our staff collaborated to highlight the biggest takeaways from the showcase, and we published them within this Quick Hits piece. We also published our traditional statistics inside of this Statistical Analysis post, as well as data taken from our Blast Motion and TrackMan partners, which you can find here and here. This week, we began rolling out scouting reports position by position, beginning with the catchers, outfielders, and infielders. We’re wrapping things up with the event’s pitchers today.
We ranked the best 2022, 2023, and 2024 pitchers from this highly informative showcase, and junior RHP Tyler Deleskiewicz (Badger, WI, 2022) leads the group as one of the event’s top uncommitted talents. With long levers attached to a 6-foot-5 build, the Wisconsin native reached premium velocity with prominent carry through the zone, and he reached a 91 mph high in McHenry to start 2021 off explosively.
Tyler Deleskiewicz (1/31/21)
Fellow junior righties Adam Guazzo (Huntley), Jameson Sheehan (Cary-Grove), and Kyle Kaempf (McHenry) each substantially enhanced his stock headed into the spring and summer. Guazzo sat exclusively 88-89 mph, on track to help compete inside a Huntley pitching staff that’s looking like one of the deepest in the state. Sheehan’s a well-documented prospect at quarterback, but his arm certainly plays from the mound, too, where he reached a 90 mph high from a steep plane at this event. Kaempf carries genuine two-way abilities, with a quick arm from the rubber that also reached an 89 mph max, with the feel to spin a breaking ball and spot a fading change.
Yet another Huntley stand-out, RHP Andrew Ressler (2023), is entrenched among the top-ranked pitchers in the state’s sophomore class. In McHenry, Ressler sat in the upper-80s, touching 89 mph, requiring little effort to reach that premium velocity for a player his age.
Similarly, Stevenson freshman LHP Brandon Schultz (2024) doesn’t need a ton of effort to reach his mid-80s velocity. He was up to 86 mph here, and he used this platform to break out as one of the top 2024 arms we’ve seen to date in Illinois.
For full scouting reports on these names, as well as the remainder of the pitchers in attendance, continue on below.
