Unsigned Senior Showcase: Pitcher Analysis
October 17, 2019
On Oct. 6, the PBR Illinois staff hosted its annual fall Unsigned Senior Showcase, providing 2020 grads with the platform to perform ahead of the final offseason of their prep careers. Year after year, this event always seems to spotlight a handful of Illinois seniors who have flown under the radar for too long, bringing them some much-deserved attention.
After providing rapid post-event analysis in last week, in the form of our Quick Hits and Stats Story, we’re continuing our position-by-position breakdown today with the day’s pitchers. We covered the event’s catchers, outfielders, and infielders earlier in the week, in case you missed it.
Leading the way from atop the rankings below is Waubonsie Valley’s Will Jaynes, a big right-hander with an advanced level of projection in combination with some of the best present stuff at The MAX. He has a four-pitch mix to offer, buoying his chances of landing in a rotation at the next level, and all four offerings he’s shown at least a little feel for already.
Minooka’s Cooper Herold has long been on our radar, ranked at No. 82 in the state, and he just made a commitment to John A. Logan JC last week.
Riverside-Brookfield’s Daniel Kawiecki is the top-ranked southpaw among the group below, for his athletic 6-foot-3 build and easy arm action that generates mid-80s velocity.
The group goes well beyond these three names, however. See for yourself. We ranked the top-10 pitchers from The MAX below. Stay tuned tomorrow when we rank the top-10 overall prospects from this showcase, too.
