Inside the Northeast Procase: 2022 RHP Jude Abbadessa (Union Endicott/Connecticut commit)

Jude Abbadessa RHP / SS / Union-Endicott , NY / 2022

Abbadessa stands 5-foot-11, 175-pounds from a wiry and lean frame. No stranger to PBR, we have seen him compete on several occasions over the last few years and he continues to get better every time. The current UCONN commit is the No. 19 ranked player in NY's 2022 class. 

His setup is very crouched almost sitting on his back-push leg. He starts from the stretch and works with an aggressive delivery, back and long arm-swing, drives powerfully down the mound and releases the ball from a power 3/4 slot. FB peaked 90 mph last summer with 2300 rpms and feel for attacking hitters. His off-speed arsenal is a 80-82 mph CH and mid to upper 70's slurve. Both pitches compliment the FB well but the slurve has late sharp break making it his No. 1 pitch after his FB. Excited to see him compete at the Northeast Procase next month in Williamsport, PA.
