ROSTER
This year's roster is already shaping up nicely, just like in years past.
LHP Luca Fiore (Nazareth) is currently ranked No. 90 in Illinois’ senior class. Standing at 5-foot-10, 175-pounds, Fiore has some present athleticism in his frame. The southpaw has minimal effort in his delivery with a deceptive low 3/4 slot. At the Illinois State Games in August, Fiore ran his fastball up to 86.5 mph, sitting 80-85 mph. His slider sits in the low-to-mid-70s with a 2/8 plane break and sharper actions. Rounding out his arsenal, Fiore throws a low-70s changeup with 12.3” of horizontal movement, on average. The uncommitted Fiore will give us an updated look this Sunday.
C/INF Dasaan Lee (De LaSalle) stands in a strong 6-foot, 210-pound frame. He was a recent standout at the Illinois State Games in August where he boasted a peak bat speed of 78.8 mph. Lee was a big producer throughout the gameplay of the event, regularly sending the ball to all fields. During the winter, he took an impressive round of BP where he was all over the barrel, peppering baseballs at an average of 90.3 mph with a max of 95.7 mph. Ranked No. 79 in the class, Lee will give our staff an ample opportunity to get one last look before the spring.
