Uncommitted Senior Spotlight: LHP Addison Hochevar
January 15, 2020
Here at the start of the New Year, we’re going to be spending some time highlighting the best of the state’s uncommitted senior class.
Fellow uncommitted seniors in Wisconsin are welcome to attend our first showcase of 2020 on Saturday, Jan. 25, in Kenosha. Registration information can be found here.
The lefty from Badger, Addison Hochevar, is a lanky 6-foot-3 prospect with projection who's been up to 82 mph at previous showcases in the summer and fall of 2019. His fastball features some carry in the zone coming out of a high 3/4 slot, paired with a tight slider that tunnels well from that same window. Hochevar's size and projection make him an intriguing prospect still available inside this 2020 class. You can find previous prospect reports on Hochevar written below.
