Gavin
Stanislawski

CIF/RHP Gavin Stanislawski (Brother Rice) gave an impressive two-way look at the State Games. Listed at 6-foot-1, 207-pounds, physical with present strength throughout. The right-handed hitter took intentful swings throughout his round of BP and flashed well above-average raw power to his pull-side. His swing is direct and stays through the zone, also showing to be highly repeatable for his age with present bat-speed and strength. His bat continued to play in-game, where he shot a ball into the RF gap for a double. He later hopped on the mound and displayed a quality three-pitch mix; starting with a fastball in the 81-83 mph range with some tilt through the zone. His curveball showed tight, 10/4 action with some feel for the zone, and he also flashed a changeup in the 78-79 mph range with around 13” of run on average. It’s an easy operation on the mound with little perceived effort, and there looks to be more in the tank in the coming years.

Gavin Stanislawski, Anthony Cartolano, Aidan Dillon, Mikey Watson, Jordan Culbreath and Brady Cunningham are just a few 2027s in attendance that showed well and are heading to Brother Rice next year. Of them, Stanislawski had one of the top all-around showings on the day. On the mound, he has a polished repertoire with a clean upside arm and fastball that topped at 82 mph. Stanislawski also had one of the more intriguing swings on the day, working highly-repeatable, short and flat through the zone with a knack for hard contact.

Stanislawski was impressive on the mound for Sparks on Saturday. Stanislawski has an athletic and projectable build with much more room to fill out. While on the bump Stanislawksi moves well with a  repeatable and simple delivery that created fastballs up to 74 mph with late life through the zone. He coupled this with a late action breaking ball that was consistently thrown low in the zone for strikes. Overall, Stanislawski oozes confidence on the mound with clean mechanics that will continue to play as he develops.
