University of Chicago commit. Ranked No. 77 in Illinois Class of 2023. Strong, 6-foot-1, 189-pound build. Came in to pitch in the 6th inning and picked up a two inning save. Recorded three strikeouts and allowed one earned run in the short outing. Tenuta works in an uptempo stretch only delivery, drives off the back leg with a square footstrike. A three pitch mix comes from a short, quick arm action with a high 3/4 slot. The fastball comes clean out of the hand and plays mostly straight, sitting 87-89 mph through both innings. An 11/5 curveball backed the fastball with tight spin while staying in rhythm, sat 71-73 mph. And a changeup with late sinking action sat 76-77 mph.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 188-pounds.
Delivery: Delivery works with tempo and rhythm, quick paced and repeatable, stays compact.
Arm Action: RH. Short plunge at separation, connected through release, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T89.8, 87.6-89.5 mph. Slight arm side run, above average control. T2214, 2101 average rpm.
CB: 71.3-73.0 mph. Short action, tighter shape, 11/5 plane. T1896, 1785 average rpm.
CH: 77.5-79.5 mph. Above average feel, hard sinking action. T1517, 1405 average rpm.
Tenuta was around the zone with his entire arsenal, including a fastball that sat 88-90 mph. His curveball played with short, tight action at 71-73 mph and his changeup sat 78-80 with above-average feel and late sinking action.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 188-pounds. Strong build.
Delivery: Clean, repeatable tall and fall delivery, smooth tempo, lands square, works in line with target.
Arm Action: RH. Quick arm action, high 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T89, 87-89 mph. 4-seam, mostly straight, flashes a heavy ball, strikes. T2071, 1971 average rpm.
CB: 69-71 mph. 11/5 shape, sharp action, feel for strikes. T1690, 1580 average rpm.
CH: 75-77 mph. Advanced sink/fade action, thrown for strikes at bottom of zone. T1414, 1314 average rpm.
6-foot, 180-pound, well-proportioned, right-handed pitcher. Strength in lower half. Short, clean arm stroke, high ¾ slot. Delivery works on-line, lands square, finishes with intent. Fastball works mostly straight, touched 86 mph, sat 83-84 early. Curveball played in the upper-60's, 11/5 shape, lands for strikes. Should continue to sharpen up if thrown with more intent. If the trend of his older two brothers, Evan (Notre Dame) and Will (Purdue), holds true, Grant’s velocity will continue to tick up over the next few years.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B A power arm prospect who landed in the rankings on the state's initial '23 board.
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Athletic, well-proportioned frame with room to develop strength.

Arm Action: RH. Compact arm action, high 3/4 slot. Above-average arm speed for age.
FB: T85, 81-84 mph. Four-seam type with slight arm-side action when he stays behind; works around to cut it at times.
CB: 67-70 mph. 12/6 shape with some depth, gradual break. Sets up his fastball for success up in the zone.
CH: 68-71 mph. Fastball arm speed and intent; showed natural sinking action, feel for pitch.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Proportional strength in athletic frame.
Delivery: Squared start from the center of the rubber; fluid side step to athletic high knee balance point. Lead leg drops down and out to slightly open landing. Athletic finish, in control, some effort involved.
