Greyson
Rathgeb

Verbally committed to Maryville University.

Uncommitted. Lean, athletic 6-foot-1, 182-pound athlete with room for added strength, ranked No. 111 overall in the state’s junior class. Started in center field and hit in the five-hole for Edwardsville in a win over Chatham. Doubled into the right-center gap in his first trip to the plate to get the Tigers’ on the board. Hits in rhythm, works uphill through the zone at times with a natural feel to lift the baseball. Has cleaned up his swing significantly in the last 12 months; more fluid, able to get through the hitting zone consistently and find the barrel more often. Easy mover in center field, arm plays true with advanced strength for his age and is able to throw off platform.

Uncommitted, ranked No. 111 overall in the state’s current junior class. Upside 6-foot-1, 182-pound frame with lean levers that offer physical upside. Started in right field and hit in the five-hole in Edwardsville’s win last week. Has done nothing but improve offensively over the last 12 or so months. Polished, more balanced all-around operation, works in rhythm. Loose hands, barrel stays through the hitting zone on a long, level path that creates leverage out front. Barreled a single to right field and found another barrel on a lineout to center field later in the game. Easy arm strength from the outfield, loose and true in I/O, has been up to 91 mph at our events in the past.

One name that continues to get better each time we see him is OF Greyson Rathgeb (Edwardsville, 2025). He saw regular playing time in center field for the state champion Tigers this past spring and kept trending up afterwards with impressive stops at the Illinois State Games and Battle for The Arch. Rathgeb has present lean strength on a 6-foot, 177-pound frame that could stand to add even more muscle mass over the next few years. Rathgeb’s hands play loose, athletic, and in rhythm from the right side with gap-to-gap feel in this look. Rathgeb had the event’s strongest arm on Saturday, with his best bullet coming in at 91 mph. He attacks the ball in-stride in the outfield and plays with confident and clean footwork as well.

Trending upward following this most recent look, OF Greyson Rathgeb (Edwardsville, 2025) stands at a loose, projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pounds with plenty of room to fill out further. He took the best, most polished BP round we’ve seen from him yet at this event, working uphill through the zone with gap-to-gap feel and balance through contact. Rathgeb’s hardest barrel (92.3 mph) and furthest batted ball (348 ft.) were both personal bests of his at our events, and both of those metrics are likely to keep trending upward as he fills out further. In game, Rathgeb jumped all over an inner-half, first pitch 88 mph fastball and drove it down the left field line for a double. Rathgeb’s proven to be an asset defensively too, starting in center field for the 4A state champions this past spring, as a clean, free-flowing mover with above-average arm strength, topping at 88 mph on his hardest throw home.
