True Sophomore. Formerly ranked No. 77 in Illinois 2021 class. The 6-foot, 200-pound mature-bodied southpaw worked his tailing fastball up to 88.5 mph and paired it effectively off a firm, sinking changeup at 80 mph. His curveball played with short downer shape, 74-76 mph.

5-foot-11, 185 pound lefty pumped strikes, working from the far third base side of the pitching rubber. Arm works loose and free with a full circle in back to a high three-quarter release point. Average extension with good arm speed out front. Featured a low-spin (1,870 rpm) fastball at 85-87 mph with good arm side life. Curveball was a below average pitch on this look at 68-69 mph and spinning at 1,669 rpm on average. Stellano has since committed to Quincy University.
