LHP John Olejniczak (Oak Lawn Community, 2026) gave an intriguing look during his start on Sunday. Olejniczak stands at a lean 6-foot-1, 155-pound frame with plenty of room for added strength. The left-hander worked mostly in the upper-70s with the fastball, T80 mph. Olejniczak often went to a low-70s change-up with fade for strikes and swings and misses. The Sophomore impressed in our staff’s first look, and is an arm to watch as he develops.
