RHP Mason Jurewicz (New Trier, 2025) put up some quality metrics throughout his ‘pen. The projectable right-hander stands in a lean, 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame and he has plenty of room to add on strength in the coming years. He has a methodical delivery, working with a drop/drive lower-half down the mound with a closed stride. His arm is longer in the back but remains loose and clean, delivering his arsenal from a ¾ slot. His fastball played in the 81-84 mph range with life out of the hand, routinely spinning over 2,300 rpm with carry. His curveball also has quality spin, working over 2,300 rpm at times as well with some sweep and 10/4 action. His slider played with tighter action at times but also came through the zone with lateral shape, 74-75 mph. His final offering was a heavy fading changeup at 74-77 mph.
