RHP Mason Leske (Huntley, 2025) was yet another member of the junior class that showed well over the weekend. He has some strength throughout his 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame with round shoulders and evenly proportioned weight. He uses his lower-half well down the mound, sinking into his backside and riding it downhill with a balanced and repeatable operation. His arm plays clean and uninterrupted into a high ¾ release, creating a fastball that sat in the 83-86 mph range (2200-2300+ RPM) with mostly straight action and occasional ride through the zone. To pair off the fastball he went to an 11/5 curveball with sweeping action and occasional depth, maintaining fastball arm-speed and delivering the offering at 67-68 mph. He also displayed a changeup in the 74-76 mph range, thrown with intent while playing with late sink/diving action and above-average feel.
