RHP Miles Woolsey (Mahomet-Seymour, 2025) is another uncommitted arm to know from Tuesday’s event. Woolsey stands in an athletic frame at 6-foot, 181-pounds with strength, too. He’s a loose, athletic mover on the mound with a clean, quick arm path out of a ¾ slot. He showed an impressive three-pitch mix, starting with an 86-87 mph fastball with quality spin (avg. 2217 rpm). He showed a low-70s slider with short, horizontal actions and an average of 2337 rpm. Arguably his best off-speed pitch was his change-up, which sat 72-74 mph with heavy fade, producing an average of 20.5 inches of horizontal movement. A must-follow uncommitted arm in Illinois’ incoming senior class.
