LHP Owen Rog (DePaul College Prep, 2026) continues to look the part as an intriguing prospect in the state, currently coming in at No. 52 in Illinois. The southpaw has a highly projectable, 6-foot-1, 168-pound frame with lean levers and room to add on strength. He works with a simple, up-tempo delivery into a tall balance point, moving efficiently downhill with a quick arm that works directly to a high ¾ slot. His fastball jumps out of the hand at 84-85 mph with straight action, setting up a sharp 2/8 curveball that he shows confidence in, 68-71 mph. His final offering was a firm changeup with some arm-side life, playing around 71-73 mph. High-upside arm talent to know.
