Leark, gave an intriguing look as well, as the left-handed hitter showcased quick hands through the zone with a flat path, creating extension out front while looking to keep the ball on a line; reaching up to 95.9 mph and recording several balls over the 95 mph benchmark. Defensively, he floats to the ball with fluid footwork, soft hands through the ball. Impressive arm-strength from a crow hop, reaching up to 95 mph. 6.88 runner in the 60.

Verbally committed to Northern Illinois.

OF Timmy Leark (Oak Park-River Forest, 2025) was one of the top uncommitted prospects in attendance over the weekend. 5-foot-10, 160-pound build with an athletic frame, still has room to add on plenty of muscle as he matures. High-level athlete, cruising to a 6.88 60-yard dash in-event over the summer. The left-handed hitter was a tough out all weekend, fighting deep into counts and showing willingness to use the whole field. Quick and direct hands allow him to manipulate the barrel and stay on time. Quality defender in the outfield with a quick first step and easy range. Present arm-strength was put on display when he hopped on the mound and cruised at 86 mph.

Showing some of the louder tools throughout the event was OF Timmy Leark (Oak Park River Forest, 2025). Twitchy, athletic 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame with room for added strength. Ran a 6.88 second 60 yard dash during the workout portion. Simple and repeatable swing that works explosively through the ball. Was on the barrel during BP (80% sweet spot) with a peak exit velocity of 93.6 mph. Translated a strong workout into gameplay, barreling a loud double to the pull-side gap. Strong arm that topped at 89 mph from the outfield. Has the tools to stick in centerfield and will only get better as he physically matures.
