RHP Tyler DeLuca (Minooka, 2024) stands at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds and showed well during his ‘pen on Monday. DeLuca showed off some arm talent with his low effort delivery by running his fastball up to 87 mph that was consistently around the zone. Also, showed feel for his two offspeed pitches, a curveball with 11/5 shape and a fading changeup with some depth.
