Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 12 in the Illinois’ 2021 class. 6-foot-1, 198-pound, right-handed pitcher; strong-bodied, thick lower half, durable, workhorse-type frame. Started on the mound for Marian Catholic. Smooth delivery, works with rhythm and stays on-line. Lands square, occasional effort and will spin off towards first base at times. One of the strongest arms in the class. Features arm strength and arm speed. Arm works clean and quick out of a high ¾ to over-the-top slot. Fastball comes out of his hand clean, finishes through the zone; works mostly straight, tilt at the bottom of the zone at times, erratic control, sat 85-88 mph, touching 89 early in the outing, was more 83-87 in his third inning. Flashed a much improved curveball. Sharp, late action, blended between 11/5 and 10/4 shape, occasional slurve look, potential out-pitch, 73-76 mph. Flashed a couple of changeups, straight, down in the zone, 75-76 mph. High-follow 2021 right-handed pitcher with plenty more in the tank as far of velocity and stuff.

Delivery works slow and controlled, repeated, works on-line and finishes upright. Arm works short, clean and out of high ¾ slot. Ball comes out of his hand clean and easy.

9.9.17 - 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed pitcher, strong physical build. Plus arm strength for his age, arm is quick and strong, high ¾ slot, comes out of tight deceptive window at times. Fastball played at 83-84 mph, occasional heavy feel when down. Curveball bites, 11/5 type, used sparingly at 64 mph. Right-handed hitter, aggressive in the box, bat speed and strength, attacks the baseball with violent swing. High follow 2021.
5.5.17 - Strong, physically advanced RHP/3B. On the mound, short, quick arm action from a high ¾ angle, easy effort. Stays in line with a square landing. Fastball, has arm-side run, sat 80-83 mph. Flashed a tight 11/5 curveball.
