RHP Danny Basalone (Bolingbrook) provided our staff an intriguing look over the weekend. From a sidearm/submarine slot, the left-hander worked his fastball in the 77-80 mph range with natural sinking action to set up a sweeping 2/8 slider in the 70-72 mph range - landing it for strikes 100% of the time per TrackMan. He also went to a changeup at 69-72 mph, flashing some feel around the zone with heavy run/sink, profiling well off the fastball.
