RHP Joseph Shimek (Brillion, 2026) displayed athleticism and projection at Saturday’s event, showcasing an extremely whippy arm. The 5-foot-11, 153-pound right-hander works with a high leg-tuck into a drop-and-drive delivery, maintaining good balance throughout. It’s a medium arm swing into that quick, whippy arm that he works at a low-¾ slot. Shimek worked mostly 82-83 mph on his fastball, reaching 83.9 mph with life and riding action through the zone. The curveball worked 66-69 mph, showing late, sharp 10/4 break. Shimek’s changeup was thrown with fastball intent, a pitch at 70-73 mph that featured running action. Shimek is an arm that should gain velocity as he continues to develop physically.
