Strong early morning two-way look at RHP Nicholas Chiarodo (Edwardsville, 2028)
FB played up to 87 mph and cruised in mid 80s, confident in low-70s CB for strikes.
Loose with projection in everything he does.

Good two strike approach from C Chase Estrada (New Trier, 2029), really spreads out and battles.
Saw notable time on varsity and hit in the middle of the order, strength in the bat and can handle the glove behind the plate.
