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.
#MPL26
RHP Jimmy OโConnor (Nazareth, 2028) showing well fresh off a successful varsity season this past spring.
Flexible mover, upside in the long-levered frame.
FB working 87-89 mph early with tail arm-side at times, feel to work glove side. Flashed gyro SL in mid-70s.
#MPL26
SS Peter Pignatiello (Benet, 2028) continues to impress in front of our staff.
Hard run times out of the box, plays the game hard. Blossoming strength in the bat paired with athletic actions on the dirt.
#MPL26
C Luke Oyler (Normal Community, 2028) is a LHH backstop to know.
Loose and whippy swing with length through the zone. Sure-handed receiver with accurate arm, 2.09 between innings.
#MPL26
SS Landon Maisenbacher (Pleasant Plains, 2028) hammers this pull-side for a home run.
Strong uphill swing with present strength in the frame. Steady defender at short to pair.
#MPL26
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.
