Mason Rychetsky RHP / 3B / Kennedy, IL / 2027From 6/26/25: “FROM 2025 FUTURE GAMES: RHP Mason Rychetsky (Kennedy) started things off for us on the mound in game three, showing a three-pitch mix with some life in the arm. He’s a controlled mover with a coiled balance point and high leg-lift, working with a longer stride in-line down the mound. He has a higher front side that helps hide the ball a bit, and his arm action is shorter out of the glove into a lower ¾ release. The fastball played in the 87-90 mph range with jump out of the hand and life. His curveball has putaway potential with sharp 11/5 shape and depth, 72-74 mph. Flashed a straight changeup at 76 mph.” |
