Prep Baseball Illinois Pitcher of the Week: Will Bemrich
April 21, 2026
Senior Parkland commit Will Bemrich (Mundelein) tossed a gem last week against conference foe Stevenson, helping them to a perfect undefeated record in conference up to this point. For his efforts and outstanding performance, Bemrich has been named this week’s Pitcher of the Week.
The southpaw fired a complete-game (seven innings) no-hitter against a strong Stevenson club, scattering one earned run on a fielder’s choice, three walks and seven strikeouts in a 10-1 win.
The 6-foot-3 southpaw is currently ranked No. 164 in the state, pairing projection with present ability on the mound. He’s a clean and loose mover with a long-levered operation, giving opposing hitters a tough look from a lower slot. The fastball will play in the mid-80s with natural sink/run - pairing with a sweeping slider and heavy fading changeup.
