Lincoln Boersma RHP / SS / Providence Catholic, IL / 2027

Illinois-Chicago Commit

From 8/05/25: “+ RHP Lincoln Boersma (Providence Catholic, 2027) is ranked No. 31 in the Illinois class of 2027. Boersma, a wiry, high-waisted, 6-foot-2, 166-pound frame, with more to come, gave a strong showing on the mound Tuesday. Striking out three over his two innings, the right-hander worked from a high-kick, drop, and drive motion, with easy and loose arm action from a lower ¾ slot. Dealing with a two-pitch mix, the fastball was sitting, 83-85 mph, T86 mph, showing lots of arm-side run, and the slider was 75-77 mph, working at the bottom of the zone with 2,500 RPM and tons of sweep. In-game, the slider was the most effective pitch, able to locate low and away, generating lots of whiffs. Giving righties trouble from a difficult slot, Boersma was able to work through hitters with ease, missing barrels and inducing weak groundballs.”
