TUESDAY, MARCH 25TH

No. 1 Providence Catholic vs. St. Charles North

By: Tyler Defibaugh
Manager, Content & Operations/Area Scout

RHP Keaton Reinke, St. Charles North, 2026
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 12 in the state and No. 396 nationally. High-level wide receiver recruit in football as well. Got the ball to start for the North Stars and continues to look the part of a high-follow arm in the region. Lean and projectable 6-foot-4, 206-pound frame. Controlled and athletic mover down the mound, long/loose arm action, high ¾ slot. His fastball played clean out of the hand with life through the zone; sitting 87-90 mph (T91) early, before settling in at 86-88 mph. His go-to secondary was a sharp 75-78 mph curveball that reached over 2500 rpm at times, playing at the bottom of the zone with hard vertical break. Reinke also flashed a changeup at 82 mph. Punched out four over his two innings of work.
