2026 Preseason All-State Underclass: 2028 Pitchers Notebook

March 16, 2026
Cooper Trinkle
Scouting Director

This class begins their ascent into the recruiting spotlight as the August 1st date becomes closer and closer, the official start to the recruiting window for 2028 prospects. Our 2028 class is filled with quality pitching prospects, and our Underclass All-State on March 8th brought that arm talent to the forefront. Amongst the 79 pitchers that threw a bullpen at the All-State, 47% of them reached at least 85 mph or-better, while 5 pitchers touched 90 mph throughout the day. The pure stuff continues to elevate as each class comes through, but we are especially excited to follow this talented crop of arms through the spring and summer and we near the recruiting window.

Find the full event statistics, here.

Today, we've gone in-depth on forty of our favorite pitching prospects from the Preseason All-State Underclass edition, listed in alphabetical order below...

+ RHP Sam Behrendt, Pendleton Heights
Imposing, physical frame at 6-foot-4, 230-pounds. Showed very well for himself at this event; leaves a winner due for a bit of a jump in our next update. Taller lift before a reaching stride; lands soft and in-line. Finishes with some balance over the front-side. Quicker arm stroke with plenty of arm strength powered an 85-86.5 mph heater that appeared heavy and averaged 18+ inches of induced vertical break. Still refining secondaries; landed a big, mid-60s curveball and showed a change in the mid-70s. In total, he showed quality growth compared to last summer and remains a high follow for our staff in this class. 

+ LHP Luke Benefiel, Fishers
Proportional, 5-foot-10, 175-pounder who flooded the zone with four distinct shapes. Polished, efficient movement patterns. Loose, full-circle arm action. Dotted low-80s fastball; up to 82. Two distinct breaking ball shapes; a short slider at 72-74 and a a big curveball in the upper-60s. Upper-70s change has a chance to be a weapon and is controlled extremely well. High floor arm with excellent pitch-ability. 

+ RHP Darret Branson, Mater Dei
Showing steady trends and continuing to provides a starters' look, Branson attacked the zone with conviction with a polished 3-pitch mix out of a faster-paced delivery. Lifting to an even balance point and landing square to home with a quick, clean arm on the backside, Darret pitched at 87-88+ with a carry fastball while tunneling a sharp, low-70s 2400+ curveball off of it for strikes. He faded an upper-70s change below the zone that was executed at a quality clip, as well. I love the downhill nature of the delivery, especially with the way he is able to flood the zone. There is easy projections left to the athletic, square-shouldered, high-waisted frame to expect the velocity to continue to steadily trend in the right direction. 

+ RHP Connor Buck, Charlestown
Long-legged, 6-foot-1, 170-pounder with plenty of projection left. Controlled lift w/ reaching stride as he holds the torso over the rubber. Loose arm stroke with quality arm speed as he accelerates it to a high 3/4. Spins the baseball very well. Went 2400 on the fastball at 82-83; carries it an above average clip. Can flat spin the breaking ball for two distinct shapes; upper-60s breaking ball averaged 2800+ with big two-plane shape and a more sweeper-shaped SL at 72-73. He showed a 75-78 change, as well, that is a sinker-type pitch that changes pace. I value the ability to spin the baseball here and it is easy to project more strength that will elevate the velocity. 

+ RHP Dylan Chism, Norwell
Proportional, 6-foot, 180-pounder with present strength in the lower-half. Lifts to an exaggerated inward turn before uncoiling for a short stride. Short semi-stabbing arm action that speeds up as he rotates and releases from a wider, mid 3/4 slot. Was able to execute a running fastball for strikes at 86-87, touching 88. Showed two breaking ball grips; big sweep on a low-70s offering with tighter spin and shorter sweep on a firmer, similiar version of the pitch that played in the mid-70s. A touch more depth on the softer version due to the velocity variation. Best secondary was his 79-80 change that came out the hand with a fastball look; fell off the table late playing with arm-side run and sink. Super deceptive operation that will create an uncomfortable look, while the ability to control his arsenal creates a higher floor. 

+ RHP Nash Crafton, Madison Consolidated
Broad-shouldered, big-bodied frame at 6-foot-4, 205-pounds. Pitched at 83-85, touched 86, with a fastball that played with arm-side run. Wide, sweeping slider at 70-72; averaged 18" of sweep with 23-2400 spin. 73-75 change is a developing third. Rawer patterns that are a bit rigid presently, but the arm speed in the back-half of the operation does stand out and there is a real chance for further velocity gains. Showed the ability to control the FB/SL combo. 

+ RHP/C Matthew Fields, North Decatur
The upside is immense with Fields just scrathing the surface of his potential at present. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame is far from a finished product and he provided a quality look on both sides. On the bump, it is an old-school step-and-throw delivery as he finishes over the front-side with balance. It's a short, quicker arm stroke that he repeated well as he filled the zone up with fastball strikes at 86-88, touching 89. He pulled the string on a quality upper-70s change and showed an at-least average slider at 76-77. While there are room for refinements here, his ability to get to upper-80s velocities with ease and control leaves bullish projections moving forward. On the offensive side, the primary backstop showed a highly-valued profile as a LHH catcher with arm strength. There is some rigidness in the box, but he turns the barrel on-plane deep and reached a peak exit of 93 mph, while also firing it 80 mph from the crouch, good for second amongst all participants. 

+ RHP Carson Frome, Evansville North
Younger for the class with the face and frame looking as such, Frome was another that stood out with a strong combination of stuff and feel. His hips powered a well-sequenced delivery as a longer arm swing gradually built pace to a high 3/4 release. Pitching at 86-88.6, Frome carried the heater at the top for 18" of vert on average while spinning a top-down curveball off of it at 74-75, and also showing an upper-70s slider with distinct differences in the shape. He showed feel for a 76-78 straight change as well, controlling his four-pitch mix as well as any arm at the event. There is ample room to add to his 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame that should do nothing but enhance his arm speed and velocities in the future. 

+ SS/RHP Zac Glander, Noblesville
Making quality strides in his development along with maturing at a noticeable rate, Glander showed well in all-facets. Now 5-foot-11 and 165-pounds, Glander threw a polished 'pen where he sat 84-85 with two quality secondaries, including a 2500+ slider, and showed immense feel for all three pitches. On the offensive side, he turned in a 7.1 60 to start the day, and showed a familiar, athletic-paced, level, right-handed swing with exits up to 93 mph. To conclude, he took a proper-looking round on the infield, securing the ball with soft hands, showing a playable transfer, and getting into an 86 mph across quickly. The skill here stands out and continues to elevate with maturity. 

+ RHP Kaden Hall, Hagerstown
Strong, broad-shouldered, 6-foot-1, 180-pounder. Tall, wide lift into a tilt-and-topple style delivery that lands square a softer on the front leg. Longer arm stroke releases at a high 3/4 slot. Worked 83-84 on the fastball, touched 85, and it played with significant arm-side run. Best secondary offering shown was a mid-to-upper 70s split that he killed spin on and it played with tumbling action. Showed the ability to land a slurvey, 71-73 mph breaking ball. Above average feel for his arsenal at this stage. 

+ RHP Mark Haynes, Warsaw
Sturdy-hipped and strong at 6-foot-2, 205-pounds, Haynes attacked with casual effort for an 88-90 mph fastball that was controlled for mostly strikes. He spun two distinct breakers in the 24-2500 range; a low-70s CB that he landed and an upper-70s SL that has a chance to be a wipeout. There was a 80-81 change, as well, that played with arm-side sink and should give him options to attack left-handers with. The delivery is simple and repeatable and he strides to a shorter, square landing as his inverted arm flipped-up in sync consistently. The projection is a bit limited, but the floor is set high with the better than average control, spin, and easy upper-80s velocities at present. 

+ LHP Luke Hensley, Tri-West
Looking like the highest ceiling guy of the bunch, Hensley's 6-foot-5, 185-pound frame is as premier as it gets and his bullpen reaffirmed bullish projections. Showing shades of a young Ethan Lund with a similiar tall lift and uphill shoulder plane, Hensley attacked with quality arm speed for an 86-87 mph fastball that played with boring life. He spun the breaking ball in the mid-70s, a slurvey-type offering that holds upside, and he controlled it well. There was feel for a low-80s change, as well, as he controlled the entire arsenal at an average to better clip with below-moderate effort throughout. As strength is packed on, Hensley's stuff will tick even further, but for now he holds the look of a must-know southpaw for August with starters' upside. 

+ RHP Rhett Hostetler, Noblesville
A winner from this event who showed strong jumps compared to last summer, Hostetler has grown into a protoypical pitchers frame, now standing at 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. He moves with balance as he lifts to a wider, taller balance point before working down the mound with a closed front-side, landing square to home, and finishing the delivery with balance. There is some deception in the way he takes the ball out of the glove and hides compact arm action behind his body, and it flips up on-time for a consistent release that allowed for control. His fastball worked at 85-86 mph with occasional cut, and he flooded the zone with it for 83% strikes. The breaking ball he showed has upside, a 69-71 mph offering for now that plays with shorter depth. Though average grades are on it for now, he has a chance to refine the breaking ball, and also showed a usable straight change at 75-78. With three usable offerings that he showed feel for, and a frame that can hold a lot more strength, Hostetler looks the part of a starter profile and will be monitored closely in 2026. 

+ LHP Charlie Johnson, Cathedral
A polished strike-thrower who stayed within himself and did just that, Johnson flooded it with four distinct shapes for some of the best execution of the underclass portion. It was a familiar, tight, tucked, balanced operation as he uses a short, compact takeaway and showed a quick arm to a low-release, over-the-top slot. He spun the 84-85 mph fastball true to both sides of the plate while showing immense feel to execute a slider to all parts. The slider worked 74-76 in the 23-2400 range and his ability to back-door, land, and get to what would-be the back foot of a righty was on full-display. He also spun a more-downer 72-74 curveball while his 73-75 mph change was sold with fastball arm speed, executed well, and looked the part of a future weapon. While the raw velocities and 6-foot frame don't jump out, the ability to pitch does and this look further solidified Charlie as a quality follow amongst a deep group of southpaws in the class. 

+ RHP William Koon, Fishers
Broad-shouldered with strength in a 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame, Koon showed well for himself while providing a strike-throwers look. Clean/balanced delivery that works in-line with a quicker arm stroke on the back-side. Pitched at 80-83 with some arm-side life and carry; showed abv avg fastball feel. Low-70s slider flashed sharp, averaging 2169 RPM and flashing 2300+ spin. 

+ LHP Owen Kopercinski, Lake Central
An athletic southpaw who stands at 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with present twitch in the frame. Gets to the top of a moderate-heighted, even balance point with control, before picking up intent there and attacking downhill. Arm works in a quick, stabbing manner on the backside and speeds to the front quickly. Deception in the way the arm works and hides behind the body. The fastball played at 84-86 with average life and average to better control. Has made advancements with the slider since last summer, now a 67-70 mph offering with slurvey shape. Also flashed a 75 mph change that is serviceable. Higher floor southpaw considering the stuff, arm speed, and deception. 

+ RHP Matthew Kulig, Andrean
Beginning to add quality mass to an athletic, 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame, Kulig peppered the zone with a three-pitch mix as he stood out with quality stuff that he got to with below-moderate intent. Athletically paced as he coils the upper body and swings to square, Kulig's clean arm stroke produced an 85-87 mph heater that played with cut/ride properties. The 75-77 mph slider he showed looked like a fastball until late, taking a late, short turn to the gloveside while spinning north-of 2400 consistently. He showed feel for all three and rounded the arsenal with a tumbing change at 78-80. With a young look and the athleticism of a shortstop, look for consistent jumps throughout the year as Kulig matures into more strength. 

+ RHP Brady Martin, Greenfield-Central
Present athleticism to a 6-foot-3, 175-pound projectable frame. Lifts to a tall balance point before a dynamic, downhill move down the slope that lands in-line. Draws the arm back after hand break with some control before gaining intent and arm speed as he gets to his over-the-top slot. Fastball played 83-85 mph with a steeper look from a north-of 6-foot release height. His low-to-mid 70s slider played with 10" of sweep on average and was controlled well. Showed a low-70s split, too. With athleticism, room for future gains, and the ability to control the baseball - Martin remains a strong follow for our staff amongst a deep group of 2028 right-handers. 

+ RHP Gavin McGee, Roncalli
Continuing to refine his game, McGee's bullpen was outstanding as he brought a wider arsenal, along with noticeably more strength in his 6-foot, 190-pound frame. Uncoiling from a taller lift with athleticism, McGee's quick, clean arm stroke turned in 89-90 mph heaters consistently and he reached back for an event-best 92.4 to conclude the look. The supinated arm comes through with impressive arm speed as he manipulated two distinct breaking ball shapes; a short, tight 85-86 cutter and a two-plane CB at 2500+ that flashed sharp. The circle change faded late at 80-83 and looked similiar to his 88-89 mph sinker out the hand. It is five true shapes for McGee who looked as polished as any in this look. While the control has been fringe-to-average in the past, this look was quite the opposite as he repeated well and he appears to have made very strong strides in that department. If that control is repeated this spring, look for McGee to make a move up the board amongst this uber-talented crop of arms in the 2028 class. 

+ RHP Chris Misch, Norwell
Misch's 6-foot-6, 180-pound frame holds a sky-high ceiling look and he once again flooded the zone like he did at our Northeast Preseason ID last month. There is an impressive ability to control his levers as he makes an athletic drop-and-drive while gaining big extension towards the plate. The arm works with a longer drawback before quickly getting to the front in an uninterrupted fashion. He worked 84-86 on the heater, and spun a shorter 74-77 mph slider off of it. There was a low-70s landed CB, as well, and I really liked his low-to-mid 70s split that worked with tumbling action. Far from a finished product, Misch's ability to control his body and athleticism creates an impressive floor, while the arm speed and frame leave premier projections as he exits the offseason with a chance to make a serious name for himself in 2026. 

+ RHP Bishop Moore, Beech Grove
Moore has one of the higher ceilings in the class standing at 6-foot-7, 200-pounds with impressive athleticism for the frame. A QB1 in the fall along with being regarded highly as a basketball recruit, Moore is polishing at a steady rate on the bump. Working exclusively from the stretch with fluidity to the drop-and-drive, Moore's takeaway works on a longer, downward path before using the front arm arm as a lever to create arm speed. He pitched at 88-90, and touched 91, with cut/ride properties to a heavy fastball. His mid-70s curveball flashed sharp and tunneled nicely off the heater as it played with depth. He showed a mid-70s change, as well, that was inconsistent in this look but flashed as a usable third. It is easy to project this out as a future 95+ mph arm given the arm talent and athleticism, and this look solidified his status as one of the top arms in the class. 

+ RHP Drew Morgan, Mt. Vernon
In a setting where intent tends to increase and control goes the other way, Morgan stayed within himself to show some of the most polished feel amongst right-handers of the day. Oozing upside with athleticism in the 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame, Morgan pitched at 86-87 as he averaged 86.6 with some bore to a fastball that he landed at a 71% clip, one of the top strike percentages amongst 85+ mph arms at the event. He was in the zone at a 60% clip with a 78-80 mph gyro-type slider that flashed sharp, and was also in the zone at a 67% clip with his 82-83 mph change. A 6.8 runner with immense projection, the feel to control the baseball, along with the athleticism he holds, presents a high-floor, high-ceiling look. 

+ RHP Cass Omlor, Zionsville
Polished mover with efficient movement patterns and a loose, clean arm stroke. Uses the front arm as a lever to create arm speed. Pitched at 81-84, touched 85.7 on his best bullet. Had feel for the fastball which is something we've seen consistently to this point. Well-shaped breaking ball at 66-67 that spun north of 2200 consistently. 69-71 change looked like a usable third. Secondaries are a touch lighter now, but both are shaped properly to suggest future growth, especially considering the polish within the delivery/feel/arm action. 

+ RHP Carson Pine, Homestead
Physical-framed, 6-foot-3, 205 pounder from the pitching factory that Homestead has become. Cleaner patterns; gets to a shorter, wide lift in an inward turn. Swings to a slightly open-toed landing. Loose, full-circle arm action gets to a higher 3/4 slot; some push to release. 83-85 fastball plays with some cut. Swept an upper-60s slider that is still in the developing stages. 74-75 change appears ahead of the spin; change has arm-side life and depth. Chance to make jumps, good follow.

+ RHP Caiden Pohler, Huntington North
A pick-to-click candidate as one of the youngest arms in the class, Pohler attacked with four distinct shapes while bringing as athletic of an operation as any. High-waisted with a young, athletic look at 6-foot, 175-pounds, Pohler uses an explosive drop-and-drive to create a unique look with an over-the-top arm coming through with plenty of arm speed as it releases at a 4-foot-7 release height. The 84-86 mph fastball plays with rise + run and sets the tunnel for a sharp, sweeping, mid-70s slider that spun north-of 2400. He showed a usable change at 78-80, along with spinning a true curveball in the low-70s that played with top-down bite. The ability to manipulate the baseball, along with the arm speed, athleticism, and feel stand out and another jump is bound to take place. 

+ RHP Owen Porter, Fishers
Highly-projectable arm that has a chance to make big jumps in the future. 6-foot-3, 172-pound frame has ample room to pack on strength. Tall lift with on-time hand break. Loose arm stroke whips to the front with easier-effort. Hips work well to power the arm through. Carried an 83-84 FB at 19" on average with solid average feel. Spun the breaking ball in the low-70s with sweeper shape; 2274 spin at peak and averaged 2190. SL has a chance to tick further. 75-76 CH plays with a straighter action. In total, this is a projection take that has a chance to make serious gains in the next 12 months. 

+ RHP Bodhi Pulley, Bloomington North
As intriguing as any in the class, Pulley brought a power look with a sturdy-hipped, physical, 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. Getting to a tall, inward turn with a methodical-paced double pump, Pulley exploded from the top of the lift while driving off the rubber with authority to a slightly open-toed land. The arm action gets deep and his hips power a loose, fast arm that produced true sink on an 89-90 mph heater. He controlled the heater well, and executed a quality change at 77-80 also. The breaking ball has a real chance to be a pro plus, spinning in the 2800s on average and into the 3000+ territory, but the execution was minimal as he backed it up consistently, a familiar miss. The stuff is some of the best in the class here, though the control is fringy at best to this point and will be monitored closely this spring and summer. 

+ LHP Andrew Rathbun, Leo
Clean, semi-polished mover with a lean 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame. Loose, compact arm action while pitching at 80-81 and touched 83. 77-78 change is an above average offering that plays with arm-side fade, shaped a low-70s breaking ball at an average clip. Plenty of upside to dream on; good follow.

+ UTL/RHP Spencer Schiff, Evansville Mater Dei
There may not have been a more-skilled prospect in attendance as Schiff not only impressed on the mound, but turned in a quality run time (6.9 60), had the best throwing metrics of any catcher in attendance (81 from crouch, sub-2 pops), looked the part on the infield, and may have took the most polished round of batting practice as any. The athletic, 6-foot, 185-pounder toed the rubber to start and pitched at 86-88, touching 89 with one of the cleanest/easiest operations of the day. The fastball is heavy with abv avg life and he spun a quality breaking ball at 72-73 off of it. He also showed a cut-change in the mid-70s that was controlled. The batting practice round was outstanding for Schiff as he set up with high hands in a strong base and hinged into a strong, repeatable launch position. The swing works connected off the back shoulder with proper spacing to allow for all-fields impacts, and he easily got to a 97 mph peak while averaging 90-plus throughout. The jury is still out on what the exact future profile is, but Schiff has real two-way projections for now, and is one of the top right-handers, catchers, corner infielders, and pure hitters in this group undoubtedly. 

+ RHP Braeden Schlote, Crawfordsville
Athletic, 6-foot-1, 195-pounder with still some projection; present strength in the lower half. Short lift/stride works in-sync w/ compact/clean arm action. Clears the head to get to a higher OTT slot. Supinated release leads to cut/ride properties on an 82-83 FB that touched 85 on his best bullet. Spun two breaking balls; a low-70s short two-plane CB and a mid-70s SL that spun tighter than the CB and played with hop-sweep. Good feel in total. 

+ LHP Macon Simpson, Floyd Central
Athleticism present in the projectable, 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame that has gained noticeable strength since last summer. Polished, athletic, balanced operation that works in-line. Turns the ball to CF during a loose-wristed, high takeaway and turns it over with some quickness to a higher slot. Poured fastball strikes at 81-83 to both sides. Controlled an average breaking ball with two-plane break in the low-70s while also showing feel for a sinking change at 76-78. Quality follow considering the frame, the athleticism within it, and the strike-throwing nature.  

+ RHP Henry Skeen, Hamilton Southeastern
Athleticism stands out for the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder. Gradually builds pace in the well-sequenced delivery to allow a loose, full-circle arm to continously accelerate. Shorter stride, upright finish. Fastball played with significant arm-side run at 85-86, touched 87.5 on his best bullet. Short sweep on the 76-77 mph slider that was inconsistent in this look. Best secondary was a splitter with killed-spin that played with tumble. It is a raw-but-athletic operation for now, but the arm speed is valued and he has a real chance to polish. 

+ RHP Rhys Sorgius, Gibson Southern 
Lean, 6-foot-2, 160-pounder with clean, balanced patterns. Simple delivery with loose arm stroke. Pitched at 81-83.5 with some sink to a heater that he controlled well. Spun a quality breaking ball that is his best present pitch; 74-76 mph offering that averaged 2459 RPM and he swept it at 10" on average. Firm, sinker-like change in the low-80s. Filled the zone with all of his pitches. Also, reached 90 mph from the outfield. With the raw arm strength shown from the outfield, and the ability to spin a true slider in the mid-70s, velocity jumps are projected sooner-rather than later and will amplify advanced pitch-ability. 

+ RHP Finn Steiner, University
Square-shouldered and uber-projectable at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds, Steiner looked like one of the highest-upside arms in the bunch while showing a bit of a tick in his overall stuff and velocities. He gets to a tall lift with a higher hand break in an athletic fashion before a shorter stride lands with a slight open toe. It is a quicker arm that gets to a higher 3/4 slot as the 86-87+ mph fastball plays with life through the zone. The heater had borderline-average control in this look, but the breaking ball took a major step up and was executed well throughout. He spun the slider with true sweep at 25-2600 and it looked the part of a future wipeout at 76-79. The change is a quality offering and played sinker-like at 82-84. Steiner has polished at a notable rate and will remain regarded as one of the top prospects in the bunch with a chance to soar if he hones in control consistently this spring. 

+ LHP Paul Stewart, Noblesville
Athletic southpaw who filled the zone while making advancements in his overall stuff. Undersized frame at 5-foot-9, 170-pounds. Balanced, in-line operation is repeated well. Loose, clean arm action works to a stock. over-the-top slot. Pitched at 82-84 with feel to control the fastball to both sides. Mixed with a 68-71 mph slider and 74-77 change, both usable secondaries that he controlled well.  

+ OF/RHP Braylon Storey, Center Grove
The advancements on the offensive side for Storey were on full display as one of the most impressive prospects at this event. The athlete wows you; a 6.4 runner who produced 105 mph peak exits with a fastball that runs into the low-90s already. There is premier projections to the explosive, 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame that already holds unteachable twitch. The run time was one of the top marks of the day and he coupled that tool with 77 mph bat speed on average. He is more grounded in the swing than ever before, coiling the upper body as he hinges into a strong launch position. The uncoil is explosive as the barrel works more-uphill and he drove the ball with authority to the big part of the field. On the mound, the arm talent is just as impressive and he rotates in a similiar fashion from a coiled setup in a stretch-only look. It is a shorter arm action that produced 89-91 mph fastballs from a higher slot. The fastball explodes thru the zone with life. The 79-82 change is a touch ahead of the spin as he is able to create some arm-side tumble with it. He spun a slurvey 76-78 mph breaking ball that grades as average for now. The overall control is fringy to this point. In total, the defensive profile on paper looks like a slam-dunk CF, though he has minimal outfield time as he is transitioning there now. The control on the mound must be monitored, as well, but there is no doubt that the unteachable blend of speed and power that he brings warrants a follow from P4 programs and he has plenty of time to polish the rawer parts of his game.

+ RHP Aiden Thompson, Center Grove
Wiry, athletic, 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame with explosive strength. Easy to project future gains. Used a simple, tall, inward turn lift before uncoiling in-line. Continous arm stroke gains big arm speed as it works to the front. Showed two fastball shapes (4s/SNK), both playing 84-87 mph with sporadic control. Spun a tight, 74-75 slider with wipeout upside; 2388 avg spin with true sweep as he averaged 13.5 inches on it. Control for SL was better than the FB, but still inconsistent in total. Flashed an upper-70s change. While the control is lackluster for now, the stuff and the frame checks boxes, as does the explosive athleticism. Real chance to polish, high follow. 

+ RHP William Tielker, Zionsville
Clean, polished mover with a lean, athletic, 6-foot, 160-pound frame that provides projection. Young look overall, strong chance for more growth. Front-side stays closed as he moves down the slope. Loose arm works on a longer path. Hips power the arm to come through with above average arm speed. Fastball played 82-85 with arm-side life. Spun an above average slider at 72-75; averaged 2238 spin with 9" of sweep and some depth. Also showed a usable straight change in the low-to-mid 70s. Showed feel for all. Promising follow with a real chance for more jumps. 

+ RHP TJ Turner Jr., Cascade
Big, physical, 6-foot-2, 200-pounder. Short, even lift with explosive downhill drive. Clean/quick arm action that works to a higher OTT slot. Real cut/ride properties to the 82-83 mph fastball. Two distinct breaking ball shapes in the low-70s, shaped well but still lower spin. Best secondary was a 73-76 change that played with fade. The stuff doesn't jump out now, but it is a clean arm, physical frame, and he repeats the delivery well. 

+ RHP Max Warner, Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian
Moving with quicker pace in a balanced fashion, the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder coils his hips with a tucked lift before a clean drop and drive lands with a slight open front toe. The arm works in-sync as it works continous on a longer, full-circle path and releases from a more over-the-top slot that plays from a lower release height. The combination of OTT + 5-foot-3 release, in-conjuction with the 20" of vert he induced on his low-to-mid 80s heater (T86) should allow the fastball to climb above barrels with a hitter in the box. He mixed with three secondaries that worked towards his glove-side; a 76-77 cutter-like breaking ball, more of a true sweeper at 72-73, and a cut-change at 79-80. With ample room for growth in the frame, a fastball that could miss bats, and three usable secondaries, Warner has pick-to-click potential and will be monitored closely from here on out.
