Levi Gazarek RHP / SS / North Baltimore, OH / 2020Rankings StateRank: 41 / POS: 17
 NORTH BALTIMORE - One look at Levi Gazarek and the words physical athlete come to mind.
Standing 6-5 and weighing 225, the North Baltimore junior has college recruiters more than enthusiastic about what lies ahead for the fourth-ranked unsigned 2020 right-handed pitcher in Ohio. "Levi has one of the higher ceilings when it comes to uncommitted arms in that class,” noted Jordan Chiero, PBR Ohio Director of Scouting. “He’s 6-foot-5 with obvious physicality to his frame and a fastball we've seen up to 86 mph. He seems to get more and more velo each time we see him. “He has a chance to be one of the more talked about names this season if he can polish up a few things and develop a secondary pitch that can consistently get hitters out." That is something Gazarek is passionately working on. “The biggest thing I need right now is to get that sharp breaking ball I can throw anytime on any count,” noted Gazarek, whose favorite pitch is a splitter to go along with a four-seam fastball, two-seam fastball, curve and slider. “Once I get that …” The sky’s the limit. After all, the 41st-rated junior in the state has already made tremendous strides in the past year. “I went from being 6-3/6-4 and 195-200 to 6-5, 225-230,” Gazarek said. “And it’s not fat I’m putting on. Football has helped with lifting and I’ve gotten a lot stronger.” |
