Aaron Katz, RHP, Hinsdale Central, 2026 Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame, broad shoulders with present strength. Came out of the ‘pen and threw it well in his inning of work, striking out the side without allowing a baserunner. The right-hander has some deception in his delivery with a drop/drive lower-half, staying in his legs to create a lower release. His arm plays long out of the glove with a reach on the backside, coming through from a lower ¾ release. His fastball played around 80-82 mph with natural run to his arm-side, setting up a low-60s curveball with sharp 11/5 action and depth at times.
