Uncommitted. Stands in at an imposing 6-foot-5, 217-pounds, and got the ball to start for Mundelein. The southpaw impressed with his composure in big spots in the game; he gave up a solo home run in the top of the first inning, but continued to throw strikes and go right at the opposing lineup, and trust his stuff. He has a simple and repeatable delivery, with clean and loose arm action to pair from a ¾ window. His fastball played with natural arm-side run at 81-82 mph (T83), while his go-to secondary offering was a 75-76 mph late-breaking slider that earned whiffs throughout his outing. Brua turned in a final line of: W, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 6 K.
Staying on the topic of physical prospects from Saturday, CIF Baris Brua (Mundelein, 2025) falls right into that category with his durable 6-foot-5, 217-pound frame. The L/L first-baseman took an impressive round of BP, scorching balls as high as 95.6 mph for his max EV, rocking his hands back with rhythm before transitioning into a flat path. He stayed through the baseball up the middle, and also showed the ability to stay through it the other way with authority. At first base, Brua displayed steady actions and appeared comfortable around the bag.
