RHP Brody Libel (Glenbard North, 2027) made a strong impression at last Saturday’s event. The sophomore worked his fastball at 87-88 mph, showing a long, loose arm action and a quick release out front. Libel complemented it with a diverse mix: a curveball at 60-64 mph, a slider at 66-69 mph, and a 74-75 mph changeup that landed for strikes 100% of the time. Still early in his development, Libel’s live arm and athleticism on the mound established him as a follow in the class.

Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 165-pounds. Strong outing for the tall right hander as the stuff was lively early. FB ran up to 80 sitting at 79-77; heavy. Battled command issues early on but settled in and became a dominant pitch to collect whiffs with. Threw the CV with confidence in the mid-to-low 70’s. Showed a slight slurve shape with some sharp break that confused RHH. Deceptive sequences that had hitters guessing all morning. Final statline: 5.0 IP / 0 H / 0 ER / 2 K’s.

Libel shined on the mound in his brief start on Thursday afternoon. The athletic RHP displayed a smooth drop and drive delivery with ease down the mound. The arm works quick and from a high ¾ slot. The FB sat 76-78 mph, T79 with ride through the zone. Also flashed a CB that had slurve shape with swing and miss potential. Final line: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 K.
