Collin
Mowry

Louisville signee currently ranked No. 9 in the state and No. 308 nationally had a solid all-around showing Monday. Offensively, he went 1-for-3, coming around to score two of the Knights’ three runs in the game. Mowry has a hitterish look about him in the box from the right side at an athletic 5-foot-11, 233-pounds with some present strength throughout the frame. His swing works direct to the ball and he is able to create extension through contact. Defensively, he has a commanding presence behind the dish and looks the part to go with his leadership qualities. He has flexible hips and repeatedly showed comfortable actions out of the crouch, displaying soft hands and the ability to present pitches at a high level. A willing blocker as well, Mowry looked comfortable catching a high-level arm in Luke Mensik throughout the game.

Louisville commit. Currently ranked No. 3 in the state and No. 55 nationally. A strong, muscular 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitting infielder, got the start at third base. Simple, balanced stance, confident look in the box, smooth, repeatable pre-pitch rhythm, small leg lift load. Athletic hands, compact swing with bat speed, athletic out of the box, line drive hitter with power, gap-to-gap approach. Had two hits on the day including a solo home run to the pull side and a two run double to the opposite gap. Highly athletic defender with soft hands and a quick exchange. Throws play accurately and with carry out of a loose arm action. 

5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitting catcher/infielder. One of the top 2024s at the Fall Championships. Advanced defender that has the athleticism to stick behind the plate or on the infield. Strength in lower half and receiving abilities will likely keep him behind the plate for the long term if he wants. Strong wrists, quiet soft glove, presents pitches well. Clean and quick out of the chute, arm plays true and with carry (has been 78 mph from the crouch). Offensively, profiles at the top or in the middle-of-an-order. Balanced through contact, hits with controlled aggression, present bat strength with the chance for power down the road. One of the top uncommitted 2024s in Illinois that we have seen to date.
