Webster commit. Strong, compact frame at 5-foot-10, 180-pounds. Impressed out of the ‘pen to close out the 9-5 win over Collinsville, not allowing a single hit, run or walk and striking out three. He pounded the zone with his fastball in the 83-85 mph range, setting up a sharp 11/5 curveball at 74-75 mph. Bulldog mentality that competes, high intent.

RHP Jack Wilson (New Trier, 2024) is an uncommitted incoming senior with some present pitch ability. The right-hander has a drop/drive delivery, moves easily downhill with a high-intent, short arm action out of a ¾ slot. Showed a four-pitch mix with his fastball sitting 82-83 mph, topping at 83 mph. Including both a four-seam and a two-seam, each showed arm-side run and feel for the zone. Both the curveball and the slider had 11/5 shape and landed for strikes, with the curveball being the better of the two.

One of the day’s most impressive ‘pens came from RHP Jack Wilson (New Trier, 2024). The 5-foot-10, 160-pound sophomore worked with a quick aura to him on the mound, featuring an athletic delivery and fluid lower half movement patterns downhill. Wilson’s fastball entered the upper quadrant of the zone with late life at 81-82 mph. Wilson’s most enticing trait was his aptitude to spin his breaking balls - a curveball and slider mix that both played in the 68-70 mph range with sharp, late action off an 11/5 plane. The separator here was his ability to land them for strikes and bury them beneath the zone as well, enhancing his arsenal as a whole overall. He’s landed himself on our follow radar as his sophomore season at New Trier is set to begin in a few weeks.
