Uncommitted, currently ranked no. 178 in Illinois’s 2026 class. Featuring a lean 6-foot, 171-pound frame with room for added strength, Geiser tossed four hitless innings in a 9-0 win. The right-hander operated out of a controlled delivery, working intently down the mound, with a whippy ¾ arm action. He was able to induce plenty of weak contact throughout the game with his three-pitch mix. He painted the corners well with his fastball at 83-85 mph, topping 86 mph in the first inning. He also utilized a sharp 10/4 slider at 72-74 mph, and a fading changeup at 79-80 mph. An overall quality appearance on the mound from the uncommitted right-hander, who is a name to keep an eye on.
RHP Johnny Geisser (Crystal Lake Central, 2026) is an uncommitted name to know from the day with a real three-pitch mix. He has a simple and compact delivery, pairing with a loose/clean arm from a ¾ window. His fastball played with some jump in the 86-87 mph range, peaking at 87.5 mph with the ability to throw it in the zone. He showed above-average spin on his slider, playing over 2,400 RPM at times with sharp bite and some lateral action, 74-76 mph. His final offering was a firm changeup he could land for strikes, playing with natural arm-side run at 79-80 mph. Clean and polished arm with a starter profile.
