Uncommitted, 6-foot-3, 214-pound, left-handed hitting outfielder. Has been known for his ability on the mound in the past but it was his bat that stood out on this day. Hit out of the four-hole for Coal City, calm, physical presence in the box. Quiet load, leg-lift trigger and simple swing with advanced strength. Quiet head at foot strike, direct swing, strong hands and natural lift through the zone. Stays through the baseball and shows impressive opposite field power. Homered to deep left-center field in his first at-bat and followed up with a long double to nearly the same spot. Drove in three runs and scored one run. Follow middle-of-the-order left-handed bat in the 2023 class.

OF/RHP Kaelan Natyshok (Coal City, 2023) is a 6-foot-3, 214-pound, mature-minded left-handed hitter that takes a quality approach even in BP; letting the ball travel deep into the zone before transitioning into a short path through the zone. He stays inside the ball with quick/strong hands and uses the whole field to spray hard contact consistently (T96 mph max EV). On the mound, the right-hander ran his fastball up to 86.4 mph to set up a developing four-pitch mix. His changeup looks to be his best secondary offering at the moment, pairing off fastball arm-speed with heavy sinking action to the arm-side, 72-74 mph. He also featured two different breaking balls; the first being a curveball with some depth at 67-68 mph, and the second being a slider that he got around at times, 70-72 mph with 10/4 shape and side-spin.
