Landon
Crawford

Uncommitted. 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame, long-levered, wiry frame with plenty of projection and strength still to come. Started on the mound in a 2A Regional Championship, tossed a complete game with eight strikeouts, one run, four hits and five walks allowed. Although the complete polish was not there throughout, he flashed upside with his three-pitch arsenal. Simple and clean mover on the mound with minimal effort and showed a clean arm path with a shorter action. Fastball worked up to 87-88 mph in the first inning, but sat mostly 82-85 mph throughout his full outing, played with arm-side run. Mixed in a curveball with 11/5 shape, sitting 73-75 mph, flashed out-pitch potential. Also threw a change-up at 70 mph with fade and depth at times. Crawford emerged as a must-know uncommitted southpaw in Illinois’ 2026 class.

Stats heading into game: 49.1 IP, 89 K, 33 BB, 9 ER, 22 H, 1.28 ERA.
