RHP Michael Pasquesi (Highland Park, 2024) has touch and feel for a three-pitch mix and he toes the rubber at strong, physical 6-foot-2, 190-pounds. He’s a polished, in-line mover downhill that has performed in front of our staff in the past, most recently at The Rock, and he showed that at this event, too. Pasquesi pitched at 85-86 mph with his fastball, spun two different breaking balls around the zone, and killed both spin/lift on a firm upper-70s changeup with natural arm-side run (T17.4” HM).

Pasquesi showed why he is among the top uncommitted RHP in the state’s ‘24 class. Athletic 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame that moves well on the mound. Clean operation on the mound with a balanced delivery and fluid arm-action. Fastball played 82-85, T86 mph with finish to get in-zone swings and misses. Threw a low-70s curveball with conviction to keep hitters guessing. Finished with 13Ks in a CG shutout.
Highland Park RHP Michael Pasquesi (2024) carries a large frame and arm at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, and looks like there’s more in the tank. Pasquesi sat 85-87 with low effort that created some deceptive finish through the zone. Above average spin and action on his slider gives him two well above average offerings that should play well at the next level. Pasquesi also took a notable round of BP showing loose, strong hands, leverage to the pull-side and some sneaky jump off the barrel.
