RHP Nolan Hooper (Yorkville Christian, 2025) was another 2025 arm to note from the event. The 6-foot-2, 165-pound, wiry, long-levered right-hander showed lively stuff during his bullpen. He is still looking to harness his fastball control but it climbed to 88.2 mph with 15.8 average inches of induced vertical break and his curveball looks to be a go-to secondary offering. Playing at 74-76 mph, he landed it for strikes 100% of the time while working off a 12/6 plane and above average spin; average 2409 rpm. He rounded out his four pitch mix with a slider and changeup. Upside arm to keep tabs on.
