C Patricio Velazquez (Libertyville, 2028) looks to be yet another talented underclassman the reigning 4A state champs will have in their program. There’s plenty to dream on in his long-levered 5-foot-11, 161-pound frame, and his tools are already starting to pop. The right-handed hitter took a clean, upside round of BP, posting a peak EV of 90 mph with a longer, loose swing that stays flat with line-drive intent. The defense is above-average with athletic actions and a strong arm (T79 mph), working in-line from the crouch with a clean transfer to create a pop-time as low as 1.94 seconds. High-ceiling catching prospect with his best days still ahead.
