Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Slider
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Slider
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 113 in the state. Well-proportioned 5-foot-11, 178-pound frame. Came in for relief and picked up three strikeouts through two innings of work while only walking one batter, allowing one hit and no earned runs. The right-hander operates with simple movement. Compact, quick arm action from a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 84-87 mph with some arm-side run. Mixed in a mid-70s slider that has 10/4 shape with sharp action.
RHP Sam McCollum, O’Fallon, 2026 Uncommitted. Started on the mound against No. 18 Morris and struck out two in two innings of work. Simple mover, leg lift with tuck, tall and fall delivery down the mound, body worked in-line down the mound, front foot landed slightly open. Clean, quick arm action out of a high ¾ slot. His fastball sat 84-86 mph in this look with slight arm-side action. Mixed in a low-70s breaking ball and one change-up at 79 mph.
RHP Sam McCollum (O’Fallon, 2026) was another one of many O’Fallon arms who showed well over the weekend. The strong 5-foot-11, 177-pound right-hander was running his fastball at 86-88 mph with carry through the zone, and occasional armside run. He showed to have above-average spin on his slider at times (avg. 2316 rpm) with short lateral action. McCollum finished things out with a 79-81 mph changeup that played with slight sink.
RHP Sam McCollum (O’Fallon) is a well-proportioned 5-foot-11, 177-pound arm-to-know. McCollum punched out three batters over his two innings of work, while showcasing a well-rounded three-pitch mix. His fastball sat 83-85 mph (T86) with occasional arm-side run and carry through the zone. He had feel to spin a 72-75 mph slider at an average of 2395 rpm, while landing it in the zone 55% of the time. McCollum rounded out his mix with a 79-80 mph changeup that showed slight arm-side fade.

OF/RHP Sam McCollum (O’Fallon, IL, 2026) is a sophomore to follow with tools on both sides of the ball. A strong-bodied 5-foot-11, 180-pound athlete, McCollum ran a 7.10 60-yard dash, improving on the 7.54 mark he ran last year, and he was up to 89 mph from the outfield, which tied for the second-highest mark of the day. Offensively, he worked mostly line drives to the pull-side from a strong, level right-handed swing. On the mound, McCollum pitched at 84-86 mph with a firm 79-80 mph changeup and he spun a lateral slider at 75-77 mph as well.
