+ RHP Sam Sehlhorst (Glenbrook South, 2027) is an extremely projectable 6-foot-5, 180-pound right-hander to follow moving forward. He has an easy, long-levered delivery that creates some angle through the zone, finishing with an athletic leg-swing. His arm works from a higher ¾ window, helping to add to the angle he creates with his delivery. His fastball worked in the 77-81 mph range with some slight run to his arm-side, and he was able to move it around the zone throughout his ‘pen. The slider is still developing at 63-68 mph, and his changeup is a quality third offering with straight action, 66-68 mph.
