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
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Uncommitted. Stands in a lean and athletic 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame with more to come. Started in right field and batted third, finishing the day 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored. A right-handed hitter, showed power potential at the plate, highlighted by the home run. Uncommitted junior name to follow in Illinois.
The young ‘28 turned in an impressive 5 inning outing, striking out 7 while filling up the zone at a 67% percent rate and consistently getting ahead of hitters. The right hander worked 87–88 with the fastball and showed confidence challenging in-zone, pairing it with an 80–83 changeup that falls off the table and a high-spin breaking ball with late action that tunnels well and creates swing-and-miss. Basinski showed advanced feel with the ability to land all three pitches in any count, marking him as an early ‘28 arm to follow closely heading toward August 1st.
RHP/OF Connor Basinski (Columbia, 2028) continues to solidify his status as one of the premier young talents in Illinois, showing across-the-board gains in this latest look. Now standing at 6-foot-3, 179 pounds, Basinski showed noticeable strength gains, resulting in a 9 mph jump in exit velocity—peaking at 99.5 mph and launching his furthest ball 354 feet during BP. He later hopped on the mound and worked in the mid-80s with his fastball, topping at 86.3 mph, while confidently filling the zone with a 69–71 mph curveball and a 70–73 mph slider. With two-way upside, physical projection, and tools that continue trending up, Basinski is a must-see name in Illinois’ 2028 class.
Connor Basinski, Columbia (IL), 2028
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-3, 180-pounds. Long lean frame with room for added strength.
Delivery: Drop and drive delivery with a deliberate tempo. Uses a high leg lift before striding straight down the mound into a balanced landing.
Arm Action: RH. Long loose arm action from a 3/4 slot.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Some strikes, moderate spin, arm side run. T2196, 2060 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Mostly strikes, rolling 1/7 shape. T1982, 1898 average rpm.
SL: 70-73 mph. Developing accuracy, feel for moderate spin, right to left break. T2138, 1994 average rpm.
ATH: 6.90 runner in the 60. 1.55 and 3.78 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Connor Basinski, Columbia (IL), 2028
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-3, 180-pounds. Long lean frame with room for added strength.
Hit: RHH. Upright even setup with front foot facing in, weight starting centered before shifting to the back side, and quiet hands. Uses a short leg lift trigger. Long flat path through the zone with a slightly uphill finish, some barrels, power present. 80.6 mph bat speed with 15 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 85.9 mph. 354' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-84 mph.
Defense: Athletic actions defensively.
ATH: 6.90 runner in the 60. 1.55 and 3.78 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
+ One of the youngest players at the event, RHP/OF Connor Basinski (Columbia, 2028; IL) put together one of the most complete performances of the day on both sides of the ball, emerging as a name to know in the 2028 class. Physically advanced at 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, Basinski got the day started with an impressive showing on the mound. The freshman effortlessly ran his fastball up to 85.5 mph, second best on the day, with much more to come. He also showed advanced feel to land his changeup/slider mix for strikes consistently. At the plate, the righty used a quick, rotational swing to line balls to the pullside throughout his round, posting a peak exit velocity of 90.5 mph. Basiniski finished up the day by firing a 85 mph bullet from the outfield.
