Verbally committed to McHenry County JC.
RHP Kaden Norman (Cary-Grove, 2026) showed an intriguing look on the mound, throwing from a deceptive slot. Wiry, high-waisted 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame. The right-hander worked out of an athletic, up-tempo delivery, utilizing a high leg lift with tuck, landing in-line, from a full, low ¾ arm slot. His fastball sat 80-83 mph with a max spin rate of 2,463 rpm and a HM max of 16”. He also employed a high-spin slider at 69-72 with a spin rate in the ranges of 2,600-2,800+ rpm, and a changeup with arm-side fade at 74-77 mph with an HM max of 17.2”.
Another uncommitted 2026 to know is RHP Kaden Norman (Cary-Grove). He stands out physically with his 6-foot-2, 188-pound frame, looking to have a durable and strong build that still has room for added strength. The big right-hander showed easy intent throughout his ‘pen, working with a controlled operation that stays in-line with the plate. His arm is clean with a full circle out of the glove, creating a tough look for opposing hitters with his sidearm slot. He gets heavy arm-side run on the fastball thanks to his lower slot, sitting 81-83 mph throughout with nearly 2,400 RPM at times. His curveball had some slider shape due to his lower slot, playing from a 10/4 plane but also showing some sharp downward action, put-away pitch, 72-75 mph. His final offering was a changeup in the 78-79 mph range, thrown with fastball arm-speed and natural sink for strikes.
