RHP TJ Heatherly (Galesburg, 2026) had a strong outing on Tuesday as he showcased a true three-pitch mix. Strong 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame. The right-hander operates from a simple, controlled delivery with a high leg lift. Long, loose arm action from a high ¾ arm slot. His fastball sat 81-84 mph while topping out at 86 mph with sinking action. Heatherly mixed in a curveball that sat 68-72 mph with downer action. He also showed a changeup that sat 75-78 mph with fade. Heatherly was able to induce weak contact throughout his two innings of work.
RHP T. J. Heatherly (Galesburg, 2026) was able to induce weak contact throughout his two innings of work with his three-pitch mix. High-waisted 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame with some strength present throughout. The right-hander was able to get some swing-and-miss with his fastball that worked up to 86 mph, sitting in the mid-80s with a max HM of 17.6”. He also employed a tight 10/4 curveball at 68-72 mph with some feel for the zone, and a changeup that played with slight fade at 74-78 mph. An uncommitted right-handed arm to keep an eye on.
RHP TJ Heatherly, Galesburg, 2026 Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 190-pounds with lean strength. Impressed in three innings of relief, striking out four and allowing one hit. Repeatable on the mound, high leg lift with tuck, works in-line down the mound with controlled intent. Clean arm path with quickness out front, works out of a ¾ slot. Fastball sat 82-85 mph, topping out at 86 with clean sink and run, garnering multiple swings-and-misses with the pitch. Mixed in a 71-72 mph curveball that played with 11/5 shape, played down in the zone, showed confidence to throw it at times.
