Uncommitted, one of the top sophomores in the state, set to debut in the next rankings update, standing at 5-foot-10, 189 pounds with strength throughout the frame. Hermus came on in relief of Deering with a loud look out of the ‘pen striking out two batters across 1.2 innings on the mound, walking two. In the zone with three pitches, the fastball reached 86 mph with running action, spun a sweeping breaking ball in the low-70s to pair with a running changeup at 76-78 mph.
+ RHP/MIF Maddux Hermus (Kimberly, 2027) is a strong 5-foot-10, 189-pound two-way athlete that is also a standout on the football field. Hermus made his way onto Kimberly’s varsity squad midway through his freshman year and looked like an improved version in our latest look at him. On the mound Hermus showed feel for his four pitch mix, his fastball plays in the mid-80s, topping out at 86 mph with slight cutting action. Hermus showed the ability to throw two different breaking balls, a 10/4 curveball in the low-70s and a mid-70s two-plane slider. Rounding off his arsenal, Hermus showed an upper-70s changeup that plays with depth off the fastball. Also an athlete, Hermus ran 6.85 60 yard dash to start his workout as a position player. At the plate, from the right-side Hermus took a loud round of BP, looking to elevate to the pull side with leverage out front. Defensively Hermus is a confident defender with sure hands and a quick transfer and an accurate arm up to 84 mph.
