Vincent
Bitter

The former Future Gamer and Redbird commit threw a no hitter against Nathan Hale, walking one and striking out ten. Also had five hits on the week with a walk and three RBIs.

+ RHP Vince Bitter (Brookfield Central, 2026; Illinois State) was our very first pitcher of the day and he really set the tone for a talent-packed event. Bitter sat 88-89 mph (90.3 max) on a quality fastball that he attacked the zone with. He has feel for the zone with his secondaries as well, like his slider, 76-78 mph, that sweeps at nearly 10 inches on average (1.2-inch IVB avg.). The changeup might even be his best secondary, at 78-79 mph he gets it to move arm-side at 12.3 inches (-3.2-inch IVB avg.). From a simple, low-effort delivery inside a physical 6-foot-2, 210-pound stature, Bitter exhibits starter traits at the next level.

Uncommitted, Butter went 6-for-13 at the plate with two doubles and RBIs while walking once across the week.

The 6-foot-1, 207-pound right-hander was the first arm out of the ‘pen for the Lancers on Friday. Showing a lively two pitch mix across his 1.1 innings on the mound, Bitter struggled to control his pitches in this outing, however his stuff was impressive throughout. Bitter was 85-87 mph with his fastball, able to run it up to 90 on his hardest bullet and the pitch earned swings-and-misses in and out of the zone. Bitter also flashed a sharp low-70s slider that projects as a potential out pitch moving forward. Bitter has the arm talent to be one of the top pitchers in his class moving forward and will be a name-to-know moving forward.

RHP Vincent Bitter (Brookfield Central, 2026) established himself as a name to know in the state after his performance on the mound on Sunday. Bitter is a long-levered athlete with a strong build that still has more upside to tap into. Bitter had a big velocity jump since the last time we saw him a year ago and was pitching comfortably with his fastball in the mid-80s topping out at 87 mph while showcasing touch and feel to get it to spots. The sophomore also threw a two-plane breaking slider that he can land for strikes and quality change-up thrown with fastball intent. The change-up flashed the potential to be an out-pitch weapon for the righty, too.
