Today we catch up with Kyle Polaski, an OF from Joliet Catholic HS, Class of 2014

“Polaski is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound two-way player who showed well on the mound and defensively.  On the mound, Polaski has a good drive and loose back arm action.  He showed feel and command of three pitches: a a79-81 mph fastball, a slurve-type breaking ball (67-69 mph), and a 70-72 mph changeup.  Defensively, Polaski showcased solid hands and showed well at third base.  He was clocked at 78 mph across the diamond.”

PBR: Have you ever attended a Prep Baseball Report event?  If so what were your impressions of the event?
Polaski: I have attended two PBR events.  One was in November 2011 in which I was then invited to an invite only top prospect event in January 2012 which I also attended.  I liked the PBR events.  They are run very well and I welcome the competition.
