By Drew Locascio
Illinois Scouting Director

As we dig through the players and numbers from this past winter, we are taking a look at a "Progress Report" feature that highlights players that have shown significant improvement in their game; whether it's on the mechanical end, performance wise, physicality or in the measurable statistic department. The "Progress Report" can be a minor improvement in recent months or a substantial transformation over time. Today we take a look at:

What Did We See?
In a year's time, Pecson put on 15 pounds of muscle and is now listed at a sturdy 6-foot, 175-pounds. With the added muscle, Pecson has seen all of his measurables improve, except his 60 time which is still a 6.85 and well above-average for his position and age. Pecson swings with intent, has advanced bat speed and the ball jumps off his barrel. Defensively, he is quick and athletic out of the crouch and his arm plays accurate. Pecson has turned himself into one of the top uncommitted catching prospects in the state.



Stay tuned over the next couple of months as we will continue to check-in on prospects throughout the state of Illinois who have made noticeable improvements to their games.
