John Swisher, LHP, Peotone HS, Class of 2012
At the Prep Baseball Report Unsigned Senior Showcase in the winter, Swisher was one of the top pitchers at the event, showing feel for three pitches.  Standing at 5-foot-9, 150-pounds, Swisher has a slow delivery with a deceiving front leg kick, but his arm works quickly; as the ball jumps out of his hand.  Swisher throws from a 3/4 arm slot, with a fastball that topped at 85 mph, sitting in the 82-83 range, with some late life.

Aside from his fastball, Swisher also throws a harder slurve, in the 78-79 mph range, and a 74-78 mph changeup.
