RHP Aaron Katz (Hinsdale Central, 2026) stands in a strong, 6-foot-2, 182-pound frame with round, sloped shoulders and room to add on strength. Working out of the stretch only, Katz has a high leg-lift into balance point, working in-line to his target with a slightly closed landing. He has a fast arm that plays with a short draw in the back, transitioning into a ¾ release. His fastball played in the mid-70s, topping out at 78 mph with heavy life to his arm-side; setting up a gradual 11/5 curveball at 61-63 mph and slider with feel for the zone and depth, 61-65 mph. He showed the ability to locate his changeup, playing with fading and running action at 68-71 mph. Intriguing arm to follow throughout his prep career.
