LHP Anthony Karbowski (Hampshire, 2025; Louisville commit) was another arm that showed an intriguing three-pitch mix in his ‘pen. Plenty physical at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds, Karbowksi’s fastball played at 89-90 mph and spun on average at 2538 RPM, T2642 RPM. He threw his slider from nearly the same release height as his fastball, spinning it at 2675 RPM on average at 78-79 mph. Karbowski also featured a low lift, low spin (860 RPM) knuckle ball that he flashed a feel for the zone with at 74-77 mph.
LHP/1B Anthony Karbowski (Hampshire, 2025) entered this event as one of the top prospects on paper, and solidified his status as a name-to-know southpaw in the Illinois’ sophomore class. At 6-foot-2, 180-pounds, Karbowski pumped his fastball from a fluid, up-tempo delivery at 84-86 mph, topping at 87 mph on his firmest bullet. Karbowski also spun a low-70s breaking ball with sweeping action, peaking at 2,486 RPM on his highest spun pitch, while averaging nearly 2,300+ RPM as well. At the plate, Karbowski elevated contact to the pull-side from an athletic right-handed swing throughout his round of BP. Already slotted inside the top-50 prospects in the Illinois’ 2025 class, Karbowski generated positive momentum at this event heading into an integral off-season.
Positional Profile: 1B/LHP
Body: 6-2, 180-pounds. Athletic build, proportioned strength.
Delivery: Hands rock over head to initiate an athletic drop/drive type delivery, works closed off from target to footstrike, athletic finish through release.
Arm Action: LH. Long and loose arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. Ball jumps out the hand with life up in the zone. T2497, 2369 average rpm.
CB: 68-73 mph. 2/8 shape, sweeps it from a similar fastball slot. Knuckle-curve grip. T2486, 2267 average rpm.
KN: 69-70 mph. Thrown with intent, knuckling action.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, quick hand waggle to a back load, leg lift trigger, short stride. Athletic swing, on plane and natural lift throughout. Pull-side, lifted tendencies.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 85.6 mph. 307’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 84 mph. Loose/clean arm path, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Athletic actions, smooth/soft hands, fluid footwork, plays around and through the baseball.
Run: 7.42 runner in the 60.
LHP Anthony Karbowski (Hampshire, 2025) is a fluid-moving southpaw that works from a 6-foot, 165-pound frame. His delivery seems effortless down the mound, working with a drop/drive lower-half into an athletic stride. With a long, loose high ¾ slot, he ran his fastball up to 83 mph, maintaining 80-82 throughout his ‘pen with slight arm-side action. The left-hander then went to a short 1/7 breaking ball at 66-68 mph, occasionally getting on the side of it and creating 2/8 shape, but thrown at fastball arm-speed and looking to pair off his fastball nicely.
Positional Profile: 1B/LHP

Delivery: Smooth, deliberate, full wind up, drop and drive type delivery. Works across body.
