Uncommitted. The southpaw dominated over his seven innings of work, not allowing a single run on five hits, striking out eight. Newman worked his fastball up to 82 mph and paired off a 1/7 breaking ball in the low 70s.

A Southpaw to make note of is LHP Danny Newman (Wauconda). Newman worked his fastball up to 83 mph, sitting 81-82 mph life through the zone and to his arm-side. His best secondary offering looked to be a sharp 1/7 breaking ball at 70-72 mph - pairing with a tight 2/8 cutter at 76-78 mph (T2453 RPM). His final offering was a fading changeup at 76 mph.

Sharp, late 1/7 break with depth and feel for the zone. T1965, 1886 average rpm. CH: 76-76 mph. Thrown with intent, fades to the arm-side. T1765, 1719 average rpm. CUT: 76-78 mph. Short lateral break.

As only a rising junior, LHP Danny Newman (Wauconda, 2024) showed impressive control over five pitches throughout his pen. The southpaw controls his body well, repeating with ease and striding slightly across his body. His fastball sat in the 73-76 mph range, sinking through the zone to his arm-side. He then went to a cutter at 70-72 mph that worked off a short 2/8 plane with horizontal cutting action, thrown for strikes. Moving on to his breaking balls, Newman showed to have feel for both a 1/7 curveball at 65-66 mph and 2/8 slider at 67-69 mph, landing both for strikes. His final offering was a fading changeup at 65-67 mph.
