Verbally committed to Heartland CC.

Heartland CC commit. Currently ranked No. 69 in the state. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound right-hander gave an upside look on Thursday, working his fastball up to 89 mph while sitting comfortably in the upper 80s. He went to a mid 70s breaking ball that played with 11/5 shape and depth, earning a number of swings and misses. 

Uncommitted. The junior went 6-for-12 (.500) at the plate with seven runs scored and three stolen bases. Against Mt. Carmel, Nagle had multiple stolen bases and helped ignite the offense in the win. 

Week 1: Nagle was named the Week 1 PBR Illinois Pitcher of the Week after he threw five scoreless innings, struck out nine, allowed one hit, and walked two in the 10-0 win over No. 8 Edwardsville.

Uncommitted. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound right-hander has been on the rise as of late, taking home the first PBR Pitcher of the Week award for the 2023 season, and showing well once again on Friday. Nagle toed the rubber against a scrappy Joliet Catholic club and tossed four innings with two earned runs, three hits, six strikeouts and five walks. The right-hander works with a high leg-kick into balance point, dropping with a controlled tempo into an in-line stride. His arm plays with a short circle into a ¾ slot, creating a fastball that sat 86-88 mph, topping out at 89 mph with life through the zone. He threw his 75-76 mph breaking ball with conviction and often, playing with depth and missing barrels frequently. He also flashed a changeup at 81 mph, thrown with fastball intent and hard fading action. On-the-rise right-hander that has seen a significant jump in velocity since the summer.
