Heesss baacckkk 👏🏻 👏🏻 UNCOMMITTED SOPHOMORE 🚨 LHP - Lewis Slade Made some great mechanical adjustments this week and had his best outing of the fall yesterday 2IP 1 H 1 BB 4 Ks 0 R FB: 90-92 in the 1st / 89-91 T92 in the 2nd SP: 80-83 SL: 77-80 Sky’s the limit 📈

Sophomore INF Jayden Patel (@Cobra_Baseball) has always hit. Hammers this pitch backside for a double. Polished LHH that’s likely to play a huge role for Parkland’s offense this spring. #SCJuco @JaydenPatel23 | @ScoutConnectBB

Rotation is set for the @DingerJUCO Come out and see our guys compete this Friday in Southern IL 💪🏻 Game 1: Friday / 10:00am / @ Oasis Game 2: Friday / 2:00pm / @ John A

Another strong look at sophomore LHP Lewis Slade (@BlueStormBSB). Unique look from the left side, FB sat 90-91, T91.7 mph. Spun SL at 78-79 mph & turned over SPL with depth, 80-83 mph. @LewisSlade4 | @ScoutConnectBB

Sophomore MIF Ryan Colucci (@BlueStormBSB) stayed through the middle of the field in BP, 96.5 mph max EV. Ran a 6.51 60, 85 mph across. @RyanColucci33 | @ScoutConnectBB

Slade had 36 Ks through 28 innings during his freshman season. @LPLancersBB 👤:

SO LHP Lewis Slade (@BlueStormBSB) Smooth mover w/ a 6’2 205lbs frame Slade showed good command w/ his BB today & had good feel to land it in all counts. FB: 87-89 T90 CH: 80-81 CB: 74-75 @PrepBaseballIL || @PB_JUCO || @bestofmwbase

Pitching Rotation for the Puma Classic

Sophomore LHP Lewis Slade (@BlueStormBSB) pitching in the upper-8s, T90 mph in his inning of work. Grabbed some uncomfortable swings on a tumbling SPL at 79-80, also showed mid-70s SL. @LewisSlade4 | @ScoutConnectBB

Sophomore RHP Nate Phillips (@BlueStormBSB) may be one of the GRAC’s top arms this year. Filling up the K zone with a low-90s FB, spinning tight SL off it, 80-81 mph. 56 strikeouts to just 15 BB in 55 2/3 IP last season, 2.91 ERA. @Nate_Phillips27 | @ScoutConnectBB

Sophomore C Connor Roepke (@BlueStormBSB) turns one around for an XBH to LF. @ConnorRoepke | @ScoutConnectBB

Pretty electric stuff from RHP Garrett Polson (@BlueStormBSB) out of the ‘pen in a one inning look. FB sitting 89-92 mph with late life/run. Premium confidence & feel for tight, sharp SL, 75-77 mph. 6-foot-3, 215-pounds. @garrettpolson08 | @ScoutConnectBB

Think sophomore MIF Geo Escandon (@BlueStormBSB) has a chance to be one of the more advanced infield defenders in the IL JUCO scene. Natural actions with clean, athletic patterns. Arm plays true and carries across. Also tripled off the RF wall today. @EscandonGeo

Uncommitted juco sophomore at Kishwaukee Junior college OF RHH Here are some swings from last spring and summer looking for a home next fall @proplayerjoe @KishBaseball

Soph LHP Lewis Slade (@BlueStormBSB; @LewisSlade4) figures to be one of the top left-handed arms in the GRAC. FB sat in the low-90s today. Flashed S/M SPL in the low-80s with upper-70s SL. @MaxPitchingLab | @ScoutConnectBB

Freshman year with @Cobra_Baseball 6’1 190 LBS LHH INF PA-130 GP-40 AVG/OBP/OPS .355/.504/.988 30/17 BB/HBP to Ks 10 XBH Looking for a home for Fall ‘26

Pretty dynamic stuff from incoming JUCO Sophomore Lewis Slade (@BlueStormBSB) Ride/run traits on low-90s FB, peaked on TrackMan at 93.5 mph. Spun CB at 80-81 mph (2536 RPM) with 82-83 mph SPL. One to know heading into the fall. 👀 @MaxPitchingLab | @ScoutConnectBB
