I am extremely blessed and excited to announce my verbal commitment to Purdue University. First and foremost I would like to thank God for putting me in the position I am in today I wouldn’t be here without God leading the way for me. I am beyond grateful for my parents pushing me, believing in me, and helping me become a better man, along with my family and friends. I also would like to thank all of my coaches for helping me reach my goals and pushing me to be the best I can be. I want to also thank the Purdue Coaching staff for believing in me and giving me the chance to play baseball at the Division 1 level. With that I am excited for what the future holds for me. Go Boilers! #committed
Ask anybody who’s ever seen CJ play, and they will tell you he is an absolute dawg.
The most mentally tough kid I’ve been fortunate enough to work with.
Switch-hitting catcher with ++ Speed/Base-running/IQ.
Whichever school picks him up will be very lucky to have him.
Really like the upside with RHP Hudson Wesley (Civic Memorial, 2028).
Long levers with plenty of strength to add, FB 84-86 mph, landed a big low-70s BB off it.

Intriguing look here for this 2-way prospect. Low slot AA with some upper half twitch and quick, easy rotation at land.
FB 80-83 T84 (Heavy ASR)
SL 72-73

‘28 Hudson Wesley (IL) is getting the start this morning and is bringing the heat. Seems to be falling under the radar as he’s not ranked but that should change. He’s up to 88 and sitting 84-87. Has a pretty nice CB with late, harsh break. Struck out the side to begin the game. #BCS
Will Vanderheyden (‘28, IL) turned in an impressive performance on the mound today with 13K’s over 5.2 IP. FB at 81-86, CB w/ vertical depth at 68-72 and a straight mid 70’s CH. Definite feel to set up & miss bats. #BCS@PG_Illinois@wvanderheyden12

‘28 | LHP/OF | Chase Zimmerman | Waterloo HS (IL)
Big 6’2, 200 lbs LHP. Effortless delivery and solid 3 pitch mix. Heavy CH usage, works away from RHH’s. Arm that could develop into one of the top LHP in the class❗️
