[Canes Central IL 2029s @CanesCI2029]

And then he put up a .785 ERA and .429 BA w 5 HRs facing the top talent in the Midwest this summer. @RedbirdBaseball is getting a stud 2 way.

[Canes Central IL 2029s @CanesCI2029]

2026 @KSchatsiek2026 (@be_indiansBSB | @NIU_Baseball commit) posts a 108.3 EV with a wood bat at @prepbaseball IL State Games! 👀👀👀

Upside on Schatsiek is huge. The young man lives in the gym and just wait until he adds another 25 lbs to that 6’4” frame over the winter. B2B skills are ridiculous as well!
