Thank you for everything Coach Allen. Knowing you over the past 5 years you’ve taught me so much not only in baseball but in life. Most importantly, how to be a man. I will forever cherish each moment I spent with you. You changed my life and so many others. Love you forever❤️🀄️

Mark Allen impacted countless student-athletes and people through his baseball journey. The Illinois famILLy was lucky to have him on our staff.

👀Gap Year RS SR Jake Swartz📈

OG #KsFam @JakeSwartzIL has been on a mission all winter long and the results are paying off.

Still early on in his velo phase...Swarty has already bumped up his AVG FB velo from 89 in 2025 to sitting 92-3 in an indoor pen, no spikes, no hitter... Can't wait to see what some sunshine and competitive juices do to that number!

His CH is a bread and butter anytime/anywhere pitch with great shape relative to his FB and a solid Velo Spread. A true separator.

Throw in a nearly 3000 Spin Sweeper at 0/-16" 🤯and a solid downer CB....

You got shapes going 4 directions with a competitor on the bump.

Swarty will be graduating this Semester and will be a grad Transfer w/1 year of eligibility remaining -looking to get his MBA.

He's in the PORTAL RIGHT NOW!
