Today I participated in the @PrepBaseballIL Illinois State Games. It was a great event to showcase my skillsets on the mound. Today I topped at 88mph and was able to get a feel for the splitter and curve around the zone. #bettereveryday https://t.co/902NiRocEw

Another 17u team finishes the year on an impressive run and an impressive season. 17u white finishes the year 26-8 lead by the man @mddangelo9 and @jack_calcagno (‘24 Alum)

Great group with a lot of talented kids still on the board that are gonna find good homes soon!

[Jose Samaniego @Jsamaniego_12]

Thank you @PrimetimeIL! With an end to the 2026 season I’m proud to say I got better. Able to command and attack spots around the zone. Velo is up to 89 and the curveball is working really well alongside my splitter and changeup. Ready to get better!
