I’m beyond grateful for my time at Villanova University. After sustaining a season-ending injury at the start of the season in 2026, I have entered the transfer portal as a sixth year, graduate student.

I will be playing for the Royal Oak Leprechauns in the Northwoods League this summer, and I have more video upon request.

Great kid— besides the on-field talent, would be a good fit at a school looking for work ethic and leadership.

Things you love to see

[Travis Fitta @TravisFitta]

Always good having some OGs come back in the summer.

Summer #2 for @patrickil28 and it didn’t disappoint.

Now. We. Go.

[Justin Sartori @Justin_Sartori]

Always a pleasure to have @patrickil28 in the building

Great player. Great for the culture

[Patrick Ilitch @patrickil28]

Enjoyed my time training @DrivelineBB’s Tampa facility. Set the facility record in the ISO Mid Thigh Pull and PR’d in exit velo. Can’t wait to get back! @TravisFitta @Justin_Sartori @tykoz15

[Justin Sartori @Justin_Sartori]

All of this connects back to the original thread:

Pat’s goal here isn’t just to swing steeper—it’s to build a bat path that lets him lift the ball to the pull side, while still having enough margin for error to square it up consistently.

7/8

[Justin Sartori @Justin_Sartori]

In Pat’s case, we’re working on stacking more hip hinge and forward bend early to set up a steeper path…

Then using side bend later in the swing to stay on plane and avoid missing under or over the ball.

6/8

[Justin Sartori @Justin_Sartori]

@patrickil28 bombs coming to Villanova next year👀

[Travis Fitta @TravisFitta]

Congratulations my man! @patrickil28

This year is going to be fun.
