Top 10 Illinois HS baseball players in Class of 2024
8. Aidan Hayse, RHP, Joliet Catholic
Hayse is a powerful right-handed pitcher who stands at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds and continues to get stronger. That frame has helped produce a strong fastball that consistently reaches the low 90s to pair with a good slider and changeup. His pitching arsenal was on full display this past summer as he competed at the Area Code Games and the Prospect Development Pipeline. Meanwhile, Hayse has also had a terrific prep career that began at Morris High School, where he threw a five-inning no-hitter as a sophomore, before starring for Joliet Catholic last season. A strong spring is in store for Hayse before he heads off to play SEC baseball at Tennessee.
. day two ended with one of my favorite deliveries courtesy Aidan Hayse (). Athletic RHP with some FB carry thru zone; SL got whiffs; promising hard CH thrown to RH, too. A lot to like.
