Lanky 6'2" RHP with 89 MPH Max Velocity and 65 Ks in 32 IP
Braxdon Decker, Eastern Illinois' 6'2", 165-lb right-handed pitcher, stands out with an 89 MPH max velocity (ranked No. 86 in Illinois' junior class) and a dominant 65-strikeout, 32-inning high school performance in 2024, including just 5 earned runs and a .157 batting average against. His long, lanky frame and multi-sport background fuel a high-intensity, data-driven approach that translates to consistent pressure on hitters. Though no college stats are yet available, his intensity, clean injury history, and elite velocity make him a high-upside fit for teams seeking a developing RHP with pro-ready tools and a competitive mindset.
