Reece Karalus is a 2012 RHP with a 6-3 230 lb. frame from North Bend, WA who attends Mt Si HS. Extra strong build, especially in the lower half, carries his weight pretty well. Back turn delivery with low hands, full smooth arm action, low effort thrower, uses strong lower 1/2 well, will shorten arm stroke at times, inconsistent release between high 3/4's and 3/4's. Steady upper 80's fastball, touched 90 mph, mostly straight with occasional run, changes arm slot between curveball and slider (or hard and soft curveballs), drops release on harder pitch, some spin but will need consistency. Maintains arm speed on change up and gets some arm side run. Potential to keep improving on the mound. College level hitting tools, strong swing with LCF power, makes hard contact, uppercut swing plane, calm hitting approach, will lose some balls. Good student, signed with Santa Clara.

Reece Karalus is a 2012 RHP/1B with a 6-3 235 lb. frame from North Bend, WA who attends Mt Si HS. Extra large build, especially in the lower half, young face, loose and flexible for his size. Back turn delivery, gets lower 1/2 open well, loose strong arm, varies arm slot unintentionally, throws better from higher slot, also throws harder from the stretch. Consistent upper 80's fastball, topped out at 89 mph, hard arm side running action when on top of the ball, up and flat at lower angles. Short curveball with slider type shape, needs more size or a true power slider, flashes spin at times. Occasional change up, primary fastball pitcher. Potential power arm who should add velocity with consistent mechanics. Good student.

Reece Karalus is a 2012 RHP/C, 1B, 3B with a 6-2 225 lb. frame from North Bend, WA who attends Mt Si. Karalus has a big and durable build with developing strength. Slower paced delivery with good mechanics. Hands start low, good balance, medium leg kick, gets good drive off his back leg and his arm work fast from a high 3/4 release point. Lands balanced and in good fielding position. Curveball is an 11-5 breaker that he throws for strikes, shows the ability to spin the ball. Pitches down in the zone and to contact, works quickly. Good target at first base and moves well to field. Spread stance at the plate with a long stride. Good hip turn and use of lower half in swing, shows pop and is a projectable offensive player. Good student.
