Batting Practice Highlights

8/3/2024

Dominic Stottler (2026 SS, Hampton, IL) swings a heavy barrel and looks to work back up the middle of the field.  He has the power capability to drive the ball deep to the pull side, as he demonstrated during his round with a loud home run.

Grayson Kirsch (2025 OF, Marion, IA) has quick hands through the zone and does a nice job of getting on plane early and staying through the baseball.  He is able to consistently impact the baseball and stays short to contact.

Gavin Wesling (2025 3B, Clinton, WI) uses a loose swing at the plate that creates tons of barrel whip through the zone.  He has an easy swing and is able to leverage balls into the gap with ease.

Oscar Diez (2026 C, Prairie Village, KS) keeps it simple at the plate and loads into his back hip well before utilizing the strength in his lower half to drive the baseball.  He showed plenty of power when he is timed up and working out in front of the plate.

Quinn Scott (2026 1B, Hampton, IL) is a strong athlete that creates tons of separation and is able to generate nice backspin on his drives to the pull side of the field.  He can create the power easily and consistently thanks to his lower half engagement.

Grayson Veenendall (2026 C, Lacrosse, WI) has fast hands through the zone and does a nice job of staying flatter through the zone, not looking to do too much with what is given to him.  He makes consistent, line drive contact and hits the ball hard to all parts of the field.

Isaac Bruhl (2025 SS, Ankeny, IA) is a switch hitter who shows promise from both sides of the plate.  He has a fluid swing and does a nice job of staying connected, allowing him to maximize his frame.  He showed the ability to carry the ball into the gaps with a long drive off the top of the fence.

Ryan Thompson Jr. (2026 C, Bellevue, NE) has tons of potential at the plate, swinging a quick bat that generates easy power.  He does a nice job of being on time and letting the ball travel into the hitting zone before crushing it to the appropriate field.

Adam Bovinett (2025 1B, Caseyville, IL) swings the bat with intent at the plate, looking to do big time damage to the pull side to the field.  He does a nice job of getting the barrel head out in front of the plate and creates carry on his drives to the pull side.

Tyler Carlson (2027 OF, Savage, MN) is an athletic player that allows that athleticism to play at the plate.  He has a simple swing and an advanced feel for the barrel, making loud contact throughout his legs.  He drives his lower half well, allowing him to generate easy power.

Colton Duerling (2025 SS, Cedar Rapids, IA) has a tall frame with long levers that he uses to get extended and drive the baseball to the pull side of the field.  He does a nice job of loading early and being on time with the barrel, allowing the ball to travel into the hitting zone.

Brett Harris (2026 C, Peosta, IA) is a strong athlete that swings a heavy barrel from the left side of the plate.  He doesn't stride but is still able to generate power with his hips and gets his weight through his swing, making consistently loud contact.

Chase Maika (2025 OF, Kenosha, WI) looks to attack the middle of the field, driving the ball hard there throughout his round.  He is consistently on the barrel and can do damage to any pitch left over the middle of the plate.

Tanner Kahn (2025 3B, Stillwater, MN) has powerful frame and a smooth swing that he pairs with quick hands.  He showed the ability to drive the ball to the pull side as well as leveraging it into the opposite field gap.  This approach will benefit him well in games as he has the ability to cover the entire plate.


3-Gold vs 4-Green Game Highlights

8/3/2024

James Perkins (2025 LHP, Cedar Rapids, IA) put together a quality start for the Gold team, tallying five strikeouts and just two hits in three innings of work. There is a ton to dream on in the 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame, and he was up to 81 mph from the left side. He flashed a true 12-6 curveball, and he is an interesting prospect with big upside.

Mason Robertson (2027 LHP, Oak Creek, WI) is a talented young prospect who showed a lot to like on the mound in this one. He gave hitters fits at the plate, striking out six opposing batters and allowing just one hit in three innings. He was up to 82 mph from the left side and came from a tough, side-arm slot. He mixed in a nasty, big sweeping slider (2337 spin rate) and even flashed a solid splitter (1015 spin rate) that garnered swing and miss. He also collected a hard hit single to the opposite field on the day.

Ashtyn Seifert (2027 RHP, Beaver Dam, WI) made some of the loudest contact of the day, getting his hands through on an inside fastball with two strikes and sending a rope to left-centerfield for a big, RBI double. It was a great piece of hitting, and Seifert showed a simple and smooth swing with quick hands.

Logan Thill (2026 RHP, Clinton, WI) cruised through his three innings of work on the mound, striking out three opposing batters and inducing weak contact. He worked efficiently and quickly, with a fastball up to 80 mph and a solid 3-pitch offsped arsenal. He mixed locations and speeds well and kept the opposition off balance.

Ben Harting (2025 RHP, Loveland, CO) got the Green team started off on the right foot with his outing, going three strong innings with five strikeouts and not a single hit allowed. The right-hander has a solid reliever profile. He was up to 85 mph and mixed in a hard-biting slider at 2200+ RPMs. He has the arm speed and the stuff to get swing and miss at the next level. 

Jaren Lauver (2025 RHP, Grundy Center, IA) raised some eyebrows with his performance on the mound, running his fastball up to 87 mph and collecting three strikeouts in three innings. The right-hander is a smooth mover down the mound and showed great feel for his curveball, landing it for strikes consistently and garnering plenty of swing and miss. 


1-Black vs. 2-Columbia Blue Game Highlights

8/3/2024

Dominic Stottler (2026 SS, Hampton, IL) stayed through a hanging breaking ball and drilled it deep to the pull side over the left fielder’s head.  He did a nice job of keeping his weight back and getting through the zone with his barrel, showing off his strong hands.  He capped the day off with a solid 2 RBI single, finishing the day with a pair of hits.

Grayson Kirsch (2025 OF, Marion, IA) showed nice patience in his first at bat today, waiting on a good pitch to hit before sending it back up the middle for a base hit.  Kirsch showed nice barrel control, keeping his hands inside an inside pitch and landed a solid knock.

Alex Buresh (2026 OF, Omaha, NE) did a nice job of staying through an outer half fastball and drilling it for a base knock.  He stays on balance at the plate and features good tempo with the ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field.

Cameron Delahoussaye (2027 RHP, Naperville, IL) has big time talent on the mound with tons of potential as a power arm.  He has a tall frame with lanky limbs and really drives through the baseball well in his pitching motion.  He creates tons of spin that allows his 87-mph fastball to stay on plane.  He pairs this with a plus, 12-6 curveball that he showed the ability to land in the zone.  He also flashed a change up with nice fade to complete the 3-pitch mix.  He also showed the ability to handle the bat, sending a hard ground ball back up the middle for a single in his last at bat.

Johnny Andretich (2026 OF, Plainfield, IL) battled at the plate in his second chance today, showing nice resilience after a 12-pitch at bat resulted in a sharp double into the opposite field gap.  The lefty hitter stays composed at the plate and takes what that pitcher gives him, driving the ball wherever it is pitched.

Grady Frese (2026 SS, Norway, IA) has a short, quick swing at the plate that allows him to let the ball travel deep into the hitting zone before getting the barrel to it.  He showed this ability at the plate today, letting a low and outside fastball get deep before sending a hard base hit to right field for a lead off single.  He repeats his swing well and finds the barrel consistently.

Brody Strahm (2026 2B, West Fargo, ND) put his impressive barrel control on display on his second at bat, roping a pitch at the bottom of the zone through a hole in the defense.  He stayed back on the ball and let it travel before crushing the line drive.  His balance during his swing allows him to cover the entire plate.

Gavin Wesling (2025 3B, Clinton, WI) swings a heavy barrel at the plate and has the ability to leverage the ball deep into the gap.  He was timed up well in his second at bat, launching an RBI double deep over the center fielders head that just narrowly missed being a home run.  He has tons of confidence and knows what pitch he wants to hit.

Oscar Diez (2026 C, Prairie Village, KS) loads early at the plate which allows him to be consistently on time and get the barrel head out in front of the plate.  This worked to his advantage as he climbed the ladder and got on top of a high fastball in his last at bat, sending it down the left field line for a sure double.
