Spring League Week 4 Wrap Up

Steve James
Week 4 of the Iowa Spring Wood Bat Scout League provided some exciting moments and match ups of the top players in Iowa.  Saturday's games were very cold and windy (again) with Sunday giving us some warmer temperatures and a little bit of rain to keep things interesting.  Here's some of the top performances from Week 4.

Spencer Van Scoyoc vs Keaton Winn pitching match up
Sunday provided us with a good pitching match up of high end arms in the Purple Haze/Navy Seals game.  Spencer Van Scoyoc (2016 - Jefferson HS) was very sharp for the Purple Haze pitching at 85-88 MPH with his fastball.  He located his fastball well with an outstanding 10/11 first pitch strikes.  Van Scoyoc flashed his normal tight curve ball and threw it for strikes.  He also swung the bat well hammering a deep home run to right field off Winn.  Keaton Winn (2016 - Pekin HS) started the game amped up and was pitching steady at 88-90 MPH touching 91 a couple times.  He wasn't as sharp as he'd like to be in this outing and struggled throwing his curve ball for strikes.  Winn showed a very fast arm action and showed why he's generating interest this spring.  Connor Van Scoyoc (2018 - Jefferson HS) also pitched in the game and showed good arm strength topping out at 88 MPH.  He struck out 7 in 3 innings while allowing 2 hits and 2 earned runs.  

Grant Judkins vs Cam Baumann pitching match up
The other top pitching match up of the weekend was in the Black Magic/Whitecaps game featuring future Iowa teammates Grant Judkins (2016 - Pella HS) and Cam Baumann (2017 - Fairfield HS).  Judkins allowed 2 hits in 3 innings flashing a fastball topping out at 89 MPH.  He struck out 4 while walking 1 allowing no earned runs.  Judkins has a loose quick arm action that projects for more velocity.  Judkins also had a perfect weekend at the plate going 5 for 5 with a double and 2 RBI.   Baumann allowed 2 hits in 3 innings while topping out at 88 MPH.  He struck out 3, walked 1, and allowed no earned runs.  He is an athletic two-way player who has a lot of upside.  

Top Performances Team by Team

Aquasox
Week 4 proved to be a tough weekend for the Aquasox as they went 0-3-1 on the weekend.  Gunnar Bosking (2017 - Washington HS) pitched well for the Aquasox going 2 innings and allowing 1 hit with 2 strikeouts and 2 walks.  He was efficient only throwing 26 pitches in his 2 innings of work.  Zach Bierman (2019 - Western Dubuque HS) pitched 3 innings allowing 1 earned run and struck out 3.  He topped out at 77 MPH on a cold windy day.  The Aquasox struggled to get anything going offensively this weekend collecting just 8 hits on 73 at bats.  Dalton Graven (2016 - Waverly-Shell Rock HS) and Gunnar Bosking each had an extra base hit for the Aquasox.

Blue Crew
The Blue Crew went 1-3 on the weekend and were hampered by 22 walks issued by their pitching staff.  Max Steffens (2016 - Central DeWitt HS) pitched well going 5 innings allowing just 1 earned run while striking out 7 with no walks.  His fastball topped out at 84 MPH and he threw his curveball for strikes.  Steffens had an impressive statistic of throwing 80% strikes!  Andy Whiteman (2017 - Bettendorf HS) had a good weekend going 3 for 8 at the plate with 1 run and 2 RBI.

Grey Wolves 
The Grey Wolves went 1-3 on the weekend with a short squad and competed well.  Brett McCleary (2017 - Iowa City High) pitched 3 innings and allowed 2 hits with no earned runs.  McCleary struck out 7 and walked 2 while topping out at 84 MPH.  He also swung the bat well going 3 for 8 on the weekend with 4 runs and 2 walks.  Evan Paulus (2019 - Newman Catholic HS) pitched 4 innings allowing no hits with 3 strikeouts and a walk.  He threw a lot of strikes and competed well.  Paulus also went 2 for 8 on the weekend with 2 doubles, 2 runs, 1 RBI, and was walked once.  He's a solid young two-way player.  Nick Hofsommer (2017 - Solon HS) hammered a home run off the scoreboard in left field at Waterloo West HS in tough conditions.  He has some bat speed and some strength in his swing.  Caden Kratz (2018 - Newman Catholic HS) pitched 2 innings and allowed no hits while striking out 2.  He was around the plate and threw a lot of strikes.  

Navy Seals
The Navy Seals went 1-3 on the weekend with a short squad.  They swung the bats well and were led by Cole Loeffelbein (2017 - Glenwood HS) who went 4 for 10 on the weekend with 1 run, 3 RBI, and 1 walk.  Javin Drake (2016 - Wilton HS) also swung the bat well going 4 for 10 with a double, 3 runs, and 2 RBI.  Drake also pitched well allowing no earned runs in 3 innings of work while topping out at 83 MPH.  Cole Hassman (2017 - Southeast Polk HS) showed good pop at the plate hammering a home run and a double on the weekend.  Jared Townsend (2019 - Wilton HS) didn't allow a hit in his 2 innings of work while striking out 4.  Evan Reifert (2017 - Wilton HS) showed good velocity again this weekend topping out at 88 MPH.  He struck out 7 in his 4 innings of work but struggled throwing consistent strikes.  When he puts it all together, Reifert has a chance to be a high end arm.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars Gets your reads in now because by the time you reach the end, some of the talent in this article might be giving their commitments to a college somewhere across the country. Every player below did something that caught out scout's eye and should certainly be on the radar for college coaches, if they aren't already.  Braxton Sykes (2028, Brunswick, Ga.) tossed a total of six innings down in Jupiter, collecting six strikeouts while failing to allow either a hit or earned run during his tenure on the mound. The 6-foot-2 right-hander showcased an impressive three-pitch mix with excellent feel to locate in every part of the strike zone. His fastball lived in the mid- to upper-80s mph range with more velocity to project for as Sykes continues to add strength and...
