Fall Instructional Week 1 Recap

BJ Fish     
The first weekend of the Iowa Fall Instructional League is in the books! It was a very humid and warm weekend, but kids went above and beyond with their effort to improve. We would like to first and foremost thank Coach Justin Schulte, Asst Coach McVey and the entire staff at Southeastern Community College for a wonderful weekend hosting our fall league and camp. We were all very blown away at the level of instruction the coaching staff provided for our players. Southeastern's coaches came away very impressed with the player's willingness to listen to advice and get better. There were some very good performances week #1 both offensively and defensively as we recap some of the week's better performances below.

Stanton Shines

Maxx Stanton (2019 LHP, Saydel HS) impressed as a two way player this weekend. On the mound, Stanton sat 79-82 on his fastball while flashing a loopy, late breaking curveball that sat 69-72. He also seemed to have good feel on a third pitch, throwing a change in the mid 70's if he needed a strike. In his 3 innings of work, Stanton struck out 5 batters and walked 3. Offensively, Stanton was 2-2 on the day, including a line double while walking twice.

Turner Dazzles Defensively

Luke Turner (2020 SS, Washington, IA HS) was a standout all weekend defensively. He showcases smooth athletic motions at SS and made at least a half dozen really solid plays on the weekend. The one that stood out was a throw on the run on a bleeder up the middle in game 1 that turned heads of Southeastern's coaches. He also showed some promise offensively with a laced double to right center in game 1.

Jacobson Throws  2 1/3 Hitless Innings

Zach Jacobson (2020 RHP, East Marshall HS) sat 77-79 on his fastball this weekend. Listed at 5 ft 11", however, his lanky build made it seem like he was taller and threw even harder. He did a very good job at hitting his spots and throwing strikes. He is very projectable as a pitcher as velocity increases. On the day, he threw 2 1/3 innings and struck out 3 without surrendering a hit.

Maloney Has Loud First Week

Griffin Maloney (2021 OF, Xavier HS) really stood out in the 2021 class this first weekend shining with his bat. The major highlight being a bases clearing double to right center field. On that play he tried to advance home after a throwing error and was called out at home to end the inning. On the weekend, Maloney had a 2/3 stat line.

Dewitte A Singles Machine

Calvin Dewitte (2021 OF, Dowling Catholic HS) kept getting on base all weekend by knocking singles across the field. He was 4 of 5 on the day but surprisingly was unable to pick up any RBI.

Parson Shows Defensive Tools

One of the younger players in the event, Kael Parson (2022 SS, Northeast Goose Lake HS) showed good range and defensive actions. On a play in the first game with Parson playing second base he made a beautiful backhanded stop while running up the middle and made a bead of a throw across his body to get the out at first. This was very impressive for a player at his age and impressed those in attendance.

Cornell and Hamor Pick Up Timely Hits

Quin Cornell (2021 C, Vinton-Shellsburg HS) and Wesley Hamor (2021 C, East Marshall HS) both looked very impressive both behind the dish and at the plate. Both players picked up timely hits (2 RBI each) to drive in runs for the Blue Devils.
