Scout Stories: Prospect Meadows Recap

Tyler Kotila
Now that that fall has come and gone, and the cold season is well underway, it’s a great time to look back on some of the players who really made some noise across some different categories. These are all players who were out at Prospect Meadows this fall, playing in fall tournaments in Iowa. They’re all players who caught my eye and had some really impressive performances overall on the PG Circuit at Prospect Meadows in Iowa. 

The Standout Hitters:
JD Dix, 2024, Whitefish Bay, Wisc. | College Commitment: Wake Forest
JD Dix is a prospect who showed up and performed well on the circuit at Prospect Meadows this fall. He was smooth up the middle for the Hitters 2024 Grads squad and showed off tools that could see his name getting called next summer in the draft. He’s a switch-hitting middle infielder with a short and fluid stroke from both sides. There’s a feel for the barrel that allows him to connect and find ways on base. Dix has a real athletic 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame that projects with strength. He’s rangy on the dirt with clean footwork to the ball and soft hands working through it. Dix showed off plenty to like this fall, hitting .467 with a .556 OBP at Prospect Meadows. 




Logan Dunn, 2024, Nehskoro, Wisc. | College Commitment: Missouri State
Logan Dunn made the most of his trip to Prospect Meadows with the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team, finding barrel after barrel during the PG Midwest Select Championships, where he hit .750 with a couple of home runs and 8 runs driven in. The Missouri State commit has a clean left-handed stroke, showing the ability to work uphill and drive the ball in the air. Real hitterish actions in the box, excelling as a top-of-the-order bat. It’s an aggressive leg-lift trigger, but he’s on time often, doing some damage. Dunn was solid at Prospect Meadows in my looks this fall.


Reed Strohmeyer, 2025, Dubuque, Iowa | College Commitment: Uncommitted
Another left-handed stick that did some serious damage this fall was uncommitted shortstop Reed Strohmeyer. He played with the Iowa Select 2025 Scout team all fall and consistently got it done. He hit .473 this fall across all his tournaments at Prospect Meadows, with 4 triples to his credit. He’s got a long-levered 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame with room to fill. Strohmeyer ranges well at shortstop and looks the part in the field. At the plate, he does damage from the left side at the top of the order. He starts with slightly open feet and makes an inward move, creating good separation in the swing. He’s got an excellent feel for the barrel and gets it done, churning out good at-bats. After an exceptional fall in Iowa, Strohemyer went down to Florida for WWBA Underclass, where he hit .375 with a .500 OBP, adding a double to his credit as well. He’s an uncommitted prospect with plenty to like, standing out often in his performances this fall. 

Hitters Who Brought the Juice:


Colin Coonradt, 2024, Cedar Falls, Iowa | College Commitment: Iowa
One of the consistent things from this fall was Colin Coonradt hitting a home run and doing damage at the top of the lineup for Iowa Select Scout 2024. He's a 6-foot-1, 195-pound middle infielder who has plenty to like. The Iowa Hawkeyes commit consistently finding the barrel at the top of the order. He has a clean path through the zone, getting to the ball out front and lifting well. He's got a real clean stroke from the left side. He hit .465 during all of his events this fall at Prospect Meadows with 10 extra-base hits, including 4 home runs, all while driving in 14 runs. The Hawkeyes commit got it done this fall, routinely finding ways to get on base, producing hard-hit balls, and showing off the juice. After his exceptionally loud fall in Iowa, he went down to Florida, where he was exceptional for Iowa Select Scout 2024 for WWBA Worlds. He hit .545 with a .615 OBP, adding 3 extra-base hits during his week in Jupiter. 


Milo Kelley, 2025, Davenport, Iowa | College Commitment: Iowa
Another Iowa Hawkeyes commit, Milo Kelley, was able to show off some juice this fall. While he was only in Iowa for one weekend, but he brought out the stick for Iowa Select 2026 Scout during the PG Kernels Foundation Tournament. But his one weekend on the circuit was good, showing off the tools. He had a home run with 6 RBI to his credit as well, doing some damage with the stick. He's a right-handed hitter with a wider stance and a pretty balanced stroke. He works uphill through contact often, having a right-handed stroke that allows him to lift to all fields, especially pull-side. Kelley brought some juice and certainly has the tools to be a hitter who can do damage in the air. The Class of 2025 prospect is someone to keep an eye on next Spring, for sure. He may not have left the yard, but there were a number of times that he was driving balls hard into the gap, doing damage. 


Xavier Perez, 2027, Urbana, Iowa | College Commitment: Iowa
Make it three in a row! Another Iowa Hawkeyes commit, Xavier Perez, showed off the tools that will only continue to develop. The Class of 2027 prospect has a 6-foot, 170-pound frame that projects moving forward. He's able to lift the ball from both sides with a stroke that allows him to get extended through the swing and work on the barrel. He's got a bigger leg lift, shifting his weight onto the backside before making his move to rotate quickly through the zone. Perez can swing it from both sides and is a pretty solid backstop to pair with the prowess in the batters' box. He's got the potential to hit for power & show off some juice moving forward, with plenty of room to continue improving. 

Hitters Who Made a Name for Themselves:


Hudson Dinger, 2026, West Fargo, N.D. | College Commitment: Uncommitted
Hudson Dinger was new to the PG circuit, playing with the Dakota Selects this fall at Prospect Meadows for his second-ever PG event. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound infielder has a bigger build and strength throughout, allowing him to do damage with the stick—the frame projects, with added strength moving forward. Dinger's debut on the circuit was a good one. He hit .333 with a .375 OBP in his debut to the PG circuit, with a 5.0 inning outing on the mound, holding the opposition scoreless punching out 10 opposing hitters. He hit well all fall, showing off good bat-to-ball skills and ability to drive the ball. The strength in the frame is evident, with plenty of hard-hit balls as Dinger finds ways on base. He's an uncommitted North Dakotan prospect who had a bit of a breakout performance this fall.


Enzo Infelise, 2025, New Lenox, Ill. | College Commitment: Oklahoma
Enzo Infelise came out to Prospect Meadows and performed phenomenally with the Cangelosi Sparks squad as they tuned up for a trip down south to Jupiter. He's a former PG Junior National player, so it's not that he totally "made a name" for himself, but he made a name for himself at Prospect Meadows during the PG Kernels event, where he hit .778 with a .867 OBP. The Sooners' commit was finding barrel after barrel after barrel. Infelise has a ton of strength in a well-proportioned 6-foot-2, 205-pound build. He's patient, sits on his pitches, and does damage when he gets the pitch. It's a plus-hit tool with power potential that continues to improve. If the loud tools in the box were not exciting enough, his abilities behind the dish were just as exciting. He had a cannon of an arm with great carry on his throws that allowed him to gun down several runners on the weekend. There's plenty to like about Infelise's abilities behind the plate as a backstop. 


Kelvin Jones Jr., 2025, Chicago, Ill. | College Commitment: Uncommitted
Kelvin Jones Jr. was one of the best bats I saw all fall, hands down. He's an uncommitted 2025 prospect who gets it done in the batters' box. He's listed as a 1B/OF with the tools to hold down an outfield position. He patrolled RF often for Iowa Select Scout 2024 this fall and has the athleticism and speed to play center. He's got a 5-foot-10, 170-pound build with strength and athleticism. Jones Jr. swings it from the left side with an uber-clean operation. He has a ton of bat speed, quick hands through the zone, and the ability to do damage. He worked some at-bats well and can often do damage working pull-side, but he can utilize the whole field. Jones Jr. turns hard, and pairing that with the bat speed it is a recipe for hard-hit barrels. 

The Next Wave (2028s to watch):


Abram Decena, 2028, Centerville, Iowa 
Someone to keep an eye on moving forward is Abram Decena. There’s a lot to like about Decena’s operation in the batters’ box, with traits that project a ton. He’s got a 5-foot-10, 170-pound build with a projectable frame. Decena has a real smooth left-handed stroke, utilizing some strength to impact it well. He starts upright, sinks into his load, and then turns hard through contact with quickness as he rotates through it. Decena hit 6-for-12 in one of my looks this fall, showing off the tools and being a standout bat from the 14U Division. There’s plenty to like with Decena, who has a bright future.


Dayne Franks, 2028, Orion, Ill.
Another 2028 prospect to keep an eye on is Dayne Franks. The left-handed bat has a simple stroke that projects well moving forward. He hit .478 during his three PG tournaments at Prospect Meadows this fall, getting the job done in the box. He loads deep and rotates well, being able to get on plane with pitches and leverage quite well. It’s a swing that projects well moving forward and bodes well moving forward. He’s an athletic mover overall and has traits that make me think he is someone to keep an eye on.


Cade Hannen, 2028, Robins, Iowa
A two-way player to watch moving forward is Cade Hannen. He hit .310 across events at Prospect Meadows this fall. He was able to get the job done at the plate and on the mound, showing traits to like. Hannen has developing traits on the mound, and as a hitter, he showed off some great swings this fall. Hannen stays short to the ball and can work quickly through the zone to get the barrel on the ball. On top of that, he has an uber projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame. Keep an eye on Hannen moving forward, on both sides of the ball, as he looks to continue to take strides in his development. 

Arms Who Popped the Mitt:


Robert Barrera, 2024, Franksville, Wisc. | College Commitment: UIC
Robert Barrera was one of the arms I saw a couple of times this fall who popped the mitt. The UIC commit threw for Hitters 2024 Grads for two different starts. In total, he threw seven innings for Hitters, being able to bring some heat from the left side. He worked the upper-80s on his fastball. The pitch plays up in the zone and can get hitters to swing and miss in the upper third. On top of that, he's got a 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame with some strength to it. It's easy to project on, thinking there might be more velo in the tank down the line. On top of the fastball, Barrera attacks hitters with a depthy changeup in the mid- to upper-70s. He also has a bigger curveball with a big 12-6/1-7 shape, creating good depth. Barrera had a solid three-pitch mix when I saw him on the mound.


Trever Baumler, 2024, Urbandale, Iowa | College Commitment: TCU
Trever Baumler threw on the PG Iowa circuit a couple of times this fall, finding some success in doing so while bringing the heat. The TCU commit logged 5.0 innings, allowing 4 hits, walking 3, striking out 9, and allowing no runs over two appearances on the mound in Iowa. This came before going to Florida for Jupiter, where he threw 2.0 innings of scoreless ball, allowing no hits, walking 1, and striking out 3 opposing hitters. Baumler is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with athletic movements. The fastball was up to 93 mph this fall and had good spin up above the 2,300 RPM mark. He pairs it with a depthy breaking ball and fading changeup to round out the three-pitch mix. Baumler brings the heat on the mound but can also swing it a bit. He hit .364 this fall at the dish while at Prospect Meadows for PG Iowa tournaments.


Creighton Tuzzio, 2025, Clarinda, Iowa | College Commitment: Iowa Western CC
Another arm who stood out on the circuit at Prospect Meadows this fall was Creighton Tuzzio. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound right-hander has a massive frame with strength in the build that shows in his move down the slope. Tuzzio popped the mitt this fall, working up to 89 mph and being a consistent upper-80s arm for Iowa Select Scout 2024. The Iowa Western Reivers commit has plenty to like with his operation on the mound. The heater is in the upper-80s with arm-side life and some downward tilt working from a more three-quarters slot. It’s a deceptive look for hitters. He has an 11-5 shaped breaker to pair that allows him to toy with hitters and find success. Tuzzio logged a bunch of outings this fall, being able to miss some bats and settle in well on the bump overall. 

Arms Who Have Some Moxie on the Bump:

Brayden Alivo, 2026, Franklin, Wisc. | College Commitment: Uncommitted
Brayden Alivo is a two-way prospect who shined this fall. He played up in the 18U Division every time Prospect Training Academy was in town, alongside his brother Kyle. The Class of 2026 prospect has plenty to like on both sides of the ball, but he pitches with some moxie, being a high-energy arm on the mound. He's got a three-pitch mix that he fills up the zone with. It's an athletic 5-foot-10, 150-pound frame with room to keep filling out. He's one of those high-energy arms. He will come off the mound after a big strikeout with some energy and just be a quick mover overall, wanting the ball back to make his next pitch. Alivo's outing were fun to watch, as he would mess with hitters timing with a hitch in the leg lift followed by a shortened stride, doing whatever he could to keep hitters off-balance. While Alivo's energy on the mound was impressive, he's a two-way prospect with plenty to like at the dish. He's got quick hands and a short path to contact. Keep an eye on Alivo moving forward.


Max Kaplan, 2024, Glencoe, Ill. | College Commitment USC-Upstate
Max Kaplan delivered one of the more exciting outings on the mound this fall. He took the ball for the Cangelosi Sparks during the PG Kernels Foundation Tournament, helping them go on their run to the championship. The USC-Upstate commit threw 5.0 innings, allowing 2 hits, walking 3, and striking out 9 opposing hitters. He held the opposition to no runs and threw with some moxie on the bump. He's got some energy and is a high-octane left-hander. He works the low-80s on the heater with some arm-side run, showing a depthy mid-70s changeup and a slider with a healthy 2-7 shape to it. He uses the three-pitch mix effectively and works really quickly on the mound. He's got a bulldog mound presence and showed that during his start for the Cangelosi Sparks at Prospect Meadows.


Cole Ruggeri, 2027, Naperville, Ill. | College Commitment: Mizzou
Cole Ruggeri is another two-way prospect with plenty to like about him moving forward. The Mizzou commit shines on both sides of the ball, but he pieced together a loud outing on the mound this fall for the Cangelosi Sparks-Eydenberg squad. Ruggeri has a 6-foot-1, 160-pound frame with long levers and strength in the build. He moves well on the mound, with good extension working downhill. The fastball gets up into the mid-80s with tons of arm-side run and sink to it. He has a sweeper slider in the mix as well in the low-70s. Ruggeri pitches with an "attack" mentality. He gets the ball back and works to make his next pitch, throwing with conviction. He's one of the arms this fall who threw with some moxie. 

Arms Who Showed off Great Stuff:


Joseph Broughton, 2024, Northville, Mich. | College Commitment: Pitt
Perhaps one of the arms who took the biggest leaps in 2023 is Joseph Broughton. The left-hander was exceptional all year, which continued in my looks this fall. Broughton's a 6-foot-2, 200-pound southpaw who can get up into the low-90s on the heater with a high-IVB profile. On top of that, Broughton is a strike thrower. While the velocity is there and continues to project, the Pitt Commit has a three-pitch mix with great stuff overall. The breaker is bigger, showing a healthy 2-7 shape that can get some more hump in it being a 1-7 pitch. It can be slurvy, but he lands it for strikes with ease. On top of that, he's got a healthy changeup that he turns over quite well. Broughton can mix pitches and throw strikes, helping him churn out quality outings. Broughton threw 4.0 innings with 3 hits, 7 punchouts, and no walks issued. He also held the opposition scoreless—plenty to like from the Michigan native.  


Andrew Hamlett, 2024, Cedar Rapids, Iowa | College Commitment: Southeastern CC
If there was one thing you could count on this fall at Prospect Meadows, Andrew Hamlett would deliver a clean outing. Hamlett's got a 5-foot-11, 165-pound frame with a lean build and length throughout. He moves well down the mound and works from a three-quarters to high-three-quarters arm slot. The fastball works the low-80s and has been up to 85 mph with late life through the zone. He tunnels the slider well on the same plane with a good sweep working more 2-7. He rounds things out with a changeup that he can spot up arm-side well. Hamlett's bread-and-butter is throwing trikes and commanding the zone. He throws a ton of strikes and is often able to churn out good outings. This fall, he made 5 starts, totaling 22.0 innings, allowing 11 hits, walking just 2, and striking out 42 opposing hitters. He allowed just 2 earned runs all fall, managing an 0.82 ERA and 0.60 WHIP. Hamlett was a workhorse this fall for the Iowa Select Scout 2024 squad.


Carter Wilcox, 2025, Aurora, Colo. | College Commitment: Iowa
One of my favorite outings this fall came from Carter Wilcox, who grabbed my attention when he ripped off 2,700+ RPM breakers in warm-ups. The Colorado native took the mound against another top-tier arm and shoved in a shut-out performance, striking out 8 opposing hitters over 5 and 2/3 innings of work. The Hawkeyes commit works from the left side on a lower arm slot that has funk to it. He worked up to 86 mph on the fastball and held the mid-80s with spin up above the 2,300 RPM mark. From the funky slot, the heater generates running life. Pair that with his sweeper, and it makes for a deadly combination. The sweeper was in the upper-60s with spin up above the 2,800 RPM mark often. It's got a lengthy break to it as well. On top of that, He has a changeup that he pronates well in the mid-70s with arm-side sink to it. Wilcox's arsenal is a fun one, paired with a lean and slender build and funky slot. Wilcox was one of the most fun arms I saw on the circuit at Prospect Meadows this fall. 

Players Who Made the Most Noise:


Kyle Alivo, 2024, Franklin, Wisc. | College Commitment: Iowa
I already hit on his brother above, Brayden, but older brother Kyle Alivo was another player who was quite loud with his performance this fall. The Iowa Hawkeyes commit handles the stick exceptionally well and can get on the mound as necessary. Alivo has an uber-athletic 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame with a lean build. He’s quick through the zone with lightning-fast hands and bat speed to get on plane with pitches and do damage. He’s got an innate feel for the barrel. Alivo hit .382 for Prospects Training Academy this fall at Prospect Meadows, churning out hits, including a couple of extra-base hits. Similar to his brother, he’s a high-energy pitcher on the mound. He’s got a fast arm that was up to 91 mph this fall. Has a more lateral slider and harder changeup in the mix. Alivo made some noise with his success at Prospect Meadows this fall. 


Cody Freitas, 2025, Bourbonnais, Ill. | College Commitment: Arizona
Cody Freitas is another two-way prospect who was mightily impressive this fall at Prospect Meadows. Frietas came to town with the Prospects Xposure squad and was able to get it done on both sides of the ball. The Arizona Wildcats commit showed off the arm on the mound, working up to 90 mph on the fastball. He’s got a fast arm and a nice short 12-6 breaker to pair in the upper-70s. He can swing it a bit too, showing off tools at the plate with a quick stroke and the ability to lift. Freitas is able to connect with pitches and lift the ball well. 


Garrett Luett, 2026, Council Bluffs, Iowa | College Commitment: Iowa
One of the prospects who has impressed me the most this fall was Garrett Luett. He had tools that shine on both sides of the ball, making him an exceptional asset to the Iowa Select Scout 2026 squad. Luett is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound left-handed bat with good strength in the frame. It's a well-proportioned build with good strength in the lower half that he uses well as part of the swing. He turns hard through contact and can drive the ball exceptionally well. With bat speed and strength to pair, he gets it done. He hit .550 on the circuit at Prospect Meadows this fall with a double and 6 RBI to his credit. On top of that, Luett can jump on the mound and get the job done, too. He can work into the low-80s on the fastball with a full three-pitch mix. The changeup was in the mid-70s with good tumble, and the curveball has a bigger 11/5 shape to it. 

Prospect Meadows x PG Draft - Players Who Boosted Their Draft Stock:


Tyler Bell, 2024, Frankfort, Ill. | College Commitment: Kentucky
One of the players who showed off these tools this fall was Tyler Bell. The switch-hitting shortstop is on our PG Draft Board, and he was able to show off the tools. It’s a really simple and fluid operation from both sides of the plate. Bell works counts well and can stay balanced in his operation with a shorter path to the ball to drive it well. The Kentucky commit has a 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame with a nice balance of strength and athleticism. Bell has strength across the diamond, and the carrying tool is the polished hit- tool. I really liked the operation in the batters’ box this fall, and he’s someone who could creep up the draft board next spring.


Tyler Guerin, 2024, Shoreview, Minn. | College Commitment: Iowa
Tyler Guerin may not be on the Top 200 Draft Board, but he will undoubtedly crack the board in the next update. But his fall performance at Prospect Meadows was absolutely phenomenal. Guerin is a 6-foot-7, 205-pound right-handed pitcher with long levers and a projectable frame. The Iowa Hawkeyes commit got it done on the mound and has the traits to continue improving. He has a fluid operation down the slope from a higher slot, being able to create some angle working downhill. The fastball has been up to 92 mph, and there may be more in the tank with room to keep climbing. Guerin throws strikes with a frisbee slider that allows him to miss bats and throw a ton of strikes. Guerin has a lot of traits to like when it comes to his abilities on the mound. The right-hander could very much so move up the draft board with continued improvements this Spring.


Collin Mowry, 2024, Mokena, Ill. | College Commitment: Louisville
What might have been the loudest performance of the fall at Prospect Meadows, which continued on in Jupiter, was Cangelosi Sparks backstop, Collin Mowry. He was downright dominant at the plate, leaving the yard aplenty and finding ways to work on the barrel time and time again. The Louisville commit has a smooth stroke with the strength to impact and lift it all over the field. There's a ton of thump off the barrel. He uses his strength well to get the barrel out front and do damage. At the PG Kernels event in Iowa, Mowry hit .385 with a .556 OBP, managing 2 doubles and 2 home runs, driving in 8 runs. He was exceptional in his performance for the Cangelosi Sparks there, and he continued to have success when the team went down to Jupiter. Mowry hit .500 with 2 doubles, a triple, and 2 home runs, driving in 8 runs. Mowry's exceptional fall put him on the map a bit more than he was, and a big spring could see his draft stock jump even further.

Asher Contreras (2030 | Las Vegas, NV) The 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitter and outfielder was one of the most dangerous hitters in the tournament for Wow Factor Nv 2030, stuffing the stat sheet while displaying an impressive combination of power and speed. He finished the weekend with 9 hits, including two doubles and a home run, while driving in seven runs and scoring five more. He also swiped three bases and worked three walks, consistently putting pressure on opposing defenses while showing feel for the zone with just one strikeout all weekend.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop.

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk. '27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch. Really seeing ing well. #WWBA @Florida_PG https://t.co/OjNJ8Bmzao pic.twitter.com/WoDDp35EI1 — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 30, 2026 Moises Gudino (2027, Tampa, Fla.)...
