Iowa Spring League Notebook: No. 4

Tyler Kotila
PG Iowa Spring League Notebook: No. 1 | No. 2 | No. 3

Ryley Lawler (2026, Dubuque, Iowa) put together a really good weekend at the dish, finding barrels and picking up hits left and right. The left-handed hitter added a handful of hits, including a few doubles, showing good feel to impact and an ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field. He has a really short and compact stroke that allows him to stay through the zone well and impact it with a short-to-it, long-through-it approach. Lawler made some noise this past weekend and really found ways to do damage for his team at the plate.



Drake Obermueller (2025, Iowa City, Iowa) worked the low- to mid-80s on the fastball in his outing on Friday, pounding the zone and filling it up with strikes. The pitch showed some late life to it. He held 80-83 mph for the most part. He flashed a sweeper working 69-72 mph with spin above 2,100 RPMs. Also showed feel for a changeup, though it was primarily a fastball/sweeper attack. He has a lean and projectable frame with a slender look and a loose arm action. He replicates it well and shows an innate feel to spin the breaker. The DMACC commit has been a consistent performer this spring. He also got it done at the plate, picking up a home run on Friday, turning hard and showing some present strength to hammer one that got out in a hurry.

Maddux Mueller (2026, Amana, Iowa) continues to be one of the top performers this spring, and he has really emerged as a top-tier uncommitted talent. Mueller put together some good swings on the weekend, including a home run hit on Friday, turning on one and driving it to RF, leaving the yard on a pull-side bomb. Also picked up the walk-off win on Saturday, sending his team to victory, with a hard-hit base knock. This came after giving his team 4.0 solid innings on the mound, working up to 80-84 mph on the fastball. He showed the upper-60s curveball into the low-70s. He flashed the curveball the most I’ve seen in any of my looks, and was able to land it for strikes and induce the swing-and-miss. Really impressive stuff from the two-way standout who has been impressive on both sides of the ball this spring.

Cayden Weaver (2025, Davenport, Iowa) has a wider base in his right-handed stance, with a compact and lean frame. He throws the barrel well with a smooth stroke, staying short to it with feel to extend through contact and do damage. Weaver has hit well this spring, picking up plenty of hits along the way, being able to work on the barrel, and producing some well-struck barrels. He has a couple of doubles to his credit as well. Weaver also put together a really good outing on the mound for his team on Saturday. He threw 5.0 innings of shut-out ball, navigating around 6 hits, with 4 punchouts, while not allowing a walk at all. He worked the mid- to upper-70s on the fastball and flipped a mid-60s curveball as well, finding ways to keep the opposition off-balance. Weaver is uncommitted.

Elijah Scott (2027, Marion, Iowa) continues to be one of the best bats at PG Iowa Spring League. Feels like beating a dead horse to say it again, but weekend after weekend, he finds ways to get on base and tally hit after hit, after hit. He added 5 more hits over his two games Saturday. He added a double and triple, being an exceptional table-setter at the top of the order. Scott is uber-athletic and projects really well moving forward. He’s consistently on the barrel with good length through the swing. It’s a quality move through contact with a smooth right-handed stroke. Scott’s certainly someone to keep eyes on through the summer. Scott is uncommitted.

Older brother Isaiah Scott (2026, Marion, Iowa) is in the same boat. Scott continues to be one of the best bats, and he consistently has hit well. He added several more hits to his credit this weekend and was able to show off an uber athletic operation in the box once again. The right-hander has a smooth leg lift and stride into contact with a feel to be on the barrel. He creates tension and uncoils really well through contact, holding angles, and finding ways to show a good jump off the barrel. Isaiah looks the part on the dirt, and he has put together some really impressive at-bats this spring. Scott is uncommitted.

Cael Kluever (2026, Charlotte, Iowa) has really been impressive this spring, showing some serious strides at the plate and on the mound. Kluever is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame, with an uber-physical and strong look. He’s added some strength, and it makes for an imposing look on the mound and physical swing from the right side. As a bat, he has really shown feel to impact and drive the ball this spring, adding a couple more hits this weekend with a couple of extra-base hits. He took to the mound, working 84-88 T89 on the fastball, with good ride to it. He works with a good whip to the arm and an aggressive and strong move down the slope. He shows a harder fading changeup in the mix and an upper-60s/low-70s curveball with 11-5 shape and depth to it. Kluever is uncommitted.

Anthony Harrington (2026, Lost Nation, Iowa) is another uber physical frame and build who has been hot the last few weekends. Harrington turned in a couple of good games at the plate, with good at-bats. He also had a quality two-inning relief outing on the mound. Harrington has a really physical and strong 6-foot, 191-pound frame with plenty of present strength to like. He has a good feel to deliver the barrel on time and has the impact to drive it hard to all fields. Harrington has always been a consistent performer on the circuit, but has really shown up the past two weekends. Harrington also worked 81-85 T87 mph on the fastball, with good arm-side life to it. He flashed a curveball in the 70-73 mph range, with sharp 11-5 shape and hard-biting downer depth to it. He carved for two innings, putting together a good weekend for his PG Iowa Select team. Harrington is uncommitted.

Tucker Long (2026, Ottumwa, Iowa) looked the sharpest I’d seen him on Saturday. While I said that in the last set of Scout Notes, he was even better on Easter Weekend than he was the one prior. Long came out and shoved for 3.0 innings of work, looking every bit of the part for the Gamers Select squad. Long worked 87-91 mph on the fastball, flashing plenty of carry and some arm-side sink to it. He was able to spin the ball above 2,100 RPMs. He flashed the slider, working 75-80 mph with spin above 2,400 RPMs. The pitch has a good 10-4 sweeper shape and good depth to it. He snapped it off for strikes left and right, shortening and lengthening it. He also flashed a harder slider at 80 mph, showing short-firm, cutter-like shape. Long also showed the changeup a ton, with really good fading depth to it, working the 79-82 mph range. He induced a ton of whiffs and was able to command the zone and shut-down the opposition. The Ole Miss commit was downright dominant on Saturday.

Benjamin Nichols (2026, Cedar Falls, Iowa) continues to roll up good starts this spring, and he was able to do so once again on Saturday. He has an uber-projectable 6-foot-6, 195-pound frame with long levers and room-to-fill out moving forward. Nichols moves well and has a clue for the move downhill, pitching from a higher slot with good arm speed and some whip through it. He worked 80-85 mph on the fastball, with feel to miss barrels up in the zone and induce the swing-and-miss. He also had a curveball in the 69-72 mph range, with 11-5 shape and depth to it. Has a 10-4 shaped slider in the mix as well, though he really only showed the curveball on Saturday. He has a legit forkball, too, though he seldom shows it. Nichols is a real projectable uncommitted arm from the ‘26 class here in Iowa.

Fletcher Yates (2025, Cedar Falls, Iowa) came on in relief and put together a really unique outing. Yates worked 87-91 mph, reaching back to grab 91 mph on the fastball three different times. He spun it above 2,200 RPMs as well. The pitch had some angle to it and was best when he located in the lower half of the zone. He flashed the usual curveball in the 74-78 mph range with 11-5 shape and depth to it. He had a ton of feel to spin, getting it up to 2,777 RPMs. He also showed a real hard cutter/slider in the mix, working 84-86 mph, with spin above 2,400 RPMs. The pitch had a tight and firm lateral shape to it. He also showed a changeup up to 87 mph. Yates showed the cutter for the first time in my looks, and it was a sharp pitch. The Kirkwood commit navigated through an inning of work in relief.

Trevor Kelling (2025, Cedar Falls, Iowa) has had himself a fine spring, getting it done at the plate and handling his team’s pitching staff well. Kelling has a medium frame and strength present. The backstop has been really good behind the plate and showed off some really nice throws on Saturday, cutting down runners and showing good actions behind the dish. He has a compact arm stroke with a quick transfer and feel to keep the throws around the tag zone. He has a smooth stroke with a short stroke and good length working through it, impacting well, showing good strength off it. Kelling is someone to watch during the summer for Cedar Falls.

Collin McClintock (2026, Fairfax, Iowa) took to the mound on Saturday, working 82-85 mph on the fastball, with good carry to it, and some burst out of the hand. He also showed a low-70s curveball, with good 11-5 shape and depth to it. The pitch has good depth. He has a taller 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame and build, with a good move down the slope. He throws from a higher slot with tons of whip through release, and he repeats the actions well. McClintock delivered 3.0 innings in relief, keeping the opposition at bay, with just 1 hit allowed, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts to his credit. McClintock is uncommitted.

Jayden Stumpff (2028, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) is an uber athletic 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame with a ton of projection that remains. Stumpff is a good mover in the box and has traits to like at the field as well. He’s got a smooth left-handed stroke with feel to be on plane with pitches, showing good feel to match planes, deliver the barrel, and show length through contact. There’s good bat speed and advanced barrel skills that are going to project well at the next level. He also put together a good outing on the mound, working the upper-70s on the fastball, from a lower slot. He mixed three pitches for strikes and put together a quality outing.

Owen Hicks (2025, Iowa City, Iowa) continues to get it done at the plate for his team and he has come alive the last few weeks, finding a groove during PG Spring League. He was able to tally a few more hits this past weekend, impacting it well, showing good traits in the box. He works from a more upright, right-handed setup, with a good leg lift, and move working into contact. He delivers the barrel to it well with plenty of barrel jump and strength off of it. He picked up 3 more hits in his games Saturday, including a triple. The Colorado School of Mines commit was impressive once again.

Allan White (2026, Lakeside, Iowa) has been good on the mound this spring, but this past weekend he put together another good outing, and he was also really impressive at the dish as well. White has a physical and strong frame, with a clean move down the slope while working out of the stretch on the mound. The fastball works the low-80s, and he shows feel for a depthy breaking ball in the mix as well. At the plate, White has a really aggressive and quick move through contact. He impacts well in the air, and uses his strength as he moves through it to find the barrel and lift the ball. There was a great feel to leverage, and he was able to pick up a handful of hits.

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler

Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact.

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend.

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...
