Starting from a crouched position he fires his hands through the zone.He shows a low and controlled swing that can drive the ball across the entire diamond. He also has the ability to control his barrel exceptionally well to get himself on base. His lower half rotation is impressive as well as how calmly he keeps his hands throughout his swing. His confidence grew throughout the day and it translated to the field.

Hudson Davies (2029, North Liberty, IA) was one of the hottest bats I saw all weekend. He had 3 multi-hit games tallying 9 hits and 7 RBI over the two days. XBH machine with 3 triples and 4 doubles. I can’t say I am surprised, with his smooth athletic LH swing. He generates effortless pop using his lower half. Toe tapping into his swing keeps him level and in a great position to damage pitches within the zone. Does damage to all fields, and shows the ability to let the ball travel and take it to the opposite field.

Nolan Dittmer (2026, Walcott, IA) stands at 6’8 225 with huge power at the plate. His stature coming from the left side strikes fear into opposing pitchers. Today went 4-6 with two doubles, and a HR as well as 4 RBIs. Controlled aggression coming out of his swing as he just punishes baseballs over the plate. At this frame he has the impressive ability to get low and attack any pitch that comes his way. His whippy bat path and long levers gives him a unique ability to crush baseballs all over the diamond. Power generates from the ground up and effortlessly works through baseballs. Southeastern CC commit. 

Easton Jansen (2027, Long Grove, IA) hit the ball hard all day today collecting 3 extra-base hits out of his 4 knocks. This comes in the form of two doubles, and a HR. Yet, his biggest impact was his timely hits that gave him 6 RBIs. Whippy hands through the zone create effortless pop working from the lower half. Keeping his posture through baseballs makes it easy for him to stay on a level plain. Giving him the edge over opposing pitchers he faces. Approach in the box also goes a long way within his swing. This being an all fields approach that was shown today.  

Lincoln Berding (2026, Mason City, IA) easily was one of the best arms we have seen all spring, and he had his best performance of the spring. He threw 4 Innings and struck out 11, and allowed no walks or base hits. Lincoln's heater sat 85-87 mph, topping 89, and paired it well with a SL. He kept hitters out of rhythm exceptionally well. As the game continued he also showed the ability to throw first pitch breakers. He used both pitches very effectively and lived in the zone. Southeastern CC commit. 

Wyatt Ebel (2027, Ely, IA) threw very well today working through 3 innings. Allowing one hit paired with 7 Ks and no walks. Easily his best outing of the spring as well. He sat 78-80, T82, on the fastball and showed a slider in the mid-60s. He has the ability to throw both pitches in the zone very competitively. He made sure to create a rhythm that gets him into a pitchers count. Once he got to a pitchers count he almost always got the out. One of the guys to keep an eye on as the spring progresses into summer high school ball is approaching. 

Cal Bonifas (2026, Bellevue, IA) threw 2 innings today and collected 5 strikeouts. Impressive stuff coming from this RHP he paired a FB, SL, CH very well throughout this outing. He shows the ability to throw all four pitches for strikes as well. FB 80-82, SL 73-75, and CH - 77. Some of his best stuff came to play this weekend as he kept batters out of sync. Throws from a really athletic standpoint that works well on the mound. As he goes through this spring I expect him to keep popping up on our watchlist. Wartburg Commit
