2-Columbia Blue vs. 1-Black Game Highlights

8/30/2026

Tyler Swarts (2027 OF, Farmington, NM) got us off to a hot start in this one, sending one into left in the top of the first for a double. Swarts later tallied another base hit, making a solid 2-2 day. 

Lucas Guadian (2028 SS, Chandler, AZ) provided one of the loudest moments of the weekend, launching a homer to left center. The right handed hitter has a good feel for the barrel and slots the bat into plane early in the operation. 

Mason Parker (2028 3B, Colorado Springs, CO) showed off the strength at the dish in this one, homering to the pull side in a long at bat. Parker sits on the back side in the load, and uses a tight turn to impact the baseball. He also added a double later on in this one. 

Hunter Schauss (2027 OF, Casper, WY) already had one extra base hit on the weekend, and he showed off the pull side strength again with a pull side double in the third. Schauss works with an upright stance at the plate, and has plenty of bat speed to get to the inside pitch. 

Lou Menotti (2028 OF, Ogallala, NE) continued to show off the strength at the dish with a pull side homer in the fourth. The swing works out of a medium base, and Menotti has solid hands to get to the inside pitch. 

Drew Setchell (2029 C, Leclaire, IA) had a loud at bat in this one later in the day, hammering a 2-run homer. Setchell has plenty of bat speed to impact the baseball and I would expect the strength to continue to trend upwards. 

Marquise Granger (2027 3B, Loving, NM) showed off the barrel skill once again after another extra base hit in this one. Granger has some strength to the frame, and the hands work well to all fields. 

1-Black vs. 2-Columbia Blue Game Highlights

8/29/2026

Abraham Sigler (2029 OF, Miami, FL) had day at the plate, tallying two base knocks at the dish with one of those being a double. The lefty has plenty of bat speed and strength to impact the baseball to all fields, and he put that on display today. 

Nolan Miller (2028 C, Brighton, CO) tallied a pair of knocks in his first game this weekend. The right handed hitter has a solid feel for the barrel, and works well to the opposite field often. 

Nolan Hammons (2029 LHP, Parker, CO) but together a nice game at the plate, working with some bat speed in the swing. Hammons notched two hits, with one of those being an extra base hit. 

Marquise Granger (2027 3B, Loving, NM) sent one into left for a pull side double in the fifth, showing some feel for the barrel out front. Granger works with closed feet at the plate, and the swing works to the pull side best for strength. 

Quade Siemens (2027 C, Bar Nunn, WY) had a nice showing in this one, putting togethere a two his day including a double. Siemens works with a tight turn to impact in the swing, and uses an uphill bat path. 

Lou Menotti (2028 OF, Ogallala, NE) had a good swing in this one, shooting one into center for a double. Menotti works with a wider base with high hands at the load, and was able to get the barrel to this one. 

Hunter Schauss (2027 OF, Casper, WY) had a good swing in the bottom of the ninth, getting the barrel to one for a pull side double. Schauss gets the bat to plane early in the operation, and was able to catch this one out front. 

Carson Toller (2029 RHP, Highlands Ranch, CO) was impressive on the mound, working the fastball up to 82 with a bit of run to the arm side. The lean framed righty projects to add velocity in the coming years, and he was able to strike out the side in his inning of work. 

James Gordon (2028 LHP, Salt Lake City, UT) had a good showing out on the hill, working up to 80 with the fastball. The lefty has an athletic delivery with room to project, and he punched out four in three innings pitched. 

Calvin McCandless (2028 RHP, Denver, CO) ran the fastball up to 80 in a three inning relief appearance, striking out five over three innings. McCandless was around the zone with all pitches throughout the outing, and surrendered just two hits.

Hudson Farley (2028, Parker, CO) showed quality strength at contact that allows for hard hit contact. Quality power was shown to the pullside with the ability to lift balls that way.

Abraham Sigler (2029, Miami, FL) showcased quick hands at the plate with the ability to catch it out front. Strength stands out at contact with impact to the pullside.

Lucas Guadian (2028, Chandler, AZ) put together an impressive round with consistent barrel accuracy. A simple swing stays compact with hand speed shown.

James Gordon (2028, Salt Lake City, UT) showed the ability to create leverage and lift balls to the pullside well. Strength plays at contact with more power to come.

Calvin McCandless (2028, Denver, CO) showed off quality bat speed through the zone. A simple trigger allows for a balanced swing that stays short to contact.  

Nolan Miller (2028, Brighton, CO) displayed a simple swing with a direct path to contact. There is hand speed present with more power to come down the line.
