8/5/2023

Will Biggs (2028 MIF, West Des Moines, IA) impressed both at the plate and on the mound. The 5-foot-10 right-hander put together an efficient outing and ran his fastball with short arm side run up to 80 mph. He flashed a slider with gradual horizontal break, mixing it fairly well. His arm is powerful and he releases the baseball from a whippy low three-quarters slot. Biggs also posted a 2-for-4 performance with the bat, lacing two well-struck liners into left field for singles.

Theodore Kimmeth (2027 SS, Chicago, IL) showcased his intriguing barrel skills with two singles in live action. He utilized a repeatable uphill stroke with leverage to all parts of the field. The 5-foot-7 righty proved to be a productive bat and projects for more power as he continues to physically mature.

Brett McInnis (2027 SS, Lemars, IA) was on the barrel frequently as he posted a 2-for-4 performance at the plate.

Dylan Anderson (2027 OF, Pekin, IL) impressed on both sides of the ball. The 5-foot-10 right-hander struck out three batters over two innings and ran his fastball up to 84 mph. The heater showed arm side run and lived on the outer-half of the zone, getting Anderson ahead of counts pretty often. He also flashed a sharper breaking ball with slurvy traits and some late depth to it for strikes. He offers a lot of upside as an arm from a physicality and velocity standpoint. At the plate, Anderson went 2-for-4 with a pair of loud extra base hits and an RBI. He has an intriguing power tool and will continue to add to it as he physically matures.

Cayden Campbell (2028 SS, Prior Lake, MN) offers a lot of intrigue as a hitter. He takes a mature approach at the plate and manipulates the barrel well around the strike zone. The 5-foot-8 right-handed hitter showcased his consistent barrel skills with two hits in live action. Campbell projects well as a hitter.

Zachary Westerberg (2027 OF, Frankfort, IL) was productive on both the offensive and defensive end. The 5-foot-11 right-hander struck out one batter in his lone inning of relief work. The fastball had a natural cut to it and peaked at 74 mph. He commanded the heater well on both the inner- and outer-third of the strike zone. He also landed a slower 12-6 curveball with late bite to it for strikes. At the plate, Westerberg recorded two hits on the day. He has a good feel for the barrel and commands it well throughout the zone.

Carver Cruse (2028 SS, Muscatine, IA) ran his fastball up to 80 mph early on in his only inning of work on the mound. He utilized a simple repeatable operation with smooth lower-half movements down the slope. The heater showed life out of the hand along with some late sink, ducking multiple barrels. The 5-foot-8 right-hander mixed in a bigger 12-6 curveball that disrupted hitters’ timing. Cruse projects well as an arm and will see an uptick in velocity as he adds strength.
