‘27 OF George Blake (IA, @GeorgeBlake150) left as big of an impact as any prospect of the wknd. Ath 6’4 frame produced loud outputs in each look. Homered to begin the wknd & added another today that left @ 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ on top of a handful of other hits / barrels👇👇👇 #GPFallChamps26 || @ShooterHunt

Really good mover on the mound- @TateAtkin continues to get better and better— college coaches need to take notice! Has been up to 87-88 MPH @PSBaseballScout | @MarchAustin27
Tate Atkin ('27,IA)📝 RHP w/ long levers, works downhill. Body syncs well, shows good command of FB. Room to add velo + grow into 6'3" frame. FB: 83-85 T86 mph / 2000 rpm / IVB 7" / HB 2" #WorldInviteQualifier | #Uncommitted | @IowaSticks 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-…

Absolute sleeper in the 2027 class‼️ @calebdickey19 87-89 MPH that can spin it! Very good mover on the mound @PSBaseballScout | @MarchAustin27
Caleb Dickey-Steimel ('27,IA)📝 Intriguing RHP here. Slight crossfire delivery, deceptive AA w/ OTT slot. High spin guy w/ strong shapes, not a fun AB for hitters. Impressive outing + guy to look out for in 2027 class. FB: 87-89 mph / 2500+ rpm / IVB 17" / HB 12" SL: 77-79 mph / 2600 rpm / IVB -3" / HB -3" #WorldInviteQualifier | #Uncommitted | @calebdickey19 | @IowaSticks 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-…

Love watching @NeslerWill03 play! 🔥 Been on the barrel all fall—6.7 60 | 86 INF High motor, competes at a high level, and is simply a winning player. @PSBaseballScout | @MarchAustin27
Will Nesler ('27,IA)📝 Leg lift trigger, gets hands slotted w/ tight turn through zone. Crushes 2R HR to LF here. Simple swing w/ aggressive intent. HR: 100 mph🧃/ 26º #WorldInviteQualifier | #Uncommitted | @IowaSticks 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-…

28’ INF @LincolnWheelan has been very good for us this fall- coming back from injury and gets better each week! Can really hit- 87 MPH across diamond @PSBaseballScout | @MarchAustin27
Lincoln Wheelan ('28,IA)📝 Smooth tempo in box w/ repeatable swing. Barrel stays strong through contact, gets the head out + smokes ground-rule 2B to LF. Great swing. 2B: 100 mph🧃 / 21º #WorldInviteQualifier | #Uncommitted | @LincolnWheelan | @IowaSticks 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-…

‘27 @TexasBaseball commit @HaydenA008 is just a special special talent! Up to 92 MPH today w/ a ++SL @PSBaseballScout | @MarchAustin27
Hayden Anderson ('27, IA)⚡️ A highly projectable 6'6" 215lb LHP w/ plenty of room to grow. The @TexasBaseball commit travels down the mound well while working from a low 3/4 AS. Was heavy on the FB today topping 92 mph w/ quality control. Stuff plays in the zone, generates plenty of S/M inducing weak contact. High ceiling guy and a name to keep an eye on. @HaydenA008 🤝 @IowaSticks 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-…
