Max Swoboda (28, NE)📈
The 6'4" 210lb #Uncommitted arm has a high ceiling.
Shows a fluid motion w/ an easy repeatable delivery, rides down the mound well w/ quality extension out front. FB sat 83-85 T86 mph, used CH and SL to generate s/m. Commanded the zone well keeping hitters off balanced. A 2028 to keep an eye on as he matures.

Projectable 2027 prospect who continues to turn heads this fall. Strong, athletic frame with mature movement patterns in the box w/ a clean, repeatable operation. Consistently produces quality AB's and has shown steady performance. Runs extremely well and shows high level defensive ability, giving him a well rounded profile on both sides of the ball. A name to continue to watch.

High ceiling player in the 2027 class w/ a chance to make a real impact at the next level. Consistently finds the barrel, controls the zone, and puts together quality AB's every weekend. Shows a mature approach at the plate and is a name to keep a close eye on this fall.

A young RHP in the 2029 class is someone to keep an eye on as he matures.

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"

Abram Decena ('28, IA) 🚀
An #Uncommitted LHH w/ a ton of juice 🧃. A lot to like about this kid and someone to keep an eye on this fall.
Has a wide base w/ a calm presence in the box. Minimal leg lift that allows his hands to stay quick to the ball. Hands fly through the zone for a loud HR to RF. A smooth operation allows the barrel to be consistently on time every AB.
HR: 96 mph / 27°

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.

The Athletic 6'0" 185lb LHH has some juice! A good looking #Uncommited hitter that has a lot to like.
He possesses a strong bat to ball skill w/ smooth operations in the box. Keeps his weight back allowing his hands and barrel to be on time sending this ball over the RF fence. Someone to keep an eye on this fall
