The Top Prospect Award

While the event was loaded with 150 plus talented players from across the state, one player ultimately stands atop the list: Adam Wolf. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound southpaw has continued to climb up the recruiting boards since January and he hasn't looked back. In this outing, Wolf showed off an 87-89 mph fastball that touched up to 90 mph. He showed good command and natural sink to his arm side from a 3/4 arm slot. Even more impressive, Wolf demonstrated command of both a 75-76 mph breaking ball with sharp break and a 77-80 mph fading changeup sold with good arm action. Not only did Wolf's performance elevate his opportunities with college programs, but come this week next year, he stands to be one of Ohio's top high school draft prospects as well.
