St. Louis Force Scout Day Stat Story


Kevin Moulder
Missouri State Director

The St. Louis Force Scout Day took place on  February 21st at Champions Village in Fenton MO. The event featured 60 plus players with lots of young talent. Leading the way was 2023 Miami commit Nazzan Zanetello who posted the fastest running time, top exit vlo (96), infield throwing vlo (91), and on the mound recorded the top fastball at 90 mph. More than the numbers Zanetello impressed throughout the day with a BP producing consistent hard hit line drives, smooth athletic infield actions and good command of his pitches on the mound. Behind the plate 2023 Ryan Stevens showed off a strong arm and a good round of BP posting a 92 exit vlo. From the outfield 2023 Brysen Nepute led the way throwing 92 during the defensive portion of the event while also impressing on the mound with a 86-88 mph fastball and a good curveball from the left side. 2023 Gannon Snyder showed he is going to be one of the top 2-way talents in the class with 93 exit vlo during BP and topping out at 86 on the mound. The young talent seemed to be stock piled as 2024's and 2025's also opened eyes. 2024's Zachary Walters, Logan Cowick, and Jake McGee stood out with strong BP rounds. 2025's Gavin Richars (Oklahoma commit) impressed on the mound sitting 85-86 showing a good feel for his breaking ball and has clear upside. While Ryker Benz was another 2025 that jumped out during the event.

Below are the top statistical performers from the event.
