With the summer coming to a close, and the fall rapidly approaching, there are plenty of talented uncommitted 2024 grads still on the market that showed well at our events in the summer. Below you will learn more about a few soon-to-be seniors that stood out throughout our summer circuit. 

SUMMER STANDOUTS

Sebastian Coleman RHP / Lee's Summit West , MO / 2024 From 6/14/23: “…Coleman didn't show the top velo or spin rates of the event, but he did buzzsaw through hitters faster than any arm. We had to extend both of his innings due to low pitch count as he located everything he threw and keeping the ball off of the barrel.”

Kody Brown C / Seckman, MO / 2024 From 6/14/23: “…Brown makes a strong case for player of the talented event. He lead catchers in pop time, velo, and threw out three runners in the game. Offensively, Brown's exit velo was a top at 98 with an impressive average at 90. His bat played in game too with a single and a double. Brown also posted a sub 7.0 60 that played in game with a couple stolen bases."

Gavin Bradley C / Eureka , MO / 2024 From 6/13/23: “...Coming off a strong spring season for the Wildcats, Bradley continues to trend upward in our eyes after another quality look on Tuesday. Built at a strong, thick 5-foot-10, 180-pounds, Bradley swung a heavy barrel, spraying line drives almost exclusively up the middle and off his barrel (80%) with a 95.6 mph max exit velocity and 319 ft. peak batted distance. His right-handed swing performed for Eureka throughout the MSHSAA season, as Bradley batted .402 with a .524 OBP and drove in a team-high 32 runs. Defensively, Bradley worked quickly to release, popping a 2.08 on his best bullet while peaking at 76 mph from the crouch, and he ran a 7.03 60-yard dash, too.”

Brennan Nickerson 3B / Parkway south , MO / 2024 From 6/13/23: “...Nickerson is another physical uncommitted right-handed hitter that showed loud raw power and strength in BP at this event. The 6-foot, 215-pound soon-to-be senior swatted the day’s second furthest batted ball, barreling a ball up at 97.4 mph that traveled 370 ft., per TrackMan. Nickerson hit three other balls at 97+ mph - 97.8 mph, 98.9 mph, and his peak of 99.5 mph. His inherent strength helped him create plenty of bat speed, both on average (77.6 mph) and at peak (83 mph).”

Keyton Cook OF / Licking, MO / 2024 From 6/13/23: “...Cook, who’s still uncommitted, came away from this event as a name-to-know that’s still on the market. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, Cook ran a 6.88 60, was 85 mph across the outfield, and he pumped his fastball up to 86 mph on the mound, too. He sprayed line drives throughout his round of BP from a simple right-handed swing that almost exclusively elevated the baseball (75%).”

Hayden Bates SS / Festus, MO / 2024 From 6/13/23: “...Cook, who’s still uncommitted, came away from this event as a name-to-know that’s still on the market. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, Cook ran a 6.88 60, was 85 mph across the outfield, and he pumped his fastball up to 86 mph on the mound, too. He sprayed line drives throughout his round of BP from a simple right-handed swing that almost exclusively elevated the baseball (75%).”

Cameron Lee OF / Father Tolton Regional Catholic, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “...An on-the-rise uncommitted 2024 graduate to know in Missouri. Wiry with lean strength on a 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame, Lee started his day off by running a 6.85 60, which was one of the event’s best marks. He worked gap-to-gap in BP, using the whole field from a level right-handed swing with a flat barrel through the zone. Lee averaged 291 feet per batted ball, the second highest mark on the day, and elevated his furthest ball 327 feet, per TrackMan. From the outfield, four of Lee’s five throws clocked in at 88 mph, and he was also 85 mph across the infield in his workout.”

Eli Tritinger RHP / Parkway North, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…has considerable upside on the mound with a 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame that stands to add strength as he continues to mature physically. In this look, Tritinger bumped his fastball up to 88.6 mph, pitching at 86-88 mph from an easy, controlled operation. He landed a tightly spun slider for strikes at 75-78 mph, peaking at 2343 RPM, and featured a 76-79 mph changeup that averaged 15 inches of horizontal movement, finding the zone each time he threw it. Tritinger is an uncommitted power arm that provided our staff the most polished look we’ve seen from him to date.”

Charlie Spoonhour RHP / Vianney, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “...Spoonhour was excellent in the gameplay portion of this event, hurling a clean inning of work. A wiry 5-foot-11, 150-pound athlete, Spoonhour is a fluid mover downhill with a polished, controlled delivery and loose arm stroke to pair. His fastball, which peaked at 18 inches of vertical break, touched 85.7 while sitting at 84-85 mph. Spoonhour turned to a slurvy low-70s breaking ball as his primary secondary offering, spinning it at 2400+ RPM at peak while averaging 16.5 inches of horizontal movement.”

Tyler Weber LHP / Christian Brothers College, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…is another uncommitted arm with upside to follow from this event. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound southpaw ran his heater up to 84.8 mph, pitching at 83-84 mph, and generating noticeable arm-side run in the lower half of the zone at times. Off his fastball, Weber spun a bendy low-70s breaking ball with some depth off a 1/7 plane.”

Devin Coulter RHP / Westminster Christian Academy, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…featured one of the day’s premier secondary pitches, showcasing a true swing-and-miss slider that grabbed several uncomfortable swings throughout the event’s gameplay portion. Coulter’s sweeper, which played at 72-74 mph, averaged 16.1 inches of horizontal break, peaking at 20.3 inches. He threw it confidently in any count, landing it for strikes consistently and also spotting it out of the zone for whiffs. Coulter’s fastball played at 82-84, touching 85 mph from a fast, loose arm swing. Aside from his efforts on the hill, Coulter also ran a 6.90 60 and showed sure-handed actions on the infield dirt.”

Griffin Barnett OF / John Burroughs, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…has game strength on both sides of the ball packed within a physical 6-foot, 175-pound frame. The first hitter to take BP at this event, Barnett blistered a handful of balls to the pull-side, averaging 93.1 mph per batted ball while maxing at 98.2 mph. He generated easy hand speed (25.3 mph) and bat speed (76.3 mph) at peak, per our Blast Motion sensors. Barnett also ran a 7.03 60-yard dash and was up to 88 mph from the outfield. He hopped on the mound later on, touching 85.8 mph on his firmest heater, sitting at 82-84 mph and mixing in a bendy 71-72 mph curveball to pair."

Lucas Pearson 3B / Francis Howell Central, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…owns advanced bat strength for his age and showed that throughout BP at this event. Pearson drove two balls 360+ feet to the pull-side in BP, with a 370 foot peak, while regularly elevating baseballs to the deepest part of the left-center gap from a long, uphill right-handed swing. Pearson found the barrel for a single in the gameplay portion of the event and batted .326 over 98 plate appearances for Francis Howell Central this spring.”

Brennon Wibbenmeyer OF / Francis Howell, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: "...doesn’t lack size or strength within a 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame. Wibbenmeyer stayed on the barrel throughout BP, working mostly line drives to the pull-side from a simple and direct left-handed swing. Wibbenmeyer also ran a 6.90 60-yard dash and was up to 90 mph from the outfield on his firmest bullet."

Gavin Mabe C / Union , MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “...was a standout performer from the second session of this event. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound soon-to-be senior got off multiple loud hacks in BP, hammering three balls 330+ feet to the pull-side in BP. Mabe had two 97+ mph barrels and five total 90+ mph batted balls while averaging an event-high 81.1 mph of bat speed, per Blast Motion. Mabe’s bat strength showed in game as he ripped an opposite field triple and found the barrel in a later at-bat for a hard barrel to left-center field. Defensively, Mabe was accurate and on the bag throughout his workout, popping in the 2.01-to-2.06 range with a 76 mph high out of the chute.”

Elliot Moore OF / St. Louis University, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…continues to elevate the baseball with consistency into the left-center gap each time we see him. Standing at a strong 6-foot, 180-pounds, Moore launched his furthest batted ball 331 feet and it left his barrel at 90.8 mph, per TrackMan. He went that way in-game, screaming a triple during the gameplay portion of the event. Moore showed arm strength from the outfield, peaking at 85 mph on his hardest throw home."

Jack Burckhardt RHP / Lafayette , MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound uncommitted arm that hurled two strong innings of work in session two. Burckhardt’s fastball played in the low-80s, touching 83 mph, and he spun a tight 2500+ RPM breaking ball at 72-73 mph around the zone as a complement.”

Connor Terbrock OF / Lutheran South, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…worked exclusively middle-away in BP, spraying line drives to that part of the field from a simple right-handed swing that stayed level through the zone. The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Terbrock batted .349 this past spring for Lutheran South in 75 plate appearances. He’s also ran a 7.11 runner in the 60 at this event.”

Max Guenther OF / Francis Howell , MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…started his day off by running a 6.89 60-yard dash, the fastest mark we’ve seen from the 5-foot-9, 165-pound uncommitted 2024 grad to date. Guenther stayed on the barrel (70%) throughout his round of BP, averaging 86.8 mph per batted ball with a 93.6 mph max.”

Sam Sailors OF / Parkway Central, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…continues to show physical tools and upside attached to a strong, well-proportioned 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame. Sailors swung with aggression at the plate, getting on top of the baseball and generating hard contact off his barrel, peaking at 94.6 mph in this look. Positionally, Sailors put up numbers across the board throughout his workout - 7.06 60, 87 mph from the OF, 75 mph from the chute, and 2.00-to-2.07 pops."

Will Horseman 1B / Oak Park , MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…At 6-foot-2, 200-pounds, Horseman is an uncommitted 2024 that doesn’t lack any size or strength.

Horseman also ran a 7.09 60, reaching a peak run speed of 19.5 mph.”

Manny Linthacum SS / Kearney , MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…Still uncommitted, Linthacum came away from this event with an arrow-up next to his name. A 6.74 runner at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, Linthacum’s short and simple left-handed swing produced deep pull-side contact, launching his furthest ball 350 feet at 91.3 mph. He hopped on the mound afterwards and pitched in the low-to-mid-80s with his fastball, touching 86 mph, with late arm-side life throughout (21.2 inches of run at peak). Off his fastball, Linthacum spun a cutter-like breaking ball at 75-76 mph.

Drew Vonder Haar 3B / Webb City, MO / 2024 From 6/20/23: “…Built physically at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds with strength throughout, Vonder Haar showed noticeable juice within a powerful right-handed swing. The uncommitted soon-to-be senior repeatedly found the barrel, averaging 92.8 mph per batted ball with a 99.8 mph peak. Vonder Haar’s peak hand speed (26.9 mph), bat speed (76.8 mph) and rotational acceleration (30 g) were amongst the event’s leaders, too.”

Lincoln Stephenson RHP / Blue Springs , MO / 2024 From 5/30/23: “…6-foot-4, 195-pound athlete with long levers that offer plenty of physical upside. Was a catalyst in leading Blue Springs to a District championship this past spring and intrigued on the mound at this event. Fastball played in the low-80s, up to 85 mph, and spun at an advanced rate; 2386 average RPM, T2511 RPM. Consistently landed a more gradual breaking ball with arch and depth for strikes, 73-76 mph, 2400+ RPM. Spun a tighter, firmer, and more lateral slider at 76-78 mph, 2500+ RPM.”
