Spark plug! Table setter out of the leadoff spot all week. Always looking to take the extra bag, great baseball instincts. Smooth actions in the MIF with great leadership qualities.
Richard Cruz III (‘28, AZ) pulls the hands tight and stays short to it to line this backside for a knock. Stays connected w/ a flat bat plane and some strength in the hands. #WWBA @PG_FourCorners

Staple in the middle of the order for us all summer. Smooth stroke with gap to gap pop. Plus defender behind the plate with a ++ catch and throw. One to keep an eye on!!!
Wolfgramm (‘28) comes thru again for his 2 H of game w/ this barrel back UTM to plate another RBI. Some strength at impact and feel to use MOTF and PS. 3 H in game w/ 3 total RBI. #WWBA @PG_FourCorners

Smooth LH stroke with G2G pop. Has a good feel for the barrel and was a big part of the teams offensive production this weekend @1Quetschenbach
Jack Quetschenbach (‘25, MO) caps off the run-rule win with this RBI single to RF. Stays balanced and calm throughout operation. Turns the barrel well on a linear path thru the zone. @KStateBSB commit #FallNatChamp @PGMidwestBB

The big fella was absolutely dominant in both outings this weekend. Legit 3 pitch mix. Landed the CB at will and ran the heater up to 91 in first outing. Had hitters uncomfortable all weekend @BlakeSebastia18
Blake Sebastian (‘25, KS) with five dominant shutout innings today where he struck out eight. 6-5/210 frame. 70% strikes. Creates quality extension. FB was up to 89. Landed low 70s CB and got whiffs with his upper 70s SL. #Nebraska commit. #FallNatChamp

Teddy Barrels! 11/16 with 8 XBH including 2 💣💣 on the weekend. Count didn’t matter, if it was over the dish it was getting hit hard @TeddyTokheim

Electric outing from Cole last night. Pounds the zone relentlessly with plus stuff. Amazing teammate, instills confidence in the guys around him. This is a guy you want on the mound and in your clubhouse…
Cole Hoffman (‘25 CA) sitting mid-upper 80’s while running FB up to 92. Adding 76-80 CH & mid-upper 70’s SL. Quick arm action w/ lots of life on FB. #WWBA @California_PG @PG_Uncommitted

The spark plug! This kid brings energy and effort every day that is contagious. Been swinging it well the past few weeks. 3-8 out in TN but the outs were stung as well. @LGBaseball
Had an awesome time this week in Tennessee, the Los Gatos cats went 3-0. I went 3-8 with 3 RBI’s and a pair of stolen bags here are my 3 swings.

Let’s go Griff!
Congrats to Griffin Allen (@IamGriffinAllen) who today was selected as Week 5 NorCal Pitcher of the Week. On Saturday, Allen went 7 shutout innings against CSM, allowing just one hit, walking one, and striking out five.

Nolan just gets better every time I see him throw. He also looks like he’s added more strength every time I see him as well. Motion is very repeatable and the ball comes out clean. Kid works hard and is an exceptional teammate. Definitely one to keep an eye on…

Keegan pounded the zone all day today. Fastball had some life through the zone and produced a ton of swing and miss/ weak contact

Consistent quality ABs from Carter in the leadoff spot all weekend. Tough out w/ good bat to ball skills that can put a ton of pressure on the defense w/ his speed down the line. Also played a high level SS w/ arm strength that allows him to make every throw from the left side
