Fairview vs Antwerp - 4/8/21
Luke Krouse LHP / OF / Antwerp, OH / 2022Report: 6-2, 180-pounds with an athletic frame. Smooth/quick arm action on the bump, which projects in more velo to come. 3/4 arm slot with a repeatable delivery. Good three-pitch mix with the 4-seam, 2-seam, and curveball. The mound is the future for Krouse, but he can certainly swing it as well, with a nice LHH stroke. The Bowling Green State University commit is a definite follow.Pitch Repertoire:

Caleb Frank RHP / C / Fairview, OH / 2021Report: 6-1, 170-pounds with an athletic frame. Uses lower half well, while looking efficient with a smooth arm action that is repeatable. Three-pitch mix with a fastball, curveball, and slider.Pitch Repertoire:

Defiance vs Wapakoneta - 4/6/21
Braeden Goulet LHP / OF / Wapakoneta, OH / 2022Report: 6-1, 175-pounds with an athletic frame. The southpaw showed well in my first time seeing in a couple of years. Three-pitch mix and confident in all three. Repeatable delivery. The defense didn't help his cause, putting him in the stretch more than he would want. As a position prospect, Goulet showed well at the plate and in the field. Put together three solid at bats which produced one of the two hits on the day for the team. Defensively he moved to right field and made a very nice diving play, saving some runs late in the game. Three-sport athlete, QB in football and shooting guard in basketball. Definite follow.Pitch Repertoire:
Game Performance: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 K | 1-3 |
Jayden Jerger RHP / 1B / Defiance, OH / 2022Report: 6-1, 180-pounds with an athletic frame. Quick arm action on the bump, which projects in more velo to come. A little funk to the delivery with the high leg kick and turn. Good three-pitch mix. Looking forward to see where the junior righty is later this spring velo wise. Definite follow.Pitch Repertoire:
Game Performance: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 11 K |

Paulding vs Defiance - 4/5/21
Sam Woods RHP / C / Paulding, OH / 2022Report: 5-11, 205-pounds with a solid frame. First time seeing Woods play and he's most definitely a gamer. Shows confidence on the bump with his two-pitch mix. Command was an issue at times, but overall a solid pitching prospect. Offensively showcases an aggressive approach at the plate with an uphill plane to the swing. Roped a big time triple in the game. Pitch Repertoire:
Game Performance: 2-3, 2B, 2 R, 2 RBIs, BB | 3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 0 K |
Hunter Kauser C / RHP / Paulding, OH / 2021Report: 5-9, 155-pound athletic frame. Kauser has been one of my favorite players in NW Ohio over the past few years and my first time seeing him in 2021, he does what he always does. At the plate he reached base all four times, going 2-3 with a single, double, 2 runs scored and a walk, as well as getting on via an error. Smooth, athletic stroke from the right side. Compact swing with a level path to contact. Defensively, he stands out for the accuracy aspect of his game behind the dish. Whether it was game or in a showcase setting all the throws had zip, carry, and were right on the bag. Solid defender behind the dish. The righty also came in on the mound in relief, spotting the fastball well while mixing in two adequate offspeed offerings. Kauser is a player! Pitch Repertoire:
Game Performance: 2-3, 2B, 2 R, 2 RBIs, BB | 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K |
