Oregon Fall ID - Quick Hits

October 14, 2026
Dan Jurik
Scouting Director - Pacific Northwest

Last Sunday, Prep Baseball Oregon hosted the Oregon Fall ID at Lake Oswego, HS in Portland. The event featured players from the 2027 - 2029 grad classes in the state. 

Prep Baseball fall events serve as an indicator for scouts and recruiters heading into the next calendar year. The fall presents a unique time where players are in a rhythm from playing consistent baseball throughout the spring and summer. Standout performances can lead to invites to some of Prep Baseball's top events in 2027, including PNW Preseason All-State, Future Games, and PNW State Games.

Today, we release our Quick Hits, presenting scouting notes on standout performers from the events.  Stay tuned in the coming days for all post-event coverage.

OREGON FALL ID (10.11.16)

QUICK HITS

‘28 C Carlin Crutcher (Willamette) A top 10 player in the class for 2028. Crutcher reinforced his overall upside and potential at the Oregon Fall ID. Immediately passes the eye test with a long, lean and athletic 6’5 frame. Carries quality strength now and has the chance to become even more physically dominant as he develops. For a larger catcher, he does a quality job staying low and keeping his hips beneath the ball. Very fluid and easy out of the crouch into throwing motion with plenty of arm strength at 76 mph and a best pop time of 1.88 seconds. Offensively it’s a tight, compact swing with enough loft to turn into future power at a high rate. Hits against a strong front side with big time leverage. Peak EV up to 102.2 mph. Part of a very talented 2028 group across the PNW. 

‘29 C/RHP Dexter Roben (Horizon Christian) was a standout on the mound this weekend and put together a sharp bullpen. The 2-way talent has some pop and arm speed as a position player as well but we will focus on the pitching acumen given the impressive velocity. Up to 82.3 mph with a lively FB that never dipped below 80. Roben attacked the zone from a tight, compact arm path with an aggressive finish out front. Also flashed a tight SL with downer action and a CH with above avg arm side run/fade. A short strider down the mound with quality rotation through his core. Don’t be shocked to see an uptick in velocity when spring rolls around. 

‘28 SS/P Dawson Richards (Crescent Valley) was arguably the top 2-way talent we saw at the Oregon Fall ID. Started his day with a crisp, aggressive bullpen with a FB up to 85.3 mph that paired with a sweeping SL and heavy, tumbling CH. Longer, continuous arm action into a high ¾ release. Clean and easy throughout. Flows down the mound after hands break and gets into a soft landing with late intent out over his front side. On the offensive side, showed middle of the field power in BP with a tight swing path staying inside of the baseball and strong lower half. Showed the arm strength to stay on the left-side as well. Soft glove hand when funneling ball in and kept his body control throughout the fielding process. 

‘29 3B Ryland Landolt (Clackamas). Landolt put together one of the more consistent rounds of BP we saw at the event and really impressed with his barrel control and contact quality for a younger prospect. Hitting with a balanced, low maintenance set up. He creates stretch against his front side when the hands separate and lands softly which allows him to fire the swing quickly and easily with a flatter bat path through the zone. Stays tall/upright throughout and holds his posture through contact. Quality bat speed and hand speed via Blast suggest more power is on the way. Had a current peak EV up to 93.2 mph. 

‘29 C Shai Rasmussen (Sprague). Well rounded, athletic prospect in the 2029 class who has excelled across multiple events this calendar year. Rasmussen continued to show a quality blend of size, strength and athleticism in all facets of his game. Projects well as a gap to gap power prospect with EVs in the upper 90s. The bat speed has been up to 73 mph and he’s able to move the barrel in a tight window. Quality run/jump metrics with athletic actions behind the dish. 

‘28 SS/P Kellan Murphy (Wilsonville) made jumps across the board from our previous look this summer. Speed, power and arm strength all showed improvement and there’s still a significant amount of projection left on his frame. A 6’0 athlete with a wider upper half and long, lean limbs. Murphy is a fluid, easy mover with deliberate tempo to his game. Offensively it’s a contact approach with the intent to spray the ball to all fields. Stays connected and controls the barrel. Well-rounded skill-set with the innate feel to do a lot of things easily on the diamond. 

‘29 OF/2B Gavin Doyle (Canby) is another young prospect from the event that has the foundation and upside to make some big jumps in his game this year. Lean, wiry build at 6’0 with an athletic trim. Doyle was one of the more consistent hitters this weekend in terms of staying on the barrel and maintaining flush contact with every swing. Loose, quick wrists pair well with high rotational acceleration numbers via Blast and overall project well for his power potential. 

‘29 SS/P Spencer Gage (Wilsonville) made some huge jumps from our previous look last year at our Freshman Free event. Peak EV jumped from 77.3 mph up to 92.1 mph while also improving his speed and arm strength. On the bump, the FB went from topping at 68.2 up to 75.6 mph as well. Overall, Gage is a compact, wiry strong athlete with great actions on all sides of the ball. He moves exceptionally well, especially on defense and really keeps his feet underneath him. While he might have a more slight frame, he understands how to generate power from the ground up and he gets the most out of his size without compromising his consistency.
