He also showed a curveball that worked with 11/5 shape and feel for the zone. Dawson’s final line: CG SHO, 7 IP, 4 H, 11 K.

Stands at an imposing 6-foot-5, 215-pound build with more room for added muscle to his frame. Turner ran his fastball up to 82 mph in his start where he tossed five innings allowing two hits and one earned run. Turner projects to keep adding velocity on the mound as he continues to log innings.

RHP Braden Campbell (Manteno, 2026)
Campbell came out of the ‘pen for the last inning for the Tigers and impressed. In his single inning of work, Campbell showed a low 80’s fastball that touched 83 mph paired with an upper 60’s breaking ball. Campbell worked a scoreless inning, striking out one.  

LHP Michael Pettit (Lincoln Way West, 2026)
The 6-foot, 150-pound left handed pitcher started the quarter-final game Monday morning for the Tigers, going 5.1 innings with zero earned runs, one walk, and eight strikeouts. Pettit impressed with his fastball and curveball combination. The lanky low ¾ arm slot showed a fastball sitting 77-80 mph, T81 mph with a curveball at 65-69 mph. Pettit showed command throughout the game and had hitters guessing while mixing in a wipeout curveball. 

OF David Kundrat (Lockport, 2026)
Kundrat showed a power-speed combo Monday morning, roping two triples. The 5-foot-10 150-pound lefty lined a ball deep over the center fielders head in his first at bat and in his third at bat turned on an inside fastball lining it down the right field line displaying speed legging out a triple for his second of the game. Kundrat showed a slight leg kick with hand separation before bringing the barrel straight to the ball showing power to all fields. A name to watch in the 2026 class. 

Brew State Baseball 17U 

CIF/RHP Aidan Perdreau (Mukwonago, 2024)
Capping off a loud weekend, Perdreau toed the rubber for Brew State in their championship victory on Monday. On the mound, Perdreau was efficient as he posted a complete game where he struck out five, allowed just three hits, and all three runs that crossed were unearned. He featured a fastball that topped at 83 mph and efficiently navigated a high-pressure game that saw him work out of jams. A highly-ranked player in the 2024 Wisconsin class, Perdreau coupled his pitching performance with a loud home run in the final game. The towering shot that cleared the left field wall was the nail in the coffin in his squad’s 5-2 victory that saw them lift the tournament’s trophy after the game. Also a powerful bat, Perdreau was one of the most dangerous hitters over the course of the weekend, swatting multiple home runs and constantly barreling baseballs, drawing eyes whenever he came up to bat. Also a capable defender Perdreau showed steady actions at the hot corner when he played defense with steady hands and some arm strength across the diamond.

OF Jordon Dumas (Grayslake Central, 2024)
Dumas is an athletic and projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pounds with present strength. He hit in the heart of the order this past weekend and played CF for the Rams. His athletic swing produces plenty of bat speed, and the ball flies if he connects with the barrel. He also displayed a dependable glove, making an over-the-shoulder diving catch. 

RHP Jacob Rand (Grayslake Central, 2024)
6-foot-3, 180-pounds with long levers and plenty of room to add mass. Rand came on in relief for the Rams and gave an upside look. His fastball sat in the low-80s, touching 83 mph with downhill tilt. He flashed the ability to land a mid-to-high-60s breaking ball for strikes as well. 

1B Cal Hanson (Grayslake Central, 2025)
The lone 2025 grad on the Rams this weekend is a lean and projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pounds. He is able to control his long levers in the box, finding the barrel for multiple XBHs during the game on Sunday. 

ISA Royal 17U 

INF Javin Gauthier (De Pere, 2024)
Uncommitted. Gauthier is one of the top uncommitted bats in Wisconsin’s senior class. Swinging a powerful left-handed bat Gauthier has built a reputation of putting the barrel on the ball and doing damage. Defensively Gauthier showed steady actions in the infield and showed the ability to make tough plays across multiple looks.

Midwest Halos Scout 16U

RHP Jack Roventini (Arrowhead, 2025)
Standing at a projectable 6-foot-1, 175-pounds Roventini is an athletic prospect with a quick arm. During his outing Roventini sat in the low to mid 80s with his fastball topping out at 86 mph while mixing in a mid-70s slider that has swing and miss potential. Roventini’s arsenal projects to improve as he matures into his frame and logs more innings on the mound.
