Ranking at No. 6 in the most-viewed profiles of 2023 is RHP Sawyer Deering (Kimberly, 2025; Tennessee commit).

Deering has long been one of the class's top arms and throughout 2023, he may have even surpassed expectations. Starting in the winter, Deering authored a loud ‘pen at the Madison Preseason ID. There the athletic right-hander ran his fastball up to 88 mph while also spinning in one of the state’s best breaking balls, looking every bit the part of a high-end pitcher.

As just a sophomore, Deering played as a key piece in both the lineup, and the pitching rotation of Kimberly, a team that was constantly featured in our Power 25 Rankings. His role throughout the spring showed Deering’s potential and gave a glimpse of what was to come for the summer circuit.

Deering’s name circulated a lot throughout the next months, notably at the Midwest Super 16 and The Rock Fall Championships. However, the highlight of the year for Deering was his performance at the 2023 Prep Baseball Future Games. The right-handed arm had one of the most eye-catching outings of the week and showed out on the biggest stage in prep baseball. Deering ran his fastball up to 91.1 mph, caught numerous swings-and-misses, and displayed immense feel for his complimentary pitches. Here is what our staff had to say in our Team Wisconsin: Takeaways piece following the week in Georgia:

“...athored arguably the most electric outing during Team Wisconsin’s three games of the week. On Thursday, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound right-hander got things started on the mound, and certainly turned some heads. Throughout his stint, Deering sat 87-90 mph and topped at 91.1 mph with his lively fastball that earned multiple swings and misses in the zone. Not only was the sheer velocity of his fastball impressive, but it also possessed 21’ of IVB at its peak, making it play with major ride and carry through the zone. Pairing off of his fastball, Deering spun in a sharp curveball in the high-70s that averaged over 2,800 RPM and played with late bite. He rounded out his three-pitch mix with a low-80s changeup that he used sparingly. The right-hander would finish his illustrious outing with three strikeouts and held a talented lineup to just one hit in his two innings of work. Deering looked every bit the part of one of the state’s top arms, regardless of class, and he is certainly a high-follow name in Wisconsin’s 2025 class.”

(Prep Baseball Future Games; 7/27/23)

Deering delivered an exceptional performance as he showcased his talent at the largest uncommitted event of the year. He solidified himself not only as one of the top arms, but one of the top prospects in Wisconsin’s 2025 class where he is currently ranked at No. 4 in our Class of 2025 Rankings.

Scouting Report

3/12/23

RHP/OF Sawyer Deering (Kimberly, 2025) won the day on the mound with a fast-paced and quality bullpen. Standing at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, Deering presents a stocky frame with a strong lower-half. The righty showcased a FB, CB, and CH mix, having a comfortable feel for all three. With clean and fluid mechanics, driving and extending down the mound, Deering rushed his FB up to 88 mph, and sat 85-87 mph throughout the pen. The CB was tight with advanced spin, registering an average spin rate of 2,816 RPM, the highest at the showcase. His third pitch, the CH, which sat in the lower-80s, was a good complement to the FB and CB as a swing-and-miss pitch, as there was fade and depth featured throughout. The former Wisconsin JFG participant continued to show improvement to his craft as one of the top pitching prospects in the state’s 2025 class. At the plate, the right-handed hitter took a quality round of BP; working flat through the zone with easy hand-speed (24.9 mph avg, T25.6 mph) and bat-speed (72.9 mph avg; T77.9 mph). He showed off some pop at the plate throughout his round, reaching up to 342’ for his max distance with a max exit velocity of 92.4 mph.

Following the 2023 Future Games and capping off a success-filled 2023, Deering committed to Tennessee. The now-junior looks to be a key part of a Kimberly roster this spring and will aim to continue to build upon his 2023 accomplishments.
