Declan
Spooner

It's been a pleasure watching Spooner develop over the years. Going into his senior year, the St. John's commit looks visibly stronger at 6-foot, 180-pounds. At the plate he took loud, repeatable swings, but above all else, he was the only player on Dawgs Scout Day that score 100% for hard-hit and sweet spot percentage. Spooner reached a max exit velocity of 95.4 mph and a carry distance of 330 feet, while 71% of his balls in play were line drives. Behind the plate he lived 1.81-1.95 with a 77 mph arm. Overall good look at Spooner, who's gotten better with every look. He'll be a fun follow in senior year.

2025 C Declan Spooner (St. Johns commit) was one of the better overall 2024 positional players at the event and has developed well since we had him at the Future Games this past summer. 6-foot, 180-pounds and stood out defensively and with the bat. The left-handed swing has gotten quicker, looser and more compact since the summer while producing a top exit velocity of 94 mph and average of 90+ with wood. Quick actions behind the dish with 1.90 pop-time and velocity of 78 mph. Reclassed to a 2025 as he committed to St. Johns and now looks to be one of the top catchers in that class across the country.

Late in the Best of the West tournament, 2024 Declan Spooner got the call up to the senior team and didn't look out of place. The left-handed hitter came through in a big moment with the bases loaded and drove in a pair of runs with a base hit. With a strong senior roster in North Shore going off to school shortly, keep an eye on Spooner to be one of the next big names.
