Lincoln Land JC commit. Currently ranked No. 206 in the state. Lean 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame. Batted third and caught for the Titans. A comfortable receiver in-game, he controlled the running game by throwing out a would-be base stealer with a 2.10 pop time, and showed to be a willing blocker as well. A steady presence behind the dish for the Glenwood pitching staff.

Verbally committed to Lincoln Land CC.
Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame with room to add strength. Started behind the plate and hit out of the three-hole. Knoedler had quite the game on Tuesday as he went 3-for-4 at the plate. The right-handed hitter operates from a bent, balanced base with a toe-tap. Strong hands from a compact swing with an uphill bat path. Long through the zone with some whip. Showed a whole field approach with some power to come. Connected on three singles throughout the game on Tuesday. In his first at bat, he sent a ball back up the middle. Followed up in his second at bat with a single into left field. His third at bat was a flyout to right field. In his final at bat, he connected on a single into right field. Smooth receiver behind the plate.

C Colten Knoedler (Glenwood, IL, 2026) saw playing time behind the dish as a freshman last year for a Glenwood squad that is consistently one of the top 3A teams in Illinois. A well-proportioned 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete that's capable of adding more strength to his frame, Knoedler’s hands stay short and direct to contact with middle-of-the-field feel throughout his round. His glove is a strength with a quick transfer to release and an accurate arm that plays around the bag with pop times in the 2.06-to-2.09 range.
