CLASS OF 2026

Sawa was one of the more productive hitters in-game with a pair of rocketed hits (tripled and singled) after peppering liners across the yard with a peak exit velocity of 98 mph. A 6.6 runner - Sawa's calling card has been his defensive abilities, but the bat has trended well, especially as strength has been added to the 5-foot-10, 170 pound frame. The swing is athletic with a direct path and controlled lower-half. There are shades of a strength/speed combo developing offensively with the defensive prowess establishing a safe floor.

3/18/25

Sawa is a highly-athletic outfielder from Center Grove that burned a 6.66 60-yard dash to go along with the best force plate data of the day (32.7" vertical). He's got a chance to stick in centerfield at the next level with the aforementioned foot speed and an above average arm to pair. Offensively, the right-handed hitter shows a short swing with abv avg accuracy and some whip to the barrel head + fast hands.
