At 6-foot-2, 171-pounds, INF Sawyer Newton (Manhattan, 2026) is an upside athlete to know from this event. A top-20 player in the states’ 2026 class, the junior saw considerable jumps in almost all of his metrics since our last look this past winter. Using his long-levers at the plate, the lefty reached exit velocities upwards of 93.3 mph, consistently finding the barrel to the pull side. Newton also showed polish on the infield with a 87 mph bullet across the diamond to pair with a 6.81 60 time.
2/25/24

INF Sawyer Newton (Manhattan, 2026) emerged as a name to know sophomore from Sunday’s event. The 6-foot-1, 165-pound lefty put together a loud round of BP, consistently finding the barrel, spraying line drives from gap-to-gap. Still developing power, which should come as he adds strength and mass to his frame, Newton produced a peak exit velocity of 87.8 mph. Defensively, his arm played true across the diamond with above-average strength for his age, peaking at 87 mph on his loudest throw - tops at the event. Additionally, Newton ran a 6.84 60 to lead the event as well.
