Hawley

RHP/OF Carson Hawley (Bay Port, 2026) was a member of Team Wisconsin at last summer’s PBR Junior Future Games, and we were excited to see the two-way standout back in action over the weekend. Hawley currently checks in at No. 10 in the state’s class of 2026 rankings, now listed at an athletic and well-proportioned 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. He started the day by running a 7.32 in the 60-yard dash, and followed that up on the mound where we saw his fastball sit 81-83 mph (83.6 max). He mixed in a four-seam and two-seam fastball, the latter showing sinking action, the former projecting as a carry-type with life through the top of the zone. His curveball showed 11/5 shape that he threw with feel to locate. To round out his three-pitch mix, Hawley showed a changeup that had fade with late depth. Defensively, his athleticism works well in the outfield, and the arm plays naturally from there as well, reaching high throws of 88 mph to home. During batting practice, he showed hitterish tendencies with bat speed through the ball. He recorded a max exit velocity of 90.3 mph, a max batted ball distance of 315 feet, and a max bat speed of 70.7 mph. Hawley remains a high-follow two-way player in the state’s freshman class.

Hawley is listed at a projectable 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. Hawley is a middle-of-the-diamond athlete who runs a 7.04 in the 60-yard dash with instincts to track down balls in center, and was also clocked at 87 mph from the outfield. His right-handed swing is easy, loose and repeatable that generates consistent line-drive contact through the middle of the field. As his body continues to strengthen and develop, the power should come. He also shows upside on the mound with clean, repeatable mechanics with a feel to command the baseball and has been up to 81 mph in our looks. Hawley is a high upside prospect for the class, and one of its best athletes – which is saying something, considering the level of athleticism that exists on this list.

Hawley has a 5-foot-10, 155-pound frame with good proportions and more room to fill in the future. He is a twitchy athlete and has natural strength throughout body. Hawley showed a quick powerful bat in batting practice, using his strong hands with a direct path to leverage line drives around the yard. Hawley showcased a strong arm from the outfield working through the ball and backspinning balls on throws to the plate.
