Game Performance

6/24/24
Wisconsin-Milwaukee commit. Hadley was an igniter from the middle of the order for a solid Sun Prairie East team—leading them to the Division 1 State Championship game to cap off his high school tenure. Hadley batted amongst the highest in this First Team All-State group—ending his senior campaign with a .526 BA. The outfielder provided some pop from the middle of the Cardinals’ lineup—including a home run during Sectionals at Middleton. Hadley came up clutch as a run producer for this unit on multiple occasions, as he was heavily relied upon and executed his plan consistently. In similar fashion to Palkowski, Hadley will also join the Wisconsin-Milwaukee program in the fall after dominating the WIAA stage in the spring of 2024.

INF John Hadley (Sun Prairie East, 2024) has some rawness to his game, but has all sorts of upside. Listed at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds, Hadley was on the barrel consistently throughout his round of BP, creating hard lifted contact with easy jump off the barrel (89 mph avg. EV; T94 mph EV).

Hadley is listed at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and it’s a frame capable of adding usable strength that should help his batted-ball profile. Hadley showed some explosiveness during the laser-timed 60-yard dash, running a 7.35, which is a solid time for a player with his long levers. During batting practice, Hadley used a rhythmic left-handed stroke to take a short path to the ball that drives baseball to the gaps consistently. During his round, he reached a max exit speed of 92.9 mph, good for a max batted distance of 312 feet. And on defense, while patrolling both first and third base, Hadley fielded at both corners of the infield showing some first-step quickness and a clean transfer, also possessing an accurate arm that reached up to 75 mph on his throws.
