2024 Prep Baseball Minnesota Pitcher & Player of the Week: Week 4

William Haas LHP / OF / Rockford , MN / 2025

The 2022 Future Game participant significantly impacted the game on both sides of the ball this past week. However, it was his exceptional display on the mound that truly stood out:

Our number two prospect in the class of 2025 made two starts, tossed 12.1 innings, and struck out 32 while allowing just one earned run. In Haas's start against a potent Holy Family lineup, he worked 7.1 innings and struck out 19 in a no-decision outing. That followed a five-inning, perfect game against Litchfield, in which he struck out 13 of the 15 batters he faced. 

He's now thrown 29 innings with 69 strikeouts, nine walks, and a tidy 1.44 ERA on the season. 

The Rockford lefty also lifted the Rockets' offense, going .500 at the plate with three extra-base hits, including a home run.

Nolan Geislinger SS / RHP / Eden Valley-Watkins, MN / 2024
