SCOUT BLOG (LISTED ALPHABETICALLY)
Charlie Bennett, OF, Parkway South, 2024
Uncommitted. 6-foot, 165-pound left/left athlete. Hit leadoff and started in right field for the Patriots in this look. Short, direct path to contact, top-of-the-order type with a knack for contact. Advanced runner, knows how to effectively use his speed on offense. Moved comfortably around the outfield in I/O pregame with footwork feel.
Caden Bogenpohl, RHP/OF, Jackson, 2023
Highly physical and professional 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame. Was one of the biggest risers this winter in Missouri, jumping to No. 5 overall on our state’s senior class rankings, and No. 207 nationally. Started on the mound for Jackson, pumping his fastball at 88-92 mph over a six inning outing. Feel to spin a slider at 76-80 mph off it. Showed his double-plus raw power at the plate by annihilating a baseball over the right field fence for a no-doubt home run. Has one of the highest ceilings in Missouri, regardless of class.
Michael Callahan, OF, Lafayette, 2025
5-foot-11, 165-pound lean, athletic, well-proportioned athlete with a frame more than capable of adding strength over the next few years. Hit in the two-hole and started in left field for Lafayette in this look. Effortless athleticism, easy hand speed and rhythm at the plate. Drove a hard double into the right-center gap with authority. Also made a stellar diving grab in left field. Batting .379 with a .983 OPS over 37 plate appearances this spring, stealing six bags and walking (7) more than he’s struck out (4).
