Fun story… and a reminder: development isn’t always linear.
When I brought Prep Baseball Utah to the state in Oct 2020, I started calling prospects and emailing HS coaches to explain what PBR was—and what it could become for Utah baseball.
One of my first calls was to Cam Day (Layton HS). Years earlier, my Brewers associate scout Sam Swenson (Utah Marshalls) had told me about a 15-year-old already nearing 90 mph—and I never forgot the name.
Late 2020 I see Cam touched 94 back east. I call him and ask if he’d had real scout contact or filled out MLB Prospect Link. He said his only interaction was a Rockies scout business card.
So I told him:
If you come to our first Utah event and perform, you’ve got a shot at Super 60 (Feb 2021) in front of ~100 MLB scouts.
He showed up. Earned it. Performed again.
Then he put together one of the best HS pitching seasons Utah has seen:
2021 (Layton HS):
11–1 | 0.46 ERA | 76.1 IP | 133 K | 9 BB
He went to Utah, spent two years in the rotation, and didn’t get drafted out of HS because some scouts thought he’d maxed out—“he is what he is.” I disagreed.
After going unselected again in 2023, he worked out for the Dodgers in AZ and lit it up. He called me saying he had two 6-figure+ FA offers and asked: best dev path or best offer?
My answer: take the best offer. Always. He chose the Dodgers—great decision.
Two years in, he moves to the bullpen late last summer, adds a four-seam, and it explodes: promotion to AA Tulsa, sitting 96–98, touching 100 in the Texas League playoffs. He’s already appeared in MLB spring games, flashing the big FB and a nasty cutter/SL at 90–91.
Back to Tulsa or up to AAA OKC… either way, don’t be surprised if he gets the call in 2026.
