David Seifert

Hagen Smith 15 Ks through 5 IP. Amazing command of both his SL and FB. Best pitching performance I can remember in my 34 years of playing, coaching or scouting college baseball. Historic night for the lefty.

@marketheridge I could not agree more with Coach. Perfect approach.

“You can’t coddle,” said Meade. “I know the portal exists, but guys know you love them when you get after them. We challenged a lot of guys in the last couple of days. People don’t leave our program, so I think they are pretty darn happy. We have some guys who have got to be better. We need to coach them better. You are allowed to challenge guys in 2026.” Tuesday night, Troy played well enough to knock off a ranked SEC team. The facility had energy, an excitement level not always present in a club with a losing record, regardless of the competition level. There’s a hunger to improve. “If you work at Chick-Fil-A and you forget to say, ‘my pleasure,’ I think they are going to get after you,” said Meade. “We are allowed to tell our guys to be a better version of ourselves.” -- For more:

Some heavy hitters in this week's Scouting Trail 👇 d1baseball.com/prospects/2026… d1baseball.com

@mlbdraftleague Just amazing how a league with no talent -- as the "experts" stated -- has produced so many MLers in its 5 years of existence.

Making his @MLB debut on Wednesday, Eduardo Rivera (@crosscutters '21) worked 3.1 scoreless innings in relief and allowed only one baserunner! 🪓 📈 𝟯.𝟭 𝗜𝗣, 𝟯 𝗞, 𝗛, 𝟬 𝗥, 𝟬 𝗕𝗕 The @RedSox' No. 2️⃣6️⃣ prospect by @MLBPipeline generated 8 whiffs on 26 strikes.

Make that a total of 12 power arms at 100+ 🔥 this spring. 1 shy of the all-time record.

@BaseballAmerica @WKU_Baseball No surprise here.

Ryan Wideman is the hottest prospect in baseball 🔥 The Padres outfielder tops today's brand new Hot Sheet. baseballamerica.com/stories/rankin…

@coachgum @Channel1450com Pretzels stay ♨️

Another strong inning from Jasa who Ks the side in the 2nd. Broke out an above average 79 mph CB and flashed an average 81 CH. Huskers lead 3-0, Top 3.

Carson Jasa @HuskerBaseball off to a strong start at Illinois with a pair of strikeouts in the 1st. Hit some spots with a FB up to 98 and putaway with two plus breakers in a 82 84 SL and 86 87 CTR. Likely 4th to 5th round talent for 2026 #MLBDraft @d1baseball @PB_DraftHQ

@RedbirdBaseball Sounds right.

The Bakes Brothers become the first pair of twins to each hit a grand slam in the same game (probably). 🤷‍♂️

Rodriguez goes deep to CF his next AB, his 1st of the season. Horns 11, VandyBoys 0, Bot 6.

2027 #MLBDraft 1st round prospect Adrian Rodriguez stays through the pitch for a run scoring single of Anthony Pack, Jr. -- a 1st round talent for 2028. @TexasBaseball just loaded in draft talent and dudes who can flat play the game. 5-0, Top 5. @PB_DraftHQ @d1baseball

Robbins goes up top again, back to back. ⚡️ bat speed in just the flick of his wrists. Longhorns lead 4-0, Bot 4.
