2028 C Colt Ward @Colt_Ward30 (@DefianceBBall) 6-3, 195-pound LHH 3-hole hitter is one of the top bats in the state. One of the premier offensive threats in the state, the lefty showcased an advanced swing with strength through contact and the ability to drive the baseball to all fields. Laced a double, walked and scored two runs at the plate. Behind the dish, continues to impress with his receiving and blocking, handling balls in the dirt with ease. Solid arm strength with accurate throws to second base. The No. 27 ranked prospect in the 2028 class continues to establish himself as one of the top names to follow in the class.

@JarenH08 @DefianceBBall @Colt_Ward30 2026 1B Brayden Weaver (@DefianceBBall) The 5-11, 185-pound left-handed hitting first baseman delivered the biggest swing of the night with a clutch 2-out, 3-RBI double into the left-center gap. Massive hit in a key moment for the Bulldogs.

16 years of coaching baseball, & after the anthem I still catch myself looking out to the LF corner to see if my parents made it —now my wife and kids too. Imagine how a 16-year-old feels when they look up into the stands hoping to see someone there for them. Show up. It matters.
