Landon Meinders, CV Crush Kramer - 16U (RHP, 2028)

6’3” 185lb RHP with a clean, repeatable delivery and efficient lower-half drive. Showed mound composure and attack mentality across 4.0 innings of work, allowing just 1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks, and striking out 7. Ability to fill up the zone while missing barrels defined his outing, with a heavy reliance on the FB that paired with developing off-speed.

• Avg. Spin Rate: 2000 rpm
• Avg. Movement: 9.9” IVB / 17.2” HB
• Avg. Extension: 6.2 ft
• Pitch Profile: heavy arm-side run with late life. FB consistently challenged hitters, generating a 55% whiff rate and holding opponents to just 1 hit across his outing. Effective both elevated and arm-side corner, producing weak contact.
• Curveball (CB)
• Avg. Velocity: 68.2 mph T70.6
• Avg. Spin Rate: 1809 rpm

Major Mosser, Nebraska Prospects 2026 (RHP, 2026)
Long and lean 6’6” 195lb RHP with a powerful frame and calm high ¾ arm action. Works downhill with body control, sequencing a 3-pitch mix to attack hitters. Over 6.0 IP, he allowed just 4 hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, and struck out 7. Projection stands out with the combination of size, extension, and ability to spin.

• Avg. Spin Rate: 2101 rpm
• Avg. Movement: 11.9” IVB / 7.3” HB

• Avg. Spin Rate: 2254 rpm
• Avg. Movement: -7.3” IVB / -9.6” HB

Strong FB/CH tunnel that consistently missed barrels, paired with flashes of both CB with depth. Long levers and above-average extension make the arsenal play up, while the ability to spin breaking pitches at 2250–2360 rpm signals higher ceiling projection. High-upside 2026 follow with starter traits.

Nathan Gaswint, 712 Nationals 2026 (RHP, 2026)

6’3” 205lb RHP, durable frame and confident presence on the mound. Showed ability to mix speeds effectively, keeping hitters guessing and working with arm-side command. Attacked the zone with a three-pitch mix (FB/CB/CH) and displayed advanced extension (avg. 7.3–7.5 ft).

Gaswint displayed a solid three-pitch starter’s mix. FB worked with natural arm-side run and paired well with a fading CH to disrupt timing. CB added a third look with depth. Will continue to gain velo and advance secondaries.
