A Day of Measurable Excellence
The 2026 Prep Baseball Nebraska Top Prospect Games unfolded on March 24 at the Sandhills Sports Complex in Lincoln, drawing more than 110 of the state’s most highly rated prospects from the graduating classes of 2027 through 2029.
The showcase was built around a comprehensive battery of measurements, ranging from the 60‑yard dash and infield arm speed to outfield release velocity, catcher pop times, bat exit speed and fastball throwdowns. Each metric offered scouts a quantifiable glimpse of raw tools and projectable potential.
Levi Anthony of Creighton Preparatory School posted the fastest 60‑yard dash of the day, clocking 6.68 seconds, while Wyatt Clapp from Norfolk impressed with a 90‑mile‑per‑hour infield throw. Will Kaskie of Kearney High School recorded the top outfield velocity at 91 mph, and Ben Alessandro of Elkhorn Mount Michael posted a catcher arm speed of 82 mph.
Standout Performers
Kade Skoumal of Millard West demonstrated the quickest pop times, ranging from 2.00 to 2.08 seconds, and Dawson Guerber from Lincoln Lutheran topped the exit‑velocity chart with a blast of 106.8 mph. Adding to the offensive fireworks, Andrew Jackson of Southwest High School threw a fastball that reached 91 mph.
Beyond the numbers, the event served as a gathering point for coaches, scouts and families, reinforcing the growing pipeline of talent that will soon ripple through collegiate and professional programs. The data collected will be referenced in upcoming evaluations as the next wave of Nebraska baseball talent continues to rise.
As the dust settles on a busy spring schedule, the performances at Sandhills will likely shape upcoming recruitment narratives, offering a concrete benchmark for players eyeing scholarships and professional drafts. The next steps for many of these athletes will involve showcases beyond state borders, but the foundation laid in Lincoln remains a pivotal reference point.
