2026 Prep Baseball Dakotas Summer ID Swing: Quick Hits

Jack Joyce RHP / OF / Fargo North, ND / 2028

The Fargo North right-hander impressed during a recent bullpen session at Young Field. At 6-3, 190 lbs, Joyce commanded the strike zone with an upper-80s fastball and plus offspeed offerings. Expect to see Joyce featured in our updated 2028 rankings, releasing tomorrow, as a strong prospect from Fargo North with athletic movements on the mound.

‘28 Jack Joyce (Fargo North) kicked off our Summer ID swing showing off a live arm.

6-3, 190lb frame, athletic mover w/ M2C 👍

Thomas Koterba OF / Fargo Davies, ND / 2028

Koterba has impressed our staff throughout the year with consistent performances. He's demonstrated sub-7.00 run times and maintains an average exit velocity of 89.0 across three events this calendar year. A bat worth monitoring as he develops.

'28 Thomas Koterba (OF, @DaviesBaseball) displayed easy hands and consistent barrels during his BP yesterday.

Troy Gerhardt OF / RHP / Mandan, ND / 2027

Gerhardt, a physical presence out of Mandan, North Dakota, demonstrated upper-90s exit velocities and above-average defensive metrics. He also took the mound and touched 86.9 on the fastball. An uncommitted 2027 with next-level tools.  

Andrew Kramer OF / Torrington, WY / 2027

Kramer took a trip 3 hours up from Wyoming to Rapid City and led almost every postional categtry of the event. The uncommitted senior rotated hard during BP ripping off mid-90s exit velocities and 80 mph bat speeds. 86 MPH arm from the outfield and a 6.74 run time. 

Carter Schiefelbein SS / OF / T F Riggs High School - 01, SD / 2027

Schiefelbein had one of the most dynamic performances from the Summer ID swing. The multi-sport athlete checked all the boxes metrically, with run times, arm velocities and even running it up to 88 on the mound. Another senior who is still looking for a home come fall of 2027. 

Brody Leddige RHP / C / Grand Forks Central, ND / 2028

We first saw Brody at the Summer ID-Fargo event back in 2025, where he sat 79-80mph on the mound. Since then, the athleticism has boomed for the junior out of Grand Forks. Leddige sat 86-88, reaching back and topping at 89.1, with ability to throw off-speed in the zone. Leddige is another name to look for tomorrow in our updated c/o 2028 rankings. 

‘28 Brody Leddige (@GFCBaseball) opened some eyes on the hill.

6-2, 175lbs, easy movements with room to fill out. Big velo gains since last summer.

FB: 86-88 T89.1
SL: 76-79
CB: 71-72
CH: 75-78
