On Sunday, October 12th, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff traveled to the Legacy Facility in Chesterfield, MO to host the annual Legacy Scout Day. This event, featured 50 players from the Legacy program in attendence.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.

Earlier, our staff rolled out the day’s statistical standouts in leaderboard format within our ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. Today, after combing through our notes from the day, we’ve compiled some of the event’s standouts within these ‘Quick Hits’. Read below to learn about 8 names that popped to our staff from Sunday's trip to Chesterfield.

QUICK HITS

+ Sunday’s trip to Chesterfield gave our staff another look at RHP Eli Reppy (Parkway Central, 2027). Reppy showed notable jumps on the mound, adding nearly four mph to his fastball since our last look in February and topping at 87.7 mph in this outing. The 6-foot-5, 165-pound right-hander works with a loose arm and easy operation, suggesting even more velocity is on the way. He pitched comfortably at 85-87 mph with spin rates surpassing 2,600 RPM at times. Off his fastball, Reppy spun a 72-74 mph curveball that averaged 2,650+ RPM and showed true swing-and-miss potential, while also turning over an 80-81 mph changeup to round out his arsenal. Reppy’s combination of projection and stuff makes him an intriguing follow heading into the spring.

+ LHP Dante Gianino (Gibault Catholic (IL), 2028) emerged from Sunday’s event as a must-see arm in the Illinois sophomore class. Gianino stands in an athletic, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with more projection still to come. His delivery features easy actions and minimal effort down the mound, paired with a loose arm from a ¾ slot from the left side. Gianino’s ability to control a true three-pitch mix stood out during his bullpen, showing an advanced feel for the zone for his age. His fastball sat in the low-80s, topping at 85.6 mph, while mixing in a developing 72-74 mph slider and a mid-70s changeup that averaged -17 inches of horizontal movement.

+ Better known for his work on the mound, RHP/1B Brandon Ott (De Smet Jesuit, 2027) put together a strong showing at the plate in this look. A Team Missouri representative at the Prep Baseball Future Games, Ott stands in a physical 6-foot-4, 201-pound frame and was on the barrel throughout his BP round, producing a 94.7 mph peak exit velocity and 88.8 mph average from a smooth, left-handed stroke that worked gap-to-gap. He also showed reliable footwork around the bag at first and fired an 84 mph throw across the diamond flashing true two-way ability.

+ C/INF Jayce Keeler (St. Francis Borgia, 2027) emerged as a junior to keep an eye on this spring after showing notable jumps across the board in this look. Now stronger and more physical, Keeler added 10 mph to his top exit velocity since our last look, reaching 99.3 mph from a low-effort right-handed swing that produced line drive contact. He also flashed arm strength both on the infield (81 mph) and from behind the plate (78 mph), rounding out a well-rounded, impactful showing.

+ OF Nicholas Weidler (Seckman, 2027) continues to solidify himself as an outfielder to follow in Missouri’s junior class. With lean strength throughout a 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame, Weidler swings a quick, level right-handed barrel that consistently produces 90 mph exit velocities, peaking at 91.8 mph in this look while spraying line drives gap-to-gap. His athleticism translates in the outfield, where he paired an 81 mph arm with a 6.81 60 to cover ground with ease. With his blend of speed and power that can impact the game in multiple ways, Weidler remains an intriguing uncommitted name to know.

+ Fellow Seckman teammate OF Boyer Hart (Seckman, 2027) also turned in a strong offensive showing in this look. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound junior swung a strong right-handed barrel, consistently lifting balls to the middle of the field. He averaged 87.1 mph per batted ball, peaking at 97 mph, showcasing noticeable bat speed and lower-half strength. Defensively, Hart displayed arm strength, firing his firmest outfield throw at 83 mph.

+ RHP/1B Charles Willie (De Smet Jesuit, 2028) emerged as a young two-way standout from Sunday’s trip to Chesterfield. Standing in an ideal 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame that’s added noticeable strength since last fall, Willie impressed on both sides of the ball. The wiry right-handed hitter showed a fluid, easy swing that produced mid-to-upper-90s exit velocities, peaking at 97.8 mph. On the mound, he worked in the low-80s, topping at 85 mph with heavy arm-side action (18.3" HM avg.), and mixed in a 67-69 mph slider and 78-79 mph changeup. With continued physical development, Willie profiles as a name to keep an eye on in Missouri’s 2028 class.

+ A freshman to note from this event was INF/RHP Anthony Rodrigue (De Smet Jesuit, 2029). Physically advanced at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Rodrigue turned in a strong two-way showing, pairing an 86.2 mph exit velocity at the plate with a four-pitch mix on the mound. His fastball topped out at 81.5 mph, while he showed command over three offspeed pitches: a 64–66 mph curveball, 66–68 mph slider, and 70–72 mph changeup.
