Uncommitted Spotlight: Hogan Hawkins


RJ Elmore
Western Operations

The summer is in full swing and the Prep Baseball Nevada staff has hosted several events, all featuring some very talented uncommitted prospects. The events we have wrapped up so far this summer consist of the Las Vegas Rising Stars Games/Top Prospect Games on May 28th with a ton of upcoming talent on hand, and the Reno Top Prospect Games, featuring a strong group of prospects from all classes. 

Our staff has had eyes on hundreds of players this summer, including an in-depth look at those who performed at our events. As the summer continues, we will be highlighting some of the top uncommitted prospects in Nevada who made strong impressions, with our Uncommitted Spotlight Series.

We begin our Uncommitted Summer Spotlights with ‘26 SS/RHP Hogan Hawkins. Hawkins attended our Top Prospect Games in Las Vegas, where he put together a strong all-around performance. He recorded the top 60-yard dash time of the day at 6.67 and led all infielders with a velocity of 90 mph across the diamond. On the mound, he sat 87–88 mph and topped at 89 with the fastball, while flashing a tight 79–80 mph slider. The switch-hitting two-way has clearly shown his versatility and will be a name to follow closely as he heads into his senior year. This article will take a deeper dive into Hawkin's recent metrics, scouting videos, and scouting reports.
