Unsigned Senior Spotlight: SS Zach Engemann
March 18, 2025
The winter schedule has come to a close as players and players are starting to get into live-game action with the regular season just around the corner. The 2025 preseason showcase schedule got started in January with the Utah Preseason ID that featured roughly 60 prospects. We follow up the Preseason ID with our marquee event ahead of the HS season, the prestigeous Utah Preseason All-State that featured roughly 130 prospects with a large crop of the top talent in the State participating.
Our staff had eyes on over 190 players these past couple months and with the season finally here, there is still a ton of quality uncommitted talent still on the board in Utah's senior class. Over the next couple weeks, our staff will begin highlighting some of these names who need to be on the radar of college coaches looking to roundout their 2025 class.
We continue our Top Uncommitted Senior Spotlight Series with '25 SS Zach Engemann of Orem HS. Engemann is the top uncommitted infielder in the State and represented Utah at the West Coast Games in October.

Scouting Report
The top uncommitted MIF in the state, features a well proportioned lean athletic build with a 5-11 180 frame that can add another 10 lbs and with that 10, his gap power should translate to added pull side HR power, as he has the leverage in the swing to lift and carry the baseball out of the park. The hand and bat speed maxes of 20.4 and 80.5 are in place to hit good pitching. His bat speed avg of 71.4 is MLB/D1 caliber metrics. The on plane efficiency max of 93 and avg of 74 suggests a flatter stroke with the necessary uphill angle to match the plane of various pitch types. The production as a junior, 17 extra base hits and a .383 BA, while producing more BB 13 vs SO 6, gives him every opportunity to let the projections in the power department to play as he continues to fill out and get stronger. A runner at 6.84/60, is his best laser timed mark at the West Coast Games and a 6.6/60 at a D1 college prospect camp showing, lend to legging out extra base hits as his junior #’s suggest. The glove plays at all 3 athletic INF spots and is the Orem Tigers everyday SS, after holding down 2B as a sophomore. Played both MIF spots at the West Coast Games and registered a strong 85 mph across the diamond with an open glove and low to the ground presentation as he funnels well and shows a loose wrist at contact with the ball and glove. What we have here is a solid to above avg performer as an underclassman that is athletic and can swing the bat, while showing foot speed and versatility to defend on the dirt. A high level JC/D2 caliber profile, that if the body shows added strength and over the fence power come spring, we may have more than that moving forward.
