2025 West Coast Games

Quick Hits - PNW

'26 OF/LHP Lance Burt (Redmond)
A breakout performer now seen at several Prep Baseball events this year, Burt showed similar two-way upside with an electric lefty toolset at LMU. Burt kicked off his event by setting several new personal-bests metrically during the workout, including a 6.86 60-yard dash time and throws up to 89 MPH from the outfield. He also showcased a strong lefty swing with some thump, producing plus batspeed with loose wrists through the zone to average 90.8 MPH exit velocities in his BP rounds. In-game, the Redmond product stayed patient in his approach at the plate, drawing a pair of walks while driving the ball in the air multiple times. Burt also showcased his ability on the mound, working two innings while running his fastball up to 86 MPH. The high-slot release gave plenty of ride on the FB, paired with a low-70's slider. High-end two way talent.

'26 RHP/OF Gavin Green (O'Dea)
Green's twitchy-athletic wiry profile showed plenty of potential in his first Prep Baseball event. A pitcher-only in the gameplay portion of the event, Green worked three innings on the bump while allowing just a single run against Idaho. The smooth, repeatable arm action from a 6'2 frame led to the ball jumping out of his hands at times, working up to 88.5 MPH. Green added and subtracted with the SL shape at times at 73-78 MPH. The high-upside arm worked through some control issues at times in this look but also managed to strike out two batters while not allowing a hit. Green also showed well during the workout, where he ran a 6.89 60-time while posting exit velocities up to 99.8 MPH from the right side. The O'Dea arm is an arm to know moving forward.

'26 OF Cameron Hyder (McMinnville)
One of the best showings of any player on Team PNW, Hyder solidified his status as one of the top remaining seniors in Oregon with a standout performance at LMU. The outfielder displayed some added strength and physicality since his previous look, yielding positive results and added slug at the dish while maintaining his athleticism and speed. Hyder's BP rounds were his best at a Prep Baseball event, peaking with a 99.2 and averaging a 95.7 MPH exit velocity. The quick outfielder also ran a 6.76 60-time, the best on Team PNW. In-game, Hyder finished the weekend 3 for 5 with a walk and 3 XBH's. All three knocks laced on Sunday, Hyder used the whole field with an innate feel for the barrel, driving one triple into the LCF gap and another down the RF line to go alongside another double in his final at bat. A sound defender in any of the three OF spots, Hyder should be on any recruiter's radar as a name to know into his senior season.

'26 C/RHP Carsten Lemon (Lake Oswego)
The Lake Oswego product put together an exceptionally well-rounded performance across the three days of WCG. Lemon showed maturity and development in his skillset since a previous look last summer, highlighted by a 97.5 MPH peak and 92.4 MPH average exit velocity in BP. The backstop also posted a new-best 2.00 second catcher pop time on Friday, translating well and throwing out a pair of baserunners in-game. Lemon hit several balls hard during gameplay and finished the weekend 2 for 6 at the dish, using the middle of the field with adjustability and power shown. Primarily a position player, Lemon also hopped on the mound in the final game and was fantastic in a short stint, sitting 86-88 T88.8 MPH with a plus SL at 74-76 MPH mixed in as well. Lemon turned heads as a potential two-way collegiate athlete in the future.

'26 OF/LHP Dylan Mamiya (Kennewick)
The speedy outfielder has been no stranger to Prep Baseball events and came into WCG as one of the top remaining outfielders in Washington's senior class. Mamiya's mature, gritty style of play was best shown in-game, attempting to take the extra base at all times and making multiple diving efforts defensively. The lefty bat finished 2 for 6 on the weekend, highlighted by a double in his final game destroyed to straightaway CF. The smooth, longer swing showed impact ability when on time. Like Lemon, Mamiya is also a primary position player that turned in a clean inning on the mound, running his FB up to 84.4 MPH and working a 1-2-3 frame. The Kennewick athlete should be one of the more dynamic players in the state heading into his senior season.

'26 1B Jackson Mott (Gonzaga Prep)
The tall, lean lefty built on a strong showing at PNW State Games this summer, setting several new personal-bests metrically and showing out in-game as well. Mott's flatter path with a line drive approach at the plate led to a peak exit velocity of 99.2 MPH and an average of 90.7 MPH, driving balls up to 361 feet. The first baseman moved well for his size, posting a 7.00 second 60-time with lateral movement shown defensively. In-game, Mott lined a pair of singles, finishing the weekend 2 for 5 with a walk and an RBI while making every play at first base.

'26 C/INF Kian Siegel (Columbia River)
A compact-framed prospect with positional versatility, Siegel showcased some of the best and most repeatable feel for the barrel of any PNW bat. The righty gets the most out of his frame with a sturdy base and a direct path to contact, lining ball after ball up the middle in BP rounds. Siegel posted a 95.9 MPH peak EV and averaged 91.3 MPH across his BP, a tremendously consistent look. In-game, the Columbia River bat went 3 for 7 with three hard-hit singles. Siegel also popped a 2.13 second pop time with quick movements and enough skill with the glove to play some second base as well. The righty at no point looked overmatched and carries his mature, gritty game into his senior season.

'26 C Ethan Swallom (North Creek)
After earning Offensive MVP honors at this summer's PNW State Games, Swallom was once again the best bat out of the PNW at a major event this weekend. Swallom went a remarkable 5 for 6 with 4 doubles and a single across the three games, showcasing tremendous plate coverage and adjustability while hitting to all fields and filling up the stat sheet. The righty gets the barrel on plane early, staying through the zone and catching the ball out front for a pair of hits to left in the first game. He then added another double in game two before slugging two more XBH's in game three, with a shot to RCF rounding out his weekend. Swallom drove in four runners in total and scored twice to lead all PNW hitters. The catcher also posted a 1.95 second pop time in the workout and threw out a runner from the catcher position in-game. Swallom's WCG performance caps off one of the best series of showcase looks we have seen in quite some time.

'26 RHP/OF Graeme Warner-McGee (Lincoln)
Another top-end uncommitted player out of Oregon, Warner-McGee filled up the metric board with some of the best numbers of any player at the event. The two-way player ran a 6.83 60-yard dash time before throwing up to 88 MPH from the outfield. He then continued his strong workout by posting exit velocities up to 101.7 MPH, averaging 97.9 MPH to lead the way in BP. Warner-McGee's bat translated well to gameplay, where he lined a pair of singles on Sunday and finished the weekend 2 for 6. On the mound, Warner-McGee turned in arguably the best performance of any arm as well, tossing 2 scoreless innings with 0 hits, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. The righty wound with steady intent into late life down the mound, with a FB up to 88.5 MPH that jumped and played to all quadrants of the zone. The SL was a real swing and miss option at 74-78 MPH with spin rates north of 2600 RPM. A 80-81 MPH CH rounded out his arsenal. Must-follow prospect with an exceptional showing.
