Prep Baseball Report

2026 Spokane Summer ID - Quick Hits


Dylan Grenz
Assistant Scouting Director

On Wednesday June 24th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Spokane Summer ID at Gonzaga University. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2027-2030 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Summer ID events serve as an important tool for both Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters, who will subsequently create lists of prospects to follow as they plan their remaining summer coverage. We often tend to see prospects' best showings at Summer ID events, as players are fresh off playing for their respective high schools and are in the routine that consistently playing in-game offers. Standout performances can lend invites to some of the summer's top events, including the 2026 Pacific Northwest State Games.

Today, we release our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event. Stay tuned in the coming days for complete post-event coverage. For all other post-event content, click here.

Spokane Summer ID (6.24.26)

Quick Hits

'28 INF/RHP Brody Chapman (Lincoln Co, MT)
The lean-framed 6'3 sophomore set new personal-bests nearly across the board this week. On the mound, Chapman worked his fastball up to 85 MPH, sitting mostly 82-84 MPH in his bullpen. He also mixed in a low-70's CH and upper 60's CB. At the dish, Chapman displayed a flatter, gap to gap approach with exit velocities into the low 90's and balls hit up to 324 feet. He also ran a 7.36 60 time with throws up to 82 MPH across the dirt defensively. Well-rounded look.

'28 C Holt Dissmore (Ferris)
Another 2028 who set many new bests metrically, Dissmore was one of the biggest winners at the Spokane Summer ID event. Dissmore moves well in a 6'2, 190 pound frame, running a 6.96 60 time with agility and some quickness behind the plate. Dissmore worked throws up to 75 MPH on his pop times and has had a 1.97 pop at his best. The bat continues to stand out for his age, working to the pull side with an aggressive yet controlled stroke from the right side. Dissmore blasted balls up to 100.7 MPH with a max batted ball distance of 382 MPH. The bat really has a chance to be a difference maker, making Dissmore a name to circle for college coaches this summer.

'27 OF Alec Finn (Ferris)
The size and athleticism really separated Finn from the jump, with tools displayed that could translate to the collegiate level. A 6'5, 220 pound athlete, Finn ran the bets 60 time at the event with a 6.80 second dash. He took some time to settle in to his BP rounds, but once he did he showed some easy bat speed and juice to LF with a max exit velocity of 99.7 MPH. Finn also covered some ground quickly with longer strides in the OF and throws up to 84 MPH. Finn profiles well as a corner-type with a middle of the order RH stick moving forward.

'30 LHP/OF Braven Hodl (Liberty)
The young lefthander more than held his own as one of the youngest players at the event, showcasing a nice blend of present ability and tools that project. The lean-framed, long-limbed 6'2 prospect featured a low spin arsenal with a FB up to 81.8 MPH and a CH in the upper 60's thrown. At the plate, Hodl creates leverage with some pop when he's on time, posting a peak exit velocity north of 90 MPH. A 7.2 runner with throws up to 81 MPH from the outfield as well, Hodl got it done in all facets at Gonzaga.

'28 C/OF Max Kelly (Kamiakin)
An intriguing LH bat with defensive versatility, Kelly is a name to monitor moving forward. The sophomore sets in a more upright, narrow stance, creating rhythm pre-pitch with a flatter, loose-wristed swing through the zone. Kelly drove balls up to 99.6 MPH and 365 feet in his BP rounds, with an average EV of 90 MPH as well. The arm strength is still developing for the young player, but Kelly's quicker release led to a best pop time of 2.11 seconds from the catcher position. Kelly should see increased time on one of the more dominant HS programs in recent years as he progresses.

'28 RHP/INF Tyler Kernkamp (Coeur D'Alene, ID)
Dynamic 2028's were the story of the event on Wednesday, and Kernkamp fit this bill with a quality two-way look. The 6'3, 210 pound righthander is coming off of a recent showing at NPI in LakePoint at the start of this month, where he worked his fastball up to 86 MPH. In Spokane, the bat led the way, posting a 96 MPH peak exit velocity and 354 foot max batted ball distance. Kernkamp sets with his weight over his rear knee and a wider base throughout, working short to long with a loose barrel path. The physicality and skill should continue to play as Kernkamp enters his upperclass years.

'28 LHP/OF Luke Knight (Lakeland, ID)
Yet another 2028 with a great two-way look. Knight showcased some easy pop from the left side of the plate, posting a 98.2 MPH peak exit velocity and 345 foot batted ball distance. The head stays quiet as Knight starts in an open stance, working through a hovering toe-tap load into a flatter path through the zone and a controlled two-handed finish. A 7.2 runner, Knight had throws up to 84 MPH from the outfield with accurate tosses. He also flashed a three pitch mix on the mound with a fastball up to 83.5 MPH carrying plus IVB. 

'28 RHP/INF Zachary Kroll (Colfax)
The compact-framed sophomore had a great day start to finish in Spokane and is a name to monitor moving forward. Kroll's athleticism was on display early with a 6.99 60 time and fluid actions in the infield. Kroll also produced throws up to 84 MPH across the dirt. Offensively, Kroll carries a more pronounced weight shift in his load with a flat path and a firm front side at contact. He found hard contact throughout his BP rounds with a peak exit velocity of 96.8 MPH and an average of 88.1 MPH. Kroll also carries plus spin rates on a low-70's curveball to go alongside a fastball up to 82.8 MPH on the hill.

'28 RHP/OF Stener Kvinsland (Kamiakin)
We had plenty of looks at the lean-framed sophomore this spring for Kamiakin, and he did not disappoint in his first showcase look. The arm talent stood out in INF/OF looks this spring and exceeded expectations in Spokane with throws up to 95 MPH from the outfield, the best number posted this year at a Prep Baseball Washington showcase. The arm talent translated to the mound with a fastball 88-89 T89.6 MPH. Kvinsland works through a steady-paced wind with a continuous arm swing and late intent into a 3/4 slot release. The electric heater was paired with a CH at 75-79 MPH and a CB at 68-70 MPH. The bat trails the arm a bit to this point, but did drive balls up to 95.4 MPH in BP rounds. Must-follow arm.

'28 INF Dane Nielsen (Walla Walla)
Nielsen's offensive ability opened eyes in this look, with mature BP rounds displayed. The lean-framed 6'1 lefty stays tight with a controlled toe-tap load. The barrel stays in the zone exceptionally well, working short to long with a smooth, longer one-handed finish. Nielsen blasted balls up to 98.7 MPH with a max batted ball distance of 369 feet. The 7.3 runner has developing arm strength and moved well at 1B defensively. 

'28 OF Jonathan Purcell (Chiawana)
Another big winner from this event, Purcell continues to string together quality showcase looks over the past year. Purcell has shown a knack for getting on base at PNW State Games and West Coast Super Sophomore games, and it's clear to see why in his BP rounds in Spokane. Purcell maintains controlled aggression with a slight uphill path from the left side, driving balls up to 96 MPH with an average EV of 90.8 MPH. Purcell showcased a new personal best with a 372 foot blast as the power continues to progress. He also ran a 6.89 60 time with throws up to 89 MPH from the outfield. The RH glove can realistically stick at any of the three outfield spots at the next level. Name to know this summer. 

'28 OF Liam Reich (Mead)
Reich displayed big time bat speed with an intriguing toolset this winter, and carried it over to another strong showcase this week. The 6'1 righty carries some rawness at the plate, but can really punish balls in the air at his best with blasts up to 376 feet well over the LF wall. The lower half stays quieter while the hands work through an arm bar into a lower start and uphill path through the zone. Reich posted a 96 MPH peak and 86.7 MPH average EV. Reich also ran a 7.08 60 time with throws up to 81 MPH from the outfield. 

'28 RHP/OF Hewson Spencer (West Valley)
Spencer's 6'2, 175 pound frame looks to have added some strength since our previous look, leading to a sound two-way look from the 2028 grad. Spencer's bat was the benefactor of the increased physicality with some added pop, posting a 96.8 MPH peak and 88.8 MPH average exit velocity. Spencer starts in an upright, narrow stance, staying connected in the upper and lower half with some loft at and through contact. On the mound, Spencer worked the fastball up to 85 MPH with a CB/CH mixed in as well. Two-way talent to know.

'27 C Marshall Tomlinson (Post Falls, ID)
The Idaho native put together one of the loudest performances in this one, leading the event in a couple of major statistical categories. The sturdy-strong 5'10 righty punished balls up to 100.8 MPH with blasts up to 378 feet. Tomlinson was all over the barrel, catching balls out front with a 93.3 MPH average EV. The arm strength stood out in a big way, with throws up to 80 MPH carrying through the target with a 1.92 second pop time. Uncommitted prospect to circle.
