Olympia High School Scout Day - Quick Hits
July 10, 2026
On Wednesday June 10th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Olympia High School Scout Day with several talented high school prospects. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2027-2030 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.
Summer Scout Day 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 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 or West Coast Super Sophomore Games.
Today, we release our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout performers. Prospects are listed alphabetically by last name. For all event info, click here.
Olympia HS Scout Day
Quick Hits
'27 RHP/INF Peyton Crass
Crass established himself with a pair of great outings on the hill each of the last two springs with Prep Baseball scouts in attendance. After showing well at PNW Preseason All-State this winter, he displayed the same toolset that has led to his in-game success. The compact-framed righthander features a tighter arm action with a high-ride fastball up to 85 MPH, playing well to the top part of the zone. Crass spins his low-70's CB with sharp downer action at over 2500 RPM on average. The CB is his best offspeed delivery, but the CH at 75-77 MPH plays well to lefthanders and strengthens the starter's profile. Crass also worked exit velocities into the low 90's in this look, staying stacked over a strong back side with a loose-wristed stroke. Uncommitted rising senior to circle.
'28 RHP/INF David Diamant
The wiry-framed righthander really impressed in his bullpen session, with added velocity jumps possible as he continues to fill out his frame. Diamant worked through a simple delivery from the stretch, with a longer, sweeping arm action into a 3/4 slot release. There's arm speed present with late intent as his momentum is carried slightly toward the 1B side after release. Diamant worked his FB up to 85.2 MPH, sitting more 83-84 MPH. He killed spin well on a CH and featured a low 70's slider that flashed at times. Offensively, Diamant is more hit over power to this point with exit velocities up to 92.6 MPH. The righty works through a toe-tap load with a near arm bar before firing a whippy path through the zone. He also tied the event with 81 MPH throws across the dirt. Intriguing follow.
'28 1B DJ Johnson
Johnson delivered the loudest BP rounds of the day, utilizing his strong, stocky RH frame to generate some easy pop. The righty stays more upright with a controlled forward move and a slight uphill path through the zone. He punished multiple balls that left the yard with a peak exit velocity of 96.4 MPH and a max batted ball distance of 355 feet. A 1B only type defensively to this point, he also delivered throws up to 77 MPH across the diamond. Bat first prospect that delivered on Wednesday.
'28 RHP Landyn Keister
After stepping into a larger role on the mound this spring, Keister flashed his tools in a big way on the hill. Listed 5'11 160, Keister's long-limbed frame played bigger on the mound with some natural extension resulting in some added life to his arsenal. The fastball sat 86-87 T 87.2 MPH in this one, thrown from a high 3/4 slot release and a steeper approach angle. The CH flashed as a legit potential weapon at 74-75 MPH, paired with a SL as well. Keister's overall operation moved with more twitch and quickness since his previous look this winter, resulting in the velocity uptick. He'll be an arm to monitor as he enters his upperclass years.
'28 OF/LHP Noah Miller
The leadoff man displayed a scrappy style of play and ability to impact the game in several ways in-game this spring. At his first Prep Baseball showcase, he got off to a hot start with a 6.81 second time in the 60 to start off his day. The defensive actions were smooth and controlled, with sound reads and plus breaks on balls in the gaps seen this spring as well. Offensively, Miller stays through the big part of the field, starting with high hands in his stance with a direct path and abbreviated two-handed finish. Miller has all the makings of a productive leadoff man as he rounds out the remainder of his high school career.
'29 OF/RHP Nathan Pohl
It's a rare sight to see a player as young as Pohl to post one of the best 60 yard dash times we've seen at an event all season, but that's exactly what the young athlete did to start his showcase, with a 6.50 second run time. The advanced run tool for his age can be a real weapon for Pohl moving forward. A righthanded glove, Pohl has some rawness at times in his reads but has great closing speed and produced throws up to 79 MPH defensively. At the plate, the lefty stick widens his lower half with a gradual stride, carrying a flatter path through the zone with feel for the barrel. Pohl stayed consistent with a best exit velocity of 94.2 MPH and an average EV of 88.9 MPH. Athlete to keep an eye on moving forward.
'30 INF Callum Weldon
Another lefthanded bat/righthanded arm, Weldon carries a quality fundamental foundation that should play nicely as he matures. Listed 5'10 155, Weldon peppered the pull side in his BP rounds, with a smooth LH swing driving balls up to 90 MPH and 310 feet. Defensively, Weldon displayed softer hands and quick actions that should play up the middle at the HS level. A 7.39 runner, Weldon carries a well-rounded skillset with some athleticism and could be a potential varsity contributor early in his HS career.
