Rising one spot after a productive spring with one of the state’s top high school programs is LHP Dane Bjorn (Lindbergh, 2023; Tennessee commit). The 6-foot-2, 190-pound southpaw anchored the Flyers’ staff en route to a state playoff appearance, punching out 104 batters over 61 â…” innings with a 1.70 ERA. He’ll pump his fastball into the upper-80s and spin a sharp slurvey-type breaking ball as a compliment, mixing in a changeup as well to round out a sound three-pitch mix. Bjorn consistently performed in clutch situations this spring and was one of Missouri’s most dominant arms as a result.
