Long known to our staff, C Landen Danuser (Lone Jack, 2025) put together a strong performance in Saturday’s look, showing inherent raw strength in a 5-foot-9, 192-pound frame. A high end defender behind the plate, Danuser continues to add polish to his game, firing an event leading 80 mph bullet from the crouch and posting 1.89-1.96 pop times thanks to a quick, efficient transfer. In BP, the senior was consistently on the barrel, peppering line drives to right field, while flashing occasional pull side pop. Danuser also led all participants in exit velocity with a 94.6 mph mark on his best barrel.
