Caleb
Johns

Possessing a strong and athletic 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame, Caleb Johns got the win on the mound for Hitters Navy. Johnson threw four innings only giving up one earned run and two hits. Mechanically, the righty displays a smooth and easy delivery with a high leg kick and low 3/4 arm slot. Johns consistently threw a running 80-85 mph fastball the whole game touching 86 mph. He pounded the outside and inside corners on batters which jammed them creating weak contact.

Sturdy 6-foot-1, 180 pounds with a strong lower half. Impressed with the bat on Saturday. From the left side, Johns sets up with rhythm before utilizing a simple leg lift to deliver that barrel with quick hands. He showed some pop to the opposite field, as he smacked a deep double to the wall that brought home two runs in New Berlin Eisenhower’s win. Throughout their two games of the day, he showed a quality approach as he worked deep into the count in a majority of his at-bats. Despite being an underclassmen, he was one of the vocal leaders on this team, and he exudes confidence while on the diamond, something that is certainly noteworthy.

Johns is listed at a long and projectable 6-foot, 165 pounds. Johns continually shows out well to our staff every viewing in tournament play and also did so at the Junior Future Games this past summer. Johns has a knack for the barrel with a short, under-control-swing who can hit for both average and for power. He can hit the ball to all fields and does an impressive job of controlling the strike zone. Johns is a defensive asset at third base with easy actions and a low pulse when the game is on the line. On the mound, Johns has a fastball clocked close to 80 mph and the ability to land multiple secondaires for strikes. His body and the loose delivery project for more velocity in the near future and have Johns as an exciting two-way prospect in the Badger States talented ‘26 class.

Johns is a 6-foot-0, 165-pound two-way player coming from the Hitters 14U team. Features both a strong arm and bat during the showcase on Wednesday. Reached 81 mph from the infield, exceeding his previous high of 79 mph from this spring at the South Milwaukee Rising Stars ID. At the plate, Johns has a long load and displayed the ability to find the barrel, as he had a max exit velocity of 91 mph. Athlete that should get some time on the bump for Team Wisconsin later this week, as he was up to 78 in the spring. 

Johns was one of the more impressive two-ways in attendance. Beginning his day with a 7.68 60 yard dash, and offering a dynamic look on both sides of the ball. At the plate, Johns worked out of a tall setup with a controlled toe tap. Entering to the inside half of the baseball, and drilling balls to the pull side of the field with authority (92mph). And showing feel for barrel controlling grooving low liners to the backside when the pitch didn’t match his power. Very mature skills for the youngster. Worth noting that Johns was 79mph across the infield before hopping to the mound, and generating one of the day's best pitching performances. His arsenal consists of a fastball with 20 inches of horizontal action, a 2200 RPM curveball, and a changeup with 20 inches of horizontal break as well.
