Isaiah
Ahlberg

One of the top uncommitted catchers in the state's 2026 class. Balanced setup in the box, minimalistic hand load, quick hands, barrel works uphill. Achieved a catcher velocity of 80 mph from the crouch to pair with a best pop time of 1.94. Quick, short arm action with carry on the ball.

C/OF Isaiah Ahlberg (Solon Springs, 2026) took a nice step forward in this look. Ahlberg is powerfully built with a 5-foot-10, 179 pound frame with more room to add strength. Ahlberg showed off his ability to hit with a natural trigger and natural feel to hit and was driving the ball throughout his round and registered a solid 93 mph max exit velocity from his well-sequenced right-handed swing. Behind the plate, Ahlberg showed a cannon at 80 mph velocity and serious ability to turn the ball around and put it on the bag. His 1.80-1.96 pop times were an event best. He also showcased soft hands and a confident presence behind the plate when receiving during bullpens. During outfield defense, Ahlberg tied for an event best with showcasing a 91 mph pulldown with accuracy and carry. Our staff is excited for things to come this spring and summer seasons for the Junior.
