Keaton Winn, RHP, Iowa Western CC
An all-state wide receiver in high school who also won on a state championship relay team in track, Winn has matched more highly regarded draft prospect Daniel Tillo outing for outing this spring. He doesn’t have Tillo’s electric stuff, but Winn does have a low-90s fastball of his own, although he could probably use another year or two of maturation.
Mason McCoy, SS, Iowa
McCoy was a standout in the Northwoods League, winning league MVP honors last summer. He slid from second base to shortstop this year as the lone senior on Iowa’s roster and showed improvement at the plate, hitting .328/.394/.474.
Indigo Diaz, RHP, Iowa Western CC
Like Winn, Diaz throws in the low 90s, but the British Columbian native has enough control issues to need further refinement.
Zach Hanna, OF, Iowa Western CC
An Alabama signee, Hanna hit .367/.491/.602 this year, and swiped 14 bags in 15 attempts. Don’t let those steals fool you. He is a left fielder with below-average speed, but he can hit, although scouts may let him prove it in the SEC before they draft him.
