Elite talent is on the way ⏭️

[Perfect Game California @California_PG]

Sawyer Nelson (‘26, OR) sends this ball off the wall in LCF for a triple. Continues to stand out on both sides of the ball. Shown athleticism and soft hands defensively at SS #UBCWest @PG_PacificNW

[Max Price @MrMaxPrice]

Young man led the state in batting average, slugging, OPS, HR, and RBI - and played every pitch as one the premier shortstops in the PNW - while helping take a team to a 27-0 record in the regular season (29-1 overall).

Wasn’t named state player of the year.

[Perfect Game Four Corners @PG_FourCorners]

Sawyer Nelson (‘26, OR) laces this back up the middle for an RBI single. Shows a balanced, fluid operation. Will work deep into counts. Hit tool has stood out. #LMU commit #MLKWest @PG_PacificNW
