From Alton:

SS Logan Hickman (2026; John A. Logan commit) gets @AltonBaseball on the board early with this 2️⃣ run home run.

Arm stands out on the infield with steady hands.

Alton leads 2-0 after one.

RHP Logan Hickman (@AltonBaseball, 2026) with a strong showing at the #SCSummerGames.

Long, athletic frame with plenty of upside. Arm works easy & loose.

FB sat 86-88, T89 mph today, flashed sharp spin on mid-70s SL.

Strong look at RHP Reid Murray (2025; @AltonBaseball) from earlier.

Athletic 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame.

Displayed solid control of three-pitch mix, inducing a lot of weak contact.

FB: 81-84 mph; held into the seventh
SL: 69-71 mph; sharp lateral break
CH: 74-76 mph; fading

Lewis & Clark CC commit.

Dynamic mover and athlete, easy to dream on.

6-1 | 175 lbs

FB: 83-86 mph
SL: 76-79 mph, feel

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

Way in on the ceiling & upside with RHP Logan Hickman (@AltonBaseball, 2026), who tossed two scoreless.

Works free & easy, FB sat 85-88, T89 mph.

Landed 78-79 mph SL for strikes, flashed 79-80 mph SPL.

A high-follow uncommitted ‘26 grad.

RHP/C Anderson Kaufmann (@AltonBaseball, 2028) was excellent in a W for No. 4 Alton - 5 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 7 K, 80% strikes.

FB sat 83-86, T87 mph, held velo.

++ feel for 75-77 mph SL, ++ feel for 78-80 mph CH.

Highly competitive, chance to be a special arm.

@A_Kaufmann5

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

Quick note on the season Kaufmann’s having so far for @AltonBaseball, as a freshman in one of the state’s toughest conferences:

22 2/3 IP, 4-0 record, 1.54 ERA, 25 strikeouts, 3 (!!) walks.

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

Alton answers immediately, scoring four runs in the first, and three of them on this HR from uncommitted C Ayden Calvert (@AltonBaseball, 2025).

No. 5 Alton leads No. 2 O’Fallon 4-3 in the first.

Another impressive look at RHP/C Anderson Kaufmann (@AltonBaseball, 2028) in a 5-4 win for the Redbirds.

++ compete with confidence and feel for four pitches w/ different shapes.

FB: 83-86, T87 mph
SL: 76-77 mph
CB: 71-72 mph
CH: 78-79 mph

Uncommitted RHP Logan Hickman (@AltonBaseball, 2026) comes out of the ‘pen & locks up a huge win for the Redbirds.

Long, easy, athletic arm, FB T88, sat 84-87 mph.

Sparingly used his secondaries, did get a K on SPL at 79-80 mph, showed a 78-79 mph SL, too.

Pair of barrels today for OF Chase Butler (Civic Memorial, 2026).

Doubled to RCF in his first AB, singled through the left side of the infield later on.

A strong, uncommitted junior that’s continued to improve each time I’ve seen him.

@chasebutler_3 | @ScoutConnectBB

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

C/RHP Anderson Kaufmann (@AltonBaseball, 2028) doubles the other way in his first AB.

Physical RHH for age, one of the top ‘28 prospects in IL.

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

Upside look at RHP Logan Hickman (@AltonBaseball, 2026) out of the ‘pen tonight.

FB T87 early, pitched at 84-86 mph with plenty more in the tank.

Flashed sharp spin on a 74-76 mph SL, used it sparingly.

High ceiling arm that’s still coming into his own on the mound.

[Diego @DeegsBaseball]

Nothing to show for in the box score, but ✌️ good swings from LHH OF Jack Puent (@AltonBaseball, 2026) today.

Physical 6-foot-2, 195-pound uncommitted junior.

RHP Logan Hickman (Alton, 2026) cruises through the first three innings, striking out four while only allowing two baserunners.
