08/06/2023 - National Showcase - Council Bluffs (Omaha), IA Dawson is a 2026 RHP/SS prospect from Somers, IA. At short, he shows off efficient feet and does well to center the baseball when fielding ground balls. He gets in a squared fielding position and presents his hands out in front, doing a good job to stick the baseball. He takes good angles to the baseball. He has a clean exchange and makes consistent throws to his target across the diamond. At the plate, he starts in a tall stance and lets his lower half lead. He has a good stride length and works hard to have an oppo approach. He works hard to finish his swing and keep his head on the baseball through contact. On the mound, he does well to gather his balance over the rubber and keeps his eyes on his target through his delivery. He gets on-time separation and stays squared to the plate, showing rhythm and getting good hip engagement. He showed off tight, 11-5 spin with his breaking ball and good shape on his slider. Overall, Dawson is an exciting prospect that we are excited to see continue to develop with 3 more years of high school still ahead!
