Coming off a season that saw the program take a step forward in the wins column and return to the G-MAC Tournament, the Hillsdale College baseball team is excited to add to its roster with a new class of incoming prospects.

The Chargers are adding seven freshmen this fall – Jonah Borchardt (Milwaukee, WI/Marquette University), Jack Kilmer (Plano, TX/Plano West), Jeff Klominek (Twinburg, OH/Twinsburg), Drew Law (Westfield, IN/Westfield), Isaac Scavarda (Kalamazoo, MI/Loy Norrix), Collin Tobin (Memphis, TN/TNXL Academy), and Ryan Wiehe (Cleveland, OH/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy).
It's a group of talented players from six different states and an excellent blend of position player and pitching talent to restock the Chargers at critical spots on the roster as Hillsdale aims for another big step forward in 2026.

Jonah Borchardt is a right-handed middle infielder from Milwaukee and Marquette University, a high school that's sent several talented players to Hillsdale across multiple sports in recent years.  A team captain for the Hilltoppers, Borchardt hit .372 with a 1.000 OPS for Marquette as a junior and returned this spring to help lead the program to the regional final round of the WIAA Division I state playoffs. Borchardt also excels on the travel ball circuit with GRB STiKS, and is a strong student, making the honor roll every year at Marquette, earning membership in the Latin Honor Society, and serving as co-President of the Hilltoppers Defending Life Homeroom group.

Jack Kilmer is a versatile outfielder and catcher who starred for Plano West High School, playing in the largest enrollment division in the UIL, Texas' statewide public school athletic association. Kilmer hit .284 with a .400 OBP while batting leadoff for the Wolves as a junior, and was poised for a big season as a senior before an injury early in the campaign sidelined him for the rest of the year. Along with his time playing at Plano West, Kilmer also made his mark on the travel ball scene with Dallas Warriors Collegiate, and he's an excellent student as well, graduating in the top 10% of his class and earning first team Academic All-State honors as well as membership in the National Honor Society.

Jeff Klominek is a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher from Twinsburg, Ohio who played a role in the Tigers' first-ever state title game appearance in baseball in the OHSAA Division III state playoffs as a junior in 2024. As a senior Klominek helped Twinsburg get back to the district final round, falling short to eventual 2025 OHSAA Division III runner-up University. A three-year varsity starter for the Tigers, Klominek also excelled on the travel ball circuit with Release 17U and Sidewinders, and graduated with honors from Twinsburg earlier this month.

Drew Law is a two-way player with potential to be both a standout hitter and a pitcher at the collegiate level from Westfield, Indiana. As a junior, Law put up a OBP of .462 to help lead the Shamrocks to sectional and regional titles in the IHSAA Class 4A playoffs, the largest classification in the state of Indiana, while earning second-team All-Conference honors. A two-sport athlete and a standout football player as well, Law helped Westfield make the Class 6A semifinal in 2023 and the state championship game in 2024 as a defensive back. A standout on the travel ball scene with the Indiana Bulls, Law also excels in the classroom as a member of the National Honor Society and one of the top in his graduating class this past spring.

Isaac Scavarda is a big right-handed pitching prospect from Kalamazoo Loy Norrix, about an hour and a half west of Hillsdale in the state of Michigan. A three-year starter at pitcher for the Knights, Scavarda helped elevate a program that plays in the rugged Southern Michigan Athletic Conference, helping Loy Norrix to its first district win in eight seasons this past fall, and earning 2024 MLive Kalamazoo Area Dream Team honorable mention honors. Scavarda also made his mark in the travel ball scene, helping Elite Xtreme 16u win two national tournaments in 2023, and he's also a strong student, receiving MHSAA Academic All-State honors as well as being named a National Merit Semifinalist and a member of the National Honor Society.

Collin Tobin is another right-handed pitching prospect with prototypical build and velocity. Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Tobin graduated from TNXL Academy in Altamonte Springs, Florida while playing with their baseball team. A two-sport star who also was a wrestling All-American growing up, Tobin excelled on the travel ball circuit with Canes Florida and East Coast Lumberjacks during his time in high school. A top-notch student, Tobin is a National Honor Society member and was named an Academic All-American over the past four years.

Ryan Wiehe is a catcher prospect from Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in the metro Cleveland area of Ohio. A standout player for the Royals, Wiehe helped lead CVCA to back-to-back district titles on the diamond and the program's first-ever OHSAA regional final appearance in 2025. Wiehe was twice named honorable mention All-Ohio in his career, and also was recognized as the North Coast Conference player of the year in 2025 along with three first team All-NCC honors. A two-sport athlete, Wiehe also helped the Royals make history in football with the program's first-ever OHSAA playoff regional semifinal appearance in 2024. A standout on the travel scene with Fielder's Choice JSB and NMC Baseball, Wiehe also performed well in the classroom, graduating near the top of his class and earning membership in the National Honor Society.
