Tate Southisene
Basic

HOMETOWN: Henderson, Nevada

HEIGHT: 5-10

WEIGHT: 165

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Southern California

Tate Southisene, the next in the long line of Southisenes coming up through amateur baseball in recent years, is a hitterish utility player who plays a gritty brand of baseball all over the field. He's a slasher who works gap to gap and can put his solid-to-above average speed to use on the base paths. The raw power is sneaky here. Southisene has super-fast hands, rotational acceleration and the barrel consistency that dwarfs most of his prep peers; certainly pound-for-pound. He's as good a bet as anyone in the 2025 prep class to hit at the next level.

Southisene plays shortstop and can handle centerfield. He is average-or-better at both spots. He has tremendous arm strength and his tools project into a number of positions on the field. Shortstop, third base, centerfield, a corner, it won't matter. Southisene is going to hit and surprise quite a few arms at the next level with his bat speed considering his Steven Kwan's-esque setup pre-pitch.

Brady Ebel
Corona

HOMETOWN: Rancho Cucamonga, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

The son of famed Dodgers third base coach Dino Ebel, Brady is an upside hitter with age on his side. He'll be extremely young for the class with size and length in the box. Ebel has had a streaky twelve months with too much soft contact in tournament showings and an overall difficult time handling breaking balls against better arms. That said, he's shown definitive feel for launch angles and getting to his pull-side. It was a similar narrative with 2023 draftee Eric Bitonti, though he was a bit more power-over-hit; Ebel being the inverse. Both players are/were young for the class with size, tools for the left side of the dirt and some tangible ceiling.

Ebel has a slow heartbeat on the dirt and can make most plays necessary of him at third base. He is not the twitchiest infielder and has slower strides, but the hands are soft and the arm strength will play at third base when all is said and done. His frame should allow some development in the power department, a critical piece in his development as July approaches. If Ebel begins flashing the potential for 'plus' power, his name could soar. Given the bloodlines, his pedigree and age, models will grade Ebel out kindly. He'll need to show more impact as the Draft approaches if he hopes to capitalize on his day one upside.

Daniel Pierce
Mill Creek

HOMETOWN: Hoschton, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 180

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia

Pierce has a lean and athletic build with some present strength and plenty of room for muscle. There's bounce and twitch in all facets of his game. At the plate, Pierce deploys a wider base with high hands. There's rhythm and looseness in his hands throughout the swing. Pierce has always been a balanced hitter who doesn't sell out for exit velocities, but of late he's grown into considerably more bat speed. The hit tool has always been revered, but evaluators now believe he could be growing into solid-average raw power. Considering his understanding of the strike zone and patient demeanor in the box, Pierce has components to suggest a high-average, high-on base performer who could grow into 15-20 homer upside.

Pierce is a wiry-framed infielder who could outgrow the shortstop position and eventually slot in at second base or third base if he adds more strength over time. But that's the case with many players at this stage. He's a 'plus' runner with above average arm strength that should keep him on the left side of the infield. His long stride and rangy actions give him a chance to stick at shortstop and develop into an above-average glove. Pierce gets some of the highest-level makeup grades of anyone on the high school side of this draft.

14 SS
Joseph Parker
Purvis

HOMETOWN: Purvis, Mississippi

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Mississippi State

Parker (and brother Jacob) are both considered high-level prospects for the 2025 Draft thanks to their left-handed pull-side power. Joseph isn't quite as big and physical as his brother and that's allowed his profile to stay on the infield. He's an average defender at shortstop with average arm strength. He's shown range to his right can make the tough throw coming in on the dirt. The aforementioned pull-side power is a major selling point here with exit velocities routinely ranging near the top of the scale among his peers. But Parker isn't a one-trick pony offensively. He boasted some of the best chase and whiff rates of anyone in the entire country last summer with a big sample size to back up the production. Parker generates strong coil in his load and separates well at foot plant. He's likely to end up at second or third base and could conceivably end up in left field when all is said and done. He is an average runner.

Sean Gamble
IMG Academy

HOMETOWN: Des Moines, Iowa

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Vanderbilt

Gamble, pound-for-pound, is one of the most explosive athletes in the 2025 class with twitch and torque in his hips and shoulders. The bat speed he's able to generate from a prospect of his size and stature is hard to match. Very easily 'plus' raw power. It's high-level traits and a powerful track record with the bat that has scouts drooling on what it could become. There is swing-and-miss in this profile specifically on spin. Gamble can get a little jumpy at the plate, lunging at breaking balls and off-speed pitches into his front-side. He's begun adjusting in-game with more consistency of late and is showing more of a willingness to come off the fastball. Gamble's load up heavy on the backside and pushes forward with an aggressive move toward the pitcher. He makes hard turns over his front-side, but when fooled can have a tendency to drift and lean through the swing. However, when he's on time and he in-sync through the zone, the exit velocities he produces are gaudy.

Gamble is a plus runner who projects into any of the three outfield spots. He's shown well in centerfield in showcase and tournament settings taking strong routes and showing feel for a good first step. Scouts believe he could blossom into an above average defender out there. Gamble will be 19 years old on draft day, but his present physicality and athletic traits should help model teams ignore that.

The case can be made Gamble is one of the more premium ceiling prospects in the 2025 class. Questions will likely surround the hit tool as July approaches, but even if he grades out fringe-average in that department, the other components to his report could get him draft in the first round.

Dean Moss
IMG Academy

HOMETOWN: Atherton, California

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 182

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Moss has the potential to do some damage at the plate with tight turns and some pull-side power. For now, as he's continued to get more and more comfortable with seeing advanced pitching, he's more hitterish with impact to all-fields in more of a slasher role. His opposite field stroke produces ringing doubles seared to the fence. The raw bat speed here is strong and should continue to blossom. Moss gets high marks for his approach, chase rates and impressive whiff rates. He's got a shot to hit 20 homers some day, but he's unlikely to ever represent a true middle-of-the-order bat.

As a defender he's an average runner with plus arm strength, likely destined for a corner moving forward. Moss is plenty capable of playing an average centerfield through his minor league career.

So long as Moss hits and continues to show the thump he's been hailed for, he's got a shot to go early in 2025. Of note, Moss will be 19 years old on draft day, something model teams will surely consider in their evaluation process.

17 C/OF
Brayden Jaksa
Irvington

HOMETOWN: Fremont, California

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 216

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon

A massively imposing right-handed hitter with violent, loud tools across the board, Jaksa has been impressing scouts for a couple years on the showcase and tournament circuit. The tools offensively are quite clear with big bat speed and huge leverage at the dish. He stays well-connected for a player of his age and size and his frame points toward more strength and feel in the box coming.

It's near impossible to find players that are 6-foot-6 and stay behind the plate, but Jaksa has a decent shot. He gets low into the crouch and is rather agile and explosive in his pop times. Jaksa makes everything look smooth considering the gravity and physics he's battling. What it looks like now is impressive. He'll have to stand the test of time as he adds weight and strength to stay behind the plate, but his tools should play at third base or in right field should he be forced into the field. Jaksa will be 18.5 on draft day.

18 C/OF
Jaden Fauske
Nazareth Academy

HOMETOWN: Willowbrook, Illinois

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 210

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Fauske has been one of the more impressive performers on the tournament and showcase scene going back to his sophomore year. He's played a multitude of positions including shortstop and third base as well as getting considerable run behind the plate at times. Scouts like him in the outfield eventually where his speed and arm strength look like a slightly more comfortable fit. He's got a super-physical frame with tons of strength in his legs and broad, squared off shoulders. Fauske fills out a uniform and looks the part of the premium prospect he is.

Fauske's profile is carried by the bat and a hit tool that always seems to show up. Fauske has a quiet setup with rhythm in his hands and few wasted movements. There's some waggle in his bat that helps his triggers. Fauske is consistently on time and shows off a heavy barrel with impact to both gaps. He never chases and makes sound swing decisions against premium arms. It'll eventually be 'plus' raw power and he's already flashing solid average game power with feel for launch. He doesn't have to force the issue to get into loft.

Fauske is an above average runner. It's solid average arm strength. His tools will be tested behind the plate, but pitchers trust his ability to keep the ball in front of him as he's shown well in terms of smothering pitches in the dirt. Outfield would not be an unfavorable outcome.

19 SS/RHP
Josh Hammond
Westchester Country Day

HOMETOWN: High Point, North Carolina

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 215

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Wake Forest

Hammond checks all the boxes in a future Wake Forest Demon Deacon. He's got a starter's body with a repeatable operation and very present stuff. The fastball has been up to 96 with big hop through the zone and bat-missing qualities. He puts hitters away with a firm slider with late darting life, as well as a mid-80s changeup featuring parachute and tumble. Hammond has had his issues with walks, but at such a young age he has a ways to go before any labels should be placed on his ability to stay out of trouble.

Despite the arm talent, most pro organizations seem to be valuing him as a bat. He's also a tremendous athlete who has posted above average run times, plus arm strength across the diamond and the bat speed to suggest a two-way look in college will be a forgone conclusion if he gets there. Hammond's bat path leads to a rather high amount of ground balls and that does affect his slugging output, but he doesn't strikeout and generally exhibits a strong approach at the plate with a willingness to work the count deep. Teams have developed ways to generate better attack angles from hitters in recent years. If they believe Hammond is good clay in that regard, he could fit inside the top 50 picks.

Landon Harmon
East Union Attendance

HOMETOWN: New Albany, Mississippi

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 188

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Mississippi State

Every time scouts get to see Harmon he seems to have added strength, size and the stuff seems to have ticked up alongside it. He's got a long, lanky frame with a high waist and a projectable physique. Some favorable starters traits. The fastball has been up to 99 with fairly generic shape. He'll manipulate that shape at times and create some tail on the heater as well. Harmon throws a sweeping slider with gradual lateral tilt and late depth in the low-80s, a pitch he's found success generating whiffs from. It's explosive arm speed and loose, whippy athleticism on the bump. Harmon has a chance to pitch up into the upper-90s consistently by the time the draft rolls around. It's one of the better frames and projection profiles in the class.

If he can establish a third pitch and continue to develop feel for commanding his arsenal with more consistency, he could be a guy whose name is called on day one. He'll be 18.8 years old for the draft.

21 SS/RHP
Cooper Flemming
Ganesha

HOMETOWN: Aliso Viejo, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Vanderbilt

Flemming is a well-rounded infield prospect with a good frame, projection and balanced tools. The swing and subsequent hit tool are both strong with a quiet load, getting on plane quickly with simple mechanics. He's flashed above-average raw power and could eventually begin backspinning the ball with more authority to create more game impact. For now, it's mostly line drives and extra-base ringing shots down the chalk. He needs to add considerable weight if scouts are to buy in on what some believe to be day one tools in July. Flemming is a solid-average runner with a solid average arm on the dirt. He's demonstrated impressive actions on the infield with a long, wide gait and excellent lateral mobility to his left and right.

On the mound he boasts a smooth operation with a loose arm and a fastball that jumps out of the hand. Flemming has been up to 93 featuring high spin rates with carry and tail coming from very little effort. A mid-70s curveball approaches 3000 rpms at times and he'll flip that pitch over with two-planes and late tilt. There's a slider and a changeup, though both pitches lag behind his 1-2 punch combo. Flemming is an excellent prospect with pedigree on both sides of the ball.

Angel Laya
Eastlake

HOMETOWN: San Diego, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 192

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon

Laya has tools that absolutely scream at you when watching film. The whole profile is still a little crude and getting polished over, but the bat speed, stride, gait, and pure athleticism in this kid stand out. Laya has shown flashes of an above-average hit tool but can get jumpy and anxious in the box leading to streaky chase rates.

Laya is an above-average runner who has been grabbing some 'plus' run times from scouts early in the spring. He has a tremendous arm and profiles well in centerfield or right field. The body is ultra-projectable with wiry strength and budding power and he's already become more physical in 2025. If the hit tool and barrel accuracy come around like some suspect, he could go high. He's an Oregon commit.

Slater de Brun
Summit

HOMETOWN: Bend, Oregon

HEIGHT: 5-9

WEIGHT: 192

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Vanderbilt

DRAFT SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW: Watch video

de Brun was the engine that made Team USA roll in 2024. The opposition simply couldn't get him out and he wreaked havoc on the game on the bases and on the field when healthy. Across one of the bigger samples in the country, de Brun ran a 1.313 OPS with elite in-zone contact rates and a minuscule chase rate. His polish and hit-ability set a bar most of his peers couldn't hope to match. Whilst the hit tool is obviously impressive, his four homers and impressive swing-speed metrics point toward a player who may ultimately blossom into average game power. It's an offensive profile not too dissimilar to outfielder Slade Caldwell from the 2024 Draft, though de Brun has three or four inches on the former.

de Brun's smaller frame will be something that inevitably captures dialogue in war rooms as the draft approaches. A left-handed hitter, de Brun employs a slightly open, rhythmic setup with a compact, explosive swing. He's got pull-side juice, especially on pitches on the bottom rail. He gets a lot of his power through his lower half. A primary centerfield, de Brun is comfortably a 'plus' runner with an athletic, projectable gait complimented by average arm strength. He fits at the top of the lineup going forward and could eventually flirt with a few 20-homer seasons.

de Brun has tacked on a lot of muscle over the last calendar year and now appears physically maxed out. He risks slowing down and losing some of his speed that'll be integral toward his draft stock if he doesn't stay lean. He's a big personality on and off the field.

Mason Pike
Puyallup

HOMETOWN: Puyallup, Washington

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon State

Pike is a dynamic two-way talent with explosive traits on both sides of the ball. A switch-hitter with a usable stroke from both sides of the plate, Pike is a physical presence who projects to hit for both average and power. His swing from the right side is more controlled with better timing mechanisms and more natural loft while his left-handed swing is a little steeper, whippy and at times can get out of sync. There's more raw power from the left side and a bit more use of the whole field from the right. His quality of contact is more consistent as a right-handed hitter. Pike has broad shoulders and well-distributed strength throughout his 6-foot frame. He's already a fairly physical prospect. He's a strong defender and could stick at shortstop if he doesn't get too big, but his profile will certainly play on the dirt at the next level in some capacity. It's comfortable third base tools and most foresee him ending up at the hot corner anyways.

While some are bullish on the bat, the industry seems more and more to be shifting toward his upside on the bump. It's explosive athleticism and a sound delivery, tremendous arm speed. Pike is already touching 97 and will sit 93 into the middle innings with a disgusting mid-80s slider and a power curveball he can land in and out of the zone. He spins the absolute hell out of his fastball and has pounded the zone with that pitch, bullying hitters daring them to hit it. There's a changeup on the way too, though it's currently too firm and lacks consistent shape.

Pike's lack of prototypical size and length will likely be discussed as it pertains to how much more is in the tank on the mound. He has a higher draft ceiling as a bat, but time will tell where the industry prefers him full-time. Pike could take either path at the next level and has the look of a potential day one talent.

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Mississippi State

There are few players in the 2025 class who can rival the physicality that Parker brings to the dish. A physical specimen, Parker swings an extremely heavy barrel with blistering exit velocity readings into both gaps. It's very real over-the-fence power, however Parker does tend to hit the ball on the ground more often than you'd like. His attack angle can get steep at times causing the barrel to roll over pitches out in front of the zone.

Parker is a budding defender who has seen his routes and instincts improve this year. He posts plus run times in showcase events, however most scouts think he's more of a solid-to-above average runner in game settings. It's a lumbering stride with a freight train gait. Parker has above-average arm strength and could play right field at the next level. There's a chance he continues growing and ends up at first base, however those days look long off in the distance.

The blend of athleticism and power here is pretty significant. Parker has an argument as the most powerful left-handed hitter in the class.

26 3B/RHP
Quentin Young
Oaks Christian

HOMETOWN: Camarillo, California

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Young reclassified from the 2026 class up to 2025, in part due to his age. He fits much more appropriately with the 2025 class and will be 18.4 years old on draft day. Young is an ultra-physical right-handed slugger with absolutely enormous pull-side juice and a barrel that simply sounds different than his peers. It comfortably projects 'double-plus' in terms of future power potential, and could end up a tick more. Young has a decent amount of swing-and-miss in his game, and that'll have to tick down going forward should he hope to reach his game power ceiling.

Defensively, it's comfortably a plus arm at third base and athleticism plays in the outfield as well. He's a prototype right field defender should he be forced off the dirt. He has some softness in his hands though fundamentals in footwork and fielding ground balls have some polish ahead. Young does have a fairly advanced internal clock for his age and once he gathers and brings the ball in it's fairly routine. Young's strength and size will likely keep him from ever providing excess value on the bases. All that said, the ceiling is definitely here for a future at the hot corner if he doesn't get too big for the position.

If the hit-ability comes along like many anticipate it could, there are first round traits to buy in the profile. There's something of a Jordan Walker projection here, albeit without the same proven hit tool track record that the now-Cardinals slugger showed as an amateur.

For what it's worth, Young has also been up to 98 on the mound. Maybe the profile takes on a Conrad Cason type of profile arc. It's no foregone conclusion this is a bat at the end of the day. Quentin is the nephew of former big league sluggers Delmon and Dmitri Young.

Alec Blair
De La Salle

HOMETOWN: Lafayette, California

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma

Blair is a two-sport star with immense interest from scouts both on the basketball court and in baseball. Blair is a long-strider in the outfield with fantastic range and strong routes to the ball albeit with some clumsy footwork when receiving ground balls hit into the grass. He's got a strong arm and may ultimately shift to right field if he outgrows center, but the speed and athleticism will play anywhere.

Blair has a quiet, unorthodox setup in the box with a wide stance and balanced weight-load. He keeps his hands low and in a centered, neutral position with some old school waggle. It's a calm demeanor in the box that produces fast turns on the ball, however the swing can get handsy and a bit long at times. He's struggled to identify spin, though he's yet to fully commit to baseball. Blair has continued to show improvement on the offensive end and is more connected and simpler through the zone with every look. He projects to hit for considerable power and as he gets stronger the stroke may shorten up and the hit projection is likely to tick up as well.

Blair is also a solid prospect on the mound where his fastball has been into the low-90s with a development breaking ball.

A five-star basketball recruit, Blair may be an extremely tough sign away from Oklahoma and the hardwood. There's something of a Michael Saunders type of projection here, though it's quite clear the raw power is miles ahead of where Saunders was at this stage.

HOMETOWN: Newnan, Georgia

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Clemson

Kilby is a guy who looks as though he's cut from the cloth of yesteryear. His crouched over stance at the plate looks down the barrel of the opposing pitcher with a fearless energy. There's rhythmic waggle and a calm about his setup and approach. Kilby has some drift both into his back leg and through the hitting zone that act as triggers in his swing. He lands on a firm front side and showcases a swing that projects into some power, though for the time being he's been mostly a gap-to-gap hitter with a pull-side emphasis into right field. Kilby projects to hit thanks to a compact swing with hands that are short to the ball with very little negative space in his load.

There's athletic tools here too featuring a football background an an above average run tool that really shows off in hustle opportunities. Scouts are split on whether he'll stay at shortstop or flip to third base going forward. It's a frame that figures to add a good bit more muscle. He could end up in the outfield if his speed dictates such a role change in the future. It's an intriguing profile that's been picking up steam over the last 12 months and figures to continue ascending as we approach July. Scouts see a little Jackson Merrill in the profile albeit with more feel for slug at this same stage.

The Hoosiers' premier recruit for the 2025 class, Fisher checks a number of boxes on the mound and has the look of a future college ace if he gets to school. It's a fastball up to 94 with huge spin rates and enormous cut and carry. Fisher is comfortable with an assortment of secondaries on the menu including a low-to-mid 80s slider, a deeper upper-70s curve and a firm, mid-80s changeup that continues to improve. For now, it's a smattering of average offerings with a definitive up arrow in the scouting community thanks to the athlete, fastball value and operation.

Pack is a twitchy prep outfielder who produces torque and coil at the plate. Just 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Pack generates considerable rotational force at the plate resulting in big pull-side exit velocities, negated a bit by an inflated ground ball rate. Pack's fast hands, all-fields approach, and athleticism on the field has scouts raising eyebrows.

Pack is comfortably a plus runner with some projection left in the frame. He's out of the box quick too, allowing him to beat out infield choppers. An advanced defender in centerfield who takes good routes and presents strong instincts, Pack has a chance to go early in 2025. He fills up a scouting report.

de Jong is one of the more talented two-way players in the 2025 class with upside on both sides of the ball and a split camp in the scouting community on where he ultimately projects. From this chair, the outlook on the mound is tantalizing featuring a low-90s fastball and works in a mid-to-upper 70s curveball, filling up the zone with authority. His heater does fall into the dead-zone category, but de Jong hides the ball well and parlays his fastball with secondaries that help it play up off its shape. The slider in particular offers dynamic shape and bat-missing traits that play well against both left-handed and right-handed hitters. He also offers a mid-80s changeup that can be a swing-and-miss weapon against lefties. Considering the physicality of his frame and general newness to pitching, there should be more in the tank. Offensively, it's pretty significant power from the right side and an up-the-middle approach, though there is a decent bit of swing and miss in his game at present. de Jong is a below average runner, though it's an average arm and a solid first step with a chance to stay at third base, though a shift over to first base isn't out of the question. de Jong will also be young for the class, turning 18 just a month before the draft.

Hamilton has really impressed scouts with his added physicality and subsequent jump in stuff over the last twelve months. He's a long, lean, athletic righty with sloping shoulders and a loose arm with a repeatable operation. Hamilton has been up to 95 and will live in the low-90s with a fastball that hops out of a reasonably low slot for his frame. It has a proven track record of missing bats. He throws an above average upper-70s sweeping breaking ball that'll vary in shape and execution, generally at its best when thrown with more depth. His mid-80s changeup features strong pronation attributes with heavy fade and spin-killing release traits. Hamilton has some effort through release, include some head whack, but there's definitive starter characteristics in this profile so long as he continues to get stronger and the art of pitching continues to get easier and easier for him he's got a shot to go quite high in the draft. He's an impressive athlete with a very good arm.

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Slawinski certainly has the look. It's a really good mover with a loose arm, athletic actions moving down the bump and three pitches. Slawisnki will work up to 93 mph with some sink and tail, effective at the top of the zone thanks to a lower arm slot and some organic deception. He'll raise his release point ever so slightly to break over a sweeping upper-70s slider with above average spin rates and significant two-plane tilt. His best weapon may be a high-spin changeup that he sells and tails off the fastball with effectiveness both in- and out-of-zone. Slawinski generates good extension down the mound and fills up the strikezone. He's an artist with a keen ability to shape the baseball and manipulate looks for the opposition. He'll likely need to see a velocity jump before July if he hopes to capture what some believe to be Top-100 pick upside. Given his long, lean frame, arm speed and athleticism, a jump up into the next velocity band shouldn't come as a surprise.

Schaefer really projects well with a long, wiry frame. Schaefer is already impacting the baseball and has grown into considerably more bat speed over the last 12 months. The hit tool stands out. Schaefer is growing into more raw power and could someday be an above average offensive producer. He has the hands, range and arm to play all three infield positions with the actions necessary to stay on the left side. It's a well-balanced profile and a scout favorite.

Stuetzer has performed quite well on the showcase and tournament circuits going back to his freshman year. He's a pure hitter with explosivity in his hands and a quiet operation that really projects to hit going forward. It's a short path to the ball with a compact turn that works line to line. Stuetzer's head stays on plane through the baseball without any wasted motion or triggers. It's a right-handed swing built to hit drawn up in a lab featuring sneaky raw power and exit velocities that point toward 'plus' raw power. He's a violent athlete who boasts 70-grade run times too with an exceptionally athletic gait. While Stuetzer may not present conventional size and physicality in the box, his polish more than makes up for what he lacks in traditional muscle. The kid can find a barrel. A two-sport star, Stuetzer looks like the decorated running back he is when rounding the bases too. It's a table-setter profile who adds some sneaky thump when in ambush mode. The proud owner of the all-time stolen base record at Pope HS, Stuetzer isn't afraid to let it burn out there. There is some debate as to whether he fits at shortstop or in the outfield going forward. He moves well on the dirt and has solid average arm strength to play the infield, but it's an arm action that may fit better roaming the grass. He's shown well in centerfield over the last twelve months and has scouts bullish on his ability to play the '8'. Stuetzer is already a fairly physical kid considering his 5-foot-11-inch frame. He will be 18.8 years old for the draft.

Carson Brumbaugh
Edmond Santa Fe

HOMETOWN: Edmond, Oklahoma

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Arkansas

Brumbaugh is one of the most impressive total packages in the 2025 class with solid traits on both sides of the ball. On the mound, Brumbaugh will grab 96 and live 93-94 in short inning outings with a diabolical mid-80s sweeper. There's considerable effort in the delivery, but in a relief role, Brumbaugh could eventually throw triple digits with a soul-crushing breaking ball.

Most scouts like the hitter/defender instead.

Offensively, it's a lightning quick stroke with some feel to hit to the pull-side, though presently swing-and-miss concerns hold back his profile against premium competition. It's pound-for-pound some of the best bat speed and hand speed in the class. He checks plenty of metric boxes. Brumbaugh possesses an athletic frame that handles shortstop now, though he may outgrow that position and end up at third base. He's under control at the plate and is a sound defender who rarely makes mistakes. It's also above average arm strength. Brumbaugh may not have a carrying tool, but he's average to above-average in most facets of his game. Brumbaugh will turn 19 two months after the draft.

Aaron Watson
Trinity Christian Academy

HOMETOWN: Jacksonville, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 205

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Virginia

A bit of a late bloomer, Watson really saw his game explode as a junior with a fastball suddenly brushing 96 mph and secondaries showing promise. Watson is a big, tall, long righty with broad, sloping shoulder and strength in his levers. His fastball possesses considerable tail. He'll pair the heater with a shorter low 80s slider featuring two planes of break and some seam mirroring off his fastball with bat-missing traits. He still needs a third pitch and eliminating some of the broadcast in his breaking ball will continue to be a point of emphasis, but Watson has clay others simply do not. It's a beautiful delivery with even more projection on the way. He's unlikely to ever be a true punchout starter, but a starter nonetheless.

38 2B/RHP
Ethin Bingaman
Corona

HOMETOWN: Redlands, California

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 206

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Auburn

An exceptional two-way talent, Bingaman brings a level of polish and intrigue on both sides of the ball few in this class can offer. From this chair his future is in the batters box where an innate feel for hitting could take him far.

Bingman is a decorated hitter. He ran an OPS near 1.200 in 2024 with an ISO that approached .300. There are simply very few holes in his swing. He hits velocity, he hits spin, he hits pitches inside the zone and outside of the zone. It's exceptional barrel control with power into the opposite-field gap. Bingaman is a relaxed hitter with a low hand setup, a bit of waggle and a quiet load and fire through the zone. He lags his hands back behind his body and creates stretch in his swing that translate into bat speed. He showcases strong hands and ideal plane built to lift the baseball. He's not steep and keeps a strong top-hand to create backspin. Bingaman shows feels for the pull-side and projects to hit for above-average game power at full maturation. His frame is already reasonably physical with boxy shoulders and strength in his lower half. Most of his physical gains took place between his junior and senior year of high school. If there's one wart, and it's a small one, Bingaman has shown a tendency to chase and swing at fastballs just about anywhere they come. He's an eager hitter in that regard and will expand the zone to attack the heater. That same anxiousness is not as prevalent against spin. If all goes right Bingaman has a chance to develop into a 'plus' hitter with above average power. He's limited to second base, though he is a solid average runner with athletic actions. His hands and feet are strong enough to play an average second base as a professional. Bingaman's profile isn't too dissimilar from a player like Kevin McGonigle from the 2022 Draft, albeit from the right side. He's limited outside of the batters box, but dynamic in it.

Bingaman is also a right-handed pitcher with a deliberate operation and explosive arm speed through delivery. He does a nice job lulling the opposition to sleep with his slow tempo before exploding through release. Bingaman features a fastball with elite carry, consistently north of 20 inches of IVB. He's been up to 96 with a reliever look and effort at release. His curveball is an exceptional breaker with late, sharp depth with above-average spin. It's a swing-and-miss arsenal featuring near perfect seam-mirroring and tunnel. Bingaman will flash an upper-80s changeup when he has to, but he's mostly a two-pitch artist. Given the effort in his delivery and two-pitch menu most foresee a high-leverage bullpen future for the Redlands product, but a credit to Bingaman, he may be one of the more impressive bullpen projections in the class.

Brock Sell
Tokay

HOMETOWN: Stockton, California

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Stanford

Sell is a dynamic two-way athlete with projection and traits on both sides of the ball though just about everyone agrees he belongs at the top of a lineup somewhere. Offensively there's plenty to like where he's a plus runner out of the box with a tight turn and a path that plays to all fields. Sell has performed as good or better than just about all of his peers and has a proven track record against both spin and high-tier velocity. It's unlikely to ever be more than average power, but bulls think there's potential for a double-plus hit tool. He's been one of the more consistent performers on the tournament circuit for the last calendar year and the offensive traits continue to trend upward.

Sell is a talented centerfielder who takes strong reads and looks comfortable out there. He is an instinctual player with a high IQ and gets high marks for his attitude and focus on the field. He is on the older side of the class and will turn 19 years old just a couple months after the draft.

Sell is expected to be an extremely difficult sign away from his commitment to Stanford.

Jordan Serrano
The Stony Brook

HOMETOWN: Somerdale, New Jersey

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 199

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Wake Forest

Serrano has really quick hands at the plate and does a tremendous job of staying short and quick into the zone and extending long through it. It's easy above-average to 'plus' raw power and he's showcasing it in games. There's been some issues handling breaking balls in the short sample size he's put in front of scouts and he'll occasionally look like a guess hitter and locked up at the plate. That said, the work against fastballs has been so dominant, the intrigue on the profile going forward continues to elevate.

Serrano is a good athlete with a long, athletic gait and a shot to play a corner outfield spot going forward. He's easily a 'plus' runner who is a physical specimen who could conceivably slow down a tick before he arrives to the big leagues.

If the hit tool continues to track in the right direction, he could be bought away from his Wake Forest commitment in the July. The tools are clear as day, now polishing them up in game will be key. Serrano will turn 19 years old just after the draft.

41 RHP
Marcos Paz
Hebron

HOMETOWN: Carrollton, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Paz has long been on the radar of scouts going back to his freshman year in high school. A talented right-handed with an ultra-quick arm, Paz has been up to 95 with an easy operation and a reputation punch batters out. He'll get a little squirrely at times as his control and command will waver, but he's been pretty tough to square up when he's on his game. Paz's slider is a good one registering north of 2800 rpm at times, and he'll sprinkle in a mid-80s changeup to righties with some late life running away. Paz has a longer arm action, but everything he does is buttery smooth, if not a bit inefficient for the time being. As he works to engage his lower half and become more physical with his delivery, he could throw very, very hard. Unfortunately Paz underwent Tommy John surgery slowing his prospect ascent.

42 OF/LHP
Brock Ketelsen
Valley Christian

HOMETOWN: Scotts Valley, California

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 202

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Stanford

Ketelsen is how you draw them up in terms of frame and projection. Already a physical profile, Ketelsen has long levers and a high waist that point toward more strength and impact at the plate on the way. He's already hitting pitches with authority, and his bat speed dwarfs that of most of his comparable peers right now. Ketelsen extends well through the zone and creates stretch in his swing, showcasing his athleticism. He covers the outside part of the zone with ease, and is strong and polished enough to pull his hands through pitches on the inner black, keeping them pull-side. It's one of the better swings in the class, and it projects.

Ketelsen is a long-strider with 'plus' speed. He's got an above average arm and takes strong routes in the outfield, gliding to the spot and staying behind the baseball. He's got a chance to develop into an above average all-around defender. Very mature approach to fielding. Ketelsen has a chance to develop into 5 tools, and represents one of the better ceilings in the 2025 class.

Some scouts prefer Ketelsen on the mound where his 6-foot-4-inch frame and left-handedness has scouts intrigued. Ketelsen has been up to 93 with a metrically appealing fastball and a slider that tunnels well off the pitch with average command and deeper shape. Ketelsen has a higher slot that can surprise hitters out of the hand.

43 RHP
Brody Walls
McKinney Boyd

HOMETOWN: McKinney, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 180

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

Walls is a solid athlete on the mound with a quiet, repeatable delivery and budding stuff. He's already touching 96 with a buttery operation, living at the top of the zone inducing whiffs with his high-spin fastball that he'll cut and run depending on the handedness of the hitter. There's a low-80s slider here that he spins well, and when he commands it, it's a swing-and-miss weapon. Walls doesn't have prototypical size for a starting pitcher, but his feel for the fastball and ease of mechanics point toward a bright future.

44 RHP
Angel Cervantes
Warren

HOMETOWN: Lynwood, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UCLA

Cervantes is a tremendous athlete who is beginning to hone in on what he's capable of on the mound, finding a more repeatable delivery and filling up the strikezone with more consistency and authority. He's up to 94 and will live 90-91 with life at the top rail and darting action away from left-handed bats. His go-to weapon is a big upper-70s bender with huge two-plane tilt, more sweeping action than depth. He's shown good feel for the pitch and it'll flash 'plus' consistently. He'll need to firm it up just a bit for the breaker to reach it's 60-grade ceiling, but it's in the tank. Cervantes has also flashed an upper-70s changeup that has shape albeit lacking consistency.

Cervantes has a good arm and solid actions on the bump. Continued improvement in the strike-throwing department, as well as further development of the tertiary changeup, will dictate where scouts place his name in July 2025. Regardless of draft status, his commitment to UCLA should serve as a solid back-up plan. Cervantes will be just 17 years old on draft day, something scouts will unquestionably weigh in their evaluation. He's a model darling with a breaking ball most of his peers envy.

45 SS
CJ Hughes
Serra

HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, California

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 163

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UC Santa Barbara

The first thing that sticks out when scouting Hughes is the twitch in his game. He's a rhythmic switch-hitter who has presence in the box. He's got ability from both sides and has a legitimate chance to continue hitting from both sides as a pro. It's certainly more hitterish with an emphasis on putting the ball in play, grinding at-bats from the right side. But from the left side there's more impact and enough bat speed and projection to foresee fringe-average game power once fully matured. Hughes wasn't a prominent name on the showcase and tournament circuit in 2024, so scouts will have to hustle to get a look at him as July approaches, but it's pretty clear there's some tools on the offensive side of the ball.

Defensively, Hughes' hands stand out. He's got soft, smooth actions and rounds through the baseball nicely. His actions around the pillow are advanced and he has the look of a potential above average defender on the dirt.

Hughes won't turn 18 until October after the draft, so model teams will be on him from that angle.

46 OF
Ty Peeples
Franklin County

HOMETOWN: Lavonia, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 178

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia

Peeples is an intriguing offensive prospect with impressive athletic traits and plenty of impact to project going forward. Peeples generates a ton of whip in the box and has a bat path built for damage. He creates stretch with a long stride, though he still manages to keep his hands tight to the body making compact turns, driving the baseball with authority. Peeples posts some fairly gaudy exit velocity numbers. He can get to just about any quadrant and has shown the ability to handle spin as well. There's real hand speed here and his rotational torque points to a guy who could eventually play with above average game power. Peeples is a long strider with fringy-to-average speed on the bases. He seems to be most comfortable in left and right field where his stride and speed play best. There's been some run at second and third base, though he's a more natural fit in the outfield.

47 2B/OF
Philip Cheong
Bill Crothers Secondary

HOMETOWN: Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada

HEIGHT: 5-10

WEIGHT: 170

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Stanford

Cheong is a disruptor. It's the most apt description of his game. He pesters the opposition with his play.

Offensively this is a kid who catches a ton of barrels. He's not the biggest or the tallest player on the field, but he's fearless in every sense of the word. He'll step into the box against any pitcher and give them hell. It's unlikely to ever blossom into anything more than 40-grade raw power when all is said and done, but Cheong has a way of getting to what he's got in the tank in games. He has feel for the pull-side and will take what the pitcher gives him. This is an exciting young hitter who should be a high-performer assuming he makes it to school.

Defensively his game really shines in the outfield. Cheong puts his body on the line to save a run. He's consistently posting 'plus' run times and can occasionally flash double-plus upside that he may eventually get into with added strength and development. He relishes the opportunity to steal a base hit with diving catches and seems to make the fundamental decisions necessary to be a full-time player. It's hard to say where his draft stock will sit should he make it to campus, but for now he's got a chance to go in the middle of day two, though it's hard to imagine an organization will be able to pay him away from his commitment to school.

Trent Grindlinger
Huntington Beach

HOMETOWN: Huntington Beach, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 210

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Mississippi State

Grindlinger is a physically imposing backstop with a short, explosive swing and an opposite-field approach. The bat really projects and could eventually hit for power at the next level. Grindlinger is a big body and time will tell whether his frame can survive behind the plate, but he does have a strong arm and is well-regarded by scouts in the Southern California region for his chops behind the plate.

49 SS/RHP
Diego Velasquez
Crespi Carmelite

HOMETOWN: Reseda, California

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Southern California

Velasquez is certainly one of those prospects that passes the eyeball test. He's got a prototype frame with a high waist, broad, squared-off shoulders and really looks the part of a big league caliber ballplayer. He's physical and gifted from an athleticism standpoint.

Velasquez has a raw left-handed swing, but does possess inarguable legitimate bat speed. His swing will change from at-bat to at-bat but it flashes considerable impact upside when he's on time and seeing the ball well. His path is inconsistent and too often his attack angle will descend through the zone, but it's not far from being potent. There's too much swing and miss on spin and velocity in on his hands right now, though that should improve as he matures and adds strength in his upper-half. Velasquez has swing traits scouts can project forward despite showing inconsistencies in tournament and showcase settings. While questions on the hit tool will likely follow him all the way up the developmental ladder, the tools surrounding the bat have scouts intrigued.

Velasquez routinely posts average run times, though scouts and trainers think he can clock into a different gear with professional development considering his athletic test scores and stride. The actions on the dirt are strong but unrefined. It's 'plus' arm strength with carry across the diamond as well as strong actions that play best at third base. He has solid direction and footwork. Velasquez's hands handle the routine play, though his fundamentals on ground balls are hit his way can get sketchy. Considering his age and lack of reps at third base that is to be expected and should be something that can be improved. Velasquez has the tools to develop into a solid average defender at the hot corner.

Over the past twelve months more and more scouts have begun to buy into his upside on the mound. Velasquez has been up to 96 on the bump with an operation that is almost entirely arm-talent based. He's yet to engage his lower half in his delivery and could eventually flirt with triple-digits in short outings. Velasquez has shown the makings of a breaking ball and will flip over the ocassional changeup to lefties. He has the look of a late-inning reliever.

"Projection" will be a big theme as July approaches for Velasquez. He will be just 17 years old on draft day and won't turn 18 years old until well after the 2025 season has ended, a feather in his cap in terms of his draft value from a model perspective. Velazquez has some work to do in terms of polishing up the offensive profile, but scouts see the upside and he should get plenty of attention in the Draft.

50 LHP
Jack McKernan
Ridge Point

HOMETOWN: Missouri City, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

McKernan is a relentless strike-thrower with a simple, repeatable delivery and strong drop-and-drive toward the plate. He'll live in the low-90s, grabbing 96 at his peak, with heavy, boring action in on left-handed hitters. He's one of the more polished breaking ball throwers in the class, a low-80s two-plane slider with more sweep than depth. He'll also mix in a changeup in a similar velocity bucket. McKernan possesses serious conviction and arm speed in his entire arsenal, epitomizing what "pitching" rather than purely throwing on the bump. Scouts love the player. He's worked hard to add strength and eliminate some effort and whack at release and represents one of the more notable jumps this spring for scouts.

51 OF
William Patrick
St. Frederick

HOMETOWN: Monroe, Louisiana

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Patrick is more physically advanced than most of his peers with considerable strength and mature actions in his offensive game. It's a short, compact stroke with significant bat speed and power to all fields albeit with some stiffness in his rotation. Patrick demolishes mistakes on the inner third and has shown over-the-fence juice going back to his freshman year at St. Frederick. There is some swing-and-miss in his game, but he's a mature, patient hitter who is also quite willing to take his walks. Patrick is already a 70-grade runner with tremendous lateral burst and a plus throwing arm in the outfield. He can play any of the three outfield roles, though most scouts expect him to settle in to right field where he could be an above average defender. This is tools and athletic testing supreme. He will be 19.1 years old for the Draft.

52 RHP
Ethan Baiotto
Southlake Carroll

HOMETOWN: Southlake, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 205

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Tennessee

Baiotto makes the art of pitching look rather easy. He'll get up on the mound and just start playing catcher with his battery mate, peppering the strike zone with a looseness and fluidity rare among his peers. The whole operation is easy and effortless. Baiotto doesn't allow the game to speed up on him. Combine the pitchability with the long, tall, athletic frame and there's the makings of a legitimate starting pitcher at the next level.

Baiotto has been up to 94 with a heavy heater featuring darting action and occasionally generating later life through the zone. He has tremendous feel for the arm-side and is willing to pitch inside to right-handed hitters. The fastball projects an above average pitch so long as he eventually lives 92-95 like many scouts anticipate he will. The slider is his best pitch; a mid-80s breaker with late, sharp, shorter two-plane bite. It lives in the fastball tunnel deep into its approach make it extremely difficult for hitters to pick up. It's every bit that of a future 'plus' offering and has performed as such to this point in his amateur career. There's also a mid-80s changeup that flashes real potential though his consistency and feel for that pitch don't quite match the fastball/slider combo just yet.

Baiotto generates slightly above average extension down the mound and repeats his delivery nicely. There's still lower hanging fruit in his delivery to extract more velocity, such as firming up his lead leg block. It's possible Baiotto could improve his extension and lead leg block simultaneously and unlock an entirely new gear. Even if that doesn't happen we're talking about a pro frame with a loose arm and an action that really works on the bump. It's already two above average offerings with feel for a breaking ball that can be difficult to find. He's got day one upside if he continues to blossom as July approaches.

53 LHP
Jack Bauer
Lincoln Way East

HOMETOWN: Frankfort, Illinois

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 175

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Virginia

Bauer is a projection play on the mound with a long, lanky, southpaw frame and a repeatable delivery that allows him to fill up the zone. Bauer generally lives 90-91, but will grab 95 at his peak with arm-side run and sinking action. He generates north of six feet of extension down the mound and should develop more fastball value as he gets stronger. The breaking ball continues to trend up featuring well-above average spin traits with multiple shapes and adjustability in sweeping the baseball. It's a slow, deliberate operation with an exaggerated, methodical leg lift, a quiet hand break and a starter look down the bump. If Bauer begins throwing harder (and potentially moving a little faster) and generates more whiff value from his arsenal as July approaches his name could jump up boards into day one consideration. He's one of the safer starting pitcher prospects in this class. Scouts love the frame and the upside.

54 SS/RHP
Linkin Garcia
A3 Academy

HOMETOWN: Bradenton, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 198

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas Tech

Garcia is an ultra-aggressive hitter who isn't afraid to expand the strikezone to put the game in motion. It serves his toolset well, however. Garcia has some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the class and can get the barrel to just about any pitch in any location. He struggled to a certain degree impacting curveballs in his amateur career, but just about everything else is covered and hit hard. Garcia lets the ball travel and prefers to use the right-center field gap as his target. He's yet to realize his raw power and instead takes the ball the other way almost exclusively. There's the potential for above-average to plus bat speed here, but Garcia is too often unwilling to go after it in games. Scouts like the upside in the bat, though he'll have to prove he can impact the baseball and lift it for damage before July to capitalize on what is top-five round tools.

Garcia is a fringy runner and has above average arm strength. His actions are that of a left-side infielder featuring quick hands and good work through the ball. His feet work well on the diamond despite what is expected to be a larger-framed infielder.

As if the gifts on the dirt weren't strong enough, Garcia is also up to 96 on the mound with the makings of a sweeping breaking ball. His draft profile will come down to whether the bat takes a leap as July approaches, but he checks several other boxes.

55 SS
Boston Kellner
Pine Creek

HOMETOWN: Colorado Springs, Colorado

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Kellner is a steady ballplayer with a short, compact, tight turn on the baseball and a track record of putting the ball in play. He leverages his back hip well and generates solid leverage at the plate, shooting balls into the left-center gap with authority. Kellner has a quiet demeanor and does a nice job of slowing the game down. He's an average runner with a really strong first step out of the box and on the base paths. Defensively, he features a solid average glove with clean actions, getting low to the ground and is able to make the plays necessary at the "6". Kellner has an average arm and a more physical frame. He's likely destined for second or third base at the next level, but could serve as a servicable shortstop in a pinch. He's solid fundamentally. Kellner will be 19 years old for the draft.

HEIGHT: 5-9

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Wake Forest

Pound for pound, Melendez has some of the most impressive actions you can find in the 2025 class. He's got buggy hips and electric bat speed coming from a ton of stretch and extension in a powder-keg swing. He has above-average bat-to-ball skills and a feel for pulling the ball with authority. Melendez is only 5-foot-9, but he's got bounce on the dirt and quick hands that allow him to potentially stick at shortstop long term. His ultimate ability to play shortstop will be dictated by his range, but the arm strength projects above average, and he can make just about every throw. Melendez projects a solid-to-above average runner. Melendez will likely be a sum-of-his-parts type of contributor who gets the most out of his tools through hard work and an relentless attitude. He's a favorite inside the scouting community. He'll be just 17.7 years old for the Draft and is likely going to be a model target for teams early on day two.

Serna is your classic strong-armed, big power backstop. It's comfortably a plus arm strength behind the plate, and his exit velocities point toward a potential slugger at the next level. The hit tool is still a work in progress, but has taken strides in the last 12 months according to scouts who have seen him. Serna's home could eventually land on the mound where he's been up to 94 mph. The raw power is the calling card here, however. It could eventually become double-plus raw. Serna will be 18.5 on draft day.

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Notre Dame

A standout at the Area Code Games Underclass event in 2023 and again at upperclass in 2024, Crowell gives hitters an uncomfortable look with long limbs and an unorthodox arm action that can be tough for hitters to pick up the ball. A lot of uneasy swings against Crowell. He's been up to 94 with a high-spin heater featuring sink and some tail. An upper-70s slider possesses significant depth and some sweeping traits when he gets around the pitch as well. There's also a mid-70s changeup that tunnels well off the fastball and can fall out of the sky when right. Crowell is a slingshot pitcher who has some low-hanging fruit in terms of throwing harder in the coming years, specifically with repeating his landing spot and ironing out some directional mechanics. If he adds a tick more velocity as the draft approaches, he's got a shot to go in the Top 100 picks in July. Caden's father Jim pitched in professional baseball for nine seasons and appeared in ten games for the Reds, Phillies and Marlins.

Ethan Moore
Oak Park River Forest

HOMETOWN: River Forest, Illinois

HEIGHT: 6-0

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Tennessee

Moore is a disruptive player at the top of the lineup with an ultra-aggressive in-zone approach. He hardly ever whiffs and puts the game in motion early and often in the first few pitches of all of his at bats. Moore hunts for his pitch and hardly ever misses it stroking liners into both gaps with authority. He's a dead-red fastball hitter and can handle spin when he has time to adjust to the plan for his at-bats. Moore's swing is also adjustable with the ability to get to all four quadrants and he'll routinely take the ball to the field where it's pitched. There are components that point toward an above-average or better hit tool here, albeit lacking a meaty sample size. Moore has 40 grade raw power and isn't getting to it in games just yet. He'll register EVs north of 100 mph though he's in no rush to lift the baseball and create backspin at this early stage of his career. He projects a frustrating out toward the top or bottom of a professional lineup.

Moore can run as he's registered splits to first base just north of 4.1 seconds. There's 'plus' speed here and the athlete should be able to hold that trait as he continues to mature and add muscle. Moore will occasionally work to steal a base, though it's not highlighted in his game at this stage.

Defensively, Moore has a sound, reliable brand with the glove. He's got above-average actions and tempo at second base with innate feel for the dirt. He's shown strong footwork and rarely throws off-balance. He should be able to stick at the position.

Scouts may nitpick just how much impact Moore will ever grow into at the plate, but the case can be made he'll pester pitches and run strong batting averages with enough on-base and slug to lock down a full-time role at the next level. If he continues to hit as July approaches and holds his speed, he's got a shot to request fourth round money in the Draft.

Nico Partida
Pearland

HOMETOWN: Manvel, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Partida is exceptionally talented on both sides of the ball and could end up playing the middle infield or pitching at the next level. On the bump he's touched 97 and will hold 91-93 into the sixth inning of work. He's capable of clicking into another gear as the game gets late with big spots too having shown the ability to touch 95 after 80 pitches of work. It's sink and tail with tons of groundballs. He'll fold in a mid-70s curve that lacks firmness, but does feature bigger two-plane shape. There's also a low-80s changeup that he's still working to fully polish in terms of conviction and arm speed. He's a particularly impressive athlete with tools at shortstop and third base. Partida has soft hands and actions around the pillow that really project. He may eventually outgrow the shortstop position, but his skills should allow him to stay at second or third base. It's 'plus' arm strength and average foot speed that should play anywhere on the diamond. Partida has easy bat speed and flashes solid-average game power to all fields. He could eventually grow into above average over-the-fence upside. Partida is already rather maxed physically and is doesn't possess too much more projection from a physicality perspective. However he's already impacting the game in all facets. He will be 18.7 years old for the Draft.

Sebastian Norman
Glendale

HOMETOWN: Springfield, Missouri

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 225

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma State

An extremely physical force at the plate, Norman is a right-handed masher with huge bat speed and an ease about his swing that can be difficult to find in players his age and size. There's a calmness in the box with some twitch often not seen in players his size. He truly looks like a linebacker at the plate. Norman doesn't have to do much to generate huge exit velocities. It's not just batting practice hype either; Norman punishes pitchers in game. There's a hit tool here with a swing that works from line-to-line.

Norman is a solid average runner with good burst out of the box for his size. A third baseman now, Norman will likely shift to right field at the next level where his arm strength and defensive talents will more aptly fit.

There's obvious concern about the frame and the player slowing down here, but so long as Norman stays on top of his conditioning and stays lean and limber he's got a chance to go in the Top 100 picks in July. It's an impactful hitter with middle-of-the-order upside.

63 3B
Caleb Barnett
Mountain Brook

HOMETOWN: Mountain Brook, Alabama

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 222

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Alabama

A massively powerful third base prospect, Barnett has some of the easiest raw power in the class with exit velocity figures that often dwarf those of his peers. Barnett's power comes from lightning-quick hands that get his barrel into the hitting zone extremely fast. There are questions surrounding the hit tool after a tough summer in 2024 where he showed more whiffs and ground balls than scouts would like to see. But the impact upside is fairly obvious.

Barnett has above average arm strength at the hot corner (and on the mound) and has a chance to stay on the dirt long-term if he doesn't outgrow the position. Scouts were impressed with his frame this spring as he appears to have leaned out and gotten more athletic in the process. He's got decisive actions, soft hands for a player of his size and a good tempo about his game.

Charlie Wilcox
South Walton

HOMETOWN: Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-3

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia Tech

Wilcox is a fantastic mover on the mound with a quality two-pitch mix featuring a fastball up to 94 with arm-side run and an upper-70s breaking ball with big slurvy tendencies. The two pitches tunnel well and have shown effectiveness against both right-handed hitters and lefties alike. Wilcox has flirted with the use of a split-changeup, but hasn't yet developed feel for the pitch. He'll need to continue refining his durability and stamina as the strike-throwing and velocity both regress as he enters the third-inning and beyond on most nights. There are starting pitcher traits here. It's a name that could jump with an uptick in velocity over time.

65 3B
Tim Piasentin
Foothills Composite

HOMETOWN: Okotoks, Alberta, Canada

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 218

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Miami

Piasentin has impressed up north over the course of the last calendar year and has the attention of scouts as July approaches. He's a physical left-handed hitter with above-average raw power as evidenced by his 105 mph exit velocities in games. Piasentin actually went yard against Oregon State RHP Wyatt Queen in a scrimmage in October of 2024 raising eyebrows in the region. It's a swing built with loft and a focus toward pulling the baseball. Piasentin has above-average bat speed that could eventually mature in 'plus' bat speed with further maturation. He's got plenty of strength and leverage in the swing in his lower half and should fill out in the shoulders and arms in the next few years. To date, he's pummelled the fastball and struggled to adjust to breaking balls from good arms. He's usually late against spin and will flip it the other way when he puts it in play.

Piasentin is a primary third baseman who plays a bit heavy-footed when charging the baseball or moving to his right. The hands work, but can look clunky when tested on the move laterally. He's got above-average arm strength and does show deliberate actions on the dirt, though his internal clock is a work in progress. Piasentin is an above-average runner but may slow down as he continues to get more and more physical. He has the look of a potential fringe-average defender at the hot corner at the next level, though he may shift to right field where he'd likely profile as at least a solid-average defender if he takes to the new position. First base is also a last resort if he continues to add size. It's a bat-first profile with considerable strength and power projection from the left side and some sneaky value running the bases.

66 SS
Josh Gibbs
Forsyth Central

HOMETOWN: Cumming, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 166

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia

Gibbs is a slender right-handed hitter with strength in his lower-half and lean muscle in his upper body. He has sloping shoulders and long levers. Given his frame, Gibbs is likely to put on solid strength in his core as he matures. Gibbs is a steady, if not flashy defender on the dirt with enormous arm strength that should challenge the best infielders in the class for the crown in that category. While some of that arm strength plays better in showcase settings than in games, there's little doubt it projects to the left side of the infield going forward. Gibbs is an above average runner with more straight line speed than quickness in his game. There's another gear on the base paths. Gibbs has some bounce and calm to his actions on the dirt. As he ages, the profile might play better at third base with the anticipated strength gains. Offensively, it's pound for pound some of the most explosive actions you'll find in the class. Gibbs has flashed above average raw power with fast hands, quick wrists and twitchy coil. He has exemplary hands that are adjustable and can get to every quadrant with the fat part of the bat. It's a noisy, handsy swing with a lot of moving parts that won't be for everyone, but to this point all he's done is barrel baseballs. Gibbs has shown a patient approach at the plate drawing plenty of walks and using the opposite field in tournament showcases. There's a high ceiling here.

Bruin Agbayani
Iolani

HOMETOWN: Mililani, Hawaii

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Michigan

The son of ex-MLB standout Benny Agbayani, Bruin shares some of the same traits as his father. He can really hit. Agbayani has a compact left-handed swing with strong hands and a short, direct path to the ball. He produces loft organically and does not sell-out to launch the baseball. There's an innate feel to create backspin and he's shown enough strength to flash impact to all-fields. Agbayani is athletic enough to handle second base and could end up there long-term. He may outgrow the middle of the field and end up at either third base or left field in due time. He's an average runner with a fringy arm. He lacks much physical projection at this stage. Scouts really like the bat and believe he could be a reasonably safe high school bet.

Brandon Logan
R Nelson Snider

HOMETOWN: Fort Wayne, Indiana

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Notre Dame

Logan is a tremendous athlete with budding physical tools and plenty of fanfare in the scouting community. A three-sport athlete with ability in every arena, Logan's best bet to go professional may sit on the diamond, but it's entirely up for debate. A double-plus runner who gets higher marks underway than he does out of the box, Logan has a chance to be a menace on the base paths and a real asset in centerfield. He projects to stay in center at the next level where some believe it's plus route-running ability and rangy athleticism. He has the makings of an above-average to plus glove.

Logan employs a squatty, wide stance with a short, compact stroke that he'll play to both gaps. There's definitive raw power developing too. In terms of twitch and bat speed, Logan is pound-for-pound one of the more powerful athletes in the class. He's punished fastballs, but has had a very difficult time making ocntact with breaking balls at this stage in his amateur career. That will need to improve as the Draft approach should he hope to capitalize on his 7-figure bonus ceiling. He should blossom into considerable impact with time and reps. Logan will be 18.6 on draft day.

Josiah Hartshorn
Orange Lutheran

HOMETOWN: Anaheim, California

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 225

BAT/THROW: B-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Hartshorn burst onto the scene as a junior in high school showcasing considerable raw strength and a heavy barrel in showcase settings; parlaying those highlights into in-game noise against good arms. Hartshorn is a switch-hitter who possesses more bat speed from the left side, as well as a tick more polish. He's got a short, compact, powerful stroke that plays to all fields with an exaggerated leg kick allowing him to really use ground force. Hartshorn has some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the class, consistently pummeling opposing pitchers in tournament settings, showcasing game power along the way. He was also a finalist in the 2024 All-Star Game High School Home Run Derby.

He's already extremely physical with broad shoulders, a barrel-chest and a mature lower-half. He may be forced to first base in due time, but for the time being he's handling the outfield in a corner role. An average runner, Hartshorn presently owns an average arm and could stick in right field at the next level.

Grayson Boles
St. Augustine

HOMETOWN: San Diego, California

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 222

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

Boles certainly looks the part of a future workhorse starting pitcher with a strong, muscular frame, broad shoulders and a thick lower half. He features any easy operation with good direction down the bump and a real feel to spin the baseball. The fastball has been up to 95 and generates whiffs both in and outside of the strike zone. It features above average spin rates and some carry through the top rail. Boles throws a hammer curve in the upper 70s that, when commanded, is a true swing-and-miss weapon. And he can really spin the baseball. He'll sometimes search for the release point on the pitch early in outings, but when given the chance to work a lather generally settles in and commands the pitch with average consistency. He's flashed a fading changeup that bores in on right-handers and works away from lefties as well. Boles looks the part of a future starting pitcher with three pitches, two of which should end up above-average or better offerings. Something of a complete package projection here. Boles will be 18.8 for draft day.

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: NC State

Gray is an impossibly fast mover with a lightning quick arm. He's likely to throw triple-digits someday. He possesses a super lean, athletic frame with a high waist and long arms; perfect for his slingshot delivery. Gray will live 93-95 in shorter outings and has been gunned at 97 in his first inning of work. The secondaries are still a work in progress, but the delivery is reasonably easy. Gray is an impressive talent who may possess one of the best fastballs in the prep ranks. He's a talented high school quarterback too who should blossom rather quickly.

72 C/OF
Taitn Gray
Dallas Center-Grimes

HOMETOWN: Grimes, Iowa

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon

Gray is a freight train of an athlete. He's been a major helium player in 2025. He's a barrel of gunpowder. A switch-hitter, Gray has enormous bat speed and raw power from both sides of the plate. Being capable of generating enormous exit velocities from one side is one thing, but having the physical and athletic capability to produce that kind of violence from both sides is unprecedented stuff. There's probably more fluidity in the swing from the left side, but the right side works. From a pure hit tool perspective, Gray is an anxious hitter who has been known to expand the zone, but whiffs haven't been a huge part of his game at this point either. He's been a difficult eval for scouts and analysts in the Iowa region as Gray didn't participate in tournaments or showcases much at all in 2024. His profile has only elevated as he's gotten older and added more and more strength and athleticism. At this stage, much of the emphasis on his upside is being dictated by what he does in high school league play, as well as predictive athletic testing.

Gray isn't just a slugger though. He's posted impressive run times with a lumbering running style. He looks like a University of Michigan tight end running routes. Thus, the freight train label. Most see Gray as an above-average runner now, but forecast a slowdown as he continues to get bigger and matures. The athlete won't disappear, however Gray may settle in more as an average runner. His chops behind the plate are passable. He has above average arm strength, but his footwork and speed out of the crouch will need to improve if he hopes to catch at the next level. Gray has exceptional versatility however, some believing he'll still be an average to solid-average defender in the outfield.

Gray won't turn 18 years old until a month after the draft. He'll be a model darling and could hear his name called in the top 100 picks if teams buy into the projection of the athlete.

Aidan West
Long Reach

HOMETOWN: Long Reach, Maryland

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: NC State

Enormous physical tools on the offensive side of the game, West has tremendous bat speed, fast hands and above average speed to go along with the ever-sought left-handed swing. West got extremely physical entering his junior year of high school and immediately became a more impactful offensive performer. There's considerable strength throughout his 6-foot-1-inch frame and it shows in top-of-the-scale exit velocities. West is now physically maxed but it hardly matters considering the impact he's putting on inside the batters box. West will likely end up at second or third base at the next level -- a bat-first infielder. There's something of a Luis Rengifo type of profile here.

74 SS
Jackson Reardon
Covington Catholic

HOMETOWN: Hebron, Kentucky

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Cincinnati

Reardon is a bat-first infield prospect with strong components in his game to project to the next level. He's got a smooth, right-handed swing that naturally lifts the ball. Reardon creates uphill plane without collapsing his back shoulder. He's got loose hands and some adjustability in his swing that allows him to grind and work deep at-bats. Reardon's size and length is already producing 'plus' bat speed, and there may be more in the tank. He's got a long frame with a high waist and some projection remaining in his lower half. If everything comes together at the next level, Reardon could be a 25-homer threat. Scouts would like to see his hit tool get a bit more selective as the draft approaches as the one knock on his approach is his willingness to expand the zone too often.

Reardon is a long-strider with an athletic gait. He runs like a guy 20 pounds lighter than he is. While only a solid-average runner now, some scouts believe Reardon could eventually blossom into an above-average or even 'plus' runner with more formal speed training. He's a rangy defender who gets the most out of his length. He makes the routine play at shortstop with a calm demeanor. There's smoothness in his hands and actions. It's only average arm strength and Reardon could eventually shift to third base if he gets too much bigger, but the traits he's shown on the dirt should translate beautifully to the hot corner. He's a player that should hold his athleticism into his pro career.

Luke LaCourse
Bay City Western

HOMETOWN: Bay City, Michigan

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 205

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Michigan State

The case can be made Lacourse throws the most diabolical breaking ball in the class. Or at a minimum, he flashes the potential to build that superlative. LaCourse's breaking ball will sizzle to the plate north of 3500 rpm in the low 80s. It possesses enormous two-plane break with exceptional sweeping action. It's a whiff machine.

LaCourse isn't a one-trick pony though. His fastball has been up to 94 and he'll sit 90-91 with significant carry through the zone. He's a strike-thrower and challenges hitters. He rounds out the arsenal with a mid-80s changeup that still needs work, as well as an upper-80s cutter. It's a fairly complete menu, especially if the changeup comes along.

LaCourse doesn't extend well down the mound and may need to rely on that breaking ball at the next level. His delivery is leveraged by big arm speed. Repeatability and fluidity are still coming together, and they could improve when he takes to baseball full-time.

Scouts are bullish on what LaCourse could develop into once he gives up basketball and focuses on the mound. For now, he has the look of a high-leverage reliever, though you won't find a team who will draft him as such. If someone buys into even marginal odds of a starter, LaCourse could get popped early.

Lafflam is a long, slender righty with considerable projection, though the stuff is already present with an up arrow. He features an unusual delivery where he throws across his body, hiding the ball well and supinating almost all of his pitches. The fastball is already up to 94, and he'll work it away from righties with some late cut and depth. He spins the hell out of the ball posting well, well-above average spin rates. There's a mid-70s slurvy curveball as well, and he'll use it to put hitters away. It's an unorthodox operation and look for hitters. If he can develop a third pitch, preferably a changeup that can be used under right-handed hitters' hands, it could be a devastating arsenal.

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

While McKenzie hasn't seen the velocity spike that scouts have been waiting for for a couple years yet, he's one of the better pitchers in the 2025 class. He pounds the zone with authority and mixes up three pitches to both right-handed and left-handed hitters. Presently, he doesn't possess a dynamic bat-missing weapon, but his arsenal keeps hitters uncomfortable in the box and draws some pretty bad swings and even worse takes. The fastball is routinely 87-89, up to 92 at his peak. His curveball is a good one, landed to both sides of the plate, working vertically as well. There's a changeup in here too, and it's more effective to right-handed bats as McKenzie can spot his heater arm-side with authority. This is a high-floor arm who could pitch countless innings at LSU, but if the velocity spikes between now and July, his name could be a popular one in the draft. Definitive starter traits, a good frame, and a good delivery and consistent operation. He checks a ton of boxes.

Caeden Cloud
Nixa

HOMETOWN: Nixa, Missouri

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 198

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Kentucky

It''s pretty remarkable how physical Caeden Cloud has become in the last two years. He's tacked on close to 40 pounds of muscle in high school and now represents a truly imposing force in the box. What was once long legs, a high waist and thinner levers has transformed into well-distributed strength and impactful muscle in the lower-half.

That weight and mass shows in the batters box. Cloud is an impressive hitter with a reasonably elite approach in the box. He hardly ever chases outside of the zone and picks his spots. He susceptible to being fooled by breaking pitches, but when he's on time it's a swing that plays to all fields. Cloud has a simple setup with a higher back elbow and a little waggle. He has an extremely mild leg kick and drops his hands into position without any wasted movement. It's a setup, load and operation that should translate well into professional baseball. His bat path can vary depending on the pitch type and that's led to a higher-than-average ground ball rate in showcase and tournament settings, something he'll want to shore up at the next level if he's to get his above-average raw power into game settings more often.

Cloud has true actions on the dirt with arm strength and an arm action that'll allow him to stay on the left side of the infield. He's an average runner with a decent first step and average lateral mobility. He may ultimately shift to second or third base if a more superior athlete slides in at the '6'. Still, at this stage in his career it's extremely safe to assume this is a professional infielder and there's very little risk of a shift to the outfield.

Cloud can really hit and seems to have a tremendous understanding of the strikezone. He has a plan at the plate and should see his impact in the box continue to climb and he's exposed to more and more arms with premium stuff in college or in the professional game. He's got all the components of a regular at the big league level.

HEIGHT: 6-2

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon State

Potentially the next in a long line of decorated Oregon State bats, Porter will get plenty of draft interest before possibly landing in Corvallis. Porter has considerable raw power and is recognized as one of the best pure hitters on the West Coast for 2025. It's a balanced stance and moderate knee-bend with twitchiness in his lower half producing stretch through the hitting zone. Porter has some noise in his load that can vary depending on the pitcher, but he's almost always on time. He's an above average runner with an above average throwing arm. A third baseman by trade, Porter possesses a strong internal clock and fundamentals necessary to handle the position. Several evaluators like the profile in the outfield at the next level where some believe he could grade out as 'plus'. As things presently stand, he's comfortably an average defender at the hot corner and could be better than that in a corner. It's not a foregone conclusion he doesn't pitch at the next level either. Porter returned from Tommy John in 2024 and has been up to 93 mph. This is a kid that can do a little bit of everything very well, including performing well in athletic testing. Perhaps Porter's biggest hurdle in the draft will be his age. At 19.4 years old, he'll be one of the older draft-eligible preps available in 2025. He'd be draft eligible again as a Beaver in 2027 if he went unselected.

A big, tall, physical right-handed pitcher with stuff that has begun to explode, Yoder looks like he could develop into one of the premium workhorse arms in the 2025 class. Yoder is already brushing 99 and will settle in more comfortably 92-94 in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings or work. Yoder largely has average control and command of his fastball and it features vanilla shape so it's unlikely to ever be a truly dynamic weapon. Given the velocity however, it's safe to say Yoder may have an above average heater in a starters' role. His curveball is the go-to breaker; a low-to-mid 80s deep bender with feel to the glove-side. There's also a changeup that he uses sparingly. Yoder has some stiffness in his spine though he's a good athlete with a big leg kick that provides a bit of deception and funk. The curveball specifically seems to play well off his operation. Yoder is expectedly to be an extremely difficult sign away from his educational commitment to Duke.

Mason Ligenza
Tamaqua Area

HOMETOWN: Brockton, Pennsylvania

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 204

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Pittsburgh

Mason Ligenza checks an enormous amount of boxes. He's got size, speed, a long left-handed bat with ground force and bat speed. Ligenza is still growing into his frame and at times his swing can be slow-to-trigger, but he creates considerable speed through the zone and possesses the loft players of his size can sometimes struggle to get to. He's unpolished offensively and will employ a different swing on a nightly basis. Ligenza is at his best when he creates space in the box and locks into a firm front side and works to the middle of the field. He can get in trouble when he starts pulling his front hip off the baseball as he sells out to launch pull-side. That cheating has created considerable pull-side power on pitches on the outer-third, but he'll find himself stuck on velocity on the inner-third. The raw power and overall power potential/projection is fairly obvious.

Ligenza is a long-strider with some athleticism still on the way. He's presently an above average runner with a stiffer gait. It's average arm strength with the potential for average defensive tools, maybe a tick more if the athleticism upticks with added strength and training. There's something of a Dominic Canzone aesthetic to his game.

HEIGHT: 6-3

BAT/THROW: R-R

Jesperson came on late during the fall of 2024 opening eyes of scouts in the Wisconsin area with some side bullpens flashing big stuff. He's been up to 95 with carry and some arm-side tailing action that he likes to land glove-side. He's more routinely 89-91 in game settings after the first inning. Jesperson will play with his fastball shape at times too, sometimes pronating through a sinker creating above average arm-side sinking action.

An upper-70s slider is his best secondary. It's a sweeping breaker that'll flirt with 2800 rpm and elite lateral tilt when he gets around it. It's got the makings of a 'plus' pitch if he can continue to firm it up and polish up repeating his release point. There's also a changeup launch out of a slightly different slot. It'll flash above-average shape with considerable fading action; however he'll need to learn not to broadcast the pitch if he hopes to maximize its effectiveness.

Jesperson has components to like on the mound. The arm action is on the longer side, but there's looseness and whippy action through release. He creates average extension and displays athleticism in his hips/shoulders. He's mostly on time, though he's late occasionally on the breaking ball. All things that are easy to shore up in time. Jesperson is also a decorated basketball player and a deadeye three-point shooter.

Coy James might not have a plus carrying tool, but he's a gamer and always seems to be in the middle of a rally. He's an aggressive offensive player who takes his walks and sprays the ball line to line though strikeouts have become a more prevalent part of his game in the tournament and showcase circuit the last calendar year. Adapting to consistently seeing bigger and better stuff will be a development for James. He has slugged at times, however.

Mitchell shows an exciting combination of bat speed and athleticism in his game that should hold up well up the middle of the diamond. Mitchell is short into the zone and long through it, extending well and delivery ringing blows into gaps. Defensively, he receives the ball well and works though his frame toward the target with conviction. He's shown aptness on ball to his left and right and his average arm strength has a shot to stick on the left side of the infield, especially if he can hold his twitch at the "6".

Ruckert is a talented prep shortstop with huge athleticism starting from his lower half. Ruckert has loose, twitchy hips that allow him to really turn on the baseball and showcase what some figure to be average-or-better raw power in due time. His swing is built for damage, but he doesn't sellout for loft either. There's hit-ability here with a pull-side approach. The bat should perform so long as his chase rates continue to trend in the right direction as they have over the last 18 months. Ruckert is a smooth defender who could end up on the dirt or in the outfield. He's glides about the dirt and could feasibly stick at shortstop in an average capacity, though some see a Jake Cronenworth-esque total package at second base. He projects an average runner with an average throwing arm. How his body grows into his frame over time will likely dictate where he ends up on the diamond.

Brett Crossland
Mountain Pointe

HOMETOWN: Phoenix, Arizona

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 225

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

Arizona has pumped out a lot of seriously talented players in recent years and Crossland appears to be the next arm in line. A 6-foot-5 righty with huge stuff, the Mountain Pointe product is already grabbing 96 with a big 78 mph curveball. Considering his size, age, and the long levers, Crossland has a ways to go in terms of syncing up all the moving parts in his delivery and getting to a place where he can repeat well over multiple innings, but there may not be a more naturally gifted talented pitcher in the 2025 class if the draft were today.

Nick Frusco
Miller Place

HOMETOWN: Miller Place, New York

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 205

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Clemson

Frusco is an exciting left-handed pitching prospect with budding stuff and a quality fastball that often stumps the opposition. He's up to 94 with considerable carry through the zone with some late arm-side tail that can keep hitters off the barrel. Not that hitters can catch up with the fastball at all. On most nights Frusco is inducing late, weak swings on heaters jumping over the barrel. He hides the ball well despite employing a delivery featuring early hand-break. By the time Frusco gets his foot down his arm is locked into the slot and his safely on time. He creates tough angles. Frusco toys with a lesser 2-seamer in the upper-80s but his best secondaries are a sweeping low-80s slider with solid tilt and a mid-80s changeup that works off the heater rather than possessing innately unique shape. It's three pitches (four if you include the supplementary fastball), all of which flash. Frusco's strikes are still fringy at best and he's living on stuff rather than pitchability, but scouts like the size, upside and inherent pitchability. He'll be young for the class, barely 18 years old.

88 RHP
Reid Worley
Cherokee

HOMETOWN: Canton, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Kennesaw State

Worley is a tall, leaned frame righty with long arm and he's continued adding strength and stuff at every turn. He shows tons of projection and features the kind of pitchability scouts look for in a starting pitcher at the next level. It's four pitches, all of them landed for strikes. Worley will brush 94 right now, but he's largely 89-92 with some some carry and feel for pitching to the glove-side. Both breaking balls are thrown in the zone; his low-80s curveball being a real weapon with sweeping shape flashing spin rates north of 3000 rpm at peak. It's fairly massive two-plane tilt and Worley is willing to throw it at-will. It's every bit that of a future 'plus' breaker, maybe better if he can continue to firm it up with even more velocity. It could be the best breaking ball in the class. There's a changeup deployed to left-handed hitters that really tunnels well off the heat, fading into the opposite batters box. Worley will be nearly 19 years old for the draft, but it hardly matters as he's dominated the competition for the better part of twelve months now.

Mario Magana
G. Holmes Braddock

HOMETOWN: Miami, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Miami

Magana is an exceptionally physical player with a high ceiling offensively. A switch-hitter, most of the violence and raw power comes from the left side where he's posted easy triple-digit exit velocity readings in BP. It's bat speed you cannot teach. Magana leverages hard into the ground and creates mammoth pull-side fly balls. Tons of strength in the hands and core at the point of impact. He'll sellout to punish the baseball. He's a bit of a bull in a China shop in that regard. Catching him on the right day can drop jaws. Magana is also a plus runner whose speed plays on the bases and in space in the field. A primary shortstop now, most expect he'll move to third base or into the outfield at some point. Should it be the latter, his speed would immediately become more valuable and his hands would be less tested than they presently are. While there is some refinement required in the total package here, you'd be hard-pressed to find another player in the 2025 class with as many natural gifts as Magana possesses.

90 OF
William Mahala
Seton Hall Prep

HOMETOWN: West Orange, New Jersey

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Virginia

Mahala certainly looks the part in the box. He's got a quiet, crouched stance with calm hands and an imposing demeanor with the look of someone trying to do damage. There are some shades of a young Mike Moustakas in the swing. Nice and compact to the pull-side when he's locked in. Mahala lacks the polish of a guy like Moustakas at this stage, but he does have more than enough athleticism to make up for what still needs to develop. He's a 'plus' runner with solid arm strength packed into a strong, 6-foot-2-inch frame. He has the ability to play any of the three outfield spots at the next level.

Mahala is an aggressive hitter who will expand the zone and does have a good bit of swing and miss in his game. Fastballs above the belt have given him fits in tournament play.

If he shores up the whiffs and strikeouts as July approaches, it's top-100 pick tools.

91 LHP
Talon Haley
Lewisburg

HOMETOWN: Olive Branch, Mississippi

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Vanderbilt

Haley is probably one of the closest pitchers in the 2025 class that will be considered a "finished product" when the draft approaches. He'll turn 19 seven months prior to the draft. Because of that, he'll need to perform at a high level. He's been up to 95, but it's his low-80s curveball that is his go-to weapon with depth and some tunneling traits. There's also a low-80s changeup, though he's been reluctant to throw that pitch as much in game settings, however in showcase settings it's really popped.

Haley launches from a low slow and generates good extension down the bump. He's an uncomfortable at-bat for left-handed hitters. He does have a Tommy John surgery in the rearview mirror, something teams will need to weigh, but the stuff is good.

92 LHP
Aiden Stillman
Trinity Prep

HOMETOWN: Winter Park, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Virginia

Stillman saw his stuff take a jump during his junior year propelling his name all over scout follow lists. He's up to 95 and will rest 90-92 with some late hop and tail on the heater. It's been a pitch that's been effective in garnering in-zone whiffs. Stillman has a high-spin arsenal that begins with his 2500 rpm fastball. The slider is projectable with spin rates north of 2800 rpm and shape. He has less feel and command for the breaking ball than he does the heater, but it should come. It's above-average traits. Stillman has a longer arm swing and some whack at release but shows good direction and balance. It's a better look out of the stretch and more specifically when he employs the slide step leading scouts to believe the wind-up should iron itself out over time with more development and training. Stillman has size, is left-handed and possesses considerable fastball value with at least 50/50 potential to hold down a starter role when all is said and done. Those can be a difficult trio of traits to find in amateur arms. He'll also be just 18.5 years old for the Draft.

Jorian Wilson
Hallettsville

HOMETOWN: Hallettsville, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 240

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Wilson is as physical as they come packed into a 6-foot-4-inch, 240-pound frame. He immediately stands out when he gets off the bus. A three-sport bluechip with legitimate upside in all three sports, Wilson is the starting quarterback and free safety for Hallettsville High. He also plays on the front court for the school basketball team. On the diamond, Wilson mans centerfield boasting fringy-to-average run times. Most foresee a future move to right field where his above average arm strength, fluid actions and strong reads will fit more comfortably. Wilson is awfully comfortable in the field and certainly looks as though he can stick out there so long as he doesn't outgrow the position.

While the glove is solid, it is the bat scouts rave about and it's the bat that will ultimately dictate whether Wilson gets drafted. He possesses effortless bat speed producing 'double-plus' raw power. He's short into the hitting zone and long through it with a consistent path. The bat makes a different sound for Wilson than it does his peers. The whole operation is awfully quiet with little wasted movement or unnecessary flashy triggers. While the impact upside is undeniable, the hit tool and general polish surround the bat-to-ball skills is still developing. Wilson takes his walks but in-zone whiffs against spin can lead to streakiness in the strikeouts category. Developing more consistency in the box will come as age is certainly on his side. Wilson will be just 17 years old for the Draft, a model-darling with clear and present ceiling.

94 RHP
Vaughn Neckar
Vista Murrieta

HOMETOWN: Murrieta, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 225

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Neckar is a powerful, fully-maxed righty up to 96 with carry through the zone. He holds his velocity well and will remain 93-94 in his fourth and fifth innings of work. He repeats well and has had flashes of above average control, though the strikes have been streaky. Neckar's best weapon is a sweeping mid-80s breaker with late bite and tunneling characteristics featuring well-above average lateral tilt. Neckar has the chance to develop two above-average or better pitches. For his age, he's an advanced thrower with a durable starter profile and Lance Lynn-esque brutish mentality on the bump. He'll need to continue refining his strike-throwing ability, but the stuff projects fairly loud moving forward.

95 SS
Lucas Franco
Cinco Ranch

HOMETOWN: Katy, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 180

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: TCU

Franco is an athletic infielder with a loose left-handed swing and should grow into some pull-side power thanks to his long, lean frame. He's a shortstop now and looks to stay at the position with fluid actions, footwork and the ability to make throws from awkward angles. It's above-average to plus arm strength too.

Franco has a short, compact swing and makes tight turns on the baseball. He's revered for his bat-to-ball skills and patient approach at the plate. He hardly ever chases or expands the zone. Scouts would like to see the quality of contact take a jump between now and the draft (and that should come with added strength), but he puts the game in motion and allows his above average run tool to come into play. To date, he's fallen victim to BABIP a bit more than his peers, though that too should improve as he gets stronger and stings the ball with more consistency.

The book on Franco is projection and he'll need to add weight as the draft approaches if scouts are to believe in the first round upside. He checks a lot of boxes without totally impacting the baseball just yet.

96 SS
Steele Hall
Hewitt-Trussville

HOMETOWN: Trussville, AL

HEIGHT: 5-11

WEIGHT: 163

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Tennessee

A reclass up from 2026, Hall is a lean, twitchy middle infielder with good actions and athleticism that really comes out in his play. He can really turn the hips and create some bat speed offensively. It's fast hands and late reactions that allow the hit tool to play on swings inside the zone. It's more wiry strength right now, though he could grow into some physicality in his lower half in due time. It's mostly hit over power right now with some athletic markers that point to some potential slug on the horizon. Hall is a 'plus' runner whose best baseball days lay ahead as he continues to fill out and mature into more strength. He will turn 18 years old just two weeks after the Draft. Models will like him.

97 C/OF
Owen Jenkins
Lexington Catholic

HOMETOWN: Versailles, Kentucky

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 215

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Louisville

Jenkins is a big, strong, physical right-handed hitter with considerable bat speed and rotational acceleration that allows him to make late decisions in the box whilst still impacting the baseball to the pull-side. He's shown natural feel for launching the baseball and projects to tap into his 'plus' raw power at the next level. There's some swing and miss in Jenkins' game as it pertains to spin, but he's rather raw with regards to seeing advanced pitching at this young stage in his career.

Jenkins is a primary catcher who at times has trouble holding the running game. He does a nice job of blocking balls in the dirt, though his receiving skills are more fringy than they are a true asset at this stage. Jenkins has solid average arm strength that could play in the outfield should he be forced to shift into the grass as a pro. Jenkins will clock home-to-first times in the 4.5-4.65 range pointing to an average runner. He's already a fairly maxed out, physical prospect. It stands to reason he could eventually be a fringe-average runner by the time he debuts in Major League Baseball.

The story here is the bat and it's rather potent. Jenkins has fans in the scouting community and could be in play toward the front-half of day two if a team buys into the future defensive value.

98 RHP
Benton Hickman
Brophy College Prep

HOMETOWN: Litchfield Park, Arizona

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 175

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Arizona

Hickman is an ultra-lean right-handed pitcher with a three pitch mix and interesting metrics that should lend well toward success at any level. He's a low-launch righty who hides the ball well throwing from a slot just 55 inches off the ground. Hickman sets up with high hands and rocks into his backside with a high leg kick generating above average extension down the mound for a pitcher of his size. Hickman demonstrates a quick arm with well-above average layback and a loose shoulder. He should continue to add strength and velocity in the coming years.

For now the fastball has been up to 92 but settles in more 88-90 after the first inning. He generates some carry through the zone with tailing action. He tunnels a mid-to-upper 70s sweeper off the fastball nicely and can generates considerable whiff rates against right-handed bats with that pitch. Hickman has also flashed an upper-70s changeup that lags in quality and execution from his two primary offerings.

There's considerable athleticism and projection in this arm. Hickman could end up going to school and transforming himself into a second-round type arm. If he discovers a velocity bump between now and July he could vault himself inside the Top 100 picks. Hickman will be 18.6 years old for the Draft.

99 SS
Matt Ferrara
Toms River East

HOMETOWN: Toms River, New Jersey

HEIGHT: 5-11

WEIGHT: 178

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Pittsburgh

Ferrara is a budding prospect with physical tools and twitchiness that have come on late. He's a bit of a late bloomer on the athletic side of things, but his uptick really shows in games. Ferrara has super quick hands and can get away with starting late in the box. He keeps the barrel through the zone for an extended amount of time and has shown the ability to impact the baseball to the opposite field. When he's on time there's above average raw power to the pull-side with some feel for backspin and launch. There may be more in the tank too as Ferrara tests athletically at elite levels with measurements in the vertical jump test that dwarf just about everybody in the class. The vertical jump test (or CMJ jump) is a reliable barometer for lower-body power and explosivity projection, both present and future. If the twitchiness, hand strength and impact continue to tick up in games as July approaches he could hear his name called early in the Draft.

Defensively Ferrara lacks the value of most of his shortstop peers, though he is smooth and talented enough to stay on the dirt as a professional. He profiles as a bat-first third baseman, but could stay up the middle at second base if he doesn't outgrow the position. He's a fringe-average runner and will occasionally post times below that. Pressure will continue to be placed on his lateral range and foot speed in the field and on the bases. Ferrara has the hands, footwork and arm strength that all project on the infield.

Gabe Graulau
Jupiter

HOMETOWN: Jupiter, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: South Florida

You'd be hard-pressed to find many prospects in the 2025 class that present the same level of athleticism, projection, size and impact than does Graulau. A 6-foot-4-inch outfielder, the Jupiter product is already a 70-grade runner with a 'plus' arm in the field. Graulau is still polishing up his routes in the field and they can get a bit scenic at times, but the pure raw tools point toward the potential for a centerfield star if everything comes together. Offensively it's comfortably 'plus' bat speed with levers that create well-above average exit velocities. The bat path itself has a flatter plane though there's an innate ability to create backspin on the baseball and lift. As he continues to mature and understand the movement patterns of his body, Graulau should improve the swing and miss in his game. He's susceptible to pitches low and away and he can get off balance and disconnected on those swings. There is at least 20 more pounds of muscle ahead in Graulau's physical maturity and that will likely better dictate what the final offensive product could become. For now, its tantalizing tools.

101 RHP
Peter Kussow
Arrowhead

HOMETOWN: Hartland, Wisconsin

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 215

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Louisville

Kussow has seen his stock steadily climb after impressing scouts last summer. He'll work up to 92 mph with a fastball that carries through the strike zone with some late tailing action to keep off the barrel. Kussow hooks the baseball a bit in his arm swing causing some natural deception for hitters. That said, it has now and again affected his ability to command the fastball. When he's spotting his arsenal, he's a tough at-bat.

The fastball is supplemented by a low-80s slider with late tilt and strong vertical plane. There's a nascent changeup that shows promise too.

Considering his size and potential fastball value, teams will be lining up to see Kussow before the Draft comes around in July. Assuming he makes a velocity jump, he'll be in play.

102 RHP
Joshua Jannicelli
Cardinal Newman

HOMETOWN: Santa Rosa, California

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 184

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UC Santa Barbara

Jannicelli has unlimited projection in his six-foot-six-inch frame and long levers. There's at least 25 pounds in front of this player and his stuff should explode as he matures and gets stronger. For the time being he's been up to 94 and will settle in 90-91 after the second inning on most nights. His heater features tailing action and some late sink conducive to generating ground balls.

Jannicelli's best weapon is a 'plus' changeup that tunnels the fastball and completely runs out of steam as it approaches the plate. There's considerable vertical plane and he'll pull the string on it and generating upwards of 15 mph of separation at times. It's a pitch that tumbles and fades into the strikezone creating whiffs in bunches. His go-to breaking ball is a big, upper-70s slurvy curveball with more depth than sweeping action -- something of an 11-5 breaker. It does a nice job mirroring the changeup before sweeping the other direction.

Jannicelli has an exciting three-pitch mix and throws strikes. Couple those traits with the frame and projectability and it stands to reason he has Top-100 pick upside if it comes together.

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia Tech

Cole Johnson has been a riser over the past calendar year showcasing a steady, impactful hit tool featuring beautiful tempo and impressive contact skills. It's a a swing that should migrate to the next level with comfort and ease. There's some power to project here, however he's not of the slugger archetype at this stage. He's an above average runner underway. Johnson gets very high marks for his routes in centerfield, his IQ on the field and his composure in big spots. He glides in the outfield and looks smooth and easy out there. Simply put, Johnson looks the part. It remains to be seen if he'll stick in centerfield as pro ball generally shifts players that lack a 'plus' run tool into a corner, but in any case he's likely to stick up the middle in the low minors.

Logan Dawson
Eastern

HOMETOWN: Voorhees, New Jersey

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 202

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Boston College

The Northeast has become a steady breeding ground for premium high school draft prospects in recent years and Dawson may represent the next candidate. A long, highly-projectable left-handed hitting shortstop, Dawson projects a power-over-hit bat once fully matured. He creates loft in his swing and gives off the impression of a hitter looking to create pull-side launch. That operation at this younger stage in his career has created swing-and-miss in his game, especially on elevated velocity where he whiffed almost 60 percent of the time during the summer of 2024. Dawson was also susceptible to spin on the outer-third. Still, he's shown considerable impact and budding bat speed from the left side; a tantalizing trait for a player still growing into his adult strength. He makes average swing decisions with elevated velocity once again representing the most prominent hole in his approach. As Dawson gets stronger and is exposed to more and more premium pitching, his polish should come and consistency is likely to follow to some degree.

Dawson is an average runner with an athletic, long gait. He could grow into a bit more speed as he gets stronger. He's shown average actions and sound fundamentals at shortstop, though he may be a better fit at third base where his range, burst and length would play at a high level.

105 SS
Jaiden LoRe
Corona Del Sol

HOMETOWN: Phoenix, Arizona

HEIGHT: 5-11

WEIGHT: 180

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: BYU

LoRe stands out for his infield acumen and athleticism on the dirt. He's got the bounce and quick-twitch scouts look for in a middle infielder. He's got that adjustable body control moving in every direction. He possesses fringe-average arm strength with a longer arm action that creates sink and tail across the diamond. LoRe is an average runner who could tick up a half-grade with more strength and dedicated speed-training. At present, he profiles as a second baseman at the next level whose arm talent will be tested at the shortstop position.

Offensively, there's sneaky bat speed here with some projection in the slugging department. LoRe understands how to get the barrel to every zone and has a way of adjusting his attack angle to create backspin to all-fields. He's short through the zone and can create exit velocity to the opposite field gap. When LoRe is overmatched he tends to drift over his front side creating top spin as he loses leverage limiting his power production. It's a move that should iron itself out over time as he gets more and more reps against more premium competition. LoRe has been a steady performer in tournament settings and does a nice job limiting strikeouts, showing a willingness to take walks as well.

Joey Lorenzini
Rocklin

HOMETOWN: Rocklin, California

HEIGHT: 6-5

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Arkansas

A big, tall, lanky left-handed pitcher, Lorenzini is a tough look for both left-handed and right-handed hitters with an arsenal that can be especiaily difficult to square up. Lorenzini has been up to 93 but is more commonly 90-91 with tailing action and sink, late for hitters to pick up. He consistently looks the opposition up with an upper-70s breaking ball that appears to deviate off the fastball's tunnel at the last minute. It's a bullet slider featuring very little lateral tilt. His changeup can also be disgusting, and he'll show it to lefties and righties with an emphasis on burying that pitch in the dirt or letting it dance arm-side. Lorenzini could work into a number of roles at the next level. He'll likely need to find a bit more fastball value if he's going to be especially productive in a starters' role. Lorenzini could eventually end up filling an Alex Wood-type role. Very good arm with a unique look for hitters.

Already a fairly maxed out centerfield prospect, Enis gets high marks for his tools in the field where he boasts arm talent with a budding glove and 'plus' speed. It's purely a centerfield profile and should stick up the middle. Enis is a crude athlete in the box but does a nice job letting the ball travel and has shown some thump to the opposite field.

Jayden Summerville
TNXL Academy

HOMETOWN: Orlando, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 198

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Kennesaw State

Summerville came on in 2025 and caught scouts attention as the calendar turned. He's a physical left-handed pitcher with strength in his lower half. He's got a quick arm and throws his fastball for strikes. He's up to 93 at this point in his career but he cuts the fastball a bit and can induce whiffs and weak contact from right-handed batters because of it. Summerville should creep into the mid-90s in due time thanks to his arm speed and athletic frame.

The breaking ball is his best weapon. It's a tight low-80s slider with sharp break, lateral and deep. He shown feel for landing that pitch to lefties and righties and throws it often. It's a future above-average weapon, maybe more if he can squeeze more velocity out of his arsenal. Summerville has a bigger mid-to-upper 70s curveball that also possesses strong spin rates and sharp break. He's unafraid to throw that pitch to left-handed hitters too. He's been known to freeze them in the box because of it.

Summerville has a good arm despite lacking exceptional athleticism on the mound. He has the look of an arm beginning to blossom into his own, though admittedly at this stage it's more of a relief look with a breaking ball emphasis than your prototype starting pitcher profile. Summerville will barely be 18 years old on draft day and there's plenty of reasons to buy into more on the horizon from the burgeoning lefty. His Kennesaw State commitment may leave teams believing he can be signed away from school in July.

Upchurch has a natural feel for pitching that can't be taught. The ball jumps out of his hand loose and easy. He's got the look of a starting pitcher on the mound. He'll work the fastball up to 97, sitting 91-93 on most occasions tunneling a tough slider in the upper-70s off the heat. Upchurch generates unique, steep angles toward the plate, and hitters have had a difficult time squaring him up on the tournament scene. He's already a physical kid with a bluechip-quarterback frame, and scouts expect velocity will come easy to the Maryland product as he gets into professional development. Upchurch fills up the zone, doesn't allow much traffic on the base paths, and has a frame to dream on. He checks a lot of boxes.

The pride of Austin, Texas, Taylor Tracey is in on the short list for perhaps the most projectable prospect in the 2025 class. It's a terrific frame that should grow into considerable usable impact as he matures. It's a two-way player. Scouts like him at the plate too where he projects for big power as a guy who has the innate feel for catching the ball out in front and extending through his swing. Tracey exhibits a considerable amount of swing-and-miss in his game, but as a three-true-outcome guy he fits the mold. He's a strong runner and projects into a corner where his tools will really play up. On the mound he's been up to 89 with a parachute changeup and a looping breaking ball. The fastball is a knuckle-breaker with immense amounts of arm-side run.

Tokheim has continued to get more and more physical as his draft approaches. Now pushing 200 pounds, he's been one of the more impactful, loud bats in the Pacific Northwest the last two tournament and showcase cycles. Tokheim is a projectable 6-foot-3-inch infielder with some of the tools to stay at shortstop, though most foresee a future at the hot corner. His steady hands and solid average arm strength should survive just fine on the dirt. Tokheim is a fringy runner, though his long gait and athletic stride do allow his tools to play up on the infield and on the bases a bit. The story here is the raw power. It's comfortably plus and there's more one the way. Tokheim employs a high hand setup, unleashing whippy bat speed through the zone. His hand speed and bat speed measurables rank among the best in his class, more proof of the underlying power to come. Tokheim is as physical as they come in the 2025 class. The bat will do most of the heavy lifting in the profile.

Bullard is a helium prospect this season. He's a switch-hitter with skills in both batters boxes. The swing mirrors itself from both sides. Bullard is a 'plus' runner with a wiry, projectable frame that should hold its twitch into pro ball. He plays a smooth game in all three facets and simply looks the part. There's hitterish traits here as well. Bullard is a two-sport standout and could have a future on the gridiron as well. Scouts will want to see more impact as he grows into his frame, but this is how you draw up an exciting high school prospect.

Danny Wallace
Papillion-La Vista South

HOMETOWN: La Vista, Nebraska

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma State

Wallace is an absolute toolshed. Already an above average runner and ticking up into faster times, Wallace will certainly stick in outfield where his plus throwing arm profiles into center or right field comfortably. Offensively, the raw power is at least above average, but might creep into the plus territory with age and strength. Wallace is already a physically imposing player with a strong lower half and broad shoulders. It's a highly-athletic profile that is far more advanced physically than most of his peers. Scouts love the profile on the mound too. While it's a longer arm action, Wallace lets it rip with ease, up to 92 with some carry and heavy arm-side run. He tosses in an upper-70s slider with sweeping action, as well as a get-me-over low-70s curveball. This is a premium prospect with day one upside.

Terrance Bowen
Alexander

HOMETOWN: Dallas, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma State

Bowen is an imposing force at the plate with big bat speed and a flair for the dramatic. He could end up a number of different places on the diamond with experience in the middle infield and in the outfield. He projects an above average runner and he's got a good first step with strong lateral mobility.

116 SS
Tyler Dunning
JSerra Catholic

HOMETOWN: Rancho Santa Margarita, California

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UCLA

One of the more decorated defenders on the West Coast, Dunning has a strong hands and loose, athletic actions on the dirt, all of which contributes to a polished brand with the glove. Dunning is still growing in his strength with the bat, but a consistent bat path and repeatable triggers has scouts bullish on his ability to hit going forward. There's some power projection too. Dunning is an above average runner who seems to be adding half a tick to his athletic profile as he's continued to add strength. He's a definitive up-arrow name. He will be 18.8 years old for the draft.

117 3B
Brock Silvers
Middleton Academy

HOMETOWN: Middleton, Idaho

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 210

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: South Florida

There are few players on the West Coast who can match the physicality and impact Brock Silvers can put into a baseball. The 6-foot-4-inch, 210-pound corner infielder produces big bat speed with fast, strong hands and a compact path through the zone. Silvers stays through his back side well and employs plenty of leverage throughout his swing. He's short into the zone and long through it, extending through the baseball well, showing off potential plus raw power. It's easy juice to all fields and considerably strong at the point of impact. Silvers may ultimately outgrow third base where he's a fringy defender with above average arm strength. Silvers also projects a fringy-to-average runner at the next level. All that being said, if it wasn't obvious already, the bat is the calling card here.

118 OF
Eli Pitts
North Gwinnett

HOMETOWN: Suwanee, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 182

BAT/THROW: R-R

Pitts is a rangy outfielder with a quick first step, plus run times and a centerfield profile going forward. He's got quick hands that stay through the zone a long time. Pitts is more of a slasher at the plate and isn't a huge home run threat at this point in his amatuer career, though he can be a headache for pitchers once on base. There's some swing and miss in his game, but that too is ticking in the right direction over the last calendar year.

Miguel Sime Jr.
Poly Prep Country Day

HOMETOWN: Queens Village, New York

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Sime Jr. has a chance to be the hardest thrower from the 2025 class. Already touching 99 with vertical life, Sime Jr. looks the part of a guy who may live at 100 someday. There's also a breaking ball here, but he's hardly had to use it as his fastball has been so overpowering at this stage. Walks have been an issue here, and there's some effort in the operation that may push him into a bullpen at the next level, but the arm talent and upside from a physical perspective is close to unmatched.

120 RHP
Aiden Barrientes
Katy

HOMETOWN: Katy, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: TCU

Barrientes saw his stock ascend dramatically as a high school junior in 2023 when his velocity really jumped and the strike-throwing simultaneously improved. He's already up to 93 and his athletic, long-levered frame should add more in the coming years. His best weapon is an upper-70s curveball with late bit and depth, tunneling well off the fastball, especially when spiked. There's also a mid-80s changeup that he'll flash, but is still a work in progress. Barrientes will be just 17 years old on draft day, generally a significant feather in the cap of high school pitchers' draft stock.

121 RHP
Blane Metz
Floyd Central

HOMETOWN: Floyds Knobs, Indiana

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Indiana

Metz is an impressive righty with a lightning-quick arm featuring deception out of a shorter arm action. He lives off a fastball that explodes through the zone with big carry and some arm-side run. He's already incredibly physical and has been up to 96 with a sharp slider and the makings of a changeup. One of the more interesting Midwest arms in the 2025 class.

122 RHP
Marcelo Harsch
Seton Hall Prep

HOMETOWN: Montclair, New Jersey

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 170

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Wake Forest

It's all projection with the slender, lanky, long Harsch. He's already flashing signs of a big future on the radar gun, tickling 94 and sitting a few ticks lower than that. Harsch is a grinder on the mound working both sides of the plate and mixing up the arsenal to both left-handed and right-handed hitters. He's not afraid of throwing his slider, and why would he be when it's a mid-80s yacker that he lands well. Harsch doesn't spin the baseball terribly well just yet, but as he matures that should tick up a bit. A mid-to-upper 80s changeup is also a usable weapon, especially to lefties.

Harsch has a real feel for pitching, a willingness to mix it up, and tremendous projection on his frame. Better still, he'll turn 18 just weeks before the 2025 Draft, generally a strong model trait for teams looking to buy upside. That said, his commitment to Wake Forest is strong and he won't come on a discount.

123 RHP
Jordan Martin
Jefferson City

HOMETOWN: Jefferson City, Missouri

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 208

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Arkansas

Martin is a tremendous athlete on the mound having recently taken up pitching in a more full-time capacity. A natural shortstop, Martin moves well and pounds the zone with poise, 90-93. He's a confident thrower with a mid-70s curveball and a budding changeup that's been a work in progress. Martin figures to take a massive step forward in the coming months as he grows into the role and continues to learn the art. Big up arrow. It's not a foregone conclusion he's done hitting either. There's real traits on the dirt and in the swing. His profile could go either direction.

124 LHP
Robert "Xavier" Mitchell
Prestonwood Christian Academy

HOMETOWN: Garland, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 165

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

Mitchell is projection personified. He can hardly fill out a uniform at this early stage in his career and should comfortably add 20-25 pounds before he debuts at the highest level. The lean, stringy lefty has been up to 93 with some carry. Mitchell can cut the heater or tail it back into lefties at times depending on his release. It's a pitch that's been especially effective at the top of the zone. Mitchell has some deception in his delivery but generally hasn't gotten much in-zone whiffs with the heater. His bread and butter is a low-80s slider that he sells very well with considerable depth and some lateral tilt. Mitchell tunnels that pitch well and is more than willing to back foot it to right-handed hitters. It's a weapon that's worked well over the course of the last last twelve months when spiked in front of the plate. There's a mid-80s changeup that's been used almost exclusively against right-handed hitters and it's flashed above-average with arm speed and vertical plane. The strikes have been streaky but when Mitchell is locked in he can be one of the more effective arms in this class. He's got a slow heartbeat and the ability to throw multiple innings. It's a starter-look. Mitchell turns 19 the week of the Draft.

125 2B
Cole Clark
Huntington Beach

HOMETOWN: Huntington Beach, California

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 165

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UC Irvine

Clark is polished behind his years. He consistently shows tremendous takes on in the box and looks the part of a hitter with a discerning eye, advanced discipline and a plan. Clark has the quickness in his hands to make split decisions in the box and fire his swing later than his peers. He doesn't possesses much more than 40-grade raw power, but there's impact to all-fields and a barrel that plays through the zone for a long time. Clark is a below-to-fringe average runner who is unlikely to be a base-stealer at the next level. He's a second baseman with average arm strength and will be carried by the hit tool as the Draft approaches.

126 SS
Matthew Boughton
Covenant Christian Academy

HOMETOWN: Colleyville, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 175

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Boughton is a lean-framed infielder with bounce in his step on the dirt and true shortstop actions in his operation. He's light on his feet with long strides and a good internal clock. He's got a strong arm and all of his traits figure to tick up as he gets more physical in the coming months/years. It's already an above average arm, though scouts foresee a future plus thrower at the next level. Boughton is a solid average runner too, though that could creep into the above-average territory with 15 more pounds. The glove and athlete are the selling point right now as Boughton doesn't offer a great deal of slug at the plate. He willingly takes his walks, but whiffs will curb his profile against the more premium arms in the class. In buying Boughton, you're buying the potential and projection of a future surefire shortstop, though scouts may prefer he get stronger at school and develop the bat before heavily investing in the talented bluechip infielder. Boughton is committed to Texas A&M and is well-liked in his region by area scouts. Boughton will also turn 20 years old just a few months after the 2025 draft.

127 RHP
Wyatt Nadeau
Westminster School

HOMETOWN: Gorham, Maine

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 230

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Vanderbilt

It's not often the state of Maine produces premium talent for the Major League Baseball Draft. Nadeau hopes to prove that narrative wrong (however he did leave his home state of Maine to pitch in Connecticut this spring). A mammoth 6-foot-6-inch righty, Nadeau came into this spring in considerably better shape than scouts had seen him last summer. Down 20 pounds and looking leaner and more athletic, Nadeau's trim left the arm looser and has his body moving in ways it was unable just twelve months prior.

Nadeau's fastball is now touching 97 mph and more comfortably resting in the 92-94 range across his outings. Nadeau's fastball doesn't possess exceptional shape, and his release height and extension down the mound are reasonably generic for a player his size. That said, his ability to create depth on a burgeoning slider and bigger curveball has scouts thinking he could grow into three average-or-better offerings with velocity to fall back on. His changeup has seen big strides over the last year as well and Nadeau is capable of seperating it's shape significantly off the fastball. His pitch-design plot is spacious and complex. If Nadeau throws the strikes necessary to get to each pitch in different counts, is a potent arsenal.

As Nadeau has gotten trimmer and more athletic, his delivery has loosened up and he's throwing more strikes because of it. It's an effortless operation from a player of his size, and he understands how his body moves better than most with his physique at this age.

A Vanderbilt commit, Nadeau could end up a difficult player to sign away from school. He will be 19 years old, or just there abouts, on Draft day.

Eric Hines
American Christian Academy

HOMETOWN: Tuscaloosa, Alabama

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 210

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Alabama

Hines is a physically imposing right-handed hitter with effortless raw power. He swings a heavy barrel with strong hands and a short stroke. There's not a lot of twitch in Hines game, instead reckoning havoc on the opposition with brute strength and keeping it simple taking the barrel to the baseball. He's an average runner with above average arm strength who could end up in right field if he doesn't outgrow the field altogether.

129 RHP
Bobby Mahoney
Arrowhead Christian

HOMETOWN: Redlands, California

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Cal State Fullerton

Mahoney represents one of the younger players available in the 2025 Draft. He won't turn 18 years old until a few weeks after the event. He's already touching 94 and will routinely sit 90-91 in game performances after his first inning of work. His fastball is launched out of of a low three-quarters slot and he hides the ball nicely. It's a 5-foot release height that should play nicely at the top of the zone as he works to consistently find more play up there. Jumps out of his hand. He'll generate some late hop on the fastball and has a tendency to tail that pitch away from left-handed hitters. He's got plenty of natural arm speed and there's looseness in his delivery. Mahoney has a delivery that projects. Real feel for pace and tempo on the bump. Mahoney could be a guy that eventually climbs into the 96-97 range and could rest 92-94 as a starter at the next level if he continues to mature as his frame would suggest.

He'll spin a 2700 rpm breaker in the low-80s with two-planes though it's scattererd too often. He'll also show an upper-80s changeup that needs work. Mahoney has a very good arm, a good frame and unique release traits. He throws enough strikes, though there have been outings where the balls gets away from him. The fastball has a chance to be 'plus' once fully refined. He could be a model-darling pick if he's willing to turn down Cal Poly.

130 SS
Reed Strohmeyer
Hempstead

HOMETOWN: Dubuque, Iowa

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 179

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Nebraska

Strohmeyer is a lanky shortstop with a lean, projectable body. He has tons of room for strength in his lower half and features squared off shoulder that point toward impact on the horizon. Strohmeyer is a fast-twitch hitter with a small leg kick and neutral stride. He's quick to the baseball with a compact swing, short through the zone with a controlled path. It's fringy bat speed but Strohmeyer does move quick and rotates hard with the luxury of being able to make late decisions in the box. He's unlikely to ever blossom into anything more than average raw power, but considering his path and focus on finding the barrel, he could find that ceiling in games.

Athletically, Strohmeyer is an average runner who can click into another gear making turns around the bases. He's quite a bit better underway than he is from a first-step perspective. Strohmeyer has the rangy length necessary to play shortstop with average arm strength and some projection in that department. He could end up at second base or in left field in forced off the '6' by a more premium defender. Strohmeyer's book really won't be written until he takes on 10-15 more pounds of muscle at which point his impact profile will come more into focus. For now, he's a pure hitter with clear physical upside.

131 C/3B
Truitt Madonna
Ballard

HOMETOWN: Seattle, Washington

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: UCLA

Madonna might have more raw power than anyone coming out of the state of Washington in the 2025 class. A UCLA commit, Madonna has struggled to hit for average when thrust into tournament and showcase settings, however he's dominated the Metro League in Seattle for two seasons. Madonna swings with a bit of loft and aims to lift and damage the baseball. He gets to triple-digit exit velocities effortlessly. Unfortunately, the competition he sees on a nightly basis in the Metro League isn't representative of what he'll see at UCLA or in professional baseball for that matter. Proving to scouts the hit tool is real as July approaches will be a challenge, but not impossible.

Defensively, Madonna is a primary catcher whose shown the ability to get up and out of the crouch cleanly. He has average arm strength and could conceivably improve on the defensive end when he gives up his other sports and focuses on baseball exclusively. He's also an average runner.

You can't teach size and Madonna has that. He's a powerful athlete with a chance to register exit velocities north of 110 mph going forward. If teams are convinced he'll hit enough to get to that power and they believe he has a shot to catch, Madonna has a chance to see a big bonus thrown his way in July, though he's expected to be a tough sign away from UCLA.

132 LHP
Eli Blair
J.R. Arnold

HOMETOWN: Panama City Beach, Florida

HEIGHT: 6-8

WEIGHT: 208

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Florida

A massive, imposing left-handed pitcher, Blair has been a definitive up-arrow guy going back to his sophomore year in high school. He's been a bit stuck in the 85-87 mph velocity band for the last calendar year, but he's an athletic mover with looseness in his operation and prototype size. He'll throw harder in due time. Blair throws a mid-to-upper 70s slider with sweeping action that he lands for strikes. There's also a changeup in the tank that lacks consistent shape, though Blair does have feel for landing that pitch. This is a strike-thrower with a premium frame and stuff that should come along with strength and maturity. There's starter traits here and his name should continue to surge as the Draft approaches.

133 3B/RHP
Jason Fultz
Cathedral Prep

HOMETOWN: Harborcreek, Pennsylvania

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Clemson

Fultz has certainly left his mark on the scouting community by way of his huge raw power. He's had the chance to show it off at showcases and tournaments and almost always seems to have a moment.

Fultz is built like a linebackers with a thick lower half and broad, rounded shoulders. He brings extremely physical impact to the plate and does well translating his muscle into pure bat speed. He's cut from an old school cloth with an intimidating setup at the plate. It's a slightly open stance featuring a high back elbow, some waggle in the barrel and closed off shoulders. Fultz will pull off his front hip at times leaving him exposed to spin off the outside corner, but his hands are so strong and quick that taking velocity on the outer third out to right field with impact is commonplace. He'll need to work on directional drills at the next level if he's to survive more advanced pitching, but for the time being his physical nature allows him to overpower the opposition at times. Fultz can also get anxious at the plate and expand the zone at times, but he's posted average whiff rates and does a nice job staying alive in counts. There are some inconsistencies in his attack angle which can lead to an inordinate amount of topspin on the baseball. When he sinks everything up, however, it's some of the best raw power in the class.

Fultz will likely be limited to first base or possibly the outfield as a pro. He's a below average runner with above average arm strength coming from a longer arm action. He's a third baseman now, but his hands and actions are deliberate and he can be heavy-footed moving laterally on the dirt. He stands a chance to play third base at the collegiate level and will likely get every opportunity to do so. He'll have to work to stay lean and nimble at the hot corner if he's to translate those opportunities into pro ball.

This is a player carried by the bat. It's 70-grade raw power and an extremely physical frame. If the hit tool takes a step forward in the spring and Fultz doesn't outgrow the infield as a prep, he's got a fourth or fifth round profile.

134 OF
Brady Janusek
Liberty Christian

HOMETOWN: Flower Mound, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 200

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma

A two-sport bluechip with a chance to play wide receiver in college, scouts are enamored with Janusek's athleticism on the diamond. He's a tall, physical outfielder who fills out a uniform well. His athleticism and frame project going forward.

Janusek has fast hands and makes quick decisions in the box. He sinks into his hips and creates space and stretch with above average power projection, bulls claiming maybe more. He's an above average runner with long strides and could eventually see an uptick in the speed department if he focuses on the straight line speed that comes with the sport. He can play all three outfield spots and has received some run behind the plate, though his future is likely roaming the grass.

135 3B
Tyler Wick
Saint Augustine

HOMETOWN: San Diego, California

HEIGHT: 6-0

WEIGHT: 180

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon

A right-handed hitter with game performance in the rear-view mirror, Wick has performed well in tournament and showcase settings up and down the West Coast over the last two years. He's shown on-base and slugging traits in those looks. He's got fast hands, tight turns and violent coil with some ringing bat speed into the gaps. Wick stays behind the baseball nicely and possesses an inside-out swing with a barrel that stays in the zone for a long time. He's fidgety with anxious hands and triggers that'll vary based on the velocity and pitch arsenal he's seeing. Wick has a short stride and does a nice job creating space and stretch in his swing. He's an average runner with longer strides. Wick has a strong frame with strength in his upper-body and some projection in his lower half. He's covered all over the infield over the last 12 months depending on the team/event. Most scouts see the profile eventually landing at third base where his average throwing arm and physicality should play best. As a right-right infield prospect who is unlikely to play shortstop as a pro, Wick's bat will need to continue doing the heavy lifting as the Draft approaches, but he's got a following in the scouting community.

136 SS
Will Rhine
The John Carroll

HOMETOWN: Bel Air, Maryland

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: B-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Alabama

Rhine is an extremely physical switch-hitter. Better from the left side than the right, it's enormous strength to his pull-side. He leverages hard into the ground and makes violent turns in the box. Rhine has some twitch in his hands and has shown a good feel for producing huge exit velocities. It's a heavy barrel. Scouts are bullish on his ability to gradually improve his barrel consistency. Rhine has shown some in-zone swing and miss in his game in tournament settings, but it's a patient, polished approach, with a high walk rate. He possesses fluidity and calm with the glove and has a chance to play shortstop in college. That said, there's significant strength in Rhine's upper-half and his frame may ultimately push him to third base where he could be a plus defender. There's an internal clock in Rhine's game that plays well on the dirt, though he's unlikely the be the most rangy defender in a pro organization. Still, fundamentally, there's a lot to like here. He's a confident, reliable performer with the leather. Rhine is a fringe-average runner. He will be 18.2 on draft day.

137 OF
Quinn Carson
St. Ignatius of Loyola

HOMETOWN: Oakville, Ontario, Canada

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 204

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Missouri

Carson is one of the more physically impressive kids in the 2025 class with athletic tools offensively that, at times, wow scouts. The hand speed here really stands out. Carson is short into the zone with a fast move allowing a slightly later reaction than his peers. Carson features a balanced swing with a quiet load and short stride. He extends well and does a nice job catching the ball out in front generating pull-side juice. The hit tool projects well and the power should get his name plenty of attention in the draft. Carson has an above average arm and is a solid average runner who best projects into a corner going forward. He's got a strong first step and should provide some value on the base paths as well.

138 2B/SS
Ethan Clauss
Palo Verde

HOMETOWN: Las Vegas, Nevada

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 175

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Evaluators consider Clauss the top prep prospect in the state of Nevada for 2025, a state naturally rich with baseball talent. He's a smooth defender with a strong internal clock and a gliding nature around the dirt. He's become considerably more physical over the last twelve months and now has the look of a bat-first second baseman or third baseman. Clauss presents an open stance with quick hands with the innate ability to stay inside the baseball. It's an extremely slow heartbeat and a mature approach to the game. He's a high on-base player who shows a grand willingness to get on base any way he can. He projects to hit going forward, though he lacks much slugging upside, especially for his size.

139 LHP/1B
Evan Hankins
The Miller School of Albermarle

HOMETOWN: Bristol, Virginia

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 215

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Tennessee

Hankins is a massively projectable left-handed pitcher with some two-way upside at first base as well. But the ceiling on the mound is so high, most expect he'll end up sticking on the bump. Hankins comes at hitters from a short-arm low-launch release inducing vertical break on the fastball and deceiving hitters in the process. His fastball has be up north of 2400 rpm at times, though he more commonly is about 100 rpm below that. Hankins has been up to 93 with conviction and confidence in his fastball, pounding the strikezone. He throws a low-80s changeup and kills spin effectively. It might be his best pitch. He works away from left-handed bats with a low-80s slider that, while lacking in raw spin, does possess strong depth. Hankins is a good athlete with a premium body and budding velocity. The ball comes out of his hand loose and easy. If the pitching wasn't enough, scouts love the raw power and sweet left-handed stroke Hankins brings to the dish as well. He could go either way.

140 C/OF
Peter Mershon
Eastside

HOMETOWN: Taylors, South Carolina

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: South Carolina

Mershon is an older player in the 2025 class, but his present physicality and impact offensively lines up with what's to be expected of a player his age. Mershon drifts into his back hip fairly aggressive and creates loft collapsing the backside as he works to extend and punish the ball to his pull-side. He rotates hard off his front hip and can create impressive exit velocities in the process. Mershon moves well and projects a solid average runner at the next level despite posting above average run times presently. He's a well put together player with strength distributed evenly throughout his frame, squared off shoulders and a higher-set waist. There's plenty to dream on here. Mershon should hold his athleticism into his prime. A catcher by trade, most scouts prefer the toolset in the outfield where his catch-and-throw will be less tested and his foot speed will be better utilized. He will be 19.2 years old for the draft.

141 OF
Coleman Lewis
Lowndes

HOMETOWN: Lake Park, Georgia

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 215

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Georgia Tech

The first thing that stands out about Lewis is just how strong he is. The lower-half is absolutely stacked with obvious strength spread throughout his thicker frame. He doubles as a middle linebacker at Lowndes and it's easy to see why. He engages his lower half and hips well in his swing with tight, hard turns getting to his pull-side with serious intent. The strength and bat speed show up in games too where Lewis has flashed above average game power, though scouts and evaluators believe he's just beginning to tap into what is plus raw power.

Lewis has shown well in tournament settings over the course of the last year with an OPS approaching .900. He's consistently getting to his pull-side, though ground ball rates have been a bugaboo in his overall offensive profile. Lewis does a pretty good job limiting strikeouts and whiffs, though he's been a fastball merchant through and through, struggling with sliders and occasionally swinging through changeups left in the zone. While he doesn't chase outside of the zone, he can get a bit anxious on high fastballs.

Lewis is a lumbering runner with average speed and a heavy-footed gait. He possesses above average arm strength and can handle either corner role at an average level. Lewis has become extremely physical and scouts may want to see what it looks like after a couple years at Georgia Tech. He will be 19 years old for the Draft and draft-eligible once again in 2027 if he gets to campus.

Reagan Ricken
Great Oak

HOMETOWN: Temecula, California

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: LSU

Ricken burst onto the scene in 2023 as a showcase pony, impressing scouts in Southern California with his physicality and burgeoning arsenal. He'll work up to 95, casually resting 92-93 with some arm-side run and a bit of carry. Despite his size and release height, the fastball has played quite well at the top of the zone. Ricken works in a nasty slider in the low-80s with late tilt and considerable bite. It's a deeper breaking ball with slurve shape. Ricken has shown feel for landing it on the bottom rail and working it away from right handers with consistency. The operation and mechanics here are simple and loose. He's going to throw a lot harder as he begins engaging his lower half more with maturation. Quite a high ceiling on this arm.

Tyler Wood
Lees Summit West

HOMETOWN: Lees Summit, Missouri

HEIGHT: 6-3

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Tennessee

Wood is a two-way player with sublime upside on both sides of his game. The projection and physicality here trump's most of his peers too. On the mound, he's already up to 95 with well-above average spin rates and a fastball with considerable carry over the upper-rail. He mixes in a low-to-mid 80s slider with downer tilt and conviction. There's some effort in Wood's operation, and it has affected his ability to consistently throw strikes at times, but the athleticism and explosive nature of his frame stands out going forward. Offensively, his exit velocities numbers rank near the top of his class, and most scouts foresee an above average runner at the next level. That said, scouts would like to see the overall hit tool move into a more polished position as we approach the 2025 draft. Wood has a plus throwing arm and looks destined for a corner. Most scouts see Wood on the mound going forward.

CJ Deckinga
Minooka Community

HOMETOWN: Shorewood, Illinois

HEIGHT: 6-4

WEIGHT: 203

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Michigan State

Deckinga opened some eyes at Super 60 in 2025 after being largely absent from the tournament and showcase circuit in 2024. In his limited samples, the strikeouts have stacked up. But 15 pounds heavier this spring, Deckinga looks like a more complete player.

The bat carries the profile here. It's above-average raw power with the frame to dream on more. Deckinga has strength in his lower half, but there's more coming in the shoulders and upper body. He's an average runner. His infield is consistent. He throws from a short, lower arm slot leading his throws to tail down the first base line, but he's on-target.

If Deckinga crushes Illinois pitching as July approaches, he could get paid out of his Michigan State commitment.

Landon Hodge
Crespi Carmelite

HOMETOWN: Agua Dulce, California

HEIGHT: 6-2

WEIGHT: 195

BAT/THROW: L-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Stanford

Hodge, a Stanford commit, stands out for his hitterish ways and use of the whole field offensively. Hodge is an aggressive hitter who isn't afraid to expand the zone in an effort to put the game in motion. He's handled fastballs and changeups well to this point in his amateur career, though he's swung through spin a bit more than scouts would like to see at this stage. The tools are interesting though. He's got a quiet demeanor at the plate with rhythmic triggers and boasts batting average sessions players twice his age would like to achieve. He hardly ever sells out for power in pre-game work, instead electing to stay inside the baseball and work line-to-line. Hodge has a quick arm behind the plate, and features some of the tools necessary to catch long-term, though scouts are split on whether he ends up there, or moves to second base or even left field moving forward. The upside at the plate stands out here, and it in-game production and metrics continue to improve, he could go off the board early.

146 1B/LHP
Cord Rager
Maypearl

HOMETOWN: Maypearl, Texas

HEIGHT: 6-5

WEIGHT: 230

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oklahoma

As far as left-handed bats go in the 2025 class, few carry the heavy barrel that Rager brings to the dish. He's athletic in the box and creates space, stretch and separation in his swing resulting in 'plus' bat speed and considerable raw power. Rager is going to slug, there's very little question on that. Whether he will hit enough to warrant a full-time role going forward remains in question, but he's slashed solid bat-to-ball skills against velocity with the learning curve of identifying spin still boring itself out.

Rager is a heavy-footed thunderous runner who still possesses enough foot speed to take the extra base on balls in the gap. He'll likely mature into a below average runner at the next level. He is plenty sufficient at first base.

Rager's athleticism stands out even more on the mound where he features a sound operation, a loose arm and is flexible and collected in his delivery. He's been up to 92 with some late life and bat-missing traits on the fastball. He also throws an upper-70s slider, a bigger, slower curveball and a low-80s changeup. Rager has legitimate two-way potential and will likely explore both fronts should he end up at school.

147 RHP
Keegan Russell
All Saints

HOMETOWN: Whitby, Ontario, Canada

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 240

BAT/THROW: L-R

Russell blew up during the summer and fall of 2024 after putting up gaudy performances in showcase settings. The massively imposing righty has an athletic looks to his delivery with easy stuff. The fastball is already touching 95 with carry and some late action in the zone, mostly tailing action though his shapes melt at times. He goes to a mid-to-upper 70s curveball early and often and has some feel for shaping the pitch. It's bigger for now, and Russell will broadcast it at times with a lower arm-slow, but it'll flash solid average and it's generally around the zone. He finishes off his menu with a mid-80s changeup that has some vertical plane and traits to like off the fastball. Russell is still rather green in terms of pitching. There's some low-hanging fruit to capitalize on in his delivery that should get him throwing hard in due time. The secondaries will undoubtedly benefit from further reps and tinkering too. There's obvious starter upside here, even if it's mostly unrealized at this stage.

148 LHP
Ethan Rogers
Lone Jack

HOMETOWN: Lone Jack, Missouri

HEIGHT: 6-1

WEIGHT: 185

BAT/THROW: L-L

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Wichita State

Rogers is a high-intensity lefty with a high-spin fastball that's been clocked as high as 94. He generates good carry on that pitch with metrics that should allow in-zone whiffs at the top of the zone. His mid-to-upper 80s slider is also a high-spin breaker with vertical tilt. There's a low-80s curveball and low-80s changeup that'll round out the arsenal. Rogers does have some effort behind his release, and he's not the most physically imposing arm on the mound. He has the look of a leveragable reliever at this stage, though he could round into form and be given a shot to start at the next level.

149 SS
Maddox Monsour
Carrollton

HOMETOWN: Carrollton, Georgia

HEIGHT: 5-11

WEIGHT: 190

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas

A barrel-chested infielder with broad shoulders and considerable thickness spread throughout his frame, Monsour brings back visions on Dan Uggla. Just 190 pounds now, Monsour looks the part of a guy who could eventually play at 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds on the dirt. He's a 'plus' runner with above-average bat speed and serious thump at the dish. Monsour makes extremely hard turns in the box and keeps his barrel through the zone for an extended period of time, capable of using the entire field pummeling ringing line drives. Monsour is a shortstop now, but he's heavy-footed at the position and is expected to outgrow the spot in due time. He has the hands and arm strength to play third base going forward, though second base seems like a realistic outcome too. Monsour is a plenty good enough athlete to move out to a corner outfield spot if forced off the dirt entirely. He's also a highly-respected football player who is decorated on the gridiron.

150 RHP
Trevor Kaiser
Hanford

HOMETOWN: West Richland, Washington

HEIGHT: 6-6

WEIGHT: 220

BAT/THROW: R-R

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon State

Kaiser and his 6-foot-6-inch frame have the prototypical look of a starting pitcher at the next level. He's an easy mover and syncs up well for size/age. It's a quiet, clean delivery with a lower slot for his size. At this point he's up to 91 mph w/carry and solid spin traits. He's shown some feel for shaping the slider, up to 79 thus far. Kaiser is also capable of moving the changeup the other way. This is an arm that fills up the zone and projects to throw harder as he matures into the sport. He should sit in the low-90s in due time. Kaiser looks the part.
