2024s

2024 RHP/OF Kaiden Lopez (Oviedo HS, FL)

Stetson commit. Was one of the top standouts at the event, further establishing himself as one of top two-way prospects in his class. Ran his fastball up to 94 mph while mostly pitching at 90-93. Mixed in an above average slider at 74-75 mph with 2500+ RPM and a 79-80 mph changeup. Fast, loose arm. Offensively he displayed pull side juice and produced plenty of hard line drives from the right side during batting practice as well. 90+ mph from the outfield. Lopez will continue to be a very strong follow.

2024 RHP Jacob Sams (Winter Park HS, FL)

Uncommitted arm to follow closely this upcoming spring as he creates a tough at-bat from a low, deceptive arm slot. Long, lean frame that features a fastball that sits 83-85 mph, touching 86 with 2450+ RPM. Also mixes in a nasty 73-75 mph slider with late action and 2650+ RPM along with a 71-72 mph changeup with fade. Creates off-balance swings with more in the tank.

2024 1B/OF Mikey Metcalf (Barron Collier, FL)

Uncommitted. Big frame with present strength throughout. Stood out offensively during batting practice when he showed off easy power to the pull side from the left side of the plate. Creates loud, hard contact with a present feel for the barrel. Impact bat suited to produce in the heart of the lineup. Strong follow. 

2024 RHP Dylan Jordan (Viera HS, FL) 

FSU Commit. Was one of the top arms in attendance at the event, running his fastball up to 93 mph. Works from a simple windup and the ball comes out of his hand with ease. Mostly sits 90-92 along with an above average slider at 78-79 mph and an 85-86 mph changeup with fade. Has become noticeably more physical, especially in the lower half. Very strong follow, more to come.

2025s

2025 LHP Thomas Achey (The First Academy, FL)

Uncommitted. Projectable frame that will continue to fill out. Displayed a loose, quick arm during his bullpen and sat 82-84 mph with his fastball. More in the tank and a jump could be coming fairly soon. Also mixed in a 75-77 mph changeup and a 71-72 mph curveball with depth. Strong follow this spring. 

2025 OF/LHP Kai Lwin (Bishop Moore Catholic, FL)

Uncommitted. Athletic frame and looks to have become more physical. Continued to stand out as a two-way prospect. During batting practice he consistently found the barrel and drove the ball deep into center and right-center field. Above average bat speed from the left side and showed some pull side juice as well. On the mound he works out of a higher ¾ arm slot and featured a fastball that sat 84-85 mph, touching 86 with run. More in there. Also mixed in a 70-71 mph curveball. Topped out at 85 mph on his throws from the outfield. Strong follow. 

2025 MIF Erick Martinez (The First Academy, FL)

Uncommitted. Athletic frame with some present strength throughout, still room to fill out. Stood out all throughout the pro-style workout. Defensively he ranges freely to his right and left, fielding the ball under control and making accurate and on line throws across the diamond. During batting practice he laced the ball back up the middle and deep into right-center field. Quick hands through the zone with a fluid, balanced swing from the right side. More power to come as he continues to develop. Strong follow.

2025 OF/1B Logan Inman (Lake Nona HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Big, physical frame that stands out. Fast, strong hands through the zone offensively from the right side. Created loud contact and drove the ball with intent all over the field during batting practice. Doesn’t get cheated and can barrel it up. Power bat that is suited to drive in plenty of runs. Strong follow. 

2026s

2026 RHP/OF Ethan Rathmann (Olympia HS, FL)

Miami commit. Was explosive in his bullpen, consistently sitting 87-88 mph with his fastball that showed life. Also mixed in a 76-78 slider with depth and an 82-83 mph changeup with some fade it. Above average athleticism as well which was seen when he clocked in at 6.56 seconds his 60 yard dash. Above average bat speed from the right side and can drive the ball back up the middle with intent. Topped out at 87 mph on his throws from the outfield. High-end prospect that will continue to be a very strong follow.

2026 RHP/UT Jayden Wise (Eustis HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Compact, athletic frame with above average instincts. Showcased himself everywhere on the field, showing the ability to play multiple positions, most notably at catcher. Throws were firm and to the bag. Makes the plays up the middle as well. Complemented his strong defensive showing with a standout round of batting practice. Quick hands with some present feel for the barrel. Sprayed line drives. Lots to like moving forward. Strong follow.

2026 RHP Sebastian Rolon (South Lake HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Lean frame with athleticism that projects. Really stood out during his bullpen with a fast arm and featured a fastball up to 85 mph. Mostly pitched at 82-84 and the ball comes out of his hand easy with more to come. Also mixed in a slider with depth at 75-77 mph along with a changeup in the low 70s. Some additional jumps in his overall stuff are coming. Strong follow. 

2026 MIF/OF Owen Swanson (Winter Springs HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Athletic frame and implements his lower half well. Stood out offensively with a simple approach and quick hands from the right side of the plate. Impacted the ball with intent and produced multiple hard line drives during his batting practice rounds. Expect to see jumps in power as he continues to become more physical.
