2023 MIF Braden Holcomb (Foundation Academy, FL)
Vanderbilt commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds on a tall, physical, athletic frame. One of the top prospects in his class nationally as he immediately stands out when he steps on the field. Above average athleticism that has been shown previously with 60 times in the 6.7 area. Lightning bat speed, finds the barrel consistently for loud, hard contact, and can drive the ball deep into the gap or over the wall. Registered a top exit velocity of 108 mph during batting practice which included one of the pitches going way over the left field wall. Ball explodes off the bat. Up the middle he ranges freely to his left and right, fielding the ball under control and with confidence. Throws across the diamond topped out at 94 mph. Will be a top draft follow in the state for his class over the next year and a half.
2024 RHP Zach Hopper (Lake Nona HS, FL)
Florida commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 160 pounds on a long, lean frame that projects. Loose, quick arm and showed a nice jump during his bullpen. Featured a fastball that sat 85-87 mph, touching 88 with run. Showed a real feel for his 69-70 mph curveball that displayed depth, tighter spin along with an above average changeup at 76-77 mph. Throws all the pitches in his arsenal for strikes and there’s much more in there.
2025 LHP Kai Lwin (The First Academy, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with athleticism, some present strength throughout. Clean, repeatable delivery with a loose arm, featuring a fastball that sat 80-82 mph while also mixing in a low to mid 70s changeup. Offensively he showed off a quick, sweet swing from the left side during batting practice. Was able to produce multiple hard line drives to the pull side with more power to come as he continues to develop. Young two-way to follow moving forward.
2026 OF Ethan Rathmann (Olympia HS, FL)
Currently stands at 5-foot-9, 150 pounds on a lean, athletic frame. Young player that really stood out throughout the entire weekend, held his own going up against players a grad class older.

Offensively he showed present bat speed and produced multiple line drives back up the middle during batting practice. Confident approach and stays balanced throughout. Works in rhythm. Also showed off an above average arm from the outfield during defensive drills, topping out at 85 mph. Young player with multiple above average tools that will be a strong follow moving forward.
2023 RHP/C Derek Lopez (Olympia HS, FL)
FIU commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 172 pounds with lots of athleticism. Lopez can really do it all and showed it throughout the weekend. On the mound he displayed a fast arm and mostly sat 88-89 mph with his fastball. Quick, up tempo-delivery and pounds the strike zone. Also mixed in a 77-78 mph changeup and 69-72 mph curveball with depth. The switch hitter whips his hands through the zone and creates loud contact from both sides of the plate, producing multiple line drives with pull side juice from the right side. Big arm from behind the plate with a very quick release and above average footwork, allowing him to fire the ball down to the bag with carry and accuracy. Throws topped out at 84 mph with pop times in the 1.88-1.93 seconds range. Legit two-way prospect who can make lots of impact throughout the lineup.

Ball really jumps off the bat and he ripped several pitches right back up the middle during batting practice. Showed some present pull side juice as well. Has made some noticeable improvements behind the plate defensively as well as his throws have come out quicker, translating to a best pop time of 2.0. Accurate throws as well. Backstop with an impact left-handed bat. Strong follow.
