2023 OF Anthony Cole (Montverde Academy, FL)
Florida Gulf Coast commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds on an extra large frame, still room to fill out. Offensively he shows plenty of big power potential as his present strength allows him to really drive the baseball deep, especially to the pull side. Ability to change the game with one swing. Loose, accurate arm from right field during defensive drills, topping out at 85 mph on his throws. Power bat to follow closely.

2024 MIF Austin Jacobs (Hagerty HS, FL)
FSU commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 165 pounds with present athleticism, frame that still projects to become more physical. Above average feel for the game showing smooth, athletic actions up the middle. Throws across the diamond topped out at 87 mph and were accurate to the bag. Offensively is where he really shines though as he works under control and with confident hands. During batting practice he laced multiple pitches right back up the middle, showing a present feel for the barrel and working with confidence and in rhythm. Top of the order hitter who can drive in the key runs. Strong follow.

2025 RHP Kyle Hopper (Lake Nona HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-4, 165 pounds on a long, lean, projectable frame. Continues to be a young arm to closely follow as multiple jumps are coming. Displayed a heavy fastball that sat 80-82 mph while also mixing in a 73-74 mph changeup that he showed an above average feel for, throwing it for strikes. Also flashed a 64-65 mph curveball that was sharp when he stayed on top of it. Much more in the tank and as he begins to refine his mechanics, look for him to be a difference maker on the hill. 

2026 RHP Tyler Arafet (The First Academy, FL)
Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 150 pounds on a lean, projectable frame. Stood out during his bullpen when he showed a loose, clean arm and filled up the strike zone. Fastball mostly sat 75-77 mph and worked both sides of the plate. Mixed in a 65-67 mph curveball while also showing an above average feel for his changeup. Offensively, he took an impressive round of batting practice, driving the ball deep into right-center and left-center field. Creates hard contact. Young player to watch moving forward.

2023 OF Jaden Bastian (The First Academy, FL)
Jacksonville commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds with above average athleticism, strong lower half. Clocked in at 6.62 for his 60 yard dash time, displaying quick athletic strides and picking up speed as he gets going. Offensively, he works from a simple approach and displayed above average bat speed, driving the ball into the gaps during batting practice. 

2024 RHP/C Eli Fleming (Oviedo HS, FL)
Pittsburgh commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds on a physical, athletic frame. Has made a noticeable jump on the mound as he touched 89 mph with his fastball during his bullpen, mostly sitting 85-88. Also mixed in a 74-75 mph slider with depth and a 79-80 mph changeup. Quick arm, throws a heavy fastball. 

2025 INF/OF Roy Rodriguez (Edgewater HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-7, 136 with athletic, quick twitch actions. Up the middle defensively he showed above average footwork with a very accurate and on-line arm across the diamond. Offensively he showed present bat speed and was able to work up the middle with quick hands.

2023 IF Luke Peterson (Newsome HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-10, 150 pounds on a lean, athletic frame. Room to fill out. Stood out defensively as he displayed very clean actions up the middle, suited to stay on the left side of the infield. Sound defender and has confident hands. More power to come offensively as he continues to fill out.

2024 IF Thomas Bly (Sickles HS, FL)
Louisville commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds on a tall, physical frame. Bly immediately stands out with his frame and it translates offensively, showing big power potential. The ball really jumps off the bat and he was able to send several pitches a long way into deep left field. Present pull side juice with loud contact. Suited to drive in runs in the heart of the order. 

2025 INF/OF Hunter Wallace (Seminole HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 155 pounds on a projectable frame, room to add strength. Present above average athleticism. Stood out as a sound defender up the middle. Keeps it simple and clean. Throws across the diamond are accurate and show carry. 

2023 OF Anthony DeVita (Apopka HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds on an athletic frame, still room to fill out and strengthen his frame. Stood out offensively with a quick bat, was able to produce multiple hard hit line drives back up the middle. Up to 85 mph with his fastball on the mound as well, showing an above average arm. Clocked in at 6.95 for his 60 yard dash time as well. 

2024 MIF Ethan Koller (Mount Dora Christian, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-9, 140 pounds on a frame with present athleticism, room to fill out. Fast hands with a whippy path through the zone from the left side offensively. Looks to impact the baseball out in front and barreled a few pitches up for hard hit line drives to the pull side. More power to come as he continues to fill out. 

2024 MIF JD Rojas (Lake Brantley HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds on a compact, athletic frame. Above average defender who displayed advanced actions up the middle. Quick feet and ranges freely to his left and right. Stays under control and his throws are very accurate to the bag.
