2023s

2023 OF Jaden Bastian (The First Academy, FL)

Jacksonville commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 178 pounds with present above average athleticism and a physical lower half. Clocked in at 6.67 seconds for his 60 yard dash, flashing his above average speed with quick, athletic strides. This translated to game action where he ran straight back in center field on a hard hit deep fly ball, covering a ton of ground to make an over the shoulder catch for the out. Also delivered a standup double to deep left field during game action as well. Fast hands through the zone with some pop. Strong follow. 

2023 RHP Hunter Jones (North Marion HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-3, 165 pounds on a tall, projectable frame. Long limbs. Was one of the top arms as he sat 87-90 mph with his fastball that showed late life and jumped out of his hand. Also mixed in an 80-81 mph changeup and an above average 75-77 mph slider with depth. More in the tank with another jump coming soon. Strong follow this fall. 

2023 OF Brody Pezza (Oviedo HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 168 pounds on an athletic frame with a noticeably stronger lower half. Pezza stood out offensively throughout the summer and continued to show his offensive potential during batting practice. Loose, quick hands and drove the ball all over the field, most notably to left field with some pull side pop. The frame projects to continue to fill out which should translate to jumps in power. Topped out at 86 mph on his throws from the outfield. Recently named to the DPM 2022 Summer All-Uncommitted 2nd Team. 

2023 RHP Cooper Ellingworth (Boone HS, FL)

USC-Upstate commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with a stronger lower half. Displayed a quick arm, running his fastball up to 89 mph while mostly sitting 87-88. Also flashed a 79-81 mph slider with depth. Works down in the zone and throws a high percentage of strikes. Arm that has a chance to make another jump this fall. Strong follow. 

2023 1B Guillermo Yepes (Windermere HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds on a big, strong frame. Stood out offensively during batting practice when he created loud, hard contact multiple times with deep drives into left and left-center field. Above average feel for the barrel with present power. Suited to drive in runs in the heart of the order. 

2024s

2024 IF Jack Waddingham (Windermere HS, FL)

Stetson commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds on a long, athletic frame. Has become more physical recently, still room to fill out. Was one of the most impressive players offensively throughout the weekend, both during the workout day and game action. Took one of the best batting practice rounds of the entire group and the ball really jumped off the bat. Fast, loose hands from the left side with a present feel for the barrel and the ability to drive the ball deep into both gaps. This translated to the game when he laced a ball deep to the right field wall for a double. Continues to trend upward, strong follow. 

2024 MIF Julius Pfau (Berkeley Prep, FL)

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds on a compact, athletic frame. Offensively he stays direct to the ball and sprayed it all over the field during his batting practice rounds. Allows his quick hands to work out in front and drive it with intent. Up the middle defensively he ranges freely to his left and right, fielding the ball under control and with confidence. Accurate throws across the diamond, topping out at 85 mph. Clocked in at 6.70 for his 60 yard dash as well. Strong follow.

2024 RHP Dylan Jordan (Viera HS, FL)

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds on a tall, projectable frame. Showed lots of upside on the mound throughout the weekend with a quick arm and a fastball that really jumped out of his hand. Mostly sat 89-91 mph, touching 92 with life. Also mixed in a 72-74 mph curveball along with a 78-79 mph above average slider with depth and an 82-83 mph changeup. Threw lots of strikes during game action and commanded the strike zone well. Should be at the top of lists for arms to follow this fall in the 2024 class.

Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot, 210 pounds with present strength throughout. Power bat from the left side that impacts the baseball with intent.
