IF Cian Copeland (Jensen Beach HS, FL)
Shows lots of potential from the left side of the plate offensively. Loose, quick hands through the zone that create hard contact. Finds the barrel often and along with deep drives into right and right-center field, he displays the ability to go the other way as well. Ball jumps off the bat and there’s still more power to come as the athletic frame will continue to fill out.
RHP Zach Hopper (The First Academy, FL)
Has recently run his fastball up to 90 mph along with a noticeably more physical frame. Mostly pitches at 86-89 with life while mixing in an 80-81 mph changeup and 77-79 mph slider with depth. Loose, quick arm with still more in there.
RHP Hector Escobar (Miami Christian, FL)
Shows plenty of upside on the mound with swing and miss stuff. Mostly sits at 85-88 mph with his fastball that shows run along with an above average slider at 76-78 mph with 2500+ RPM. Also mixes in an 80-81 mph changeup. Simple windup and pounds the strike zone. More in the tank.
IF Caden Simcox (Melbourne Central Catholic, FL)
Put on an impressive showing offensively this summer, producing multiple base hits at different events. Quick hands, some present feel for the barrel, and consistently finds a way on base. Drives the ball all over the field. Still more power to unlock. Top of the lineup hitter that can really get the offense going. Aggressive runner on the base paths as well.
RHP Andrew Furey (Bishop Moore Catholic, FL)
Big, strong frame and creates downhill action. Features a heavy fastball that he runs up to 88 mph while mostly sitting 84-87. Above average breaking ball that he throws consistently for strikes. Still more to come.
IF Maddox Lee (Trinity Christian Academy, FL)
Strong summer offensively as he displayed the ability to drive the ball over the fence, produce extra base hits into the gaps. Creates hard contact consistently. Physical frame. Confident defender on the left side of the infield as well with an above average arm.
MIF Maurice Days Jr. (A3 Academy, FL)
Continues to elevate his game and stand out all over the field. Smooth, advanced actions up the middle defensively along with above average range. Makes the tough plays. Fast, strong hands through the zone offensively that allow him to drive the ball deep into the gaps for extra base hits. Present pull side pop as well. Lots of upside.

Fast arm and projects to be an above average closer, high leverage bullpen arm. Runs his fastball up to 92 mph while sitting 88-91. Mixes in a 67-69 mph curveball with depth, shape and a 76-78 mph changeup. Works quickly.
