2026 LHP Elijah Dyer (Lake Mary HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Put together a lights-out performance during game action as he struck out multiple batters during his outing. Loose, easy working arm featuring a fastball up to 87 mph with life, a 79-80 mph changeup with fade, and a low 70s curveball that shows break with depth. Pounds the strike zone and mixes up his arsenal well.
2026 OF Maddux Wolf (Canterbury HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Was a top offensive standout, both during game action and pro-style workout. Present physicality throughout, notably in the lower half with fast, strong hands through the zone from the left side. Produced two base hits while in-game and hammered the ball to the pull side deep to the right field wall during batting practice. Aggressive hitter who looks to jump on his pitch to hit.
2026 RHP/MIF Princeton Marino (Mariner HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Pounded the strike zone in his outing, running his fastball up to 89 mph with life while sitting 86-88. Generated multiple swings and misses. Curveball sits 73-74 mph with depth, sharp break. Quick arm, more in there. Still more jumps to come in his overall arsenal. Present above average athleticism who topped out at 90 mph and ran a sub 6.5 60-yard dash.
2026 1B/OF Trevor Jones (Estero HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Really stood out from an offensive standpoint from the left side of the plate as the hands were loose and quick through the zone with present strength that translated to multiple hard hit line drives during batting practice. Physical lower half and implements it into his swing. This was also seen in game play as he produced multiple extra base hits that banged off the right field wall.
2026 C Morgan Waltz (Mariner HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Lean and athletic frame that will continue to fill out, translate to jumps in his overall game. Above average bat speed from the right side of the plate with some present feel for the barrel. Drives the ball back up the middle and to the pull side. Made an impact during game action with a base hit into the gap along with a sac fly that was driven deep into left-center field to bring in a run. Throws to the bag are accurate and to the bag from behind the plate.
2026 1B/RHP JT Costello (Bishop Moore Catholic, FL)
Uncommitted. Big, physical frame and put on a show during batting practice with his raw power, finding the barrel for loud drives deep into left, left-center field. Strong hands and swings with intent. RBI producer in the lineup. Shows real upside on the mound as well with an upper 80s fastball that still has more to come.
2026 IF Luke Ramsey (Lake Nona HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Athletic frame with some present strength throughout. Stood out during batting practice as he caught several barrels and drove the ball with intent. Good shift of the weight that uses the whole body with authority. Repeated mechanics. Works gap to gap with pop from the right side. Produced a double during game action that was ripped to left field. Up to 85 mph across the diamond and clocked in at 6.75 seconds for his 60 yard dash time.
2026 IF Kiernan Bernaldo (South Fort Myers HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Has a big, physical frame and creates loud, hard contact that sent the ball deep into left field and the left-center field wall during batting practice. Middle of the order type bat.
2027 RHP Anthony Marmolejos (Tohopekaliga HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Generated lots of swings and misses during his outing. Showed an above average feel for the curveball, throwing it for strikes with depth and tighter spin. Up to 85 mph with his fastball with more in there, low 70s on the breaker. Upper 70s changeup too. Still more in the tank and a jump in velocity is coming in the near future.
2027 MIF Alex D’Altrui (Fort Myers HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Lean and athletic frame that projects. Lots to like moving forward from an offensive standpoint. Produced plenty of hard line drives off the bat during his batting practice rounds from the right side as he works from a wide base with loose, quick hands. More gap-to-gap power to come. Up to 82 mph on the mound as well.
2027 RHP Miles Wolf (TNXL Academy, FL)
Uncommitted. Shows real upside on the mound, throwing his full arsenal for strikes. Up to 82 mph with his fastball (more to come) and the curveball (low 70s) and slider (upper 70s) shows depth, shape. Mid 70s changeup too.Repeats well and stays poised.
2027 UTIL/RHP David Amaya (Aubrey Rogers HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Made an impact as a two-way during game action. Offensively he delivered a shot in the right center gap for a standup double. On the mound he featured a fastball that sat 80-82 mph, touching 83 with good life and carry on the baseball. Above average defender that can play anywhere on the field.
2028 IF Cooper Cecilione (Titusville HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Tall and athletic frame with room to fill out. Drove the ball deep into the gaps during his batting practice rounds, showing a present feel for the barrel. More power to come and worked from a confident approach.
2028 MIF Rhett Plunkett (Merritt Island HS, FL)
Uncommitted. Showed quick hands, the ability to spray the ball all over during batting practice from the left side. Trusts his hands and allows them to do the work through the zone. More power to unlock to the pull side.
