#Uncommitted ‘27 RHP Han Davis 17U Nation Not often you see a virtually unknown 6’4 190 arm ripping MLB avg SL’s with command to both sides of the dish. Plenty of velo to project on with his ability to spin a hard breaking ball, being at ground floor of his physical & mechanical ceiling. 6 K’s in 5.2 INN @ #BeastOfTheEast SNK 82-85 T86 (87 is PR) SL 77-78 T79 🥏🥏🥏 SPL 75-77

#Bearcats ‘26 CF Jamir Johnson 18U National Shows off his gifts to launch quickly in tight space & adjustability (front arm shrink, steepen top hand) to create room for barrel as he sends this low & in 87.6 mph FB 400+ ft to dead center w/ flick of wrists. Hands setup close to hitting zone and barrel pre set near launch lends him early readiness vs velo. Add in the short+efficient path & plus twitch, this is a player who isn’t going to be beat by velo even when quick pitched. Pitch recognition (spit on CB, foul CB HR) put him in position to get this FB.

‘29 SS Easton Housewright 15U National Has graduated into a different tier of hitter since turning left center swing direction into muscle memory and has drastically increased EV’s+power pro on outer half pitches. Expanding his hot zones, ability to manipulate back shoulder & barrel creates adjustability to all pitch types+locations. Fearless in no man’s land vs any velo, exceptional force in hands thru contact. Future plus actions in MIF. Dependable in the clutch.

‘28 SS Aiden Watson 16U Nation Shocking display of🧃as he sends one ACROSS THE STREET at Brook Run Park for solo 💣 🤯 Already showing exceptional bat speed+strength @ ground floor of physical ceiling, it’s easy to project 6 raw power (conservatively). Great example of how to deliver barrel w/ hands late in path (in front of body). Instinctive & accurate from all angles at SS. Already A/AVG runner. Fluid, sequenced move w/ controlled, well timed pace. Advanced separation timing allows him to maximize space & stretch. Elite torque in barrel tip only adds to rotational acceleration. Holds coil in stride exceptionally well, rare ability to maintain internal connection (on inside back foot) thru turn. Ideal weight distro in upper half for loft.

‘28 C/IF Hank Drew 16U WF Toronto Toronto Blue Jays Future every day MLB catcher or corner IF with All-Star potential. Offensive profile shows all characteristics to be a future A/AVG (55) or better hit tool w/ AVG or better Power Pro. Multidimensional approach pitchers can’t plan for, unpredictable. Just as likely to go 1st pitch 💣 as he is 12 pitch BB. Quarterback of the defense - advanced pitch calling, receiving, awareness. Great communicator, knows hitter’s tendencies. 1.98 to 2.05 pop times in game this spring. What makes him a future 55 or better bat? •Pro Approach - Cover the outer half, react inside •Elite pitch recognition, accurate processing+decision making, natural and trained adjustability •Controls effort in swing like a pro, never taking undisciplined 100% hacks. Stays 70-85%. •Head/eyes stay down on ball thru contact •Lets ⚾️ travel - Backside dominant hitter (head stays stacked over inside of back hip). More time to process movement+location & more time to react. •Rare swing mechanics - Ability to turn barrel in compact space, precise adjustability for each pitch location (shoulder planes, swing direction, arm adjustments). Elite top hand+back shoulder connection, elbows work close to body, shoulders always on pitch 🛬 •Rare hand-eye coordination •Rare timing - When to move & be in position to hit relative to pitchers delivery, great feel for location based contact points •Quickly understands pitcher’s approach vs him & tendencies •Walks twice as much as he K’s •50% oppo, 50% pull batted ball profile •Exceptional with 2 strikes. Wastes pitches with ease •Perfect hitter mindset. QAB’s & barrels over hits, not results based •Confidence is unwavering •OUTLIER MLB bloodlines

‘29 RHP/1B Reid Olivier 15U National Suffocated hitters w/ 7.0 extension on a dominant FB/SL tunnel giving them little time to decide & react.

‘28 SS Aiden Watson 16U Nation 6’0 182. Already barreling 95+ inner half FB’s vs 1st Rd arms w/ ease. He’s able to barrel plus MLB FB velo due to rare timing in all 3 phases, standout readiness, pro quality swing mechanics & rare twitch. His feel to simultaneously load hands inward (keeps him compact+inside ⚾️) and maintain optimal fluidity in & out of launch allow him to build momentum in the barrel while promoting tight/efficient turns. His textbook launch position and ability to adduct & supinate creates an ideal swing path for loft. Rangy defender at SS w/ very smooth hands. Also one of top QB’s 🏈 in state for class. Easy D1 follow & future draft prospect.

#Bearcats ‘26 CF Jamir Johnson 6’3 190, Locust Grove HS, GA (18U National) Scouting Report Future everyday CF (occasional All-Star potential) who plays the game with calm temperament and rare ease of effort. A unique blend of tools, intangibles, projection, but with MLB ready swing mechanics. These elite mechanics create more reaction time, adjustability, and power pro, while allowing more room for error. In short, he gets more hits than other prospects on marginal barrels or being early/late (mechanical breakdown pinned in comments). This fits ideally with his advanced pitch recognition & controlled effort, putting him in counts of strength and enabling him to lay off quality pitches outside the zone. Wherever the run tool ends up settling in, plus range in CF seems automatic with his impressive anticipation, reads, smooth routes, and long gliding strides. As he physically matures, being a consistent 20/20 guy (HR/SB) at ML level is well within reach. While he may not end up with any top of scale tools, he does everything well and most importantly will hit. The prototype lean & rangy frame offers considerable ceiling and will have clubs dreaming on more. Hit: 35/50 Ideal selective-aggressive approach, real chance for A/AVG. Raw Power: 45/55. Could tap into more Power Pro: 4/55. Consistent HR, 2B vs top arms in class Run: 55/55. Covers ground w/ ease Field: 45/55. Natural tracking, future plus range Arm: 5/5. Solid carry, accurate Separators - Pitch Recognition, Swing Mechanics, Ease of Effort, Projection Player Comp: Mike Cameron (potentially more hit, less defense) OFP: 52. (Ceiling 55, floor 48). #mlbdraft #travelbaseball #hitting #baseball #D1

#Chipola ‘26 SS Devin Kendall 17U Nation 6’3 175. Top of scale run (3.92 bunt, 3.99-4.01) w/ pro actions & lightning twitch in box make him the most athletic 2026 draft prospect in a top 5 MLB player producing state (GA). Standout ease of effort & body balance in all facets. Near plus bat speed well before physical ceiling. 1st step quickness and lengthy gliding strides will allow top of scale run to play true on basepaths. Could be special defender in CF. Natural reads, standout range, and rare footwork at SS w/ future AVG arm. Turns 18 just days b4 draft. This is a potential plus defender in CF for me with future A/AVG or better defense at 2B the backup plan (if arm ends up light for SS). Outside of elite athleticism - his spin recognition, ability to ctrl effort, rhythm+timing, and feel 2 waste pitches lead me to believe it’s an AVG hit tool down the line. The fact he’s played much less high level baseball compared to other GA ‘26 prospects should not be held against him, it’s a positive for his ceiling as a hitter and overall. This caliber of athlete will fly past peers when seasoned vs quality arms. Prototype CF/SS frame w/ future top of scale bat speed as he physically matures should bring easy 6 raw power.

#Harvard ‘27 RHP/IF Max Boehm🔒17U Nation‼️ 6’2 180. Two way ATH moves w/ intent and urgency, most importantly delivery+AA build gradual pace and momentum. Slight crossfire, L3/4 slot create tough angle for hitters & live HZ action on all pitches. Lower release height and spin efficiency allow 4 SM to play effectively up in zone despite being lower spin. SW is separator he can land at will, potential for plus command of it. 4 SM 86-88 (T19 IVB & HZB) SW 73-75 (-16 HZB avg, T20) 2.4-2.6k CH 76-78 (1.4k, 14 HZB) CB 69-71 His understanding/feel for creating momentum, sequencing, timing of upper half stack+creating space, holding counter rotation late in stride all point to imminent velo jump. When combined with notable twitch, ideal AA (loose, full, quick, on time) his future looks very bright and you can see the pro potential out of Harvard. #GoCrimson #OneCrimson 1st three clips by Nokona Baseball Club
