Wyatt Hanoian (2025, Costa Mesa, Calif.) showed off an impressive tool set. He features a strong, compact frame with strength throughout. In the box, his mature approach and advanced knowledge of the zone allow him to work deep into counts. The swing has above-average bat speed and natural loft that lead to frequently barreled balls. The switch-hitter mirrors the swing approach from both sides of the plate. He has the ability to take pitches on the outer half the other way extremely well. The bat speed, loft, and strength all combine for above-average power. On the dirt, he showed solid hands with fluid actions throughout. He has the ability to range well in all directions. The arm speed was on display when he took the mound, running the fastball up 85 mph. He is a mature ballplayer for his age that has the ability to provide value in a lot of ways. 

Brayden Charness (2026, Calabasas, Calif.) was impressive on the mound. He features a repeatable delivery with a quick, low three-quarters arm action. The left-hander showed off an impressive four-pitch mix. The fastball was up to sat 80-84 mph with slight arm-side run. His arm speed allows the offering to get on hitters quickly and generates whiffs when elevated. The changeup sat low-70s with fading action. He maintains arm speed well, creating solid deception. He also mixed in a slider at 70-72 mph with tight break and depth. Charness also flashed a mid-60s curveball with 11-5 action. The offering is not as sharp as the slider but still has swing-and-miss ability. He pounded the zone with all four offerings, putting away hitters quickly.
