2023 Uncommitted Gems: Georgia | West Coast | Four Corners | Texahoma | Coastal | Midwest


Thomas White (2023, Rowley, Mass.) checks a ton of boxes when thinking of a future frontline ace. Whether it be his easy low-90s fastball, immensely projectable 6-foot-5, 200-pound frame or his ability to consistently pound the strike zone with potentially four pitches. White assuredly has his pick of schools, as the highest ranked uncommitted player in the class of 2023. The ease of operation and consistent ability to sink up his long levers, allow for his 92-95 mph to look effortless. The Rowley, Mass. native has been electric at every stop along the circuit and will be a massive pickup for any recruiting class.
 

Dylan Vigue (2023, Leominster, Mass.) is an intriguing two-way talent with plenty of upside on both sides of the ball. The athleticism and versatility certainly stand out, as Vigue has the potential to be an asset at either corner position in both the infield and outfield. The Leominster, Mass. native has plenty of arm strength and athletic actions to stick at the hot corner long term, while showcasing power potential and the rocket of an arm to man right field seamlessly. The x-factor comes on the mound, as the 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-hander has been into the upper-80s (T91) with the ability to spin the baseball. Recruiting coordinators thoughts on where he may end up long term will certainly play a factor in where he ultimately ends up.
  
Amari Allen (2023, Washington, D.C.) is a physical LHP/1B with loads of present strength throughout his 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame. He has run his fastball up to 91 mph in previous looks, while effortlessly pounding the strike zone with two promising secondary offerings. He amassed 25 strikeouts in just 15 2/3 innings in 2021, while collecting two wins and walking just seven. At the plate, he incorporates a leveraged left-handed stroke with immense impact potential and barrel skills to go with his burgeoning in-game power potential. He provides smooth glove actions at first base and could provide a unique two-way skill set for any recruiting class.




Nicolas LoBello (2023, New York, N.Y.) is a quick-twitch ball of energy that impressed throughout 2021 with his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. A 6.46 runner in the sixty, LoBello moves exceptionally well in the outfield from gap-to-gap and possess above-average arm strength that has been up to 92 mph. At the plate, he uses an advanced approach and good hand-eye to control the barrel throughout the hitting zone. Couple that with a quick, short swing path and the ability to adjust well from pitch-to-pitch, and you have a dynamic top-of-the lineup type hitter with upside as he continues to mature.
 

Royer Stanley Moreno-Cedeno (2023, Englewood, N.J.) was impressive over the summer and continued that into the fall, as he delivered good performances at both the WWBA Northeast Qualifier and the WWBA World Championships. The 6-foot, 185-pound lefty comes right at hitters with his upper-80s fastball, maneuvering it to all four quadrants effectively and allowing for his natural arm-side life to take its course. He pairs it with a well-tunneled breaking ball that flashes a tight spin profile and late bite. Cedeno brings a bulldog mentality and toughness that bodes well for any situation and will be a welcome addition to any recruiting class.
 


Charles Batista (2023, Weehawken, N.J.) has the potential to provide an immediate impact to any recruiting class in a variety of ways. Whether it be his ability to run his fastball into the upper-80s from an athletic, repeatable delivery or his smooth, easy swing at the plate that projects for more power as he continues to mature. Add-in the ability to play both a corner infield or outfield position and you have an extremely valuable asset that will make an impact to any locker room. The projection remaining may dictate his final destination positionally, but the upside on the mound, at the plate and in the field are certainly intriguing enough to be a big-time pickup for any program.
  

Cole Frye (2023, Egg Harbor TWP, N.J.) is a hulking 6-foot-5 primary right-handed pitcher that has continued to get better each time we’ve seen him. He comes at hitters with a fastball that has been as high as 88 mph, while flashing a tight, late-biting curveball for both strikes and swings and misses. The fastball has heavy life to it, as Frye pounds all four quadrants with it effectively. Add in a developing changeup that has the ingredients to be a promising third offering and you have all the makings of a future starter’s profile. There is still room for the uncommitted 2023 grad to add more strength and should see another uptick in velocity once that occurs. The South Jersey native will be a welcome addition to any recruiting class and should provide immediate innings upon arriving on campus.
 

Matthew Galli (2023, Mount Sinai, N.J.) is another intriguing uncommitted prospect from New York state and has all the makings of an impact arm at the next level. The athletically-built right-hander attacks aggressively with his fastball that has been up to 90 mph, practically daring hitters to square him up. Couple that with a hellacious breaking ball that has both horizontal and vertical tilt to its shape, and you have a high-octane arsenal that can stymie lineups. The arm stroke is quick and whippy, while staying relatively online through the backside. The delivery is athletic and repeatable, allowing for him to use his quick twitch 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame effectively down the slope. Look for Galli to continue adding velocity and refining his present mix, while becoming a welcome addition to someone’s 2023 recruiting class.
 

Kayden Faulcon (2023, Yardley, Pa.) is an athletic-framed right-hander with plenty of upside remaining. The uncommitted 2023 grad has been into the low-90s with his fastball in previous looks, while creating uncomfortable at-bats for hitters with his long, whippy arm action. Faulcon creates tons of angle to his fastball, maneuvering it well to both sides of the plate and expanding up in the zone when necessary. He pairs it with a tight, late-biting slider and well-replicated changeup, as both secondary offerings provide plenty of swings and misses. The full starter’s kit of pitches and durability of his frame should allow him to start at the next level. Look for the Yardley, Pa. native to add a few more ticks to his fastball over the next year and will be an enticing addition to anyone’s 2023 class.
 
Miguel Hugas (2023, Gibsonia, Pa.) burst onto the scene at the 18U WWBA National Championship this past summer, where the sturdy-framed right-hander ran his fastball up to 92 mph over the course of three appearances for his Chi Town Cream squad. He held steady in the upper-80s for the duration of his work, while flashing two promising secondary offerings. The operation is simple and repeatable with good usage of his lower half down the slope, while the arm stroke is loose and easy through release. Hugas once again was stellar at the 18U PG World Series, where he punched out 10 hitters across 6 2/3 innings and continued to show the very intrigue that should have college coaches salivating.

Matthew Leahy (2023, Swedesboro, N.J.) is a hard-nosed, high-energy player with a fundamentally sound skill set and upside as he continues to physically mature. The primary infielder can man all three infield spots as needed, but profiles better at either second or third long term. Leahy brings a quick first step, good lateral movement to either side and is about as sure-handed as they come. At the plate, he exhibits a sound approach with good feel for his barrel and the ability to use the whole field. He can impact the baseball with backspin from gap-to-gap and has some sneaky juice. The Swedesboro, N.J. native is the type of player that any staff will love for his gritty toughness and ability to make the routine, routine.

Daniel Ciprian (2023, Linden, N.J.) is an interesting two-way talent with a ton of projection remaining on both sides of the ball. The long, lean MIF/RHP has smoothness to his actions in the infield and possesses more than enough arm strength to stick on the left side long term, while showing plenty of present bat speed and power potential at the plate. Add in a high upside on the mound, where Ciprian has worked into the upper-80s from a quick, whippy slot and you have a potential impact two-way prospect. The Linden, N.J. native should continue to add more strength as he continues to mature, allowing for plenty of things to dream upon for staffs looking for additions to their 2023 class.


Michael Chiaravallo (2023, Cream Ridge, N.J.) is another uncommitted 2023 grad from the Garden State that brings a hard-nosed mentality to the field each time out. Exceptional barrel skills and big-time juice are the carrying tools at the moment, but Chiaravallo is also a well-rounded athlete with good instincts and closing speed in the outfield. He possesses enough arm strength presently to man all three spots in the grass. The Cream Ridge, N.J. native hit .444 in 2021, showcasing the previously mentioned juice with seven doubles and four home runs. Look for him to continue expanding his overall tools, as he physically matures and should provide a boost to any class looking for an impact bat.
 

Reece Moroney (2023, Fair Haven, N.J.) was mightily impressive in 2021, as the athletically-built infielder hit .442 (38-for-86), while amassing 14 extra-base hits and 27 RBI. The Fair Haven, N.J. native incorporates a simple, repeatable swing at the plate with quickness to his hands and the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields. Couple that with good lateral range to either side and arm strength up to 88 mph across, and you have a sure-handed defender with enough arm to stick on the left side long term. The intriguing portion of his game is the continual ability to get the barrel to the baseball regardless of pitch type or location, boding well for him to continue to hit at any level for a long time. Moroney should add some strength to his 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame as he continues to mature and will provide an immediate impact to any recruiting class.
