Luke Pappano (2025 LHP, Cincinnati, Ohio) showed why he is ranked as the number one LHP in his class by Perfect Game today, striking out six in four innings pitched and only allowing one run on two hits.  Pappano is a strong, athletic player that used this frame to sit 80-83 mph with the fastball and touching 84 mph a couple of times.  He went right after hitters with the heat, working ahead against almost every hitter he faced.  Once ahead, he leaned on his firm 12-6 curveball to earn swings and misses.

Anthony Espinoza (2025 MIF, Boynton Beach, Fla.) showed his two-way potential today, working two innings in relief on the mound and doing a nice job of handling the stick at the plate.  On the mound, he sat 78-81 mph with his fastball from a side arm delivery, generating a lot of run on this pitch.  He also featured a slider that came in at 73 mph.  He pitched to contact today, ending the day with two strikeouts and allowing two runs on four hits.  At the plate, Espinoza keeps it simple and stays short to the ball.  He did a nice job getting on top of a high fastball, lining it up the middle for a base knock. 

Zahir Barjam (2025 SS, Miami, Fla.) continued his hot start from yesterday today, showcase the plus power ability.  He has an aggressive approach, looking to make pitchers pay for trying to start ahead on him.  That approach worked out to the tune of a 2-for-3 day at the plate with a double and a homerun.  The double in his first at bat was a line drive that he roped down the line off a pitcher that had velocity.  He was able to get his hands inside the ball and turn on the inside heater.  In his second at bat, he jumped on another first pitch fastball and sent a high fly ball that landed over the fence down the line in left.  Barjam is an athletic player that swings with intent at the plate.

Miguel J. Maldonado Bonet (2025 SS, Cataño, Puerto Rico) utilized his nice, balanced swing to line a ball to left-center field that he legged out for a double.  He was efficient running the bases and displayed an aggressive mindset on the bases, stretching what would be a single for most players into the aforementioned double.  He has good barrel control and is not afraid to utilize the entire field.

Cristian De Los Santos (2024 3B, Miami, FL) is a big and strong young Dominican with present bat speed and outstanding extension through the zone.  It's a long and loose swing that promises big power in the future.

Zahir Barjam (2025 SS, Miami, FL) was timed up from the very first swing and showed a power approach that fit his strong, compact build well.  The right handed hitter really sunk into his back hip well to drive his swing.

Luke Pappano (2025 LHP, Cincinnati, OH) is one of the top two-way talents in the 2025 class and his batting practice session did nothing to discourage that line of thought.  The left handed hitter has a smooth and fluid swing with big lower half and hip action into his swing and can create big backspin and carry.

Mark Aleman (2025 LHP, Weston, FL) is another primary left handed hitter with tons of offensive potential as well.  He still has lots of growing to do into his 5-11/145 frame but the left handed swing is loose and fluid with very consistent timing.

Malakhi Boone (2025 OF, Webster, FL) has the advantage of being 6-1/225 along with the strength that's given him but he has a very simple swing that serves that size well and really sees the ball well.  He squared up almost every ball and sent a couple of them deep into the left field parking lot.

Tyler Ellis (2026 1B, Kingsland, GA) was playing in the PG 12U Festival last summer but the move to the bigger field looks like no problem for the strong left handed hitter.  He throws his very strong hips well to develop bat speed and hit very consistent hard line drives to the right side.

Francis Garcia (2026 SS, Toa Baja, PR) has a lean and projectable 5-9/130 build and a short and direct swing with good extension through contact.  He showed a very accurate line drive barrel and some jump for a 13 year old.

Griffin Miller (2026 OF, Palm Beach, FL) is an older seventh grader with a big 6-0/160 build and lots of raw bat speed.  He has a well-timed power oriented approach and a good swing for consistently lifting the ball.

Logan Inman (2025 OF, Orlando, FL) looks the part of the hitting prospect at 6-1/170 and gets lots of extension and separation in his swing for future power gains.

Gabriel Rodriguez (2025 SS, Orlando, FL) did a nice job of working the ball gap to gap, using his quick hands and accurate barrel to consistently make hard line drive contact. 

Jalen Foxx (2025 OF, Sanford, FL) showed a confident left handed approach in the box, with good bat speed and a gap to gap approach that had some young polish.  His 5-8/130 build has lots of growing left to do as well.

Anthony Espinoza (2025 MIF, Boynton Beach, FL) has a big 6-0/160 build that gives him the strength for some present bat speed and a nice and simple swing approach that he repeats well and gets his barrel into the zone on time.

Ty Kennedy (2025 SS, Orlando, FL) has a young middle infielder's build at 5-6/140 but has very quick hands that he fires hard at the ball.  It's a short and quick swing that's going to produce lots of hard line drive contact.

Slade Wayne (2026 C, Lake Worth, FL) is a 13 year old with a 5-6/120 13 year old's body but he has a chance to be a really nice hitter down the road when he gets stronger.  He has quick and fluid hitter's hands and gets the barrel where he wants it almost every swing.

Mario Tristani (2024 1B, Aibonito, PR) was one of the strongest players at the showcase and the 6-0/185 right handed hitter really showed his power potential well.  A bit more shift to his front side could unlock even more bat speed and lift.

Keegan Cusick (2025 3B, Altamonte Springs, FL) is another extra strong right handed hitter who can put a charge in the ball.  He worked the middle of the field to an impressive degree and showed lots of maturity as a hitter.

Zahir Barjam (2025 SS, Miami, FL) is a talented athlete who showed well on both sides of the ball. He was smooth defensively at shortstop with a good arm across and shows good handle of the barrel paired with impact strength on a well-struck line drive double. 

Storm Lickliter (2026 RHP, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL) is a well-built right-hander who showed good present stuff on the mound today. He worked 76-79 with a heavy fastball, commanded his changeup well and flashed a big breaking ball while generating weak contact across all three.

Noah Campbell (2025 OF, Winter Springs, FL) is a very long and projectable left-hander on the mound who worked up to 75 today. He produces some cut on the fastball from his short release and also got on the mound and drove a hard line drive single showing his handle of the barrel.

Logan Waldrup (2025 3B, Fort Myers, FL) is a solid defensive catcher who receives well while also showing he can impact the game on the offensive end where he roped a double showing the present impact strength that projects well in the long-term.

Francis Garcia (2026 SS, Toa Baja, PR) picked up a pair of hits in today's game as he drove one to the back side and then pulled the hands in on another lining it hard through the pull side. The athleticism and feel for the barrel posits good results moving forward. 

Tyler Ellis (2026 1B, Kingsland, GA) is a talented two-way prospect who hopped on the mound and worked into the upper-70s from an extended release while landing a big breaking ball comfortably for strikes. He also shows some pop at the dish with good leverage from the left side. 

Dallas Rasmussen (2025 SS, Casselberry, FL) had an eventful day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a line drive double over the left fielder's head in his first at bat and a hard ground ball past the shortstop later in the game.  He is an athletic player with good barrel control at the plate.

AJ Noble (2025 RHP, Sanford, FL) was crisp and efficient on the bump, topping out at 77 mph and dotting the fastball to either side with intent. He's got excellent feel to manipulate the breaking ball and throw it for strikes while he can swing it too. 

Michael Sanchez Jr (2025 RHP, Palm City, FL) struck out ten batters over four innings and it had a lot to do with the fastball quality and command. The pitch was 72-75 mph with cutting life and he was terrific at moving it just off right-handed barrels. 

Mario Tristani (2024 1B, Aibonito, PR) got hit by a pitch prior in the at-bat only to regroup and lace a double into the opposite field gap. Tristani has good strength in his wrists that plays to all fields. 

Keegan Cusick (2025 3B, Altamonte Springs, FL) showed good feel for the barrel with two hits including an RBI. Cusick has a simple swing with quick hands and works the ball with an all fields approach. 

Jalen Foxx (2025 OF, Sanford, FL) has a loose swing from the right side but really impressed with his one inning relief appearance. He's athletic with arm speed and angle as he worked up to 81 mph with good characteristics to the breaking ball.
