Tye Briscoe, LHP, Abilene, Texas
New Rank: 138 | Prior Rank: 397
Briscoe gets a substantial bump in the updated rankings after showing some real two-way potential in Jupiter. The stuff on the mound is high end, running the fastball up to 93 mph with a low effort release. He rounds out the mix with a hard slider and a fading changeup. The bat was also good in Jupiter as he hit .375 with a heavy barrel and good strength. -CM
Thomas Case, RHP, Watervliet, NY
New Rank: 144 | Prior Rank: 229
Showing a continual upward trend, not only in pitchability but also raw stuff, Case has the look of one of the best RHP in the nation. At 6-2/170 he is lean with a smooth delivery and whippy arm action that helps him create upper-80s to low-90s velocity and we have seen him up to 93 mph. There is life in the zone, he pitches on the plate with confidence and backs up his heater with a hard, late slider that reaches the low-80s. He built prolific strikeout numbers this year as he averaged almost 2 punchouts per inning and had an almost 3-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio. -CC
Clayton Armah, RHP, Great Falls, Va.
New Rank: 151 | Prior Rank: 500
Armah gets a big jump in the recent update after showing big arm talent throughout the fall. He ran it up to 93 mph in Jupiter with a shorter shaped curveball in the mid-70s. There’s serious physicality to this profile and the ball really jumps out of the hand. There’s also some two way intrigue here as he performed well at the plate throughout the summer. -CM
Noah Allen, RHP, Watkinsville, Ga.
New Rank: 161 | Prior Rank: 500
Allen makes a huge jump in the recent update after a great showing at WWBA Underclass. He’s a long and lean 6-foot-6, 185-pounds and already showing some big stuff on the mound. The Georgia commit got up to 92 mph with a full mix that he sequences well. The mix of present stuff and projection make this a name to get to know in Georgia. -CM
Julius Rosado, 3B/IF, South River, NJ
New Rank: 165 | Prior Rank: 500
Rosado has really started to make a name for himself this Summer, hitting over .400 in his past three PG events, the latest being at Jupiter for Boston Red Sox Scout Team. The athletic 6-foot, 190 pound prospect has racked up seven HR’s in 2023 and provides an evident power threat in the middle of the order with tons of strength in the hands. -AD
Nathan Wines, RHP, Millersville, MD
New Rank: 168 | Prior Rank: 500
Wines has steadily gained national interest over the Summer, now up to 94 mph with electric arm speed and balanced mechanics. The 6-foot-3, 190 pound righty has big time swing and miss stuff in the arsenal and sequences effectively with high pitchability. Good chance the ceiling here isn’t filled out as Wines could make another jump into some elite company in the near future. -AD
Nicholas Frusco, LHP, Miller Place, NY
New Rank: 186 | Prior Rank: 246
Frusco has been near unhittable in 2023, posting a 0.27 ERA through 25.2 IP with 56 strikeouts. A well deserved bump in the rankings for the 6-foot-4, 190 pound lefty who excels at controlling the pace of games and attacking hitters in all four quadrants. In his 5.2 inning start at Underclass, Frusco racked up 13 strikeouts holding upper 80’s velocity well, ultimately topping out at 90 mph. -AD
Erick Peralta, RHP, Brooklyn, NY
New Rank: 192 | Prior Rank: 500
Peralta doesn’t have a ton of PG appearances, but it’s safe to say he’s been effective during the games that he’s played. The Miami commit has been up to 94 mph back in September with clear heaviness to the FB from a low effort release and ¾ slot. There’s a great foundation here to refine and build on in what could become a top arm in the class in the future. -AD
Elijah Buffaloe, SS, Orlando, Fla.
New Rank: 197 | Prior Rank: 500
Makes a massive jump after showing a lot to like at the plate throughout the fall. The UCF commit controls the barrel well with great bat-to-ball skills. He has great barrel speed and can run well while also playing great defense up the middle. The ability to switch hit with the defensive acumen makes this a really intriguing profile. -CM
Brendan Horne, SS/2B, Hooksett, NH
New Rank: 241 | Prior Rank: 550
Horne is another name with limited PG stats but when you hit .833 with a pair of doubles at Underclass it’s hard not to get recognized. The still projectable 5-foot-10, 165 pound Vandy commit swings with intent and generates effortless bat speed through the zone with impact to all fields. He repeats the stroke well and has an evident speed tool to his game when on the bases, swiping at least two bags in three of his last five events. Horne has natural strength present in the build with signs pointing to additional power production in the future. -AD
Dax Kilby, SS, Newnan, Ga.
New Rank: 250 | Prior Rank: NR
Kilby is one of the higher risers in the recent update going from completely unranked inside the top-250 nationally. He put together great showings at WWBA Underclass and Jupiter, hitting right in the middle of one of the best lineups in each event. It’s an impact left-handed bat with good bat speed and physical projection at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds and is already showing pull-side juice. -CM
Dylan England, SS, Boone, Iowa
New Rank: 256 | Prior Rank: 500
England flies up the rankings after putting together great performances throughout the fall in front of a bunch of eyes. He routinely finds the barrel and shows great strength gep-to-gap with the ability to hit the ball out to the pull-side. He has a short and direct path while also playing good defense at shortstop with solid arm strength that will allow him to stay on the left side. -CM
Dylan Passo, 1B, Red Bank, NJ
New Rank: 272 | Prior Rank: 500
Passo has really broken out offensively this Fall, posting a 1.119 OPS in his opportunities at the dish flashing a sweet stroke from the left side. The 6-foot-1, 195 pound prospect has certainly added strength recently, an aspect of his game that was always there but is now significantly prominent and developed. Passo currently sits as the #1 ranked 1B and #5 overall player in NJ for the ‘25 class. -AD
Nicky Becker, SS/2B, Thiells, NY
New Rank: 295 | Prior Rank: 500
The Virginia commit is quickly gunning for his brother Eric’s ranking which sat at #186 in the Class of 2023 and there’s nothing to suggest Nicky is slowing down anytime soon. While there are similarities to the brother’s games, Nicky has made a name for himself by creating loud impact to the pull side of the field with a leveraged stroke and clear hip torque present. He’s loose and relaxed in the box with barrel whip that generates carry and backspin on the baseball. He’s posted a .344 BA in 2023. -AD
Hogan Nelson, OF, Fort Worth, Texas
New Rank: 296 | Prior Rank: 474
Nelson makes a big jump into the top-300 after a phenomenal showing at the Fall Top Prospect National showcase. The DBU commit showed great traits across the board with a real impact bat. The bat speed really stands out to go along with good arm strength from multiple spots and also runs well. -CM
