Leland 'LA' Ingraham III OF / RHP / South High, CA / 2027

From 10/12/25: "Ingraham's day started with a strong round of batting practice, consistently driving the ball to the right-center gap with intent. He maxed at 89.3 mph exit velocity, but his round stood out more for the consistent, well-struck contact and his ability to stay on plane through the zone. Working from a slightly closed setup, Ingraham maintains good direction toward the middle of the field, and his swing is designed to elevate the baseball with natural lift. That approach carried over into gameplay, where he lined a base hit to left for an RBI single. Defensively, he showed an 83 mph arm from the outfield, and his 5-9, 170-pound frame already carries noticeable strength and physicality. An intriguing well rounded profile to keep tabs on in the '27 class."

Jagr Scott SS / C / San Marcos High, CA / 2028

From 10/19/25: "Scott put together an impressive BP session, posting a 98.2 mph max exit velocity while averaging 91.1 mph, showing consistent loud contact with an 83% hard-hit rate. The swing is compact and efficient, staying level through the zone and producing line drives to all fields. Scott’s peak bat speed at continues to tick upwards at 74.7 mph and his arm action across the infield is accurate and continuing to become more and more fluid through the motion. He continues to make noticeable strides in his overall game, and with his steady development and remaining physical projection, Scott looks like an unfinished product with trending upside."
