VENTURA, CALIF. - The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues after a jam packed summer of Prep Baseball California events, summer travel baseball, and other opportunities to evaluate players we will be recognizing some of the top remaining uncommitted players around the state. We will be looking at players from the 2026 class and 2027 classes across the upcoming weeks/months. 

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts both through our in person looks at players and/or the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, and VALD Performance provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on an impressive 2027 player who is featured inside the Top 75 of our 2027 California rankings. We are looking at SoCal '27 C Dezi Delgado from Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, Calif.. Delgado was a standout performer at the Future Games Tryout: Los Angeles which has backed up two loud years of live looks for myself and our scouting staff as a whole. Delgado has started for two-years on the varsity level at Sierra Canyon playing in the rigorous Mission League and in 2025 the standout LH hitter was an all-league performer (the only underclassmen to make the first team squad).

Delgado may be compact in size, but his offensive profile is big on present ability to be an impactful piece of a lineup in high school and beyond. The LH hitter starts from a balanced set up with a lower hand set that features hand waggle and looseness. Delgado loads up on his back side early before taking a smooth forward move to reach launch. The hips rotate with quickness while staying taller in his posture and allow his compact hand path/uphill barrel with leverage to generate hard contact consistently. Dezi can generate uber intriguing levels of torque with a peak rotational acceleration of 29.2 Gs while showing present fast hands up to 23 MPH peak hand speed and shows explosive present bat speed at 80.7 MPH in the swing. His explosive operation allows for Delgado to produces exit velocities in the upper 90's at a high rate while peaking at 98 MPH with loft and carry to his pull side including a max distance during batting practice of 349'. His bat path and feel for the barrel with awareness of his timing/approach produced a 81% fly ball/line drive rate during batting practice.

Delgao is compact in build at 5'6 158.1 lbs frame but has intriuging strength in his body that can continue to add strength/mass as he matures. Delgado is a solid athlete behind the dish who shows solid present speed with a 7.28 60 yard dash time while reaching 19.4 MPH at his peak run speed. The mobility in his frame, strength in his lower 1/2, athleticism and advanced baseball tools make for a strong to impact potential backstop in Delgado who flashes impressive arm strength including a 81 MPH catcher velo with pop times as low as 1.95 in workouts (I've had him at 1.89 during live looks between innings).

With an electric sophomore year backing up his two years of varsity experience the profile for Delgado has a strong foundation. But, with future development to his frame to add more strength, continued reps against high level competition in the Mission League/travel baseball circuit the LH hitting backstop should be a name college coaches are following closely in their 2027 recruiting efforts.
