Evan Jensen RHP / OF / Legacy, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 25 / POS: 3 Jensen showed one of the more intriguing blends of strength and athleticism at the event, standing a projectable 6’4”, 214 lbs with noticeably added physicality since our last look. The added strength translated across the board, highlighted by a fastball that now reaches 91 mph to go with a changeup, curveball, and slider mix. Jensen’s improved mobility was equally impressive, running a 7.02 in the 60 despite his big frame, while posting a 101.1 mph top exit velocity at the plate. With his jump in stuff, physical development, and rising athleticism, Jensen is a 2028 prospect who has firmly put himself on the radar and is worth a close follow moving forward.

Jack Sansone RHP / OF / Roosevelt, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 17 / POS: 9 Sansone comes with plenty of natural strength and arm talent on the mound as we have seen the junior post a fastball up to 90 mph already. The frame on Sansone stands in at 6'1'' & 184 Ibs with some levers that suggest he should be able to continue to build velocity in the future. Sansone pairs his fastball with a slider he works well for strikes along with a developing changeup and sinker. The uncommitted right-hander has a chance to really make some noise this spring for his 4A Roosevelt program.

Dane Dial 3B / RHP / Pine Creek, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 22 / POS: 4 Dial delivered a standout two-way performance, showing off real arm talent on the mound with a fastball that climbed to 88 mph while complemented by a curveball and a workable changeup. At the plate, Dial’s strength was evident, producing a 102 mph top exit velocity and a max batted ball distance of 370 ft. He also showcased an 87 mph infield velocity, underscoring the raw arm strength that is actively developing with him right now. Dial’s blend of power and arm ability makes him a compelling follow moving forward.

Nolan Taylor 3B / RHP / Northfield, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 33 / POS: 5 Taylor showed an exciting mix of present tools and future upside, standing 6'2", 178 lbs with plenty of room to add strength to an already projectable frame. He flashed real raw power at the plate, reaching a 98.2 mph max exit velocity with a 360 ft. peak batted ball distance that points to emerging impact potential. Defensively, his 87 mph infield velocity highlights a clean, developing arm that should continue to tick up as he matures. On the mound, Taylor also worked his fastball up to 87.3 mph, giving him another avenue to impact a roster. With his size, time to develop, and a toolset that’s trending in the right direction, Taylor is a name well worth tracking closely heading into the spring of 2026.

Holden Goodrich C / OF / Arvada West, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 5 / POS: 1 Goodrich continues to emerge as one of the more physically advanced and projectable players in the class, showing a strong foundation of tools that should only climb as he matures. His strength is already a separator producing a 103.2 mph top exit velocity (led event), a 92 mph average exit velocity, and a 384 ft. max batted ball distance that hints at true power potential down the road. Behind the plate, he posted a 1.92 pop time while his arm strength certainly is present, thanks to an 80 mph throwing velocity from the crouch. On the mound, Goodrich’s fastball reached 87 mph with a quality spin rate of 2588 rpm, and his breaking pitches also showed advanced metrics, highlighted by a slider up to 2807rpm and a curveball up to 2687rpm. With his physicality, active arm strength, and the type of raw tools that project well at the next level, Goodrich is a name who should continue trending upward as a top ranked 2028 prospect.

Kai Wagner OF / RHP / Rocky Mountain, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 7 / POS: 3 Wagner is a young, projectable arm with plenty of room to grow, standing 6’1’’ and 160 lbs with a lean frame that suggests more strength and velocity are likely to come. He showed promising arm talent on the mound, touching 86 mph on his fastball with roughly 2300 rpm of spin, and complemented it with a curveball and changeup that give him a developing three-pitch mix. Defensively, Wagner’s 87 mph outfield velocity and a 6.92 60-yard dash highlight the underlying tools he already possesses, while at the plate he flashed strength with a 97 mph top exit velocity. With a combination of projection, raw arm ability, and emerging strength, Wagner is a 2028 prospect worth tracking closely as he continues to physically develop.

Tyson Mann LHP / Broomfield, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 67 / POS: 2 Mann is a physically advanced left-hander who brings a full mix of pitches and projectable tools to the mound. At 6’2’’, 185 lbs, he works an 85 mph fastball and pairs it with a curveball, slider, changeup, and sinker, giving him multiple ways to challenge hitters. His tall frame and sturdy build suggest added velocity and strength could be on the way as he matures. Expected to be a key arm for the 5A Broomfield Eagles this spring, Mann projects to handle a heavy workload while continuing to refine a repertoire that already shows above-average upside.

Luke Blasco LHP / Valor Christian, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 75 / POS: 3 Blasco is a 6’1’’, 204 Ibs left-hander whose game is actively trending upward. His fastball reaches 85 mph, and he’s steadily refining both his curveball and changeup, showing consistent effort to expand and polish his repertoire. With his size and strength increasing, Blasco’s continued development makes him a 2027 prospect to monitor closely as he heads into the spring, with the potential to add both velocity and command in the months ahead.

Colby Davis SS / RHP / Legend, CO / 2029 Rankings  StateRank: 9 / POS: 4 Davis is a freshman with significant upside, already showing why he earned a spot as a Junior Future Games alum this summer.

At the plate, he flashes emerging pop with an 88.2 mph top exit velocity, and on the mound, his fastball touches 83 mph, hinting at a versatile two-way ceiling.

Grayson Sauer 3B / RHP / Eaton, CO / 2029 Rankings  StateRank: 6 / POS: 1 Sauer enters the scene as a freshman with a frame to dream on, standing 6’3’’ and 178 lbs with clear projection for added strength and velocity.

In the field, he showcased an 82 mph outfield velocity, while at the plate he flashed an emerging bat with an 87 mph top exit velocity. Ranieri's frame and exceptional athleticism for his age makes him a close follow moving forward.

Dawson Mcinnes OF / 1B / Durango, CO / 2026 Mcinnes is a 6’2”, 176 Ibs uncommitted senior who continues to trend upward, offering a blend of present production and developing tools that make him an appealing follow. He’s shown real offensive promise with a 98 mph top exit velocity (93 mph avg.) and the footspeed to match, running a 6.86 in the 60. That skillset carried directly into his junior season, where he hit .427 with 24 stolen bases and a 1.102 OPS over 88 plate appearances at the 4A level, proving he can impact the game in multiple ways. With his projection, athletic movement, and track record of performance, Mcinnes stands out as a quality uncommitted 2026 prospect worth attention this spring.

Eric Houser SS / OF / Vista Peak Prep, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 54 / POS: 13 Houser immediately stood out in this event as one of the top young prospects in Colorado. The athletic, strong, and versatile hitter posted a 95 mph top exit velocity with a 6.88 60-yard dash time, a 92 mph outfield throwing velocity, and an 88 mph velocity across the infield. Houser has some outlier twitch for his age, and a clean swing along with some active athleticism that should only trend in the right direction with time. The Vista Peak sophomore is certainly a name to circle.

Caden Koon OF / RHP / Arvada West, CO / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 24 / POS: 7 Koon, a 2025 Super Sophomore Games alum, continues to show why he’s been on the radar, offering a well-rounded profile from the outfield.
