QUICK HITS:

Nathan Alcouffe RHP / Erie, CO / 2025 Alcouffe is an uncommitted arm that showcased quite well at Sunday's event. The Erie right-hander comes in at 6'1'' and 188 Ibs with a fastball that maxed out at 86.2 mph. Alcouffe throws out of a deceptive lower 3/4 arm slot where he was able to generate around 9-10 inches of arm side run on his fastball (~2150 rpm). Alcouffe also mixed in a quality slider (~2000 rpm) and changeup (~1750 rpm) he could land for strikes. Certainly a name to watch in spring 2025.

Evan Jensen RHP / OF / Legacy, CO / 2028 Jensen was all over the leaderboards in this event, even as a freshman. The two-way Legacy athlete comes in at 6'2'' and 185 Ibs with some active strength. Jensen registered a fastball up to 84.1 mph, posted a 98 mph max exit velocity, and an 84 mph outfield throwing velocity. The long levers on Jensen give him plenty of projectability while he already possesses advanced control of his body.

Kaden Hopkin C / RHP / Holy Family, CO / 2028 Another impressive freshman from this event was Holy Family's Kaden Hopkin. The catcher has some advanced feel behind the plate with an actively developing swing that got up to over an 89 mph exit velocity. Hopkin is 6'1'' and 167 Ibs with a wiry/athletic build and some twitchy strength. Hopkin's clean actions behind the plate led to a 75 mph throwing velocity with a 1.84-1.90 pop time range.

Blaine Phillips C / Sheridan High School, WY / 2026 Phillips was another uncommitted player who scattered the leaderboards in this event thanks to his 95 mph top exit velocity, 80 mph catcher throwing velocity, and a 4.07 30-yard dash time. The Wyoming junior has some easy strength with athleticism out of his 6'0'' / 188 Ibs frame.

Jonathan Gambino OF / RHP / Summit, CO / 2026 Gambino ran the fastest 30-yard dash time of this event at 3.93 seconds. The uncommitted Summit junior provides athleticism along with an 89.4 mph top exit velocity and an 85 mph outfield throwing velocity. We also saw some two-way upside with Gambino thanks to his fastball over 82 mph and a quality curveball (~2150 rpm). Gambino is a high-waisted 5'11'' athlete with plenty of projection in the near future.

Brady Mylander RHP / OF / Roosevelt, CO / 2026 Mylander showcased well on the mound in this event as an uncommitted right-hander. The Roosevelt junior comes with a fastball up to 83 mph (~2100 rpm), a curveball, a slider (~2350 rpm), and a changeup (~1450 rpm). Mylander was able to land the full arsenal in the zone with an easy arm action and plenty of natural movement. The wiry/athletic 5'11'' frame on Mylander bodes well for his potential development over the next few years, and at the next level.

Logan Storrs OF / LHP / Mullen, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 49 / POS: 12 Storrs is an uncommitted left-handed hitting prospect who got up to a 93 mph top exit velocity in this event. Storrs creates plenty of leverage and whip from his lower half with some quick hands. The Mullen outfielder also posted a 77.2 mph top bat speed and chucked 82 mph from the outfield.

Jake Richards SS / RHP / Arvada West, CO / 2029 The lone 2029 prospect from Sunday's event ended up leading the infield throwing velocity leaderboard at 85 mph. Richards comes in at 5'9'' and 146 Ibs but has some quality tools as a youngster. Richards is already twitchy/athletic with a controlled swing at the plate and plenty of feel in the infield. We also saw Richards post a fastball up to 81 mph with a curveball, slider, and changeup mix. What really stood out from Richards on the mound was his advanced pitchability and feel for spin. Richards was able to spin his fastball ~2250 rpm, slider ~2700 rpm, curveball ~2500 rpm, and a changeup around 74 mph with ~12 inches of horizontal movement.
