Brayden Kotwica LHP / Mountain Vista, CO / 2027

Kotwica is a left-handed pitcher with a projectable frame at 6-foot / 185 Ibs that produced an intriguing arsenal during this year's Fall ID event. He’s whippy with long levers, generating a fastball up to 85 mph that plays up due to his arm speed and delivery. His breaking ball shows sharp depth and consistent feel, while his changeup is advanced for his size and adds a true secondary option for keeping hitters off balance, especially to right-handers. Kotwica repeats a smooth delivery with solid tempo and is yet another prospect worth keeping a close eye on over the next year. 

 

 

Pryce Richie 3B / 1B / Columbine, CO / 2027

 

 

Luke Blasco LHP / Valor Christian, CO / 2027

 

 

Keir Traurig RHP / 1B / Chatfield, CO / 2027

Traurig is a junior right-hander and two-way prospect with a strong, athletic 6-foot-1, 198-pound frame and a well-rounded tool set. On the mound, he was up to 88 mph with his fastball during this year's Fall ID event, showing feel for spin with both his fastball and breaking ball registering above 2,400 rpm. At the plate, Traurig posted a 93 mph top exit velocity, flashing strength through contact. With his combination of size, arm strength, and developing two-way ability, Traurig is a 2027 prospect who continues to show intriguing upside and projection.

 

 

Cooper Julien OF / RHP / Ralston Valley, CO / 2027

Julien is an actively developing two-way prospect who showcased quite well at this year's Fall ID. The uncommitted junior posted a 6.78 60-yard dash time, a 91 mph top exit velocity, an 85 mph outfield throwing velocity, and ran the fastball up to 83.3 mph on the mound. At 6'1'' / 184 Ibs, Julien has the upside and toolset to make plenty of noise over the next year. 

 

 

Enzo Biala LHP / OF / Ralston Valley, CO / 2027

Biala was a top performer at this summer's Colorado State Games and has parlayed that into a strong showing at the Colorado Fall ID. On the mound this time around, Biala had the fastball up to 85 mph from the left-side to go with a quality curveball, slider, and changeup combination. Biala's fastball velocity jump is something to note as the lefty displayed polish and pitchability during the State Games this summer as well. At 6-foot / 205 Ibs there could be even more velocity on the way, making Biala another uncommitted junior worth a follow.
