First, we'll look at the state's top five uncommitted arms in the class. 

Cooper Vais RHP / SS / Arvada West, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 286 / POS: 78 Vais is a legitimate two-way prospect at the next level, with great numbers both at the plate and on the mound, but for now we'll focus on his pitching prowess.

Michael (Mikey) Kroll RHP / 1B / Regis Jesuit, CO / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 3 / POS: 2 OverallRank: 470 / POS: 129 Kroll is a flamethrower, utilizing a great frame to run his fastball up to 92 mph.
