2027 C Fraynder Albornoz, Windermere, Uncommitted
Uncommitted 2027 catcher Fraynder Albornoz continues to show physical presence in the batter's box. Standing at 6-foot-0, 200-pounds, Albornoz possesses strength in the lower half that translates to power potential. On Friday, the right-handed hitter showcased his ability to impact the baseball, jumping on a pitch and driving it deep to the wall for a stand-up RBI double. He utilizes a leg-kick trigger and an aggressive path to the ball, looking to do damage in the gaps. As a physical backstop with offensive upside, he remains a follow in the junior class.

2027 RHP Rylan Autman, Inspiration Academy, Uncommitted
Uncommitted junior Rylan Autman presents a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. He used that length effectively in a four-inning shutout against Out-of-Door Academy, keeping the hit column clean while striking out six. Autman works with a high leg kick and creates a steep downhill plane from a high-3/4 slot. His fastball sat 87-89 mph, touching 90 mph, with spin rates (2410 RPM) that allow the pitch to carry through the zone. The fastball generated a 41% whiff rate on the night. He showed feel for a curveball at 68-71 mph (2112 RPM) with 11/5 shape and a changeup (75-78 mph), with the riding fastball serving as his primary weapon.

2026 1B/LHP Tyler Kenast, Winter Springs, Texas Tech recruit
Texas Tech recruit Tyler Kenast continues to show his potential as a left-handed bat in the senior class. Standing 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, Kenast has a leverage-based frame that generates bat speed. He wasted no time against Lake Brantley, jumping on an early pitch and driving a clean line-drive double into the left-center field gap to plate a run. The swing is fluid and loose, with the ability to cover the plate and drive the ball to all fields. With present gap-to-gap power and room to fill out, the offensive upside is clear. Kenast finished the game with three hits and four runs scored.
