Quick Hits 

Noah Larson, OF, 2026, North Paulding
Uncommitted. With each look Larson has performed at a high-level this Fall and more of the same continued at the UNG Fall Tour. Tons of athleticism throughout the athletic 5-foot-10, 164-pound frame and kicked off the day with a 6.6 60. The barrel was potent in BP as he produced a Max EV of 99.2 in a heavy pull-side approach. Does an excellent job of keeping his hands back with present bat speed and leverage through the zone. Larson looks to have a big role for a Wolfpack squad that is chomping at the bit for a 6A state title in ‘26 after a deep playoff run in ‘25.

Asher Stephens, SS, 2027, Gainesville
Uncommitted. Stephens has steadily produced over the years in each look and carried it over into Sunday morning as he was a big winner at the UNG Fall Campus Tour. Has added noticeable strength and size since we last saw him back in February and stands a physical, athletic 6-foot, 193-pounds. Consistently found the barrel in a polished round of BP as he sprayed the ball gap-to-gap (Max EV 98.6). Good balance and rhythm throughout the spring with hand/bat speed present and excellent feel for the barrel. Put together a strong defensive showing in the OF with good routes to the ball, soft hands, and present arm strength. Posted an 87 OF velo which tied for the event best. Ran a 6.95 60 as well. Stephens is primed for a breakout junior campaign with the Red Elephants with plenty more to project upon towards a significant ceiling. 

Tyler Rogers, MIF, 2027, Hebron Christian Academy
Uncommitted. The Hebron Christian middle infielder turned out a really good showing in all facets. Opened the day by clocking at a 6.75 60 which was 2nd best in the event. At the plate, Rogers showed fast hands through the zone in a compact path with good ability to keep the barrel on-plane as he sprayed the ball to all parts of the field with authority (Max EV: 97.2). The actions in the dirt stood out as well with lateral quickness, soft hands, and accurate throws. Athletic and broad-shouldered at 5-foot-11, 168-pounds there is plenty more to project upon and Rogers looks poised to be a big piece for the Lions across the next two years. 

Charlie Hunt, OF, 2026, Notre Dame (TN)
Uncommitted. It was an impressive all-around showing for the Notre Dame OF Sunday morning. Physical and athletic at 6-foot-3, 194-pounds, Hunt is armed with big-time strength throughout the frame. Posted one of the event best Max EV (101.2) and Max Distance (356ft). Innate barrel feel stands out backed by excellent length in-zone with present bat speed. Physical LH cut and delivers a well-leveraged barrel through the zone with the ability to hit the ball to all-fields with authority. As well as running a 7.2 60 and tying an event best OF velo at 87 MPH. It’s a high floor profile for Hunt as he can help provide success in a multitude of ways at the next level.  

Witt Brannen, 1B/RHP, 2026, Statesboro
Uncommitted. The barrel was extremely potent for Brannen as sprayed the ball from line to line and posted an event best EV of 102.7. Ultra-physical at 6-foot-3, 216-pounds with tons of strength throughout the frame. The RHH shows explosive hands in-zone with immense impact in the barrel and generates a ton of strength from the ground-up. Displayed an intriguing look on the mound as he moved really well down the mound with repeatability in the delivery from an over-the-top slot (6”9 release height). Fastball lived 83-85 and mixed in two different breaking balls in the low to mid 70s that paired well off the fastball. 

Dylan Catherwood, 3B/RHP, 2028, Kings Ridge Christian
Catherwood put together an impressive all-around showing throughout the day. The 6-foot-3 athlete moves well with a balanced, projectable frame, using his long levers efficiently while staying connected through the zone. He showcased advanced bat-to-ball skills, driving balls gap-to-gap with a flat, controlled swing path. On the mound, Catherwood showed dynamic movement and feel for a four-pitch mix. He featured two distinct fastballs working in the low 80s; a four-seamer with strong ride traits and a two-seamer at similar velocity that produced more sink. His primary secondary offering, a sweeping slider, stayed down in the zone consistently, while his mid 70s changeup effectively tunneled off both fastballs with low spin and solid deception. Overall, it’s a well-rounded, athletic profile that makes Dylan Catherwood a highly intriguing follow in the coming summers as he looks to make a breakout during his sophomore season.

RJ Westbrook, UT/LHP, 2029, Mount Paran
Mount Paran has something special in their hands with freshman RJ Westbrook. On the mound, the 6-foot-3 right-hander works from a three-quarter arm slot and hides the ball well, making him tough to pick up. He showed two fastballs both around 80 MPH; a two-seamer with late life that he can spot on both sides of the plate and a four-seamer with cut-ride action that plays best at the top of the zone. His main secondary pitch is a sweeping slider with good movement and feel for the zone. At the plate, Westbrook showed calm, explosive hands that worked effortlessly through the zone, producing consistent hard contact to all fields. The freshman’s long, connected swing and quiet, open setup helped generate a max EV of 92 mph with a smooth leg kick and clean one-hand finish. Defensively, he displayed smooth, reliable actions in both the outfield and at first base, showing arm strength up to 87 mph from the outfield and 82 mph across the diamond. His soft hands and fluid transfers allow him to handle plays comfortably from both the forehand and backhand sides.

Travis Wallace, 1B, 2027, Denmark
Uncommitted. Travis Wallace continues to impress each time he takes the field. At the plate, it’s a 6-foot-2 build that works from a balanced, level stance with quiet hands and impressive bat speed. He produces legit pull-side power and posted multiple 100+ mph exit velocities throughout the showcase. His uphill swing path is built to do damage to all fields, and he maintains strong connection between his lower and upper halves throughout the swing. Defensively, Wallace primarily worked at first base, showing a fluid arm path, athletic footwork, and solid arm speed that adds to his defensive value. After a strong summer and fall with Wow Factor, anticipate Travis to be a key run producer in the heart of Denmark’s lineup this coming spring.

Peyton Wilson, 1B/LHP, 2028, Heritage
Wilson shows a confident and athletic presence in the box with a relaxed setup and quiet pre-pitch rhythm. The swing is compact and connected, working direct to the baseball with a level path geared toward line-drive contact. He consistently stays inside the ball, allowing him to use the middle of the field and shoot hard contact gap-to-gap. He posted a 77mph INF velo and recorded a max EV of 101.3! Wilson does a good job controlling his body through his load, keeping his head still and maintaining balance throughout the swing. When he gets into his lower half and rotates fully, he shows flashes of projectable extra-base power, especially to pull-side.



Grant Wagner, C/1B, 2026, Richmond Hill
Uncommitted. Grant Wagner turned in an impressive all-around showcase, standing out in every faucet of his game. The 6-foot-4 backstop brings a strong, physical presence with violent hand speed and excellent feel for the barrel, posting an event-best 102 mph exit velocity. His long levers and connected swing allow him to consistently drive the ball gap-to-gap with authority. Behind the plate, Wagner worked from a slightly open stance, showing soft hands, clean receiving actions, and the ability to block well on both sides. He recorded sub-2.00 pop times with throws up to 78 mph and also showed versatility at first base, moving athletically with smooth arm action and good feel for the position. Poised for a strong senior campaign at Richmond Hill, Wagner is a well-rounded player who projects to be a beneficial addition to any collegiate program.
