Unsigned Upperclass Spotlight: C/3B Tayven Carreira
May 19, 2025
The high school season is coming to a close as players now shift their focus to the summer circuit. The 2025 preseason showcase schedule featured the first-ever Hawaii Preseason Invitational—an eight-team tournament to kick off the year that saw all positional players run through a pro-style workout alongside our tech partners, while we also collected updated TrackMan pitching data on all arms during gameplay.
Our staff had eyes on over 100 players, and with the summer just around the corner, there is still a ton of quality uncommitted talent available in Hawaii’s upperclassman group. Over the next couple of weeks, our staff will begin highlighting some of these names who need to be on the radar of college coaches as the summer gets underway.
We continue our Top Uncommitted Upperclass Spotlight Series with '26 C/3B Tayven Carreira of Kailua High School. Carreira has stood out at multiple PBR events, including the Future Games, where he posted an impressive 1.90 pop time and a 78 mph catcher velocity. Currently ranked as the No. 1 catcher in Hawaii for the Class of 2026, Carreira is definitely a name to watch as he heads into his senior year.
