Unsigned Upperclass Spotlight: Jerrell Alston
May 28, 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 OF/RHP Jerrell Alston of the Waiakea High School program. Alston features a smooth right handed swing at the dish, and consitently squares up the baseball. Clocked in a 7.02 60-time, and showed some quick twitch actions. Standing in at 6'3" 170lbs, it is only a matter of time before he fills out his frame and you see his numbers make a large jump. This article will take a deeper dive into Alston's TrackMan metrics, as well as VALD performance data and scouting notes/video.
