Xavier Perez C / 3B / Center Point Urbana, IA / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 6 / POS: 2 OverallRank: 360 / POS: 38 A disciplined hitter with a direct swing that doesn’t try to force power on every pitch. He hunts specific spots early in counts, shows patience deep into at-bats, and grinds effectively with two strikes. At last check, he had nearly as many walks as hits and very few strikeouts. Plays hard and with a competitive edge both at the plate and behind it. Defensively, his receiving, blocking, and throwing are all above average, and he commands the game well from behind the plate.

Charlie Sarsfield OF / SS / Linn-Mar, IA / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 4 / POS: 3 OverallRank: 344 / POS: 77 An athletic, versatile defender with the range and arm strength to move between shortstop and the outfield. His quick, accurate throws play well across the diamond. At the plate, he features a repeatable swing and can drive the ball to all fields. Plays hard every pitch and is always looking to take the next base or make the next play. One of the more exciting and dynamic players to watch in Eastern Iowa.

Cal Jepsen SS / 2B / Sioux City East, IA / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 15 / POS: 4 A gamer through and through. His athleticism and arm strength allow him to play multiple positions with ease, making tough plays look routine and never rushing throws. At the plate, he has noticeable juice in the bat and does damage when he finds himself in favorable counts. Displays advanced plate discipline and can still be a threat when hitting behind in the count.

Jacob Pierro RHP / SS / Wahlert Catholic High School, IA / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 2 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 189 / POS: 38 Works quickly with a fastball that jumps out of his hand and off-speed offerings that he commands well. He can land the breaking ball early in counts or bury it late to keep hitters from sitting on the fastball. Against Liberty on June 16, he worked 83–87 mph, topping out at 88 mph, with a slider in the 69–72 range. The quick arm action suggests more velocity to come as he adds strength.

Collin McClintock OF / RHP / Cedar Rapids Prairie, IA / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 48 / POS: 7 An advanced approach at the plate allows him to utilize the whole field, no longer relying exclusively on the pull side. Hitting in the heart of a deep Prairie lineup, he leads the state with 35 RBI. Shows excellent plate discipline with 19 walks to just 6 strikeouts, making him a tough out every trip to the plate. In the outfield, he tracks the ball well, and his above-average arm delivers accurate throws to every base.
