Jacob Pierro | Dubuque Wahlert | RHP |
|
Jacob Pierro, a 5-foot-10 right-hander from Dubuque Wahlert, brings one of the most electric arms in his class. His fast-paced delivery and explosive arm speed produce a fastball up to 90 mph with 2400+ rpm, complemented by sharp breaking balls in the low 70s and a tunneling changeup. Pierro’s game is as dynamic as it is electric.

|
Brooks Bond (5-10, 155) is a left-handed hitting SS/RHP who barrels everything with surprising pop: 99.8 EV, 366 ft. max. Athletic at short with a 91 mph arm and 6.89 speed, he plays with rhythm and consistency. Competitive in the box, impacts the game on the bases, and projects to stick at a premium spot. |

| 3 | Henry Heller | MOC-Floyd Valley | LHP |
|
Heller is a lefty with an above-average arm and a controlled tempo, though he sometimes leaks early off the rubber. A workhorse on the mound with an intimidating presence, he consistently pounds the zone. His fastball sits 87-88 mph (89.5 max at the Super Sophomore Games in Kansas City), complemented by a 78-81 mph slider with solid spin (2100 rpm). He consistently pounds the zone with a clean three-pitch mix and shows strong strike-throwing potential.

|
Abram Decena, a 5-foot-10 left-handed hitter from Centerville, shows a balanced, quiet swing that produces loud contact with a 99.6 mph exit velocity and 323 feet of carry. Defensively, he’s serviceable behind the plate but shines in the outfield with 84 mph throws and direct routes. Decena’s blend of athleticism, versatility, and offensive upside suggests he’s just getting started.

Offensively, he shows bat speed and strength with a 95.1 mph max exit velocity and 343-foot fly ball potential. Defensively, he’s an athletic catcher with quick exchanges, 1.99–2.02 pop times, and an 81 mph arm. With a 7.23 60-yard dash added in, Miller is a rising name in Iowa’s 2026 class. |
