Scouting Director

As we lead up to our end of year update, our staff hints at impending moves with the release of our position rankings for each position in the class as our board stands at the conclusion of the fall. We remain excited about this class, with some of the largest contigent of high-end depth that we've seen a class boast on both sides of the ball at this age.  We begin our lead up by highlighting the top ten corner infielders on our internal board for the sophomore class as we head into the winter, with a quick overview of each player, including key metrics.

Player Reports

Spencer Schiff C / RHP / 3B / Mater Dei, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Our top-ranked corner infielder, catcher, and also the #5 RHP on our board, Schiff is a true do-it-all type with polished actions in every facet. Listed as a primary catcher, there are multiple future profiles that Schiff fits into, but the in-game abilities here are some of the best in the class in terms of hit-ability. Hit .338 with 10 doubles and a triple for a Mater Dei club that reached the 2A State Finals in 2025. 

+ Key Metrics: 98.5 mph peak exit velocity, 6.94 60-yard dash, 84 mph infield arm, 82 mph arm from crouch, 1.97 top recorded pop, 86 mph fastball, 2380 CB spin rate.

Braylon Storey RHP / 3B / OF / Center Grove, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Regarded mostly for the low-90s fastball that he brings to the bump, the offensive upside is sky-high and lands him as the #2 CINF on our board presently. Is the best straight-line runner in the class with a recorded 6.49 60-yard dash, with the arm strength translating to the hot-corner to pair with at least average infield actions. Plenty of thunder in the barrel with power potential oozing in the highly-athletic, 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame. 

+ Key Metrics: 99.7 mph peak exit velocity, 6.49 60-yard dash, 84 mph infield arm, 91 mph fastball. 

Chase Millington 3B / Terre Haute North, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Projectable, 6-foot-3, 195-pounder with a strong combination of present skills and upside. Made a splash as an everyday starter for a Terre Haute North squad that was ranked inside of our Top 25 for much of 2025. Hit .296 for the Patriots while providing a quality defensive skillset for the Patriots at the hot-corner. 

 + Metrics: Have not been updated since summer of 2024 

Stathan Thompson 3B / Mooresville, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Super twitchy 3B from Mooresville that is expected to have a big impact for the Pioneers in 2026. 6-foot-1, 180-pounder that shows twitchy bat speed to pair with more than enough foot speed for the position. Could see his name rise up this board with a strong sophomore campaign.

+ Key Metrics: 94.9 mph peak exit velocity, 6.78 60-yard dash. 

Finnegan Steiner RHP / 3B / University High School of Indiana, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Regarded most for the upside he brings on the hill, Steiner doubles as the #5 corner infielder on our board with plenty to like on the offensive side. His 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame looks the part of a future run-producer with advanced strength in his right-handed barrel. 

+ Key Metrics: 96.3 mph peak exit velocity, 84 mph infield arm, 85 mph fastball. 

Slade Hodges 1B / Noblesville High School, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Well-rounded offensive profile with plenty of barrel feel from the left-side of the dish. Stood out throughout the circuit in 2025 & will likely make an impact for Noblesville as a sophomore. Plenty of strength present in the 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame with more on the way, likely. 

+ Key Metrics: 93.3 mph peak exit velocity, 7.25 60-yard dash. 

Jack Baumgardner LHP / 1B / Valparaiso, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Another primary arm that holds two-way upside, Baumgardner stands as one of the more projectable players on our board, young for the class & standing at 6-foot-4, 205-pounds. I think there will be real jumps on the mound soon, but offensively he already flashes power from the left-side that leaves serious intrigue on that side of the ball.

+ Key Metrics: 95.6 mph peak exit velocity, 80 mph fastball.

Grayson Gillespie 3B / Bedford-North Lawrence, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Standout on the circuit in 2025, along with leaving our 2025 Fall State Games as a big winner. High-waisted, projectable, 6-foot, 175-pounder with rotational strength that leads to power potential and one of the better arms of any player on this list. Saw some varsity action for BNL as a freshman, hitting .333 in 50 plate appearances. 

+ Key Metrics: 96.2 mph peak exit velocity, 86 mph infield arm. 

Cooper Harmon 1B / St Theodore Guerin High School, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Physical-framed LHH 1B that excels on the gridiron, as well. Big winner from our Titans Scout Day at the conclusion of the 2025 fall, where he showed standout barrel strength. Sturdy, 6-foot-1, 200-pounder. 

+ Key Metrics: 98.2 mph peak exit velocity. 

Bentley Baird 3B / Penn High School, IN / 2028

+ Quick Overview: Physical-framed, R/R, 6-foot-2, 220-pounder from a Penn program that continues to churn out talent. The right-handed bat carries power potential, pairing with at least average actions on the dirt and arm strength. Good follow from the Northern part of the state.

+ Key Metrics: 96.7 mph peak exit velocity, 82 mph fastball.
