Standouts

*Listed alphabetically*

+ 2027 C Trayden Combs (Floyd Central)
5-foot-9, 155-pound frame with some present strength. Right-handed hitter works from a wider base with a no-stride approach, producing a quick, upward swing with pull-side intent. Hands work fast through the zone, staying consistently to the pull-side gap in BP. Behind the dish, shows fundamental actions with clean footwork and a short, quick arm.

+ 2028 SS Carter Durbin (Jeffersonville)
Twitchy 5-foot-8, 145-pound middle infielder with quick feet and athletic actions up the middle. Burned an event-best 6.74 in the 60, showing speed as a present carrying tool. Right-handed hitter with a short, direct stroke and consistent line-drive approach; peaked at 87 mph exit velocity with solid bat-to-ball skills. Bouncy defender with body control and a short, quick arm across the diamond. Advanced instincts, already logging significant varsity time as a freshman at Jeffersonville. Solid follow in the class with quickness and athleticism that stand out at an early age.

+ 2028 C Derrick Haynes (Jeffersonville HS)
5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitting catcher with solid actions across the board. Put together a consistent round of BP at this event, starting from an open stance with a short hand load and working a direct bat path with a line-drive approach. Shows barrel accuracy with a swing built to find the gaps as strength continues to develop. Behind the plate, displayed average arm strength with under-control footwork and clean, fundamental actions. Well-rounded young backstop with a steady skill set and room for tools to tick up as physicality arrives.

+ 2027 OF/P Aiden Jenkins (DuPoint Manuel, KY)
Athletic 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame with one of the better toolsets of the day. Turned in a 6.83 60, showing above-average speed for his size. Right-handed hitter with one of the day’s best rounds of BP — balanced, simple setup with a short stride forward, hitting into a firm lead leg. Swing is athletic with some bat speed, working slightly uphill to produce gap-to-gap contact. Flashed juice with a peak exit velocity of 90.9 mph. Defensively, showed an 86 mph arm from the outfield with clean actions. Also offers upside on the mound, where the arm works quick to an over-the-top slot and he sat in the low-80s. Intriguing all-around athlete with two-way potential and room to add significant strength.

+ 2027 RHP/3B Camden Kiper (New Albany HS)
Strong 6-foot-1, 200-pound corner infielder with a physical frame. Put together a solid and super consistent round of BP, working from a balanced stance with a short hover-type stride. Right-handed swing worked on-plane, producing line-drive contact with a peak exit velocity of 90.3 mph. Defensively, showed steady actions with an 83 mph arm across the diamond. Also got on the bump, topping at 84.3 mph with the fastball to post the top velocity of the day. Turned in a 7.20 60-yard dash, an average run time for his age. Strength plays now, with offensive consistency and two-way value making him a steady follow in the 2027 class.

+ 2027 OF Gauge Sillings (Corydon Central HS)
6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with room to add strength. The Corydon Central product put together a solid showing, posting the top exit velocity of the day at 98.9 mph. Hits from a tall stance with higher hands, working into a short, controlled toe-tap stride. Bat speed present with a level path through the zone, peppering balls through the middle of the cage throughout BP. Arm strength stood out in defensive work, reaching 89 mph from the outfield. Ran a 7.08 in the 60, showing slightly above-average speed for his size. Well-rounded tool set with strength projection that makes him an intriguing follow in the 2027 class.

+ 2028 SS Ethan Speer (Jennings County HS)
Lean, athletic 6-foot, 150-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength. Showed quality actions throughout the day, both at the plate and in the field. Right-handed hitter with quick hands and a level swing that produced consistent line-drive contact. Athletic defender who looks the part on the dirt, playing with smooth movements and body control. Already excelling as a freshman for Jennings County, with tools that will only tick up as strength arrives. Projection frame with athletic actions — best days are ahead.
