Infielders 

Ben Canada SS / St Theodore Guerin High School, IN / 2027

+ He passes the eye test with a 6-foot-3, 180 pound frame and room to add plenty to it at that. He hits from the left-side with a more-crouched setup and a shows a hitterish - short-to, long-thru stroke with the ability to leverage for pullside power. This has a chance to be one of the more impactful middle of the order bat in the class with continued development. Above average bat to ball present with developing above average bat speed. The run tool is fringy at best for now, but has trended well over the 2 years he's attended our events. The glove skills are very solid and there is strength to carry it from the left side. If the athleticism trends he could stick at SS, but at least has enough to play 3B at the D1 level. 

Liam Delp SS / Center Grove, IN / 2027

+ Delp is a spark-plug athlete that has some of the best feet in the class. He has burned 60s in the 6.5s and has been into the 4.1s down the line consistently. Is aggressive and uses downhill approach in the infield, playing on the run very well with a rangy nature. Arm is well above-average at 91 across and can keep him at SS. Offensively, there is wiry strength in the 5-foot-11, 170 pound frame for average to better impacts. It is a short, athletic, right-handed swing with present well-above average bat to ball for the class. Dynamic, do-it-all type that will showcase in CF as well. 

Grady Grant SS / Center Grove, IN / 2027

+ My favorite defender on this list is Grant. There is an ease to the actions at shortstop and he slows the game down exceptionally well. The hands are sticky and he has an above average arm across that will also show on the mound in Game 2. Offensively, the 6-foot, 170 pounder shows some of the best bat-to-ball of the group with a sweet left-handed stroke that shows developing impacts. He is an average runner but should mature into at least above average. 

Brayden Ring SS / Zionsville, IN / 2027

+ Ring is a very sure-handed MIF with a well-rounded skillset and an athletic, 6-foot, 170 pound frame. He is an above average runner for the class with some strength in an athletic, short, right-handed swing that includes low swing-and-miss and is enhanced by strong zone awareness. It is more of a line drive type now but there is a chance for gap-to-gap power. The infield actions are well-above average. Can play both 2B and SS now, arm will determine long term position. Very skilled prospect with at least average tools throughout that have room to blossom. 

Parker Robinson SS / Lake Central, IN / 2027

+ Robinson is one of the marquee names on this squad and will bring a pro-look with his 6-foot-4, 200 pound frame. He moves with grace for the frame and has burned 60s into the 6.7s. There is a chance to stick at SS long-term but could transition with ease to 3B or another corner. Is presently well-above average in all facets at SS for the age, arm looks the part of a tool at 88 across with clean action and carry, hands are soft. Loose, linear swing, accurate hands with some ability to lift. Power projections feel safe, hit 12 doubles this spring in strong conference. 

Isaiah Snavely SS / R Nelson Snider High School, IN / 2027

+ The number one player in the class and one of the more dynamic prospects for 2027 nationally. Has begun to pack on strength to his 6-foot-3, 185 pound frame, still has room to add. High end bat speed for the class with controlled, aggression as he turns a tight barrel. Present gap-to-gap strength with all fields power in play as he matures. Has shown big raw arm strength, up to 94 in the winter. Plays downhill well on the dirt, feet are carrying trait there. Future best defensive position is TBD but is athletic enough to stay up the middle. Has burned 6.6 60s and will be 4.2 down the line consistently. Dynamic offensive upside with aggressive nature and chance to develop plus raw power. 


Utility

3 versatile bats with loud tools that show up in multiple facets

Aden Baggett LHP / 1B / OF North High School, IN / 2027

+ Primary LHP that has been up to 88, sits 82-86, with feel for four pitches. Clean arm action with wiry strength and projection to a 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame. Also doubles as a strong left-handed hitter with solid barrel feel to pair. Athletic enough to play a corner outfield spot and has the hands to play 1B. Very interesting two-way player. 

Mason Meyer OF / Mt Vernon High School, IN / 2027

+ Meyer is a big time performer with a ranging skillset to pair with an advanced toolset. He burned a 6.5 60-yard dash at Scout Day this summer and produced triple digit showcase exits with an explosive right-handed stroke. In my opinion, it is the best hit tool in the class, short, quick, and athletic - and he has done it over a longer track record & against 95+ in looks throughout the past two springs. He has the ability to play C and CF at the next level with the aptitude to play 2B, LF, and RF. I think CF is where he is best presently, tracks very well. Is an advanced athlete behind the dish with low-80s arm strength. It is a true UTL profile due to the athleticism and arm strength that the 5-foot-10, 175 pounder holds. The makeup is strong - tough, competitive, multi-sport (QB) kid. 

Camden Moore 3B / OF / RHP / Zionsville, IN / 2027

+ Premier, athletic, 6-foot-5, 200 pounder with big tools across the board. Power potential and arm talent are best attributes, also shows above average contact skills. Leveraged right-handed stroke plays with a direct path and produces near triple digit exits with ample room for strength, chance for all fields power here with pullside already present. Primary 3B with solid actions there and enough arm strength to stay there long term. Hands are well-above average to establish safe floor of power hitting 1B. Also an above average runner, turning in a 6.90 60 at Scout Day this summer, and has the ability to pop out to a corner outfield spot. Will also showcase on the mound with a fastball that will play around the 90 mph mark. 


Outfielders

Colin Axel-Adams OF / Pendleton Heights High School, IN / 2027

+ Wiry, 6-foot, 170 pound outfielder. Athletic in the left-handed batters' box with strong wrists and accurate hands. Flatter path leads to ability to spray. 50% of his hits (14 of 28) this spring went for extra bases while also walking more than he struck out. Showed much of the same profile in the summer. 6.8 60-yard dash in the winter. Strong overall offensive profile with twitchy strength. Has blossomed defensively showing CF upside at the next level. 

Clark Bucher OF / Hamilton Southeastern High School, IN / 2027

+ A pick-to-click amongst this group that is blossoming into one of the top bats in the class. The frame is athletic with ample room for strength in the 6-foot-2, 180 pound frame. He is a 6.77 runner that hits from both sides. There is easy strength in the loose-wristed stroke with a similiar feel from both sides. The right side plays a little more downhill and the left is more advanced, but there is true switch-hit ability here with budding strength. I think there is at least future above average power here with foot speed likely to increase as well - one of the more enticing profiles on roster.

Drake McClurg OF / Center Grove High School, IN / 2027

+ The best overall athlete of this group. Also starring on the gridiron as a dynamic WR, Drake brings premier footspeed to the diamond with a recorded 6.5 60-yard dash. He plays fast on the bases and can really go get it in CF. Strength has blossomed in the 5-foot-11, 180 pound frame and he is really starting to impact the ball this season, up to 103 off the bat in-game. There is well-above average bat to ball for the age present, as well, and he does it from both sides at a fairly equal clip. He has quick hands with an explosive turn that shows up in both the right/left swings. 5 tools flash at times here, also owning a 90+ OF arm, and there is a track record of hitting. In summation, this is a next-level athlete with advanced in-game skills and top-of-the-class tools. 


Catchers

Luke Brown C / Evansville Memorial, IN / 2027

+ 6-foot-4 catcher with several traits to dream on, beginning with the 185 pound frame that holds plenty of room. Shows arm strength into the low-80s from the crouch with solid receiving skills to pair. There is a knack for the barrel in the leveraged right-handed stroke, and he flashes gap-to-gap power that'll enhance in the future. There is room for polish, but with the athletic traits he holds makes projections feel safe. Hit/power type potential with a chance to stick at a premier defensive position. 

Jackson Harris C / Carmel, IN / 2027

+ Harris will show a silky left-handed stroke in batting practice with exits near the triple digit mark, the highlight of the profile here is the upside of the bat. He flashes a top-end look at times with above average strength offensively, and more to dream on in a 6-foot-2, 185 pound frame. He is a solid receiver with plenty of arm strength in the crouch, shows traits to fit a true LHH No. 1 C profile long term.
