As we are nearing the end of another calendar year, we have compiled a list of the top 25 most viewed Indiana player profiles this year.  According to our research through our google analytics, these are the most viewed profiles by you the reader in 2025.

Coming in at No. 24 is '27 INF Ben Canada (Guerin Catholic HS). The 6-foot-1, 170-pound left-handed hitter saw his stock rise arguably more than anyone in the Hoosier State over the past year. Canada opened 2025 with an impressive showing at the Preseason All-State, where he flashed a loose, whippy swing and posted strong metrics. He carried that momentum into a big-time sophomore season at Guerin Catholic, hitting .407 against tough competition while homering six times. The LHH continued that rise on the summer circuit, earning a Future Games invite, where he once again stood out as a buzzy name throughout the week. He ultimately committed to Northwestern in early September. Canada is currently ranked No. 10 in Indiana’s 2027 class and No. 268 nationally.

Scouting Report

3/18/25

Canada is a bat I am super bulish on coming out of this event. He is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with projection still left in the frame and a loose, whippy, left-handed stroke. There is some barrel feel with some bat speed & has a chance to grow into at least average to better power with present exits reaching 94-plus. He is sure-handed on the dirt with solid actions in total and I really like how the arm works across, up to 87 mph. He is a below-average runner for now, though the feet play quicker on the dirt, and likely gets faster with added strength/maturity. Huston Dunn offered several similiar traits at the age & is the current comp on Canada.

Body: 5-11, 155-pounds. Lean build on a projectable frame.
Hit: LHH. Slightly wide lower half with hands starting way back in stance prematurely achieving shoulder separation. Minimal load into drive leg with a small stride following a toe-tap timing mechanism. Hands stay back throughout load and stride mechanics ready to strike. Lota of torque in the upper body. Rotational athleticism leads to easy bat speed on an uphill plane.

Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. Long, loose arm action from an over the top slot. Shows ability to drop the slot when necessary.
