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. 7 is ’27 RHP Cole Cheatham (Union County HS). The 6-foot-3, 230-pound right-hander is the top righty in Indiana’s 2027 class, ranked No. 4 in the state and No. 124 nationally. Cheatham began 2025 with an explosive bullpen at the Preseason All-State, sitting 92–94 mph with a low-80s breaking ball. He struck out 95 batters in 37.1 innings for Union County in the spring. Our staff was impressed with Cheatham throughout the summer, earning him an invite to the Future Games in July. He started Game 1 for Team Indiana, touching 94.7 mph while showing a cutter and curveball. Cheatham drew significant interest before ultimately committing to West Virginia in September.
