TOP FIVE

RANK PLAYER SCHOOL POS 
1 Tyson Moore Buffalo C

A physical 5-foot-11, 194-pound catcher with real run-producing traits. Moore produces consistent loud contact to the middle and pull side, backed by a 102 mph max exit velocity and near-94 mph average EV, with proven carry (378-foot blast). Defensively, he throws 78 mph with low-2.0 pop times and athletic actions behind the plate.

Strong, advanced, and impactful. Catchers who hit like this are rare.

2 Keaton Wojcik Mankato East LHP
A 6-foot-3 lefty with a loose arm and strike-throwing ability. Wojcik sits 86–88, touching 90.6 at the Upper Midwest Procase, and mixes a fading changeup with a developing slider. He’s already proven on big stages, including a state-tournament no-hitter, combining projection, poise, and swing-and-miss potential.

 
3 Alexander Kakach Wayzata RHP

A confident, competitive arm who works with an 91-92 fastball, grabbing a 92.9 at the recent Preseason All-State, and a sweeping 81–82 slider with 12 inches of break and over 2,700 rpms. He also shows a sharp mid-70s curveball, another pitch with over 2,700 rpms. operating from a compact, efficient delivery. Advanced stuff with clear upside.

4 Alejandro Chavez Osseo RHP

A wiry, athletic sophomore with deception and quick arm speed. Chavez works from a low three-quarter slot, running his fastball 90-92 (92.3 max) with life and spin. He pairs it with a tight 76–77 curve, and a changeup showing uncommon horizontal movement. With more strength coming, the upside is significant.

5 Jackson Kolb White Bear Lake RHP

An ultra-competitive right-hander who attacks hitters with an 89-90 fastball (90/4 max) that plays at the top of the zone (21 IVB). He complements it with a sharp, high-spin slider, and a changeup with over 20 inches of horizontal movement. Athletic, fearless, and mound-savvy beyond his years.
