MINNESOTA'S TOP FIVE 👑
CClass of 2027Buffalo • #1 MN / #179 US

6-0/200.6 • Right/Right • Minnesota commit 

MAX EV AVG. BAT SPEED C VELO POP
102.2 77.5 82 1.94

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.

95.4 2602 82.4 2738

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.

FB VELO MAX FB SPIN SL VELO MAX SL SPIN
90.6 2269 79.0 1981

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.


RHP • Class of 2027Osseo • #4 MN

5-10/159 • Right/Right • Crieghton commit 

FB VELO MAX FB SPIN MAX CL SPIN CB AVG HB
92.9 2338 2516 -11.5

A wiry, athletic pitcher with deception and quick arm speed. Chavez works from a low three-quarter slot, running his fastball 90-92 (92.9 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.


LHP • Class of 2027Cloquet • #5 MN

6-4/169.3 • Left/Left • Indiana commit

FB VELO MAX FB SPIN CH VELO CH AVG HB
91.1 2191 72.9 -15.0

Harriman has a good feel for three pitches, highlighted by a changeup that shows 15-plus inches of fade at times and a curveball that was effective for swing/misses to both sides of the plate. He uses his 6-foot-4 frame to create good extension down the mound, with plenty of room for additional physical growth. Harriman made significant strides between his 2025 visits to our Top Prospect Games, increasing his velocity from 82 mph to 91 mph.
