Cooper Sanders

Centennial

RHP

Cooper Sanders (6-foot, 174) is an athletic, projectable arm with a clean, explosive delivery. His fastball sits 89–91, topping 91, and he complements it with a sharp 74–77 curve and an 80–82 mph splitter, showing advanced feel and spin for his age. A loose, athletic mover with natural arm speed, Sanders is one of Minnesota’s 2028 arms to follow closely.

2 Henry Semans Blaine SS

At the plate, the righty shows mid-to-pull strength, above-average bat speed, and 102.2 mph exit velocity, with a 378-foot max. Defensively, he moves athletically at short, flashes an 88 mph arm, and runs a 6.82 60, giving him the tools to stick on the left side of the infield.

3 Emmitt Rentas Mankato West
Emmitt Rentas (5-11, 181) is a two-way talent who primarily shines behind the plate. Offensively, the right-handed hitter sprays the ball with consistent barrel contact, peaking at 95.8 mph exit velocity and 367-foot distance. Defensively, he’s an athletic, polished catcher with 1.90–2.08 pop times, an 82 mph arm, quick exchanges, and efficient footwork, making him a high-level prospect for his age.

On the mound, he pounds the zone with an 82–84 mph fastball and 73–75 mph curve, showing confidence and polish beyond his age.


5 Beau Cazin Blaine OF
Beau Cazin (5-11, 170) has athleticism and tools to impact all phases of the game. From the left side, he works from a tall setup, loading his hands back, falling into his stride, and rotating hard, generating plus contact: 101.5 mph max exit velocity and a 378-foot max distance. Defensively, Cazin shows a clean prep hop, quick feet, and a whippy 84 mph arm from the outfield, making him a reliable presence in center or a corner spot with above-average arm strength.
