The MPB Fall Classic picked back up early Saturday morning with the final day of pool play before seeding for Championship Sunday. Here are the top performers from September 20th.

+ CF/SS/RHP Cooper Vais (Arvada West HS, CO, 2027) got off to a hot start at the MPB Fall Classic with a two-run homer. The 2025 Future Gamer is an exciting two-way prospect whose athleticism jumps off the charts. A 6.5 runner with a 91 mph fastball and a max exit velocity of 106.5 mph, he is one of the toolsiest players we’ve seen this fall.

+ RHP/C Brayden Reiner (Arvada West, CO, 2026) dominated his outing yesterday morning, featuring an 83–86 mph fastball with ride and a short slider that tunneled well off the heater up in the zone. The 6-foot-1, 178-pound righty has plenty of room to add strength and velocity, but the carry already plays well in the high-80s.

+ LHP Jack Peterson (Millard West, NE, 2028) was outstanding on the mound yesterday, turning in one of the most dominant performances we’ve seen this fall. He tossed five no-hit innings with three walks and 12 strikeouts. The 5-foot-10 lefty is crafty and deceptive, relying on location and pitchability, with plenty of room to add strength as his body continues to mature.

+ SS/2B Anthony Misch (Lutheran, CO, 2026) had himself a day, racking up four hits across two games, including a double, a triple, and three RBIs out of the two-hole. Misch features a tall setup with low, loose hands, a slow hover, and a quick, flat release. At 6-foot, 160 pounds, the infielder has plenty of room to add size and strength as he continues to develop.

+ OF/1B Cal Heydon (Coon Rapids-Bayard, IA, 2026) is one of the top uncommitted ’26 players we’ve seen this fall. At 6-foot-4 with 6.7 speed, he’s an extremely valuable asset on both sides of the ball. In game one yesterday, he put together a strong performance at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a walk and a home run to straightaway center.

+ 3B/RHP Jack Cosgrove (Creighton Prep, NE, 2026) put on a show in game two yesterday, going 2-for-3 with two home runs and five RBIs. The lanky 6-foot-4 corner infielder uses his length to generate whip, and with plenty of room to add strength, there’s even more power potential to come.

+ OF/1B Jacob Olson (Regis Jesuit, CO, 2026) capped his day with two multi-hit games, including a double and a triple. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound LHH set the tone out of the leadoff spot for Slammers, showing a quick-twitch swing and a solid approach that kept him on the barrel all day.

+ RHP/SS Braden Wallace (Roland-Story, IA, 2027) turned in a quality start for 3T’s, going five innings with eight strikeouts while allowing just two hits and no runs. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound righty works from a three-quarter arm slot, sitting 82–84 mph and touching 85. His fastball showed arm-side run and paired well with a sweeping slider that spun over 2200 RPM.

+ OF/RHP Carter Taldo (Olathe West, KS, 2027) had a strong day at the plate for the KC Naturals, collecting two hits in both games, including a home run and a double. The 2025 Future Gamer is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound athlete just scratching the surface of his potential. With plenty of room to add strength, he’s a must-follow heading into his junior year.
