Cole Kuhn RHP / 1B / St. Joseph's preparatory School, PA / 2027Pound-for-pound, potentially the most electric fastball in the entire state of Pennsylvania. A lean, wiry, long levered frame of 6 ‘5 and 190 pounds, there is even more room for growth physically. The pitch arsenal is a fastball that sits 92-94 mph and tops 95 mph, a slider that is 74-79 mph and an occasional changeup at 80-81 mph. The fastball explodes out of his hand from a seemingly minimal effort delivery paired with an uncomfortable arm angle for any right handed hitter to face. Kuhn’s development has been steadily improving with no sign of slowing down.

Troy Stimpson C / OF / Canon-McMillan, PA / 2027Rankings StateRank: 15 / POS: 3
An all-around catcher with above average athleticism and speed. Stimpson displayed his high level toolset at Lakepoint, Georgia for the 2025 Prep Baseball Futures Games. A very physical 5 ‘9 and 178.1 pounds frame that runs a 6.81 60-yard dash and mashes baseballs up to 103.1 mph exit velocity off the bat. His swing is simple, repeatable, and explosive, translating very well into gameplay. Behind the dish Stimpson boasts an eye-popping 1.82-1.90 pop time with a 79 mph arm strength. Overall, Stimpson has continued to develop into one of the Keystone State's top all-around catchers.

Cooper Burti LHP / OF / Cherokee, NJ / 2027Not many players have raised their stock more than Burti over the past 4 months. At 6 ‘0 and 175 pounds he is quickly developing into one of the nations top left handed pitchers. The pitch arsenal contains an upper 80s fastball, low 80s changeup, and a wipeout curveball at 73-75 mph that spins north of 2700 rpms. Burti is an uber athletic and twitchy ballplayer that can affect the game with his bat as well, top of the order type of bat with speed. He is a proven winner that helped lead his high school team to a Group 4 State Title.

Casper Billington OF / 1B / Rumson-Fair Haven, NJ / 2027Rankings StateRank: 20 / POS: 5
A top performer at the 2025 Prep Baseball Futures Games in Lakepoint, Georgia. Stands at an intimidating 6 ‘4 and 205 pounds, this frame packs a punch producing exit velocities up to 103mph. In gameplay the tool hit really shined, collecting almost 2 hits in all three games while virtually never swinging and missing. Looks the part of one of New Jersey’s premiere hitters for years to come.
