Week of 5/10

Lucas Hubner RHP / OF / Smithtown High School East, NY / 2027

5-11, 175 lb RHP with a compact, athletic build and advanced stuff. FB 90-91 MPH (T91.1) plays above the velocity band thanks to 18"+ IVB, 2300 RPM spin, and an impressive 8.0 ft extension, creating uncomfortable at-bats and a flatter approach angle. The breaking ball arsenal is equally impressive. CB 73-75 MPH spins at 2500+ RPM with sharp downer action and depth, while the SL 76-77 MPH offers a distinct swing-and-miss look with late sweep and 2470+ RPM spin. Both secondaries flash above-average characteristics and give him multiple weapons to attack hitters. Dartmouth Commit

 

 

Michael Psarros RHP / OF / St Francis Prep, NY / 2027

Rankings  StateRank: 116 / POS: 41

6-4, 205 lbs. Long, projectable frame and a fluid delivery; starter traits. FB 87-89 MPH (T89.1) is the headliner, featuring 2470+ RPM average spin with 15-20" IVB, allowing the pitch to play up through the zone. The combination of velocity, carry, and strike-throwing ability (78% zone) creates consistent swing-and-miss potential.

Pairs the FB with a firm SL 78-80 MPH that flashes late bite and a distinct shape off the heater. CH 80-82 MPH provides a quality third offering with deception and separation, giving him a complete three-pitch mix.

Physical right-hander with advanced fastball traits, a quality secondary mix, and significant upside remaining as the frame continues to mature.
