Holiday Hitters Toronto II - Quick Hits
December 20, 2025
On Wednesday, December 16th, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted the second of three annual Holiday Hitters Showcases (Hitters Only) with the Holiday Hitters - Toronto II at Future MVP Sports Lab in Scarborough, Ontario. This event featured roughly 30 players in 2026 - 2030 classes and allowed our staff a final opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan and Blast Motion.
Holiday Hitters always serve as our final showcases of the year, allowing players one final chance to update their profiles with headshots, video and hitting/swing data before the year concludes. It also gives us a sneak peak at some hitters who are eligible for the Best of the West Tournament, Future Games, Jr. Futures Games, West Coast Games and more (although it does not serve as a qualifier).
Today, we will conclude our postevent coverage within this Quick Hits article as we bring you scouting notes and video on six standout players from the event.

Yuya Nakamura OF / RHP / Earl Haig, ON / 2026Rankings StateRank: 226 / POS: 42
Uncommitted 2026 OF Yuya Nakamura (Toronto Mets) overall numbers have continued to jump since we first saw him last fall, developing well as a hitter, as well as on the mound. Athletic stature at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds with plenty of room for added weight/strength going forward. The right-handed hitter worked middle to pullside with a healthy mix of line drives (42%) and flyballs (38.5%), also showing the ability to drive the ball at times with a peak distance of 353ft (214ft avg). Peak exit velocity of 95.7mph and average of 82.7mph. Another good showing this year for Nakamura who has the tools and ability to play at the collegiate level down south. 226th-ranked prospect in Ontario’s senior class and would be much higher if you don’t account for reclassed players (true 2025s).

Griffin White OF / RHP / Silverthorn Collegiate, ON / 2028Rankings StateRank: 23 / POS: 4
2028 OF Griffin White (Fieldhouse Pirates) is still just 15-years-old and it’s a highly intriguing look in the left side of the box already at 6-foot-4, 170-pounds.

Marco Cunha 1B / LHP / n/a, ON / 20292029 1B Marco Cunha (Vaughan Vikings) was one of the youngest players at the event and the left-handed hitter was still able to generate the third highest exit velocity (96.4mph) and fifth best distance (323ft) for a Hard Hit% of 31%. Cunha recently just turned 14-years-old and there’s advanced strength for his age, standing at 5-foot-10, 170-pounds. The Vaughan Vikings first baseman put together an average exit velocity of 80.8mph, average bat speed of 58.1mph (61.3mph max) and average hand speed 15.4mph (17.1mph max). Barely 14-years-old, Cunha has plenty of growth and development on the way but there’s a solid foundation to work with going forward.
