'26/27 OF Will White (Ottawa Nepean Canadians/Uncommitted): White, 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, is an athletic outfielder that bats from the right side, currently uncommitted in the class of 2027. At the plate, he has a controlled stroke with quick hands, generating loud contact to the pull side (103.8 max exit velo). From the outfield, arm strength is present, topping out at 89 mph. He also ran a 3.73 30-yard dash. White is an intriguing positional prospect with apparent tools that scouts should keep an eye on.

'26 RHP/OF Ethan Pui (Markham Mariners/Uncommitted): Pui is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound uncommitted 2026 RHP/OF with legitimate two-way upside. On the mound, he worked 84–86mph and showed feel for a three-pitch mix (FB, CB, SPL) that works on different movement planes, giving him distinct shapes within the mix. The splitter falls off the table and plays well off the fastball. At the plate, he produced loud pull-side contact from the right side (peak 97.9mph EV, max 375ft distance), making him a versatile follow.

'28 LHP Callum Reid-Oldridge (Ontario Terriers/Uncommitted): Reid-Oldridge is a 6-foot-4, 195-pound left-handed pitcher in the 2028 class with long limbs and significant projection remaining. Already running the fastball up to 88.3mph (85–88mph) with ~2300 rpm, showing quality shape through the zone. He pairs it with a developing curveball (69–75 mph) that changes speeds effectively. Young, projectable left-handed arm with more velocity and strength ahead.

'28 RHP Rylie Zastre (Toronto Mets/Uncommitted): Zastre, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound RHP in Ontario’s 2028 class, has an intriguing east/west profile. He works from a lower slot that creates a tough look for RHHs, allowing the fastball (81–82mph, T82.7) to play with heavy horizontal action (17.9” HB). The slider (69–72mph) operates on a similar plane and compliments the heater well, providing distinct shape separation on both sides of the plate. Zastre has a unique look with developing stuff that makes him an arm to follow in the 2028 class.

'27 RHP Kai Prinss (Team Ontario Astros/Uncommitted): 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-hander in the 2027 class with high-spin stuff and present velocity. Fastball works 87–89mph (2400+ rpm) with quality ride, while both breaking balls flash impressive spin rates. Curveball up to 3000+ rpm and slider 2800+ rpm. The breaking ball shapes give him real swing-and-miss upside, with depth and power from both offerings. A true 2027 arm that college coaches should keep an eye on this spring.

'29 LHP/1B Easton Wilkinson (Durham Stallions): Wilkinson, 6-foot, 160-pounds, is a high-waisted, projectable two-way talent, in the class of 2029. On the mound, he features a fastball, curveball, and changeup, with the FB topping out at 80.7 mph. The FB/CH both have strong horizontal movement. At the plate, he has a controlled stroke from the left-side, producing line drives (86.1mph EV) and also ran a 3.89 30-yard dash. Wilkinson will be a name to watch as he continues to physically develop.

'28 MIF Johdany Polanco-Vidal (Valdez Baseball Academy/Uncommitted): Polanco-Vidal, 5-foot-9, 162-pounds, is a switch hitting middle infielder in the class of 2029. He was comfortable at both sides of the plate with an explosive and on-plane swing, topping out at 99.3mph exit velocity. On the dirt, his throw velocity tops out at 87 mph. Very impressive tools on display for his age, and he is on track to develop into a game-changer.

'26 3B/RHP Joseph Peirera (Etobicoke Rangers/Uncommitted): Pereira, 6-foot-0, 200-pounds, is a physical two-way in the 2026 class and one of the top uncommitted seniors in the country. A poised presence on the mound with an effortless delivery, he worked his fastball 91–92mph (2320rpm) with a sharp slider at 79–80 (2433rpm) and a changeup at 84–85 (1809 rpm). Also showed his power at the plate, posting a 105.5 max exit velocity with a peak distance of 381ft. Pereira is a top prospect that won’t be available much longer.

'26 3B/RHP Kai Howard (Etobicoke Rangers/Gardner Webb): Howard, 6-foot-0, 195-pounds, is a well built, two-way in the 2026 class currently committed to Gardner Webb University. Howard put on a show in his most recent BP with stunning data across the board with his explosive swings. Every ball off the bat was 100+ mph, highlighted by a 114.2 max exit velocity and 424ft peak distance. He pairs this with an impressive 60 yard dash of 6.78 and showcases a 92 mph max throwing velocity in the infield. Howard has the potential to make an impact at the next level.

'27 RHP Max Covriga (Team Ontario Astros/Uncommitted): Covriga, 6-foot2, 175-pounds, is a projectable right-hander in the 2027 class. Works from a 3/4 arm-slot with a longer arm action that’s noticeable through the delivery. FB worked 86–89mph (T89.6), with a slider at 75–77 and changeup in the upper-70s. The high spin rates on fastball and slider combined with the present velocity, show the high swing and miss upside. Covriga is an intriguing arm with projection that should continue to draw interest.

'27 RHP Colton Lewis (Canadian Bulldogs/Uncommitted): Lewis, 5-foot-11, 175-pounds, is a right-hander in the 2027 class with a strong starting pitcher profile. Works with a four-pitch mix, showing feel to change speeds and keep hitters off balance. His fastball sat 84–86 mph (17”+ IVB), giving it some life up in the zone. The slider is a sharp offering with late horizontal action (-14” HM), pairing well off the fastball. He also mixes in a curveball and changeup to round out his arsenal. Lewis is a well-rounded arm with a complete mix and the ability to generate swings and misses.

'30 SS/RHP Jayden David (Durham Stallions): David, 6-foot-1, 150-pounds, is a young two-way in the 2030 class and a standout from the Rising Stars event. Has advanced arm strength for his age, showing 88mph across the diamond and on the mound, where he worked up to 83.3 mph, separating himself from the group as a real outlier. At the plate, he provided a solid round with a max exit velocity of 83.2mph, producing consistent contact and continuing to trend well. David is a young, projectable two-way prospect with plenty of upside.

'28 C Cash Wiley (Fieldhouse Pirates/Uncommitted): Wiley is a 6-foot, 200-pound catcher with a solid frame in the 2028 class. He impresses with a pop-time of 1.99-2.12 and showed off his arm, topping out at 79mph, proving he can keep the running game in check. Offensively, he shows flashes with a 93.5mph max exit velocity, with room for growth as he continues to develop. Wiley is a promising catching prospect with tools to build on.

'27 3B/1B Jalen Jacob (Ontario Blue Jays/Uncommitted): Jacob 6-foot-2, 253-pounds is a corner infielder with a strong physical frame, and is currently Ontario’s top prospect in the 2027 class. From the left side of the plate, he has an effortless leveraged swing with big power (106.6mph max exit velocity). Arm strength is present across the infield, topping out at 89mph, and he moves very well for his size, with a 30-yard dash time of 3.98. Jacob should be on the radar of pro teams, and is poised for a big summer.

'28 SS Jake Andersen (Ontario Blue Jays/Uncommitted): Andersen, 5-foot9, 170-pounds, is an athletic infielder and utility man in the 2028 class. Really consistent barrel throughout his round, living in the sweet spot with line drives. Compact swing that stays on plane and produces repeatable contact. Ran his exit velocity up to 98.6mph (90mph avg) with a 332ft max distance. Also ran a 3.98 30-yard and showed off an 88mph arm in the infield. Andersen is an intriguing prospect to follow with some standout tools.
