Assistant Scouting Director

As we enter the summer showcase season, Prep Baseball Oregon concludes our latest series of player rankings updates. Over the past few weeks, we've unveiled our rankings for each of the high school classes, featuring some of the top high school talent Oregon has to offer. Today, we'll unveil the update for the freshman class, the 2029's.

The latest rankings list for the 2029 class features 25 of the top young prospects in the state, seen this spring in high school action or in a showcase setting. This summer serves as a major benchmark for the 2029's, as many of them will get their first extended look at ID and invite-only showcase events. Several of these players will be seen at our Summer ID events, PNW State Games, and West Coast Super Sophomore Games events in an effort to showcase their skills to college recruiters.

Below is a breakdown of the freshman class, including takeaways from the top, spring standouts, and newcomers to watch. Click here for our rankings releases for the 2027's and 2028's.

At The Top

Several players near the top of the 2029 rankings made early varsity contributions in their freshman seasons. This was certainly the case for Crater's Carson Noce, who maintains his position atop Oregon's 2029 rankings list. The talented freshman slotted in the middle of the lineup virtually from game one, producing beginning to end this season. Noce mostly played CF when he wasn't on the mound for the Comets, though he can excel in the infield or at catcher just as easily. Noce was a big key to Crater's success this spring, taking a step forward as a team from a year ago with a 21-8 record. The versatile freshman maintains his top spot in the 2029 ranks for the third consecutive list.

Few players impressed more this season than North Medford's Quincy Ballard, who jets up to number two in the rankings. The JFG alum carries a ton of projectability on both sides of the baseball in a long 6'5 LH frame. Ballard worked his fastball up to 84 MPH at PNW Preseason All-State this winter, with a live look on the mound during the spring solidifying his status as a must-follow arm. Ballard's ability to miss bats with all four of his offerings paired with extension and a loose arm down the mound should result in a ton of success moving forward. Offensively, Ballard also surprised with his power shown at various points during his HS run, including a huge home run in the 6A state playoffs. The freshman hit over .400 offensively with 70 strikeouts in 58 innings on the mound, and is a name to know moving forward.

Elsewhere in the top ten, Barlow's Uriyeh "Ozzie" Marguth also had a huge spring and jumps up to number five in the latest update. The sweet-swinging lefty carries advanced power for his underclassman status, blasting 5 home runs at the varsity level this season. Marguth carries middle of the order traits and was hitting cleanup for the Bruins by season's end, reaching base at over a .400 clip with 25 RBI overall. He also showed well at the catcher position defensively. The bat leads the way here for one of the better lefty sticks in Oregon.

Spring Standouts & Notable Newcomers

Prep Baseball staff saw many young prospects establish themselves as names to know as we provided coverage for the high school season. Lincoln's Graham Greenleaf was one of the big winners of our live looks, and works his way into the top ten. Seen late in the season during a 6A playoff matchup, the young righty worked a fastball up to 84 MPH in an eye-opening relief appearance. Greenleaf featured a three pitch mix with a low 70's CB and CH to go alongside his fastball that mostly sat in the low 80's as well. The body carries projectability with size, wider shoulders and a leaner frame currently. Greenleaf is the highest ranked newcomer to our latest ranks for the 2029's.

Freshman Sean Hausman established himself as a mainstay on both sides of the baseball for Cleveland High School this season. A 6'1 righthander, Hausman has also run his fastball into the low 80's and got the ball in big moments by the end of the year for the Warriors. The two-way talent was hitting in the three hole and playing the left side of the infield when he wasn't on the mound as well. At the end of April, Hausman had an ERA just over 2 on the mound and was hitting over .375 at the plate. 

Many players in the 2029 rankings have been seen at a Prep Baseball showcase event, including Crescent Valley's Blake Mitchell. The young player carries some size and strength in a 6'2, 200 pound frame. Though the velocity currently tops in the mid 70's on the mound, the arm moves well with speed out front and a high-slot release. We'd expect the velocity to continue to tick up as Mitchell develops moving forward.
