Picks to Click

2026 Graduates

Nolan Foglio C / SS / Clackamas, OR / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 22 / POS: 4 The backstop was a staple in the middle of the Cavaliers order by the end of his junior campaign, and Foglio should enter 2026 as one of the more talented catchers in the state. Foglio turned heads at PNW Preseason All-State this winter, highlighted by exit velocites up to 98.4 MPH with consistent BP rounds at the plate, paired with a best pop time of 1.95 seconds defensively. The versatile prospect will be catching one of the best pitching staffs in the state, featuring 3 Division I arms offering very different looks. Foglio's experience at the varsity level cannot be overstated here, as he should have no trouble handling velocity from the catcher position with a bat that has the ability to change the game at any point.

Eli Wallace RHP / OF / Sheldon, OR / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 53 / POS: 14 Wallace was one of several standout arms from Oregon at PNW State Games this summer, and carries plenty of upside heading into his senior year. The 6'4, 180 pound righthander relied on a FB/SL combination to generate outs in a shorter stint, running his heater up to 84 MPH with some carry from a high-slot release. The SL was at its best when commanded to the glove side, with late break at 75-76 MPH. Wallace saw action both as a starter and in relief for 6A Sheldon High School, but could well see more innings with the departure of graduating arms. Wallace may also be poised for a jump in overall stuff, with a real shot to grow into more velocity as the frame fills out.

Lucas Gansen RHP / 3B / Churchill, OR / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 84 / POS: 24 Another intriguing arm seen at PNW State Games this summer, Gansen features a smooth delivery with a more compact, repeatable arm action from the right side. The athletic 6'0 arm ended his junior campaign with a couple of strong outings, throwing a CG in his second to last appearance and working a shorter relief role in his final outing. Gansen's strong finish to his spring carried into the summer, where he ran his FB up to 85 MPH with a three-pitch mix shown in Vancouver. Gansen's CB carries the most upside of his offspeed offerings, averaging nearly 2500 RPM in another look early in 2025. Carrying an impressive mixture of repeatable mechanics, present stuff, and a proven track record at the varsity level, and Gansen heads into 2026 as a easy bet to click.
