Jalen Bowman OF / RHP / Malvern Prep, PA / 2027Bowman leaped over 20 slots, landing into the top ten of Keystone State’s finest players. After his explosive summer circuit, he established his name into the conversation of one of the nation's top athletes. An elite 6.28 sixty-yard dash with a 1.60 ten-yard split, 3.59 thirty-yard split, and a max spring speed of 23 mph. This 5 ‘11 and 170-pound outfielder is more than a runner; he can slug with the best of them producing a 100.4 mph exit velocity at this year's Future Games. An elite talent out of Eastern Pennsylvania.

Jumping over 30 spots the course of the last calendar year, the development and progression of his all-around game has been noticeable and impressive.

The recent University of Cincinnati commit has made strides into the top infielders conversation in the entire state. Stofik is a smooth swinging right handed hitter, with high-level barrel awareness and the ability to elevate the baseball consistently. His defense is what separates him from the pack, an arm up to 90 mph and fluid footwork that puts himself in positions to make all plays. The Western Pennsylvania talent is a high rising talent.

One of the highest risers in the entire state, moving over 50 slots and landing at the 50th overall spot. Flannery is a lean, wiry catcher that moves exceptionally well behind the plate. Has displayed pop-times as low as 1.87-1.89 with an arm strength up to an impressive 80 mph. The offensive talent has continued to develop as well with exit velocities up to 95.9 mph and a 75 percent sweet-spot percentage. A catcher to keep an eye on.

A new entry into the rankings landing at 63rd overall in the state. The Western Pennsylvania talent burst onto the Prep Baseball scene this summer displaying his advanced physicality and quick twitch footwork in the field. Concepcion is a strong 6 ‘0 and 195-pound middle infielder that can make off-balanced plays all across the field. Offensively, he provides some pull side pop with exit velocities up to 95.2 mph and a max distance of 341 feet. An intriguing middle infield prospect.
