Nashville, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Top-Prospect Games was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 26th/27th at Hawkins Field and Riverdale in Nashville and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of players from the 2027-2029 classes from the Volunteer State. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Vald Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts and top performers from the event, including video and more from the TN Top-Prospect Games.

QUICK HITS

2027’s 


Roman Abbagnaro: Roman Abbagnaro continues to establish himself as one of the more intriguing uncommitted outfield prospects in Tennessee's 2027 class. The left-handed hitter combines present strength with athleticism, posting a 6.81 sixty, 102 mph max exit velocity, and 90 mph outfield velocity, all while carrying a compact 5-foot-10, 190-pound frame. The overall profile is that of a physical left-handed hitting outfielder with present impact, athleticism, and developing power. As the body continues to mature and the game power translates more consistently into competition, Abbagnaro has the tools and should get a lot of attention this summer on the travel ball circuit.

Ryan Pearson: The Brentwood product really came on the scene this spring where he was one of the most reliable arms in one of the most competitive districts in TN. Ryan comes with some bloodlines as he is the younger brother of Caleb Pearson, who pitched at Tennessee and offers a lot of similar traits. Coming in at a projectable 6 foot 3, 190-pound frame, Pearson’ possesses a strong and athletic build that blends a combination of arm speed with present stuff. The fastball worked in the 86-88 mph range, while touching 90 with elite movement characteristics. The spin rate jumps out immediately with 2,564 max rpm’s and an impressive 19.7 inches of average induced vertical break with 12 inches of average horizontal, thus allowing it to play with considerable life through the zone. The breaking ball sits in the 74-77 mph range with sharp lateral movement and late action coming in with both depth and sweep. The changeup rounds out a promising 3-pitch mix and a solid foundation for a starter’s profile at the next level. 

Hutch Weaver: One of the more intriguing uncommitted left-handed arms in Tennessee's 2027 class, Hutch Weaver continues to trend upward after another impressive look this summer. The 5-foot-11 and 160 pound southpaw showcased a smooth, repeatable delivery with advanced feel for three pitches, working a fastball at 84-85 mph and touching 86, while showing the ability to consistently fill the strike zone and sequence effectively. The pitch plays well from the left side thanks to 17.6 inches of induced vertical break and nearly 9 inches of arm-side run, creating difficult angles for hitters and allowing the ball to stay above barrels when elevated. The breaking-ball shows promising characteristics for a young left-hander coming in at 71-72 with some two-plane movement and depth. The 75-76 mph changeup shows the most advanced traits with nearly 15 inches of horizontal movement, giving him a legitimate weapon against right-handed hitters. Should have a lot of school monitoring him this summer as his best baseball is in front of him.

Lane Estes: A member of the Class of 2027 and a former Junior Futures Games participant, he once again impressed at the Top Prospect Games with a strong all-around performance on the mound. Showing a durable, projectable frame, he consistently filled the strike zone with three quality pitches. His changeup (77–79 mph) and slider (75–77 mph) effectively kept hitters off balance and generated uncomfortable swings throughout his outing. He paired those off-speed offerings with a heavy fastball that topped out at 89 mph and featured a solid spin rate ranging from 2,100–2,300 RPM. His ability to command multiple pitches and attack hitters with confidence, makes him one of the top uncommitted arms in the ‘27 class of TN. 

Preston Sumner: Sumner continues to trend upward as one of the more intriguing young infielders in the class. Athletic 6 foot, 176 pound frame with present strength and room for additional development posting a 7.08 60 yd. The left handed hitter showed an advanced feel for the barrel, consistently finding barrels, posting a 94.5 mph avg exit velo and 105 mph max exit velo throughout the two day event. Moves well defensively with good actions and enough arm strength to handle multiple infield spots posting 87 mph across the diamond. The combination of impact potential and defensive versatility, Sumner is a name that continues to gain attention in the 2027 class.

Luc Michitti: Luc Michitti continues to emerge as one of the more polished middle-infield prospects in Tennessee's 2027 class. The Brentwood standout combines athleticism, defensive actions, and a mature offensive approach that should draw significant attention as he enters his senior season. At 5-foot-11, 179 pounds, Michitti possesses a lean, athletic frame with plenty of room for continued physical development, while already posting a 6.70 sixty-yard dash and 97 mph max exit velocity. Defensively, Michitti's athletic actions are among the most intriguing aspects of his game. The speed translates well in the infield, where he shows fluid footwork, body control, and the ability to play through the baseball. His movements are efficient and instinctive, traits that project well on the dirt and give him a chance to remain in a premium defensive role at the next level. As additional strength continues to develop, his offensive ceiling should continue to climb, making him a prospect college programs will want to follow closely throughout this summer.

Kayden Pledger: The rising senior is a two sport athlete who plays quarterback for his high school. This athleticism and competitiveness shows up on the baseball field as Kayden is a pure gamer. At the plate, Kayden is a top of the order hitter that gets on base early in counts using the entire field. In the BP portion, Kayden showed the ability to lift the baseball with a short, compact swing. In the field, Kayden shows smooth, advanced actions and should stay in the middle of the field at the next level, and stands as one of the best uncommitted position players in the 2027 class.

Jay Insani: Jay Insani is one of the more physically imposing uncommitted prospects in Tennessee's 2027 class, bringing a strong 6-foot-1, 203-pound frame with legitimate two-way potential. The Riverdale standout continues to trend upward offensively. At the recent Prep Baseball Tennessee Top-Prospect Games , his BP shows a hitter whose strength and bat speed are beginning to translate into consistent impact. Shows a balance set-up with minimal pre-pitch movement. Creates good rhythm into his load and produces strong rotational acceleration through contact. Leaving his BP round with a 99 mph average EV and a max EV of 103 really shows the strength in the profile. Came away with his furthest batted ball at 385 feet with elite hand speed numbers and there is suggestion for additional power coming as he continues to mature.

Wyatt Ayers: The Columbia Academy standout brings a compact, physical 5-foot-10, 181-pound frame with a strong blend of athleticism, bat-to-ball skills, and defensive versatility. His performance at the Tennessee Top Prospect Games showcased a player whose tools continue to trend upward, highlighted by a 92 mph infield arm and 95 mph max exit velocity. Overall, Ayers profiles as a high-floor offensive prospect with defensive versatility, above-average arm strength, and athletic traits that should continue to attract college interest. The combination of a polished swing, strong hand-speed metrics, and the ability to impact the game at multiple positions makes him one of the more appealing uncommitted seniors in Tennessee's 2027 class.

Hudson Snell: Hudson impresses with his ability to barrel competitive pitches and consistently hit the ball hard. His tall frame and long limbs help him reach balls that most hitters would pop up or bounce into the ground. Complemented by his ability to hit the ball hard consistently, this helps him to stay competitive in ABs and get on-base. In BP, he logged a 67% hard-hit rate with a max exit velo of 100 MPH. In gameplay, he got a hold of a ball low and grabbed a single off an unlikely pitch. His power potential and ability to get a hold of any pitch have us excited to see how he does in summer ball.

Garrett Stephens: Garrett is everything you'd want out of a leadoff hitter. Consistent contact, impressive speed, and occasional lift make him perfect for that role. The Collierville center fielder showcases impressive range (6.62-second 60 Yard Dash time) and a great arm, hitting 88 MPH on throws from the outfield. At the plate in BP, he hit the sweet spot consistently (52.6 %) and hit the ball consistently hard as well (90.4 MPH average exit velo). Garrett also demolished a ball to right field, sending it 379 feet at 102.8 MPH. After a strong spring season, he’s starting off hot going into the summer.

Gabe Hendriks: Hendriks is coming off a strong junior season for Dickson County after transferring in from Grace Christian Academy. The uncommitted rising senior continues to trend upward thanks to a combination of defensive versatility, physical strength, and developing offensive impact. At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Hendriks has shown the ability to play both the infield and behind the plate while producing quality offensive metrics that are beginning to translate into game action. Defensively, Hendriks may be one of the more underrated utility profiles in the state's uncommitted class. The 89 mph arm strength plays comfortably on the left side of the infield, while his receiving skills and sub-2.0 pop times provide legitimate value behind the plate. 

Benjamin Dockery: Dockery showed high-end athleticism at the Tennessee Top Prospect Games. The 5-foot-10, 168-pound middle infielder posted a standout 6.34 60-yard dash, along with an 88 mph infield velocity and 102.4 mph max exit velocity. Twitchy athlete with real bat speed and impact off the barrel. Defensively, the athleticism plays in the middle infield with quick feet and arm strength. More to fill in his frame. On the mound, Dockery worked 86-88 mph, touching 89, with good ride on the fastball and quick arm speed (2,300 + avg RPMs) He also showed confidence throwing his breaking ball, mixing a 75-76 mph curveball, 74-77 mph slider, and 80 mph changeup.

Colton Karkau: One of the top remaining uncommitted prospect in Tennessee's 2027 class put together one of the louder all-around performances of the event. Kakau showcased premium athleticism for the catching position, posting a 6.59 sixty and an impressive 27.3-inch vertical jump. The Ravenwood player was outstanding defensively, recording pop times as low as 1.80 while reaching 82 mph from behind the plate and 87 mph across the infield. At the plate, the uncommitted 2027 standout delivered some of the best offensive metrics of the day, producing a 101.2 mph exit velocity while averaging 76.1 mph bat speed and 24.2 mph hand speed. The BP was loud with many balls going over the fence and gives a lot of options with two-way upside.


2028’s 


Fisher Green - One of the all-around best performers, Fisher showed that he’s one of the most complete players coming out of the 2028 class. Offensively, he's always a threat to hit hard liners for extra bases and occasionally send one out. At the Tennessee Top Prospect Games, He hit a max exit velo of 99 MPH and had a 50 % hard-hit rate in BP. In gameplay, after he just barely missed a home run to left, he would come all the way around on an inside-the-park home run shortly after on a line-drive shot to RCF. Defensively, Fisher showcases good range and a reliable arm in the infield. There were multiple instances in gameplay where Fisher made the difficult throws and saved some base hits for his team. The #2-ranked SS in the state continues to improve in every facet of his game.

Joseph Mosley: Mosely continues to show intriguing upside with a strong, athletic 6 foot, 193 pound frame and present strength throughout. The right handed hitter stays through the ball well and shows a simple, controlled swing with good balance, creating easy leverage helping produce a 101 mph max exit velo with a 386 foot max distance. Defensively, the athletic actions and 92 mph arm strength project well in the outfield, while the overall combination of speed (6.83, 60 yd), strength and hit tool make him an intriguing prospect to follow in the 2028 class.

Crew Chance: Chance continues to show why he's one of the more intriguing young backdrops in the state. Compact, physical 5 foot 9, 184-pound frame with athleticism present. (6.65 60-yd, 25.8” vertical) and strength throughout. Compact stroke from the left side creates loud contact (102 EV) with advanced feel for the barrel. Defensively, Chance impacts the game with plus catch and throw ability, posting 1.83-1.96 pop times with 81 mph from arm strength from behind the plate and up to 87 mph from the outfield. Athletic catcher with present offensive upside and advanced defensive tools, whose stock is only going to trend up. 

Jack Rhodes: Fresh off a state championship with the Lions, Rhodes continued to showcase his abilities in front of our staff at Vanderbilt, posting a 6.80-second 60-yard dash and a 102 mph max exit velocity. Rhodes has a great frame (6 foot 3, 190 lbs.) and the potential to develop into a true five-tool player. Behind the dish, he displayed great actions and recorded a 1.84 pop time while also throwing out a runner during game action. His defensive ability will have to get better if he wants to stick behind the plate long-term but offers some of the highest upside in the entire class.

Wright Martin: A very intriguing physical 6 foot 2, 240 pound frame two-sport prospect with present strength and power. The right handed prospect posted a 100 mph EV/386’ carry distance, flashing power potential while also recording 90 mph across the infield. On the mound Martin worked 85-87 mph touching 88 mph with the fastball with an average spin rate of 2272 rpm. The curveball showed swing and miss characteristics at 74-75 mph with an average spin rate of 2389 rpm and the changeup featured heavy fade creating a quality three pitch mix. A strong overall athlete who continues to trend upward on the mound and as a power bat. Holds multiple offers in football and shows projectable traits in both long-term.

Isaiah Steward: Steward was electric on Day 1 at Vanderbilt, posting a blazing 6.55-second 60-yard dash along with a 93 mph infield velocity. He is a twitchy athlete who displays quick hands and smooth movements both at the plate and in the field. During game action, Steward put his skill set on full display with an RBI double and several other well-struck balls. Name to know in the 2028 class.

Grady Callaway: Callaway, coming off a high school season in which he hit over .400 with nine home runs, did not disappoint this week. A physical presence behind the plate, Callaway displayed brick-wall defensive ability and recorded a 1.88 pop time. On the offensive side, his power is evident with multiple tower HR’s over Hawkins field. He would go on to post a 101 mph max exit velocity while showing a smooth, repeatable swing. He also possesses the athleticism and versatility to succeed at a corner infield position.

Will Sloane: Strong, physical 2028 two way prospect that stood at 6 foot, 204 pound frame and tools that stood out on both sides. The right handed hitter showed strength and barrel impact throughout the two day event, producing a 97.8 mph average exit velo consistently driving balls with authority with a max exit velo of 104 mph. Athletic mover, posting a 7.02 60 yd and showing arm strength that translates well to the outfield. On the mound, the right hander worked 85-87 mph and touched 88 mph with the fastball that plays up averaging 20” of ivb while the high spin curveball gives him a quality secondary offering. Sloane's combination of physicality, power potential, and developing two way skill set makes him an intriguing follow in the 2028 class.

Max Misenhimer: Misenhimer displays some serious pop. A 102 mph max exit velocity, combined with the ability to drive the ball to all fields, creates a serious challenge for opposing pitchers. A great athlete with a big frame, Misenhimer also impressed behind the plate, recording a 1.83 pop time and an 81 mph catcher velocity. In game action, he continued to shine with a two-hit day.

Champ Banks: Banks proved to be one of the better athletes in his class, showcasing a 6.84-second 60-yard dash and a 102 mph max exit velocity. He displays a smooth right-handed stroke and natural backside power. He also showed off his arm with a 93 mph outfield velocity, along with polished defensive actions. Banks is also a standout football player for Ensworth with his best baseball in front of him. Will be one to monitor this summer on the travel circuit.

Alex Potter: Alex Potter has a big frame that allows him to do multiple things very well. Standing at 6 foot 1 and 180-pounds, Potter shows flashes of being a true power hitter. His significant bat speed helps with his exit velo max being at 97mph. Defensively, Alex is very poised and shows off his arm talent by being able to throw 91mph across the diamond. With his frame and ability to play the infield and hit so well, Potter translates smoothly to the mound. The fastball sits at 86-87 while topping out at 88 with a fastball spin average of 2082 rpm’s. With the ability to throw the fastball well, Alex grips a slider that sits at 74-76. The ability of Potter to excel at the plate, in the field and on the mound makes him very projectable, especially with the frame he has as he goes through these next couple years in high school. 

Wyatt Jones - One of the most improved players we saw at the Top Prospect Games. Wyatt showed that he has developed 5-tool potential after the spring season. With solid speed in the outfield (6.75-second 60 Yard Dash) and an impressive arm (89 MPH OF velo), he has significantly improved defensively since we saw him at Preseason All-State. With one of the best power showings during gameplay, he crushed a ball to dead center field for a solo bomb. He immediately followed this by just missing hitting his second bomb after the center fielder hit the wall to make the grab. After hitting a max exit velo of 101.3 MPH, Wyatt should continue to be a power threat as he works on lifting the ball consistently.

Brett Paciorek: The current No. 1 prospect in the ‘28 class of TN put on a show in the BP round showing his ability to hit from both sides as a switch hitter. From the right side, Brett showed more of a pull side power stroke with multiple 100 mph exit velocities. From the left side he used the entire field to spray hits. Brett put on a show defensively with huge range and timing well beyond his years at shortstop proving to be one of the best defenders in the country. The baseball IQ matches the skills that will make him a hot commodity come August 1. 

Canon Day: One of the top-5 ranked players in the 2028 class of TN is an interesting two way prospect who showed the ability to do both at a high level. As a hitter, Canon shows good pull side twitch which could turn into a real power hitting third baseman at the next level. Showing a strong build standing at 5 foot 10, 195-lbs, Canon also has a real presence on the mound with a fastball up to 90 mph that comes out from a lower arm slot paired with a sharp slider. With his two sport athlete background as a starting quarterback, Canon shows an intensity and aggressiveness that is sometimes hard to find on the baseball diamond. 

Drew Wagner: The rising junior is a tooled up athlete with an incredibly high ceiling. Standing at 6 foot 3 195-lbs, Drew consistently put up 100 mph exit velocities maxing out at 105 mph. In the field, Drew shows some raw skills that need refined but showed an absolute hose with a 97 mph arm across the infield. As a runner, Drew put a crazy 6.76 time which is super impressive for his size. In game play, Drew hit multiple balls on the screws showing impressive twitch and also added a bomb to his resume. The sky is the limit for what Drew is capable of in the future.

Tyler Reynolds - A favorite amongst the Prep Baseball staff, Tyler has some of the best underlying swing metrics in the 2028 class. His bat and handspeed turn heads with a 21.8 MPH handspeed, a 75.5 MPH average batspeed, and a 78 MPH max batspeed. As he continues to increase launch angles, these swing metrics are early signs that he is developing into a significant power threat. Not to mention that he can send the ball flying consistently between 90-100 MPH. At a stacked first base position in the 2028 class, Tyler’s ceiling keeps growing as he continues to improve the mechanics of his swing.

Hudson Brown: We got another look at Brown and came away even more impressed with the overall makeup and athletic ability that we saw displayed over two days. It started Tuesday night at Vanderbilt where Brown set an event best on throws from the outfield with multiple 96 mph on clean shots to home. Carried over the early momentum into the box where he left with a max EV of 100 mph with a plethora of line drives. For day 2 at Riverdale, he would hit a long towering HR over deep LF to start the game with a bang. He would also work 2 innings of work and shows why he will be a highly touted priority this summer.The arm works quick with an easy release from an up-tempo motion. Lived 87-88, topping 89 with late arm-side life. His ceiling as a pitcher is heavily tied to his athleticism and physical maturation. He still has a ton of room for considerable growth to the frame and offers hard-throwing upside with feel for command. 

McClain Ridler: There are very few players in Tennessee's 2028 class that offers the combination of present stuff, athleticism, and long-term projection that Ridler brings to the table. Standing at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, the Summit product already possesses an athletic frame that should continue to add strength over the coming years as he matures, with still significant upside remaining. The left-hander showcases one of the more impressive fastballs in the class, working comfortably in the 87-89 mph range, while touching 90. The fastball also carries advanced metrics for the age with 2300-2400 rpm’s with equal 15 inches of average vert/horizontal break. The combination can create a lot of difficult angles and movement from the left-side that should allow him to miss barrels to both LHH/RHH’s. The slider shows intriguing upside where there is present velocity on the offering but offers more cutterish action that should allow him to steal strikes. The changeup is the real weapon with over 17 inches of horizontal fade and creating substantial separation from the fastball while maintaining similar arm-speed. There is real athleticism with Ridler that supports his long-term projectability. He is an easy mover with effortless arm-speed and someone that I am extremely excited about long-term. 

Tyler DeHaan: DeHaan was someone that we identified early last winter as someone that showed a lot of feel to pitch with three different offerings and the ability to use them. He would end up getting significant innings as a freshman and has since grown considerably where he registers in the 6 foot 3 range at about 175-180 pounds. The arm works late hiding the ball with advanced extension on his release. The fastball worked 85-87 with decent spin and arm-side run. Have seen it up to 90 in the past and looks very capable of more as he matures. The slider is more of a short darty action shape that offers some s/m. Will need to keep developing spin and movement to become a true out weapon. The CH looks very capable and is something that looks very comfortable out of hand. The spin could be killed more and should continue to get refined as he grows into the frame. 

August Mann: Class of 2028 RHP August Mann put together an outstanding performance on the mound at the 2026 Top Prospect Games, showcasing a complete arsenal and advanced feel for pitching. Working from a clean three-quarter arm slot, Mann consistently attacked the strike zone with a heavy fastball that sat 85–87 mph and reached 88 mph, generating sinker-like movement while maintaining an impressive average spin rate of over 2,400 RPM. He complemented the fastball with an effective 81–83 mph changeup and a sharp 76–80 mph slider that he threw with confidence, consistently resulting in swings and misses and expanding the zone against hitters. With quality metrics across his pitch mix and the ability to keep hitters off balance throughout his outing, Mann continues to establish himself as one of the top uncommitted prospects in Tennessee's 2028 class.

Drew Massey: Class of 2028 RHP Drew Massey showcased a well-rounded skill set on the mound during the 2026 Top Prospect Games, demonstrating both pitchability and command throughout his outing. Massey worked with a solid fastball that sat 82–85 mph and reached 86 mph, generating a spin rate between 1,900 and 2,080 RPM. He complemented the fastball with a sharp 70–72 mph slider and a deceptive 70–74 mph changeup, giving him three distinct offerings he was able to utilize in order to keep hitters guessing. With his solid pitch mix, and ability to effectively change speeds, Massey continues to establish himself as one of the top uncommitted prospects in Tennessee's 2028 class.

Brennan Mustard: Brennan Mustard can be viewed as a nightmare if you are a hitter. He portrays a very interesting profile from his 3/4 arm slot. With this arm slot, Mustard shows much movement with every pitch that he has in his arsenal. Within this arsenal he features a fastball that sits at 84mph-86mph while topping out at 87mph with nearly 19 inches on arm-side run. With the fastball being able to miss barrels, this sets up a high quality change up that sits at 76mph-80mph which helps with swings and misses. Mustard shows that he has a good enough arsenal to where he will give tough match ups with hitters as he goes through this summer with Wow Factor and next season with West High School. 

AJ Dungan: Dungan continued to impress at the Tennessee Top Prospect Games, showing the traits that have made him one of the premier arms in the 2028 class. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound right-hander worked 87-90 mph, touching 91, with great arm speed and plenty of projection remaining in his long, wiry frame. The high-waisted build suggests significant upside, and the velocity should continue to trend upward as he adds strength. Dungan showed good control of all pitches, consistently landing offerings in the zone and demonstrating an advanced feel for sequencing for his age. The fastball played well with life through the zone, while his ability to command multiple pitches will be his calling card as he matures and goes into the summer as the top ranked arm in the 2028 class of TN. 

Reese Hall: Hall showed intriguing upside at the Tennessee Top Prospect Games. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound left-hander worked 86-88 mph, touching 89, with a physical build and present strength on the mound. The fastball averaged 2187 RPM and played well from the left side, while Hall showed feel for a complete four-pitch mix. His 76-79 mph slider was the standout secondary, spinning at an impressive 2481 RPM and showing the potential to be a swing-and-miss offering. He also flashed a 77-80 mph changeup and 74-77 mph curveball, keeping hitters off balance throughout his outing.

Kaden McCarty: The rising junior prospect comes in with present good command with all three of his pitches. His fastball sits at 81-84 and topping out at 86 with a max spin rate of 2079. Along with the command of his fastball, McCarty throws a curveball that sits 69-72 with a max spin rate of 2110. He also throws a changeup that pairs well with the fastball that sits at 77-79. With solid mechanics and arm action already, Kaden will continue to improve as he continues to grow which will allow his velo to increase along with spin efficiency. With his top velo and max spin on pitches being where they are, it’s believable to think that his velo and spin efficiency will continue to improve. Kaden is one to circle as a definite follow for the next couple of years and especially this summer on the travel ball circuit.

Cannon Mayes: Class of 2028 Cannon Mayes showcased his impressive two-way ability at the 2026 Top Prospect Games, making an impact both on the mound and at the plate. Standing at 6 foot 4, 194-pounds, possessing a tall, athletic frame with plenty of projection. On the mound, he consistently attacked the strike zone with an 84–87 mph fastball that featured quality arm-side run (-18.2 HZM), making it difficult for hitters to square up. He complemented the fastball with an effective slider and changeup combination, keeping opposing hitters off balance throughout his outing. Offensively, Mayes continued to demonstrate his power potential, recording a 102 mph max exit velocity at Vanderbilt and delivering a clutch two-RBI double to right field during game action at Riverdale. His ability to contribute at a high level on both sides of the ball is a major reason why he is regarded as one of the top uncommitted prospects in Tennessee's 2028 class.

Dylan Lincicum: One prospect that continues to be on the rise as we continue to get great looks at him, and presently stands out with his potential as a high-level prospect. The rising junior stands at 6-foot-1 and showcased his speed with a 6.82-second 60-yard dash. Defensively, he showed a strong arm across the infield, reaching 90 mph on his throws and handling plays with confidence. At the plate, he drove the ball with strength, recording a max exit velocity of 97 mph. He brings a balanced skill set with athleticism, arm strength, and offensive potential, making him a name to watch moving forward. 

Grahm Johnson: Johnson showed out at the Tennessee Top Prospect Games with his 6-foot-5, 219 lbs physical frame and strong two-way upside. At the plate, he produced consistent barrels with a 101 mph max exit velo and 92 mph average exit velo, including a double off the top of the center field fence in-game. Defensively, Johnson showed natural actions and a good glove at first base, posting an 84 mph infield velocity and a 7.59 60-yard dash. On the mound, he worked 82-85 mph with a heavy fastball from a crossfire action that produced plenty of swing-and-miss. He also showed a 74-77 mph slider that he was comfortable using in fastball counts.

William Satinoff: The Nolensville middle infielder had a solid overall performance and showed off the athletic traits that have made him an intriguing prospect in Tennessee's 2028 class. Sattitoff displayed quick actions throughout the day, posting a 6.72 sixty while adding a 21.8-inch vertical jump. The right-handed hitter worked up to an 87 mph exit velocity and showed quickness to the ball with a 0.15-second time to contact. Defensively, he showcased the ability to handle the middle infield with clean actions and an 81 mph arm across the diamond. During the games portion, would go an impressive 3-3 with base knocks all over the field. As a young and athletic player, Satintoff remains one to follow in the 2028 class.

2029s

Brady Sumner: One of our favorite prospects in the freshman class, where we have gotten a lot of early glimpses this past summer and spring. The power potential is something that is pretty rare with easy bat-to-ball skills. After leaving impressive EV’s from Preseason All-State, he carried over to the Top Prospect Games where he finished with a max exit velocity of 102.2 MPH and a hard-hit rate of 88% in BP, logging some of the best numbers regardless of class. His performance in gameplay just proves all the metrics when he mashed a home run over the left field wall and just missed another to center that turned into a stand-up double. The Junior Future Games alum has the potential to be an elite power bat throughout his high school career and beyond.

Elias Chunn: The Battle Creek middle infielder has come on the scene as of late showing a rare combination of size and speed for a freshman. Standing at 6’0 195 lbs, Elias has a strong, athletic build that looks to translate well into a power hitting infielder. At the plate, Elias maxed out his exit velocity with 99 mph and shows an ability to stay on plane to keep everything on a line. As a runner, Elias ran a 6.77 60 time which is incredibly impressive for his size and build. In the field, Elias is a bit raw and will need to work on his timing and arm to be able to stick on the left side of the infield. Extremely impressive showing for a freshman that will continue to only get better. 

Parker Cates: The No. 15-ranked player in Tennessee's 2029 class showcased one of the more dynamic skill sets in attendance, posting a 6.48 sixty and a 25.5-inch. Cates put together a strong offensive showing as well, recording a 91.3 mph exit velocity while averaging 70.2 mph bat speed and consistently finding the barrel. Defensively, he reached 83 mph from the outfield and showcased many traits of a high-level defender. The left-hander also displayed his versatility on the mound, throwing the fastball up to 81 mph while mixing three secondary pitches for strikes. With his elite athleticism and excellent two-way play, Cates is a name to know and an interesting prospect for the class of 2029.

Barrett OBrien: Barrett is exactly what you would want from a top-of-the-order infielder. He gets on base at a consistent rate while also providing an elite glove in the infield. At the Top Prospect Games, he showed off his consistent contact approach with a 75 % sweet-spot percentage and a 63 % line drive percentage during BP. Barrett will also bring occasional pop to a lineup. In gameplay, he hit a solo bomb to left field with authority en route to a multi-hit performance. With his speed (6.91-second 60 Yard Dash), great range, and sticky glove in the middle infield, the Junior Future Games 2025 alum is reliable to help the pitcher out on defense. After a season where he hit for a .321 batting average, we are looking forward to seeing how Barrett maintains his consistency on both sides of the ball.

Reid Olivier: The former Prep Baseball Junior Future Games Pitching MVP continues to impress after a very successful freshman season for one of the top pitching staffs in the entire state. As a rising sophomore, the right-hander showcased a fastball that worked in the 84-87 range and topped out at 88 mph. He complements the fastball with a slider at 76-78 mph that shows the ability to generate swing-and-miss action, while his changeup sits at 77-79 mph and provides an effective off-speed option. With a solid three-pitch mix and plenty of room for continued development, he has potential to make significant gains throughout his high school career and offers big time upside on the mound long-term. 

Jace Scoggins: Jace Scoggins has progressed into a well known name within the 2029 class. Scoggins presence on the mound comes from his quality of spin rate. The righty’s fastball sits from 84 mph-86 mph while topping out at 87 mph while averaging at 2,086 rpm’s. The curveball comes in at 72 mph-76 mph with an average of 2,387 rpm’s. Scoggins third pitch is the changeup that pairs well with the fastball that sits at 77 mph-78 mph. By the way he can spin it, Jace is going to be one exciting ‘29 to continue to watch as he will gradually progress throughout these next few years in high School. 

Crew Elrod: The IMG product is one of the best catchers in the 2029 class and showed as much at the Top Prospect Games. Crew stands at 6’3 235 lbs and profiles as a left-handed power hitting catcher which is one of the most sought after archetypes in the game. At the plate, Crew shows a short, quick stroke with good lift with power to the pull side. Defensively, Crew consistently had his pop times in the 1.9’s and looks to be able to catch long term. Crew will be a sought after commodity in the next couple of years as his ceiling is through the roof.

Lucas McCauley: Lucas McCauley is a very intriguing two-way player. McCauley carries two-way upside with versatility on the left side of the infield. The glove plays webb above average with easy movement for the length. At the plate, Lucas portrays a very simple but effective swing which will allow for a more consistent hitter. The exit velo can jump up to 96 mph with multiple mid 90’s EV’s, with more coming as he continues to progress. On the mound, Lucas shows good control of his body as his fastball sits at 85-86 while topping out at 87. To complement the fastball, he throws a sharp curveball that sits at 75-76 range with an effective changeup that sits at 77-79. With the capability of being so effective at the plate and on the mound, McCauley is going to be a well known name as he continues to mature through high school.

McClain Garner: The former Junior Future Games alum that has a high ceiling as a left-handed hitting catcher. McClain has a good, strong build for the position and will continue to grow. As a hitter, McClain has some twitchy athletic actions that creates good pop in the mid-90s exit velocities, while also having good barrel control that gives him a rare ability for a lefty hitter to use the whole field. Defensively, McClain has shown a lot of growth behind the late consistently getting 1.9-2 pop times. McClain is a two sport athlete that brings his athleticism to the baseball field and will be one to watch as he continues to progress. 

William Scott: The rising sophomore Farragut product showed a complete skill set, posting a 93 mph exit velocity and 71.5 mph bat speed during offensive evaluation. Defensively, he showed his ability in multiple positions, recording an 86 mph infield velocity and pop times down to 1.91 seconds behind the plate. On the mound, Scott peaked at 86 mph with the fastball, averaging 2,275 rpm while pairing it with a quality changeup. With his arm strength and strong two-way play, Scott continues to establish himself as an interesting young prospect in Tennessee’s 2029 class and someone that looks to be in line with the long list of talented Admirals.

Barrett Gates: The No.8 ranked player in Tennessee’s 2029 class continued to show why he is one of the top catchers in the state. Behind the plate, Gates recorded quick pop times of 1.82-1.85 while reaching 80 mph on throws. The right-hander put together an impressive offensive showing, working up to a 92.8 mph exit velocity and averaging a 71.6 mph bat speed. Gates also showcased his ability on the mound, getting up to 84 mph with the fastball and 76 mph with the changeup. With advanced catching actions, present strength, and continued upside on both sides of the ball, Gates remains one of the premier prospects in Tennessee's 2029 class.

Turner Blalock: The Independence product had one of the best performances from gameplay at the Top Prospect Games. He stays through the zone and works to all fields at the plate. His contact-heavy approach was evident as he went a perfect 3-for-3 on the day. In BP, Turner showed great bat speed at times with a 75.8 MPH max. He showcases line drive consistency and occasional lift with a 93.5 MPH max exit velo and a 42.9% line drive rate. Turner’s skill set should be serviceable in a leadoff or clutch role in the lineup for ZT Prospects this summer.

Brayden Morrison: The two-time Prep Baseball Junior Future Games alum continues to show why he is one of the best left-handed pitchers in the country in the 2029 class. The pitchability for Brayden is at an advanced level well beyond his years with a true 3 pitch mix all being plus offerings. The fastball was up to 88 mph with good run that tails away from righties. His changeup is his third pitch but creates the same run as the fastball and sits in the low 80s. The slider is the crown jewel in Brayden’s arsenal with a spin rate up to 2934 and has been up into the 3000’s in the past. A true strikeout pitch that will only get better as Brayden grows. 

Hatcher Caldwell: The McCallie backstop is a newcomer to the showcase scene and has impressed so far as a left-handed hitting catcher with some good athleticism. In the BP portion, Hatcher shows a top of the order mentality spraying the ball to all fields and stays on plane well with good barrel control. Defensively, Hatcher is an athletic mover behind the plate with quick actions that equated to a consistent pop time in the low 1.9s. Hatcher will be one to watch as he possesses a rare commodity hitting from the left side as a catcher.

He mixed a 67-72 mph curveball, 73-75 mph changeup, and 69-71 mph slider, showing feel for multiple pitches and the ability to keep hitters off balance. Downen is a must 2029 follow.

Cannon Jewell: The former Prep Baseball Junior Future Games alum built off a lot of success going into his freshman year where he became an everyday starter and middle of the order bat.
