This update takes a look at a few new faces that are introduced to the rankings as a result of fall performances in front of our staff. There were a few different ways to get in front of our staff this fall and some players took advantage of those opportunities by showing extremely well in those settings. Today we take a look at ten new faces inside of this rankings update. Each player's breakdown includes notes on their specific performance and some video from those times that we saw them.

VA/DC Class of 2028: New Faces

Landon Allen OF / LHP / St. Christopher's, VA / 2028

The athleticism has always been intriguing with Allen for our staff, but this fall the offensive production showed up, which is what we have been looking for. He put together some quality at-bats, proving to be a spark plug at the top of the order. The above-average run tool is a difference maker in the outfield and on the basepaths. If the bat can continue to take strides, then he can become a real threat at the plate.

 

 

Beau Bracknell C / 3B / Ocean Lakes, VA / 2028

It has been a strong transformation over the last few months for Bracknell, as he has shown some strides in all aspects of his game. There has been some added strength that has played well with some in game impact to the gaps. He has shown the ability to handle himself well in game situations behind the plate. It is average arm strength with quick exchanges. He blocks well and can manage the run game and a pitching staff.

 

 

Dylan Eberts 3B / RHP / Powhatan High, VA / 2028

There was quite an impression that was made from Eberts at the Mid-Atlantic State Games this fall. He dominated opposing hitters, collecting swing and misses in the zone with his arsenal. He moves well on the mound with the 6-foot-1, 176-pound frame. The fastball sits in the mid-eighties, and the slider is the go to pitch that has a chance to be a true out pitch. There is current pitchability with the exciting upside of what the stuff could look like as he continues to mature.

 

 

Liam Frazier RHP / 3B / Miller School of Albemarle, VA / 2028

There is plenty to dream on with the future value of the long, lanky 6-foot-5, 155-pound right-hander. He moves well for his size on the mound and throws with easy effort. The fastball sits in the low eighties and can creep into the mid-eighties at times. He also features a curveball that has a shorter shape that induces weak contact. There is still some polishing that needs to be done long-term, but there is still a lot to like with the future potential that he has on the mound.

 

 

Odin Gaitens 2B / 3B / Benedictine College Preparatory, VA / 2028

Gaitens was one of the most consistent bats that our staff saw this fall. He is a compact athlete that has shown the ability to impact the baseball. He works gap to gap with most of the impact going to the pull side. The barrel shows some whip through the zone with a slightly uphill barrel path. It is a hit tool bat that has shown flashes of getting to some power. He has solid actions in the infield that lean more towards an offensive second base profile. It is still early, but the offense is the lead tool.

 

 

Edward Holstrom 3B / 1B / Walsingham Academy, VA / 2028

A good athlete for 6-foot-3, 191-pounds put on a good impression with the way he moved with that frame. It’s a crouched setup with a simple barrel path that looks to lift the baseball. It is doubles power that isn’t afraid to use the opposite field. Defensively he shows good pace and nimble footwork with plays on the move. While he has the footspeed to stick at third, the frame and the arm strength suggest more of a first base profile. With plenty of room to add strength, there is a chance to become an impact bat down the road.

 

 

Keegan Kerr RHP / OF / Hickory High School, VA / 2028

An easy mover at 6-foot-3, 165-pounds, that throws with easy effort from a short arm action. The fastball has been up to 87 this fall, sitting in the mid-eighties. The mid-seventies slider is the go to secondary that he is able to land in any count. With the wiry frame, you can get excited of the future increase in velocity as he continues to get stronger. Heading in the right direction this winter, he is an arm to keep an eye on in the 757 this spring.

 

 

Wyatt Noble RHP / 3B / James River High, VA / 2028

There is some intrigue in what Noble can bring to the game, whether it is on the mound or at the plate. It is a wiry frame, 6-foot-3, 155-pounds, that has a chance to hold some weight long term. It is a clean operation on the mound with a fastball that comes out well that has crept into the mid-eighties. He maintains arm speed when he is landing the breaking ball for strikes. At the plate he keeps the hands tight to the body and has the ability to turn the barrel for extra bases. The present ability for both offensively and the mound is there, but as he continues to get stronger, it will be interesting to see which one will take the forefront.

 

 

Davy Rasmussen RHP / 3B / Benedictine College Preparatory, VA / 2028

When Rasmussen is on the mound, you feel confident in his ability to throw strikes and keep you in the game. That has been a trend, and it has continued this fall. It isn’t overpowering stuff on the mound, but he knows how to sequence his pitches and locate to generate outs. The curveball with late depth is the pitch that he generates the most swing and miss with. It is lean strength in the frame that still has more room to add. The pitchability is there, which gives him a chance to be successful.

 

 

Grant Williams RHP / OF / West Potomac High, VA / 2028

Williams has emerged onto the scene this fall with his ability on the mound. It is a lean frame that could hold weight as he matures. He attacks the zone with multiple pitches and knows how to sequence them to generate outs. It is a build-up-style delivery that has some late intent. The fastball works in the low-eighties, and he is able to locate it. The fastball sets up the rest of his arsenal that gives him success. He is an arm to watch develop this spring for West Potomac.
