Picks to Click

2026 Graduates

Miles Soja OF / LHP / Ballard, WA / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 77 / POS: 12 Soja was one of the few non-senior regulars in Ballard's lineup this past spring, and with the strides shown across 2025 he could be positioned for a massive senior year. Soja set several new personal-bests at PNW Preseason All-State and PNW State Games this year, including a 6.87 60-time and exit velocities north of 100 MPH. Soja's summer look was particularly eye-opening, as he racked up multiple hits in gameplay while showcasing his usual speed and defensive ability as well. The outfielder appeared in all 26 of Ballard's contests in 2025 and figures to be a staple once again for the reigning state semifinalists. Should he continue to improve through the winter, Soja should be a top of the order presence with a great blend of speed and power, making him a likely breakout candidate.

Asher Crossley RHP / Lake Washington, WA / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 112 / POS: 34 The Lake Washington arm saw limited action in relief on the mound in his junior campaign, but could be poised for a much larger role this spring on the mound. The defending 4A state champions will lose over 80 innings from last season in graduating players Mason Smithwick and Shane Johnson. Crossley could fill that void well, already showing plenty of upside in 2025. The righty showcased a power arsenal at last winter's PNW Preseason All-State, running his heater up over 88 MPH while sitting 85-87 throughout his bullpen session. Crossley's 3 pitch mix could lend well to some longer appearances as a starter, with a low-80's CH and a low 70's SL shown as well. The key for the senior's success will mostly be tied to throwing enough strikes, as his pure stuff should overmatch high school bats, particularly if he continues to add strength and velocity.

Luke Davis RHP / 1B / Snohomish, WA / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 120 / POS: 36 The lean-framed 6'5 arm had a great junior season for Snohomish, tallying over 60 innings with a 2.32 ERA, and could be primed for another step forward into his senior spring. Davis followed his strong spring with a great showing at PNW State Games, working his fastball up to 85 MPH and generating extension easily with his longer frame. The mechanical operation and arm action both work well with late intent down the mound. This, combined with plenty of room to add strength to the frame, could lead to some big jumps in velocity. Davis has also filled up the zone with a CH/SL offspeed combination consistently during in-game looks, competing in the strike zone no matter the competition. Look for the righty to take another step forward and compete for what should be a strong Snohomish side this upcoming season.
