This weekend, some of the top talent in the 2028 class played in Eugene at the invite-only West Coast Super Sophomore Games event. Held at PK Park at the University of Oregon and at Bushnell University, several players made strong impressions in both the gameplay and workout portions of the event.

Our invite-only event showcased some of the top 2028 prospects from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Hawaii, Oregon, Canada, Idaho, California, and Washington. Designed as the premier fall scouting event for the Class of 2028, this high-exposure showcase provides a unique opportunity for players to perform in front of college coaches and scouts from across the country.

Below, we highlight some of the standout players out of Washington. Stay tuned this week for complete post-event coverage.

West Coast Super Sophomore Games

Quick Hits - Washington

C Joseph Bense (Ferndale)
One of the biggest winners out of the PNW over the weekend, Bense dominated in all facets of his game, solidifying his status as a must-follow in the class. Set several new personal bests metrically in the workout portion of the event, including a 96.4 MPH peak exit velocity, a 7.16 second 60-time, and 81 MPH throws with a 1.90 second pop time behind the plate. Bense carried over his stellar performance in-game, where he found the barrel to the pull side in all three games with an aggressive RH stroke. Though not typically a pitcher, Bense capped his performance by hopping on the mound and running the FB up to 86.9 MPH, striking out several hitters in a short stint. Must-follow in the class.

INF Dominic D'Amico (Bainbridge)
Another player that set several new-bests metrically, D'Amico continues to trend upward as one of the best bats in Washington's sophomore class. The righty peaked with a 97.9 MPH exit velocity and averaged 92.4 MPH across strong BP rounds. The strong 6'2 frame moved well in the infield with throws up to 84 MPH and a 60-time of 7.11 seconds. In-game, D'Amico caught fire late, collecting three hard hits in his final game, including a triple the other way. Strength in his levers with a barrel that stays in the zone well has led to success all year long.

RHP/OF Kameron Diederichs (Newport)
Few players have a higher ceiling than the 6'4 Newport High School transfer, and the upside certainly flashed at times this weekend in Eugene. On the mound, Diederichs ran the FB up to an event-best 88.7 MPH, showing developing command with a CH/SL offspeed combination. Longer, powerful levers showed ability to impact the baseball at the plate when synced up, posting exit velocities up to 97.1 MPH and a max batted ball distance of 372 feet. 7.18 runner will be an intriguing follow moving forward.

1B Greg Johnson (Puyallup)
One of the premier bats in the area, Johnson put togther one of the loudest BP rounds on day one, peaking with a 101.9 MPH and averaging 98.6 MPH exit velocities. Left a larger yard easily while staying under control in his swing, driving balls up to 394 feet. Johnson has shown increasing athleticism in his larger, strong frame, posting a new-best 7.15 second 60 yard dash. The savvy baserunner also timed up pitchers in game and collected multiple stolen bases, after reaching base in multiple contests. Must-follow.

RHP/OF Hunter Kirkeby (Tumwater)
The tall, lean 6'4 athlete put together a complete weekend, looking the part on the mound while continuing to improve as a position player as well. Fluid, longer arm action on the mound with a FB up to 84.5 MPH, paired with a sharp CB. At the plate, the longer levers generated loft to the pull side with exit velocities up to 97.9 MPH and balls hit up to 362 feet. More of a corner OF type defensively with controlled movements in either direction. Showed out well in gameplay with multiple hard hits and success on the mound.

INF/OF Tyler Long (Eastside Catholic)
Compact-framed, versatile player saved his best for last with a quality final game on Sunday. Long picked up a triple and a single, driving in three runs in game three while making every play on defense. The lefty bat stays short to the ball with a gap-to-gap approach. Long also drove balls up to 336 feet with 7.1 second speed translating to any position up the middle. An intuitive, hard-nosed player, Long should continue to produce at the high school level as a top of the order bat.

1B Cael Miller (Kentwood)
Ultra-strong righthanded bat swung it well all weekend long, collecting multiple hits and generating consistent hard contact while playing a quality first base as well. Miller began his weekend with strong BP rounds, generating plus batspeed and driving balls up to 355 feet. The Kentwood bat posted a 95.7 MPH peak and 91.2 MPH average exit velocity. In-game, Miller's weekend was highlighted by a ringing double, maintaining shorter levers with strength throughout the slight uphill swing path. 

INF Lincoln Moore (Kentlake)
The top-ranked player in Washington's 2028 class has been seen several times this summer, and continued to cement his status as the best in the class in Eugene. Moore started his event with a poised, controlled round of BP, lifting the ball in the air and on a line with a peak exit velocity of 96.3 MPH. The swing path was extremely clean with connection throughout and played in-game, where his best game came with a single and a double in game one. Moore also posted a 7.03 60-yard dash time and 84 MPH throws across the infield, continuing to look the part of one of the best shortstops in the area. 

OF/LHP Jack Ogliore (Skyline)
Ogliore was at his best on Sunday, collecting three singles across four at-bats to finish his strong weekend. The Skyline product features a 5'11 frame with plenty of room to add strength, showcasing feel for the barrel and an all-fields approach from the left side of the plate. On the mound, Ogliore also featured a lower-spin operation with a FB up over 80 MPH. The lefty kept hitters off-balance with a CH/SL/CB offspeed arsenal, with the CH and CB flashing well at times. 

OF/RHP Albertino Pozzo (Mercer Island)
The JFG alum continues to show steady improvements in his game as he continues to develop and add strength. Pozzo began his event with quality BP rounds, posting a 96 MPH peak and 89.9 MPH average exit velocity. The athletic mover features looser wrists through the zone with impressive batspeed generated. On the mound, Pozzo put together an exceptional outing when in the zone, collecting whiffs with ease and totaling 8 strikeouts across three innings of work. The FB touched 85 MPH and sat 81-83, peaking with over 2500 RPM. The CB was a plus offering in this outing, missing bats with nearly 2600 RPM as well. Well-rounded game should continue to play well in the years to come.

OF Johnathan Purcell (Moses Lake)
After a breakout showing at this summer's PNW State Games, Purcell put together another strong look in Eugene. Despite missing out on the workout, Purcell's play was exceptional in-game, capped by a ground rule double at PK Park that one-hopped over the RF wall. The medium-framed outfielder covered ground well in all three spots, showcasing his 6.82 speed. Purcell should enter 2026 as one of the more dynamic young players in central Washington.

RHP/INF Daniel Sleeter (Gig Harbor)
Sleeter opened his event with eye-opening BP rounds as a switch hitter, impressing staff in attendance with his ability to impact the ball consistently from both sides. Both swings stay grounded in a strong lower half with loft generated at times. The Gig Harbor transfer peaked with a 96.8 MPH exit velocity and posted an event-best 88 MPH throw across the infield on Friday, to pair with a 1.95 second pop time as well. Sleeter then continued to show well on the mound, running the FB up to 86 MPH with high spin and carry to all quadrants of the strike zone. A starter's profile with several variations on his pitches, Sleeter should be a dominant two-way player in years to come.

RHP Sennet Timmermans (Lincoln)
A top-ten player in the '28 ranks, Timmermans showed familiar smoothness and repeatability to go alongside his strike throwing ability and arm talent from the right side. The 6'5 frame moved well down the mound with a FB up to 86.7 MPH, sitting 84-85 through his three innings. The SL showed real wipeout ability in this look with command to the glove side and over 2500 RPM on average. One of the best arms in the class will be a name to know in the '28 recruiting period next summer. 

RHP Tate Tuininga (Liberty)
A player recently highlighted for his standout summer showings, Tuininga capped off his 2025 with his best showing yet. The live righty arm sat 85-87 T88.3 MPH, the second-fastest pitch of any player this weekend. Tuininga's long-levered 6'4 frame featured a longer, whippy arm action into a 3/4 to lower 3/4 slot release. Another starter profile moving forward, Tuininga also mixed in a CH/SL/CB in what was an impressive look. Tuininga offers plenty of projection to go alongside present ability on the mound.
