Ranked as the #3 prospect in Arizona’s 2026 class, Ryan Harwood continues to prove why he’s one of the most exciting players in the state. The outfielder for the two-time state champion Casteel Colts is no stranger to Prep Baseball, having attended the 2024 Pro Case at Pepperdine University as an underclassman. Over the past few months, Harwood has made intriguing swing adjustments, and the results were on full display at the Preseason All-State event, where he launched balls with true backspin, posting an event-high 104.1 mph exit velocity and a max distance of 406 feet. Standing at a physically imposing frame, Harwood is a powerhouse at the plate and will be a force in the SEC at Texas A&M. On top of his offensive dominance, he also recorded the top outfield velocity of the event at 94 mph, further solidifying his status as one of the premier prospects in the 2026 class.

1/27/24
#1 Arizona prospect in the 2026 class, is making waves with his impressive combination of size, athleticism, and hitting prowess. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 215 pounds, Harwood possesses a large and robust athletic frame that sets him apart. His speed is evident in his sub-7-second 60-yard dash, showcasing agility that adds another layer to his skill set. At the plate, Harwood's left-handed swing is characterized by elite bat speed, reaching impressive mid-80s readings, and generating a mid-90s exit velocity. Fresh off a remarkable freshman season where he hit an impressive .426, Harwood played a pivotal role in leading Casteel to a 5A state title. As Harwood continues to develop and showcase his talents, he remains a formidable force and a player to watch in the Arizona baseball landscape for the 2026 class.

Harwood was one of the main attractions at the Underclass All-State and didn’t disappoint as he had his tools on full display. Catches your eye immediately with his sheer size and physicality at 6-foot-3, 215-pounds. The left-handed hitter posted one of the best rounds of BP, flashing his pullside power with the top distance at the event of 382 ft. It’s a wide setup from the left-side with a toe-tap load and balance throughout the swing, consistently looking to do damage as the ball jumps off his bat. Put up some quality at-bats during the scrimmage, as well. His arm strength also stood out, working up to 90mph from the outfield and 88mph on the infield. Arizona’s top 2026 prospect and still uncommitted.
7/11/20
5-foot-11 170-pounds, physical specimen for a 2025 graduate, big strong frame for the age group with durability to build off. Worked out as a two-way player. At the plate, he hit from a tall upright base with a slightly open stance. Loads his body with control, riding his leg with low effort into front foot strike. Looks to drive the ball in the air. 75mph exit velocity that will greatly improve in the future. Worked out at first base and showed athleticism around the bag with some good glove work. On the mound, showed a smooth low effort delivery. Worked his FB 74-78mph from H3/4 slot. Showed feel for his CH at 64-66mph. Harwood is going to be a name you hear a lot in the future.
