Uncommitted. MLB bloodlines. Contreras got the start at 3B Wednesday night, and really showed well. Made some tough plays where he had to show off the arm strength, on some close calls. We got to see him from both sides of the plate, and really impressed. The swing doesn’t change much from the right and left side. Both being tall, slightly open with a small leg. He consistently got his foot down on time, and found the barrel in both games. Contreras is going to be a name to know in the ‘26 class, as a premier 2 way prospect moving forward.

Facing a veteran lineup from North Paulding, Contreras showed impressive poise and maturity on the mound with stuff to match. Uber-projectable, high-waisted 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame, the uncommitted sophomore works downhill with good extension and explosive arm speed from a near over-the-top arm slot. Fastball is heavy at 85-88 with good arm-side run and ability to land to both sides of the plate. Advanced feel for a mid-70s curveball with 11-5 shape and good depth. The ability to land for both strikes and burying it for whiffs was present. Flashed a high-70s changeup as well with good fade and spin-killing traits (1100 RPM). The upside really flashes with Contreras, who could be just starting to unlock his potential.
