Hawaii's 2024 batting champ (.545) stayed hot out of the spring showing off his hit tool at Future Games and Hawaii Fall Classic as one of the better contact hitters on Team Select. The 6-00/200 lb left-handed hitting RF/1B worked the left side gearing middle-away all spring then late in the summer started to tap into his power turning on pitches, utilizing his present strength and above-average raw power making him a completely different hitter and upping his value.
Defensively, Minami can play RF/1B and has even worked out behind-the-plate where he was better than expected with a 2.03 pop-time and 76 catcher velo with near-zero experience at catcher. Add 87 from the OF which projects as plenty of arm for RF and solid defender at 1B makes Minami a versatile defender with utility value which is so important on a DI roster with the new roster rules.
Minami is on of the top Prep Baseball Hawaii uncommitted players and one who DI's are keeping a close eye on as a potential summer 2026 commit.
