2027 OF/LHP Jayden Simpson continues to flash two-way potential as the JFG alum is one of the better prospects in the 2027 class. The 5-foot-9, 145-pound prospect from the HPP Tigers has the actions and clean movements in all areas of his game with a smooth left-handed stroke that headlines his hit tool. Simpson put together a peak exit velocity of 88.1mph and peak distance of 253ft. He was also up to 85mph from the outfield and ran a 3.93 30-yard dash. On the mound, the left-hander filled up the zone with a fastball at 78-80mph, along with a slider at 68-70mph and changeup at 70-71mph. Tons to like in his game already and added strength going forward will take his game to new levels with added impact.
