D’Ercole burst onto the scene this week as one of the more exciting 2028’s we saw, as he posted some of the stronger metrics among his class this week and looked comfortable in the box. It’s a twitchy and athletic look from the left side, using the toe-tap before getting on-plane with some violence and intent. Hands are set high but have no problem getting through the zone for hard contact. Gabriel posted a peak exit velocity of 90.1mph and a peak distance of 313ft, showing noteworthy gains since the 2024 Junior Future Games Trials in April and putting our staff on notice going forward. Should be yet another close follow in a 2028 class that’s taking shape right in front of our eyes.
