2026 OF/RHP Yuya Nakamura was a standout at the Toronto Fall ID in October and has really trended upwards since then with some added strength, now standing at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds. The York Simcoe Titans prospect possesses equal upside on both sides of the ball, as a positional or as an arm. There’s some whip in the right-handed bat that works gap-to-gap with a hit-first approach that generated a peak exit velocity of 91.3mph (7+mph increase) and a peak exit velocity of 301ft. On the mound, the right-hander has the ability to locate the FB at 80-82mph, along with a curveball at 66-67mph, slider at 70-71mph, splitter at 71-72mph and sinker at 77mph. Another good showing from Nakamura who continues to get better each time we have eyes on him.
