RHP Thomas Ward (Port Washington, 2028) is an intriguing young arm who stood out at this year’s summer showcase, and he’s a name we’ll continue to follow closely in the 2028 class. Ward has considerable upside in his frame as he continues to grow and mature. His fastball reached 81 mph with life through the zone, and he showed feel for his secondaries — including a sweeping slider with heavy horizontal action and a changeup with strong fading action. He moves well on the mound with noticeable athleticism and body control.
