Ventura, Calif. - The Uncommitted Spotlight Series contineus as we are fully engulfed in the 2025 CIF High School baseball season and with plenty of SR. uncommitted prospects off to outstanding starts as the close their high school career with an eye on playing at the next level. With than in mind Prep Baseball California is highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes for college programs to be following come this spring. The player featured today is one of the top players in the state of California and figures prominently in our Class of 2025 Rankings. 

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts both through our in person looks at players and/or the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, and VALD Performance provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put return the spotlight to a SoCal high school product in the #332 ranked player in California '25 C/1B James Dell'Amico from Loyola High School. Dell'Amico stands an imposing 6'3 215 lbs and shows the actions behind the plate to stay there long term, but with an impressive bat which has shown well for our Prep Baseball California staff he can project as a power hitting 1B.

So far in his final high school campaign the powerful Dell'Amico is off to a .350/.381/.550 slash line posting two doubles, one homer while driving in four runs and scoring four runs himself about a quarter of the way through the CIF regular season. Those numbers back up an outstanding 2024 spring in which he slashed .460/.493/.634 over 19 total games played. Dell'Amico posted five doubles, two homers, 16 RBIs and 12 runs scored. His 29 hits, 16 RBIs, five doubles, .460 avg, and .634 SLG were all tops on the Loyola squad with his two homers standing second on the team as did his 12 runs scored. A consistent offensive performer with a middle of the order profile Dell'Amico is one of the top bats still available around the SoCal region and his performance at Prep Baseball California events backs up his impressive high school statistics.

With an aggressive RH swing which shows torque in the turn of his lower 1/2 with a rotational acceleration metric up to 25.2 G's while adding solid bat speed at 75.7 MPH with fast hands at 24 MPH the overall swing quality lends itself to an impact potential hitter. When he puts his swing into action Dell'Amico showed solid raw power at the Prep Baseball California Future Games Tryout in 2023 with a max exit velocity at 93.2 MPH while averaging 89 MPH with a max distance of 369' feet which all play in game as our staff has tracked his progress since the event and James shows the ability to hit with impact in game. The arm works behind the plate with arm strength at 83 MPH while showing a 2.03 pop time with some cleaning up of his transfer/footwork Dell'Amico has the ability to be a sub 2.0 thrower. Feet and glove are solid at 1B which is another potential future home for him. College programs who are looking for impact bats in the '25 class would be well served to add Dell'Amico's name to their board and keep tabs on this physical RH hitter who could add solid defense at a premium position for them in addition to his offensive abilities.
