The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as the calendar rapidly approaches the start of the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are pulled directly from our '25 Class Rankings. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge 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 the spotlight on a Central Valley '25 3B/2B Wyatt Prieto out of Clovis North High School and a California Future Games Team member in 2022. With an athletic 6'1 185 lbs frame with wiry present strength, but room to continue adding more as he matures. Prieto is active in the box as he awaits the pitch which helps him to show good rhythm and timing in his approach. His swing shows relatively fast hands (24 MPH hand speed) with an aggressive turn (23.4 G's of rot. acceleration). The swing shows impact with leverage in the path generating a max exit velocity of 92.7 MPH while averaging 86.1 MPH with a max distance up to 338'. He has a good feel for finding the barrel with a sweet spot percentage of 78. With a good feel to hit and the strength in his frame plus good swing metrics as Prieto refines his approach and elevates the baseball with carry more consistently you can project average to potentially above average hit/power tools. The feet and hands work well with good actions plus average present arm strength that flashes above average potential to help him stick at 3B and would be fringe plus as a 2B. As more college programs begin to bear down heavily on the '25 class Prieto is one who should be garnering plenty of attention from coaches as a potential impact bat who can stick on the infield dirt.
