The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we near the completion of the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is continuing to highlight some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The player featured today was a stellar performers from at our 2023 Preseason All State Upper Class event. 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 SoCal '25 OF Taison Miller from Millikan High School. With a compact athletic frame at 5'8 155 lbs Miller shows an interesting athletic profile with solid LH hitting offensive profile and had solid performances at the 2023 SoCal Preseason All State Upperclass event. Miller shows present athleticism with a good run tool including a 6.84 60 time with an intriguing top end run speed of 19.8 MPH. His swing from the LH side shows solid metrically with both quickness in his hand path (21.3 MPH hand speed) and bat path (73 MPH bat speed) while adding in a quality turn with his lower half that produces 12.8 G's of rotational acceleration. The combination of his swing metrics with a feel for rhythm/timing during his workouts at Prep Baseball California events has allowed Wilson to flash an intriguing middle of the field approach that consistently generates hard contact (82.1 MPH average exit velocity) and on the upper end shows gap to gap doubles power potential as he maxes out with a 88.5 MPH exit velocity and has shown 334' batted ball distance with room to continue adding impact and strength over the coming year ahead of graduating high school. His actions are solid in the OF with solid present arm strength (84 MPH OF arm velocity) that he can likely stick in CF long term with an interesting potential to possible handle RF. His solid offensive ability that shows a top of the order potential with depth to back end of a lineup floor with a potential to stay as a premium spot defender in CF Miller is a name to follow out of the '25 class for college programs who has a chance to raise his profile over the summer/fall headed into his SR. season.
