Kentucky commit, OF Nolan Ramoley (Brother Rice, 2026) kicks us off this year with our Top-10 profiles of 2024 countdown. Ramoley is currently ranked No. 5 in the state’s junior class (No. 241 overall), and has always been one of the more tooled-up prospects in the state, regardless of class.

2024 was a big year for Ramoley as he earned an invite to Prep Baseball’s most high-profile event for uncommitted rising sophomores, the Future Games. The event proved to be a big success for the 6-foot-1, 205-pound right-right outfielder as his in-game hit tool showed significant improvement, which included a home run and a pull-side double.

Read below to hear what our staff had to say about Ramoley at the event:

2024 Future Games: Recent Kentucky commit, Nolan Ramoley (Brother Rice) came away one of the event’s biggest winners. Listed at a muscle-bound 6-foot-1, 191-pounds, Ramoley boasts some of the loudest tools in the state across the board. Ramoley has a valuable combination of power and speed, cruising to a 6.52 in the 60 while also having reached up to 104 mph for his max EV. A right-handed hitter, he put up some eye-opening BLAST metrics in his workout, averaging 22.1 mph for his hand speed, 77.7 mph for his bat speed and 20.8 Gs of rotational acceleration. His defense continues to improve with more in-game reps, and he has the makings of a well-above average defender with his aforementioned speed and advanced arm strength (T92 mph OF). After an impressive workout day, Ramoley continued to show well throughout the week in gameplay; leaving the yard for a home run and also jumping on a fastball for a pull-side double in the nightcap. Currently ranked No. 10 in the state, the future Wildcat has cemented himself as one of the state’s top prospects.

There is only one sophomore in the entire Prep Baseball system that owns a 100+ mph max exit velocity, runs faster than a 6.70 60, and has a max throwing velocity above 85 mph: OF Nolan Ramoley (Brother Rice, 2026). Packed with strength at 6-foot-1, 205-pounds, Ramoley’s tools legitimately beam off the charts. He ran a 6.52 in the 60-yard dash with a 1.58 10-yard split and reached a peak run speed of 20.7 mph, both of which were the event’s highest marks and are well above-average metrics for someone of any aged high schooler, let alone a sophomore. To add onto his physical profile as a whole, Ramoley jumped 33.9” in the vertical test and also recorded the second highest weighted grip strength marks with both his right (196 lbs) and left (177 lbs) hand. Turning to the plate, Ramoley blasted the day’s hardest batted ball (104.3 mph) and his average mark of 96.1 mph was the second highest mark of the event. Seven of his 10 batted balls came off his barrel at 95+ mph, including three at 100+ mph, and he averaged an estimated 280 feet per batted output, which nearly came in as the day’s top mark. Ramoley’s Blast Motion swing metrics are all off the charts as well - his peak hand speed (25.8 mph), average hand speed (23.8 mph), peak bat speed (84.5 mph), and average bat speed (81.6 mph) are all extremely advanced. To top it all off, Ramoley’s arm played plenty loud from the outfield, peaking at 92 mph on his firmest throw to the plate.
