TOP UNCOMMITTED 2025S

Jack Cowling SS / North Point, MO / 2025

6-foot-5, 200-pounds, currently the top uncommitted prospect in the state's junior class. Power stuff, was up to 89 mph at an event this winter and pitched in the mid-to-upper-80s in a game look this spring. Sharp high spin slider (T2826 RPM), still developing complete feel but has swing-and-miss upside. Struck out 60 batters in 39 1/3 innings of work with a 2.14 ERA for the Grizzlies this past season.

Ryker Benz 1B / Vianney, MO / 2025

6-foot, 205-pound athlete that holds strength throughout his frame. Physical right-handed bat, has regularly produced low-100s exit velocities at our events in the past. Also pitches in the mid-80s with feel to spin a low-70s breaking ball for strikes.

Noah Johnson RHP / East Prairie, MO / 2025

6-foot-4, 185-pound plenty projectable frame that's capable of putting on 20+ pounds of muscle mass over the next few years. High level athlete, stands out on the basketball court for East Prairie and ran a 6.90 60 at the Future Games last summer. Fastball sat 87-89 mph in a bullpen this winter, comes out clean with late run at times. Flashed tight spin on a slider at 77-78 mph and consistently spotted a 77-79 mph changeup down in the zone. An upside arm to know from the southeast pocket of the state.

Jake Collier LHP / Pacific, MO / 2025

Athletic 5-foot-11, 185-pound southpaw that's one of the top left-handed arms in the state. Coming off a dominant spring season where he struck out 90 batters and walked just 19 over 46 innings pitched with a 1.52 ERA. Fastball has touched 90 mph, playing in the upper-80s, with a swing-and-miss slider at 79-81 mph. Also throws a higher arching upper-70s curveball and naturally fading changeup in the low-80s. A high-follow left-handed arm that's still on the market.

Brian Gould RHP / MICDS, MO / 2025

Strong, compact 5-foot-11, 195-pound athlete. Was one of the biggest winners from our showcase circuit this winter, standing out at two events on both sides of the ball. Fastball played at 90-93 mph in our look with a true swing-and-miss sweeping slider at 75-78 mph. Strong hands at the plate with easy juice, squared his hardest ball up at 103 mph and was all over the barrel in BP.

Ethan Milius RHP / Fulton, MO / 2025

Lean, wiry 6-foot-2, 170-pound athlete with all sorts of physical upside that's a follow on both sides of the ball. Live arm on the mound, touched 89 mph in a bullpen this winter, while pitching in the upper-80s. Swings a clean, athletic, and polished right-handed barrel that should only continue to add impact as he tacks on strength. Finished the spring season for Fullton with a .453 batting average and 1.220 OPS, while also pitching to a 1.74 ERA over 40 1/3 innings on the mound.

Nicholas Steurer RHP / St John Vianney High School, MO / 2025

Strong, compact 6-foot, 175-pound athlete that's one of the top arms on a talented Vianney staff. Quick arm, fastball has showed upper-80s velocity both in bullpen and game settings. Power spin with depth at times on a mid-70s breaking ball. One of the top uncommitted junior arms in the St. Louis area.

Rylan Mills C / Oran, MO / 2025

5-foot-11, 200-pound muscle-bound frame. Represented Missouri at the Prep Baseball Future Games last summer. Swings a highly physical right-handed barrel with natural feel to elevate. Took one of the loudest rounds of BP that we saw this winter; 107.4 mph max exit velocity, 98.2 mph average, 360 foot peak batted distance. Easy arm strength from the chute, natural carry, plays in the low-80s.

Haden Terrill RHP / WELLINGTON-NAPOLEON HIGH, MO / 2025

Crew Norden C / Rock Bridge High School, MO / 2025

Physical, barrel-chested 6-foot, 211-pound athlete that doesn't lack any strength. One of the top uncommitted catchers in the state and has done nothing but improve his stock this spring. Swings a fast, physical right-handed barrel with thump that's proven capable of performing against high level arms this spring. Has taken a step up defensively; worker and true leader behind the plate with advanced arm strength that's an asset in controlling the running game. A name-to-know backstop in Missouri's soon-to-be senior class.

Luke Sullivan RHP / Parkway South High School, MO / 2025

Prototypical starter's size and frame at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds.
