Enzo DiCocco OF / OF / Brecksville-Broadview Heights, OH / 2026

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS - It has been a busy autumn for Enzo DiCocco.

“I’ve visited Miami, Wright State, Akron and Michigan, went to a Purdue camp and recently have had talks with TCU and West Virginia,” related the 51st-rated junior outfielder in the nation. “I’m going to a TCU camp in January and preparing for showcases, the ProCase and Warhawks Scout Day, as well as some upcoming camps.”

The search for a college home heated up on Aug. 1 when coaches were permitted to make contact with players in the 2026 class for the first time.

“It was pretty crazy and a little hectic with a bunch of schools contacting me,” the Brecksville-Broadview Heights junior explained. “Talking to schools from all around the country was fun. It was a good experience.”

Still, there was a bit of stress for the eighth-ranked 2026 in Ohio.

“It was slightly nerve-wracking not knowing what was going to happen,” DiCocco admitted. “After talking on the phone with the coaches I got more clarity about the transfer portal and roster sizes which eased the process. I had to see what they intended to use, the transfer portal or recruit out of high school.”

That is just a small portion of what the 17-year-old has been in search of in his recruitment.

“I want to go to a place I’m able to play,” Dicocco noted. “I want to win, I want to make an impact. I want to go to a place where I'm able to develop, have a good relationship with the coaches and my teammates. I want a good atmosphere, not only for the baseball program but the school and academically.”

There was help in getting schools on the radar according to the number two junior in Ohio.

“Performing at the Future Games really helped get my name out there to all the schools,” DiCocco explained. “In-game videos and from practice were sent out and my high school and summer coaches reached out which helped get my name out there to introduce me to coaches.”

It was an easy sell when it came to the 5-9 170-pound left-handed hitting outfielder.

“My attributes stand out,” DiCocco said. “I’m well-rounded. I’m solid defensively, have good bat-to-ball skills and have a good baseball IQ. I can show them videos and statistics to help sell my game and find what they’re looking for in a player.”

Kyle Weldon, Prep Baseball Ohio Director of Scouting, is certain that DiCocco will be a valuable asset to any program.

“I don’t expect it to take long for Enzo to adjust to college pitching,” Weldon said. “He’s an advanced hitter with above average strike zone awareness and plate discipline. The swing is direct and repeatable. He will be a strong addition to a college roster.”

The quest to continue improving is important according to DiCocco.

“I’m working on my speed and being a consistent hitter,” DiCocco related. “I’ve increased my EV, my arm velocity and all the metrics. I’m trying to be a more consistent player and reach my full potential.”

The recruiting process, for the most part, has been gratifying according to the 307th-ranked 2026 in the country.

“I think it’s been a little more involved than I thought it would be, but it’s been fun,” DiCocco said. “It’s been a little stressful, but definitely enjoyable talking to coaches from all across the country. It’s been a good experience.”

While it has been a busy time to date, there is no time to relax.

“I’m getting ready for showcases and camps right now,” DiCocco concluded. “I’m still undecided on a major and that’s playing a role in all of it. But after the camps and showcases, if I’m ready for a decision and I’m happy with the schools that want me, I’ll decide. It’s a step at a time. Probably by the end of summer I’ll make a decision, but it could happen before that.”
