TOP TEN
 |
Landon Schaefer SS / RHP / Fayetteville, AR / 2025Schaefer checks in at number one in the State and the 6th ranked player overall nationally thanks to his high-end skills with the bat and already projectable frame at 6-foot-2 and 163-pounds. The Arkansas commit has some of the best bat speed in the class and is already seeing the ball jump off the barrel thanks to good leverage in the swing. He is showing comfortability in the box and also shows an advanced feel for playing in the middle of the diamond with good range and bounce. Schaefer is just beginning to scratch the surface of his natural abilities and should be a fun follow over the next couple of years as he adds strength and experience.

Jaison DeLamar C / RHP / Fayetteville, AR / 2025Delamar enters the list at number 2 overall in the State and the 184th ranked player nationally thanks to his physical game and strong athleticism. Delamar is already showing the ability to hit the ball for power thanks to a loose swing with good hand strength. He is also highly athletic for a back stop running the 60 in sub 7 seconds in the past. Delamar can also hop on the mound where he can pump the fastball up to 90 mph showing off his advanced arm strength for the class. |
 |
Mark Brissey RHP / 3B / Batesville, AR / 2025Brissey checks into the rankings as the third overall player in the State and 190th ranked player nationally featuring an already physical frame at 6-foot-2 and 220-pounds. Brissey recently showed off the arm strength at the Arkansas Last Chance ID with the fastball sitting 88-90 with good lower half drive and showing good shape to the curveball. The Arkansas commit profiles to be one of the better power arms in the area. |
 |
Grant Wren RHP / OF / Melbourne , AR / 2025Long lean frame that is producing massive jumps on the bump. Clean arm swing to go with projectable frame leads to Wren being a top end arm in this class. Continues to progress and is a definite arm to follow as the summer draws near.

 |
Russ Martin RHP / OF / Rose Bud , AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 5 / POS: 3
Martin ranks in at the number 5 overall player in the State as he has been showing his pitchability this Spring at the Varsity level. Martin uses quick and clean arm action to work the fastball in the mid 80's with command. He can also shape two breaking balls both with good spin and action in the mid 70's with different profiles as well as showing a heavy changeup giving him a future starter profile. |
 |
Ridge Southerland RHP / 1B / Bryant, AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 6 / POS: 4
Southerland ranks as the number 6th overall player in the State thanks to his projectable 6-foot-3 and 205-pound frame and already showing some arm strength from the mound. At the Preseason All-State a few months back, Southerland worked the fastball up to 87 mph to go along with a lower 70's curveball with depth and a mid 70's change up with some arm side fading action. With his projectable frame and hand speed, Southerland should be a fun arm to follow over the next couple of years. |
 |
Jackson Estes LHP / OF / North Little Rock , AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 7 / POS: 1
LHP that has burst on the scene as of last summer. High end athletic arm that is continuing to jump with velocity and pitchability. High end arm with the projectable frame that looks to be a huge follow from the left side of the mound. |
 |
Blaize Ward SS / RHP / Maumelle , AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 8 / POS: 2
Athletic middle infiedler that shows a compact swing as seen in our Preseason All state event. Consistent barrel control leads to line drives all over the field and showed some sneaky pop this past summer at the Junior Future Games. Ward will continue to fill out his frame with strength adding to an already deep tool bag. |
 |
Broc Mattox 1B / 3B / Benton, AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 9 / POS: 1
Physical swing putting up leading exit velocities from our Preseason All State event this winter. Mattox shows a repeatable swing with balance and line to line power. Mattox shows feel for the glove and will continue to turn heads as he keeps hitting the ball hard to the gap. |
| |
Dillon Askew LHP / 1B / Home School, AR / 2025Rankings StateRank: 10 / POS: 2
LHP with upside in the 25 CLASS. Askew has feel for three pitches and shows control of an arm side fastball with a changeup. Advanced frame with room for continued growth Askew also shows a higher end breaking ball that shows swing and miss potential combined with fastball command. An arm to watch as he progresses through his career. |
