Colt Emerson SS / C / John Glenn, OH / 2023

Report: There was no change at  No. 1 as Colt Emerson (John Glenn) once again proved he deserved that title after shining at this years’ Preseason All-State. The hit tool is so advanced for his class with the ability to manipulate the barrel to pretty much do whatever he wants with the baseball. Defensively, you could throw him behind the dish or in the infield and sleep easy. Already holds D1 offers and has plenty more to come.

Clayton Burdette RHP / SS / Moeller, OH / 2023

Report: At No. 2 we have arguably the prospect with the highest ceiling in the class in Clay Burdette (Moeller). The type of prospect that it doesn’t take an expert to point out on the baseball field. As a position guy he reminds me of Zach Dezenzo, a previous Super 60 participant and current Freshman All-American at Ohio State.

Burdette is long at 6-foot-3 and doesn’t look out of place at shortstop although he may outgrow the position moving forward. At the plate he has run producer written all over him as we’ve seen him take a fastball off the top of the wall at 99 mph off the bat. As good as he is as a position player also has a huge velocity ceiling on the mound. Another guy who currently holds D1 offers and should get many more ... my guess as a two-way prospect.

Cameron Gilkerson OF / 1B / Hilliard Darby, OH / 2023

Report: The most explosive bat available in the class is Cam Gilkerson (Hilliard Darby). The ball just looks a bit different off the bat of Gilkerson, offering unrivaled pop in his class. Scouts are going to be drawn to the combination of physicality (6-foot-2, 205-pounds) and athleticism. A guy you could sit in watch take BP all day and we’ve seen him translate it into game more than a few times.

Blaine Albright LHP / 1B / Bath, OH / 2023

Report: The lone commit of the group Blaine Albright, a future Ohio State Buckeye, jumped up a spot into the top 3 after a very impressive bullpen. The Bath HS product is physical with a fastball up to 86 mph and that arm really works. The velocity ceiling is through the roof as the young lefty has as much upside as any in this class. 

Gavin Ehrhardt OF / LHP / Avon, OH / 2023

Report: The highest rated uncommitted southpaw at the moment is Gavin Ehrhardt (Avon HS). We’ve spoken to multiple coaches that have been around Gavin and everyone raves about his work ethic, type of person he is. Skill set wise he is up to 85 mph on bump, can spin a breaking ball, is a 6.8 runner, and has run producer thump also from the left side in the box. You could make an argument his highest upside is on the mound but he still comfortably is labeled a two-way prospect.

TJ Takats LHP / 1B / Perrysburg, OH / 2023

Report: It’s impossible to predict the future but when gathering information some prospects crystal ball indicates a very bright future, which is the case with TJ Takats (Perrysburg). Let me give you some context on why we think TJ has a huge upside ... 6-foot-3 two-way prospect, video jumps out at you/everything works on both sides of the ball, very good athlete (Also the Quarterback of football team), if there is a season he will be a two-way contributor on varsity as a freshman for Perrysburg. Sky's the limit here.

Jacob Tabor LHP / 1B / Olentangy Orange, OH / 2023

Report: Another uncommitted, young lefty that stood out this winter is Jacob Tabor. Tabor would have been on the varsity roster for Olentangy Orange, one of the most loaded team’s in Columbus. Leaves little left to be desired physically. Tabor is 6-foot-3, shows mobility and athleticism on the mound, and there isn’t much if anything to correct with the delivery. It’s not often you see a prospect that young, move like that. Presently will hover around 80 mph, but the radar gun will look much different by the time he graduates high school.

Colton Hartman OF / LHP / Lebanon, OH / 2023

Report: The final uncommitted southpaw that turned heads this winter is Colt Hartman (Lebanon). Fastball showed a jump up to 82 mph and like the other guys on his list he moves very well, showing signs of more in the tank. Also showed feel for two playable secondary offerings that will only get better as velo increases. Hartmann isn’t a guy to sleep on as a position player prospect either. Shows functional athleticism on both sides of the ball with 90 mph exit velocity off the bat from the left side.
