Featuring players that can slot into the middle of the lineup, gold glove-like talent, super utility fielders and more. Read more on who is up for grabs to move on to the collegiate level.

See the previous article on pitchers and two-way prospects.


No. 171 Ty Thompson, SS (TNXL Academy, FL): Projected to stay on the left side of the infield long-term, showing off an advanced glove and feel for the position. Offensively, the fluid swing from the right side mixed with speed and the ability to line the ball to all fields sets him up to be a dangerous lead-off bat. 

No. 408 Cameron Uzzillia, 1B (Calvary Christian HS, FL): A power bat, Uzzillia is a 2020 Junior Future Games alum who led East Cobb Baseball’s Astros 18u squad to a Prep Baseball Championship at LakePoint Sports. Ending the event hitting an even .500 and punishing pitches with several 100+ mph exit velocities, he showed discipline at the plate as well with five walks. 

No. 379 Ryland Duson, MIF (Vista Murietta, CA): A 2022 Future Gamer, Duson can comfortably play both positions up the middle with a strong arm and solid movements. With a max exit velocity of 94.7 mph, he consistently finds gaps through the field for base hits with a quick bat that topped at 84.2 mph. 

Carter Johnson, 1B/OF (Wheaton North, IL): Tied for first amongst Prep Baseball Illinois showcases with a perfect hard-hit percentage in 2024, he brings a mix of power and speed as a first baseman with a sub seven second 60 time. Turning heads at Illinois’ State Games, Johnson deposited a two-run homer the other way in-game. 

Trey Hicklin, 1B (Urbandale HS, IA): With a larger build, Hicklin is able to use all 6-foot-3 230 pounds of his frame to generate consistent power with a rounded out hit tool as a top leader at the Prep Baseball Iowa State Games in exit velocity and hard-hit percentage. Playing the position well as he shows awareness for the bag, using soft hands to ensure control over the ball when fielding. 

Lucas Gardner, CIF (Century HS, OR): A quick swing that’s highlighted by bat speeds of 80+ mph, Gardner led Prep Baseball Oregon’s Holiday Hitters Portland event in max exit velocity (96.4 mph), average exit velocity (90.1 mph), average hand speed (23.6 mph) and average bat speed (73.9 mph). 

Karim Patterson, 1B/OF (Latin School of Chicago, IL): Since his first Prep Baseball event in 2022, Patterson has continued to improve and develop with more to come as a bat that combines his size and bat-to-ball skills for loud barrels. Showing easy pull-side power, the arm is just as fast as his exit velocities, seeing throws touch just below 90 mph from the field at Illinois’ Preseason All-State event. 

Kash Wieger, 3B (Arbor View HS, NV): Coming off of an impressive summer season, Prep Baseball Nevada’s No. 30 prospect in the class has shown his tools improve as he grows in size. At the Las Vegas Summer ID event, he maxed at a 99.7 mph exit velocity and saw his farthest hit ball in BP travel 347 ft. 

Dallas Brooks, C (John Carroll School, MD): Maryland/Delaware’s No. 1 catching prospect in the class, Brooks was the standout bat in the state’s Winter Update event. Finishing at the top in max exit velocity (98.9 mph) and average exit velocity (90.7 mph), his top-five bat (T80.1 mph) and hand speed (T21.4 mph) helps create his power from the left side that has seen loud contact at the Mid-Atlantic Open, Mid-Atlantic Program Invite and more tournaments and games.

Kason Siguenza, IF (Langley Blaze, BC): A Senior Future Gamer, Siguenza displayed an ability to hit the ball all over the field with overall strong bat-to-ball skills. While he may be considered undersized at 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, he still generates loud contact with exit velocities in the low 90s. Defensively, he shows range with soft hands to make challenging plays up the middle at short and second base.

Nicholas Nashiwa, C/UTL (Maui HS, HI): Hawaii’s No. 1 uncommitted prospect in the class, Nashiwa has been regarded as a super utility fielder that can be a next-level starter in any position. He features a quick pop time from behind the dish, moves well in the infield with the ability to handle tough hops and picks with ease as well as range and strong arm that plays from anywhere. At the plate Nashiwa is proven to be a tough out as he consistently generates quality contact to all parts of the field with an average exit velocity of 90.3 mph.
