As we approach the spring season, we would like to highlight some uncommitted players from across the state that you should get out and see this spring.
As good as the 2023 class is, the 2025 class, in the long term, may be the best class in the state in terms of depth of talent. While there are already a fair share of committed 2025's in Virginia, there are plenty of talented uncommitted players left. Some of those players made the RVA N2K list.

Carter Mitchell was an intriguing follow last spring as a 2024 and then after the high school season reclassed to a 2025, which made it even more intriguing. He showcased his in game power in front of our staff last spring and put on an absolute show in the Underclass State Games. Mitchell has a big physical frame and is a solid athlete for his size. Middle of the order power and has some potential on the mound as well. It will be interesting to see how much he contributes on the mound for the Cougars, but regardless, he will be a definite must see for Collegiate this spring.

TJ Woodson is the best uncommitted infielder in the state, and quite possibly the best uncommitted defender in the state, regardless of class. Makes plays on the run, enough arm, accurate from all angles, and the bat continues to grow. High IQ type of player and will be a must see for the Hawks this spring.

Having seen Kaleb Smith only once, I am in on that one look. Low 80's left hander late in the fall and it would not surprise me at all if he was a 83-85 guy this spring bumping a 86. Short funky arm action from the left side and really showed the ability to spin it. He threw strikes with multiple pitches and got swings and misses in the zone. The Mechanicsville left hander has quickly become a hot topic name and should be a close follow this spring.

Brady Paul is yet another standout uncommitted player for the Midlothian Trojans. I got a chance to see Midlo three or so times last year, and it seems like every time I saw them the freshman was coming up with a big hit. Left handed hitter with some feel for the barrel and doesn't seem to be afraid of the moment.

Bryce Neely has some loud tools that he puts on display, especially in the box. Lean strength and does not get cheated in the box. Sub-seven runner, power potential in the swing, and long term corner outfield/third base profile. The ball comes off different to the pull side. Neely could be a headline bat for St. Christopher's this spring.
