Over the next few weeks, we will highlight some of the best players by position in their specific area. The categories are as follows: Catchers, Pitchers, Infielders, Outfielders, Hitters, and Uncommitted Players. The goal is to highlight some of the top talent in a particular area. While doing that, it was the goal of our staff to place players in the most appropriate category according to their strengths. We also made a concerted effort to not place an individual in multiple categories, unless we felt necessary.

Need To Know: West Catchers

Brooks Bowman C / OF / Turner Ashby, VA / 2026

Exciting first look at ‘26 Brooks Bowman (Turner Ashby) last night (credit to @_jaaaayyyyy_ for the find).

Lean strength to frame. Had a LD 1B in 1st AB. Accurate arm, solid arm strength for class, flexible & solid receiver. Stock ⬆️

Sy Crider C / 3B / BROADWAY HIGH, VA / 2025

‘25 Josiah Crider #HailWV commit (@BwayBaseballVA)

Crider stays aggressive and sends a 🚀 backside for a stand up double to lead off the top of the third.

Uses the whole field with strength gap to gap. @PrepBaseballVA @ksallday19 #BeSeen pic.twitter.com/9lVo6xCoZp

Drew Lucy C / Miller School of Albemarle, VA / 2025

The receiving & catch & throw from ‘25 Drew Lucy (@MSA_baseball) was impressive yesterday. Above avg receiver, beat it to the spot, relaxed, and turns some borderline ones into K’s. Very active thrower & accurate. 1.96 back pick 🎥@UCWV_Baseball commit@PrepBaseballVA #BeSeen pic.twitter.com/t7W8Cp4MJq
