The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we have started the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are stellar performers from our 2023 NorCal Uncommitted Games. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on a NorCal '25 3B John Bullock from Vintage High School. With an strongly built frame at 5'10 190 lbs Bullock shows an interesting LH hitting offensive profile and had solid performances at the NorCal Uncommitted Games and the NorCal Preseason All-State event.  His swing from the LH side shows solid metrically with both quickness in his hand path (22.2 MPH hand speed) and bat path (73.7 MPH bat speed) while adding in a quality turn with his lower half that produces 14.1 G's of rotational acceleration. The combination of his swing metrics with a feel for rhythm/timing during his workouts at Prep Baseball California events has allowed Bullock to flash an intriguing middle to pull side approach that consistently generates hard contact (70% sweet spot rate with a 90.5 MPH average exit velocity) and on the upper end can flash pull side HR power potential as he maxes out with a 94.6 MPH exit velocity and has shown 358' batted ball distance with room to continue adding impact over the coming year ahead of graduating high school. His actions are solid at 3B with fringey present arm strength that he can add to going forward to stick at 3B, but his LH bat can handle a move to 1B or LF in the future defensively which looks more likely than an up the middle move to 2B based on present athleticism. His solid offensive ability that shows a middle of the order potential with depth to back end of a lineup floor with a potential to stay a corner INF defener Bullock is a name to follow out of the '25 class for college programs who has a chance to raise his profile over the summer/fall headed into his SR. season.
