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 pulled directly from our '25 Class Rankings. 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 SoCal '25 3B/OF Dominic Cadiz from Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) High School. Cadiz is a wiry strong 6' 178 lbs 3B/Corner OF defender who has shown both strength in his swing in Prep Baseball California events, but additionally this spring for the Knights of Notre Dame High School. Cadiz showed off his potential in the RH batters box durng the 2023 State Games ID: OC event with an impactful swing that flashed solid raw power reaching 92.9 MPH on his max exit velocity while consistently barreling baseballs with authority (86.5 MPH average exit velocity) and flashing good carry to the pull side with a 357' max distance for our staff. He has translated that performance into a solid spring season for Notre Dame where he is hitting .337 on the spring with 11 doubles, 4 HRs, driving in 23 runs which each lead the Knights offensive output and has put up a team leading 1.047 OPS this spring that also leads the Knights. He is a solid mover at 3B who shows solid hands/feet with enough athleticism to play LF in the future and his performance is showing his bat can handle a move to 1B potentially. There is still game polish on defense that is needed for Cadiz but with his toolset/performance in the batters box, room to continue adding physicality and strength to his frame Cadiz is a name that college coaches need to be paying close attention in the '25 class as an impact piece for their lineups no matter which position he winds up at.
