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/2B Jack Laffitte from Harvard Westlake High School. Laffitte attended the 2023 Future Games Tryout in So Cal in front of Prep Baseball California staff and has been seen numerous times over the past 4 months in live game action by our staff and the development to his frame/ability has the arrow pointed up on this '25 INF. Stands 6'2 185 lbs with some present strength across his frame while showing room to add more strength/explosiveness as he continues to mature. The arm strength has improved from the 81 MPH he showed at the Future Game Tryout in his live looks which plays well at 3B with the actions in his footwork/hands that show impact defensive potential at 3B going forward. The RH hitter has an aggressive swing with quickness in his hands and turn while being able to generate leverage in his path. Laffitte found the barrel consistently to produce an average exit velocity at 90.4 MPH with a peak at 92.7 on the maximum which plays to his middle/pull side approach with doubles power through the middle of the field and the ability to flash HR power to the pull side. Laffitte has shown the ability to work quality at bats with feel for situational hitting in our live looks at him while playing the high quality defense that his tool set shows. Playing for a national power program Laffitte has been tested against strong competition consistently and should be one that college programs are paying attention to for their left side of the infield needs in the '25 class.
