Elliot Goldman 2B / OF / Fairview, CO / 2023The 5-foot-11, 185-pound IF/OF showed athleticism, present strength, and good actions. Defensively his feet and hands work, with playable arm strength (86 mph). Offensively, his swing is compact with simple and efficient movements. His average EV was 87 mph, with a max of 93. |
Cole Honick OF / RHP / Rocky Mountain, CO / 2024The 5-foot-11, 150-pound 2-way was intriguing when we saw him last November, and he has been putting in the work since then. He has an athletic body with some twitch and shows baseball actions. His fastball showed better, improving to 85 mph. His curveball bumped to 70-72 with 2900+ average rpm. Offensively, his max EV was 94, averaging 87 mph. He also had the top outfield velocity on the day at 89 mph.

Wrigley Cox SS / RHP / Rocky Mountain, CO / 2026The 6-foot, 155-pound 2-way showed well for a 2026 Grad. Defensively, his feet worked with solid actions. Offensively, his swing was simple and efficient, producing a max EV of 87 mph. His fastball reached 82 mph on the mound, with a feel for the curveball and change-up.

Caleb Korth 1B / LHP / Ponderosa , CO / 2026The 5-foot-10, 150-pound 2-way was 77-80 on the mound, with developing off-speed and overall command.

Clay Alarid LHP / 1B / Rocky Mountain, CO / 2024The 6-foot-3, 185-pound 2-way will be interesting to follow on the mound. The fastball sat 79-81 mph, and he threw it for strikes. He also showed feel for a curveball and change-up. Looking at the body and arm action, it is not hard to envision that there is more velocity to come. |
Kenji Bray RHP / OF / Ralston Valley, CO / 2024The 6-foot, 165-pound pitcher filled the zone with all three pitches in his bullpen. His fastball was 82-84, with feel for a curveball and change-up.
