Unsigned Seniors

McCoy Fulk SS / Noblesville, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 55 / POS: 7
+ Fulk was a huge winner from this event, showcasing a strong mix of present "gamer tendencies" along with a high-waisted, 6-foot-2 frame that brings upside. Fulk blazed a 6.79 60-yard dash to begin the day before showing off a smooth left-handed stroke that sprayed liners from gap-to-gap. He then showed as one of the top defensive infielders at the event, boasting smooth, fundamental actions with an 88 mph arm that plays across the diamond with carry. Fulk showed off his defensive abilities and bat-to-ball skills during gameplay, making several solid plays on the dirt and collecting a pair of hits. This left-handed hitting, left-side infielder shouldn't be uncommitted much longer and is one of the top infielders left on the board in Indiana's 2025 class.

Ryne Michaeloff RHP / Homestead, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 48 / POS: 19
+ Michaeloff is on a short list of "MVPitcher" from this event - easily navigating through his two innings of work with 6 strikeouts. The 6-foot-1, 185 pounder made quick work of the opposition with real feel for a quality three pitch mix that is only elevated by a deceptive, low 3/4 arm slot. There is a super low ease of operation here, allowing for an intriguing starters' upside. His fastball has worked up to 90, though sat 86-88 at this event, playing with heavy sink. The fastball sets the tunnel for two quality secondary offerings, a 75-78 mph sweeper that routinely spun north of 2500, and an upper-70s change that plays with nearly two feet of horizontal break. Michaeloff will be a solid late-addition to a recruiting class and could be an immediate impact arm at the next level.

Peyton Dickens OF / Whiteland Community High School, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 38 / POS: 11
+ Dickens owns one of the highest ceilings of any unsigned senior in Indiana's 2025 class - and showcased that throughout the day at this event. An ultra-projectable, athletic, 6-foot-6, 180 pounder - Dickens turned in an above average run time (6.91) before showing off a loose, level swing that reached a peak exit velocity of 95 mph and helped him grab three hits during gameplay, including a pair of extra base hits. Dickens' athleticism translates to the outfield where he also shows off upper-80s arm strength to round out a quality toolset. Dickens best days on the diamond are well ahead with ample room in the frame for strength gains that will only further elevate his toolset and overall abilities.

Jake Hotovec LHP / Franklin Central High School, IN / 2025+ Hotovec was a pop-up prospect at this event that walked away as one of the more intriguing uncommitted lefties left in the class. His physical, 6-foot-3, 200 pound frame jumped out during check-in and he showed some athleticism by turning in a 6.90 60-time. Hotovec made his biggest impression in his two innings on the bump, showing off a mid-80s fastball (T 87) that played with significant arm-side run. There is some deception in the way the arm works, a compact arm action that hides behind the body until late before reaching a lower 3/4 slot. While his running fastball gave hitters fits, his mid-70s slider drew uncomfortable swings-and-misses to the back-foot of righties, while freezing and getting chase versus left-handed hitters. There is plenty of rawness to the operation now, with more control than command, but this physical lefty could really tick further with proper refinements to the delivery.

Billy Chidsey 2B / Crown Point, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 100 / POS: 1
+ Chidsey quietly put together one of the more complete days of any unsigned senior. Built with strength in a 6-foot-1, 195 pound frame, Chidsey ran a 6.81 60-yard dash and then backspun firm liners throughout his batting practice round with his best ball leaving the bat at 101.5 mph. The speed/power mix creates a solid offensive profile, which he showcased during gameplay with three hits on the day. The swing works on a short, direct path with the barrel being delivered by fast hands and strong wrists. A primary 2B, Chidsey's athleticism also translates to the outfield, as well, to create a plug-and-play, bat-first profile.

Connor Osborne OF / Bloomington High School South, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 74 / POS: 16
+ Osborne brings an ultra-physical look to the left-handed batter's box with compact strength present in his 6-foot, 190 pound frame. Osborne blazed an event-best, 6.76 60-yard dash before showing pull-side strength in batting practice with a 99 mph exit velocity. The arm is an above average tool as well, up to 88 mph from the outfield. The best tool is the bat, and the swing works in a rotational fashion with the barrel coming through the hitting zone on a level plane, and his best balls struck to his pull-side. Osborne has built a reputation as a reliable in-game hitter and should be a solid addition to a recruiting class.

Dylan Hein 1B / Lake Central, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 237 / POS: 16
+ Hein showed off the biggest bat strength of any prospect at the event with multiple 100-plus exit velocities including the event-best 103.4 mph exit velocity. There is a controlled violence to the way Hein delivers the barrel, creating tons of bat speed that translates the major pull-side strength. Hein quickly showed this tool during gameplay, elevating a heater to the pull-side for towering home run during Game 1. The bat stood out most, but I was also impressed with the body comp improvements Hein has made to a more-athletic frame than we've seen of him in the past at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds.

Reed Hayes OF / RHP Canterbury Fort Wayne, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 75 / POS: 17
+ Hayes showed off his usual raw power and bat speed during batting practice, reaching an exit velocity of 100.9 mph with a violent, rotational, right-handed swing. Hayes then hopped on the mound later in the day to provide an intriguing power look, running his fastball up to 88.5 mph while mixing with a low-70s breaking ball that played with slurvey shape.

Owen Futa 3B / Saint Joseph, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 206 / POS: 13
+ Futa is an unsigned senior that brings value in a multitude of ways. A solid runner (6.82) with a level, contact-oriented swing - the athletic, 6-foot, 165 pounder boasts serious defensive versatility with the ability to play anywhere on the diamond with above average arm strength. Futa brings a well-rounded toolset to the table that only compliments his athletic frame and gamer tendencies.

Jaxtyn Alexander LHP / 1B / Crown Point High School, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 188 / POS: 19
+ Alexander is a projectable, 6-foot-3, 170 pound two-way that showed well at the State Games. Offensively, the left-handed hitter shows a whippy swing with quick bat speed and can play both the OF and 1B at an above average clip. I am fondest of Alexander on the mound, where the projectable lefty shows feel to pitch with multiple offerings. His clean arm action and balanced delivery produced a low-80s fastball that reached 84 mph, while manipulating shape on a tightly-spun breaking ball in the low-to-mid 70's.

Luke Greene LHP / RONCALLI HIGH SCHOOL, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 136 / POS: 14
+ Greene brought a unique look to the mound with a near sidearm slot that provides all-kinds of deception. The 6-foot-3, 185 pounder pitched at 80-83 with tons of arm-side run, and tunneled both a low-70s change and sweeper off the fastball. Greene creates a real tough look for left-handed hitters, while he showed the ability to pitch to both sides of the plate to keep righties off balance.

Hayden May LHP / Triton Central, IN / 2025Rankings StateRank: 177 / POS: 18
+ May was an interesting watch on the bump, showing athleticism in his lanky, 6-foot-2, 160 pound frame to go along with a quality four pitch mix. His fastball played with carry, averaging 17" of IVB, at 81-84 mph. His best secondary was an 11/5 shaped curveball in the upper-60's, a pitch that played well off his fastball. May also showed a low-70s slider with more horizontal break, and a mid-70s change that was well-located to the arm-side.
