Nevada Top Uncommitted Spotlight: RHP/INF Joseph Ponticello

August 26, 2024

The summer schedule has come to a close as students have now returned to school with some fall action on the horizon as August slowly comes to a close. It was another busy summer with a pair of Top Prospect Games (Las Vegas and Reno), along with the ProCase in Southern California, the Las Vegas Summer ID and our trio of team's at LakePoint in late July for the Future Games, Senior Future Games (West) and Junior Future Games (Nevada/Hawaii).

While there was a ton of action taking place on the field, there was also a slew of news away from the field with incoming seniors beginning to fly off the board, along with the 2026 class becoming eligible to communicate with college coaches on August 1st. While we've seen several big names off the board recently, there's still plenty of high-level uncommitted talent on the board in Nevada and we begin to breakdown those players below as we bring back our Nevada Top Uncommitted series.

Our first Top Uncommitted breakdown comes from Las Vegas HS in two-way talent Joseph Ponticello who ran his fastball up to 88.8mph at the Las Vegas Preseason ID with a high-spin mix.
