Conlan Taylor RHP / 3B / Owego Free Academy , NY / 2025

2025 RHP/3B Conlan Taylor (Owego Free Academy)

Since the last time we saw him just 4 months ago, he’s lowered his arm slot from over the top to a low 3/4 and added an additional 10mph in FB velo. Tons of elasticity in the arm.

Peyton Brzozowy LHP / OF / Johnson City , NY / 2024

The southpaw emerged at #IDCentral with a feel for three pitches and strike-throwing arsenal. Strong, durable 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame that found velocity in the legs. Created big horizontal movement on a low-80s FB, T84MPH and expanded the zone with a hard-sweeping 67-70MPH CB at 2400+rpms. Really maintained control of east-to-west with balanced finish; more to come.

Anthony Sampo C / OF / Westhill, NY / 2025

The primary backstop impressed using a long, lean 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame to produce one of the day's top catcher arms from the crouch (80MPH). Offensively, it's a simple setup with natural repeat through a flat path. Worked up to a well-controlled 84MPH exit velocity and added 306FT batted ball distance. Starting to develop an extra-base hit approach with some leverage. 

Jack Ludlow RHP / SS / Thousand Islands, NY / 2024

2024 RHP/SS Jack Ludlow (Thousand Islands)

5-11, 190lb frame. High spin FB played well up in the zone. Shows positive progression here, FB velocity upped ⬆️ 5mph from Feb 2022 when topping at 80. High IVB curveball.

FB: 83-85
