Rankings Update: Class of 2023

Josh Knoth RHP / OF / Patchogue Medford, NY / 2023

Electric, high spin stuff; Advanced spin and movement on the breaking balls that he can land for strikes and will generate plenty of swing and misses out of the zone. College of Charleston commit

‘23 Josh Knoth (NY) comes out pumping ?94-95? in the 1st & ripping off 81-82 SLV w/ up to 3180 rpm.

Adam Agresti C / 1B / Kennedy Catholic, NY / 2023

The physical backstop continues to be a threat on both sides of the ball through the summer. Developing into a bonafide power bat accompanied by an above average arm behind the plate. St. John's Commit

Samuel Stafura SS / 2B / Walter Panas, NY / 2023

Toolsy middle infielder with twitch and strength in the actions. 6.55 laser timed 60 this preseason; glides around the infield with plenty of arm strength and ability to make all the plays. Clemson Commit

Kevin Francella SS / 2B / Rye Country Day, NY / 2023

Big time power potential at the next level with elite bat speed and rotational quickness. Quality glove with the arm strength to handle the left side of the infield. William & Mary Commit

Dominick Carbone OF / LHP / Rocky Point, NY / 2023

Electric 2-way prospect in a 6-foot-1, 175 lb athletic frame. 6.66 60 this preseason with a repeatable stroke that generates high end bat speed and pop at the plate. Has a power arm that was up to 94 from the outfield while sitting 88-89 with a heavy, arm side run fastball in a early preseason pen. Coastal Carolina Commit

Jackson DiLorenzo RHP / 3B / Walter Panas, NY / 2023

Power righty with a durable 6-foot, 215 lb frame. Attacks with a heavy FB up to 89 MPH that can also ride up in the zone. Was dominant this past spring with a .90 ERA through 39 innings allowing only 10 BB. East Carolina Commit

Chris Diaz OF / LHP / Millbrook Prep, NY / 2023

Athletic 2-way prospect; fluid lefty swing with plus bat speed. On the mound runs a high spin fastball into the mid 80's with a plus curveball to counter. Tulane Commit 

Jason Rodriguez C / 3B / Valhalla, NY / 2023

Future Game Alum. High level mover with plus catch & throw abilities. The swing plays with quick hands and an explosive lower half. Niagara County CC Commit 

Giovanni Conte RHP / Colonie Central, NY / 2023

FB is electric out of the hand; comes from multiple slot with plus movement up in the zone ( 20"IVB ) and running arm side ( 20" horizontal )

‘23 RHP Giovanni Conte (Colonie Central, NY, @UConnBSB) mixed and matched slots, dropping down from H 3/4 to more sidearm at times. Tons of life at 87-89 mph, easy 90’s arm in the future. Three-pitch mix that creates deception. @PBRNewYork @NEPridebaseball pic.twitter.com/tDuiheD6Hv
