Benjamin Beauchamp C / OF / McQuaid Jesuit, NY / 2019Rankings StateRank: 48 / POS: 7
Great athlete with high-end offensive capabilities. Can pound the pull side gap and be an overall tough out. Arm strength and footwork are solid behind the plate; also very comfortable in the outfield.

First Base

6-foot-1 195 pound L/L who is an active defender around the bag. Aggressive, attack mode at the plate with middle of the field line drive results. Will work in the 80-82 range on the mound; arm-side run to FB with late fading change up.

Noah Campanelli SS / 2B / McQuaid Jesuit, NY / 2019Rankings StateRank: 15 / POS: 4
High end defender with plus+ lateral range; can make the play on the move and throw from multiple angles. Arm strength (89 MPH) and foot speed (6.93) both made significant jumps over the winter. Clean stroke into the zone with an elevated 2-hand finish.
|
 |
Casey Saucke II SS / RHP / Greece Athena, NY / 2021Highly athletic 2021 grad who projects as a legitimate dual position prospect. Runs a 6.98 60 and shows a strong left side arm (88 MPH). Open setup at the plate with a toe-tap; quick hands middle in. On the mound he'll work in the mid 80's with an above average change up.

 |
Santino Rosso SS / 2B / Victor , NY / 2019Rankings StateRank: 28 / POS: 8
High energy, fast twitch player with some zone acceleration at the plate (switch hitter). Soft actions with the glove, stays active with footwork. Clean release and easy arm that has room for more.
|
Third Base
 |
Gage Ziehl 3B / RHP / Penfield, NY / 2021Burst onto the scene last summer and upped the ante this winter on the mound. Offensive player at 3B; open stance with consistent hard contact. Easy left side arm from 3B. On the mound Ziehl is a bulldog with above average velocity for his grad year in the mid 80's, touching 87 MPH in February. Easy repeatable deliver, gets over front side.
|
 |
Ryan O'Mara RHP / 3B / McQuaid Jesuit, NY / 2019Rankings StateRank: 110 / POS: 28
Physical 6-foot-4 210 pound frame; stays in the zone forever with power potential. Looking forward to seeing how he has progressed at 3B. Will also see time on the mound where his ceiling is through the roof.
|
 |
Daniel Tirabassi 3B / 2B / Rush-Henrietta, NY / 2020Rankings StateRank: 115 / POS: 9
Quick whip like action through the zone with the hands; line drive approach. Hands work out in front, soft through the ball. 2B/3B projection.

Outfielders
 |
Danny Stapleton RHP / OF / Penfield, NY / 2020Rankings StateRank: 79 / POS: 25
Lean, wiry frame with some bat whip through the zone. Low slot RHP with some arm side life to the FB at 77-78 MPH back in February. Breaking ball more slurve like; some feel for change up.

Well built LHP from the Greater Buffalo area. Up to 82 with the fastball back in Feb with signs of a two-plane changeup. Excited to see him compete at the NYS Games.

Wiry, lean and athletic lefty from the greater Buffalo area. This past Feb. he was 78-80 with the Fastball with no restrictions in the arm, high ceiling from the 2020 graduate. Wouldn't be shocked to see him in the low 80's during the NYS Games.
