Roster

On deck preview

Austen Frye RHP / C / Downingtown West, PA / 2025 Rankings  StateRank: 41 / POS: 7 What to Expect: Long levers and a full arm-action with higher spin across the arsenal. Tacked on useful velocity in the offseason, which should catapult him into the mid-to-upper 80's & to the forefront of 'pens to watch at ID: East. What We'd Like to See: There's still room to get on top of the curveball, allowing for more down action and consistent shape, though he commands it well.  Video: 6/7/22, Summer Open: East

Owen Rozzi 3B / 1B / West Chester East, PA / 2026 What to Expect: Early acceleration off the backside with ability to extend on the ball at the front of the plate. Delivered a mature, pull-side approach during BP and worked up above 300 feet (308 ft. peak). What We'd Like to See: Spraying contact more gap-to-gap will bring a balance to his approach and heighten exit velocities, as he stays better through impact. Video: 6/21/22, Jr. PA State Games

Aaron Smearman RHP / OF / Altoona Area , PA / 2025 Rankings  StateRank: 40 / POS: 6 What to Expect: Wiry, twitchy two-way skillset with a live FB and spin rates pushing 2700 rpms. Likes to attack up in the zone M80's and pitch off of it to the bottom. Curveball has a real chance to be a wipeout offering, creating hard east/west bite. Competes. What We'd Like to See: More repeatability to the arm-side. There were some timing inconsistencies last look, which effected zone rates on a few pitches. The "stuff" is off the charts.
