AJ Ewing, SS, Springboro (OH), 2023
Wright State commit. 6-foot, 172-pound left-handed hitting shortstop, strong, athletic frame. Really stood out offensively, leading US Elite to the title at the Underclass Fall World Series. Confident in the box, nothing appears to faze him. Swing is violent, looks to do damage every time he steps to the plate. Barrel path varies between level and uphill through the zone, in favorable counts will look to elevate with force, when he has to, will shorten up and use a line drive approach middle/pull. Athletic hands and strength throughout frame produce present bat speed and more is on the way as he continues to develop.

Will Moore, RHP, Ladue Horton Watkins (MO), 2023
6-foot-2, 185-pound right-handed pitcher, strong, projectable frame, much more strength on the way as he continues to physically mature. Took some time to settle into his start, but once he did, generated weak contact and swing and miss with his fastball/curveball. Arm works short with a soft stab on the back-side, keeps arm moving continuously on back-side to a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 82-85, touched 86. Curveball, 11/5 depth, some bite when he located low in the zone, 69-73.
