It is with great excitement that we release to you today, our complete update to the VA/DC Class of 2025 rankings with our Top 200 release. Following today's Top 200 release, we will release a 50 To Follow list on Friday. Throughout this week we have highlighted new faces, risers, and players whose stock has taken a jump in the past few months.
Now today we turn our attention to the newly expanded Top 200, including players ranked 51-60 in the list below. To go along with those ten players, we would like to highlight a few players included in the full Top 200.
JMU commit Ryan Gocio (Ocean Lakes) makes a climb from just outside the Top 100, into the Top 75. Left handed hitting catcher with a quick bat, some adjustability, and has shown solid feel for the barrel. Put together some quality at bats at 17U National Championship, producing barrels that he sprayed around the field.
#GoDukes commit ‘25 Ryan Gocio (@OLVBaseball l @tidewtrphillies) does a nice job on this 2K breaking ball.

Also moving up inside of the Top 75 is Patriot shortstop, Dominic Tilden. Long and lanky 6-foot-2 frame. Advanced arm strength across the infield, average to slightly above average run tool, and solid actions in the infield. High set hands with some line drive tendencies and more power potential in the frame as he continues to get stronger.

On the barrel here late in the game, lankier frame projection left, quick bat with some natural loft and gap power present, more to come#PBRIsThere @PBRVirginiaDC pic.twitter.com/0NnT5WwRrE
One new face that makes his way into the Top 100 is St. John's College infielder, Gavin Weber. Compact frame, no huge tools that jump off the screen, but just gets it done. Average runner that plays quicker in game, high motor, solid defender with probably more second base profile. Contact bat, ability to hit for high average, and sprays it around the field. The approach adjusts to counts and Weber stays short to contact with solid feel for the barrel. Smaller sample size in 2023 for the top ranked Cadets, but took advantage of the time he earned, hitting .500 for the season.

The rising junior has impressed in both ABs, this time ripping a single down the left field line. PS tendencies off the bat.#PBRMAPI pic.twitter.com/FqeV5AZyiB
