Graysen Laporte C / RHP / Bluefield High, PE / 2023A member of our inaugural PBR Atlantic team, Laporte has impressed in every element of his game. He’s short but stocky and although the distance off the bat may not jump off the charts, the contact has some life to it. The hands are quick, and he’s shown great bat to ball abilities and barrels up baseballs. Add in speed and technical tools behind the plate, and he’s a must watch moving forward. |

Mitchell Noseworthy 1B / 3B / Gonzaga , NL / 2023At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds he’s got the build to be a middle of the order type bat. He has a tall balanced stance and produces great extension through the baseball after contact. Mechanically the swing is sound, and with minor tweaks to his initial hand position, he’s likely to produce further gains. He’s had a top exit velocity of 84 mph and there is plenty of hidden untapped pop still to come. Noseworthy will be in Florida this March with our PBR Canada Spring Training to show off his recent winter development. |

Callum Thomson 3B / 1B / Montigue Regional, PA / 2025Thompson was a standout at the plate during our Maritime Games event in the fall. At 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds it was easy to forget he’s a 2025 grad. The hands are quiet, the swing is explosive and the barrel is long through the zone. He generates a ton of strength from his lower half. The exit velocity topped out at 86 mph and with the size, strength, and mechanics already in place, we can’t wait to see how it grows with added reps this spring. |
