The Top 100

Blake is the most unique prospect we've seen in a long time - maybe ever. It is tough to think of another player who could potentially be a first round pick at three different positions - C, RHP, SS. His skill set is outstanding with loud tools to go along with the ability to use them. Blake is also a leader and competitor which is proven in the way that it seems every team he is on wins - including last year's Texas State Championship team at Sinton HS. At the Baseball Factory All-America Game Blake took home MVP honors after going 3-4 with 5 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and a runner thrown out trying to steal on him. Despite the high-level versatility, it appears that Blake's best fit is behind the plate. He handles the defensive duties with ease thanks to athleticism, good hands, feel for the game and big arm strength. As a hitter, his LH bat profiles great at the position, and he has a strong, accurate swing that utilizes the whole field with present HR power. He is unfazed by velocity and appears to see and react well to spin. Overall, with a run-producing bat at the premium position of catcher, the case can be made that Blake is the top player in the entire 2023 class.

One of the top prospects in the entire country, Walker combines athleticism, a strong frame and left-handed power to build a profile as a middle-of-the-order run producer at the next level.

Aidan is one of the top players in the country with a swing that has produced at every level. He has excellent natural feel to hit with rhythm in his trigger mechanism that gets him ready to hit on time consistently. The hand movement in the trigger flows nicely into attack and helps him generate outstanding bat speed leading to loud contact (105 mph exit velocity). His timing and bat speed lead to present power with potentially more still in the tank, but he does not sacrifice any of his hitability to get that power. With good bloodlines and a high baseball IQ Aidan is a polished hitter with an advanced approach. Defensively Aidan possesses the feet, hands and arm to play anywhere on the dirt (and even the corner OF spots) though he looks to profile best at 3B. He gets good reads off the bat, has a very quick exchange and a good internal clock that allow him to be extremely reliable in the infield. Overall, this is a complete prospect who should go off the board early in this year's MLB Draft.

He worked out at SS and showed natural actions, sure hands and a strong, accurate arm, and then flashed the same skills at 3B in the game and used his athleticism to patrol the OF as well. Overall, this young player is a winner with an impact bat who should hear his name called very early in this year's draft.

Kevin can flat-out hit. Some guys just have a natural ability to square up balls when it matters - in games - and he has it. After taking his usual impressive, and professional, batting practice on the workout day, he went 1-3 with a triple during the Baseball Factory All-American Game. Kevin spent the summer taking quality at bats against the best arms in the class, and continually hit balls hard to all parts of the park. He just seems to see the ball and react to it better than others. Combine that with excellent balance, rhythm, and a short quick stroke, and you have perhaps the best pure hitter in the 2023 class. Kevin also has clean actions and sure hands in the IF allowing him to play multiple spots well. Add in outstanding makeup and you have one of the top prospects in the country.

Noble Meyer has electric stuff and has established himself as potentially the best high school pitcher in the 2023 class. He has an ultra-quick arm that leads to easy mid-90s velocity. He buckles hitters' knees and gets a lot of swing-and-miss from his tight breaking ball with depth and big spin rates. Noble also has feel for a change giving him the full repertoire you look for in a starting pitching prospect. A track record of success and his premium stuff should have Noble's name called in the 1st round of this year's draft.

With an advanced 3-pitch mix, athleticism, and a clean, quick arm, Charlee has put himself into the conversation of top RHPs in the country. At the Baseball Factory All-America Game Charlee showcased his electric stuff starting with a mid-90s fastball that was heavy and had good carry through the zone. He has a ton of confidence in his change that is thrown with fastball arm speed and has late sink. It is that rare changeup that often elicits a swing-and-miss from hitters.

Adrian plays with confidence and life in his body and is both reliable on the routine play and capable of making highlight reel plays as well. At the plate his short, quick stroke works from both sides of the plate. His feel for the barrel and strike zone judgement are both advanced, and the ball comes off his barrel with authority from both sides of the plate. A plus runner who still has projectability in the frame, expect Adrian to be a player whose stock rises throughout the spring.

His left-handed stroke flashed easy power in the workout and he had quality game at bats that included a hit and RBI. While he may ultimately end up at 3B, Eric has the ability to play multiple positions well, and he showed good feet, agility and body control throughout the Baseball Factory All-America Game workouts and game. One of the youngest players in the class, it is easy to envision him hitting in the middle of the order at the highest level down the road.

Overall, it is easy to see George as a run-producing bat at the next level who makes guys around him better, and wins.

Cameron is a physical, intimidating presence on the mound with the stuff to match. He throws a heavy fastball from a 3/4 slot that has arm side run and sink in the mid-90s. The pitch is effective enough that he could roll through most high school lineups throwing only that. He does complement it, however, with a slider that has late break to it and a change that he uses sparingly. Cameron's durable frame, 3-pitch mix and history of success point to a starter at the next level, and they make him one of the top LHPs in the entire class.

Travis started on the mound at the Baseball Factory All-America Game and showed why many consider him the top RHP in the 2023 HS class. He is an intimidating presence on the mound at 6'6"/220 and his 99 mph fastball explodes on hitters and tied the record for hardest pitch we have ever recorded in the history of the All-America Game. He actually hides the ball some too, so that FB really jumps on hitters for a number of reasons. Travis works at a great pace on the mound and he attacks hitters confidently with the heater. He does complement that with a good slider (that he sometimes adds velocity to making it more of a cutter) and a very good changeup that offers a good differential in the low to mid-80s.

The loud arsenal, ease with which he did it and high volume of strikes in Kansas City put Adam in the conversation as the top LHP in the 2023 class.

Chance has everything you look for in a starting pitching prospect. He has an athletic and projectable 6'5"/180-pound frame, a clean/quick arm, and a quality 3-pitch arsenal that he fills up the strike zone with consistently. At the Baseball Factory All-America Game, he threw two scoreless innings while mixing his stuff well, led by his low 90s fastball that showed life through the zone. Despite the long levers, Chance repeats his delivery very well and the ball jumps out of his hand. To complement the FB, Chance mixed in a slider that has 2-plane break with good spin and tilt and a change with late tail and sink that he has confidence to throw at any time. All the pieces are in place here, as it is easy to envision the velocity ticking up as the off-speed stuff becomes even more effective. There is a good chance that we look back in a few years and see that Chance proved to be the best arm in the entire 2023 class.

Bryce is one of the top 2-way performers in the country, and he showed why at the Baseball Factory All-America Game, His BP was loud, with easy LH loft power on display throughout his rounds.

Raffaele currently is a primary catcher who is solid behing the plate, though he may ultimately profile best at 1B

Zander has an electric fastball coming from a difficult low 3/4 slot. The combination of velocity that gets into the mid-90s and big, heavy run make this pitch very difficult for hitters to square up. Zander's arm stroke is long and flowing generating good arm speed for release. He can add and subtract to his slider at times, but when he goes to put a hitter away he throws it in the low 80s with substantial horizontal break to it.

He should have a big spring.

Mikhai has electric stuff and an athletic 6'3"/210-pound frame. He uses a simple, repeatable deliver and a short "bow and arrow" arm action to deliver fastballs up to 95 mph that get on hitters in a hurry. The arm stroke and explosion out of the hand make this one of the more dynamic fastballs in the class. He pairs it with a slider that has 3/4 tilt and good depth, thrown in the 80-82 mph range.
