Kameron Fiorani
(‘27, NJ) • SS • Uncommitted • 5’10 170lb
Fiorani had a great opposite field approach in his first AB for a 1B, then took a BB and stole 2B, and was later HBP. Compact and athletic - stays connected w/ a strong backside which produces consistent line drive contact. Polished defender in the field w/ good range and nimble footwork - cuts off angles and has + carry on his throws. Made tough throws from many arm angles and made a plethora of + plays that should have been hits. Keep an eye out on this young projectable talent.

Luke Melton
(‘26, NJ) • OF, LHP • Uncommitted • 6’3 190lb
The 2-way athlete had one of the best hitting performances of the day today. His strong lower half played a big part in going yard in the first AB of the game over the RF wall. Later in the game, he sent a FB to the CF fence for a stand-up 2B, and then on the next pitch, he swiped a bag. Later, he got a single and then swiped another bag, just adding on to his impressive day. Great day for the 2026 grad as he continues to impress as he goes on into his senior season.
3-3 HR, 2B, 2 SB
