Sebastian Blanco (‘28, FL) • LHP • 6’1” 173
Tall and strong LHP looked impressive on Friday, pitching a CG, struck out 5 and only walked 1. He carved through the opposing lineup with a FB-CH combo. The FB had ride up in the zone and got on hitters quick. The CB had 2-plane break and was Blanco’s go to when he needs a K. Blanco is an intimidating presence on the mound, standing tall, using a high leg kick and coiling inward before releasing the pitch. This allows him to hide the ball well from hitters. Blanco has a projectable frame and good potential as a starting pitcher.

Frankie Rodriguez(‘26,Fl) • RHP • 5’9” 150 lbs
Frankie impressed in his late-game relief appearance, working efficiently with a simplified two-pitch mix and clean mechanics. His compact arm action and consistent release allow him to pound the zone and work with tempo.He showed a strong feel for a FB that topped 86 mph, using it to attack any type of counts and elevate with life late. The SL topped 77 mph was his go-to secondary, a tight-spinning offering with late horizontal movement that generated multiple whiffs and kept hitters off balance. He worked a quick 1 IP with 2 Ks and no walks, showcasing maturity in the role and the ability to execute in end of game situations.

Oscar Cruz Cartaya (‘29,FL) • RHP • 5’10” 160 lbs
Cruz turned in a strong outing, working 5 innings while allowing just 3 hits and 2 earned runs, striking out 6 along the way. He kept hitters off balance with a compact, clean delivery and a mature approach to mixing pitches. With a slight leg kick and fluid arm action, Cartaya maintained composure and repeated his mechanics well. His FB topped 79 mph and featured a late cut, making it tough to square. The CB sat at 65 mph offered ride and depth, serving as a go-to pitch in any count. Oscar showed the confidence to flip it in early and expand late, missing barrels and limiting damage. His frame and arm action suggest there's more velocity and power coming as he physically matures.

Madden Perez
(‘29, FL) • 3B • 5’8 150 lbs
Perez continues to flash a mature offensive skill set for his age, highlighted by a solo HR to LF off FB. His swing works from a front-loaded basee, allowing his lower half to stay engaged and balanced through contact. With quick wrists and high hands, Madden creates solid extension and consistently finds the barrel—especially versus velocity. His ability to stay inside the ball and attack early mistakes shows both strength and approach maturity. As the frame fills out, his bat-to-ball ability and power potential make him a high-upside bat in the ‘29 class.

Yosueth Henriquez
('28, FL) • C/SS • 5'7 155Lbs
Henriquez was a standalone guy in Today's game. He showed a lot of confidence on the field and had a swing to back it up. Made solid contacts every ABs and crushed a line drive to CF later in the game. Henriquez made his presence known behind home plate early by throwing out a baserunning on a steal attempt. Kept the runners in check all game after that with a quick transfer and strong arm.

Kaden Maharaj (’30,FL) • RHP/MIF • 5’2” 97 lbs
Maharaj turned in an efficient outing, tossing 3 innings while allowing just 2 hits, 1 earned run, no walks, and striking out 4. Despite his smaller frame, he maximizes his size through clean mechanics and repeatable motion. His FB sat consistently 72 mph working inside on RHH, generating weak contact. His CB sat 60 mph plays well off his FB, flashing sharp down action that he effectively uses as a punchout pitch. With good feel for both pitches and a mature mound presence, he continues to show strong potential as he develops.

Fabian Prado (’30,FL) • 5’6” • 140 lbs
Prado stood out with his approach and barrel control, delivering a RBI single to LF off FB. Right-handed hitter shows a natural ability to stay inside the ball with hand speed and control, producing clean contact. His bat stays level through the zone, and he flashes impressive zone discipline for his age. Fabian’s physical build is already athletic, with room to fill out as he matures. His contact-oriented approach gives him strong foundational traits to project toward future offensive consistency. Expect the power to tick up as well as he continues to develop.

Owen Taylor
(‘29, NY) • RHP/OF • Uncommitted • 5’6 160lbs
Taylor, an athletic righty, came onto the mound with a solid presence and ability to get out of tough innings, grinding through at-bats. He has a loose, athletic delivery with a clean tempo throughout. He works from a whippy OT arm action, with late life on his FB. His body stays in line with a simple, yet effective, delivery and includes smooth downhill action. There’s some natural arm side run on his fastball, and he gets ahead hitters with it.

Anthony Lopez (‘30, FL) • C • Uncommitted • 5’8
Lopez, a strong RHH catcher displayed gritty at-bats with loud pop in his swing. He starts in a relaxed, slightly open stance and stays balanced throughout the swing. Uses a small, smooth leg lift to gather before getting into a coiled position, letting the hands stay back and work from a strong position. The swing is short and connected, with the barrel working tight to the body and staying through the zone. Keeps his head down at contact and drives it clean with a slight uppercut in swing. Lopez replays an efficient move that looks easy to repeat for him. Behind the plate he does his job and acts like a wall, with good blocking skills. It’ll be awesome to see how he matures.

RHP Gavin Russel, had an amazing performance against Los Explorers.

Julian Ledo (’30,FL) • 1B •5’9” 150 lbs
Ledo delivered at the plate with a 2 RBI 1B to RF, showing his ability to stay on pitches and drive them. The corner infielder uses a front-load stance paired with a toe-tap trigger, which creates a smooth and connected swing path. He stays balanced through contact, and his quick hands produce clean barrel accuracy and line-drive contact. With a physical build, Ledo’s swing shows signs of gap-to-gap potential and as he continues to mature, his strength should only enhance his hitting capability.

Lorenzo Monteagudo (‘29, FL) • MIF • Uncommitted • 5’7 120lbs
Monteagudo proved himself to be a solid RHH, putting up tough at-bats for his team and getting in some runs while doing so. The righty starts with a slightly opened stance, with weight stacked on his backside. In his load, he showcases a solid, controlled toe-tap that he uses to get well on time with the pitch. He has a short and compact swing, staying on plane and being able to go G2G with his power. Should be awesome to see how he fills out into a strong middle infielder.

4 shutout innings, allowing only 2 baserunners and striking out 9. He pitches from a H 3/4 arm slot and creates great extension. Frm FB that got up to 81mph paired with a SWP that he can back-door for strikes to RHHs. Occasionally mixed in a CH to RHHs that had good fade. Displayed pitchability and mound presence. Lots of room to grow into his frame and see a velo jump.
