Logan Buchanan (‘27, FL) • Utility/RHP • Uncommitted • 6’4 215

The strong RHH proved he can come clutch with runners on & can hit for power to the gaps, hitting a deep RBI 2B to LCF to put his team atop in the early stages of the game. He starts with an upright & relaxed stance, and has a tight rotation that allows him to stay square to the ball. Came in to relief for his team, showed some pitchability and command. Could be a possible two-way in near future if he decides to. Great, confident presence both on mound and in the box.

2-2, 2 double, BB, RBI

Chayce Martinez (‘26, FL) • 1B/Utility • Uncommitted • 6’3 225lbs

Martinez proved himself to be a solid bat in today’s tight game. The strong RHH starts in an upright, athletic stance with a slight bend in the knees and hands set at head height. Uses a soft stride gather, keeping the move simple and under control while creating great stretch between upper and lower half. The hands stay loose through the load, and the barrel comes through on a short, direct path. He stays inside the ball well and finishes balanced, with his head down through contact. Nothing seems forced or mechanical in his swing. Simply has a smooth, connected swing that gets to the ball clean.

With a strong lower-half drive and fluid mechanics, he maintained velocity deep into his start and showed poise under pressure.

Ethan Bauder (‘28, FL) • RHP • 6’3” 182



Bauder pitched a complete game shutout in IS Elite’s 1-0 rain-shortened victory on Sunday, allowing just 1 hit and striking out 6. He gives hitters a tough look, creating great extension, using a long arm action that begins extended behind his head, and releasing the ball from a low 3/4 arm slot. It allows his FB to play up and his fading CH to create swings and misses. Bauder had a very projectable frame, standing 6’3” with room to fill out.
