Ryder Simon RHP/C/1B (27’, FL) •
View Player Profile
One of the better freshman arms in his class. Uncomfortable high sidearm slot from 6’5 frame. Pounds the zone with a sinker at 85-88 T:89. Above average side spin SL at 76-77 that can be sharp and nasty at times. Consistent ability to land the SL for strikes. Very reliable developing CH at 77-79 that has some hard ASR and will miss barrels. Can also swing it a bit. Strong wirey limbs that helps him produce plus bat speed for his age. Present raw power to all fields that could become more consistent as he learns how to move his long levered limbs.
Ryder Simon (‘27,FL) • Very good follow in the Freshman class. FB primarily 87-88, T89. Feel for the @ CH 77-79. Tight SL, up to 80 #uncommitted @PowerBSB pic.twitter.com/QSyJ2HXbwC

One of the better performers in the bullpens on friday night. Came out with some head turning heat, FB sat 87-89 T:91 with occasional run to it. Slimmer frame with a lot of room to add muscle and gain velo. Solid feel for a mid 70s SL and a high 70s CH. Topspin SL has some promise to it as it does have some vertical depth to it. Will be a big time uncommitted name this summer on the showcase circuit.

Sebastian Echeverry RHP (26’, FL) •

Standout 2026 arm who was probably the best performer at the friday night bullpens. Firm FB at 87-89 T: 90. 12-6 CB at 70-72 with a good amount of VB to it. Showed an advanced ability to front door his SL to RHHs at 79-80. Very good CH at 80-82 that plays off the FB well and drops late. Very clear pitchability with Echeverry. His ability to add and subtract while moving around the zone should lead to a dominant summer ahead. Will be a big name on the 2024 summer circuit.
Sebastian Echeverry (26’, FL) • Was dialed in this morning working up to 88mph with heavy ASR. SL is an outlier with a high s/m rate at 78mph. Overall standout this weekend. #Uncommitted @PowerBSB https://t.co/u7DdloVmLl pic.twitter.com/7O9oUexc6j

Insane raw arm strength for a smaller frame. Quick athletic movements down the mound that help him to generate velocity. Explosive FB at 86-88 T:89. Really impressive hard tight SL at 75-77. SL tunnels well of the FB and breaks hard and late on the edge of the zone. Can throw the SL for strikes at a high percentage.

Uber projectable 6’4 200lb athletic frame. Nice barrel whip to his swing. Showed some developing raw power, driving a few to the warning track. Free swinger but he controls himself from chasing often, goes up to the plate with a defined approach. His frame should help the power continue to become more consistent as he grows into his frame. Top EV of 91mph per Flightscope. Standout defensively at SS. Smooth controlled footwork with soft quiet hands. Accurate arm up to 85mph across the diamond.

Simple compact swing with a full field line drive approach. Firm stable lower half. Really mature at the plate, doesn’t try to muscle up and just finds barrels with ease. Gets on plane early, and should hit for power as he physically matures. Top EV of 90mph per Flightscope. Showed off an impressive arm in the OF for his age. Low throws consistently on the bag, plus arm strength up to 88mph from the OF.

Ayden Gonzalez RHP (26’, FL) •
View Player Profile
Uncomfortable sidearm slot that produces a natural run on his FB which sat 83-84 T:85. He should see his velo tick up in the next few years as he has room to add up to 20-25lbs of muscle as he fills out his 6’0 175lb frame. His best secondary pitch was a late breaking Cutter at 79-80. Also showed potential with a low rpm Splitter that dropped off the table hard.

Brennan Bachtell C (26’, FL) • View Player Profile
Best round of BP on Saturday. Natural feel for the barrel, and the ball just sounded different coming off his bat. Quick twitch swing. Showed present power to the gaps. Top EV of 95mph per Flightscope. Pretty much filled out frame wise, but still room to add some muscle. Behind the dish, he has smooth actions with a clean transfer. Top pop time of 1.99 with a C velo of 77mph.
