Committed to Gardner-Webb University

Noah Entrekin is a projectable left-handed pitcher out of Arcadia,  Oklahoma, representing the Class of 2025. Standing at 6’2” and around  190 pounds, he brings a strong, athletic frame with plenty of room to  continue developing at the next level.

Primarily a left-handed pitcher, Entrekin also has the ability to  contribute as a 1B/OF, showing versatility on the field. On the mound,  he features a smooth, repeatable delivery with natural feel from the  left side, creating tough angles for hitters and consistently working  around the zone.

What stands out most is his projection. With his size, arm action,  and overall makeup, Entrekin has the tools to continue gaining velocity  and sharpening his secondary pitches as he matures physically.

His development and performance have earned him a commitment to  Gardner-Webb University, where he will continue his baseball career at  the Division I level.

2026 | OF/1B

Zavion Jackson is a powerful left-handed hitter in the Class of 2026  and an Indiana commit who continues to make noise on the national stage.  Standing around 6’1”, 218 pounds, he brings a strong physical presence  with the ability to drive the ball to all fields. Jackson combines power  with athleticism, running well for his size and showcasing a strong arm  from the outfield.

Known for his impact bat and consistent production, he’s the type of  player who can change a game with one swing. Competing in high-level  environments like the ABA Conference, Jackson continues to separate  himself as one of the more dangerous middle-of-the-order hitters in his  class, with a growing reputation as a next-level prospect.

Every so often, a young athlete comes along who forces the baseball world to stop and ask a simple question:

“Have we ever seen this before?”

That’s exactly where the conversation begins with Hardin Sullivan, the Class of 2032 standout from Texas.

At just 12 years old, Sullivan recently reached 85 miles per hour on the mound during Perfect Game competition, then punctuated the   moment by striking out one of the nation’s premier 12U hitters, DeMarco from Florida, with that same overpowering fastball.

Think about that for a second.

A sixth-grader.

Eighty-five miles per hour.

Those numbers don’t even sound like they belong in the same sentence.

I’ve  spent the last several days researching youth pitching  velocities, and  for the past year, one of the biggest conversations in  youth baseball  centered around the pitcher from Asia during the 2025  Little League  World Series who reportedly reached 82 mph. At the time, many considered that to be among the hardest velocities ever seen from a 12-year-old.

Now Sullivan has pushed that conversation even further.

At 85 mph, the discussion naturally becomes whether we’re witnessing one of—if not the—hardest   documented fastballs ever thrown by a 12-year-old. While historical   youth pitching records aren’t officially tracked across every league  and  showcase, what Sullivan is doing places him in extremely rare   territory.

Known for his quick feet and natural speed, Trevor brings a ton of  range defensively. Whether he’s in the middle infield or tracking balls  down in the outfield, he shows the ability to get to spots that most  players his age can’t. His movement, instincts, and effort make him a  reliable presence wherever he lines up.

What makes Trevor even more intriguing is his upside. Still early in  his development, he has plenty of room to grow into his body, and as he  gets bigger and stronger, his tools are only going to continue to  improve. Already one of the faster players on the field, his speed  combined with his versatility gives him a strong foundation to build on.

A young player trending in the right direction, Trevor Eversmeyer is a  name to keep an eye on as he continues to develop and elevate his game.

Wyatt Vogler is a highly-ranked youth baseball player from Mocksville, North Carolina, known for being one of the top athletes in the 2033 graduating class. 

  He has played for elite youth squads including Rays National, Carolina Smoke, and Dirtbags 10U. 

When  you cover youth baseball every day, you hear a lot of names.  Most of  them are local. Every once in a while, though, a player from  another  state starts popping up over and over again.

Lately, one name has been impossible to ignore.

Zayn Williams.

Based  out of Lake Charles, Louisiana, the Gold Culture standout just  wrapped  up his 11U season, and the numbers are eye-opening. The biggest  one?

30 home runs.

Let that sink in.

Thirty home runs during one spring season while competing in Majors and AAA baseball.

Zyden James is quickly establishing himself as one of the fastest  young athletes in the game, already being recognized as one of the top  11-year-olds in baseball when it comes to speed. Clocked at a 7.7  60-yard dash, his explosiveness and quickness separate him from the  pack—and the scary part is, he’s only getting faster.

What makes Zyden even more impressive is his age. As an 11-year-old  sixth grader competing against kids who are often a year older, he’s not  just keeping up—he’s standing out. His speed translates everywhere on  the field, whether it’s tracking balls down, creating havoc on the  bases, or impacting the game in multiple ways.

Beyond the tools, Zyden has already built a name for himself off the  field as well. Featured in one of Austin Schultz’s most viral videos as  the “Coach, you got me?” kid, he’s become a recognizable and  entertaining personality in the baseball community.

With elite speed, high-level athleticism, and a natural feel for the  game, Zyden James is a young prospect trending up fast—and one that’s  only scratching the surface of his potential.
