Jupiter Uncommitted Standouts: Hitters

Photo: Ariel Antigua (Perfect Game)
With the 2022 WWBA World Championships coming to an end earlier this week, uncommitted players from across the country left their mark on the amateur baseball world, with hoards of college recruiters looking on, meaning some of these players won't be uncommitted for too much longer. Part 1 of this project looks at some of the hitters who stood out, with a follow-up article soon looking at pitchers who opened some eyes and lit up the radar guns. 
 

Jeffrey Davis (2023, Moline, Ill.) had a big event with seven hits in just five games in Jupiter. He has an athletic 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame with lots of strength in the hands. His short stroke from both sides has plenty of accuracy and sticks to a solid line drive approach, also finding the green on a pair of doubles.

Seth Rajacich (2023, Apple Valley, Calif.) has a projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with loose levers and good length through the zone. He gets good whip and creates back spin to all fields. The approach is patient and he can work walks, but did show some aggressive traits with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in a few as well. This is a good left-handed bat to build on at the next level.



Kale Fountain (2024 Lincoln, NE) had an impressive week hitting over .300 with a massive homerun that cleared the trees on the Marlins quad. He is a strong right handed hitter with a physical presence at 6-5/226. He can handle either corner infield spot, but there is no reason that he should not develop longterm at third base. The underclassman hit in the middle of the order and produced. 

Andrew Swenson (2023, Enola, Pa.) used his quick bat to hit .500 during the event, including a homer. He has a frame that can easily add strength to help continue to build the power profile, but he is best staying in the middle of the field. The profile fits the top of the order as he also swiped five bags, showing good instincts and timing on the bases.

Noah Konings (2023, Bramton, Ontario) has a strong 6-foot, 180-pound build that creates solid bat speed through contact. He had six hits on the weekend, belting a double, on his way to hitting .375. He is also a solid runner, putting up 6.8 times in the 60-yard dash.

Bradley Garner (2023, Richmond, Va.) notched five hits during his four games in South Florida, showing the ability to hit velocity during the event. There is some power and lift in the swing and the 6-foot-1, 182-pounder has lots of room to add strength. Garner could also be used in multiple spots on the dirt.

Zekey Borel (2023, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) put together a very consistent week, hitting over .300 with a double to go with his four walks. He also showed solid ability to hit with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in three runs. He has an athletic look with a 6-foot, 185-pound frame and looks the part of a future power hitting corner outfielder.

Corey Fields (2023, Acworth, Ga.) is an explosive athlete with well above-average wheels that can be used on both sides of the ball to help change games. The right-handed hitter hit a robust .600 on the weekend and blistered a double and a triple during a great showing at the WWBA World Championship.  

Jacob Cooper (2023, Douglasville, Ga.) is a very physical 5-foot-11, 195-pound backstop and looks like a throwback behind the dish. He has big forearms that help create a ton of impact when out front. The powerful right-handed hitter blasted a homer during the event and hit a solid .400 on the weekend.


Drew Reaves (2023, Pensacola, Fla.) was featured in our uncommitted gems article before the event, and he did not disappoint. He has a compact swing and lots of bat-to-ball skills to go with his toughness in the right-handed batters' box. The well-rounded infielder has traits that can play early at the next level.

Luis Castillo (2023, Talbott, Tenn.) can be the guy you want to walk off the bus first with his Greek God-like 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame. He had a monster Jupiter, hitting .444 with a 1.694 OPS, barreling three extra-base hits, including a homer. There is monstrous power potential in the right-handed bat that should find its way into a middle of the lineup at the next level.

Ethan Bosley (2023, Edgewood, Ky.) used a very mature approach to display on-base skills during his time in Jupiter. He walked three times, clubbed three hits, and split the outfield for a triple. The right-handed hitter seemed to be on time during all his at-bats and with that type of hit tool, he should garner more interest.

Logan Chapman (2023, Apopka, Fla.) brought a calm, mature disposition to the right-handed box in Jupiter. He hit from start to finish and it resulted in a .538 average and 1.262 OPS. He has strength and fluidity that should allow him to continue to hit while the power will organically come.

Walker Vanecek (2023, Riverview, Fla.) hit .500 with a double during the most competitive tournament of the year. His 6-foot, 215-pound frame already has lots of strength, and his ability to identify pitches should give him a quality power/patience profile early on at the next level. He had a big 2022 circuit, producing over a 1.000 OPS with five homers.


Ariel Antigua (2023, Lake Worth, Fla.) was the event MVP and seemed to be the guy you wanted in the box to get the big hit. He had two doubles,  a homer, five walks, five RBI, and scored nine runs to absolutely stuff an event line. He also stole three bags and played sure-handed at shortstop on his way to a championship.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

The start of another high school season is right around the corner in a handful of states and with that, as always, comes our Preseason High School Top-50. A whopping twenty states are represented in the initial Top-50, a number that is staggering when you look at the amount of depth some of these rosters have across the nation. Leading the group is St. John Bosco (CA), a team that brought home a CIF Southern D1 title in 2025 and bring back a strong group of seniors to look to repeat. Stoneman Douglas (FL) is a name most people should know by now in the high school ranks and comes in as our preseason #2 team, looking to win their sixth straight state championship in Florida. Orange Lutheran (CA) had a good case for preseason #1 but come it an No. 3, bringing a roster with seven seniors ranked inside the top-200 in the country to the table. Four other Florida schools are represented...
