The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as the calendar rapidly approaches the start of the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are pulled directly from our '25 Class Rankings. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on a SoCal '25 SS/RHP Diesel Toth from Arrowhead Christian Academy.  Toth is a well rounded overall prospect who shows realistic potential on both the mound and as a position player. With an athetic frame and  present strength to his build with some room to continue to develop/improve physically.  As an infielder he moves well with solid fundamental actions in his footwork and hands with plenty of arm strength at 88 MPH on the infield to handle SS, but he may be better suited long term athletically to play 2B/3B where he could be an above average defender. The swing works with a gap to gap approach that shows sneaky pop to the pull side with exit velocities up to 90.2 MPH, but a consistent feel to hit the ball hard which shows up in game. It's a high level hit tool with fringe average power that will add length to a college lineup. On the mound his feel for a 4 pitch mix is impressive with the ability to execute all pitches for strikes. The FB velocity works at 85-87 MPH consistently while touching 89/89 with more to come. He spins a pair of solid breaking balls in a 64-68 MPH CB and a 70-73 MPH SLD both he can throw for strikes with the SLD presently showing better ability, but potential for both offerings. He has feel for an intriguing 73-75 MPH CHG which he throws with good arm speed. His collection of all-around ability is a very enticing overall package for a college program. Previously committed to the University of Hawaii Toth reopened his recruiting in late fall of 2023 and will be a very good land for the programs who commits his services to play for their program.
