FEATURED PROSPECTS:
Jackson Crawford OF / LHP / Mountain Vista, CO / 2027Rankings StateRank: 4 / POS: 1
Crawford is Colorado's #1 ranked position player in his class as the underclassman displayed some higher level play during this year's Super Sophomore Games in Kansas City. The smooth left-handed swing on Crawford comes with plenty of whip and leverage in the lower half while he has generated a max exit velocity at 93 mph with a 75 mph bat speed. Crawford was able to take a plethora of quality at-bats in Kansas City and found the barrel quite often to all fields.

Talan Borcherding 3B / RHP / Legend, CO / 2027Rankings StateRank: 27 / POS: 5
Borcherding comes in at 6'1'' with some long levers and a loose arm that was able to get the fastball up to 83 mph during this year's Legend scout day. We also saw pitchability from Borcherding with a serviceable curveball and changeup he could land for strikes. The sophomore's projectable frame should unlock even more velocity in the near future while he also displayed some two-way upside with a 90 mph top exit velocity in this event.

Colten Smith OF / RHP / Legend, CO / 2027Rankings StateRank: 31 / POS: 5
Smith was impressive all around during this year's Legend scout day thanks to a fastball up to 84 mph, a 6.77 60 yard dash time, an 89 mph outfield throwing velocity, and a 90 mph top exit velocity. The underclassman has a high ceiling on the mound thanks to his developing athleticism with a 6'2'' wiry frame.

Carson Reffel OF / 3B / Legend, CO / 2027Rankings StateRank: 32 / POS: 6
Yet another big winner from this year's Legend scout day was outfielder Carson Reffel. The athletic sophomore presented a relaxed and consistent swing that produced one of the better rounds of batting practice in recent events. Reffel topped out at a 94.1 max exit velocity and displayed gap to gap power with exceptional hands. The outfielder is actively developing right now and also ran a 6.90 60 yard dash.
