Damian Budhai RHP / SS / Stroudsburg, PA / 2027

Budhai's performance at the PA Summer Top Prospect Games was the pinnacle of "standing out". At 5-9 and 165 lbs, Budhai is a wiry mover with quick and late arm acceleration. His slider was the best pitch of the entire event, with an incredible average spin rate of 2893rpm and topped at 3088rpm. Both pitches were landed for strikes and created OZ whiffs when needed. The innate ability to spin the baseball is extremely valuable in today's landscape of baseball and Budhai possesses that ability. 

 

 

Logan Camp RHP / 3B / The Haverford School, PA / 2027

Rankings  StateRank: 84 / POS: 26

The look at Camp on the mound was brief since he went 1-2-3 utilizing less than 12 pitches, but that was all he needed to display his talent. Attacked hitters with glove side fastballs that had up to 19 inches of horizontal movement and put them away with sliders on the black. Camp has continued to develop and improve every time we see him play. An intriguing arm talent with high upside.

 

 

Kevin Coleman C / RHP / Garnet Valley, PA / 2027

Rankings  StateRank: 40 / POS: 5
At 6-2 and 205 lbs, Coleman stands out strictly from first glance. The physical catcher made some serious noise with the best BP round of the event. Twelve swings and it felt like all twelve were barreled on a line into the left-center field gap. In the game, Coleman continued to swing a hot bat with two doubles over the left fielder's head. Defensively, Coleman is an average average defender in game with showcase pop times as low as 1.97 as well. What separates Coleman is his defensive arm strength, up to 80mph from the crouch and 86mph off the mound. 

 

 

Parker VonGunden RHP / 3B / Bellefonte Area, PA / 2027

A top performer from the game play portion of the event. In BP, Parker displayed a linear bat path that was direct to the baseball. With his above average barrel awareness, Parker proceeded to hit multiple extra base hits against difficult pitchers. His first XBH was off an inside fastball that he kept fair and hit a ground rule double just inside the left field foul pole. The next at bat Parker barrels another inner-half fastball into deep left-center field for a triple. A swing with very limited swing and miss but also contains legit power. 

 

 

Aaron Gaskey RHP / 3B / Greater Latrobe, PA / 2028

Rankings  StateRank: 30 / POS: 7
The rising sophomore displayed one of the events top pitching performances. His fastball sat 84-87 with enough induced vertical movement to create swing and miss at the top of the zone. Tunneling off the fastball was a curveball that produced up to a 2,413rpm spin rate. The curveball induced in-zone and out-of-zone swing and misses. At a 6-1 and 198 lbs frame, this multi-sport athlete is only scratching the surface of his potential.

 

 

Brendon Baiocco C / OF / Avon Grove High School, PA / 2027

Rankings  StateRank: 81 / POS: 10
A clear standout player from the showcase portion of the event with the quickest pop time of 1.95 and an arm strength of 75mph down to second base. One of the more impressive BP's with a barrel filled round of exit velocities peaking at 96mph. In gameplay Baiocco's performance got even better. To start his day he threw out a base runner attemting to steal 2nd base with a right knee down setup that transtioned into a traditional setup. Then he displayed his 7.15 60 time when he split the right field gap with a line drive for a triple. He looks the part of a next level catcher and will only improve as he adds onto his frame.

 

 

Evan Ketty SS / RHP / Lower Dauphin, PA / 2028

Ketty was one of the event's top "all-around" performers. He was the event's quickest runner at 7.08 and had an impressive BP that was littered with full field line drives at 91mph exit velocities. He threw 84 mph across the diamond from shortstop but gave us an even better look at his defensive ability in gameplay. From both shortstop and second base he made athletic plays that made him go on the run and make an off-balance throw. With a lean frame of 5-10 and 150 lbs, evident athleticsm and an above average internal clock, Ketty is developing into a trusty shortstop.
