Washington Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 C Gavin Duckart
September 7, 2026
As we end the summer showcase season, Prep Baseball Washington features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers that attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '27 C Gavin Duckart. The backstop from Jackson High School was most recently seen at PNW Preseason All-State this winter.
A wiry-framed righthander, Duckart's showcases have been highlighted by mid-90's exit velocities and a 1.97 second pop time. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.
