Tsuji put together a strong Jr. season once he came out of the transfer sit-out period, and that carried into the summer, which culminated with a loud showing at the 2025 California State Games for Prep Baseball. The 2026 spring has been more of the same for the hitterish RH hitting CF defender as he entered the game, hitting .400 in 14 games, collecting hits all over the field, and playing high-quality defense in the premium spot. It was a good look at the baseball IQ on the day, as much as the baseball ability for Tsuji on this day. Going deep in the count in his first at-bat vs. Cerny, he got a good look at all three offerings from the talented southpaw. His second plate appearance was more of the same, going deep in the count, but this time he drilled two balls on the barrel just foul before being retired again, making Cerny work before recording the out. His final plate appearance, he was on an advantage count offering and smoked a drive into CF that was right at the Musketeers defender. It was a strong showing of Tsuji’s ability to make a pitcher earn every out with him, either by working deep into the count or by barreling up a mistake with authority. Skills like that are a testament to why Tsuji has hit at such a high level over his high school career and project well for continued success at the next level.

Grant Tsuji, Adolfo Camarillo High (CA), 2026 Positional Profile: OF/SS CF with strong defensive tool. Adds swing that produces loud contact to the pull side with a line drive approach. Body: 6-1, 179-pounds. Lean, athletic build with room for added strength. Hit: RHH. Sets up upright and balanced with hands in front of the shoulder and lower back elbow. Barrel lies over the shoulder with a subtle bat waggle present. Initiates the load by shifting weight to the back side as the hands drift back significantly and the barrel works vertically. Uses a medium leg kick for timing before a long, aggressive stride forward. Drives the back knee during the hip turn, generating length in the bat path with present bat speed. Works on a slightly uphill swing path that promotes carry and displays a high finish. Shows a line-drive approach to the pull side with flashes of power. 72 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 90.0 mph. 332' max distance. Arm: RH. OF-84 mph. Some length to arm path, creating good depth as he works up to a 3/4 slot. Generates solid carry on throws with accuracy shown to the bag. Arm can play across the OF. Defense: Displays good range with efficient routes and strong reads off the bat. Works with clean, short-stride footwork and fluid actions. Profiles well in CF. ATH: 7.08 runner in the 60. 1.71 and 3.91 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 22.00 max vertical. Vizual Edge: 59.5 Edge Score

This was back to back viewing on Tsuji (saw him on Friday 5/2 vs. Royal where he posted a two hit day) and the RH hitting CF has been impressive in each of those two looks. Athletically built with quickness to his run tool he plays a strong CF defense with ability to cover ground looking most comfortable coming in or to his glove side, but is sound going to throwing arm side or back on balls. His arm has shown well over the course of two INF/OF looks and one in game throw being at least solid with potential for more as he matures. Where Tsuji has stood out for me is in the batters box where the leadoff man for the Scorpions has demonstrated a hitterish, aggressive approach that hunts and attacks early hittable offerings showing strong bat to ball skills (0 whiffs over two games) with solid feel to deliver the barrel accurately at contact. Tsuji has an aggressive forward move, but does a sound job of controlling his body with rhythm/timing to reach the launch position on time or early with solid to strong bat speed showing in a leverage based bat path that plays to a middle/pull approach. Over two games Tsuji has posted six hits in nine at bats never going deeper than five pitches in the count with multiple at bats ending within the first-second pitch. A transfer into Camarillo Tsuji got a late start to his JR. season, but has capitalized to be the most impactful offensive piece for a Scorpions team and will be a strong name to follow in Ventura County for the 2026 class.
