Robert Juker, Foothill Technology High (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: 1B/3B Athletic 1B with projectable power and a strong, whippy arm that can play in the OF as well.
Body: 6-5, 185-pounds. Tall, athletic frame with considerable room to fill out and gain additonal strength
Hit: RHH. Wide, squatted and open stance with heavy pre-load into the back leg and short toe-tap stride. Creates tension with coil, inward shoulder turn, and extended hands past the back shoulder. Long, slightly upward bat path with considerable depth through the zone. Looks to get arms extended for gap-to-gap power. 66.2 mph bat speed with 15 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 86.3 mph. 320' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-80 mph. Long, whippy arm action that comes out of a low 3/4 slot, but can throw from multiple angles as well. Utilizes a consistent glove tap and the ball jumps out of the hand with accuracy and carry.
Defense: Gets into the lower half and utilizes an athletic hip hinge when fielding. Large target at 1B and looks confortable recieveing.
ATH: 8.30 runner in the 60. 1.66 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Juker passes the eye test immediately when you see him checking in at 6'5 with a wiry 185 lbs. frame that has plenty of room to continue adding strength which allows you to dream on his power potential. Juker has consistently posted max EVs in the upper 90's and there is more in the tank for him if he adds additional strength and on this day he peaked at 97 MPH while posting a new PR with a 78% hard hit rate from a swing that has loft in the profile. His hand speed has improved to over 22 MPH allowing him to keep them back a tick longer before pulling the trigger on his swing to be more accurate with his barrel reflected in the previously noted improved hard hit rate. His large frame profiles perfectly at 1B where he presents a large target for INF defenders and has cleaned up his footwork/hands moving around for grounders. His arm has ticked up to the 80 MPH range now with solid accuracy on his throws to 2B for DPs and 3B coming downhill on bunts. Another uncommitted 2026 who has plenty of offensive upside for a collegiate program to pull the trigger on.

Positional Profile: 1B/3B
Body: 6-6, 188-pounds. Long, lengthy projectable frame with wide shoulders.
Hit: RHH. Tall, narrow stance. Front foot offset. Large bat waggle. Hands held high at ear level. Large leg kick stride towards pitcher. Hands cast heavily during load. Hips fire first, generating good bat lag. Power to all quadrants. 67.9 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 93.4 mph. 359' max distance.

Defense: Tall posture when fielding. Calculated steps towards ball. Smooth, efficient transfer.

Juker made his mark at the event with some of the most consistent numbers of the day. With a max exit velocity of 99.8 mph (6th best) and an average of 93.4 mph, he showed the ability to drive the baseball with authority to all parts of the field. His hand speed (22.5 mph) and bat speed (71.2 mph) contributed to a 75% sweet spot rate, reinforcing his ability to find barrels consistently. Being able to be a consistent power bat, only reinforces his ability to be an effective middle-of-the-order presence as he continues to refine his defensive mechanics heading into his junior year.
