Reiston
Durham

Uncommitted. The 2x Future Games participant caught a barrel in the late stages of the round 1 game of Future Games. Displaying a well-connected swing with effortless bat speed. Creating leverage with the athletic 6-foot, 169-pound frame the incoming junior continues to show an advanced feel for the barrel.

First look at the former Future Games standout this spring, and gives a meaning to the term “what they look like”. Still just 15 years old, Durham has matured quickly, adding significant lean muscle to a broad-shouldered 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame. The uncommitted sophomore works short-to-long while creating good separation and leverage. Potential for good pull-side power as the frame continues to get stronger and present bat speed. Plus athlete in the dirt with flexibility in the lower half and advanced footwork moving laterally. Arm strength across the diamond is easy with plenty of carry. Most impressive part of the game is the foot speed improving after adding the muscle, flashing plus run times with a 4.00 on a bunt single. The ceiling is substantial for Durham and will be a hot name this summer among prospective colleges.

5-foot-11, 165 pounds. The only 2026 player on GA’s Future Games roster, it can sometimes be intimidating for younger players on the big stage. But Reiston has been playing against top competition much older than him all year now, and has delivered against top arms time and time again. Everything about his game is advanced. This is a true 5 tool potential who plays cool, calm, and collected regardless of the pressure of the situation. What you love to see in a young player is for him to progress in each game he plays, and that’s exactly what Durham has done here at Future Games. He’s consistently had better AB’s and been on time with some of the best arms in the country. He really began to get a rhythm game 2 and was timing up release points with ease. But his offensive game really broke out in game 3, as he had 2 dangerous 90+ EV lasers to the pull side. One was a hit that got an inning started for us, and one was hit directly at the RF. If there were 2 more games at Future Games with a playoff setup, we have no question Durham would’ve been on a hot streak. This true SS has played all over the infield this week, making an incredible diving play to save runs at 2B and showing off his instincts and ability to switch positions naturally. But don’t get it mistaken, this is a true SS with advanced actions and arm strength that is going to be a mainstay atop of our 2026 rankings.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11 160-pounds. The ‘21 Junior Future Gamer has emerged as one of the top prospects in the state in his freshman year at Dacula. He earned the starting job at SS, and never looked back. The left handed bat hunts the fastball, and has power to all parts of the field. He is a dynamic player, and can make things happen with his feet. He is an athletic defender who can make all the tough plays. He had a ball bounce off the third baseman, and back handed it in the hole to throw the runner out at first. Durham will be a high follow and rankings climber in the 2026 c

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. Offensively, this was the best performance for an underclassman I’ve seen this spring in GA. Not only did it contain a momentum shifting triple that exploded the Dacula dugout and fans alike, but also a great bunt and a lengthy QAB that ended in a single. It all started in warmups when my eyes immediately popped once seeing him field a grounder. The footwork, how well he read the hop, effortless momentum through the ball, body control, and… an absolute CANNON attached to his right shoulder. Talking to his dad after the game, I quickly found out the ceiling on this arm. Dad was an infielder for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and had mid to upper 90’s arm strength. After seeing him anticipate a backhand and throw a heat seeking missile over to 1B, it was pretty obvious Durham is headed for that same mid-90’s arm in the not so distant future. So before the game had even started, this was a main target. His 1st AB, a beautiful bunt to the 3B side and an A/AVG run time (3.96 on bunt). 2nd AB, he turns the barrel in tight space with ease and eye opening bat speed to send a laser to the RC gap off 85!! He again showed off the speed, but now I was well aware of the future power potential in the bat. It was good to see how well he uses the ground to create his power in the swing, taking advantage of the strength in his legs (built like a 5 star RB). It creates a strong hip hinge in a minimal negative move, keeping his hips well paced and not far from his center of balance. It also allows him to sink aggressively into the lower half without much head movement. Durham’s toe tap is very low risk, almost scraping the ground to keep great direction to the pitcher. The load is two parts and flows well with the toe tap, creating more and more stretch as he gains ground in stride. Post toe tap might be the best front hip clearance I’ve seen in an underclassman, as it leads the stride 100% with no front foot dominance. Not only that, but the front side and upper half coil perfectly to the back hip during it. I look forward to digging more into the intangibles of his game, but right now this has the look of one of the best players in the class.
