I was impressed with the development that '26 C Jace Watson (Castle) has made since our last look during the 2023 summer. The strong left-handed hitter hailing from Evansville has made noticeable improvements in his arm strength, increasing his outfield velocity to 86 mph and his catcher velocity to 76 mph, also posting a personal best pop time of 1.96. A physical, 6-foot-1, 195 pounder - Watson showed off a short, simple swing that works level through the hitting zone, posting another personal best in exit velocity, reaching 96.2 mph.

Jace Watson, Castle (IN), 2026 Positional Profile: C/OF Body: 6-1, 195-pounds. Physical frame Hit: LHH. Strong setup. Uses a short, quick leg lift stride paired with a compact upper body load. Bat comes through the hitting zone on a level plane. Swing get a bit rigid at times, however bat speed & barrel strength are obvious. Has a chance to be very good in the box with continued development. Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 82.0 mph. 320' max distance. Arm: RH. C-73 mph. OF-81 mph. Longer arm action from the OF, shorter arm action from the crouch - both work from an over-the-top slot. Defense: 2.04-2.08 pop times. (OF) - Controlled, athletic feet working towards the baseball. Confident hands that play out front with a natural exchange. (C) Quick feet with a clean exchange on throws to 2B. ATH: 7.08 runner in the 60. 1.70 in the 10 yard split.
