One of the top uncommitted two-way prospects in the state, RHP/INF CJ Lake (Oakville, 2026) delivered a standout performance on both sides of the ball during Sunday’s scout day. At 6-foot-3, 181 pounds, Lake boasts a projectable frame with impressive strength and raw power. He consistently barreled balls back through the middle during BP, including the event’s hardest-hit ball—a scorching 105.7 mph missile—while averaging 91.4 mph per batted ball. Defensively, he showcased elite arm strength, reaching 94 mph across the diamond and firing a 96 mph dart from the outfield. However, Lake’s most electric work came on the mound. He ran his fastball up to 94.4 mph, sitting comfortably at 91-94 mph with effortless velocity. His secondary offering was equally sharp, spinning a tight, swing-and-miss slider with -13.7 inches of horizontal movement on average. He also flashed a deceptive, low-spin changeup at 78-80 mph, rounding out an arsenal that makes him one of the most intriguing arms in the class, a must see for college coaches.

Fresh off a breakout performance at the Missouri Preseason All-State, INF/RHP CJ Lake (Oakville, 2026) put together another loud workout at this past weekend’s event. Plenty projectable with present strength at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds, Lake generates bat speed and noticeable rotational acceleration out of his load that aids him with producing loud thump off the barrel. He averaged 94.2 mph per batted ball at this event, an event best, and he also squared up the day’s hardest ball at 102.6 mph. Lake’s furthest ball traveled 371 feet into the left-center gap, and he posted a 90% hard-hit rate, meaning all but one of his batted balls was under 90 mph. His 92 mph high from the outfield was this event’s highest mark, and he was 89 mph across the infield at the Preseason All-State in early February as well. On the mound, Lake pumped his fastball at 87-90 mph, touching 91 mph on his hardest bullet. He spun two breaking balls, both in the low-70s, with differing shapes - one worked more horizontally (-15” on average) while the other showed more gradual action and vertical drop. Primed for an impactful spring on a talented Oakville squad, Lake is a name-to-know sophomore in Missouri.
