Cohen Babelay (2026, Maryville) The backstop got on our radar this summer at Top-Prospect Games where he competed really well agaisnt quality arms at the plate. We have been fortunate to see him a few times since then and most recently at our Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State and continued his increasing level of play with a very good showing against Hardin Valley. The sophomore Babelay collected a hard line drive up the middle on a day where offense was hard to come by for the Rebels. The catcher worked hard behind the plate with a good feel for receiving. Showed a pop time ranging from 1.87-2.05 at the TNPAS earlier this year. Babelay looks to be a mainstay in the hitting lineup for the Rebels and still holds a lot of room to develop further going forward.
