Event Overview
The West Florida Top Prospect Games took place on June 23, 2026 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, bringing together some of the most highly regarded infield prospects from the 2027 through 2029 graduating classes.
Scouts evaluated each player across a range of tools — exit velocity, arm strength, defensive range, and athletic quickness — to produce a comprehensive picture of their capabilities and projectable roles at the next level.
Standout Performers
Among the standouts, Shaurya Bhosale of Hagerty posted a max exit velocity of 98 mph and an average of 92.9 mph, paired with a Vizual Edge Score of 76.74, underscoring his combination of raw power and visual processing.
Zachary Konrad, also from Hagerty, reached a 99 mph peak exit velocity and averaged 93.1 mph, while his Vizual Edge Score of 71.04 highlighted a refined hitting approach.
Other notable names included Matt Bowser of Calvary Christian, who switches sides with a 97 mph max exit velocity and a 71.3 Vizual Edge Score, and Noah Gonzalez of Sickles, whose 95 mph peak and 80.02 score suggested strong overall hitting potential.
Versatility emerged as a theme, with players such as Mason Frey of Jesuit and Preston Hamelynck of Northside Christian showing the ability to handle multiple positions, from first base to the outfield, while maintaining solid defensive metrics.
The event also emphasized physical attributes, with arm strength and athletic measurements indicating that many of these prospects could transition smoothly into both infield and pitching roles as they advance.
Future Outlook
As these athletes move into upcoming seasons, the data gathered in Bradenton will serve as a baseline for tracking development and for teams seeking to invest in players who already demonstrate a blend of power, precision, and adaptability.
