Jupiter Uncommitted Standouts: Hitters |






Ian Herrington (2024, Meridian, Miss.) saved his best for last in Jupiter as he carved during his five-inning outing. He did not surrender a hit and whiffed 10 opposing batters. He sits in the mid-80s now, but the athletic righty is 6-foot-4, 187 pounds and had a ton of projection to go with the ability to miss bats. There is some real power to the breaking ball.

Wyatt Halvorson (2023, Scottsdale, Ariz.) has a durable 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame and already shows the ability to pound the zone. During his two outings in Jupiter, he threw a combined four innings of shutout baseball and fanned nine hitters. He has a hard breaking ball with swing-and-miss characteristics to go with his low-90s heater.

Colin Carney (2023, Kingwood, Texas) has an uber projectable 6-foot-6, 175-pound frame with easy upside and already peaks in the upper-80s. He threw four scoreless frames, giving up a single run and striking out six. The long limbs did not bother him, as he repeated and pounded the zone to a 71% strike clip.

Donovan Dykas (2023, New Lenox, Ill.) was tremendous during his six-inning start during the WWBA, striking out 11. He pounded the bottom of the zone with his low-80s sinker and excellent plane coming from his 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame. He mixes multiple pitches and is fearless in any count. There is winner written all over him.

Cayden Robinson (2023, Fleming Isle, Fla.) had a couple outings down in South Florida and displayed an innate ability to miss bats. The 6-foot, 160-pound frame fired mid-80s fastballs, with more coming, to both sides of the plate as he consistently challenged hitters. His 11 strikeouts over seven innings are just the start as he continues to refine his game.

Christian Pownall (2023, Russiaville, Ind.) is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound lefty that twirled four no-hit innings and struck out six over his stellar outing. He can impressively win with the fastball and attacked the zone with a 71% strike clip.

Parker Booth (2023, Katy, Texas) is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound Texan who has a very athletic look and quick shoulder that can fire upper-80s bolts with good life. He got plenty of whiffs on his way to eight strikeouts, and should continue to add velocity as the frame fills out.

Makaio Cisneros (2024, Whitby, Ontario) shows real signs of pitchability as he moves his upper-80s heater around the zone and uses his mid-70s breaking ball to keep hitters off balance. He threw four dominant innings, giving up a single hit and struck out seven. The 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame will mature nicely.

Gavin Stedman (2025, Auburndale, Fla.), the youngest player on this list, pitched like an experienced veteran during the event as he sat in the upper-80s during his four shutout innings. He struck out five, using a solid future three-pitch mix.

Kalani Santos (2023, Hacienda Heights, Calif.) navigated five scoreless innings in Jupiter and punched out six batters. He ran the heater up to 91 mph and can move the ball away from both lefties and righties, as he mixes the off-speed pitches.

Drew Koenen (2023, Park Ridge, Ill.) is a quick-armed 6-foot-3, 210-pound righty who uses a firm two-pitch mix to attack hitters. He ran the fastball up to 93 mph and the pitch has some real jump out of the hand. There is some weight and depth to the breaking ball and both pitches should develop as the righty logs innings.



Chris Knier (2023, Jensen Beach, Fla.) capped off a sensational PG career with a three-inning shutout outing where all but one out was a strikeout. His slider and curveball are both weapons and both played a role in those eight strikeouts.

Daniel Hartley (2023, Auburndale, Fla.) threw three no-hit innings in Jupiter and got plenty of empty swings on his way to striking out five hitters. The fastball is heavy and he throws the pitch with intent, and he had no trouble using his mid-70s breaker when needed.



Dylan Jordan (2024, Melbourne, Fla.) was great during his outing in Jupiter, using a lively fastball to overpower a very solid lineup. He paired the heater with a sharp breaking ball that helped strike out a batter per inning without giving up an earned run. He has tremendous upside given his peripherals and age.
