Cayden Prestage is an outfielder and left-handed pitcher in the class of 2026 and is one of the top prospects in the state of Mississippi this year. He’s committed to North Alabama for the fall and is a capable two-way talent.
He’s a good athlete with a solid stroke, producing some power already thanks to present strength. There’s enough athleticism to keep him on the outfield grass.
On the mound he’s touching the low-90s and has three projectable secondaries.
Prestage plays at Magnolia Heights, the alma mater of decorated Future Stars Series alum Cooper Pratt, older brother of current FSS members and Magnolia Heights stars Quincy Pratt (2027) and Jett Pratt (2029).
