2025 Signature Event: Main Event
An invite to Arlington is the culmination of five years of work for the California native; we first saw him at a NorCal Scout Day all the way back in 2021. A three-time Underclass Combine attendee who earned his way to the Underclass Elite last year, Plascencia was a deserving holdover for the fourth and final day of the National Combine this year, and cemented his status in the Main Event with a solid day both at the plate and on the mound.
