In the first iteration of the Classic in 2022, the likes of Cooper Pratt, Raudi Rodriguez, Boston Baro, Zion Rose, Tre Phelps, Luke McNeillie, and Alex Kranzler competed as high school standouts before moving on to pro ball or big-time college baseball.
Thus far, we’ve dug into the following players:
Marvin Ridge High School (N.C.) star Logan D’Amico can do it all, and is headed to Wake Forest in the fall if MLB clubs don’t fall head over heels for him in the draft.
At 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, D’Amico brings strength and athleticism to the field, the batter’s box, and the mound, giving him every way possible to offer value. And the tools ate loud.
He impressed at the Future Stars Series National Combine in July, showcasing above-average to plus tools across the board, including future plus hit, power, and arm, and displayed instincts in the field and on the bases.
Logan has a potential future at two spots — as a bat in the OF or as a RHP. He is projectable on the mound with a fast arm, three average to above average pitches, and a competitor’s mentality to attack every pitch.

He hit 92 mph from the bump, too, and his breaking ball and changeup flashed. And D’Amico can spin it, generating 2858 RPM average on the curveball. The fastball showed solid spin rates, too, at 2324 RPM.
At the Main Event, he repeated his performance, starting with an impressive set of rounds in batting practice and then taking it to games. He smoked several balls over 90 mph, including three over 95 mph, five over 92 mph, and two over 100 mph.
On the mound at Globe Life Field, he pitched comfortably at 91-93 mph with some sink, threw strikes with a 78-81 mph breaking ball, and generated a 45.5% swinging strike rate.
