It's likely Nolan Schanuel is the best baseball player you've never heard of. The FAU slugger has been a mainstay on leaderboards for years now. Schanuel may have the best approach in the country with big juice. A premier name for the 2023 Draft.

Schanuel was one of my favorite players this summer. Consistently hit the ball hard and turned in great PAs. Expecting big things from him this summer

Paul Skenes has been one of the most productive players in college baseball over the past two seasons. While Skenes has transferred to LSU for the upcoming season, he attended Air Force over the past two years. He won the Mountain West Freshman of the Year award in 2019 and was selected to an All-American team in both his collegiate seasons. He also won the John Olerud Award in 2022, which goes to the best two-way player in NCAA baseball. 

Skenes has hit .367/.453/.669 with 24 home runs in 402 career NCAA plate appearances with 43 walks and 85 strikeouts. He has seen playing time at catcher, first base, and left field, although most of his appearances in the lineup were as a designated hitter. Listed at 6'6''-235 pounds, Skenes has the potential to be an excellent right-handed power hitter at the next level. 

 

9-7-22 -Top 5 New Jersey HS Prospects -https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/NJ/Updated-2023-New-Jersey-Player-Rankings-4281906357 

 Rounding out the Top 5 is Rutgers commit RHP Zachary Konstantinovsky (North Brunswick). It was truly splitting hairs this spring when deciding the player of the year, and Konstantinovsky was the legit runner up. After walking just two batters all spring, Konstantinovsky maintained the momentum through the dog days of summer at the Area Code Games, where he worked 87-90 and flashed feel for a changeup and breaker for strikes. I loved his quiet confidence on the mound throughout the spring and he showed that he was not fazed by the spotlight in the summer.

5. Aidan Miller, 3B, JW Mitchell HS (Fla.)

Miller, also a Team USA member, was all the talk in Los Angeles during the All-Star break, winning MVP honors in the High School All-American Game and then winning the high school home run derby to boot. He’s cemented himself as one of the best high school bats in the class.

#8 T.J. Pompey - SS - Coppell - Texas Tech Commit 

The athletic SS from Coppell is one of the best defenders in the state regardless of position.  He is an easy  mover on the dirt showing elite lateral quickness and range.  He has more than enough arm to make any throw from short, topping out at 93 this spring on the mound.  Pompey made some adjustments in the swing, and really started to get into his power more this summer. His frame still has some big   He ended the summer with a very good performance in San Diego at the Area Code Games.

-2023 OF Eli Lirette (Lakeshore HS):  The Lakeshore HS product made a splash at our Southeastern Louisiana Preseason ID, at Mandeville HS, back in January and he hasn't slowed down since.  Lirette is as "tooled" up as any prospect in the 2023 class.  At our Southeastern Louisiana Preseason ID, he started the day off showing elite speed by posting a 6.38 (laser) in the 60.  In the defensive portion of the day, he flashed well above average arm strength by recording a 91 mph positional velocity.  He then capped his day by taking a quality BP round, working gap to gap, with some present power and a 96 mph max exit velocity.  Lirette was one of the leaders for the Titans this past spring, as they finished their spring season with a state tournament appearance.  During the spring season, Lirette also announced his college commitment to Tulane University.  He didn't slow down this summer either, as he hit .338 for the Knights Knational 17U group with 1 HR, 3 2B, 4 3B, 11 RBI, and 18 SB.  Lirette moves up to #22 in this rankings update.
