Evasco enters 2026 as one of the most intriguing left-handed power bats in the class, and his sophomore campaign has been a direct continuation of the breakout that made scouts take notice as a freshman. He set K-State freshman records for home runs and RBI in 2025, earning D1Baseball Freshman All-American honors. The 2026 refinements have been real: his in-zone whiff rate has dropped from 12.3% to 10.7%, his chase rate has come down meaningfully from 34.8% to 28.7%, and his exit velocity has ticked up. He has shown the profile of a hitter who is making more deliberate, confident decisions rather than expanding. The carrying tool is the natural power to all fields from a massive left-handed frame, with a particular skill to punish mistakes down and in. His coach describes the ability to put the barrel on pitches at different angles as the defining skill, and the all-fields damage backs that up. Despite the toolset, the power surge is yet to come in 2026. The honest limiting factor is defensive, as a corner outfielder with first base as his only realistic alternative. The defensive profile won't move the needle, but with the bat trending the direction it is, it m ay not need to. This is a hit-and-power profile that can carry a pro roster if the chase-rate gains hold in conference play.

Marin was a prospect out of high school, but has had a rocky college career thus far and has transferred twice. The swing-miss is a bit much at 33.3%, but the contact quality has been great with a 112 mph max EV, 35.7% barrel rate and .431 xwOBAcon. The hit tool will never be fully there, but he's got a shot to play SS and there's above-average or better power.
