7. Isaiah Eacrett - Juneau, Juneau-Douglas High School: Eacrett is a versatile player who can turn his hand to anything in the field. A capable pitcher, a slick fielder and an effective hitter he's someone valuable to Juneau-Douglas.

8. Noah Brown - Anchorage, Bartlett High School: The brown one is a power pitcher who throws in the upper 80s. His control still leaves a lot to be desired, but his raw talent and athleticism make him one worth keeping an eye on in the next few years.

9. Jack Frederick - Anchorage, West High School: Frederick is a dependable first baseman with an eye for the ball at bat. He's not flashy, but he gets the job done time and again, making him a key cog in West High offense.

10. Ethan Davis - Palmer, Palmer High School: Davis is a late bloomer who has come into his own in his senior season. He's a solid hitter with an eye for the barrel of the bat, which makes him potentially one to watch break out this coming season.
