School: Archbishop Moeller HS, Cincinnati, Ohio. Committed: Uncommitted. Age At Draft: 18.3.
Ponatoski is the quarterback for one of the top programs in the country at Archbishop Moeller HS in Ohio, where he broke the school’s single-season record for passing yards as a sophomore in 2023 and is getting offers from Division 1 programs. He’s a lefthanded hitter who doesn’t swing and miss much, with some length to his swing at times but good hand-eye coordination, strike-zone judgment and a patient approach that leads to high OBPs. He has good bat speed, makes hard contact and has the physical projection to grow into more power. He has experience playing all over the infield, is adept at charging the slow roller and has an above-average arm that could jump another grade as the draft gets closer, with second or third base more likely than shortstop to be his defensive home as he gets closer to the big leagues.
