Dominic Santarelli

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #143 prospect in 2026 draft
  School: St. Joseph Catholic Academy, Kenosha, Wisc. Age At Draft: 18.8
  
  Committed: Louisville
  
  Santarelli has a strong, physically-mature build for his age and big lefthanded power. There’s some swing-and-miss that comes with his power, but it’s a swing with good rhythm and plenty of strength behind it to drive the ball out of the park. Santarelli’s offensive game will drive his value, with experience at first base and the outfield corners.
• Ranked #84 prospect in 2026 draft
  School: St. Joseph Catholic Academy, Kenosha, Wisc. Committed/Drafted: Louisville. Age At Draft: 18.7
  
  Santarelli is a monstrous presence in the lefthanded batter’s box and boasts some of the most impressive raw power in the 2026 class. Some scouts have commented that he has some of the most impressive power for his age they’ve ever seen. He has a strapping, physically-mature frame at 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and hammers the baseball with home run power to all fields. While Santarelli does have a tendency to swing and miss, he showed impressive feel for the barrel near the end of the 2025 summer at Baseball Factory’s All-America game, in which he went 3-for-5 with exit velocities near 110 mph. Santarelli is a surprisingly good athlete for his size. While he might be limited to first base, there’s a chance he could move around well enough to handle an outfield corner. He’s committed to Louisville and also has a background as a football and basketball player.
