No pun intended.<\/p>\n<p>Many teams are playing tournaments and will soon compete in Easter tournaments next month.<\/p>\n<p>Before those tournaments, The Bee will reveal the Top 25 teams, but for now, here are some players many should keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if we overlooked a player, let agalaviz@fresnobee.com know.<\/p>\n<p>Top players to watch<\/p>\n<p>Jaxon Climer, Buchanan: One of the Bears\u2019 top weapons. The Cal Poly commit can get it done. Can play good defense, too.<\/p>\n<p>Brenden Cumiford, Clovis North: If the Broncos look to contend in the Tri-River Athletic Conference, look no further than Cumiford\u2019s arm. Clovis North will need him to be dominant.<\/p>\n<p>Austin Finegan, Buchanan: The Cal commit gives the Bears one of the top weapons. He was named The Bee Large School Player of the Year last season.<\/p>\n<p>Jensen Hirschkorn, Kingsburg: One of the fieriest players in the area. At 6-foot-7, he is an imposing figure. MLB rates him as a 2026 draft hopeful, ranking him 30th.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Plascencia, Buchanan: Obviously, the Bears return many starters, which is why he needs to be mentioned for his standout plays.<\/p>\n<p>Davis Wilson, Clovis North: One of the top high school pitchers in California and a player to watch in the 2027 MLB draft. Like Cumiford, he will need to be dominant in the TRAC.<\/p>\n<p>        Related Stories from  Fresno Bee<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/profile\/218450935\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773003440_146_Anthony Galaviz headshot.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Anthony Galaviz\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                <a class=\"author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/profile\/218450935\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Galaviz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    The Fresno Bee<\/p>\n<p>            Anthony Galaviz writes about sports for The Fresno Bee.
