Cohen Babelay (‘26, Bearden) The Sophomore would be a driving force in Maryville’s victory against Hardin Valley to advance to the district championship and clinch a spot in Regionals. The young backstop would have 2 hits on the day and would drive in 4 runs including a triple in the game. Babelay has been a steady force for the Rebels all season, producing at a high level for his team. He showed off some impressive metrics at the Preseason all state including multiple sub 2 pop times (1.87 best). The catcher has a very athletic frame and will hold muscle extremely well as he moves forward in his development.

Cohen Babelay (2026, Maryville) The backstop got on our radar this summer at Top-Prospect Games where he competed really well agaisnt quality arms at the plate. We have been fortunate to see him a few times since then and most recently at our Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State and continued his increasing level of play with a very good showing against Hardin Valley. The sophomore Babelay collected a hard line drive up the middle on a day where offense was hard to come by for the Rebels. The catcher worked hard behind the plate with a good feel for receiving. Showed a pop time ranging from 1.87-2.05 at the TNPAS earlier this year. Babelay looks to be a mainstay in the hitting lineup for the Rebels and still holds a lot of room to develop further going forward.
