for baseball, i would say Sophomore year you have a good idea....
before that, it's a kid that has matured early or has been exposed to high level ball so his baseball IQ alone puts him way ahead..... then the rest catch up later/surpass.
I see kids peak SO early because their parents have them in a million camps, etc. which puts them ahead but only for a while.

I'm about 6 years older than my brother and I knew he was going to be pretty special at around age 7. The amount of skill he showed in anything he played was just unreal. Playing SS and backhanding balls and effortlessly making the throw. Scoring at will on the basketball court. Nobody in his age group could tackle him and he wasn't some huge kid. He was always above average size but never close to the biggest. I think I knew he had "it" his freshman year. Just finished up football and it was his first basketball game. He gets put into the game down 2 with 5 seconds left because of a starter fouling out. They draw up a play for the best player but my brothers defender doubles down and the ball get kicked out to him. Knocks down the shot at the buzzer to win it. He started the rest of his HS career.
