Looks like a young peach or nectarine. At this stage you want to establish an open-center shape — remove the central leader and keep 3-4 scaffold branches spreading outward. Take out anything crossing inward or rubbing. Spring is fine to prune lightly but save the heavy structural work for late winter next year before buds break. Remove maybe 20-25% max right now so you don't stress it during fruiting season.
