96. JOSH URBAN, rhp, Wareham Gatemen (Texas/SO in 2011)

Memphis Tigers 2025 Highlights: Head coach Matt Riser began to put his stamp on the program in his first year as skipper after leaving Southeastern Louisiana where he won over 300 games in 10 seasons. He is a proven winner and while they took their lumps at times last year, they did beat Ole Miss at home for the first time since 2001 and achieved their first conference road sweep in over a decade at Rice. Under his direction there was a significant uptick in offensive production as they slugged 68 home runs (fifth most in program history) and walked 284 times (third most in program history). They also saw massive improvements on the mound, putting together a sound rotation and the back end of the bullpen was excellent securing 16 saves. Ultimately, they would miss the American Athletic Conference tournament, but the foundation is in place for 2026 to be one of the best in recent history....

PG All-Americans: Where are they now?

Tyler Kotila
Article Image
PG All-Americans - Where are they now? Every year, Perfect Game hosts its All-American Classic, one of the most prestigious honors for high school players across the country. It’s a storied event with 23 years of rich history — between the countless big leaguers who have gone on to produce incredible big-league careers, to future World Series champions, and players from more recent years who still have a whole road ahead of themselves. This week, our PG Draft Team has decided to take a look back at the history of this event over the years. Our scouts on the draft team went through and selected a PG All-American Classic from the past to discuss across three different eras. Over its 23-year history, we have divided it into three eras: the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s. Our Scouts take a look at some of the noteworthy performers from the years they chose, and give a little...

Down on the Farm: NL Central

David Rawnsley
Article Image
It’s the time of the year again (i.e. the off-season) for the annual PG Down on the Farm feature.  We identify a top prospect in each of the 30 Major League organizations with as much Perfect Game background as possible and delve into that PG history for some insight into his development as a prospect.  Some of them might be high profile, high draft pick, ex-PG All-American talents who fans have been long familiar with.  Others might be more obscure prospects who have significantly improved either in college or as professionals.  Note that players who have used up their rookie eligibility are not considered. The idea isn’t to necessarily pick the best PG background prospect in each organization but the one who might be closest to the big leagues.  Sometimes that is the same player, other times not. And there is plenty of variation among organizations...

UNC Greensboro Spartans 2025 Highlights: A year after head coach Cody Ellis led the Spartans to the SoCon Regular Season title in 2024, the exodus of impact talent caught up with his club. They started off the season in a promising way with a series win over Creighton, a mid-week win over Wake Forest and a victory on the road at Virginia Tech. However, they would end up losing 8 out of their next 10 games and from there the rollercoaster of a season began. When it was all said and done, the Spartans won 21 games, finished 6th in the regular season with 9 wins in conference play and would lose to Wofford in the first game of the SoCon Tournament. Impact Returners: · Junior Jacob Dilley (.255/.431/.356, 7 doubles, 6 HR, 20 RBI) has the full complement of tools behind the dish with improved power and plate discipline · Sophomore Parker Wight (.260/.479/.399, 11 doubles, 9 HR,...

Recruiting Notebook: December 1

Dan Pardini, LHP, Class of 2026 Commitment: Penn State Penn State continued their Tri-State area recruiting trend, landing southpaw Dan Pardini out of Christian Brothers Academy. Pardini works from a medium left-handed frame with present strength in the lower half. He starts above the belt before transitioning into a sidestep windup that features a high and quick leg load. Pardini fires down the mound via a standard reach back arm action and a true three-quarters slot, with ease and repeatability to the operation. The Nittany Lions’ recruit operates in the mid-to-high 80s with the heater, flashing cutting action, while mixing in a sweeping slider. Pardini displays feel to land on both offerings, carving through lineups thanks to his two-pitch mix. High speed look at the FF-SL from '27 3B/RHP Joseph Webb (TN)... @PG_Uncommitted #WWBAWorlds @PG_Tennessee https://t.co/5MD4KG6ZKv...

MLB Draft Superlatives

Most likely college player to make a massive jump up the board? Garrett Wright, C/OF, Tennessee Wright joins the Volunteers after two really quality seasons with the BGSU Falcons in the MAC. Wright has slashed .390/.505/.619 with 28 doubles, three triples, and 14 homers over his 430 plate appearances during his freshman/sophomore year campaign. He’s currently ranked 144th on the Top 150 MLB Draft Prospects, but I’m betting on a big year from the backstop as he settles in for the Vols. Wright’s got the upside at the plate and has shown it in the past; a big move up the board would be a no-brainer if he can tap into that success he’s seen before at the SEC level. -Tyler Kotila C Ryder Helfrick (@RazorbackBSB) deposits this over the wall for a solo shot. Gets to impact easy & the bat speed/strength is evident, huge uptick in #’s across the board offensively...

Regional Superlatives: Four Corners

Tyler Henninger

Most Likely To Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026 Wade Cozart (‘28, NM) competed in this complete game striking out 14 while filling up the zone consistently. Fastball up to 90mph and settled in at 85-88mph. Quick arm with a repeatable motion. #AZFallState pic.twitter.com/gqtiiIhkKY — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) October 18, 2025 Wade Cozart (2028, Carlsbad, NM) is a sneaky two-way player that has flown under the radar for now, but looks poised to make a significant jump next year. At the plate, the left-handed hitting Cozart possesses a fluid stroke with sneaky power. He posted an OPS over 1.400 in a smaller sample this summer. While there are some tools on the offensive side, Cozart's highest potential is likely on the mound. The righthander was up to 90 mph in PG events this year already with feel for a slider and changeup shown. He pounds the zone and...
