CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – More than 300 of the nation’s top prospects in the national high school class of 2018 are slated to overtake JetBlue Park, Spring Training home of the Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers, Fla., for the 17
th annual Perfect Game National Showcase next June 16-21 (Friday-Wednesday).

Since its inception in 2001, the Perfect Game National Showcase has grown to be regarded as the most prestigious and highly anticipated scouting showcase in all of amateur baseball. Occurring on the heels of the current year’s MLB June Amateur Draft, it allows the 30 teams’ front office personnel and scouting departments their first opportunities to knuckle-down and get serious in their evaluations of next year’s top high school seniors.

In the days leading up to the National Showcase more than 175 of the top rising high school juniors and sophomores (classes of 2019 and 2020) are set to take over JetBlue Park Monday, June 12 through Thursday, June 15, for the 12th annual Perfect Game Junior National Showcase.

The prospects at the PG National Showcase will be working to join an exclusive alumni club that features a membership including many of the best players in the game today. By the end of the 2016 season, 271 former PG National standouts had made their Major League Baseball debuts, including 2016 National League MVP Kris Bryant, 2016 American League Cy Young Rick Porcello and 2016 National League Rookie of the Year Corey Seager.

The alumni list also includes former MVPs Buster Posey, Joey Votto and Andrew McCutchen. Past MLB Rookie of the Year Award winners include PG National alumni Jeremy Hellickson, Wil Myers, Jose Fernandez, Carlos Correa, Bryant and Posey.

Since the event began in 2001 1,949 PG National Showcase participants have been selected in the draft, including 190 first-rounders. Those first-round picks include seven selected with the No. 1 overall pick: Justin Upton, Tim Beckham, Gerrit Cole, Correa, Mark Appel, Brady Aiken and Mickey Moniak.

The short history of the PG Jr. National Showcase is already a rich one. Eighteen of its former participants have already made their big-league debuts, including Bryce Harper, Nolan Arenado, Addison Russell, Lance McCullers Jr., Francisco Lindor and Joc Pederson.

Complete PG Leaderboard Database PG Leaderboard: Class of 2026 To think this group still has another two years of high school is a scary thought given what some of the category leaders already are. Samir Mohammed up to 97 mph on the mound, Bryce Fontenot with a max exit velocity of 103 mph and a 6.22 60-yard out of Dylan Seward are all otherworldly numbers that you'd expect to find on a college campus, much less a junior in high school.  Below we check in on several categories for the Class of 2027 and will continue to do so through the week, taking in the top 10 for each, from both Perfect Game showcases and tournaments.  Top Fastball Velocity Rk Player FB Event Commitment School Hometown 1 Samir Mohammed 97 2025 PG WWBA World Championship Louisiana State Tampa Jesuit Trinity, FL 2 Connor Salerno 96 2025 PG WWBA World Championship Mississippi State Sun Valley Indian Trail, NC...

OHIO VALLEY REGION (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH) The Ohio Valley Region has a healthy amount of top-level talent, as it features five Perfect Game All-Americans in shortstop Ethan Bass, third baseman TJ McQuillan, two-way stand out Matt Ponatoski and right-handed pitchers Shawn Sullivan and Grayson Willoughby.  The 2027 class looks very strong as well, especially in Illinois. A couple of things are missing from the Ohio Valley All-Region team, though.  The first is the two best outfielders in the region, as 2027 Illinois outfielder Sebastian Wilson is attending IMG Academy in Florida and fellow 2027 outfielder Noah Goettke from Ohio is attending P27 Academy in South Carolina.  Also missing are any players from Michigan, which enjoyed a dominant run of top prospects in recent years largely behind the Lake Orchard St. Mary’s HS program.  2027 catcher Broder Katke (Brother...

College Players of the Week: Feb. 17

Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Tyce Armstrong, IF, Baylor Opening Day always has a special feel with the sights, sounds and smells bringing back memories of days gone by. But no one that made their way to Magnolia Field at Baylor Ballpark could have imagined what they would witness in the Baylor Bears first game against New Mexico State. Enter 6-4/228, redshirt senior 1B Tyce Armstrong with his power stroke and flare for the dramatic. Transferring in after a successful career at UT Arlington, the Magnolia, TX native would etch his name in the record books with an incredible day at the plate. Armstrong would hit three grand slams in the game, becoming just the second player in NCAA history to accomplish this feat in a single game. His three home runs tied a program record, and his 12 RBIs set a new standard for the Bears. Beyond that, Armstrong matched the 50-year-old record previously...

NORTHEAST REGION (NY, CT, MA, RI, VT, NH, ME)  The strength of the Northeast Region in 2026 is the number of high ceiling power arms, led by potential upper-90’s throwers in left-hander Brody Bumila and right-hander Bryce Hill.  The depth of quality pitching is such that two of the top pitchers in the 2028 class, right handers Gavin Chakar (Norwalk HS, Conn.) and Dylan Cunningham (Austin Prep, Mass.) didn’t have a spot on the team.  The weakness of the Region is the increasing number of players who leave to play baseball and continue their school work at Academy programs in the South.  Numerous players that fit under that umbrella would have a place on the All-Northeast Region if they weren’t in Florida or the Carolinas.

It was incredible Opening Weekend across the nation with numerous upsets, tightly contested series’ and dominating sweeps. Beyond that, there were generational individual performances, lockdown pitching appearances and record-breaking runs scored as well. It feels like we have been saying this every year for the past decade, but our game is alive and well. More and more programs are getting massive returns on their investments and the fans are turning out in record numbers to see college baseball in its Golden Era. As is typical this time of year, there was very little movement within the poll, in fact, our Top 15 places in the poll remain unchanged. No. 1 LSU (3-0), No. 2 Georgia Tech (3-0) and No. 3 Tennessee (3-0) all took care of business at home, treating their fans to a show of their offensive firepower. No. 16 Coastal Carolina (3-0) and No. 17 UNC (3-0) both had perfect...

The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition. The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner. New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.
