| 2019




2017 Perfect Game/Rawlings Finest in the Field, Class of 2020

Pitcher: Masyn Winn (Kingwood HS, Kingwood, Texas)
Winn is an outstanding athlete, a true two-way talent with a lightning quick arm and the athleticism to play in the infield, and that allows him to be very agile on the bump. His athletic and up-tempo delivery allows him to quickly move on the mound, and because there isn’t a ton of effort to the overall motion, Winn can react instantly to contact. The athleticism truly stands out for Winn, which is why he is able to be an asset defensively in the middle infield.

Timmy Manning (Cardinal Gibbons HS, Pompano Beach, Fla.) and Brody Drost (Barbe HS, Sulphur, La.) are two other strong two-way types for the class with excellent athleticism that move well both on the mound and in the outfield.

Catcher: Alek Boychuk (Mill Creek HS, Buford, Ga.)
The physicality is what stands out at first glance for Boychuk as the 6-foot-1, 205-pound backstop is truly advanced with strength and stature; however he has one of the more understated defensive games in the country. The South Carolina commit has excellent wrist strength with very quiet hands to stick pitches well. Boychuk’s presence behind the plate is tops in the country as he also was consistently catching some of the top-ranked arms in the class such as Liam Norris and Alex Edmondson to lead Team Elite Prime to a very strong summer. Boychuk’s maturity behind the dish is absolutely what stands out and when you factor in all of the other tools – the athleticism and arm strength to name a few – he is a very well-rounded defensive presence.

There were no shortage of standout defensive catchers this past year and one of the names that jumps out is Drew Romo (The Woodlands HS, The Woodlands, Texas). Romo shows outstanding tools behind the dish and had a very good year for the Banditos.

First Base: Kellum Clark (Jackson Academy, Jackson, Miss.)
Boychuk’s teammate on the aforementioned Team Elite Prime team, Clark is a standout defender at first base with very impressive and athletic extensions to go along with great hands on balls in the dirt. The Mississippi State commit is a very big 6-foot-4, 221-pound target over at first base and has a good feel for the fundamentals of the position. Clark’s athleticism stands out around the bag and he is as sure-handed as they come.

Middle Infield: Robert Moore (Shawnee Mission East HS, Leawood, Kan.)
Arguably the most advanced defensive player in the class is the third member of the Team Elite Prime team as Robert Moore manages to stand out defensively at nearly every event he attends. The actions at shortstop are incredibly smooth with tremendous footwork and his motions exude such confidence. The uncommitted defender consistently shows his top-flight instincts and agility in the field and it is always clear that he is in control of a defense. Moore will only continue to improve as he adds strength and physicality to the frame.

Middle Infield: Mac Horvath (Century HS, Rochester, Minn.)
There are a multitude of two-way talents at this age, such as the aforementioned Masyn Winn, and Horvath might be the best such player in the nation. The North Carolina commit is an excellent runner, recording a 6.64-second 60-yard dash time at the Junior National, and that speed allows him to range very well to both sides while in the field. Horvath has plenty of twitch and athleticism to his actions with present foot quickness and balance that are strong qualities for a shortstop.

Jordan Carrion (American Heritage HS, Miami, Fla.) and Jordan Andrade (Yucaipa HS, Yucaipa, Calif.) are two other middle infielders who had very strong years. Carrion is a consistently impressive athlete at the position, routinely making flashy and rangy plays while Andrade has some of the best pure fundamentals and tools in the infield.

Third Base: Ethan Long (Mountain Pointe HS, Gilbert, Ariz.)
With some of the most impressive arm strength in the entire class, Ethan Long’s arm is one of the biggest tools in the country. He has been recorded up to 96 mph from across the infield, and 97 mph from the outfield, and the plus arm strength allows him to make very impressive plays by a wide margin.

Cayden Wallace (Greenbrier HS, Greenbrier, Ark.) and Jared Jones (La Mirada HS, Whittier, Calif.) are other impressive defensive third baseman with tremendous arm strength as both have been in the low-90s when on the mound.

Outfield: Enrique A. Bradfield, Jr. (American Heritage HS, Hialeah, Fla.)
One of the most dynamic and impressive athletes in the entire class is Bradfield. The recent Vanderbilt commit routinely turns in plus run times from the left side of the plate and that athleticism plays very well in center field. Bradfield has excellent instincts and route running while the speed allows him to glide to batted balls in the outfield and that range makes him one of the premier defenders in the class.

Outfield: Austin Hendrick (West Allegheny HS, Oakdale, Pa.)
The No. 1 player in the class is also an outstanding defender as Hendrick is a very advanced defensive outfielder. The recent Mississippi State commit has very good athleticism and is a sure-handed gloveman. Hendrick is about as consistent and impressive as you can hope from an outfielder with excellent route-running abilities along with tremendous foundational tools.

Outfield: Trejyn Fletcher (Trinity-Pawling HS, Portland, Maine)
Fletcher is another hyper athlete who performs tremendously in the outfield. The arm strength is top notch with 90 mph throws from the outfield and a fastball that tops out at 92 mph. The speed stands out as well with a 6.66 second 60-yard dash time. The Vanderbilt commit’s rare combination of elite speed and arm strength is obviously extremely helpful toward being an elite defender, however Fletcher deserves a lot of credit for being a consistent and able defender and utilizing the tools to be an impressive fielder.

Dylan Crews (Lake Mary HS, Longwood, Fla.) and Brandon Fields (Dr. Phillips HS, Orlando, Fla.) are two other impressive athletes with keen defensive skills in the outfield.

Utility: Alex Greene (Dematha Catholic HS, Edgewater, Md.)
Two-way players have been a strong theme for this defensive list and Alex Greene is another who is impressive both on the mound and off it. The Virginia commit’s 96 mph arm from the outfield is second in the class, only to the aforementioned Long, and is an extremely potent weapon. When you also factor in the athleticism he shows in the outfield, Greene is an easy choice for the list.

Nate Wohlgemuth (Owasso HS, Owasso, Okla.) also deserves recognition for his impressive arm strength and abilities defensively as well.

High speed look at the FF-SL-CH from '27 RHP Liam McGeady (OH)... #NatElite @PG_OhioValley @Cincy_Legends https://t.co/hhoDL7DBbi pic.twitter.com/Ts79GLPGoU — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 12, 2026 Liam McGeady (2027, Liberty Township, Ohio) had the stuff working on Saturday morning, getting the start for Legends Scout 2027. The uncommitted right-hander ran it up to 91 and sat 88-90 with a full starter’s mix. All three of the secondaries played well and project moving forward. The curveball worked in the mid-70s with good depth and healthy shape. The slider operated in the 79-82 range with gyro spin and short break. McGeady rounded out the repertoire with a changeup that showed big fade and depth, proving effective versus lefties. He ended the outing going five ⅔ innings, allowing no earned runs on four hits, striking out six total. The tall and long 6-foot-5,...

2027 Mock Draft: Way Too Early Ediition

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
With the 2026 MLB Draft officially complete, let's quickly turn our eyes to the 2027 group and do a way too early mock draft. Leading the way is shortstop Brendan Lawson out of the University of Florida, setting the trend as three of the top four names all call shortstop home with Dylan Seward and Carter Hadnot. If shortstops aren't your thing for any which reason, maybe hard throwing left-handers tickle your fancy whether it be prep Connor Salerno, Tomas Valincius from Mississippi State or Dylan Volantis, a dominant arm from the University of Texas.  Pick Team Name Pos.

14u BCS Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Austin Way (2030, Yulee, FL) was 2-3 in game four, driving in a run and scoring once himself. Picked it well defensively at shortstop but really showed out in the box today. Works the barrel path to the middle of the field and whips the barrel through the zone. The RHH creates lift in the turn, and the ball jumps off the bat hot.  Sutton Walling (2029, Ponte Vedra, FL) is an athletic 5’11/160lb infielder who gets it done on both sides of the ball. Dominated at the plate right behind his teammate Way in the batting order going 3-3 with two doubles. He does a really good job with the barrel accuracy and works through contact with heavy hands. Lots of project-ability in the profile and is having a sneaky great week at the plate. Banks Kennedy (2030, Arcadia, FL) received it well behind the dish and was the leading force in this one driving in three rbis. He ended up going 2-3...

2026 MLB Draft: Day One Recap

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Storylines Heavy College Run Early We came into the day knowing that there were a lot of talented college players at the top of the board, more specifically college bats. That came to light very early in the day, as we saw just two prep players selected within the first ten picks. The college preference lasted throughout most of the entire first round. Nearly 75% of the first 40 selections were college players. It is clear teams want players at the top of the draft that can quickly get through the system and help the big league club as soon as possible. Underslot Strategy Throughout this cycle, we knew that once you get past the first handful of picks the difference in value you were getting for let say pick ten was not that difference compared to pick 30. Because there was a large collection of players that are relatively close in value, teams were looking to get creative. We saw this...

Final 2026 MLB Mock Draft

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
It's draft day and that means it's time for our final Mock Draft with the 2026 group. 1. Chicago White Sox | Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA It’s between Roch and Grady Emerson at this pick, though there have been heavy rumors of a very late deal potentially with another top 5 pick. This boils down to negotiations and we think that they will get there.  2. Tampa Bay Rays | Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (Tex.) If Grady isn’t the first pick then he is almost certain to be the second pick. The Rays like to get creative but Emerson is a well worth prospect in his own right.  3.  Minnesota Twins | Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This is likely the floor for Roch Cholowsky, though the Twins might prefer Lackey to Roch outright. They are thought to be in on the top college players with Emerson a distant third.  4. San Francisco Giants | Jackson Flora, RHP, UC...

Ohio Valley Regional Scout Notes

‘28 INF Christian Ramirez (OH) WALKS IT OFF for @CincyDBulls2028 to win the chip! Has shown impressive tools throughout the weekend and in this AB showed the ability to adjust to the offspeed and win the game. #OVElite pic.twitter.com/J3MXJXFnbM — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 5, 2026 Christian Ramirez (2028, Mason, Ohio) helped his team win the championship batting out of the two-hole. Though he didn’t win tournament MVP, Ramirez was my favorite player to watch take a plate appearance. He has an advanced feel for the zone and sees the ball out of the pitcher’s hand quicker than most. Ramirez led the tournament with eight walks, batting .375 with a .583 on-base percentage. Much more than just the approach, the swing is efficient with little wasted movement, creates quality separation, and puts him in an excellent position at contact. With such an...

Cape Cod Notebook No. 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cape Cod League Scouting Notebook  Maverick Rizy | Ole Miss | RHP | Brewster Whitecaps  The towering 6-foot-9, 250-pound right-hander continues to stand out with one of the more unique looks on the Cape, pairing a massive frame with a low three-quarter slot that creates difficult angles for hitters. While his fastball velocity was down from its typical mid-90s range during this look, working mostly 90-92 mph, it still generated plenty of swing-and-miss. He paired the heater with an 81-83 mph gyro slider featuring tight bullet-spin action and mixed in an 85-mph changeup with quality separation. Rizy battled his command early in the outing I saw, before settling in to strike out five over three innings, showing the ability to adjust as the game progressed. Through 12.2 Cape League innings, he has recorded 18 strikeouts, and his combination of size, deception, and projectability...
