National High School Top 50: April 10

The High School Top 50 remains pretty much the same in terms of the top team in the land, as all of the top 9 from last week retain their spots in the rankings. Valley Christian Schools (Calif.) joins the top 10 at No. 10 and Faith Academy (Ala.) jumps five spots to No. 11 in the country. Six new teams join the rankings and they are as follows: No. 39 Flanagan (Fla.), No. 41 Don Bosco Prep (N.J.), No. 42 Pope (Ga.), No. 44 St. Xavier (Ky.), No. 46 Blanchard (Okla.) and No. 48 Mountain View (Ariz.).

The top 20 has been highlighted by very strong years in both the Texahoma and Southeast regions. Nos. 2 and 3 Lake Travis (Texas) and Argyle (Texas) are both in the midst of strong undefeated seasons in large classifications while San Antonio Reagan (Texas) is at No. 7 and Cypress Ranch (Texas) is at No. 17. The Southeast has been led by two Georgia teams in Blessed Trinity and Parkview at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. Faith Academy (Ala.), Zachary (La.) and John Curtis Christian (La.) round out the top 20 for the Southeast and John Curtis turned heads a couple of weeks ago at the NHSI with an impressive run into the final four.

Midwest and Northeast baseball is underway but due to unprecedented cold weather and rain outs some teams like Saline (Mich.) still haven't gotten a chance to play. Don Bosco Prep and St. Xavier are two teams joining the rankings after hot starts to their seasons represented in these regions. We are approaching the final week of regular season play for most of the Florida and Southeast teams, and the rankings are sure to reflect that as state playoffs get underway. Stay tuned to Perfect Game as there's no better time than high school baseball state playoffs.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 68

Ron Wolforth

Are You Fixated on the Wrong Variable? Why Pitch Count Alone Was Never Going to Prevent Arm Injuries You know a family this happened to. You might be one. They did everything right. They followed the pitch count. They honored the rest days. They tracked innings. They sat him when the chart said sit. They were the parents who spoke up when a coach wanted one more inning in a bracket game. And he got hurt anyway. I've been working with throwers for a long time, and that conversation is the one I have quite often… A parent sitting across from me genuinely bewildered because they followed the rules and the rules did not work. They usually assume they missed something. Most of the time they didn't. They managed exactly what they were told to manage. The problem is that what they were told to manage is one variable out of four. The Uncomfortable Part First Throwing...

Northeast Qualifier Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Another day, another Gavin Greene (‘28 GA) barrel as the @AuburnBaseball commit is now hitting well over .500 on the event #NEQ<ahref="https: pg_scouting?ref_src="twsrc%5Etfw'">@PG_Scouting @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Lf6G8AExjB pic.twitter.com/LFMueYHMxB</ahref="https:> — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) September 14, 2026 Gavin Greene (2028 Alpharetta, GA) played a major factor in AZ Diamondbacks Scout’s Championship run, finishing his weekend with a .528 AVG and 7 RBI. The 5-foot-11, 175 pound Auburn commit was simply a hit machine regardless of who was on the mound, showcasing the ability to handle velo with ease and repeat the stroke at a high level. Starting from a narrow and upright, slightly open base, Greene does a great job of working directly to the point of impact with consistent hard line drive impact to the pull side of the field. He...

PG Softball Des Moines Elite Scouting Showcase

Ashley Mears

Perfect Game Des Moines Elite Scouting Showcase 2026 Indianola. IA Ashley Mears What started off a perfect weather weekend, unfortunately was cut short due to thunderstorms mid-morning on Sunday. In the 18u Division, the Iowa Gold Prospects and the Midwest Speed National Kotzmacher were undefeated. In the 16U Division, 515 Fastpitch Twogood and Iowa Premier Gold- Brower. The tournament featured a ton of solid hitters and pitchers from across the state and Minnesota. Even with the poor weather on Sunday, there was still plenty to see and write about! 18u Division Lexi Adams (2028 Ankeny, IA), a catcher for Iowa Gold Prospects, had a stellar weekend at the plate. Behind the plate, Adams shows strong command of the game and does an excellent job working the zone, using her framing ability to consistently give her pitchers a chance to earn borderline calls. At the plate, Adams starts from a...

South Underclass Qualifier Scout Notes

Geoff Billock

Cole Marquardt (2029, Montgomery, Texas) left no doubt this weekend as he came home with Tournament MVP honors for his work with Banditos 2028 Black. Went 7-10 with a double, a home run, a pair of triples, and the walk off single in the championship game. Projectable left-handed swing with plenty of tools to dream on. Bat to ball was on point all weekend and he had plenty of chances to show off an advanced run tool. Plenty to dream on moving forward. Callen Corley (2028, Houston, Texas) put together a stellar two-way performance for Houston Wildcatters Navy 2028. At the plate, he went 5-10 with a double, triple, and home run, driving in seven runs. Sinks into his lower half well and creates strong angles for leverage. Plenty of power upside remaining in that frame, to go along with the twitch already present. On the mound, Corley went four shutout innings, surrendering just one hit while...

Midwest Labor Day Classic Scout Notes

Brayden Powell

Ryan Jones (2027, Tinley Park, IL) was one of the most productive hitters of the weekend, collecting six hits, including three doubles and a home run, while driving in nine runs. The left-handed hitter consistently got the barrel out front and created hard contact throughout the event. Working from an open setup with high hands, he features a compact swing that allows him to get to the ball quickly. His hand speed stood out and helped him drive the baseball to multiple parts of the field. Jones showed a strong understanding of pitches he could handle and rarely missed opportunities to do damage. The swing remains efficient through the zone and produces carry off the barrel. His combination of consistent contact and extra-base impact made him a key offensive contributor all weekend. Uncommitted JP Elbert (2027, Dubuque, IA) put together an impressive tournament, finishing with five...

’27 OF Jazarris Mackmore Jr. (IL) gets all of this pitch, barreling it deep over the RCF fence. Strong lower half with good separation in the load while staying inside the ball. One of the top uncommitted players in the 2027 class. #BestofMW @ChiScoutsAssoc @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/9OPg902tZX — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) September 12, 2026 Jazarris Mackmore, Jr. (2027, Crete, Ill.) of the Chicago Scouts Association stood out with a physical offensive profile and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways. The uncommitted 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-handed hitter displayed a balanced approach in the box, showing bat speed, natural strength, and a repeatable swing. Mackmore Jr. produced four hits over the weekend while showing the ability to do damage to all fields, including an opposite-field home run. He drove in seven runs while adding three stolen bases....

Southeast Qualifier #1 Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Walk. It. Off! ‘27 IF Drew Giles (GA) calls game here as he hammers a ball over the CF wall for a solo HR to win it in the bottom of the 7th. #FLQualifier pic.twitter.com/YrzspVZzUY — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) September 12, 2026 Drew Giles (2027, Brunswick, Ga.) took home MVP honors from the weekend after hitting .385 including a walkoff home run during pool play. Giles helped lead his Canes team to victory and did so with the bat. The swing is super short and simple and he gets immense jump off the barrel. It’s a level path through the zone but the blend of hit and power showed out all weekend for the MVP. August Backman (2027, Venice, Fla.) had a solid weekend on both sides of the ball: hitting .333 over three games and also sitting 88-91 mph on the mound. Backman, a Florida commit who is nationally ranked, has a three pitch mix highlighted by a really...

Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jason Phillips

Joseph Mosley 2028, Hendersonville, Tenn.) showed the upside all weekend for Southeast Rawlings Mad Mavericks. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a low leg lift stride. Creates separation in the back shoulder with strength through the hands into a flat bat plane and line drive lift in the swing. Stays balanced throughout the swing and showed the feel to use the whole field. The outfielder has an athletic, strong 6-foot, 190-pound frame with more gap-to-gap type power to be unlocked. Collected four hits, including two triples, to drive in an RBI and came around to score three runs. Exciting player with two-way upside. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went two innings in relief with three strikeouts and spread three hits and three walks for one earned run. The fastball ran up to 87 and paired it with...
