April 18 Rankings

In addition to checking in on who the top small school teams are headed into the home stretch, this week’s rankings update checks in on who some of the top individual performers are in each of the three divisions. This includes a forecasting of who will be the top hitter, pitcher and most valuable player at the end of the season. With a month to play, including the crucial postseason, a lot of these honors are still up for grabs (except for D-II Player of the Year, Zack Shannon has that locked up).

If these players continue to crank out the numbers they have so far this season, they could not only lead their teams to an extended postseason run, but they could play themselves out of the college ranks and into the professional ranks based on their play this spring.

Rankings are based on games through Sunday, April 22.


NCAA Division II

Most Outstanding Player
Zack Shannon, Delta State Statesmen
Last season Shannon was the runaway winner of the Tino Martinez Award as D-II Most Outstanding Player.  He led DSU to the Division II Baseball Championships by hitting .434 with 19 home runs and 88 RBI. Those numbers were just a glimpse of what was to come as the Cincinnati native has somehow managed to dial it up to 11 this spring. So far this season Shannon is running away with two-thirds of the D-II triple crown, as his 27 homers are four higher than anyone else and his 79 RBI are 15 more than any other batter.  His .441 batting average is currently 10th in the nation. His prolific power has him slugging at an astonishing 1.050 with an equally amazing .537 on base percentage. Despite his powerful swing, he’s only stuck out 20 times.

Also considered: No one else is even close. Starting putting Shannon’s name on plaques, trophies and marble busts already.

Pitcher of the Year
Chris Vallimont, Mercyhurst Lakers
While first-rate, Chris Vallimont’s 2.33 ERA isn’t particularly dainty, nevertheless, his other pitching numbers are downright awe-inspiring. In 46 1/3 innings, the latest in a long line of Laker aces has only allowed 22 hits to limit opposing batters to an unfathomable .137 batting average. Yet, that statistic isn’t even the most impressive, not by a long shot. Vallimont has incredibly struck out 90 batters this spring to average a robust 17.48 per nine innings, which is tops among all the NCAA divisions and the NAIA. The last time a Laker put up numbers in that neighborhood was when current Seattle Mariner Dan Altavilla became one of the first players from his class to reach the Major Leagues.

Also considered: Tampa’s tandem of Mark Moclair and David Lebron have kept the Spartans in the top five of the rankings all season long. Combined they are 12-2 with six saves and have stuck out 176 batters in 114 2/3 innings. If UT makes it out of the über competitive South Region it would be hard to not give one of them the nod.  Charlie Hecht of Georgia College should deserve consideration too. His numbers on paper aren’t quite as shiny as the other players mentioned, but he throws in the offensive-friendly Peach Belt Conference and has still managed to keep his season ERA at 2.27 and is approaching triple digit strikeouts in only 79 1/3 innings. Cal State Stanislaus' Joe Ryan has earned CCAA Pitcher of the Week honors five times this season. Currently the Warrior ace has a 1.58 ERA, is holding opposition to a .181 batting average with 108 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 85 1/3 innings. 

Most Valuable Player
Logan Browning, Florida Southern Moccasins 
Like Shannon, Browning received rare notice as a non D-I player to make it on the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List. Browning is leading the top-ranked Mocs with a .476 batting average and has only struck out nine times in 103 at-bats. His 11 doubles and three triples also top the team. One the mound the son of the former Cincinnati Reds All Star has earned eight wins in 12 appearances while earning a 2.99 ERA in 72 1/3 innings. Either his offensive or pitching numbers alone would earn him consideration as D-II’s MVP headed into the postseason.

Also considered: Browning is a shoo-in, but mad props must be given to Colorado School of Mines’ Mickey Gangwish. The catcher became the school’s single season leader in the home runs and RBI (currently at 17 and 60 respectively) and is topping the team with a .405 average as they look to usurp Colorado Mesa in the RMAC.

Dropped out: West Florida (24), Wingate (25).

NAIA

Most Outstanding Player
Kiki Menendez, Texas Wesleyan Rams
Menendez is an easy choice as the NAIA’s most outstanding performer as he is currently topping the division in home runs (20), total bases (150) and slugging percentage (.949) and ranks among the top five in RBI and runs per games as well as fifth in batting average at .462. His production has been a big reason the Rams have been able to stay in the top half of Top 25 all year despite it being a tumultuous season for TWU off the diamond. Menendez recently had a school-record 21 game hitting streak which was extinguished in part due to a game being limited to seven innings.

Also considered: Despite playing one of, if not the, most imposing schedules in the NAIA, Georgia Gwinnett’s Walter Coursey has managed to maintain a ridiculous .511 batting average. Those numbers also include eight doubles, five triples and a measly four strikeouts in 141 at-bats. He has also managed to steal 15 bases. Lane Milligan of Oklahoma City has been putting up some baffling numbers of his own. He’s hitting .490 with 13 triples and has batted in 70 Stars this spring.

Pitcher of the Year
Jonathan Bermudez, Southeastern Fire
Bermudez has earned the decision in each game he has thrown this season, earning the win in 12 of 13 appearances. In those outings he has kept his ERA down to a 1.71 mark while fanning 120 batters in 79 innings with only 26 walks. Earlier this spring he earned the first of back-to-back The Sun Conference Pitcher of the Week honors after striking out a program record 18 batters, but bested the performance soon after when he K’d 16 and faced the minimum when he fired a no-hitter against Warner.

Also considered: Despite pitching in a matchbox of a home diamond, Oklahoma Wesleyan’s Tyson Cronin has a 1.24 ERA, has thrown three complete games and is holding opposition to a .212 batting average. LSU Shreveport’s Renny Tolentino is a pitcher no one will hope to face with postseason elimination on the line. He has fanned 108 batters in 75 1/3 while only allowed 39 hits and compiling a 2.51 ERA for the Pilots.

Most Valuable Player
Nelson Mompierre, St. Thomas Bobcats
Mompierre transferred from the University of Missouri where he had led the Tigers in batting last season. His addition as the Bobcat’s backstop as been invaluable as St. Thomas has been cemented in the NAIA’s top three all season long. He is batting .426 and is second in the nation in doubles (22) and RBI (70) and is currently positioned fifth in slugging percentage. Last week he helped STU capture the The Sun Conference regular season title by going 5-for-7 with two runs, six RBI and a home run in the pivotal second and third games of the series.

Also considered: Reese Cooley is the top player on the top team as Faulkner has spent the entire season as the No. 1-ranked club. Cooley is batting .445 and leading the team in runs and home runs. Lyon has been a bit of surprise this season, starting the year unranked, but have been firmly entrenched in the middle of the rankings the past two months. A big part of their success has been the performance of Kylan Barnett who is hitting .384 with 25 extra-base hits.

Dropped out: Cumberland (21), Concordia (23).

NCAA Division III

Most Outstanding Player
Daytona Bryden, Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks
Bryden has wielded the biggest bat on the team destined for another deep run into the postseason. While the senior slugger’s numbers are a bit abbreviated due to UWW’s late start, what he has accomplished in the first 20 games is stunning. He’s currently batting .530 with 10 doubles, five triples and five home runs. The explosive Bryden also has 14 stolen bases and has hit for the cycle twice.

Also considered: Wooster’s Dan Harwood and Michael Wielansky both rank among D-III’s top statistical performers. While Harwood’s production is currently surpassing his teammate’s, Wielansky, the Valley Baseball League’s reigning MVP, also provides nearly flawless defense at shortstop. UMass Boston’s David Murphy had a big season two years ago, but had to miss last season due to injury. He has rebounded admirably, batting .341 with 10 home runs (which is more than Beacon’s opposition this season). He’s also been an invaluable asset in the infield as he has a .981 fielding percentage as the team’s second baseman.

Pitcher of the Year
Danny Serreino, Rowan Profs
Serreino has been astonishing this season, only allowing 17 hits in 48 1/3 innings as he is holding opposition to a .109  batting average. He has also fanned 56 batters, has thrown a pair of shutouts and only allowed a single extra-base hit so far this season. What puts him over the top is the level of competition he has competed against as he’s helped the upstart Profs to wins over UMass Boston, Randolph-Macon and TCNJ. He and teammate Andrew DiPiazza may be the best 1-2 combination in D-III.

Also considered: Tre Thomas of La Roche is just one of many other D-III pitchers currently worthy of being honored as the division’s top hurler. He had a 0.69 ERA and is holding opposition to a .188 batting average. Other worthy candidates include Brian Owens whose presence in the Christopher Newport bullpen has made the Captains a legitimate national title contender. He has made appearances in 24 of the 36 games, compiling 38 1/3 innings in a relief role. While on the mound he has struck out 61 batters while only allowing 21 hits. Spaudling’s Jimi Keating will finish his college career as one of D-III baseball’s top statistical performers. After finishing last season with a 1.62 ERA and 124 K’s, Keating has continued to dominate, going 7-0 with three complete games and 82 K’s in 59 2/3 innings with only 46 hits and 12 walks allowed. A number of other pitchers deserve mad love for their performances so far as well. Just a few include Oswego State’s Robert Donnelly, Greg Schneider of Frostburg State, Mason McMahon from UW La Crosse and Nathan Malinovsky of Texas Lutheran. Apologies to about a dozen other pitchers who were left off this list.

Most Valuable Player
Rocco Maue, Case Western Reserve Spartans 
The Spartans have been a surprise success this season after receiving little national attention in the preseason. CWRU has climbed into the Top 25 with wins over last season’s runner-up, Washington and Jefferson, Cortland and perennial power Emory on their way to a 25-6 record. Those winning boxscores are largely thanks to a breakout performance by second baseman Rocco Maue who is putting up prolific numbers for his position.  He is currently batting .393 while establishing a new school record of 11 home runs while also stealing 19 bases and compiling a soft-handed .975 fielding percentage. Maue only batted .197 while starting 39 of the team’s 40 games last year, which makes his numbers even more impressive as well as a major reason the team has clinched a share of the University Athletic Association Championship.

Also considered: Christopher Newport’s Brian Owens was mentioned as a possible pitcher of the year candidate as he’s thrown mightily in the majority of the Captains’ games. Rafe Chaumette is an offensive powder keg for Trinity with his .393 average, five triples and 12 stolen bases. Ryan Arena is a behemoth once again in the middle of the Babson batting order and Sean Guida has kept Roankoe in the top 10 as he leads the Maroons with a .429 batting average, 14 doubles, five triples and seven home runs.

WC Ghost Claims Arizona All-State Title

Emily Hicks
Article Image
In a championship game that featured strong pitching and sharp defense from both sides, West Coast Ghost AZ 16U pulled away late to defeat Overfly 2028, 5-3, and claim the Arizona All-State Games title. “We had discipline at the plate, on the mound, out in the field; everyone just did their thing. It was good,” said Cash Carmichael The two teams traded runs throughout the 1st and 2nd innings, making it 3-2. Followed by a single run scored at the top of the 4th by Overfly 2028, it remained tied 3-3 for most of the game. Both defenses made key plays to limit scoring opportunities, turning potential rallies into outs and keeping the pressure high in every inning. With the game deadlocked heading into the bottom of the sixth, West Coast Ghost AZ finally broke through. Bottom of the 6th, J. Haizen Reidhead recorded a single, Oren Tucker walked, and Josiah Shim was hit by pitch....

Coastal Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Wyatt Smitherman (2028, Durham NC) had a solid day at the plate for USA Prime Triangle 16u Stars in their matchup against the Charlotte Colts. The 5-foot-11, 160-pound shortstop has a tall athletic frame. The left handed batter displayed a mature approach at the plate. Attacks fastballs and drives them with authority. He has quick hands and gets the barrel through the zone. Uses his lower half to his advantage creating enough torque to generate his power he shown. Smitherman finished the day going 1-for-3 with a home run and 4 RBI. Zachary Days (2028, Charlotte NC) had a impressive day at the plate for the Charlotte Colts against USA Prime Coastal. The 6-foot-3, 170 pound center fielder has a tall athletic frame. Days bats from the left side with a short but powerful swing. Very disciplined during his AB’s and applies pressure on the defense. He shifts his weight to his lower half...

Weather Can't Delay Top Tier Victory

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
A seven-run first inning gave Top Tier Roos American Red 2027 all the momentum they needed Sunday morning, but the road to a Florida World Series championship was far from straightforward.  After jumping out to an early lead against WBC 17u, Top Tier endured a 3 ½-hour rain delay before returning to finish off a 9-1 victory at Lee Health Sports Complex.  The championship game, which began at 8 a.m. and did not conclude until nearly 1 p.m., ended in the bottom of the fifth inning under Perfect Game’s mercy-rule format. Top Tier’s dominant performance was powered by a complete-game effort from Christian Davis and an offense that erupted for seven runs in the first inning.  Not even hours of uncertainty and lightning delays could keep Top Tier from finishing what they started.  Davis started on the mound for Top Tier and remained the entire five...

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC West Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Steve Fiorindo

Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

WWBA East Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands.

AZ All-State Ready to Take Place

Emily Hicks
Article Image
This weekend, eight teams will head to Goodyear Ballpark for the 2026 PG Arizona All-State tournament, setting the stage for what should be an exciting few days of baseball. With teams traveling from across the city, the field will be packed with talent and plenty of championship contenders. Among the teams competing in 16U are AZ Select, Marucci Athletics 2028 Grannis, Overfly 2028, Phoenix Phillies, Team Dinger 2028, T-Rex East Valley, USA Scout Team AZ 16U, and West Coast Ghost AZ 16U. Each team enters the weekend with its own strengths and goals, creating several intriguing storylines to follow throughout pool play and bracket action. One of the biggest teams to watch this weekend will be 10-10, T-Rex East Valley.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...
