College Notebooks: April 27 | April 28 | Weekend Preview | College Player Database

During the season Perfect Game scouts will be traveling to some of the top series to watch the very best players in college baseball. Those observations, captured with both written notes and video, will be shared in the College Player Database as linked above, notes that can also be accessed on the players' individual PG profile pages. Throughout the season select reports will be shared in feature format to promote the players, the teams and college baseball as a whole.
 

Rayne Supple, RHP, Wake Forest



Wake Forest junior Rayne Supple was the first man out of the bullpen but took the game into the ninth with 3 2/3 innings and earning the win on Sunday. Supple offers a power option out of the bullpen with his combination of fastball and slider that were both strong offerings during the game. 

The arm path features a plunge through the back and releases from a higher arm slot which allows him to create plane and sinking life on the fastball to either side with intent and authority. The fastball sat from 92-94 mph during the performance and while he mostly worked to the arm side but he could flash some command to the glove side of the plate. The arm speed and athleticism all jump out on the mound, speaking to the level of fastball projection that still remains for the young prospect. 

The slider was a consistently average pitch while flashing above-average a number of times during the start. The pitch was at it's height when buried in the dirt after falling off the table, however he could also throw the pitch for strikes as well. Supple tunneled the pitch well and created some deception as it looked similar to the fastball out of the hand which allowed him to rack up some ugly whiffs. 

The main issue with Supple is his fringe strike-throwing ability. He walked five batters in three and two-thirds innings during the game, and has a good amount of walks on the year. There was a notice of sometimes that Supple couldn't get his arm across in time and would miss up and to the arm side. The stuff plays with two future above average pitches in the arsenal, and although he didn't show a third offering it would be interesting to see if he has one to perhaps project Supple as a starter moving forward should he cut down on the walks. 


Colin Peluse, RHP, Wake Forest



Sophomore righthander Colin Peluse got the start looking to salvage game three on the road for the Demon Deacons. Peluse and Saturday starter Morgan McSweeny form a formidable sophomore duo for Wake Forest that should garner lots of attention from the professional scouting community come next spring. 

Peluse is extremely physical at 6-foot-3, 230-pounds with a barrel-chested, strong-looking frame that allows allows him to command a lot of stamina on the bump. The delivery has some checkpoints but he has athleticism to the motion and a very quick arm stroke. 

As far as the stuff goes, Peluse used all three of his pitches fairly regularly, with the fastball being his pitch to attack with the most often. The fastball worked up to 94 mph but mostly in the 91-93 mph with significant running life to the arm side. He commands the pitch well, especially so when working to the arm side, as he pounded the inside corner against righthanded hitters often, also being the outside for lefties. 

Peluse features a hard changeup in the 84-86 mph range thrown with similar arm speed and a power curveball in the 79-83 mph range. The breaking ball slowed down a bit as he went on, hanging it higher, but the pitch flashed average when working early in the game. Peluse seems to be a key piece for the 2019 class and the righthander throws strikes well and delivered four and two-thirds strong innings. 


Tristin English, RHP, Georgia Tech



Tristin English was a highly touted prospect out of Pike County High School in Georgia before his time with the Yellow Jackets, and the righthanded pitcher has experienced a rough go during his first two years on campus which featured a medical redshirt and some injuries. He has pitched for the first time in a Georgia Tech uniform this spring and still shows the tools and talent of what made him a very impressive prospect in the prep ranks. 

The righthander has a pretty clean and athletic delivery, with a simple and repeatable takeback and gets downhill fairly effectively. English's fastball worked mostly in the 90-92 mph range during the start while bumping 93 mph a couple of times and creating some heavy arm-side run when locating over to the arm side. English's best command of the afternoon came when working to the arm side, and wasn't afraid to run the fastball up at times if he needed to. 

English showed four distinct pitches during the afternoon, the slider being his go-to secondary pitch. The offering was a fringy pitch, in the 80-82 mph range, he flashed one that he spiked at 85 mph, with short biting life to it. From this scout's perspective he held onto the pitch a bit long at times, which aided him when locating off the plate to righthanded hitters but rattled off a couple with significant tilt that resulted in swings-and-misses. 

He didn't use the changeup often, only a handful of pitches, but the pitch showed significant arm-side life and was effective against both hitters of the same and opposite handedness. English also showed a curveball in the 74-77 mph range that was mostly used as a get-me-over strike pitch, but showed more power when he threw it harder. 

English is a two-way prospect as well with a .299 batting average on the year, but it is certainly a good sign to see English on the mound and throwing with feel for all of his pitches. He certainly has a chance to go in this year's draft, although his professional future likely lies on the mound.

LSU Reloads & Returns; Opens No. 1

“How do you get to success? You have to honor the process that you built to get to that success…The standard is how we operate, train, and get better each day.”” Process-oriented leadership is a popular coaching strategy here in the mid-2020s but no one exemplifies that more than LSU head coach Jay Johnson. He’s won the Tigers two national titles during his time in Baton Rouge and expectations won’t be any lower in 2026 as LSU is the No. 1 team in the country in Perfect Game’s Preseason Top 25.  Johnson is heading into his fifth season at the helm in Baton Rouge and it’s fair to say that he has already experienced enormous success. There have been two national titles in four years (2023, 2025), a Golden Spikes winner (Dylan Crews, 2023), a first overall MLB Draft pick (Paul Skenes, 2023), and five first-round MLB Draft picks during...

2026 Preseason Top 25

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
With an interesting and action-packed fall behind us, a new college season is just around the corner. The college game continues to prove it is alive and well as the Division 1 team count has now ballooned to 308 teams for the 2026 season. With new legislation allowing teams 5-weeks to prepare for opening day, many student athletes have returned to campus and will begin skill related workouts soon. Opening Day, as usual, will fall on Valentine’s Day weekend and it is just six weeks away. After a fall of evaluation and months of research and discussion, we are ready to release our annual Perfect Game pre-season Top 25 poll. After winning 53-games, hosting the NCAA Regional and Super Region, and sweeping their way through the College World, the LSU Tigers will debut the 2026 season as our No.1 ranked team. Head coach, Jay Johnson, has now led the Tigers to two national titles in the...

The transfer portal, JUCO gems, 6th year waivers and impact freshman; following the college game and figuring out rosters is basically a fulltime job nowadays. This is the new norm, and while the baseball purist may not like it, the college game has never been more exciting. It looks like 2026 is shaping up to be an incredible season with the balance of power seemingly spread out evenly from coast to coast. Like we seem to say every year, the depth and quality of talent has never been better, and the 2026 Perfect Game Pre-Season All-American teams will attest to that fact.With the 2026 College Baseball season is just around the corner, the Perfect Game college staff will have you loaded with coverage heading into the new year.

At 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, Boesen looks the part of a middle of the order type slugger and he's just that, showing lots of looseness and bat speed in his left-handed stroke and is coming off a Jupiter where he hit .700 (!!) as an underclassman while driving in 10 runs. The bat-to-ball skills are obvious as he simply hit at all the big stops in 2025,...

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...

MLB Mock Draft: January 9

As we turn the calendar to 2026, we move one step closer to draft day. With the lottery behind us and the order now set, we wanted to take one final stab at a preseason mock draft before players take the field. The talent at the top of this class stands out and feels as deep as it has been in quite some time. There is solid depth in the first round, with real value extending later into the round. While things are certain to shift once the season gets underway, this is how we see things going for now.  1.  Chicago White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA The White Sox come away with one of the most polished profiles in the class and one of the better draft prospects we’ve seen in a while. Cholowsky gives Chicago a high-level college shortstop with a refined offensive approach, quality in-game power, and advanced defensive actions. There’s a strong blend of floor and...
