No. 1 Prospect, 2017: Logan Gilbert, rhp, Orleans (Stetson)
First 2017 Player Selected, 2018 Draft: Joey Bart, c, Harwich (Georgia Tech; Giants/1st round)

Most Valuable Player: MatthewBarefoot, of, Hyannis (Campbell)
Outstanding Pitcher: Adam Laskey, lhp, Wareham (Duke)
Top Pro Prospect (as selected by league): J.J. Bleday, of, Orleans (Vanderbilt)

As we see every summer, the 2018 season on the Cape saw swarms of scouts flocking to Massachusetts as they began their lists for the 2019 June draft. Whether players are from a Power 5 program or a mid-major, they were able to leave their mark as they established themselves among the best. That includes players like J.J. Bleday of Vanderbilt, who took home the league’s Top Pro Prospect award, or Matthew Barefoot of Campbell, who was honored as the league’s MVP after hitting an impressive .379 over 140 regular season at-bats.

Due to the scheduling of the USA Collegiate National Team this summer several players were able to make longer reservations on the Cape this summer, leaving their mark on the league as each of the top four prospects suited up for the Red, White and Blue. The Pac-12 slug-fest last spring between Cal’s Andrew Vaughn and Arizona State’s Spencer Torkelson continued on the Cape as Torkelson blasted 10 home runs while Vaughn countered with five, though his overall hit tool and comfort in the box earned him the top spot on this list.

While the list is position player heavy at the top, West Virginia righthander Alek Manoah made arguably as much noise as anybody this summer, proving to be not only a physical presence at 6-foot-7, 270-pounds, but also one with a big arsenal highlighted by a fastball that topped out at 97 mph. Pitchers are showcased up and down the list, some with big stuff others with advanced pitchability and feel. Adam Laskey of Duke was tabbed the league’s Most Outstanding Pitcher after a big summer on the mound.

At the end of the summer it the Wareham Gatemen who hoisted the Arnold Mycock Trophy, sweeping the championship over the Chatham Anglers. Just as he had all summer, Florida International’s Austin Shenton continued to a hot bat, going 2-for-4 with three RBI in the clincher, allowing head coach Don Sneddon and the Gatemen to bring a championship back to Wareham for the first time since 2012. Shenton was named the PG/Rawlings Summer Collegiate Player of the Year as a result.

Top 30 Prospect Reports

1. Andrew Vaughn, 1b, Wareham (California/JR in 2019)
While he may not have the typical build often associated with first base at 5-foot-11, Vaughn arrived on campus as a primary infielder and could potentially move to a corner outfield position at the next level. Wherever Vaughn eventually calls home defensively there will be no mistaking his abilities with the stick as he has as much of a track record as any in college baseball. Vaughn has done nothing but shine during his first two years at Cal hitting .349-12-50 as a true freshman before taking home the Golden Spikes award last spring after hitting .402-23-63. His swing is geared to an all-fields approach with plenty of barrel skill and lots of strength, showing easy plus raw power while showing an advanced approach at the dish. Simply put, Vaughn is one of the best pure hitters with some of the best strength the 2019 draft class has to offer and he topped it off with an exceptional stint on the Cape in which he hit .306-5-14 prior to his time with USA.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Steve Fiorindo

Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
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...
