Mid-Atlantic Region High School Dream Team

C - Raymond Torres, Sr., Providence HS (N.C.) 
Torres' arm strength and defensive abilities behind the plate have always stood out at PG events, and the LSU commit has seen his offensive abilities develop over time as well, making him one of the better overall catchers in the class. The arm strength and athleticism behind the dish stand out, and as a switch-hitter he's done a very good job consistently adding strength to his game and now shows off some pretty serious pop from both sides of the plate. He's squarely on draft radars this spring. 

1B - Jack Bulger, Jr., Dematha Catholic HS (Md.)
One of the underclassmen on this list, Bulger is a catcher by trade and should be a pretty safe bet to be in the catching spot on this list next year. Regardless, his offensive profile would hold up at any position, as Bulger has consistently shown an advanced approach to go along with big time power from the right side of the plate, and he's consistently produced at the highest level in the process. He's a very solid defensive catcher as well, who has a chance to be an immediate impact type of player at Vanderbilt, where he's committed. 

2B - Jamari Baylor, Sr., Benedictine HS (Va.)
Baylor is a pretty intriguing two-way talent who absolutely has the tools to both pitch and be a middle infielder at the college level. He's an athletic middle infield prospect with very good speed and twitch, showing the tools to potentially play shortstop long term. He's also an extremely intriguing hitter with very good bat speed and the potential for some power. On the mound he's into the low-90s with his fastball and has shown the makings of a dynamic breaking ball as well. 

SS - Jose Torres, Sr., Calvert Hill College (Md.) 
Torres has put on some special hitting displays in the highest-level PG events he's played in over the last year or so, including a 1.438 OPS at the 17u WWBA National Championship and then a 1.471 OPS at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter. A North Carolina State signee, Torres shows seriously impressive hitting tools to go along with some extra base pop, and does a very good job in the middle field, where he projects to be able to stay long term. 

3B - Thomas Keehn, Sr., Dematha Catholic HS (Md.) 
Another player who could fit into the UT category as a two-way talent, Keehn, in addition to being a talented hitter, is into the low-90s on the mound with a solid curveball. Offensively, Keehn shows very good bat speed with excellent strength, looking every bit like a future power-hitting corner infielder. He profiles very well at third base, where he has good hands and range to go along with a very strong throwing arm, which has been clocked into the 90s as well. Keehn is signed with Duke. 

OF - Tyler Demartino, Sr., Walt Whitman HS (Md.)
Demartino has a well-rounded toolset and athleticism that fits well in left field, where he also has the arm strength to play the position. He's also shown the positional versatility to potentially play the corner infield as well. Regardless of position, Demartino, a West Virginia signee, has always hit and there are no signs of that slowing down. He has very good feel for the barrel with plenty of bat speed and physical strength, and looks like he could be an immediate impact bat for the Mountaineers in 2020. 

OF - Alex Urban, Jr., River Bluff HS (S.C.) 
Another underclassman on this list, Urban, a Clemson commit, has shown the potential to be one of the top bats in the class of 2020. A lefthanded hitter with very good physicality, Urban likely fits in an outfield corner long term, but has the arm strength and athleticism to play right field. He has very good pop in that lefthanded bat, and could potentially end up as one of the preeminent power threats in the class as he continues to develop. 

OF - Dylan Rogers, Sr., Dorman HS (S.C.) 
Rogers, who could have gotten the nod at first base as well, will head to Kentucky with some versatility about his profile, with the potential to play corner outfield as well as first base for the Wildcats. He's projected to the be a middle-of-the-order presence at some point as well, with a clean lefthanded stroke and lots of strength that generates good pull side power, and he does a good job handling the barrel in general as well. He's another player on this list who could have immediate impact at their respective college right away next year. 

UT - Alex Greene, Jr., Dematha Catholic HS (Md.) 
A very talented junior, Greene is a legitimate two-way talent who is committed to Virginia. A quality athlete, Greene is a solid runner and defensive outfielder where his arm strength is an absolute weapon, having already been clocked up to 98 mph on his throws. He has a chance to be an impact hitter at the next level as well with an easy swing and loud pop, while on the mound he's been up to 93 mph with his fastball and has shown the makings of a dynamic breaking ball. 

P - Chris Villaman, Sr., Ledford HS (N.C.)
Villaman has long been on the national scouting radar, but he took a pretty significant step at East Coast Pro last summer and is now amongst the highest-priority prep follows for scouts in the Carolinas. He's an athletic lefthander who has been up to 93 mph with his fastball and his breaking ball has improved by leaps-and-bounds over the past couple years, now showing above-average potential with good spin and a lot of depth. He's signed with North Carolina State. 

P - AJ Wilson, Sr., East Surry HS (N.C.) 
Wilson earns the distinction for having one of the better breaking balls in the class, and the rest of his profile is pretty impressive as well. He has some deception to his delivery to go along with athleticism, and has been into the 90s with his fastball consistently while also showing that dynamic slider, a pitch that has been consistently recorded with plus spin by Trackman in PG events. An East Carolina commit, Wilson could be an absolute weapon for the Pirates right away in 2019. 

P - Liam Norris, Jr., Green Hope HS (N.C.) 
One of the top players in the class of 2020 at this juncture, Norris certainly passes the eye test as a big, physical lefty with all the tools to potentially be a frontline starter. The fastball has already been up to 94 mph and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him pitch in the mid-90s this summer, while his curveball, when on, is one of the best breaking balls in the class. Norris possesses sky-high upside and has long been on 2020 draft radars, and could be in store for a huge year. 

P - Collin Bosley-Smith, Jr., Woodrow Wilson HS (D.C.) 
Bosley-Smith really exploded at the PG Top Prospect Games at Maryland this past fall, where he took the mound and worked a consistently 90-93 mph with his fastball and showed the makings of a dynamic breaking ball. He has very good size and is still projectable physically, giving him pretty substantial upside that we're all looking forward to seeing again in 2019. He's committed to Duke. 

P - Alex Edmondson, Jr., Mauldin HS (S.C.) 
Edmondson, who is still quite young for the class of 2020, has long been lauded for his projection, ease of operation, and ultimate upside. Committed to Clemson, Edmondson has a really loose, whippy arm to go along with excellent arm speed and has been up to 93 mph with his fastball already. He's also shown good feel for his breaking ball, a slurvier pitch but one with excellent spin and bite. He's also shown a very good ability to consistently throw strikes, speaking to his athleticism.

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...

West Region High School Sleepers

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Talking and debating sleeper prospects might be my favorite part of scouting. It’s where context, projection, and conviction matter most—whether it’s an underrated performer who keeps producing on the circuit, a raw but explosive athlete you can dream on, or an arm with starter traits that hasn’t quite made the stuff jump yet. These are the players who tend to separate evaluators, reward patience, and make the spring HS season really fascinating. Below are several West Region prospects outside the T100 who fit that mold and deserve serious attention as the spring unfolds. Jet Berry, Queen Creek HS, Arizona There’s a lot to like with Berry. He’s one of the more explosive, twitchy athletes in the country, and it shows consistently in all facets of his game. From a tools perspective his easy plus run and bat-to-ball ability stand out. He’s been a...

Preseason NAIA Top 25

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The 2026 NAIA Baseball Rankings arrive with the familiar weight of expectations and a few fresh storylines that make the new season feel electric from top to bottom. At the very front of the pack, perennial power Tennessee Wesleyan stands tall once again, a program that has turned sustained excellence into something bordering on routine. The Bulldogs are not just ranked highly, they set the tone. Year after year, they combine elite talent, veteran leadership, and a culture that refuses to blink under pressure. It says everything about the depth of this year’s field that it was genuinely difficult not to slide LSU Shreveport back into the top spot yet again. After all, how in the world does a team stay that good after losing so many impact players? The answer is simple and timeless. Success breeds success. Programs that live in championship air know how to reload, not reset, and...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 62

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 62, Part 1 Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls - Part 2  Now, on to Part 2 of our three-part series on baseball's most misunderstood topics. We tackled the curveball. Next up: pitch counts. And in Part 3, we'll address weighted balls, another subject where fear has outpaced reason.   Why these three? Because they share something in common: each has been reduced to a simplistic, one-size-fits-all rule that ignores the complexity of human performance. And in each case, well-meaning people have latched onto these rules as if they're gospel, while the arm injury epidemic continues unabated.  It's time to think more clearly.   Part II: Demystifying Pitch Counts   Let me be clear from the start: I am not anti-pitch count.   Pitch counts are a valuable tool. We use them at...

Monday Morning SoCal Notebook

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Three hitters and three pitchers that really impressed or improved their stock at the Area Code Select at Dodger Stadium.  Gotta start with James Clark as he stole the show offensively, and right out of the gate, with a pull side home run as just the second hitter of the game.  Added a triple to the pull side again, again on the barrel.  Added a single up the middle.  Really showed exceptional feel for the barrel.  Flew out to center field on two occasions, both barreled up pretty well, with one getting lost in the sun.  I’m old and salty, so didn’t give him the double for the cycle, but he was the most impressive bat (easily) on the day.   One of the other position players that impressed, I’ve been somewhat critical of, have spoken with his travel coach a little bit about him behind the plate, but Vista Murrieta catcher Taytum...

Top High School Team by State

As we continue to roll out our Preseason High School content, we look at what teams come into 2026 as the “team to beat” in each state, whether through prior success or talented rosters. Many of these teams will win titles in their respective states, but most are closely followed by other talented teams in their state that will look to take over the label as the “top team in the state” when we update this after the 2026 high school season.
