16U WS Qualifier: Day 2 Notes

Jered Goodwin
Parker Fronk

16u PG World Series Qualifier: Day 1 Notes

Sean Hermann (2021, Valrico, Fla.) is a 6-foot-1, 155-pound righthanded pitcher who took the mound for Ostingers 2021 Reed Friday morning.  He worked out of the stretch during his outing and maintain velocity, 82-85 mph from a low three-quarters slot, throughout his outing. He has a whippy arm action and a quick shoulder, with deception created by a unique front glove turn.  His best offering was a slider that was up to 77 and got a number of swing and misses. It showed depth and hard 10-4 break. He threw 3 2/3 innings while striking out seven and not giving up a hit or free pass.  The University of South Florida commit was in command his entire outing.

Kristopher Sosnowski (2021, Lithia, Fla.) showed big upside with a strong build that will continue to produce more velocity as he learns to get over his front side consistently. His fastball had life and produced mid-80s velocity throughout his outing.  He started landing a slider in his second inning of work and produced a lot of weak contact from the pitch.  Sosnowski added a hard, line drive single to round out a very impressive day for the uncommitted prospect.

Damaal Sands (2020, Nassau, N.W.) is a pretty polished 5-foot-11 shortstop who plays for the Bahamas Spartans.  He has a high waist and long arms that you can see filling out nicely as he develops. He has present quick-flick in his bat and showed a competitive nature during his at bats.  While Sands gets more game reps, it’s to see an upward development pattern.  Defensively he moved lightly, with a good first step, and maintained a consistent approach through the groundballs hit his way.  His throws had carry on them and he made multiple movement plays throughout Friday’s game.

Ajani Cumberbatch (2020, Nassau, N.W.) is a 6-foot, 186-pound righthanded hitter who has very good raw bat speed.  He is strong with a barrel chest and looks the part of a top tier athlete.  He swings with intent and showed some feel for the barrel as he took an outer half fastball and drove it hard to the right-center field fence, for a standup double. He is a bat that needs to be followed closely.

Thomas Allen (2021, Valrico, Fla.) had a very nice day at the dish going 3-for-3 with an RBI for Ostingers 2021 Mondoux.  He has a classic athletic body, with wide shoulders and a proportioned lower half. He has noticeably strong forearms that produce a quick bat, short and direct to the baseball.  He is a smooth runner and was aggressive on the base paths on Friday.  The bat-to-ball skills are easy to see.

Kaleb Sierra (2020, Tampa, Fla.) has a small athletic frame, listed at 5-foot and 100 pounds, turned in a great performance on the mound.  He has a low three-quarters arm slot, short and quick on the backside, and repeats his delivery and release point well.  His fastball has arm-side run and he mixed a big breaking 11-5 curveball and a changeup that he pronates well with long fade.  He used all three pitches Friday morning to go 4 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out three batters for Game Time Prospects Black.

Trenten Caples (2021, Chuluota, Fla.) took the mound on Friday for Power Baseball 2021 Gold and did not disappoint.  He is a 6-foot righthanded pitcher that has elite feel for his fastball, commanding it to all four quadrants.  He did a nice job of mixing and 82-83 sinker to both sides of the plate and then running 84-85 mph fastball to the top of the zone, late in counts.  His breaking ball got better as the outing went along and peaked at 72, and it will continue to get better as he learns to throw it with intent. Caples went five innings on Friday, striking out nine batters while not giving up a walk.  He threw strikes on 78 percent of his pitches which speaks the fastball command mentioned. He will need to be followed very closely as his velocity continues to tick upward.

Jaxon Copeland (2020, Casselberry, Fla.) The Florida Grinders shortstop put on a show on Friday afternoon.  His 5-foot-11 frame is well proportioned and can add easy strength.  He looks the part of a very good middle infield prospect at the next level.  His lateral range was tested often as he showed fluidity and quickness to both his forehand and backhand.  He made a great play ranging to his left, sliding to pick up a sharply hit ground ball, and in one motion popped up, transferred, and changed arm angles to make a firm and accurate throw to get a close out at first.  He plays very hard, added two hits offensively, and shows upside on both sides of the ball.  He should not be uncommitted for long.

Carlito De Jesus (2022, Brandon, Fla.) had a nice day today for the Warriors Baseball 2021 club on Friday. He is a 6-foot-1 catcher that has loose hips and showed above average blocking and receiving skills.  The young backstop displayed his offensive upside during the contest, hitting balls hard in all three at bats.  His line was 2-for-3, one hit being a long double down the left field line.  As De Jesus gets strong and the arm continues to develop, he should develop into a very good power hitting catcher down the road.

Luke Valenchis (2022, Hollywood, Fla.)  has a wiry-athletic 5-foot-11 frame, with slender hips and plenty of room to add good weight.  He saved his best inning of Friday’s contest for the last one. Playing for the OAGWUW-Riot, the game was all square at four, heading into the last frame.  Hitting out of the leadoff spot, Luke hit a hard single over the shortstop’s head to score the go-ahead run in the top half of the inning. He followed that with an over-the-shoulder catch, with two out and a runner in scoring position, to complete the win.  He also added a run and a walk earlier in Friday’s game.

Luca Oberndorfer (2022, West Palm Beach, Fla.) came out of the pen and gave Central Florida Play Hard three quality innings. He only allowed three hits and had his fastball at 81 mph with a lot of movement. He also used his 12-6 curveball quite often when he was ahead in the count that was 68-70 mph. Oberndorfer has a very athletic build and uses a very quick delivery while he is on the mound. He commanded the bottom half of the zone and produced a lot of groundouts. Behind the plate for Oberndorfer was Shalor O’Bryant (2021, Lake Wales, Fla.) O’Bryant crushed a double and went 1-for-2. He looked very comfortable and confident at the plate.

Uncommitted center fielder Donovan Dubisson (2021, Gibsonton, Fla.) laced a triple to left-center and later scored. Dubisson, who looked comfortable at the plate all day found a gap late in the game to add some runs for the GameTime Prospects Orange. He has great speed as he runs down balls easily in center field. Dubisson, who will continue to get bigger and stronger, is looking to continue to drive the ball to both gaps this summer.

Club 750 Elite-Pro’s first baseman Nick Pasquale (2023, Longwood, Fla.) looked solid at the plate. Standing at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he has a very strong stance as he stands in the righthanded box. Going 2-for-3 with hard hit balls every at-bat. Pasquale has a strong arm over in the hot corner throwing out runners with ease. Pasquale will continue to develop as a baseball player and improve both defensively and offensively.

Zeth Rodriguez (2021, Spring Hill, Fla.) has looked phenomenal in every aspect of the game. He makes playing shortstop look super easy with his great hands and strong arm and he is able to get to balls easy in the holes. Rodriguez, who is uncommitted, has a very athletic build with very strong legs. He has a slightly opened stance in the box and uses his fast hands to get into the zone quickly, while staying through the ball very well. He is a line drive hitter that stays in the middle of the field and he has good pull side pop. Rodriguez played behind righthander Sebastian Martinez (2021, Tampa, Fla.). Martinez ran his fastball up to 86 mph, with a curveball at 72 mph. Martinez threw two innings of shutout baseball, with three strikeouts.

Orlando Lookouts Baseball Club’s third baseman Dennis Santiago (2020, Orlando, Fla.) looked stellar at the plate. He went 2-for-3 with a run scored and played good defense. Santiago drove a ball to deep right field that ended up hopping over the wall for a ground rule double. He also had no problem going the other way in his later at bat. Santiago has a slightly open stance and has an athletic build.

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

2025 Year in Review: College

Craig Cozart
Article Image
The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory. PG Second-Team All-American, Jared Jones was the heart of the lineup with his 20...

Cam McElwaney

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back. Two Top-10 Picks in the MLB Draft Headline National Players of the Year It was another loaded crop that took home the National Players of the Year as both Ethan Holliday, the National Player of the Year, and Seth Hernandez, National Pitcher of the Year, heard their names called within the first-10 picks in the MLB Draft. Another first...

Top 2027 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Isaiah Burrows
Article Image
With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses. We have already dropped our 2028 Top 75 collegiate prospects board, but this one is our Top 100 college prospects who will be eligible for the 2027 class. These are the Top 100 players in our eyes for this group, and many of them have already shown up on campus and been impactful in many ways. Whether its our top-ranked player in Oregon State’s Dax Whitney or ninth-ranked William Schmidt...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...
