WWBA Southeast Qualifier #1: Daily Leaders




Waiting around for the late game of the evening on Friday, the East Coast Lumberjacks brought out Marist commit Brian Yetter (2020, McVeytown, Pa.) to the mound in a game one starting role. Yetter was extremely impressive, sitting at 87-90 mph with his fastball, sinking it when pitching to the lower third of the strike zone as well. The Marist commit blew the fastball by hitters on a consistent basis and filled up the strike zone at an outstanding rate. His 62 percent strike percentage was highlighted heavily on his fastball but he did flash a breaking ball as well with sharpness to it in the upper-70s when thrown with conviction. The righthander from central Pennsylvania tossed a run-rule shortened no-hitter going five innings and tallying up a remarkable 11 strikeouts.

The ball comes out easily out of Yetter’s hand not appearing to exert too much effort into his operation. The windup is fluid and the lower half gets good drive off of the rubber as he gets downhill. He lived down in the zone more often than not and creating that natural sinking life that his fastball displays. His curveball grades as a 30 on a professional grading scale, but there is no reason to believe that one could not project a 50-grade breaking ball as he continues to develop and refine his craft.

Two weeks in a row Antonio Gleaton (2020, Atlanta, Ga.) was the fastest player in attendance at the East Cobb Complex. Friday night, Gleaton laid down a bunt single batting from the left side and burned down the line for an incredible 3.76 second jailbreak home-to-first time. His in-game speed is at the top of his class. The Citadel commit can handle to barrel in the Upstate Mavericks ST lineup as well. He hit .667 for his team this weekend, spraying the ball to all fields and manipulating the barrel from the right side as well as the left side. His compact swing, barrel skills and contact-oriented approach, as well as his impact speed, make him a game-changing player for the Mavericks.

Uncommitted righthander Landon Lewis (2020, Chattanooga, Tenn.) was an impressive pitcher from the weekend’s event as he pitched eXposure Upperclass Scout Team to a 5-1 victory on Friday evening. Lewis is a big, physical pitcher with a fastball that sits in the upper-80s and developing off-speed offerings. His arm is loose and he throws with some effort, but when on time and in sync with his mechanics he is really dominant on the bump. This outing he struck out a batter and inning getting plenty of swings and misses with his fastball that showed life when located at the knees. He did find bats but by spreading his three hits over his four innings of work, Lewis was able to avoid any trouble and pitch his team to a first game victory. As he continues to refine his craft on the mound, the breaking ball as well as his straight changeup will become more refined and he will see results with added swings and misses from opposing hitters.

Top 100 player in the 2020 class, Brad Grenkoski (2020, Kennesaw, Ga.), had a huge day in Saturday’s action of play. Started by his pair of home runs to his pull side in game one of the day, Grenkoski got the bat head out in front and created extension as well as separation to put two no-doubt home runs out to left field. Each came on pitches that were left out over the heart of the plate with one being a hanging breaking ball and the other being a fastball left down the middle. Grenkoski has elite tools and the game comes so easy to the 6-foot-4, 200-pound two-way standout. The Georgia Tech commit was able to showcase multiple tools on Saturday including the obvious juice in his bat, his strong arm in the outfield and his ability to run the bases at an advanced level. He added to his monster weekend by earning the tournament MVP award notching his home run total on the weekend to three after a big fly in the championship game of the tournament as well.

For the second week in a row Ben Johnson (2020, Tucker, Ga.) showed just what scouts wanted to see as he continues to work back from an injury that set him back a few months ago. The Georgia Southern commit did not quite have the plus command that he showed last week, but the stuff this week, especially the changeup, seemed more pure and could see more potential out of it. His fastball sat at 85-88 mph and he will get to the side of it at times causing some command issues. The curveball is a bit slow in the upper-60s but did get opposing to hitters to swing through it. The changeup at 75-76 was the out pitch during this start flashing hard fading action at times for swings-and-misses. He has the ability to throw the pitch to hitters of either handedness effectively. Johnson finished his start going four innings with five punchouts, three hits and three walks.

Coming in relief for Johnson was North Carolina commit James Triantos (2022, McLean, Va.). The two-way talent from Virginia filled up the strike zone with a loose arm that produces a fastball at 85-88 mph with plenty more to come in the future. Triantos has a quick and loose arm while working downhill to the plate. The North Carolina commit out of the state of Virginia pounded the zone in this look using a fastball-curveball combination that each had plenty of movement. The fastball is lively to arm side and the breaking ball is sharp in the low- to mid-70s. Triantos is a really interesting young righthander on the mound and can swing the bat as well. His primary position is shortstop and this weekend playing for East Cobb Baseball the UNC commit played third base and hit in the fifth spot in the order. His swing is quick with easy bat speed and fast hands to the point of contact. Triantos collected his fair share of walks while also barreling the baseball for a hard-hit single in the first game for East Cobb.

Jackson Ritchey (2020, Huntingdon, Pa.) was another righthander that the East Coast Lumberjacks brought to Georgia with tremendous upside and is a real athlete on the mound. Ritchey, a 6-foot-5, 188-pound righthander, has a fastball that reaches 90 mph. His arm is extremely loose and online to the plate. The body projects and there is certainly reason to believe that there is more in the tank for the two-sport talent (basketball). The command was a bit problematic for him in this one but the overall package, as well as the ceiling in which Ritchey can reach, are intriguing nonetheless. His changeup and curveball are both developing pitches and project well with proper development and the right adjustments. Ritchey stays tall on his back-side before firing to the plate and the effort he exerts is really easy. At times, the timing of his upper and lower half are not in sync causing some inconsistencies with his release point, but when on time the fastball as well as the off-speed offerings have swing-and-miss potential.



In the state of Georgia this upcoming spring Donye Evans (2020, Decatur, Ga.) is certainly a name to follow for professional evaluators. Standing at 6-foot-6, Evans has a frame that pro scouts can dream on. His arm is loose and whips quickly through the back. The Kennesaw State commit has a fastball that topped out at 92 mph a pair of times in this game and sat in the 87-90 mph range mostly. Evans creates a steep downhill plane to the plate and stays online well. When staying in sync to the plate, Evans can locate at the knees with his fastball and blows opposing hitters away with it. His fastball will show varying life especially when located down in the zone. The future Owl and Redan High School product has a pair of off-speed pitches that each project really well along with his frame. The slider is the pitch he went to more often and projects more than his changeup, but the changeup was the more effective pitch on this day. The slider flashed above average but was a developing pitch for the most part in this one. His changeup is firm but is his pitch to get lefthanded hitters out effectively. The upside is immense for Evans and it is going to be fun to see him in Jupiter later this fall as well as this coming spring in his draft year.

Caleb Logerwell (2021, McDonough, Ga.) is a large and physical two-way prospect for the Upstate Mavericks ST. Logerwell was most impressive on the mound during the WWBA Southeast Qualifier #1. The uncommitted righthander went four innings punching out six batters thanks in large part to his 86-90 mph fastball. Not only does his fastball top out at 90 mph but his breaking ball is really what sets him apart from others. The pitch is a swing-and-miss strikeout offering and he uses it well. He is able to locate the pitch down in the strike zone, and when he lands it it misses bats consistently. Logerwell is an uncommitted 2021 graduate with impressive talent. He uses a full arm action and stays online to the plate while working downhill effectively. His arm strength is noteworthy and on this day his command was impressive as well. Logerwell is an uncommitted righthander who will certainly have big-time offers heading into his spring high school season.

Cooper Kinney (2021, Chattanooga, Tenn.) had a monster weekend a week ago getting on base seemingly every at-bat. The WWBA Southeast Qualifier #1 this weekend was very similar with his barrel ability to all parts of the field as well as flashing power to his pull side. Kinney connected on a home run during playoff action Sunday that hit the right field foul pole just above the 320-feet sign. Kinney has a confidence approach at the plate looking to hit the ball out in front with strength at impact and a high exit velocity. He gets his hips and hands going into his swing with a clean shift into contact and a fluid swing path. The South Carolina commit collected four doubles in six games in last week’s action and added to that hot fall season with three extra-base hits in four games this weekend as well.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

Mid-Atlantic All Region & Top Tools

The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition. The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner. New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
