Perfect Game/Rawlings Player of the Week: TJ Collett, Kentucky
Kentucky slugger TJ Collett, now a senior, has enjoyed a productive collegiate career and he’s coming off one of his most productive weeks. As part of a 5-0 week for the Wildcats with games against Cincinnati, Murray State, Norfolk State and Oakland, Collett batted 10-for-22 (.455) with seven runs scored, 13 driven in, three doubles and three homers. Four of the five games were multi-hit games and he also had multi-RBI games in four of the five contests. Collett started the week with a two-home run performance against Cincinnati and finished with a four-RBI performance against Oakland. A PG All-American during the summer of 2015, Collett now has hit 26 home runs in 117 games, slashing .272/.362/.526 during that time. Kentucky improved to 10-6 with the five wins and out-scored their opponents 57-to-21.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week: Kyle Nicolas, Ball State
It was a hard-luck 1-0 loss for Ball State on Friday, although their ace, Kyle Nicolas, didn’t factor into the decision after delivering seven innings of one-hit baseball. Nicolas only walked one batter while retiring 17 of the 24 batters he faced via strikeout. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound junior entered the year as the 87th-ranked player for the 2020 MLB Draft as he regularly deals in the low-90s, peaking at 95 mph, while mixing in a hammer curveball to give him a legitimate 1-2 swing-and-miss punch. Nicolas has still yet to win a game this year despite having a 2.74 ERA over four starts, allowing just 15 hits and seven walks over 23 innings with 37 total punchouts and a paltry .188 batting average against.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Player of the Week: Hunter Goodman, Memphis
If Western Illinois ever has to face Memphis catcher Hunter Goodman again it will be too soon. After a one-game tuneup against Central Arkansas in which Goodman went a relatively modest 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI, he went off over the weekend, hitting four total home runs and a grand slam in each of the Tigers’ three contests against the Leathernecks. He saved his best for last, going 4-for-6 on Sunday with 11 RBI, hitting a three-run double, a two-run single, a two-run double and a grand slam in a 23-8 win. Overall he hit 11-for-21 (.524) with two doubles, four homers, seven runs scored and 24 driven in as Memphis out-scored Western Illinois 55-16. Goodman entered the year as the 27th-ranked overall prospect for the 2021 MLB Draft.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week: Dane Acker, Oklahoma
After spending the 2019 season at JUCO power San Jac, Dane Acker hasn’t missed a beat so far with the ninth-ranked Sooners, delivering his most masterful performance to date. In a contest against LSU, and opposite a one-hit performance over eight innings by AJ Labas, Acker was just that much better, tossing a no-hitter in a 1-0 win to secure Oklahoma’s second win at the Shriners College Classic. He struck out 11 and walked only one during his time on the mound and so far this season he has proven to be the stingiest OU pitcher to hit, now allowing just seven base hits in 21 innings of work. PG’s Brian Sakowski was at the game and you can read his full recap, with video, of Acker’s performance here.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Player of the Week: Robert Moore, Arkansas
It was a week of firsts for Moore, who of course would be a senior in high school had he not graduated early to enroll at Arkansas at semester. The team’s second baseman hit his first collegiate double and his first home run while driving in his first run (with eight others) and stealing his first base. In three of Arkansas’ games as part of a four-game sweep over visiting Gonzaga, Moore gave the Hogs the initial lead with a run-scoring base hit. In the other game he provided the go-ahead RBI and later in that game provided insurance with a two-run shot. He also provided his usual nifty defense up the middle of the infield and overall went 8-for-12 (.667) with four runs scored, nine driven in, a double, a homer, two steals and four walks.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week: Bryce Jarvis, Duke
There was no shortage of big pitching performances during the second weekend of the 2020 college baseball season, however, no performance was more impressive than Bryce Jarvis’ perfect game in an 8-0 win over visiting Cornell. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound junior had everything working on Friday, needing just 94 pitches to record 27 outs, 15 of which were punchouts with only one three-ball count in the game. His fastball sat at 92-95 mph while mixing in his full four-pitch mix that includes a slider, curveball and changeup. The win was the third of four straight shutouts for the Blue Devils as part of a 4-0 week and the Pitcher of the Week honor is the second for Jarvis, who got the nod in Regional play a year ago with a win over West Virginia in Morgantown.

Feb. 18, 2020

Perfect Game/Rawlings Player of the Week: Nick Gonzales, New Mexico State
It doesn’t appear anything can slow Gonzales down. He led the nation in batting a year ago and he followed that up with a huge performance on the Cape, leading Cotuit to a summer championship that led to him being named PG’s Summer Collegiate Player of the Year. He entered 2020 as a no-doubt First Team Preseason College All-American and accounted for over half of his team’s runs in their opening four-game set against Texas Southern. In those four games he went 8-for-14 (.571) with a pair of doubles, four homers eight runs scored and 17 RBI. He also walked six times and was hit twice. Gonzales saved his biggest and best performance for last, blasting three home runs – a two-run shot, a three-run shot and a grand slam – on Sunday.

Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week: Hunter Wolfe, Dayton
It would be wise not to overlook Dayton this season, a team that has a few promising prospects whose tools translate well to the next level. Senior staff ace Hunter Wolfe is one of those prospects, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound lefthander who out-dueled Bryant ace Tyler Mattison to open the 2020 season last Friday with seven strong innings. He used an 84-88 mph fastball, changeup and curveball to keep the opposing hitters guessing, leading to 14 strikeouts while only allowing one run on a pair of hits and two walks. Wolfe led the A-10 in wins a year ago (9) and also paced the Dayton staff with his 3.70 ERA as he and the Flyers are off to a strong 3-1 start with wins two wins over Bryant and another over UNC Wilmington.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Jacob Ramirez (‘29 TX) all over it again today as he sends this ball into the parking lot for a 2-run 💣! Been seeing it awfully well all week with serious bat speed. Dude can play. #SouthWS https://t.co/rXRRJTbpoZ pic.twitter.com/CpBZklwxnN — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) July 25, 2026 Jacob Ramirez (2029, Santa Fe, Texas) had one of the strongest showings on the week for Texas Twelve Red Sox helping lead his team to a championship victory while taking home MVP honors. Ramirez was simply put, all over the barrel and worked some of the best at-bats of the tournament. Ramirez is a highly athletic short stop who was a main stay out there while looking the part. He made most plays his way while showing good hands and footwork around the ball with lateral range getting to balls with ease. Athleticism really shined on the dirt throughout the week. In the box, Ramirez finished the...

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 7

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Carter Nash (2029, Moore, S.C.) was all over the barrel for ZT National Prospects 15u. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a high handset with a high back elbow, utilizes a low leg lift trigger. Creates separation in the back shoulder and flips the hips with quick hands from a slightly uphill bat plane and good bat speed. Easy juice and strength present in the 5-foot-11, 201-pound frame with feel to impact and drive the ball. Showed the feel to let the ball travel and get deep and showed the hand speed to create barrel whip out front and drive the ball consistently to the backside.

2026 MLB Draft: Surprises

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Historic Lack of Arms Early On Going into the draft we knew that the pitching at the very top of the board was going to be light, but we still had 11 arms ranked in the Top-30 of our final board. Jackson Flora separated himself from the pack and looked like a sure-fire Top-5 pick going in and that came true. But following him we saw an all-time historic lack of arms taken. Flora was the only pitcher selected within the first 15 picks, something that has never happened in the history of the draft. There were only three pitchers selected in the Top-20 which is tied for the fewest ever in draft history. Inconsistent performances and a handful of injuries did thin the potential arms at the top of the board and teams clearly valued the bats over the arms early on, but seeing the lack of arms reach a historic low was a surprise. Carson Wiggins Goes 27th Overall The Mets arguably had the most...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt. He showed out on both sides of the ball this past weekend, really getting it done at the plate. He finished the weekend 7-for-15, with a double and 4 RBI to...

The #Creighton commit was up to 93 mph with the FB (89-93), while the SL showed two plane break at 79-84 mph.

The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander and Creighton commit paired the fastball with a low-80s slider that flashed two-plane break and a cutter that played well off the mix. Kakach worked with a loose, quick arm from a high three-quarter slot, creating quality movement across his mix while displaying...
