Uncommitted Notebook: Sept. 25

Uncommitted Notebook: September 23

With the changing of the recruiting landscape that was presented in 2020, Perfect Game wants to continue our efforts to provide a spotlight and platform for uncommitted players to showcase their talents. Every week we will highlight players who our scouts saw and were impressed by, showing their talents that will certainly translate to the next level.

As October nears, so to do the WWBA Underclass World Championship as well the WWBA World Championships which boasts rosters loaded with uncommitted talent and as always you can follow @PG_Uncommitted on Twitter for updated looks at prospects from all PG events. 



If a college program is looking for an impact bat for the middle of their lineup, look no further than first baseman Marcus Franco (2021, Miramar, Fla.). Throughout his Perfect Game career Franco has shown the ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field and did just that at the PG National, exhibiting a simple approach and big time power both in batting practice and live action against some impressive arms. He’s good around the first base bag as well and shows big arm strength across the diamond. 

Jalen Fulwood (2021, Johns Creek, Ga.) can do a bit of everything on the diamond, most of which revolves around his advanced speed which clocked in at a 6.51 in the 60-yard at the PG National Showcase. His swing is balanced and rather short through the zone, allowing for barrel control and though he still physically projects at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Fulwood shows present strength to the gaps which allows him to unlock that aforementioned foot speed. He can go get it in center field as well, adding another element to his profile with excellent closing speed and range to the gaps. 

Garrett Williams (2021, College Station, Texas) jumped onto the national scene during the Main Event Showcase last December, his first Perfect Game event in which he quickly made noise. A long and ultra-projectable 6-foot-6, 205 pounds, Williams shows a quick and whip-like arm action through the back which has helped generate a fastball in the upper-80s with which he can fill the zone and miss bats. His slider has swing-and-miss potential as it works into the low-80s with tight spin and late bite. 

Ashtin Webb’s (2021, Mesa, Ariz.) numbers speaks for themselves as he hit .439 on the summer circuit and impressed in both of his showcase performances, the Sunshine West and the PG National Showcase. A primary catcher with solid athleticism (6.68 60-yard speed) and the tools to stick behind the plate, Webb shows the versatility to play an outfielder corner at the next level as well with a strong throwing arm. His hands are fast in the righthanded batter’s box as he swings with intent and creates lift to his swing path, showing intriguing carry off the barrel to all fields.

Aaron Saltsman (2021, Rockledge, Fla.) has a collection of tools colleges should be monitoring as he’s full of quick-twitch muscle running a 6.7 in the 60-yard and he’s performed with the bat as well, hitting .333 during the 17u WWBA with three triples for the Orlando Scorpions. His swing is both short and direct through the zone, showing quickness to his hands with refined, repeatable mechanics in the box. It’s an approach that yields solid contact and as he continues to add strength, the power component should come along nicely as well. 

A Massachusetts native who relocated to Floirda, Raul Diaz Jr. (2021, Palm Beach Garden, Fla.) is the younger brother of Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz, though he’s a prospect in his own right with tools for the next level. Diaz Jr., a primary catcher, makes the biggest statement with his righthanded swing as he showed during his first PG Showcase where he finished out his BP round with four consecutive long balls. He’s strongly built at 5-foot-8, 190 pounds and with loose wrists he’s able to generate easy bat speed through the zone with natural lift to his swing path. 

The younger son of College of Charleston Head Coach Chad Holbrook, Cooper Holbrook (2022, Mount Pleasant, S.C.) put on an impressive display of power during his round of BP at the Jr. National Showcase to open up the summer season. His long 6-foot-3 frame allows the younger Holbrook to generate natural leverage to his swing path, back spinning balls with easy to his pull side though he’s more than just a BP hitter. Playing up this summer, the uncommitted first baseman hit .308 with a bomb in the 17u WWBA Championship. He also ran a 6.79 60-yard dash. 

Mason White (2022, Tucson, Ariz.) and his lefthanded swing have been on display for a couple of years now,, first showing his sweet stroke at the 14u South Showcase in 2018 and he’s continue to add strength every viewing since. His hands are loose and he shows excellent hand-eye coordination with plenty of barreled contact, staying fluid and balanced with his actions in the box. A primary middle infielder, White moves well on his feet and exudes confidence in his actions with a clean gather behind the ball and strong, accurate throws across the diamond. 

Ivan Arias (2022, Boston, Mass.) is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the Northeast for the 2022 class, showing talent on both sides of the ball. A primary shortstop, Arias is a loose and agile defender with soft hands and an advanced clock on defender, showing repeatable actions and a big time arm across the diamond. There’s both looseness and bat speed in his righthanded swing as he looks to lift and drive the ball at the point of contact, particularly to the middle of the field. He’s currently ranked No. 337 in the class of 2022 and is rostered with the Ohio Warhawks for the WWBA World Championship in Fort Myers early next month. 

We most recently saw Nicholas Alonso (2022, Tampa, Fla.) during the PG Underclass All American Games at the end of August where he put his loudest tool on display -his foot speed- with a blistering 6.44 in the 60-yard dash. A long and projectable 6-foot-1, 150 pound outfielder, the strength will enhance his tools at the plate though he already shows loose hands and a shorter, linear stroke through the zone as he showed during the Jr. National Showcase. Alonso’s speed plays well on defense as well with sound, repeatable actions to the ball and nice present carry on his throws.

Cape Cod Notebook No. 1
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cape Cod League Scouting Notebook  Maverick Rizy | Ole Miss | RHP | Brewster Whitecaps  The towering 6-foot-9, 250-pound right-hander continues to stand out with one of the more unique looks on the Cape, pairing a massive frame with a low three-quarter slot that creates difficult angles for hitters. While his fastball velocity was down from its typical mid-90s range during this look, working mostly 90-92 mph, it still generated plenty of swing-and-miss. He paired the heater with an 81-83 mph gyro slider featuring tight bullet-spin action and mixed in an 85-mph changeup with quality separation. Rizy battled his command early in the outing I saw, before settling in to strike out five over three innings, showing the ability to adjust as the game progressed. Through 12.2 Cape League innings, he has recorded 18 strikeouts, and his combination of size, deception, and projectability...

Final 2026 MLB Mock Draft

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
It's draft day and that means it's time for our final Mock Draft with the 2026 group. 1. Chicago White Sox | Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA It’s between Roch and Grady Emerson at this pick, though there have been heavy rumors of a very late deal potentially with another top 5 pick. This boils down to negotiations and we think that they will get there.  2. Tampa Bay Rays | Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (Tex.) If Grady isn’t the first pick then he is almost certain to be the second pick. The Rays like to get creative but Emerson is a well worth prospect in his own right.  3.  Minnesota Twins | Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This is likely the floor for Roch Cholowsky, though the Twins might prefer Lackey to Roch outright. They are thought to be in on the top college players with Emerson a distant third.  4. San Francisco Giants | Jackson Flora, RHP, UC...

Ohio Valley Regional Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘28 INF Christian Ramirez (OH) WALKS IT OFF for @CincyDBulls2028 to win the chip! Has shown impressive tools throughout the weekend and in this AB showed the ability to adjust to the offspeed and win the game. #OVElite pic.twitter.com/J3MXJXFnbM — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 5, 2026 Christian Ramirez (2028, Mason, Ohio) helped his team win the championship batting out of the two-hole. Though he didn’t win tournament MVP, Ramirez was my favorite player to watch take a plate appearance. He has an advanced feel for the zone and sees the ball out of the pitcher’s hand quicker than most. Ramirez led the tournament with eight walks, batting .375 with a .583 on-base percentage. Much more than just the approach, the swing is efficient with little wasted movement, creates quality separation, and puts him in an excellent position at contact. With such an...

16u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 ‘28 C Nico Ayars (FL) coming off a monster game yesterday & comes up with the biggest swing of this one. A triple right down the LF line to drive in two. Came into today hitting .833 this week. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/Hvb7UvtkNi — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 8, 2026 Nico Ayars (2028, Fort Myers, Fla.) has just been on the barrel throughout the week so far, collecting six hits across the first four games of the tournament. That didn’t slow down on day three at Mt. Zion High School as he came up with the biggest swing of the day, hitting a triple down the left field line to drive in a pair. It’s been a standout week so far for Ayars and he’ll be a driving force behind the run through the tourney for CBU 2028 Scout Team Lawson. Rylan Jenkins (2028, Tennille, Ga.) put...

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Tre Hallberg (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to deep LCF for a 2-run 💣. Continues to stand out at the plate. Power will only continue to develop #WWBAWest @PG_Uncommitted https://t.co/NlWlDygpwg pic.twitter.com/RHrgYXLmwm — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) July 10, 2026 Tre Hallberg (2027, Mesa, Ariz.) was nearly impossible to get out over the first two days of action, going 7-for-9 with a triple and a home run. A balanced right-handed swing stays compact to contact. There is quick hand speed through the zone with feel for the barrel. Hallberg has a strong feel to hit to go with power that continues to develop. The upside is apparent.  William Garcia Falmer (2027, El Dorado Hills, Calif.) collected a pair of mulit-hit games over the course of day one and two, going 5-for-7 with two doubles, a homer, and seven runs driven in. Garcia Falmer features a physical build...

Windy City Invite & Open Scout Notes: Part 1 Braedon Paczocha (2028, Palmyra, Wis.), a 5-foot-11, 180-pound frame catcher for GRB STiKS 16U Black, displayed a quick bat with the ability to do damage.

The GRB Rays 16U Illinois Green right-hander ran his fastball up to 91 mph with heavy arm-side run while filling up the zone and inducing weak contact.
