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.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 4

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover. The event was littered with talent and these rankings reflect just that. St. John Bosco (CA) holds onto the first spot in this update and are being pushed by an IMG Academy (FL) team that’s 8-0 after winning the High School Showdown as well as beating two preseason top-10 teams in the first few weeks of the season. Orange Lutheran (CA) holds onto the No. 3 spot after a 1-0 start to the year and just a few weeks away from NHSI. A trio of Florida schools follow Olu in South Walton (FL), fresh off a win at the HS Showdown, Venice (FL), a surging team...

College Players of the Week: March 3

March 3 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Cider Canon, OF, Duke  The Duke Blue Devils (11-3) went through massive changes in the offseason, with a new coaching staff and heavy roster turnover like is often seen in the college game today.  That hasn’t held them back as they have kind of flown under the radar on their way to a tie for the most wins in the nation.  They won 4 out 5 games last week and Cider Canon was the driving force behind their offensive onslaught.  The 5-11/180 outfielder from San Marino, CA put together an incredible week collecting 9 hits in 14 at-bats, good for a .643 BA, scoring 7 runs, with 3 walks, 4 home runs and driving in a total of 10 runs.  After a successful couple years at Davidson College, Cider made the trip north to Durham and has fit right into the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense.  For the season, he is...

At 6-foot-6, 255-pounds, Borthwick is an ultra-physical prospect and one of the top two-way prospects in the draft. The Auburn signee drew the biggest crowd of MLB scouts in attendance as there were around 50 or 60 so lined up behind home plate on Friday morning. Borthwick was nothing short of dominant, striking out eight hitters and...

Three weeks in and we are beginning to see some separation across the country.  The quality and depth, or lack thereof, are becoming evident and the conference segment for several conferences starts up this weekend.  Midweek games continue to be a tossup and only the teams that are strong on both sides of the ball have been able to maintain momentum.  We have a new No. 1 in this week’s poll as UCLA (9-2) has already accumulated 5-wins against teams that are currently or were previously ranked in the Top 25.  With last weekend’s sweep of No. 17 Tennessee (8-3), Texas A&M (10-1) and No. 4 Mississippi State (11-1) at the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series, the Bruins leap now No. 2 LSU (11-1) and No. 3 Georgia Tech (11-1) to take over the top spot.  The Texas Longhorns (11-0) are up to No. 5 as one of only 3-remaining undefeated teams in the nation,...

Leveraging w/ such easy juice. #PGShowdown @IMGABaseball @Florida_PG https://t.co/BgWiDyMiMo pic.twitter.com/IC6sdAkhmT — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 26, 2026 Frank Thomas III (2027, Sarasota, Fl.) was all over a breaking ball in the first inning of an IMG Academy offensive explosion, making it back-to-back-to-back homers to start the game. He did not turn back from there, homering on two more occasions. The ball explodes off the barrel with low effort strength and he showed the ability to manipulate the barrel to lift with authority. Thomas III is built strong and physical and he is just beginning to tap into that huge power upside. He showed no issues handling left on left matchups, with his first two homers coming...

Dax Whitney (@BeaverBaseball) showed LOUD stuff. FB up to 100, cruised at 95-98. Pair of plus secondaries. CB at 77-79 (2923) with sharp, 12-6 action. Firm SL at 89-91 (2714) with bite. Flashed fading CH at 87-88 (1425).

Whitney may not just be the best arm in next year’s class, he may be the best arm in the entire country right now. The right-handed sits 98 mph with the heater and has been up to 100 mph. Both the slider and curveball are plus offerings that he spins extremely well. Whitney will mix in a quality Gavin changeup that sits in the upper-80’s and has also introduced a new cutter. All the pitches come from the exact same release point and jump out of the hand. He...

Jordan Burwell (‘26 NJ) going WAY out to right. Rhythmic approach and smooth swing get into big time power. #Mountaineers commit. @PGMidAtlantic #PGShowdown pic.twitter.com/qyDaIPxIol — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 22, 2026 Jordan Burwell (‘26 NJ) First live look at the left-handed hitting West Virgina commit. The power is real, launched two long homers in game action this weekend. Easy mover with very clean path with sky high offensive ceiling if he continues to show like this. Swing is built for power and lofted pull side impacts.    CJ Alfano (‘26 NY) long PS bomb this morning. Just leaning on everything that’s thrown over the heart. #WVU commit. @PGMidAtlantic #PGShowdown pic.twitter.com/4lGnhOEyrl — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 22, 2026 Cj Alfano (‘26 NY)Just an impossible out throughout the weekend....
