Uncommitted Notebook: Sept. 28

Connor Spencer
Uncommitted Notebook: September 23 | September 25

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. 




Julian Orozco (2022, Long Beach, Calif.) impressed in the desert at the PG Fall National Championship (underclass) as he jumped onto the PG circuit with a fastball up to 89 mph, and an already mature presence on the hill. With good length to his frame and a quick arm down the mound, his fastball possesses some natural cutting actions and has the ability to get in onto hitter’s hands on both sides of the plate. The Long Beach native is listed as a primary infielder and shows good promise at the plate; however, there’s a lot to be excited about on the hill.

No. 409 overall in the class of 2022, Brenden Moore (2022, Pacific Grove, Calif.) had a fantastic summer on the PG Circuit, posting six K’s through five innings pitched for Trosky National 2022 at PG events since June. Moore has a power arm that has the ability to get up to 91 mph but he naturally sits around 85-89 mph. With every outing he’s made this summer, he continues to mature on the bump and he put together a solid weekend at the PG Underclass All American Games which earned him a strong PG 9 grade.

Jason Reitz (2022, San Jose, Calif.) made a jump after the second West Coast COVID-19 shutdown in July and August as he topped out at 83 mph at the 15u Mountain West Elite Championship in June, then came back and topped out at 87 mph at the PG Fall National Championship this month. Reitz’s long and lengthy frame still has a ton of room to fill and the imaginations of college coaches has to be running wild over it. He fanned eight through just 3 1/3 innings two weeks ago.


Kevin Sharpe (2021, Lafayette, Calif.) could be a late find arm that makes an impact for many college programs with a fastball up to 88 mph and a whippy arm that makes it feel heavier than it is. Sharpe fanned six through five full innings pitched while allowing just one hit in his only PG event appearance.


It's rather surprising to see utility man Carson Case (2021, Santa Ana, Calif.) is still uncommitted with an abundance of tools that will most certainly play at the next level. Case hit .429 with a 1.270 OPS at the 17u West World Series in June. Then he came back after the second shutdown and hit .455 with a 1.098 OPS at the PG Fall National Championship. With quick hands and a simple approach, Case just straight hits. He also has a strong arm that has the ability to run up into the high-80s from the outfield, thus, his tools are versatile enough to get his bat in the lineup no matter where he plays defensively.

The No. 96 overall player in the class of 2021 AJ Smith-Shawver (2021, Colleyville, Tex.) is taking his time to pick the right college home as he wants to continue to be a two-sport athlete at the next level. Despite being uncommitted, don’t be mistaken, he’s one of the best players in the country with a real threat to be a true two-way player at the next level with a ton of raw power at the plate, along with a fastball up to 95 mph on the mound. Smith-Shawver can do a little bit of everything for a team on the diamond, and he’s without a doubt going to have some tough decisions to make regarding the draft, college, and his all around bright future soon.

Jackson Thomas (2021, Mesa, Ariz.) has a power fastball that works up to 92 mph along with projectable length and a very desirable competitive nature on the hill. He’s another arm that has put together an impressive summer on the PG event circuit with quality outings in the PG West Elite Championship, PG 17u World Series, and PG Fall National Championship this month in Arizona. His stuff has more than enough filth to it to miss bats and possesses a slight hitch to his motion that gives his arsenal some deception to the plate. He’ll be playing with the AZ D-Backs Scout team at the WWBA World Championship two weekends from now and it should be expected that he’ll put together another strong performance.

Taylor Seay (2021, Lake Jackson, Tex.) is another uncommitted arm that will be on display in Fort Myers next month at the WWBA’s. Seay keeps things simple on the mound with a conventional motion and quick arm action that pounds the zone with strikes. What makes Seay stand out is the poise and grit he brings to every start he makes. He competes, goes right after guys, and doesn’t back down from big situations. Seay made key starts on the mound against quality offenses this summer at a myriad of events on the PG circuit including the PG 17u World Series. His fastball sits in the high-80s and tops out at 90 mph and his secondary stuff has continued to improve all summer long.


With a mature approach and plus feel for the barrel, infielder Zack Martinez (2022, Spring, Tex.) continues to showcase how much of an asset he could be at the plate for a number of different college programs. On paper, Martinez is a bit undersized, listed at 5-foot-4, 160 pounds. However, his frame is athletic and provides great pop at the plate with the ability to drive the ball into either gap with authority, as well as the ability to backspin the ball out of the yard to his pull side. His athleticism and solid arm allow him to play at both the hot corner and second base proficiently. He posted a 1.500 OPS at both the PG South World Series and PG South Elite Fall Championship this summer. Martinez’s carrying tool is his hit tool and strong hands at the plate, and he’ll go as far as his bat will take him.

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,...

High School Showdown Event Page | High School Showdown Preview ‘27 1B Frank Thomas (FL) goes liftoff once again for 2nd HR, again in the L on L. 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...

PG Draft: Early Season Underclass Performers

Tyler Henninger

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). Ranked No. 1 on the ‘27 board @PG_Draft So./‘27 elig. pic.twitter.com/9PNbjJ53Zo — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall) February 13, 2026 RHP Dax Whitney, Oregon State (‘27 elig.) 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....
