All-State Game Standouts: Day 1 | Day 2


Matthew Sharman (2026, Woodstock, Ga.), a 6-foot-1, 170-pound second baseman, had a huge double for Team Georgia in the bottom of the 6th inning to tie the score against Team Pacific NW. The momentum seemed to swing toward Georgia, who took the lead with four runs scored, ultimately relinquishing the lead the next inning. Sharman finished the All-State Games with a pair of doubles, a single, four runs driven in and four runs scored.




Carson Quillen (2025, Greeneville, Tenn.), a 5-foot-10, 185-pound catcher, was stellar behind the plate defensively for Team Coastal over the weekend. The No. 1 ranked catcher in the Tennessee class finished with a .375 average, scored three runs, and knocked in two while catching four of the five games over the tournament. Quillen showed the ability to handle a pitching staff and contribute offensively with solid actions on both sides of the ball. 
 
Kort Baker (2025, Auburn, Wash.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound first baseman, hit .400 with four singles and two doubles over 16 plate appearances for the champion, Team Pacific NW. Baker’s huge double in the top of the 7th inning ignited the three-run come-from-behind victory over Team Georgia in the semifinals. He contributed two more hits in the finals against Team Florida as Team Pacific NW took home the 14U National All-State Select Championship. 

Carson Hughes (2025, Buckley, Wash.) was the Most Valuable Player of the 14U National All-State Select Championship. The 5-foot-11, 145-pound shortstop drove in eight runs and scored another seven runs in six games for Team Pacific NW on their way to the championship title. A consistent performer at Perfect Game events, Hughes made the All-Tournament Team in two of his previous four events and now has an MVP to go along with his credentials as a player who steps up in big events.

AJ Cruz (2026, Miami, Fla.) is a 5-foot-11, 146-pound primary shortstop, infielder and right-handed pitcher who was excellent at the plate this weekend in Atlanta, hitting .500 over the course of Florida’s finalist run, with four of his five hits going for extra bases, including two triples. At the plate Cruz passes the eye-test as he is tall, lean and operates with athletic actions in all phases. In the box, Cruz sets up with a narrow, square stance and hands low outside his pec. He has nice rhythm and timing in the box, and pairs it with advanced hand-eye coordination that helps him get extended and square up pitches regardless to where they are pitched. Current power is to the alleys as it plays well into his game, with underway speed and the ability to go first-to-third rather effortlessly. Cruz is also aggressive on the bases as he stole two bags this weekend with aggressive tendencies and first-step quickness, allowing him to get clean jumps off the pitcher time and again. Already a top-50 prospect in the class, Cruz had quite the year, hitting .387 over 87 games, and appearing in the 13u Main Event and 13u National Showcase this past summer.
 

Brayden Harris (2026, Orange Park, Fla.) is a 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed pitcher, third baseman, and outfielder who came into the weekend ranked as the No. 6 right-handed pitcher in the class and inside the top-20 prospects nationally. Brayden lived up to the hype this weekend in Atlanta as he was spectacular in all phases, pitching 6 2/3 innings to the tune of five hits, no runs, and 11 punchouts, as well as hitting .385 over seven games with six total bases. Harris really shined on the mound as he earned the start for Florida Monday morning and worked into the fourth, scattering five hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. Needing just 61 pitches to complete his assignment, Harris displayed a balanced windup and a quick arm action, which helped him fill the zone and run his fastball up to 86 mph. Harris complemented his fastball well with a 12-6 curveball in the high-60s with plenty of depth and bite through the zone, making it difficult to barrel all morning. To further illustrate how dominant Harris was, he worked ahead of all but one of the 17 hitters he faced and threw a first-pitch strike to 60% of the at-bats throughout his outing. Harris has had an excellent year at Perfect Game events recording 113 punchouts over 95 1/3 innings on the mound, while also hitting .420 in 110 games at the plate. Lastly, Harris’ performance on Monday earned him MV-Pitcher honors for this year's inaugural All-State Games, an impressive feat.
 

Connor Langdon (2026, Perry, Ga.) is a 6-foot, 150-pound, tall, lean and athletic southpaw, who earned the start for Georgia during their semifinal game Monday afternoon at East Cobb. On the mound, Langdon looks the part, as he deploys an even tempo to his delivery and pairs it with a long and loose, two-pieced arm action that releases his repertoire from a high three-quarter slot, tunneling well across his mix. To work through his assignment, Langdon sequenced with a fastball touching 80 mph with life and run through the zone, a changeup with sell and fade in the high-60s, and a curveball with natural depth and proper shape in the low-70s that created plenty of swing-and-miss over his six-inning start. When all was said and done, Langdon would strike out two and scatter five hits, earning a no-decision for his performance. Langdon’s impressive outing is nothing we haven’t seen at Perfect Game, as he currently ranks as the top left-handed pitcher in his home state, and inside the top-50 prospects in the class. With what most likely will be the capstone to his 2021 Perfect Game tournament slate, Langdon will finish with an impressive 74 strikeouts over just 52 innings, and a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
 

Christopher Moore (2026, Covington, Wash.) battled the aforementioned Langdon Monday morning as he earned the start for Pacific NW in their semifinal game. Moore, like his counterpart, has a projectable frame and build at 5-foot-10, 145 pounds, and uses it well as he extends his legs well down the mound, before using his long arms and clean arm action to get plenty of extension out front prior to release. To work through his assignment, Moore worked off an 80 mph fastball with life and sink, and mixed in a mid-60s breaker with depth and bottom. Working into the fourth, Moore was effective all game long filling the zone with his repertoire and working ahead of the majority of the hitters he faced. A good athlete, Moore also displayed the ability to field his position on weak comebackers to the mound with sound defensive actions and clean throws to bases. Moore is currently the top-ranked prospect and shortstop in his home state and proved why this week as he performed well in all phases, contributing every step of the way to the Pacific Northwest’s championship run.
 

Teammate to the aforementioned Moore, Pacific Northwest outfielder Dylan Mamiya (2026, Kennewick, Wash.) is yet another tool-studded talent that helped lead the Northwest to a championship this weekend at East Cobb. Mamiya stands 5-foot-8, 147 pounds, with a lean, athletic build. What stands out is Dylan’s athleticism and how it translates to all phases of the game. At the plate, the left-handed hitting table-setter starts square with hands high near his ear. He deploys a simple backside load via a lagging leg lift before turning it loose upon foot strike with torque, bat speed, and barrel control. Mamiya possesses advanced hand-eye coordination that helps him work the count, and barrel fastballs in hitter-friendly counts, consistently punching line drive results with carry to the gaps. Once contact is made, Dylan turns on the jets with underway speed, acceleration, and acumen which helps him work into scoring position time and again. A good athlete, tools are present in the outfield as well as he displays range, a strong arm with accuracy and carry, and enough feel for the leather to make all plays hit his way. Lastly, Dylan put together a nice weekend of his club’s six-game stretch hitting .500 from the middle of the order with nine total bases, five runs scored, and six driven in.

Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Auburn commit Brennan Neal (2027, Columbus, Ga.) had a good showing on Sunday on the mound, putting the clean, athletic delivery on display in an inning of work. Neal worked in the 90-93 range with the fastball with plenty of life, and showed some run to it when working to the arm side. Neal also worked in a tight slider in the upper 70s, but also showed confidence in a fading changeup in the mid 80s. Neal also has room to add strength to his lanky frame, which could be big for him to continue to add velocity. South Florida commit Taylor Casson (2026, Atlanta, Ga.) had an impressive showing on the hill with the stuff and results, going 5 innings of no-hit baseball with 10 strikeouts. The fastball worked in the 89-92 range with downhill angle and tail, and was in the zone often. He worked a 3-pitch mix, showing some impressive swing and miss stuff...

WWBA Scout Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Raylen Hunter (‘30 TX) stays living on the barrel; this one burning the CFer for a double. Just an electric ballplayer. #WWBASouth https://t.co/1LThRBqN80 pic.twitter.com/z5RF5dy47o — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) May 30, 2026 Raylen Hunter (2030, Cypress, Texas) took home MVP honors for the tournament and helped lead his team to a big championship win. Was a big standout on a loaded Banditos team that steamrolled their way to the championship. He ended the week going 10-16 with a pair of doubles while scoring ten runs atop the lineup. Hunter is a true spark plug who makes consistently hard contact line to line. The swing is short and works to all fields with plenty of twitch and bat speed. Bat to ball plays at an extremely high level as he rarely gets cheated never taking an at-bat off. Once on base, Hunter causes havoc on the base-paths, a...

Tyler Russo

With another few weeks in the book of the high school season, we’ve already had state champions crowned with playoffs happening in some northern states. There have been some upsets so there has been a good amount of movement in the National High School Top-50. We have a new number-one this update with Tomball (TX) taking over the top spot and will be playing for a state championship this week. They sport a 42-1 record heading into the title game and have been one of the best teams from start to finish this year. St. John Bosco (CA) has now gone back-to-back with Trinity League and CIF Southern Section titles and take over the No. 2 spot. No. 3 Aledo (TX) continues to win, No. 4 Trinity (KY) has been dominant in Kentucky play and No. 5 Norco (CA) lost the Southern Section title game and had a great year.

Will Dembo

In a highly anticipated matchup between two of the nation’s top 17u teams, the East Cobb Astros defeated eXposure National 9-8 in a thrilling extra-inning battle to claim the PG Southeast Elite Championship. The Astros completed the weekend undefeated, opening their summer season with a hard-fought, statement victory. “I mean, it's fun, it's been a grind today,” said Astros Head Coach, Josh Burress. “Been out here a long day, but our guys are competitors, they come out compete, they want to compete and win, so it's just fun to watch them come out here and not quitting playing to the end... so the guys did very well today, and they competed all the way through.” eXposure began the opening frame by taking the early lead on an error but quickly gave their lead away as the Astros came out of the gates hot, plating six runs in just the first inning.

Central Florida Invite Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Leanderson Argueta (2027, Panamá) absolutely outmatched every arm he faced this weekend ending up with seven hits, five of which were doubles and also hit a three run home run in game three. In the fifth inning against Freshwater Storm National Argueta got his pitch and deposited it over the wall for a go ahead three run home run. Showed real comfort in the box and was able to repeat the stroke well. Fires his hips with intent and the direct bat path plays to all parts of the park.  Jayden Pagan (2028, St. Cloud, Fla.) would not be denied this weekend slashing .500/.684/1.434. The championship game was no different for Pagan getting a first pitch heater and scorched it into left for an rbi triple. He would later add a double in the seventh inning that carried over the center fielders head. The bat to ball skills paired with his up the middle approach translate. The 2028...

Article Image

Turn 2 Comes Back to Take BCS

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
A mostly clear day at Lee Health Sports Complex in Fort Myers, Florida set the stage for a tightly contested championship matchup between Florida Burn 2028 Myrback and Turn 2 Garcia. Behind two triples from Quinn Seglem, Turn 2 rallied for a 5-4 victory to claim the BCS Qualifier title. Left-hander Carter Brunco started on the mound for Turn 2, allowing six hits and four walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings. Burn jumped out to an early lead in the first inning.

Blake Dubiel followed with another RBI single to give Burn a 2-0 advantage. Right-hander Straw carried the momentum onto the mound for Burn, holding Turn 2 hitless through the first two innings while recording a strikeout in each. In the top of the second, Spencer Meachum...

Cali Mid-Major Draft Notes

Joey Cohen
Article Image
California annually produces its share of high-profile prep and college draft talent, but this spring also offered quality depth especially on the mid-major side. I wanted to highlight a group of semi under-the-radar prospects who have quietly put together strong seasons and caught the attention of our staff whether it was with in-person looks or just by some performance/data metrics that popped. The bulk of this group comes out of the Big West, with additional names from the WCC, WAC, and Mountain West mixed in. Matthew Thomas - OF - CSUN  Few hitters in the Big West have matched Thomas’ offensive impact this spring, as he slashed a strong .335/.411/.679 with 15 home runs. Long and still mostly viewed as a power-first profile, he’s taken a meaningful step forward in the hit tool, cutting down a bit on significant swing-and-miss concerns while increasing his on-base...

EBC 17U-Griggs Making a Run in Hoover

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Talent may have helped EBC 17U-Griggs arrive at the 2026 Perfect Game Hoover Invitational as one of the tournament favorites, but team chemistry is what has carried them to Championship Monday. After a dominant weekend that included multiple shutout victories, and a dramatic comeback win, EBC 17U-Griggs earned its place in the championship round and sits just two wins away from bringing home the title. The roster is loaded with college commits and nationally ranked prospects, but throughout the tournament, EBC’s success has come from contributions across the lineup rather than relying on a single star. After an opening 5-12 victory setting the tone, followed by a huge 17-0 victory where nine different players recorded at least one RBI, highlighted the depth that has made this club one of the most dangerous teams in the field. Throughout the weekend, players such as Clayton Tolbert,...

Blalock's Consistency Shines in Hoover

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Blalock’s Consistency Continues to Shine at Hoover Invitational While many players his age are still learning how to handle the spotlight, Tristan Blalock has already become accustomed to it. The Madison, Alabama Native entered the 2026 Perfect Game Hoover Invitational as one of the most highly regarded players in the country, carrying a national ranking of No. 23 overall in the 2029 class and the distinction of being Alabama’s top ranked player. Yet despite the attention and high approval, Blalock’s approach remains remarkably simple.  “Just 100% effort,” Blalock said when asked about his defensive mindset. “Going out there every single time and giving it my all, do or die, no matter what the play is.” That mentality was on display Saturday as Blalock helped lead East Coast Sox Prime to a 14-0 victory over EBC 15U-Bell. Although the...
