2023 Uncommitted Gems: West Coast

2023 Uncommitted Gems: Georgia


Blake Sehorn (2023, Hillsboro, Ore.) is one of the top uncommitted talents from the state of Oregon, and for good reason. The physical 5-foot-10, 180-pound backstop comes with good amounts of strength and pull-side drive. His dedication to the weight room is evident, and it translates with a powerful, yet balanced right-handed swing. He doesn’t cheat himself at the plate with good leverage and strength out front for loud contact to all fields. He’s fundamentally sound behind the dish and has solid receiving skills with good arm strength from a quick transfer. Projects to fill out more at the next level with tools on both sides.

Erik Hoffberg (2023, West Linn, Ore.) brings a lot to like on the mound from a profile standpoint, starting with a projectable 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame and live arm. The right-hander works quick, showing good feel for a mid-80s fastball and tight low-70s curveball in the process. He’s also able to spin his breaker in any count and continues to develop more feel for it. Hoffberg is in store for a big summer and has plenty of untapped potential with his arm talent.
 

Kory Chu (2023, Kaneohe, Hawaii) has enticing ability at the plate and on the mound with his well-rounded skill set. Produces quality bat speed with quick hands and barrel control through the zone for a sound up-the-middle approach. Shows some power to the pull side when squared. He moves well defensively with swift lateral movements and smooth exchanges on the dirt. His athleticism translates to the mound with a fastball up to 84 mph and a developing breaking ball from a lower three-quarter slot. He’s a consistent performer at PG tournaments with solid upside.
 

Levi Maddela (2023, Wailuku, Hawaii) is a physical first baseman and brings some pop to the plate each time up. It’s a smooth, simple left-handed swing with loft and strength out front. The bat projects well down the line with the strength and size he possesses. He swung it well over the summer and is someone to keep a close eye on.



Dylan Strom (2023, Ferndale, Wash.) is a projectable 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-hander with some untapped potential on the bump. He sports a promising three-pitch mix. Fastball reaches the mid-to-high-80s with late, downward life. Shows some feel for a mid-60s curveball and mid-70s changeup for whiffs. Good arm speed from a mid three-quarter delivery and sequences his arsenal well. Intriguing profile with plenty of room left to fill out.
 

Nico Newhan (2023, Vista, Calif.) was a loud performer in this year’s Underclass All-American Games and has seen his stock rise immensely. His impressive rounds of batting practice translates in game, generating plenty of whip to the barrel with intent in the path. The hand speed and loft immediately stands out with easy pull-side power. Defensively, Newhan works well behind the ball and has the tools to stick on the dirt. His offensive upside is up near the top of the class with his ability at the plate.
 

Jackson Kemmerer (2023, Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) has a combination of speed and power that is amongst the best of the uncommitted West Coast crop. He capped off a successful summer with an impressive performance at the 2021 Underclass World Championship. The ball jumps off the barrel to the pull side with good loft and carry from an elevated swing plane. His speed and quickness on the basepaths and in the outfield fits a top-of-the-order profile that can make an immediate contribution to a program.
 

Michael Ryan (2023, Gridley, Calif.) is an intriguing product with loud tools on both sides. Shows good amounts of power to all fields with a quick bat through contact; gets deep in his lower half and creates plenty of bat speed and separation. Strung together multiple barrels throughout the summer circuit with some drive in the hips. Has noticeable speed and twitchiness that translates. Covers plenty of ground in the outfield with a quick first step and awareness. Simply put, Ryan plays the game in all facets and will help a program in the long run.
 

Alex Wallace (2023, Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) is another enticing package on the hill. The right-hander is up to 91 mph with arm-side run in on righties. Changeup is his primary off-speed in the mid-70s with good life and shape low in the zone. Developing more feel for a low-70s curveball with 11-5 shape and depth. Has plenty to fill out in his lanky 6-foot-7, 200-pound frame and uses his long levers to get downhill and create good momentum and extension in his delivery. Repeats it well along with the size to project at the next level.

Grant Yzermans (2023, Murrieta, Calif.) possesses athletic traits and speed that show up in game. At the plate, Yzermans employs a compact right-handed swing with quick hands to all fields and takes it where it’s given. The swing stays on an even path and projects for some added pop as he develops physically. A sub-6.60 runner, his speed and first-step quickness stretches for extra bags consistently. He charges well in the outfield with the arm strength and accuracy to match.
 

Brandon Gutierrez (2023, Alta Loma, Calif.) oozes athleticism on the mound. The right-hander shows swing-and-miss ability with a potent two-pitch mix. Runs the fastball up to 86 mph with slight arm-side run. Flashes a slider in the mid-70s with good tilt and 8-4 bite low in the zone. Gutierrez has upside on both sides, but his arm talent continues to impress with each outing. There is some projection left in his frame along with his skill set. He’s an uncommitted talent that has performed very well to this point.
 

Richard Tejeda III (2023 Riverside, Calif.) is a sturdy 6-foot, 200-pound catcher with good amounts of athleticism and pop. The skills behind the plate are tough to find for an uncommitted catcher. He shows soft hands and great receiving skills, able to back pick runners and time his throws with ease. The ball comes out of the hand cleanly with good arm strength and carry. His physicality at the plate has present power to both gaps, able to get extended and keep the barrel steady through contact. Tejada III has the skills to stick behind the dish and feel for the right-handed stick.
 

Michael Castaneda (2023, San Jose, Calif.) brings a physical two-way element to his game. His strength and power are present in the swing with some easy pull-side drive. The arm talent can play on the mound or stick at a corner spot. He works downhill and up tempo, showcasing a lively fastball up to 87 mph and a 12-6 curveball that projects well as he continues to fill out. He has the size and strength to contribute in a multitude of ways.
 

Braden Clancy (2023, Folsom, Calif.) is a promising 5-foot-9, 170-pound middle infielder hailing from California. Clancy knows his way in the box with good plate discipline and feel for adjusting to spin out of the hand. His simple right-handed swing is quick through the zone and flashes some pull-side juice when squared. The hands work well and stay controlled through contact. Clancy has crisp lateral movements that stand out defensively. He stays balanced and fundamental on the dirt and makes a fair amount of plays.

DIII Rankings: February 18
Nick Herfordt

Every spring, Division III baseball begins as a wide-open map. Cold mornings turn into long bus rides, non-conference gauntlets test resolve, and by the time the dust settles, only a few teams are still standing with a clear line to the NCAA Division III baseball tournament. The 2026 Perfect Game Division III Baseball Rankings capture that moment before the stretch run, highlighting the programs that have separated themselves through depth, durability, and an ability to win in a variety of ways. These eight teams are not simply piling up wins; they are shaping identities built to survive the grind and thrive when the margins narrow.  The destination is familiar, even if the journey never is. Once again, the final chapter will be written at Classic Park, where timing, composure, and roster balance matter as much as raw talent. The teams ranked here enter 2026 with more than ambition....

Pacific Northwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
NORTHWEST REGION (WA, OR, ID, WY, AK, MT, HI)    The biggest change in the Northwest Region for 2026 is the addition of Hawaii, which has always been overlooked due to being lumped with California in the former Pacific Region.  This also coincides with an increased Perfect Game presence in the islands in the form of additional events and scouting.  And Hawaii certainly contributed in it’s first year, placing four players on the All-Region team, including slugging 2026 outfielder Judah Ota. The powerhouse Puyallup HS team is the only Northwest Region team to be represented in the PG Pre-Season Top 50 National HS Rankings, beginning the year ranked 26th.  C – Teagan Scott (Sr., South Salem HS, Ore.) Scott has been on the prospect map since he played in the 2023 PG 14U Select Festival and is signed with Oregon State.  A right-handed hitter with lots...

Then vs. Now: '26 Class Look Back

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
One constant across our scouting staff is the volume of in-person looks we get at prospects during their high school years. With assignments at national tournaments and showcases throughout the calendar, we’ve built a deep library of reports and video on many of today’s top college prospects dating back to their prep days. This week, we took a step back to revisit what those players looked like as high school prospects. Which tools stood out? What was missing from the profile at the time? And what, if anything, did we overlook that ultimately helped shape the player they’ve become? Below, we break down 10 players in a “Then and Now” reflection. Justin Lebron (23 FL) finishes off the tournament getting in on the hit parade with a single to the pullside. #PGShowdown #Bama commit pic.twitter.com/C4Irym2ZTR — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) March 4, 2023...

Grady Emerson (‘26 TX) laces this ball to right for a walk off single. Clean lefty stroke. Looks the part both sides of the ball. Checks all the boxes. Will be scouted heavily this Spring. #PGHS #HookEm commit. #PGDraft pic.twitter.com/wXvdHdgqME — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) February 6, 2026 Grady Emerson (2026, Argyle, Texas) had a strong showing throughout the opening week of high school baseball out here in Texas. Works good at-bats and is always a tough out in general. Makes all the plays at short and just has the look of a future big leaguer. He does all the little things right. Bat to ball will play at a high level and there is still a lot more power to project on here. There is a reason why Emerson is one of, if not the most highly coveted high school prospect in the 2026 class and it’s easy to see why. Currently committed to Texas, but has the potential to...

BURLINGTON, IA - Perfect Game Softball Winter One Day Tournament, February 15, 2026. Twelve teams, split between the 16u and 18u divisions, participated in this event.  With two pool games, and then a move into single elimination bracket play,  some players used this tournament as  their last warm-up before kicking off their high school seasons, while others were tuning up for the busy Spring and Summer travel season. In the 16u division, it was the Iowa Aries 16u Ce Fire Red taking the championship, with Southeast Iowa Allstars 18u Gold Miller earning the crown in the 18u division.

Just a couple of weeks into the 2026 season, several teams have already hit the ground running, namely Walters State, Florida Southwestern, Chipola, Johnson County, Florence-Darlington, and Pearl River. A little further down the rankings, we’ve seen some significant movement. The College of Southern Nevada surged up several spots after a strong 12-2 start, while Gaston has turned heads with an unblemished 14-0 record. We also welcome a few new additions in the 20s: Fresno City and Panola. Neither program debuted inside our top 50, but both have certainly earned their place in this week’s rankings. We’re looking forward to another exciting week of early spring baseball, as teams across the country continue to find their rhythm before conference play begins. Rk.

Ohio Valley All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
OHIO VALLEY REGION (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH) The Ohio Valley Region has a healthy amount of top-level talent, as it features five Perfect Game All-Americans in shortstop Ethan Bass, third baseman TJ McQuillan, two-way stand out Matt Ponatoski and right-handed pitchers Shawn Sullivan and Grayson Willoughby.  The 2027 class looks very strong as well, especially in Illinois. A couple of things are missing from the Ohio Valley All-Region team, though.  The first is the two best outfielders in the region, as 2027 Illinois outfielder Sebastian Wilson is attending IMG Academy in Florida and fellow 2027 outfielder Noah Goettke from Ohio is attending P27 Academy in South Carolina.  Also missing are any players from Michigan, which enjoyed a dominant run of top prospects in recent years largely behind the Lake Orchard St. Mary’s HS program.  2027 catcher Broder Katke (Brother...
