Jupiter Uncommitted Standouts: Hitters

With the 2022 WWBA World Championships coming to an end earlier this week, uncommitted players from across the country left their mark on the amateur baseball world, with hoards of college recruiters looking on, meaning some of these players won't be uncommitted for too much longer. Part 1 of this project looks at some of the hitters who stood out, with a follow-up article soon looking at pitchers who opened some eyes and lit up the radar guns. 
 

Jeffrey Davis (2023, Moline, Ill.) had a big event with seven hits in just five games in Jupiter. He has an athletic 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame with lots of strength in the hands. His short stroke from both sides has plenty of accuracy and sticks to a solid line drive approach, also finding the green on a pair of doubles.

Seth Rajacich (2023, Apple Valley, Calif.) has a projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with loose levers and good length through the zone. He gets good whip and creates back spin to all fields. The approach is patient and he can work walks, but did show some aggressive traits with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in a few as well. This is a good left-handed bat to build on at the next level.



Kale Fountain (2024 Lincoln, NE) had an impressive week hitting over .300 with a massive homerun that cleared the trees on the Marlins quad. He is a strong right handed hitter with a physical presence at 6-5/226. He can handle either corner infield spot, but there is no reason that he should not develop longterm at third base. The underclassman hit in the middle of the order and produced. 

Andrew Swenson (2023, Enola, Pa.) used his quick bat to hit .500 during the event, including a homer. He has a frame that can easily add strength to help continue to build the power profile, but he is best staying in the middle of the field. The profile fits the top of the order as he also swiped five bags, showing good instincts and timing on the bases.

Noah Konings (2023, Bramton, Ontario) has a strong 6-foot, 180-pound build that creates solid bat speed through contact. He had six hits on the weekend, belting a double, on his way to hitting .375. He is also a solid runner, putting up 6.8 times in the 60-yard dash.

Bradley Garner (2023, Richmond, Va.) notched five hits during his four games in South Florida, showing the ability to hit velocity during the event. There is some power and lift in the swing and the 6-foot-1, 182-pounder has lots of room to add strength. Garner could also be used in multiple spots on the dirt.

Zekey Borel (2023, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) put together a very consistent week, hitting over .300 with a double to go with his four walks. He also showed solid ability to hit with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in three runs. He has an athletic look with a 6-foot, 185-pound frame and looks the part of a future power hitting corner outfielder.

Corey Fields (2023, Acworth, Ga.) is an explosive athlete with well above-average wheels that can be used on both sides of the ball to help change games. The right-handed hitter hit a robust .600 on the weekend and blistered a double and a triple during a great showing at the WWBA World Championship.  

Jacob Cooper (2023, Douglasville, Ga.) is a very physical 5-foot-11, 195-pound backstop and looks like a throwback behind the dish. He has big forearms that help create a ton of impact when out front. The powerful right-handed hitter blasted a homer during the event and hit a solid .400 on the weekend.


Drew Reaves (2023, Pensacola, Fla.) was featured in our uncommitted gems article before the event, and he did not disappoint. He has a compact swing and lots of bat-to-ball skills to go with his toughness in the right-handed batters' box. The well-rounded infielder has traits that can play early at the next level.

Luis Castillo (2023, Talbott, Tenn.) can be the guy you want to walk off the bus first with his Greek God-like 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame. He had a monster Jupiter, hitting .444 with a 1.694 OPS, barreling three extra-base hits, including a homer. There is monstrous power potential in the right-handed bat that should find its way into a middle of the lineup at the next level.

Ethan Bosley (2023, Edgewood, Ky.) used a very mature approach to display on-base skills during his time in Jupiter. He walked three times, clubbed three hits, and split the outfield for a triple. The right-handed hitter seemed to be on time during all his at-bats and with that type of hit tool, he should garner more interest.

Logan Chapman (2023, Apopka, Fla.) brought a calm, mature disposition to the right-handed box in Jupiter. He hit from start to finish and it resulted in a .538 average and 1.262 OPS. He has strength and fluidity that should allow him to continue to hit while the power will organically come.

Walker Vanecek (2023, Riverview, Fla.) hit .500 with a double during the most competitive tournament of the year. His 6-foot, 215-pound frame already has lots of strength, and his ability to identify pitches should give him a quality power/patience profile early on at the next level. He had a big 2022 circuit, producing over a 1.000 OPS with five homers.


Ariel Antigua (2023, Lake Worth, Fla.) was the event MVP and seemed to be the guy you wanted in the box to get the big hit. He had two doubles,  a homer, five walks, five RBI, and scored nine runs to absolutely stuff an event line. He also stole three bags and played sure-handed at shortstop on his way to a championship.

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

Big Offense Wins TBT/FTB Phillies Scout WWBA Freshman Title Runs scoring in every inning led to the TBT/FTB Phillies Scout Team taking home the 2026 PG WWBA Freshman World Championship - winning over Canes National 15U 10-5. It had been a long week in West Palm Beach for the freshmen coming in from around the country to go up against the best of the best. While they had gotten to play on the backfields during the whole tournament, the players who made it to the championship game got to play it in the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches Stadium. TBT/FTB showed their defensive strength right away - executing quickly to retire each of the first three batters. With the bats in their hands, they also showed speed to deliver - with Luca Briggs batting Trey Vandergriff in for the first run of the game and Kingston George quickly plating Briggs with a double in the next at-bat. In the first at-bat of...

‘31 Ryan Spann (GA) obliterates this ball for a solo HR 💣. Ball jumps off barrel & shows the juice and & PS impact. 3x @PGSelectFest alum. #BeastOfTheEast @PG_Georgia https://t.co/TgVGPfDRYc — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 10, 2026 Ryan Spann (2031, Warner Robins, Ga.) took home MVP honors after a standout weekend and finishing as the number one player on the top performers list. The top player from Georgia and number two player in the country led all performers in home runs (2) and tallied 7 RBIs on his way to a .400 average. The overall profile on Spann is super advanced for the age with electric offensive upside and one of if not the prettiest swing in the class. This will be a fun follow for years to come and I am all in. Carlo Rivero (2031, Apopka, Fla.) checks in as the number one overall player in the class and it’s easy to see why at...

Article Image
East Cobb/SD Padres ST Explode Late for WWBA Worlds Win A hard-fought, crazy ending resulted in the East Cobb/SD Padres scout team coming back and winning the 2026 PG WWBA World Championship over the SBA/Marlins Scout Team 2028. The score was 8-7 after the championship was won with a walk-off balk. After going against some of the most talented, highly-ranked players in the country for the past couple days, it was finally time for the championship game at Roger Dean Complex Stadium in Jupiter, FL. The WWBA World Championship, or, as it’s more commonly and lovingly referred to as, “Jupiter,” has become a favorite for all who have been part of its iconic, golf-cart infested, electric atmosphere. This championship game was sure to entertain. The first two innings were scoreless for both teams as they got settled. Both defenses were making plays - SBA/Marlins executed a...

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 4

Marcus Thomas

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 James Watson (2030, Canton, Ga.) showed the two-way upside to start bracket play for East Cobb Astros 15u. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went three innings and with three strikeouts and spread five hits and two walks for three runs. Watson works from a hybrid windup from the middle-of-the-rubber into a small heel-turn and an around-the-belt leg lift before using drop-and-drive back leg mechanics into a longer, in-line stride down the mound. Showed some feel to get extension down the mound. The hands separate into a moderate arm action before accelerating through from an over-the-top arm angle. The fastball ran up to 86 with arm-side run and life. Paired it with a curveball with 11-5 shape and solid two-plane break. Mixed in a change-up in the upper- 70s with some vertical depth. Competed at the top of the zone well. Athletic...
