Jupiter Uncommitted Standouts: Hitters

Photo: Ariel Antigua (Perfect Game)
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.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple. Functional & compact swing. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Tennessee pic.twitter.com/YVUfxbHBxx — Perfect Game...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino

In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger

Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 64

Ron Wolforth

What Do Barry Zito, Justin Verlander, Trevor Bauer, and Dallas Keuchel All Have in Common? By Ron Wolforth | Texas Baseball Ranch® | PG Arm Care Take a second and think about the question posed in the title before you read on. Four Cy Young Award winners. Four of the most decorated pitchers of their generation. What's the common thread? The first answer is obvious… they all won the most prestigious individual award in pitching. Most of you probably got there immediately. The second answer is less obvious… they all trained at the Texas Baseball Ranch® at some point in their development. Interesting, maybe, but not the point of this article. The third answer is the one I really want you to sit with, because it has direct relevance to your career right now: they all move completely differently. And they all attack hitters completely differently. Don't rush past that....

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 8

Nick Herfordt

We are past the midpoint of the college baseball season and the stakes are rising by the week. Conference races are tightening, schedules are getting harder, and the résumés that will matter in the selection room are being written right now — one series at a time. This week's most significant development came in Division II, where North Greenville swept Young Harris in three consecutive one-run games to claim the top spot for the first time this season, knocking Tampa from a perch they've held most of the year. It's a genuine changing of the guard at the top, and it's exactly the kind of shakeup that makes this stretch of the season worth paying close attention to. Across all three divisions the picture is coming into focus. In Division I NAIA, Georgia Gwinnett remains the standard while Taylor and Cumberlands continue to make their cases from behind. In Division III,...
