Regional Previews: Florida | Georgia | Pacific | Deep South | Texas | Southwest | Coastal

States Represented: NJ, PA, MD, DE, DC



Middle infielder Kevin McGonigle is the Mid-Atlantic Region’s only PG All-American but the left-handed hitter is also the fifth ranked player in the 2023 class and has an outstanding chance to be a first round draft pick this July.  The Region’s strength this year is in their pitching, as all five pitchers on the team, led by New Jersey senior right-hander Steven Echavarria and Pennsylvania junior right-hander Tegan Kuhns, have plenty of projectability remaining. 

The Mid-Atlantic Region features three teams in the PG Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, led by Archbishop Spalding HS (Mary.) in the 28th slot.  The Cavalier’s have at least five pitchers with D1 commits on their pitching staff, including high ceiling junior right hander Jake Yeager.  Ranney HS and Don Bosco Prep, ranked 39th and 41st respectfully, run neck and neck as the top team in New Jersey entering the spring.

C –  Aidan Paradine (Jr., Bayonne HS, N.J.)
Paradine is a strong and mature catcher with big offensive potential for the position.  A right-handed hitter, Paradine has a high contact swing that has produced only 33 strikeouts  versus 65 walks in 160 career PG games to go with a .392-3-122 line.  He’s committed to Georgia Tech

1B –  Amari Allen (Sr., Sherwood HS, D.C.)
Allen dominated on both sides of the ball for the Maryland Class 4A champions as a junior, hitting 506-13-47 and going 9-0, 0.44 on the mound with 81 strikeouts in 48 innings.  The 6-foot-4, 225-pound southpaw has huge left-handed power and has been up to 91 mph on the mound.

MIF –  Kevin McGonigle (Sr. Monsignor Bonner HS, Pa.)
McGonigle is the fifth ranked player overall in the 2023 class nationally and is considered a strong bet to hear his name picked in the first round of the draft.  A 6.56 runner who profiles best at second base in the future, the left-handed hitting McGonigle is widely considered to have the best “Hit” tool in the 2023 class.

MIF –  Lee Ellis (Sr., Pro5 Baseball Academy, Mary.)
Ellis is a very quick twitch and athletic middle infielder who is ranked 73rd overall in the 2023 class nationally.  His tools really stood out at the 2022 PG National Showcase, where he ran a 6.41 sixty and threw 96 mph during infield drills.  The right-handed hitter and South Carolina signee played at Bishop McNamara HS in Maryland as a junior but is attending Pro5 Academy in North Carolina this spring.

3B –  Andre Modugno (Jr., IMG Academy, N.J.)
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Modugno is a physically impressive and very toolsy athlete with a high ceiling.  He’s a 6.54 runner even at his size and has the athleticism to stay on the left side of the infield, including 96 mph arm strength across the diamond.  A right-handed hitter, better and more consistent contact will the be key to his future development.

OF –  AJ Gracia (Sr., Ranney HS, N.J.)
Gracia is a two-way standout for Ranney High School’s defending state champions as a left-handed pitcher and power hitting outfielder.  He hit 12 home runs as a junior last spring and is a career .366 hitter with a 1.011 OPS in PG play.  The Duke signee is likely a primary outfielder at the college level but his upper 80’s fastball will likely get him a look on the mound as well.

OF –  Chase Krewson (Sr., South Fayette Township HS, Pa.)
Krewson is the second outfielder on the Mid-Atlantic All-Region team who has signed with Duke and will be joining AJ Gracia in the ACC next year.  Krewson is a very similar player as a strong-armed left-hander with some power in his bat.  He hit .400 in PG games last year and has a 94 mph outfield throw to his credit.

OF –  Luca Reyes (Sr., Bergen Catholic HS, N.J.)
The left-handed hitting Reyes is a very projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pound outfielder who will be attending Miami next year.  He hit .414-2-27 last spring for Bergen Catholic High School and has hit .340 with a .993 OPS over the last two years in PG play. 

RHP –  Steven Echavarria (Sr., Milburn HS, N.J.)
Echavarria is the top ranked senior prospect in New Jersey and it would surprise few scouts if he took a big step forward this spring and became a Day One draft prospect.  Echavarria is young for the 2023 class and has very fast and loose arm that has produced a fastball up to 94 mph to go with a nasty 80 mph slider that is his best pitch.  He went 6-2, 1.79 with 50 strikeouts in 39 innings for Milburn HS last spring.

RHP –  Miguel Hugas (Sr., Shaler Area HS, Pa.)
Hugas, who came to the United States from Venezuela in 2020, created a stir at the 2022 PG National Showcase when he unleashed a PG record 102 mph throw from the outfield during drills.  The 6-foot-3, 215-pound athlete obviously didn’t match that on the mound but did work up to 94 mph with good command of his fastball to go with a very effective change up.

RHP – Alex Kranzler (Sr., Old Tappan HS, N.J.)
Kranzler took a big jump with his fastball in 2022, going from an upper 80’s thrower as a sophomore to a mid-90’s arm as a junior, topping out at 96 mph at PG events to go with a slider and change up.  A Vanderbilt signee, Kranzler is a two-way standout in high school as he hit .514-3-26 as a junior along with striking out 114 hitters in 73 innings while only issuing 18 walks.

RHP –  Tegan Kuhns (Jr., Gettysburg Area HS, Pa.)
Kuhns is the top ranked junior in Pennsylvania and the 28th overall ranked prospect in the 2024 class nationally.  The very projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound right-hander has been up to 93 mph at PG events with lots more in his arm, with his best pitch being a power curveball with 2,800+ spin rates and hard downer bite. 

RHP – Blake Morningstar (Sr., Wyalusing Valley HS, Pa.)
Morningstar is a strong bodied 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-hander with a fastball that tops out at 94 mph to go with a power curveball that is his best pitch both in terms of quality and in command.  A Wake Forest signee, Morningstar is also a standout on the basketball court and has surpassed 1,000 points in his high school hoops career.

UT – Tommy Roldan (Jr., Georgetown Prep, Mary.)
Roldan is a primary left-handed pitcher and comes armed with a three-pitch mix that includes a fastball that tops out at 92 mph, an outstanding change up and a late breaking slider, all from a very deceptive delivery that makes his raw stuff play up.  It wouldn’t be surprising to see him suit up both ways for Virginia during his career there, as he’s an athletic outfielder/first baseman with 6.81 speed and some pop in his bat.


Mid-Atlantic Region Top Tools


Best Hitter for Average: Kevin McGonigle (Sr. Monsignor Bonner HS, Pa.)
McGonigle’s short and powerful swing produced a .506 average with 11 home runs in 27 games to go along with only two strikeouts last spring.  He’s a career .409 hitter in 122 PG games in his career and has only strike out 22 time in nearly 400 plate appearances in that time.

Best Hitter for Power: Andre Modugno (Jr., IMG Academy, N.J.)
Modugno gets the nod here for raw power but otherwise this category is a toss-up.  Amauri Allen and AJ Gracia have better barrel skills and put up real home run numbers, while Kevin McGonigle produces power numbers simply because he squares the ball up virtually every time he comes to the plate.

Best Runner: Lee Ellis (Sr., Pro5 Baseball Academy, Mary.)
The Mid-Atlantic Region isn’t full of speedsters, which makes the lightning quick Ellis stand out in this category.

Best Defensive Catcher: Gavin Kelly (Jr., Pittsburgh Central Catholic HS, Pa.)
Kelly is a former middle infielder with 6.7 speed who has transitioned to a full-time catcher.  That middle infield athleticism and quickness has already been very impressive in his overall defense behind the plate.

Best Defensive Infielder: Lee Ellis (Sr., Pro5 Baseball Academy, Mary.)
Ellis has some of the best middle infield tools in the country and his athleticism plays up in games as well.  He and McGonigle would be an outstanding middle infield pair playing together, with Ellis manning shortstop and McGonigle second base.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Chase Krewson (Sr., South Fayette Township HS, Pa.)
Krewson has a nice combination of speed and arm strength and plenty of experience running down balls in center field.

Best Defensive Arm: Miguel Hugas (Sr., Shaler Area HS, Pa.)
Yes, Hugas is a primary pitcher but when you hold a PG record for outfield velocity, that gets you on the list.  It will be interesting to see if that arm strength that Hugas has shown from the outfield can result in a bump in his fastball velocity on the mound.

Best Fastball: Alex Kranzler (Sr., Old Tappan HS, N.J.)
Kranzler has a big and strong 6-foot-3, 212-pound power pitcher’s body and a power pitcher’s approach to attacking hitters.  There are plenty of reports that he’s been over his PG high of 96 mph already this spring.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: Tegan Kuhns (Jr., Gettysburg Area HS, Pa.)
Kuhns curveball is the top breaking ball in the Region and has a chance to be one of the top breaking balls in the 2024 class, especially as Kuhns continues to fill out and get stronger and add even more power to the pitch.

Best Pitchability: Zachary Konstantinovsky (Sr., North Brunswick HS, N.J.)
Konstantinovsky’s number from his junior spring are absurd, as the right-hander went 7-0, 0.71 with 119 strikeouts and only TWO walks in 67 innings.  The Rutgers signee has topped out at 90 mph at PG events with precise command of his curveball and change up.  His PG numbers don’t look too much different than his high school numbers:  61 strikeouts versus four walks in 33 innings over the last two years.

Best Multi-Sport Athlete: Johnathan Coombs (So. DeMatha HS, Mary.)
Coombs, who goes by the nickname “Bud” for football, is the 67th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally in baseball but may end up just as highly ranked as a running back in football by the time he’s a senior.  The 5-10-185-pound speedster is already collecting offers from some of the top programs in the country.

Flores posted a 2.78 ERA over 32.1 innings as a freshman before a limited sophomore campaign in which he logged just 12 innings.

643 DP Last Team Standing at East WS

Will Dembo
Article Image
Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...

Canes Walk Off In Florida Elite Champ.

Alyssa Golden

A tightly contested battle between Canes Florida 2029 and Florida Flames 16u capped the 16U Florida Elite Championship, with the Canes earning a 6-5 walk-off win on Monday at JetBlue Park Stadium. “It means a lot to this team specifically because this is their first win as a group,” Canes head coach Alec Bettinger said. “We’ve come up short a couple times, so seeing one go through the hoop here is really nice for the boys.” The Canes defense came out hot, led by Cannon Tyler who started on the mound for the Canes. Tyler set the tone from the start, opening the game with a strikeout. He allowed no hits while striking out three over five innings. His fastball sat 77-82 mph. Another strikeout and a pickoff at second base ended the inning. Race McDaniel started on the mound for the Flames. The left-hander pitched six innings, striking out seven batters. The...
