Mid-Atlantic All Region Team

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.

Class of 2027 Rankings Risers

Kyler Peterson

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall. John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo

2031 C/OF Jace Winston (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) had a really nice day at the dish as he picked up a couple hits in his first game, both well-struck, and then launched a bomb in game 2. He’s one of the more physical players here who can really impact the baseball already, and the consistency in which he’s hitting this fall is a great sign going into 2027. 2031 SS/RHP Weston Stalls (Blackstock, S.C.) came in for a couple innings of relief on the day and showed off the arm talent running the fastball up to 87. It’s a fast arm and he generates real life to the fastball, while the breaking ball is a good pitch as well. ‘31 SS Parker Smith (NC) went 3-for-3 to open the weekend, this a line drive single the other way. 6’2/140 & can accelerate the barrel already, intriguing projection. #NatAllState @PG_Coastal https://t.co/Z7C5kDGdIM — Perfect Game...

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Craig Cozart

Virginia Cavaliers 2026 In Review: Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history. Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional. They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft. While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen. With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again. Impact Returners: Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 70

Ron Wolforth

That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

Ron Wolforth

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing. They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...
