Pacific Northwest Region Preview

The Northwest Region is led by a deep group of talented pitchers, led by PG All-American right-hander Noble Meyer and potential first day southpaw Paul Wilson, both Oregon products. The Region seems to have lots of projectable arms just below the All-Region level that it’s easy to imagine blossoming after three years in college.

The All-Region team is composed entirely of players from either Oregon or Washington this year, although Idaho right-hander Robert Orloski (Sr., Middleton HS, Idaho) narrowly missed the cut for the pitching staff.

Jesuit High School in Portland is the only Region team in the PG Pre-Season Top 50, checking in at 46th overall. The Crusaders are led by Meyer, All-Region 3B/OF Levi Jones and senior shortstop Ryan Cooney, an Oregon signee.

C – Carson Ohland (Sr., Tahoma HS, Wash.)
Ohland is a switch-hitting catcher with a solid bat and hit .426-2-14 with 23 walks in 22 games as a sophomore. Where the Washington signee really stands out is on defense, where he combines outstanding lower half quickness and athleticism with a strong throwing arm.

1B – Brody Mills (Sr., West Valley HS, Wash.)
Mills is a two-way standout who could see action both ways at Washington in college. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound left handed hitter has big power at the plate and also throws in the upper 80s on the mound with a big breaking slider.

MIF – Mason Pike (So., Puyallup HS, Wash.)
Like fellow All-Region honoree Xavier Neyens, Pike was a participant in the 2021 PG 14U Select Festival and is the 25th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally. A switch-hitter with strong barrel skills, Pike has all the athleticism to stay in the middle infield for the long term, including an arm that is already 90+ on the mound.

MIF – Sebastian David (Sr., Lakeside, HS, Wash.)
David is a very athletic middle infielder with 6.61 speed in the sixty and outstanding body control on defense. A right-handed hitter, David has some strength in his 6-foot-1, 195-pound build and can drive the ball to the gaps. The Stanford signee was named to the All-Tournament team at the 2022 WWBA World Championships while hitting .357 in six games.

3B – Xavier Neyens (So., Mount Verson HS, Wash.)
The 6-foot-4 Neyens is a former primary catcher who has moved to third base after outgrowing the catching position offensively. The 10th ranked player in the 2025 class, Neyens has outstanding left-handed bat speed and could develop top of the scale power as he continues to mature. His arm strength at third base won’t be a question as he’s already been up to 92 mph on the mound.

OF – Levi Jones (Sr., Jesuit HS, Ore.)
Jones is a primary third baseman but also plays outfield, where his 6.64 speed and 89 mph outfield arm will make him solid defensively out on the grass. His best tool is his left-handed bat and Jones hit .400-7-33 for Jesuit High School as a junior. He’s signed with Oregon State.

OF – Maxton Martin (Sr., Southridge HS, Wash.)
Martin is a the brother of Pittsburgh Pirates AAA first baseman Mason Martin and has lots of the same attributes as his older brother, who was drafted in the 17th round in 2017 out of Southridge High School. He’s a strong 6-foot-1, 205-pound left-handed hitter with tons of juice in his bat.

OF – Grady Woodward (Jr., Eastlake HS, Wash.)
Woodward is a very toolsy 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed hitter with center field tools on defense. He’s a high ceiling bat with outstanding hitting mechanics and very good bat speed for his age. The Washington commit hit .338-2-22 as a sophomore with 23 walks and 14 steals in 25 games.

LHP – Bjorn Johnson (Sr., Lincoln HS, Wash.)
Johnson is a very projectable 6-foot-2, 175-pound left hander with a fastball that can reach 91-92 mph to go with an outstanding changeup and a short well-controlled slider. He posted a 0.89 ERA as a junior with 68 strikeouts in 42 innings while also hitting .368 as a first baseman. Unlike many of his peers in the Northwest, Johnson is going cross country to attend school at Auburn.

RHP – Dane Lais (Sr., Oregon City HS, Ore.)
Lais has a big and strong body at 6-foot-4, 210-pounds and a smooth delivery that enables him to throw strikes with all three of his pitches. The Oregon State signee has already been seen in the 91-94 mph range this spring and also throws a low 80s slider and a change up.

RHP – Noble Meyer (Sr., Jesuit HS, Ore.)
Meyer was named the Oregon 6A State Pitcher of the Year in 2022 after going 10-0, 0.72 with 129 strikeouts in 58 innings. He’s the topped ranked right-handed pitcher in the 2023 class, checking in at eighth overall. Interestingly, Jesuit High School was also the home of right-hander Mick Abel, the Phillies first round pick in 2020.

RHP – Zach Swanson (Jr., Toutle Lake HS, Wash.)
Swanson is the highest ranked junior in the Region and checks in at 23rd overall in the 2024 class nationally. The highly athletic right-hander topped out at 94 mph at the 2022 WWBA World Championships to go with a swing and miss slider in an outstanding four-inning, one-hit, six-strikeout performance.

LHP – Paul Wilson (Sr., Lakeridge HS, Ore.)
The son of former MLB left-hander Trevor Wilson, Wilson was a dominant player on both sides of the ball as a junior, going 9-2, 0.74 with 155 strikeouts in 65 innings while also hitting .358-5-34. Wilson works in the low 90s consistently with his fastball and has an advanced ability to add and subtract from his breaking ball while throwing a changeup as well.

UT – Drew Rayment (Jr., Mt. Spokane HS, Wash.)
Rayment is 6-foot-5, 195-pound athlete with a complete tool box on the baseball field and is also an outstanding basketball player. He’s a 6.51 runner in the sixty with big left-handed power potential at the plate but may have a higher ceiling on the mound with a fastball that topped out in the upper 80s last summer to go with an 80 mph slider.

Northwest Region Top Tools

Best Hitter for Average: Levi Jones (Sr., Jesuit HS, Ore.)
Jones’ left-handed bat is already very advanced and he’s very smooth through the zone and sees the ball very well. He should be able to adjust to college level pitching immediately.

Best Hitter for Power: Xavier Neyens (So., Mount Verson HS, Wash.)
Neyens already has a swing geared for power with lots of natural lift and he doesn’t get cheated at the plate either. He still has plenty of room to add strength to his long 6-foot-4, 195-pound build.

Best Runner: Drew Rayment (Jr., Mt. Spokane HS, Wash.)
Rayment’s 1.46 10-yard split when he ran a 6.51 sixty really stands out for an athlete of his length. He might be the type who’s running 6.2’s or 6.3’s this summer.

Best Defensive Catcher: Carson Ohland (Sr., Tahoma HS, Wash.)
Ohland was so impressive defensively at the 2022 PG West MLK Championship that he was named Most Valuable Player for the event despite hitting only .231 over six games. He should be able to step in immediately behind the plate at the college level and excel.

Best Defensive Infielder: Sebastian David (Sr., Lakeside, HS, Wash.)
David is a polished defender who does his best work on the move where his athleticism really comes into play. His 90 mph infield arm strength is plenty to keep him on the left side of the field.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Grady Woodward (Jr., Eastlake HS, Wash.)
Woodward has the combination of length, speed and arm strength that almost invariably produces high level defenders in the outfield.

Best Defensive Arm: Xavier Neyens (So., Mount Verson HS, Wash.)
Neyens arm plays at any position on the field and is just going to keep getting better as the 16-year old sophomore fills out and gets even stronger.

Best Fastball: Noble Meyer (Sr., Jesuit HS, Ore.)
Meyer’s gained about 10 mph on his fastball between his sophomore and junior summers and now pitches consistently in the 94-96 mph range and tops out at 98. It seems like just a matter of time until he’s touching triple digits.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: Noble Meyer (Sr., Jesuit HS, Ore.)
Meyer’s mid-80s slider regularly generates spin rates in the elite 3,000-3,100 rpm range and has been two-plane break when he stays on top of the ball. He also throws an upper 80s changeup with some feel to it; just the concept of a high school arm throwing a viable upper 80s change up stands out.

Best Pitchability: Miles Gosztola (Sr., West Seattle HS, Wash.)
Gosztola is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound lefty who pitches in the upper 80s and occasionally touches higher to go with an outstanding curveball and solid changeup. He posted a perfect 0.00 ERA as a junior while striking out 97 hitters in 49 innings and only allowing 18 walks. Gosztola is signed with Gonzaga.

Best Multi-Sport Athlete: Zach Swanson (Jr., Toutle Lake HS, Wash.)
Swanson is an outstanding basketball player in addition to his ability on the mound and averaged well over 20 points a game as a junior, including a season high 38 points. He surpassed 1,000 points as a sophomore.

Iowa Spring League Notes: Week 1

Perfect Game Staff

Brooks Mitchell-Birdsell (2027, Atkins, Iowa) was solid on both sides of the ball this weekend. He was able to show a clean move working into it, with the feel to impact it out in front and drive hard through contact. He had good barrel accuracy with feel to drive the ball well, especially working pull-side. He was 4-for-8 on the weekend with a double to his credit, driving in 7 runs as well. Mitchell-Birdsell also put together a good outing on the mound, delivering 2 innings of scoreless work with 3 punchouts. He worked the low 80s with some run, flashing a mid-70s curveball with good 11-5 shape and depth. Maddux Mueller (2026, Amana, Iowa) LH bat with plenty to like in the batter’s box, and he put together a solid showing this weekend. He finished 2-for-3 with a double, demonstrating both contact ability and the capacity to drive the baseball for extra bases. Mueller...

Don't Boot the Loot Scout Notes

Cam McElwaney

‘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.

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,...

College Players of the Week: April 7

Craig Cozart

April 7th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF The UCF Knights (20-9) are coming off one of their biggest series victories in years when they went to Morgantown and took down the Mountaineers to take control of the Big 12 regular season standings. The offense put on quite the performance and Andrew Williamson set the tone by leaving the yard in his first at-bat of the weekend launching a towering home run over the centerfield wall. The 6-0/195 lefty from St. Petersburg, FL has one of the sweetest strokes in the college game today and when he goes, so do the Knights. In the 3-game series, the junior collected 6 hits in his 10 at-bats, scoring 6 runs, on 5 walks, a double and he launched 3 home runs all told. While he had a stretch earlier in the season where he was searching for his stroke a bit, he is getting locked in at the...

College Top 25: April 6

Vincent Cervino

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside. Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad. The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll. The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend. Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

PG Staff Mock Draft

Jheremy Brown

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors. Chicago White Sox 1:1 Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA | 1:41 Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame The White Sox don’t overthink here and select Roch Cholowsky, who has...

Lennex Minor (‘28 CA) absolutely destroys this offering to the PS for a 2-run shot. 2-4 on the day w/ 4 driven in. Athletic in the box w/ a quick stroke and strength throughout the frame.

The sophomore had a pair of hits, one which was a no-doubt homer, and drove in four. Minor’s athleticism jumps out on the field with twitchy actions both at the dish and in the dirt. He features a 6-foot, 170-pound frame with room to add and generates from a strong lower half and exceptionally quick hands. Showing two-way potential, he made an...
