High School All-Americans

Tyler Russo
Cam McElwaney
National High School Player of the Year | Maxwell Clark, Franklin Community (IN)

It’s no surprise really that Clark was in the discussion for National Player of the Year given he’s put up some of the country’s best numbers for years now and he’s nearly a lock to go in the first handful of picks in this year’s draft. His senior campaign, he was pitched around, tallying 52 walks across just 29 games, but when he wasn’t he did damage. He hit .646 on the year, while hammering six home runs, driving in over 30 and reaching base at over an .800 clip, a ridiculous line in getting on base over eight out of every 10 times he stepped in the box. Add in that he only struck out five times in the entire season and played stellar on the other side of the ball, and you’ve got a deserving National Player of the Year that barely edged out Walker Martin.

National High School Pitcher of the Year | Christian Rodriguez, Stoneman Douglas (FL)

Rodriguez has had one of the more storied high school careers down in Florida at powerhouse Stoneman Douglas, having won three consecutive state titles over the last three years, which included a pair of National Championships. In his senior year, he led them on the mound to a perfect 29-0 finish, going 12-0 with a 0.69 ERA across 70 innings, striking out 117 and only walking 13 in all of that. He added some solid numbers with the bat as well, but it was his impact on the mound that was probably single most crucial piece to Stoneman Douglas’ perfect run, and second National Championship in just the last three years. If he doesn’t sign in this year’s MLB draft, he’ll head to Gainesville and look to contribute early on for the Gators.



National High School Two-Way Player of the Year | Bryce Eldridge, James Madison (VA)

Eldridge was a two-way hero for the 18U Team USA club this past year, and he took all of that skill on both sides of the ball and helped James Madison to a state title in a historic year. Seen likely as the top two-way talent in this year’s draft, Eldridge went 11-0 on the mound, keeping a 1.30 ERA across 53 innings on the spring, and striking out 88, while offensively he hit well over .400 and had nine home runs to go with 25 runs driven in. He’s a monster physically and he was every bit the catalyst for James Madison’s success this spring. Where he goes in the draft is yet to be determined, but wherever he ends up starting at the next level, he’s got skills both ways.

National High School Underclass Player of the Year | Cade Brown, Parkview (GA)

Brown has been a solid player for a few years now, but his game was taken to a new level over the course of the last year and he put that fully on display for Parkview this spring, one of the country’s top programs year in and year out. As just a junior, he hit in the heart of the order and finished the year with a .486 average and 14 home runs while driving in over 50 and scoring almost 50 times himself. In addition, he walked over 20 times, leading to a near .600 on-base percentage, and given the additions he’s had in terms of power and consistency, he’s got a real shot to surpass these numbers next spring and become one of the more followed hitters in the state, and country, from a draft perspective.

National High School Underclass Pitcher of the Year | Landon Victorian, Barbe (LA)

Victorian is no stranger to the spotlight as he’s one of the country’s top pitching prospects in the 2024 class, and he once again was a catalyst for Barbe’s historic season as they went 39-1 in route to another state championship and a #2 national ranking at the close of the year. On the year, he went 8-0 and had just a 0.97 ERA, throwing 50 innings and striking out 80, but maybe the most impressive stat is that he walked just FOUR guys over the course of those 50 innings, something you don’t see at any level, and especially so as just an underclassman pitching for one of the country’s top programs in a gauntlet of a schedule having played 40 games this year. He’ll once again be the ace for them next spring and will have a chance to establish himself as someone that could go in the first couple of rounds when we turn over to the 2024 draft cycle.


2023 First Team High School All-Americans

Pos. Name Class School State Commitment
C Luke Stevenson SR Wake Forest NC North Carolina
1B Bryce Eldridge SR James Madison VA Alabama
2B Steven Milam SR Centennial NM LSU
SS Walker Martin SR Eaton CO Arkansas
3B Trent Caraway SR JSerra Catholic CA Oregon State
OF Maxwell Clark SR Franklin Community IN Vanderbilt

P Christian Rodriguez SR Stoneman Douglas FL Florida
P Tate McGuire SR Liberty North MO Arkansas
P Bryce Johnson SR Eastlake WA Oregon State
P Dylan Loy SR Pigeon Forge TN Tennessee
P Noble Meyer SR Jesuit OR Oregon


C | Luke Stevenson, Wake Forest (NC)
Stevenson had an outstanding year as a catalyst for one of North Carolina’s top programs, falling just short of a state title. He hit .512 with 11 doubles and 17 home runs, while his 37 walks was a lot and helped add to his .648 on-base percentage. He only struck out 10 times in 33 games and drove in 58 runs; he’s a big riser in the state and one of the more talented catchers in the country.

1B | Bryce Eldridge, James Madison (VA)
 National Two-Way Player of the Year (See Above).

2B | Steven Milam, Centennial (NM)
Milam led the state of New Mexico in a bunch of categories; he hit .627 and had an OBP up near .750, while his 42 walks was a huge number to go with seven home runs, 50 RBI, 65 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and just eight strikeouts across over 30 games. He’s a very pure hitter and his hit tool is something that should certainly carry over as he heads to play at LSU at the college level.

SS | Walker Martin, Eaton (CO)
Martin had an unbelievable year offensively and would take home National Player of the Year honors in just about any other season. He helped lead Eaton to a perfect 29-0 record, and state title, while hitting .633 with a country-leading 20 home runs and a whopping 75 RBIs, scoring 64 times himself, and ended the year with a 2.355 OPS while striking out only six times in 29 games played. He’s flown up draft boards and could potentially be a first rounder next month.

3B | Trent Caraway, JSerra Catholic (CA)
Caraway had a phenomenal year for the state of California’s top program in 2023, helping them to a Southern Section Division I Championship. He broke the school’s previous single season hits record, which led him to a .462 average while tacking on 11 doubles and seven home runs, some of the better totals in the state as well. He’s climbed boards as well and could be a Day 1 guy.

OF | Maxwell Clark, Franklin Community (IN)
 National Player of the Year (See Above).

OF | Drew Burress, Houston County (GA)
Burress is one of the more storied performers in terms of his amateur career to this point and his senior campaign was a big one, leading Houston Country to a state title in Georgia. He hit .430 with 13 home runs, as well as 17 doubles, and drove in 59 while scoring over 50 times himself. The offensive numbers are huge, and when necessary, he got on the mound and closed games out.

OF | Bristol Carter, Northwest Guilford (NC)
Carter had a strong year to close out his high school career and helped Northwest Guilford to a good finish. He hit .546, logging almost 60 hits on the season, and 25 went for extra-bases as he had nine home runs. In addition, he scored 60 times himself, and drove in over half that, while the OPS got up over 1.600 thanks to his additional 27 walks; he’s committed to East Carolina.

DH | Carson Rucker, Goodpasture Christian (TN)
Rucker is a plenty talented defensive prospect, but just fits into this spot because of his offensive numbers that were deserving of being first team. He just casually hit .500 across over 40 games, while slugging 18 home runs and 16 doubles, driving in 81 and scoring almost 60 times himself. He helped his team to a state runner-up finish and was just the offensive catalyst all spring long.

UT | Cooper Pratt, Magnolia Heights (MS)
Pratt was the leader on a Magnolia Heights team that won yet another state title and was one of the top teams in the country this year. Getting it done both ways, he was 10-0 on the mound with a miniscule 0.14 ERA, while offensively he hit .469 with four home runs, 50 runs driven in and 38 stolen bags. He’s one of the more talented guys in this year’s class and can really get it done on both sides of the ball.

P | Christian Rodriguez, Stoneman Douglas (FL)
 National Pitcher of the Year (See Above).

P | Tate McGuire, Liberty North (MO)
McGuire was the ace on a Liberty North team that had one of the best years in program history on their way to a state title and a Top 20 national ranking. On the mound, he went 11-0 with just a 0.23 ERA and struck out 109 across 59 innings against walking just 16 guys all spring long. He’s got big stuff and has a chance to be impactful pretty early on for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

P | Bryce Johnson, Eastlake (WA)
Johnson was excellent all spring long as Eastlake made their way to winning the state’s 4A title. He went 12-0 and had just a 0.37 ERA across 76 innings, and his 110 strikeouts to 13 walks was one of the better ratios in the entire country from this past springs. He’s headed to Oregon State.

P | Dylan Loy, Pigeon Forge (TN)
Loy has always been a guy that can really pitch and his numbers this year certainly speak to that. He went 11-1, posting one of the best ERAs in the entire country for his innings logged at just 0.10, while striking out a ridiculous 169 hitters in roughly 70 innings, and walking just 11 guys.

P | Noble Meyer, Jesuit (OR)
Meyer is widely regarded as the top high school right-hander in the country for this year’s draft and his numbers can certainly back that up when you pair them with the stuff. Although he fell short of capturing a title, he went 10-2 on the year with a 0.41 ERA and struck out 142 in just 69 innings pitched. He’s got a very real chance to go in the first 10 picks in next month’s draft.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways
Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Area Code Gams: Prospect Recap

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic.

He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger.
