Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Pitchers

Perfect Game Staff
Photo: Jack Sharp (Perfect Game)
With nearly the entire scouting staff on site for the 2023 WWBA World Championship, several uncommitted prospects were highlighted throughout the 5 day's worth of notes. Rather than have them all spread throughout the 4 different articles, we pulled together all the uncommitted prospects from those notes and put them in one spot, starting today with the arms. As we've seen over the years, players develop at different rates and some of the arms below are just scratching the surface, while others used Jupiter as their coming out party to thrust their name on the national scene. With a mix of both 2024 graduates and underclassmen, colleges of all levels are certain to find something that'll fit their recruiting classes and ultimately help their club. 

*All players listed below are labeled as uncommitted per their Perfect Game profile.

Anthony Unga (2024, Oakville, Ontario, Canada) came on in relief and showed well, flashing as one of the more intriguing uncommitted 2024 righthanded arms in attendance down here at the WWBA World Championship. Unga is extremely physical, listed at 6-foot-4 and 220-pounds, and looking every bit of it. Unga is still a bit unrefined in terms of consistency and repeating his operation–as are most prep arms–but he moves simply for a player of his size and has loud stuff. He releases from a very vertical arm slot and creates huge plane down in the zone when on time and synched up at release, touching 90 mph and sitting upper 80’s. The pitch is very difficult to lift given the plane and the life, and when he’s in the zone with it and moving it around, he really stands out. He throws a true curveball as well, in the upper 70’s and touching 80 mph, with big vertical shape and bite. It has the makings of a true hammer bat-misser long term as he continues to refine it, and given all the things that Unga can do and all the things he can get better at, the upside here is pretty vast. -Brian Sakowski




Taking the ball in the starting role for the Upstate Mavericks Scout, Xavier Glover (’24, FL) was dominant in his 5.0 innings of work. While the righty is only 6-1/150, he maximizes what he gets from his body with extension and explosiveness at foot strike. The uncommitted arm uses a loose, free-flowing delivery where he over rotates at balance to create significant torque before accelerating his arm through a full off line arm path. Glover is the aggressor on the mound, attacking hitters with his lively fastball that peaked at 88 mph often and held mid-80s throughout. His secondary offering was mainly an upper-70s slider that he used to finish hitters as he did often. Glover finished his outing on 76 pitches, allowing 6 hits, 1 unearned run, a walk and struck out an eye-popping 10 batters in all. -Craig Cozart

Jonathon Van Ness (2024, Knoxville, TN) struck out the side in order in a relief appearance on the mound today. Worked with great uptempo pace and went right at hitters with an upper 80’s fastball and overhand curve with consistent depth. Located the stuff, showed the ability makes pitches and read hitters swings. Lots of traits to like and develop going forward. Uncommitted. -Blaine Peterson

Ethan Lund (2024, Fishers, IN) a 6-foot-4 LHP with a clean athletic delivery. Fastball sat in the upper 80’s working on a steeper downhill plane out of a three-quarter arm slot. Stays well connected and used the legs well to drive towards the plate. Upper 70’s slider showed late break with vertical tilt. Located the pitch well and often located back foot sliders for swing and miss to right handed hitters. Currently uncommitted. -BP


Braden Pearson (2025, Cheyenne, WY) an uncommitted right-hander with big arm speed and feel for spinning a breaking ball. Up to 91 today on the mound with burst and carry through the zone. Power breaking ball that was located well to the edges. Notable upside with the arm talent from Wyoming. Uncommitted. -BP

William Haas (2025, Rockford, MN) a left-hander with a fluid athletic delivery and clean arm action. Showed command of the full arsenal today. Low three-quarter arm slot with arm side run to the fastball. A change up he sells well of the fastball and locates low and diving out of the strike zone. And a sweeping breaking ball that gets across the zone and was especially effective against LHH. The stuff is sequenced well, theres’s plenty of upside and he performed really well today with three shutout innings. -BP

Connor Hamilton (2025, Thompsons Station, TN) an uncommitted RHP up to 91 on the mound today. Fastball and slider are thrown downhill on the same plane with some tunneling effect. A lot to like here with the frame and present stuff. Very projectable arm that also performed and threw multiple competitive innings today. -BP

Cayden Ochsenfeld (2024, Hampton, VA), an uncommitted RHP up to 92 today, part of a three pitch-mix. Located the breaking ball in multiple counts for strikes and maintained arm speed on the change up with fading action. Solid 6-2/215 pitching frame with the durability to hold the stuff for multiple innings. Currently uncommitted.-BP

Kole Hopkins (2024, Holiday, FL) outstanding on the mound today with seven shutout innings in a complete game. Struck out eight, threw 72% strikes and showed pitchability with stamina throughout. Fastball up to 84 and consistently located to the edges of the plate. Changed speed and kept hitters off balance with the slider. Ability to throw each pitch in any count stood out and was extremely effective today. Currently uncommitted. -BP


John Kasten (2025, Clovis, Calif.) looked dominant through his three innings on the mound for Alpha Prime 24. The fastball operated in the 89-90 mph range, getting up to 91 mph with heavy life out of the hand. The breaking ball has good bite and got into the low-80s too. The two pitch mix seemed to be too much for the opposing offense as he racked up seven strikeouts in the outing. Kasten has continued to turn in dominant performances since the summer and has the look of being a top arm in California. -Cam McElwaney

Ryan Walsh (2025, Bethel Park, Pa.) came up in a huge spot for East Coast Ghost on the mound turning in some great relief innings on Saturday morning. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound righty came into the game in the early innings and went three innings, allowing only one hit and striking out one. He rolled through the relief appearance, living in the upper-80s with the fastball. He has a quick arm and good feel to spin as well. He’s a uncommitted name that threw the ball well in front of a lot of eyes. -CM


Uncommitted left-hander Jacob Seek (2024, Bozman, Maryland) showed plenty of things to like during his start for the Richmond Braves in their matchup with a tough Stix 2024 Scout squad. The athletic built 2024 Maryland native navigated a pesky lineup filled with tons of talent pretty well, running his fastball up to 89 mph and allowing just a single run. There is some funk to the delivery with moving parts coming at the hitter. He maintained the 85-87 range throughout his four innings of work, punching out six and allowing just the one run. He showed the ability to manipulate both the speed and shape to his breaking ball, while landing it for strikes and ripping off a few for some awkward swings-and-misses. He completed his arsenal with a slightly faded changeup and should continue to add some more velocity. His ability to compete within the zone, while showing a promising three-pitch mix should allow for him to find a home relatively soon. -John McAdams

Dillon Stiltner (’25, Hogansville, Ga.) and Nolan O'Connor (’24, Kennesaw, Ga.) combined to toss a three-hit shutout for the Home Plate Chili Dogs in their 2-0 victory Canes Florida 2024 Scout Team in game two of pool play action. Stiltner, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander from Trinity Christian High School allowed two hits over the four-inning start and finished with five strikeouts. The uncommitted Stiltner ran the fastball up to 89 mph and featured a hard slider in the low-80s to command the zone at a 64% strike rate. O’Connor, a 6-foot, 195-pound fellow right-handed pitcher finished off the shutout with three scoreless allowing just one hit and no walks in relief. The Mount Paran Christian product commanded the zone at a 75% strike rate while striking out three and finishing his three innings of work on just 33 pitches. He ran the fastball up to 86 mph and kept hitters off-balance with a big curveball in the 68-72 mph that he seemingly landed at will for strikes. A valiant effort from the duo as the Chili Dogs carry a 1-0-1 record into day three of the 2023 WWBA World Championship. -Jason Phillips

Wells Grisham (’26, Cleveland, Tenn.)- the 6-foot-3, 215-pound left-handed pitcher for the East Cobb Astros tossed five innings of one-run ball to get the win over the Boston Red Sox Scout Team. The Sophomore from Baylor High School allowed only two hits and one unearned run and finished with six strikeouts against a lineup littered with Division 1 commits. He worked both sides of the plate mixing speeds with his fastball and slider combo and recorded five outs on the infield to go along with his six strikeouts. A great effort from Grisham who carries a 1.00 ERA and 46 strikeouts over 41.0 innings pitched during the 2023 PG season. -JP

Jack Frankel (2024, Plano, Texas) is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-handed pitcher who took to the mound on Friday for the Detroit Tigers Scout Team. Frankel is a medium and strong frame. He uses a sidestep into a leg lift up above the belt, working with some pace overall. Frankel hides it well through the back and has a longer and loose arm stroke working downhill. The uncommitted righty threw from a higher three-quarters arm slot. The 13u & 14u PG Select Festival alum was dealing on Friday. He worked 87-91 mph on the fastball, with spin up above 2,100 RPMs. The pitch was up to 21 inches of IVB. He paired it with a slider around 79-80 mph, with spin up into the 2,300 RPMs, showing an 11/5 slurvy break. He also showed a changeup that was 80-81 mph with spin in the 1,700s. Frankel threw 3.0 innings, with 3 hits, a walk, and a strikeout, with zero earned runs. -Tyler Kotila

Josiah Romeo (2025, RHP, Caledon, Ontario, CND, Rawlings Scout Team) was outstanding for the Rawlings National Scout Team allowing three hits and four walks, striking out nine batters in four innings of work. Romeo is a strike thrower that worked consistently in the 85-88 MPH range topping 89-90 and complemented his fastball with a 80 MPH slider. Shows an athletic, repeatable delivery and is currently uncommitted. -Steve Doherty

Adyn Schell (2025, RHP, Toronto, Ontario, CND, Rawlings Scout Team) pitched for Rawlings National Scout Team allowing two hits and issuing one walk, striking out five batters in two innings of work. Has a proportional 6’2, 200 pound frame with room to add. Schell worked consistently in the 88-89 MPH range and complemented his fastball with a 77 MPH late breaking curveball that showed high spin rates. Shows a clean repeatable delivery out of a 3⁄4 arm slot. Schell is currently uncommitted and ranked on the High Follow list. We have a good feeling about Schell and his potential rise in the rankings. -SD

Clayton Hicks (2025, Evans, Ga.) spun an absolute gem to lead Team Elite/Atlanta Braves Scout Team to a playoff victory. Facing off against a talented lineup, the junior threw five one-run innings, scattering four hits and punching out 10 total. Walking only one and throwing 63% strikes, Hicks attacked the zone with his strong three-pitch mix. The uncommitted right-hander sunk the ball hard at 88-90, holding at that velocity for all five frames. Hicks mixed in a sharp slider in the upper-70s and also turned over a nice changeup. He is an athletic mover and the arm and delivery really work, staying on time and repeating. With a quick arm and a low release height, there is plenty to like with the profile and plenty more in store. -Kyler Peterson


Jack Sharp (2024 Heath, TX) certainly came out of the pen chucking Monday morning, pounding the zone for heavy strikes in the 90-93 mph range (2300 rpm). One of the more effortless operations you’ll see, the ball simply jumped out of the hand from a clean arm stroke that limited stress on the arm. He showcased the ability to elevate the FB and produce swing and miss, displaying good hip/shoulder separation with solid incorporation of the lower half overall. The breaker could be landed for both called strikes and swings over the top as Sharp did a nice job of manipulating spin to create more vertical break at times up to 2400 rpm. The currently uncommitted prospect isn’t expected to hold that tag much longer. -AJ Denny

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Craig Cozart
Article Image
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

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

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...

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.

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 |...
