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

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

College Top 25: March 30

Well college baseball fans, we are officially at the half-way point of the 2026 season and what an incredible ride it has already been.  While there is some separation at the top as we start to look at programs that could be potential NCAA tournament hosts, things continue to change as clubs revitalize their seasons by winning massive series in league play.  The Top 25 seems to be getting more volatile as we reach the midway point, and the second half is setting up to be something special.  The one thing that will remain the same as it has for a month now, is that the UCLA (25-2) will still be the No. 1 team in the nation.  The Bruins are winners of 19-consecutive games and have started off Big Ten league play by sweeping 4-straight series.  The Texas Longhorns (23-4) hold tight at No. 2 this week after sweeping previous No. 11 Oklahoma (19-8) and sit atop the...

Hudson December (2027, Woodland Hills, Calif.) showed flashes of his upside despite a somewhat uneven three-inning outing. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-hander struck out three while working through a couple of tough jams, though his command was inconsistent at times. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph on a pair of occasions and generally sat in the 83–85 range. He mixed in an upper-70s slider with varying shape and execution where it was most effective when thrown with proper intent, showing shorter, tighter depth. He also flashed a changeup against a few left-handed hitters. Mechanically, there’s a blend of positives and areas for development. He incorporates his lower half fairly well and moves down the mound with some pace and intent. The arm is quick, though it can be late getting up at times, and his taller finish limits full torso extension through release. With...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 25

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Every preseason, analysts and voters pour enormous effort into ranking the small college baseball landscape — poring over returning rosters, transfer additions, coaching changes, and historical trends to assemble the most accurate picture they can of who will be contending when the postseason arrives. And most years, they get it largely right. But the nature of college baseball, with its massive rosters, unpredictable development arcs, and ever-churning transfer portal, guarantees that a handful of genuinely elite programs will slip through the cracks every spring. A team loses too many seniors. A key transfer hasn’t yet suited up. A new coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to prove itself. The voters see the question marks and leave the blank space, and then the season begins and the blank space starts filling itself in — loudly. As the 2026 season heads into its...

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game. In the middle of it all, Quinton Coats, is on pace for a historic season both within the program and on a national level. The 6-3/225 infielder from Olathe, KS has been launching home runs at a record pace and opponents seem to be powerless to stop his onslaught. With incredible strength in his hands, Coats creates easy loft and in 5 road games last week he collected 9 hits in 20 at-bats, with 4 home runs, 9 runs scored, and he drove in a total of 9 runs as well. As for his pursuit of history, the modern day BBCOR bat standard single season home run record is 34, set back in...

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....
