Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Pitchers

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, wrapping up with the hitters today. 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.





An uncommitted bat that showed well this week for the South Charlotte Panthers 2024 Marucci, Cameron Turner (2024, NC) displayed the ability to find the barrel and hit for power. The 6-3/210 first baseman moves well around the bag with clean glove work and the ability to turn the ball over in the middle with an accurate arm. At the plate, Turner uses an upright stance to maximize his leverage, turns through the ball at impact but it is his hands that really drive the swing. The ball jumps off the barrel, he gets it in the air with ease and there is plenty of thunder behind it. As you would expect, there is some swing and miss but he hit over .300 this week and collected 5 RBIs on the week. He will be a good pickup for a program looking for a middle of the order bat and solid corner defender. -Craig Cozart

Braylon Whitaker (2024, NC) is an important component to the success that USA Prime Scout Team 18u has achieved this week. The 5-10/165 center fielder is a slashing, fast-twitch type of player that impacts the game on both sides of the ball. He’s the general in the outfield, locking down the middle of the field and routinely taking away would be hits. With the stick, he understands his game and keeps the barrel above the ball working from the ground up. His path is flat, and he prides himself in moving the baseball so he can pressure the opposing defenders with his foot speed. The uncommitted athlete is a legit two-way threat too, jumping on the mound with his mid-80s fastball from the left side, making him an even more attractive prospect. -CC

Dariel Pirela (2024, Tampa, FL) the athletic outfielder showed a full array of tools today that impact the game on both sides of the baseball. Speed and arm strength to handle multiple outfield positions. At the plate, shows quick hands with a line drive all fields approach. Runs the bases especially well with instincts to create runs and runs scoring opportunities. Winning type, impact player with the right opportunity. Currently uncommitted. -Blaine Peterson

Mason Braun (2025, South Bend, IN) power hitting left-handed hitter that showed to ability to drive the baseball to all fields today. Had multiple hits including a backside line drive double. Showed plenty of strength in the swing with bat speed today. Lots of traits to like here as a corner defender with a left handed power bat. Currently uncommitted. -BP


Rafael Furcal Jr. (2024, Weston, FL) physical right-handed hitting presence with big time bat speed. Got to the barrel with an in sync swing today for a sharp line drive double. Corner infielder with solid average speed and the profile to develop into a middle of the order run producer at the next level. Had really quality at-bats today. Currently uncommitted. -BP

Carson Brumbaugh (2025, Edmond, OK) a highest level 2-way talent in the 2025 class. Shows elite hand speed with plate coverage and pop to all fields. Has a real chance to develop into an elite hitter with power. Has played shortstop at a high level in Jupiter showing lateral range and well above average arm strength across the diamond. There may not be a more talented uncommitted 2025 in the country. -BP

Garrett Droege (2024, Acworth, Ga.)- the 5-foot-11, 185-pound athletic outfielder for the East Cobb Astros-Orange made one of the greatest catches you will ever see on a baseball field at any level during first-round action at the 2023 WWBA World Championship. With two outs in the bottom of the 6th inning and a pair of runners on for the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team and the Astros holding on to a slim 4-3 lead, Droege made the catch you had to see to believe. The right-handed outfielder ranged into deep into left-centerfield on a full sprint and fully laid out to make the diving grab in front of the track to preserve the lead and save a pair of runners from scoring for the Reds. A bigtime play from the Mount Paran Christian High School standout who is still somehow uncommitted and who also finished 1-for-3 at the dish with a double and run batted in against the power arms the Reds Scout Team featured. -Jason Phillips

Jonathan Vazquez (2025, Miami Lakes, FL) is an intriguing uncommitted bat that found multiple barrels and stole a base on day one. Vazquez features a simple swing with good rhythm and balance throughout. A clean path to contact gets on plane early and allows for quality barre accuracy. There is some bat speed present that helps generate solid power at times. The power plays well to the pullside and should only continue to develop further down the line. It is an intriguing skill set with room to get even better. -Tyler Henninger


Sean Gamble (2025, Des Moines, IA) showcased his loud toolset on day two, going 2-for-4 with a double and stolen base. Loose hands create easy bat speed through the zone. Quality extension out front and feel for the barrel allows for balls to be driven in the air with authority consistently. Gamble possesses massive power that plays to the big part of the field, giving him the ability to go yard at any point. Once on base, plus speed allows him to be aggressive and steal bags often. The skill set can make a big impact on games in a multitude of ways, which is why Gamble is considered amongst the best players in the class. -TH

Josiah Hartshorn (2025, Anaheim, CA) has the ability to generate loud contact on a regular basis and did just that on day two. The slugger went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs driven in. Advanced bat speed stands out at the plate. Hartshorn swings with intent and can drive balls consistently to all fields. There is feel for the barrel present that allows for the power to show up regularly during in-game action. The skill set has the makings of a high level middle of the order bat with run-producing ability. Still uncommitted, Hartshorn will have plenty of suitors to pick from heading into his junior year. -TH

Brayden Ricketts (2024, Brampton, Ont.) came up with a huge swing later on in the game for Canadian Premier, driving in the tying run on a double down the right field line. He uses the leverage well in the left-handed swing and there’s some big time power projection here at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds. It’s a smooth left-handed cut and he can just flat out hit. Ricketts certainly looks the part physically and is a great uncommitted name in Canada. -Cam McElwaney

Sean Kempf (2024, Ville of Lakewood, Ill.) had a great day on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two base hits to his name. He has good rhythm to the swing and it comes off really easy. It’s a simplistic swing with no stride in the load and good bat speed. He’s strung together a solid weekend so far with a double to his name and an RBI for the GRB Rays National. -CM

Dax Kilby (2025, Newnan, Ga.) is a name that’s jumped onto the scene over the last few weeks after an impressive showing at Underclass WWBA and has continued that into Jupiter. He certainly looks the part at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds and the athleticism certainly stands out. It’s an easy impact left-handed stick with great barrel skills and more power to project on. He showed off the running ability on Sunday stretching an easy single into a hustle double and played a solid second base throughout the event. He’s a name to know and monitor in Georgia and the stock is continuing to rise. -CM

Abdiel Sostre (2024, San Juan, Puerto Rico) collected two more hits on Day Two, as the live bodied uncommitted middle-infielder continues to show plenty of intrigue. He stays short and direct with his hands, delivers the barrel on-time and uses the entire field extremely well. There is plenty of present bat speed, quickness to his hands the ability to recognize spin out of the hand. It is a modern table setter mentality with offensive prowess and sound defensive skills. He provides a spark each time he steps to the plate and should be a welcomed addition for a recruiting class looking for an energetic athlete with tons of upside. -John McAdams

Jackson Akin (2025, Lee’s Summit, Mo.) is an uncommitted middle-infielder who put an exclamation point on the Sticks Baseball/White Sox Scout Team win on Friday. He has a 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame, with a more lean build and some athleticism showing. There’s room to continue adding strength. He’s an even base with a deeper handload and some whip through the zone. He sealed the deal on a victory, walking things off in the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo home run. He was able to get out front to one, lifting deep to left field on a ball that was well-struck and got out quickly. According to Trackman, the ball was hit at 99mph, with a projected distance of 337 feet, getting out of the park in a hurry. He knew it was gone off the bat. -Tyler Kotila


Bruin Agbayani (2025, Mililani, Hawaii) is an uncommitted middle-infielder with a 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame with a taller and athletic look to him. He has swung it well this weekend with some loud results, handling the stick well from the left side. Agbayani starts upright with the back elbow out, lifting the leg and letting the weight transfer forward through the swing. Agbayani has a quick stroke with some speed through the zone. He had a shorter path to it and was able to get working uphill through contact at times to produce loud results. He’s worked on the barrel several times this weekend, which included a triple on Saturday as part of a 2-hit performance. -TK

MLK East Scout Notes Recap
Perfect Game Staff

‘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...

A whopping twenty states are represented in the initial Top-50, a number that is staggering when you look at the amount of depth some of these rosters have across the nation. Leading the group is St. John Bosco (CA), a team that brought home a CIF Southern D1 title in 2025 and bring back a strong group of seniors to look to repeat. Stoneman Douglas (FL) is a name most people should know by now in the high school ranks and comes in as our preseason #2 team, looking to win their sixth straight state championship in Florida. Orange Lutheran (CA) had a good case for preseason #1 but come it an No. 3, bringing a roster with seven seniors ranked inside the top-200 in the country to the table.
