High School Top 50: 50-41

Tyler Russo
Cam McElwaney
50.  Brother Rice (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.)
2023 Record: 29-8
Head Coach: Bob Riker
Notable Prospect(s): 3B Tyler Fox (Ohio State), RHP Chase Van Ameyde (Notre Dame), C Owen Turner (Yale), RHP Blake Ilitch (Duke), C Broder Katke (Duke), RHP/3B Aiden Pack

Brother Rice comes into the 2024 season as easily one of the most talented teams in the Ohio Valley region. Their staff is led by senior Chase Van Ameyde, a Notre Dame commit, who has been up to the low-90s. The talent on the staff doesn’t end there as they also have the top ranked player in Michigan in the 2025 class in Blake Ilitch, a Duke commit, who’s got some of the loudest stuff in the country. Offensively they’ll be paced by Ohio State commit Tyler Fox and Yale commit Owen Turner. They also bring in two of the most talented freshman in the nation in Broder Katke and Aiden Pack. The Warriors certainly look like the favorite coming into the year to win the league for the first time since 2018. 



49. Casteel (Queen Creek, Ariz.)
2023 Record: 27-6
Head Coach: Matt Denny
Notable Prospect(s): LHP Mason Russell (Arizona), OF Landon Hairston (Arizona State), OF Tyler Russell (Arizona), C Kade Thompson (Arizona), RHP Gabe Schneider (Washington State), OF Ryan Harwood, OF Connor Russell (Arizona State)

Casteel rattled off 27 wins a season ago and return an extremely talented roster in 2024. On the mound they are led by top-100 player in the country in Mason Russell who has been up to 93 mph with a wipeout slider. Washington State commit Gabe Schneider will also play a big role on this staff behind Russell, giving them a great one-two at the top of the rotation. The offensive side of things is led by seniors Landon Hairston, Tyler Russell, and Kade Thompson along with some young talent in Ryan Harwood and Connor Russell. This is a veteran group on the mound with a good chance to surpass their win total from a year ago. 


48. Trinity (Louisville, Ky.)
2023 Record: 33-7
Head Coach: Rick Arnold
Notable Prospect(s): SS Dane Morrow (Tennessee), SS Jake Schweitzer (Louisville), LHP Tyce Powers, RHP Kyle Campbell (Louisville), LHP Evan Boeckmann (Wright State), RHP Colton Cravens, OF Caleb Ricks (Lousiville), 1B Nolan Hosking, RHP Gray Davis

The Trinity Shamrocks are perennially one of the best teams in the state of Kentucky and the 2024 season doesn’t look much different. Everything starts on the mound for this team as they have a veteran staff with great stuff. They will be led by a trio of seniors in Tyce Powers, Kyle Campbell and Evan Boeckmann. They also have one of the top underclass arms in the country in Colton Cravens who has monstrous projection. Offensively they will be led by a strong upper-class group that includes seniors Dane Morrow, a Tennessee commit, and Jake Schweitzer, a Louisville commit. Trinity comes into the season with one of the top rosters in the country and will be looking to regain the state title for the first time since 2021. 


47. Hagerty (Oviedo, Fla.)
2023 Record: 19-7
Head Coach: Mike Sindone
Notable Prospect(s): LHP/OF Talan Bell (Clemson), SS Austin Jacobs (Clemson), RHP Eli Fleming (Pittsburgh), RHP Brayden Toro (USF), OF Stephen Chucka (UCF), Max Murray Jr. (UCF), OF Ryan Foscolo (Kentucky), SS Noah Adkins

Hagerty comes into the year as a team to look out for as they look to repeat their 2022 season with another trip to Fort Myers. The 2024 roster is headlined by Clemson commit and PG All-American Talan Bell who is one of the top two-way talents in the entire class. He’s joined by another Clemson commit in Austin Jacobs who’s one of the top middle infielders in the country. The rotation rounds out with two talented senior arms in Eli Fleming and Brayden Toro. Juniors Stephen Chucka, Max Murray Jr. and Ryan Foscolo are three other names on the offensive side to look out for. 


46. Brookwood (Snellville, Ga.)
2023 Record: 19-12
Head Coach: Robby Gilbert
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Jackson Barberi (Florida), RHP Clinton Harris (Auburn), C Preston Bonn (Georgia), LHP Charlie Foster (Georgia), SS Cody Fuller, OF John Beverley, C Benjamin Rogozinski, C Alexander Reyes, MIF Max Rogozinski

Brookwood comes into the 2024 season with a wealth of riches on the mound. The staff is headlined by Florida commit Jackson Barberi and Auburn commit Clinton Harris, both have been into the mid-90s within the past year. The talent doesn’t end there as they also have Georgia commit Charlie Foster, one of the top left-handers in the state. Handling the staff will be another Georgia commit Preston Bonn who will also be a vital part to the Broncos offense. Cody Fuller and John Beverly are two other senior bats that will make a big impact. This staff is arguably the best in the state coming into the year and will keep them in every game they play in. 


45. Westlake (Austin, Texas)
2023 Record: 40-5
Head Coach: Jim Blair
Notable Prospect(s): SS Theo Gillen (Texas), 3B Sage Sanders (Houston), LHP Chance Covert II (Texas), RHP Ethan Armbruster, OF Lane Johnson

This team was in states a year ago and finished the year at 40-5, a ridiculously impressive record given the gauntlet that is playing 6A in the state of Texas. While not overflowing with star names, Theo Gillen, a PG All-American, and Sage Sanders are two of the more impactful players in the state, which will give the heart of this offense serious firepower. Chance Covert II is a talented arm that’ll certainly log heavy innings, and they’ll lean on some of their depth this year to hopefully make a similar run to what they made in 2023.


44. Basic (Henderson, Nev.)
2023 Record: 25-9
Head Coach: Scott Baker
Notable Prospect(s): SS Ty Southisene (Tennessee), RHP Tee Southisene (USC), SS Tate Southisene (USC), C Kealiikoa Won (Hawaii), OF Troy Southisene, OF Andruw Giles (Texas A&M), 2B Lyndon Lee

Coming off a strong year in 2023 where they nearly played for a state title, this team looks to be in excellent shape to make another run at it this spring. It’s a bit of a family affair as there are FOUR Southisene brothers all on this roster, all of which contribute in a variety of ways, headlined by PG All-American Ty Southisene, an impactful player on both sides. This program isn’t afraid to let their youth play either so guys like Andruw Giles and Lyndon Lee already have some experience, which paired with the rest gives them excellent depth.


43. Christian Brothers (Memphis, Tenn.)
2023 Record: 26-10
Head Coach: Jason Motte
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Riley Goodman (South Carolina), SS Gabe Boyd (Mississippi State), OF Carson Finch, 1B Kale Sanders, C Will Brick, C William Britt

It was a pretty solid year in 2023 as a whole, but this team fell short of its ultimate goal. While some obvious senior production was lost, they have good ones to step in their place, including Riley Goodman at the front of the rotation. While their experience is a big deal, their star power lies in their youth with Gabe Boyd, one of the country’s best players, as well as a couple big incoming freshmen in William Britt and Will Brick, the latter being a Top 10 guy in the freshman class. While their playing time is yet to be seen, they have the talent to contribute in a big way.


42. Durant (Plant City, Fla.)
2023 Record: 20-6
Head Coach: Butch Valdes
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Chase Mobley (FSU), RHP Blaine Rowland (Florida), C Carlos Morales (High Point), SS Nicholas April-Gath (VCU), RHP Jack Brooks, RHP Tristan Macpherson

They came up just a couple games short of a trip to Fort Myers to play in the Final 4 in 2023, but this team looks primed to make a longer run this spring with one of the best pitching duos in the state of PG All-American Chase Mobley and Blaine Rowland, their biggest innings contributor last year and a very talented arm. They’ve got a good chunk of their offensive production back in the form of now seniors, as well as some other pieces on the young end that’ll likely factor in. With Florida’s playoff format, this pitching duo is deadly.


41. Tomball (Tomball, Texas)
2023 Record: 26-13
Head Coach: Doug Rush
Notable Prospect(s): C Cade Arrambide (LSU), RHP Coleman Ryan, SS Braeden Scherzer (Sam Houston State), RHP CJ Sampson, C Catcher Hopkins (Texas A&M), RHP Karson Reeder, SS Harper Gates

This team went on a good playoff run in 2023 before falling to The Woodlands in 3 games, but they’re back with a lot of the key contributors from that club, as well as their younger guys now having another crucial year under their belt. Cade Arrambide is the big senior name here, a PG All-American and one of the top players in the entire country with a huge arm, while Braeden Scherzer will turn in steadily good at-bats. They’ll get some quality innings from their older guys, but the combination of CJ Sampson and Karson Reeder is likely one of the best, if not the best, sophomore combinations in the entire state of Texas.

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. ...

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. 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. Now, that’s on his resume, too. 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.
