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.

13u World Series Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u World Series Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Chaysten Fuentes (2030, Ewa Beach, HI) worked really well from the right side of the plate ending up with five hits and a double in the last two days. The right handed hitting Hawaiian has a ton of strength to the body. The hands work directly to the ball and can hit to all fields in the approach. Has done an incredible job getting the barrel to almost everything and gets on plane in the turn.  Triston Valdez (2031, Castaic, CA) was electric on day four batting .500 with a double, triple, and five rbis. The barrel is really quick to the ball and works with a level path. Against NY Gotham 13u Ghost, Valdez would not be denied demolishing the bases clearing triple way back into the RCF gap. Stays inside the baseball consistently with the hands and torques it hard.  Christopher Julian Leija (2031, Weslaco, TX) really showed out the last two...

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Two days into the 2026 Perfect Game 15U National Elite Championship, the storylines are already beginning to take shape. As one of the summer’s premier invite-only events, the tournament annually brings together many of the nation’s top 15U clubs, with 100 elite teams traveling to Hoover in pursuit of a championship.

Tristan Barton (‘29, TX) has struck out three over three scoreless innings of work, getting a lively FB up to 89. Mixed in a sharp vt CB w/ late bite. Operates from a projectable RH frame w/ length + room to fill. #NatElite @Texas_PG pic.twitter.com/LXfkLOtxdo — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 5, 2026 Tristan Barton (’29, Gunter, TX) turned in a strong start on Sunday, lasting four innings of one run ball, striking out four. Barton operates from a bigger lengthy right-handed frame with considerable room to fill. He starts with a mid-body handset before working to the belt and into a high compact leg lift. Barton fires down via a compact arm action and high three quarters slot. The Texas native got a run/ride fastball up to 89, living in the mid-80s throughout the outing. He mixed in a sharp 12-6 curveball with vertical depth and late bite. Jack Graviss...

16u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1

Jason Phillips
Article Image
Nolan Ash (2028, Ashland, Mo.) showed off the power upside for Natty State 2028. The right-handed hitter starts from a spread stance with in-line feet and a high handset with a high back elbow, utilizes a leg lift stride. Creates separation and uses a direct hand path with a slightly uphill bat plane and some feel to generate lift from the lower half. Quick hands and stays in-sync with a rotational lower half and solid bat speed. Showed the power belting a solo bomb over the left field fence. Long and lean 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame with wiry strength present and more room to fill. The shortstop has a high ceiling and feel for the barrel. Colton Dodds (2028, Columbia, Mo.) showed off the barrel feel and power upside for Natty State 2028. The right-handed hitter starts from a wide base with in-line feet and a high handset with a high back elbow, utilizes a no stride trigger. Direct hands...

Coppy's Corner: July 7 Summer Edition

John Coppolella
Article Image
It’s an exciting time for College Baseball. Not only do potential and proposed changes to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) elevate the game, but we are coming off a thrilling College World Series and less than a week away from Major League Baseball’s 2026 Amateur Draft. In the middle of it all is the Cape Cod Baseball League.  The amateur players on the Cape are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th  through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and...

13u World Series Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Michael Wedgeworth (2030, Flomaton, AL) had put the two way ability on full display so far this week, dominating from both sides. On the mound Wedgeworth ran the fastball up to 84 (81-83) with ease to the delivery. Broke off a couple nasty curveballs that induced swing and miss, as well as freezing hitters for punch outs. Collected six in his four inning complete game. He also would not be denied at the plate going 3-5 in the first two days with two doubles. Very intriguing young player as the body continues to grow.  Tyler Bellush (2031, Summerville, SC) is a sure handed shortstop for the Canes Nation squad. Swings it from the left side of the plate and the barrel accuracy has really stuck out thus far. 3-4 through the first couple days with a double and two triples, Bellush has also walked twice and collected 3 RBI along the way. Yesterday against USA Prime with the bases loaded,...
