High School Preseason Top 50: 50-41




40. Cherokee Bluff (Flowery Branch, Ga.)
2023 Record: 28-5
Head Coach: Jeremy Kemp
Notable Prospect(s): SS Jacob Vokal (Davidson), OF Ty Corbin, C Caleb Miele, OF Kaden(KT) Thompson (Georgia Southern), RHP Tucker Holton (East Tenn St), LHP Gabe Gowder (Georgia State), SS Landon Kemp, SS Bubba Coleman (LSU), SS Ethan England (Georgia Southern), C Beau Bruns

Cherokee Bluff exploded onto the national scene as they started the 2023 campaign rattling off 20 wins in a row to start the year. They return a good core that will be looking to make a deep run in the playoffs this year. The offense has the makings of one of the best in the state with a trio of seniors in Jacob Vokal, Ty Corbin and Caleb Miele. The underclass group is just as talented with Kaden(KT) Thompson and Landon Kemp along new addition in sophomore Bubba Coleman. On the mound they will be led by Georgia State commit Gabe Gowder and right-hander Tucker Holton, both who have good stuff and are more than capable of leading the staff. This will be an exciting team to follow for the year that will be able to put up big run totals in 2024. 


39. Oxford (Oxford, Ala.)
2023 Record: 37-7
Head Coach: Travis Janssen
Notable Prospect(s): SS Carter Johnson (Alabama), OF Rj Brooks (Jacksonville St), RHP Eli Bozeman, OF Nick Richardson (South Alabama), C Hudson Gilman

The 2023 season for the Yellow Jackets was a season full big moments as they won the PG High School Showdown and followed that up winning the 6A state championship. They come into the 2024 season with another talent filled roster headlined by top-30 player in the class in Carter Johnson. Jacksonville State commit RJ Brooks will patrol the outfield along with South Alabama commit Nick Richardson. On the mound they will be led by junior Eli Bozeman who has been up to 90 mph. They will be looking to follow up their dominant season a year ago with another deep run. 


38. Archbishop Spalding (Severn, Md.)
2023 Record: 22-6-1
Head Coach: Joe Palumbo
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Jake Yeager (Maryland), RHP Nathan Wines (East Carolina), RHP Brayden Robinson (West Virginia), RHP Peyton Mamula (Maryland), C Jack McNally, SS Braeden Martin, C Cruz Luna, SS Anthony Badillo

Archbishop Spalding has become one of the primary powerhouses in the country, winning back-to-back state titles and five since 2014. They return one of the top rotations in the nation, led by PG All-American Jake Yeager who has supreme stuff. Nathan Wines, an East Carolina commit, burst onto the scene in the fall giving them a strong one-two punch at the top of the rotation. Rounding out the staff is Brayden Robinson and Peyton Mamula. Jack McNally will control the staff behind the plate and will be a key bat for them as well. Sophomores Braeden Martin and Cruz Luna will be key figures on the offensive side too. They’ll be looking to go back-to-back-to-back and with this roster, they have a really good chance of doing it. 


37. Northville (Northville, Mich.)
2023 Record: 31-5
Head Coach: John Kostrzewa
Notable Prospect(s): OF Dante Nori (Mississippi St), LHP Joseph Broughton (Pitt), RHP Justin Brown (Michigan), RHP Dominic Minghine (University of Illinois-Chicago), RHP Caden Besco, C Trevor Schueller

Northville has kicked it into another gear in the last two seasons as they’ve rattled off back-to-back 30-win seasons and are hoping this team brings home the first state championship in school history. They come into the year with a top-10 talent in the country in Dante Nori who will lead the offense. Catcher Trevor Schueller will be another bat that’s relied upon along with controlling one of the top staffs in the state. The depth on the mound is impressive, led by Pittsburgh commit Joseph Boughton. Three more seniors round out the staff in Justin Brown, Dominic Minghine and Caden Besco, giving them lots of options with tons of experience under their belt. This is a veteran group that are looking to continue their dominance over the last two years. 


36. JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.)
2023 Record: 24-9
Head Coach: Brett Kay
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Matthew Champion, RHP Adrian Nunez, C Charlie Caruso (Northwestern), SS Jordan Marian (UCSB), RHP Josh Hollis (Oregon), RHP Thomas Gonzales (San Diego), SS Cole Strane (USC), C Owen Capron, RHP Gavin Flores, OF Takashi Rutherford, SS Marcus Greis (TCU), RHP Corwin Allard, RHP Aidan Kent, C Ayden Coleman

JSerra Catholic is a powerhouse program on the west coast with talent up and down the roster each year and 2024 is no exception. Coming off of a second consecutive D-1 title, they’ll be looking to do so yet again this year. Matthew Champion is set to lead the staff along with Adrian Nunez, Josh Hollis and Thomas Gonzales. The offense will be led by Charlie Caruso and Jordan Marian along with contributions from some younger players in Takashi Rutherford and Marcus Greis. This is a deep roster with high end talent all across it which puts them in great position for the upcoming season. 


35. Wesleyan Christian Academy (High Point, N.C.)
2023 Record: 17-6
Head Coach: Maurice Blakeney
Notable Prospect(s): OF Sawyer Black (Liberty), RHP Hudson Lance (Coastal Carolina), RHP Josh Hammond (Wake Forest), RHP Sam Cozart, OF Domaine Vann (Miami), 3B Nick Papciak (Campbell)

There were some bright spots for this team in 2023, but when you look at this group that should lead them on both sides of the ball this year, they look primed to dominate the schedule they face in 2024. They’re headlined by a group of arms that is tough to match with senior Hudson Lance and the junior duo of Josh Hammond and Sam Cozart, both of which are Top 25 players in the entire 2025 class. Sawyer Black is a core of the lineup bat, Domaine Vann is a dynamic athlete and Nick Papciak is another who brings good things.


34. Valley Christian (San Jose, Calif.) 
2023 Record: 31-4
Head Coach: John Diatte
Notable Prospect(s): OF Tatum Marsh (Stanford), OF Brock Ketelsen (Stanford), C Jordan Ortiz (LMU), OF Quinten Marsh (Stanford), RHP Rohan Kasanagottu (USC), RHP Kole Laubach, OF Hunter Kenji Fujimoto (Santa Clara)

They fell just short of taking home the NorCal Division I title a year ago, and they’ll have to replace a decent bit of graduated production, but this group has a lot of hype around them and looks like they may be the team to beat in Northern California. The Marsh brothers can impact the game in a number of ways, both with another year under their belt, while they’ve got some depth in their older guys on the offensive end. Their junior arms will have to step up into key roles on the staff, but they’ve got enough talent to win a ton of games this year.


33. Cartersville (Cartersville, Ga.)
2023 Record: 32-4
Head Coach: Kyle Tucker
Notable Prospect(s): C Caleb Daniel (Georgia), SS Aidan Larkin (Kentucky), RHP Ryan Johnson (Georgia), RHP Sawyer Wilson (Kennesaw St), LHP Avery Shiflett (Georgia), SS Andrew Purdy (Alabama), RHP Nate Russell, C Cole Crawford

Cartersville lost just two games in the regular season a year ago, both against good teams in the PG High School Showdown, before narrowly losing a few rounds into the playoffs. A lot of the guys that made contributions to that impressive season are back this year as the roster look great and will be talked about with Loganville as a serious state title contender. Caleb Daniel and Aidan Larkin are two SEC committed senior hitters, while Andrew Purdy adds another as a junior. They’ve got Division I talent on the mound too with Ryan Johnson, Sawyer Wilson and Avery Shiflett, all of which can headline a staff and log strong innings.


32. St. John’s College (Washington, D.C.)
2023 Record: 30-1-1
Head Coach: Mark Gibbs
Notable Prospect(s): SS Colin Gibbs (Maryland), OF Adam Troch (Duke), SS Marcus Martin (High Point), RHP Hayden Kalisz (Alabama), OF Breyden Ruiz-Weiss (Yale), RHP Benjamin Christine (East Tenn St), RHP Clayton Armah (Auburn), OF Nate Hawton-Henley (Maryland), RHP Ren Devereux (Penn St), RHP Sean McCabe (College of Charleston), SS Gavin Weber

This program lost just a single game a year ago on their way to winning their conference and finishing the year nationally ranked across the board. This year, it’s another deep group with a ton of experience in terms of at-bats, innings and winning games. They’ve got a ton of hitters that are gonna play at the next level, including Power 5 guys like Colin Gibbs, Adam Troch and Nate Hawton-Henley, among future others, while the depth of their arms is at both the senior and junior level with Hayden Kalisz and Clayon Armah both SEC commits.


31. Johnson (San Antonio, Texas)
2023 Record: 33-7-2
Head Coach: Justin Lozano
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Tyler Walton (Texas), SS Kayson Cunningham (Texas Tech), C Masa Chilcutt (Texas), OF Ty Hawkins

It was a long season for Johnson in 2023, which is a good thing as they made a run to the Regional Finals before falling a game short of the Final 4 in two tough losses to a talented Westlake team. This year, they’ve got a similarly talented group and although the pitching depth may be tested, they’ve got some excellent hitters in the lineup led by star junior Kayson Cunningham, the top player in the state for the 2025 class. Masa Chilcutt is a rock behind the dish, a big commodity for this kind of schedule. The depth of this team will be tested in 2024, but any team playing in Texas faces the same.

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 61

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....
