High School Preseason Top 50: 50-41 | 40-31

30. Puyallup (Puyallup, Wash.)
 2023 Record: 25-6
Head Coach: Marc Wiese
Notable Prospect(s): C Kailand Halstead (Oregon St), LHP Michael Lejeune (Gonzaga), SS Mason Pike (Oregon St), SS Gage Thompson (Oregon St), OF Riley Sanoy, OF Noah Benedict, SS Max Hemenway (Tennessee), SS Brayden Landry



Coming off yet another strong season where they played for a state championship and won their 15th straight league title, this team looks primed and ready to go in 2024. There’s high end talent in all four grad classes, led by seniors Kailand Halstead and Michael Lejeune. Juniors Mason Pike, Gage Thompson, and Riley Sanoy bring dynamic athleticism to the roster. Pike, a top-30 talent in the country, will also be one of the arms relied upon this year. They also have plenty of talent coming up in Noah Benedict, Max Hemenway and Brayden Landry. The roster is solid from top to bottom as they look to claim their first state championship since 2017. 


29. Huntington Beach (Huntington Beach, Calif.)
 2023 Record: 21-9
Head Coach: Benjamin Medure
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Nathan Aceves (UCSB), SS Matt Hansen (BYU), C Trent Grindlinger (Mississippi State), 3B Ethan Porter (Oregon St), SS Linkin Garcia (Vanderbilt), OF Trevor Goldenetz (TCU), RHP Tyler Bellerose, 1B John Petrie III (Oregon St), SS Cole Clark, C Jayton Greer (USD), RHP Otto Espinoza (Ohio State), RHP Jake Frohn, 2B Cole “CJ” Weinstein, OF Owen Bone, 1B/LHP Jared Grindlinger (TCU), OF Tanner Brown (TCU)

Even with losing a first-round talent in Raffaele Velazquez from the 2023 roster, the Oilers bring back a talented core looking to run through yet another tough schedule. Nathan Aceves is in line to lead a talented rotation. Mississippi State commit Trent Grindlinger is one of the best defensive backstops in the country and will be an impact bat in the middle of the lineup. Speaking of the lineup they have one of the most potent in the country with power-5 commits up and down it. They have supreme talent in the older groups with some more coming in Jared Grindlinger and Tanner Brown both with a chance to impact early on in their high school careers. 


28. Doral Academy (Doral, Fla.)
 2023 Record: 24-7
Head Coach: Ralph Suarez
Notable Prospect(s): OF Michael Torres (Miami), C Alejandro Ludeiro (Lipsomb), SS Antonio Socarras (Pitt), C Hector Roca, OF Sebastian Berrios (FIU), OF Jadyn Nunez (UNC), 2B Gabriel Milano (Miami), OF Leandro Hernandez, OF George Pardo, RHP Marcelo Rodriguez (Arizona St), SS Kobe Carrion, OF Gavin Ruvalcaba

The Firebirds captured their first state championship in school history in 2022 and came two wins away from capturing their second in 2023. The return a veteran core that will be trying to avenge that loss from a season ago. The offense is littered with high end talent led by seniors Michael Torres, Alejando Ludeiro, Antonio Socarras, Hector Roca, and Sebastian Berrios. The list doesn’t stop there as they also have four top-500 talents in their junior class as well that will be key parts of the offense. On the mound they will be led by Jose Roig and Marcelo Rodriguez, both have experience in big moments. The offense will lead the way for this team as they look to get back to Fort Myers in 2024. 


27. Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, Calif.)
 2023 Record: 22-9
Head Coach: Gary Remiker
Notable Prospect(s): SS Anthony Perritano (USC), OF Elijah Selga (SDSU), C Michael Podstreleny (UC Irvine), OF Jack McWilliams (USD), RHP Trey Telfer (Indiana), 3B Johnny Rocco, SS Vincent Venverloh (USD), OF Benjamin Trey Gudoy (UCLA), SS Alex Harrington (Stanford), OF Hunter Harrington (Stanford), 1B Maxwell Stewart

Coming off a great campaign in 2023 that saw them finish first in the league, the Dons return a big chunk of their production from a season ago. They come into the 2024 season with high expectations as they can run out one of the top lineups in the state. They are led by a strong group of seniors, led by Anthony Perritano, Elijah Selga, Michael Podstreleny, and Jack McWilliams. They’ll get good production from junior outfielder Benjamin Trey Gudoy along with sophomores Alex Harrington and Hunter Harrington. On the mound they’ll be headlined by Indiana commit Trey Telfer. The amount of firepower in this offense should keep them in almost any game they play in this season. 


26. Valley View (Jonesboro, Ark.)
 2023 Record: 27-5
Head Coach: Josh Allison
Notable Prospect(s): OF Slade Caldwell (Ole Miss), RHP Lance Davis (Arkansas), RHP Eli Crecelius (Arkansas), C Lawson Ward (Arizona St), SS Andrew Gartman (Arkansas St), C Keaton Mathis (Arkansas), OF Owen Roach

The Blazers were a win away from winning their first state championship since 2021 a season ago and return the most talented roster in the state. They are led by top-20 player in the country and PG All-American Slade Caldwell. The offense boasts two other Power 5 commitments in Lawson Ward and Keaton Mathis along with Arkansas State commit Andrew Gartman. This offense has firepower that will be able to put up runs quickly. This doesn’t take away from their ability to pitch as they’ll be able to run out two dominant arms in Lance Davis and Eli Crecelius, an impressive one-two punch at the top of the rotation. Safe to say they are the favorites to win the state championship in 2024. 


25. Houston County (Warner Robins, Ga.)
 2023 Record: 37-6
Head Coach: Matt Hopkins
Notable Prospect(s): C Eli Stephens (Mercer), RHP Brooks Willis, 3B Kai Decker (Mercer), RHP Camden Cunningham (Georgia Highlands), LHP Carson Small (Pensacola State), OF Vick Gann

This program is coming off one of their best years ever, winning the 6A state title in 2023 with some impressive series wins over tough opponents. They lose a couple of the most impactful players in the state from last year, but they’ve got talented guys that’ll step up into important roles for this spring. Eli Stephens was already a heart of the order hitter for them, while many of the arms in this group saw innings in big spots a year ago. Vick Gann has been clutch many times too, and they’ll get tested early with playing in Hoover again. 


24. Argyle (Argyle, Texas)
 2023 Record: 35-11-2
Head Coach: Ricky Griffin
Notable Prospect(s): LHP Park Prater (DBU), RHP Hudson Emeterio, SS Colton Roquemore (DBU), 3B Micah Roberts (UL Monroe), LHP Baron Mannis (TCU), SS Grady Emerson (TCU)

Argyle fell just a single run short of winning the 5A state title in Texas last year, losing to a Magnolia West team who had one of the best arms in the state. Now, they certainly look to be the favorite to win it with a lot of talented players from that team back. They’ve got excellent depth in their upperclass arms with Park Prater, Hudson Emeterio and Baron Mannis, while Division I caliber hitters should make up the heart of their order. They’ve got the top sophomore in the country with Grady Emerson, the #1 ranked 2026, which is factors in big when you think of the depth that being able to start a sophomore brings.


23. Tampa Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.)
 2023 Record: 27-5
Head Coach: Miguel Menendez
Notable Prospect(s): SS Noah Sheffield (FSU), LHP McCall Biemiller (Florida), RHP Aden Knowles (NC State), C Yvan Douglas, OF Jackson Thomas (Georgetown), OF Jack Clark (High Point), OF Dariel Pirela, OF Zane Pestalozzi (Campbell), SS William Burke (Florida Southern), SS Dean Spoto (Belmont), C Vincent Decarlo (NC State), RHP Christopher Hemmings, 1B Nicholas Deakin, RHP Reed Biemiller (FGCU), RHP Wilson Andersen, 3B Christian Sheffield, SS Kaden Waechter

It's really no surprise to see Tampa Jesuit this high in the rankings as they’re annually one of the best programs in the state, and often one of the better programs in the country. They fell just short of winning yet another state title last year, but a lot of the guys that contributed in a big way throughout that big run are back. They’ve got one of the state’s top hitters in Noah Sheffield, as well as a long list of other impactful and experienced senior bats, while their arms are deep with Power 5 guys like McCall Biemiller and Aden Knowles, as well as high-end underclass arms like Christopher Hemmings and star sophomore Wilson Andersen. 


22. Jackson Prep (Jackson, Miss.)
 2023 Record: 31-4
Head Coach: Brent Heavener
Notable Prospect(s): OF Konnor Griffin (LSU), OF Cole Gideon, LHP Gardner Young, 3B Tre Bryant, OF Kevin Roberts Jr

This is another program that we steadily see in the national rankings as they rattle off state titles regularly in their classification in Mississippi. They’ve got potentially the best player in the country in projected Top 10 pick Konnor Griffin headlining this group and he can carry a team to a state title himself with his impact on both sides of the ball. He’s got good support though with a couple nationally ranked position guys in Cole Gideon and Tre Bryant, while Kevin Roberts Jr is as dynamic of a sophomore as you’ll find and Gardner Young has great stuff.


21. Alfred M. Barbe (Lake Charles, La.)
 2023 Record: 39-1
Head Coach: Glenn Cecchini
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Landon Victorian (LSU), SS Owen Galt (Louisiana-Lafayette), C Presley Courville (Texas A&M), OF John David Alexander, RHP Myles Ledoux, OF Jordin Griffin (LSU)

Barbe is a household name when it comes to high school baseball and they once again find themselves in the group of the best teams in the country. They have lost some big names over the last couple of years to graduation, but if there’s any team that can continue to win games at a high level without a long list of superstars, it’s this one. Landon Victorian was an All-American and can beat just about any team on the mound, while fellow senior Owen Galt will be big for this group. They have more strong names offensively that give them a bit of depth, but it’ll be all about guys stepping up and carving out big roles on this team in ’24.

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...

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. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...
