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.

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,...

16u WWBA North Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Oliver Lindstrom (2028, Green Bay, WI) created some of the loudest offensive moments of the weekend while producing across the board, finishing with six hits, eight RBI, and a home run. The right-handed hitter showed the ability to stay through the baseball and drive it with authority. Creates quality leverage through the lower half while arriving in strong hitting positions early, allowing the barrel to work with intent through the zone. The blend of power, athleticism, and all-fields impact stood out throughout the event.  Dominic Haigh (2028, South Bend, IN) was one of the most productive hitters at the event, collecting 10 hits while consistently creating pressure on opposing defenses. Made life difficult on pitchers with a relentless approach, routinely extending at-bats and forcing them to work deep into counts. The operation remains simple and efficient, featuring an early...

13u WWBA Scout Note Recap

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
Walter Izquierdo Jr. (2031, Miami, Fla.) showed off the upside on the mound for Beast Baseball 13u. The right-handed pitcher went four innings and collected three strikeouts while spreading two hits and two walks for one run. The fastball topped out at 80 and was consistently in the upper- 70s. Showed feel for a curveball with 12-6 shape and some looser vertical depth that was able to get weak contact. Competes in the zone well and showed some feel to work on the arm-side half of the plate. Intriguing upside on the young arm.   Brett Hamlin (2031, Jupiter, Fla.) showed off the barrel feel for FTB American 13u. The left-handed hitter collected nine hits, including two doubles and a triple, to drive in seven RBI. Strong hands and flips the hips well to create good bat speed. Simple operation that gets on time consistently and impacts the ball well. Worked the pull-side well and...

Asher Contreras (2030 | Las Vegas, NV) The 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitter and outfielder was one of the most dangerous hitters in the tournament for Wow Factor Nv 2030, stuffing the stat sheet while displaying an impressive combination of power and speed. He finished the weekend with 9 hits, including two doubles and a home run, while driving in seven runs and scoring five more. He also swiped three bases and worked three walks, consistently putting pressure on opposing defenses while showing feel for the zone with just one strikeout all weekend.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings.
