High School Preseason Top 50: 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21

20. Summerville (Summerville, S.C.)
 2023 Record: 23-9
Head Coach: Thane Maness
Notable Prospect(s): OF PJ Morlando (South Carolina), RHP Carson Messina (South Carolina), RHP Thayer Tavormina (USC-Upstate), RHP Cooper Robinson (Utah Tech), RHP Drew Hayes (College of Charleston), RHP Aiden Vorlick



Summerville came up short of the ultimate goal by a few wins a season ago, but they return a ton of talent. They will also be breaking into the 2024 campaign with a new man at the helm in Than Maness who inherits one of the top programs in the state. Headlining the Summerville roster is the number-one overall player in the country in PJ Morlando. Having Morlando gives them thump in the middle of the lineup to go along with a wealth of riches on the mound. Leading that charge will be South Carolina commit Carson Messina who’s been into the mid-90s. Along with him are fellow seniors Thayer Tavormina and Cooper Robinson as well as juniors Drew Hayes and Aiden Vorlick. The mix of talent on the mound and at the plate give them a great chance to win their first state championship since 2016. 


19. American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)
 2023 Record: 21-6
Head Coach: Bruce Aven
Notable Prospect(s): OF Lucas Ramirez (Tennessee), 3B Rafael Furcal Jr., RHP Antonio Turco (NYU), OF Andrew Ortiz (Indiana St), RHP Talan Holiday (UNC), SS Christopher Levy Gutierrez, SS RJ Machado (FSU), OF Jordan Rich, OF Hayden Harrison, LHP Spencer Krasner (Virginia), SS Blayden Caballero

The 2023 season ended with a huge victory for the Patriots as they won their first state championship in over a decade. They return some big names from last year’s squad as they look to repeat as champions. The pitching staff will be led by two underclass arms that are no stranger to the big moments in Talan Holiday and Spencer Krasner, both played a huge role in their title run a year ago. Offensively they will be led by seniors Lucas Ramirez and Rafael Furcal Jr. They’ll round out the offense with an impressive list of juniors in Christopher Levy Gutierrez, RJ Machado, Jordan Rich and Hayden Harrison. All in all this roster from top to bottom is certainly one that could make another run back to Fort Myers and secure the 5A state title. 


18. Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.)
 2023 Record: 32-8
Head Coach: Chan Brown
Notable Prospect(s): 3B Cade Brown (Georgia), RHP Thorpe Musci (Georgia Tech), LHP Ford Thompson (Mercer), C Ethan Finch (Kennesaw St), SS Adrian Jimenez (VCU), OF Makhi Buckley, SS Eli Pitts (South Carolina), LHP Porter Berryman (Brown), OF Malachi Washington, OF Ellis Appling

Even while losing some key parts from the 2023 team, the Panthers once again return one of the top rosters in the country in 2024 as they look to regain the state crown. This offense will be able to line up with any in Georgia and they return Cade Brown who hit 14 home runs a season ago. They’ll round out the offense with Ethan Finch, Adrian Jimenez, Makhi Buckley, Eli Pitts and Malachi Washington. On the mound they’ll be led by Thorpe Musci, who threw the ball extremely well in big moments a season ago, and Ford Thompson who is back healthy after some injuries a season ago. They’re one of the more consistent powerhouses in the country and Chan Brown yet again brings a talent filled roster looking to make another deep run into the playoffs. 


17. Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks, Calif.)
 2023 Record: 28-4
Head Coach: Tom Dill
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Levi Sterling (Texas), RHP Sammy Petrocelli (Stanford), OF Henry Leipart (NYU), RHP Nate Kugler (Dartmouth), OF Alex Richardson, RHP Logan Berenson (Boston College), 3B Dominic Cadiz, RHP J. Beckett Berg

Coming off of a strong campaign that saw them finish 1st in the Mission League and rattle off 28 wins, the Knights return some big talent on the mound as they look to run through another tough schedule. Not many programs would be able to rebound from losing a top-100 player on the mound like Notre Dame is having to do with Justin Lee, but they just reload with another big talent in Levi Sterling to lead the rotation in 2024. Sterling along with Sammy Petrocelli give them a great one-two punch at the head of the rotation. The offensive side will be led by Henry Leipart and Alex Richardson. With the pitching staff that the Knights are able to run out on a daily basis, they’ll be able to match up well with most teams in the country. 


16. Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.)
 2023 Record: 29-13
Head Coach: Ryan Page
Notable Prospect(s): 3B Tate Sirmans (Ole Miss), RHP Noah Thigpen (Troy), 2B Carson Page (Georgia Tech), OF Jordan Hudson (UT-Martin), C Nate Slaughter (Thomas University), RHP Brayden York (Gordon CC), OF Coleman Lewis, OF/LHP Matthew Kerrigan (Auburn)

The 2023 season didn’t start off the best for the Lowndes Vikings as they got off to a 5-9 start, however they ended the year winning 24 of their remaining 28 games in route to a state championship crown. They return some key pieces from that state championship roster from a season ago on both sides of the ball. The offensive side will be led my Ole Miss signee Tate Sirmans and Georgia Tech signee Carson Page. They’ll be joined alongside by Jordan Hudson and Nate Slaughter along with extremely talented sophomore and two-way player Matthew Kerrigan. Their ace from a year ago in Noah Thigpen returns after a year that saw him throw in countless huge innings. Brayden York will be relied upon in a big way along with Matthew Kerrigan who’s coming off a strong freshman campaign. They come into the year with big expectations as they look to repeat as 7A champions. 


15. West Monroe (West Monroe, La.)
 2023 Record: 34-5
Head Coach: Wade Simoneaux
Notable Prospect(s): SS Hayden Federico (Ole Miss), OF John Pearson (LSU), OF Isaiah Shivers (UL Monroe), 1B Trey Hawsey (Louisiana Tech), C Tyler Roark, RHP Andrew Ferguson (Louisiana Tech), LHP Bradyn Garner (LSU)

It’s a pretty constant battle for who the top dog is in the state of Louisiana, and this program was in 2022 when they won their first state title in over 20 years. They nearly won it again in 2023, before falling in dramatic fashion to Barbe in the title game, but a lot of the group that has had them in contention the past 2 years is still here, now seniors. They’ve got a ton of talent at the upperclass level with nationally ranked players like Hayden Federico, John Pearson and Isaiah Shivers, while some other guys like Trey Hawsey and their juniors, give them a ton of lineup depth. It’s not a star-studded older group on the mound, but they’ve got guys that will play at the next level and Bradyn Garner is a sophomore with huge stuff.


14. Pearland (Pearland, Texas)
 2023 Record: 38-7-1
Head Coach: David Rogers
Notable Prospect(s): LHP Ryler Smart (Tennessee), LHP Jaden Barfield (Oklahoma), RHP Jacob Mader-Cooper (Rice), OF Isaiah Castaneda (Rice), RHP Trevor Ainsworth (McLennan CC), RHP Daniel Ontiveros (Alvin CC), SS/RHP Nicholas Partida (Arizona St), C Cade Adams (Southern Miss), C Brady Brewer

Just like West Monroe, this program lost in the state title game in 2023, but they also bring back a TON of their biggest contributors to the success that led them there. The depth they have on the mound is tough to match as Ryler Smart, Jaden Barfield and two-way Nicholas Partida along with Rice commit Jacob Mader-Cooper makes probably the most formidable rotation in the state, while the rest of the staff gives them a ton of other options to go to as well. They’ll get offensive production out of the bulk of those guys too, while the list of hitters they have is strong too. They started out slow and got hot at the right time in ‘23; they’ve got the talent and experience to win it all in 2024.


13. North Broward Prep (Coconut Creek, Fla.)
 2023 Record: Brian Campbell
Head Coach: 27-5
Notable Prospect(s): SS/RHP Mateo Gray (UCF), RHP Ryan McPherson (Mississippi St), OF Riley Luft (App State), 3B Gian De Castro (Arizona St), 3B Nikolas Koorse, C Tj Gramesty (FAU), SS Kiernan O’Neill (UCF), RHP John Rodriguez, C Braeden Seculer, OF Adolfo Camacho

North Broward Prep nearly made it 3 straight titles in a row when they unfortunately fell to a very good Calvary Christian team in 2023’s state title game, but this senior group is back looking to go out on top with titles in 3 out of 4 years. They’ve got a deep group who quite frankly knows how to win games, not to mention the number of guys that are headed to play at big programs at the next level. Mateo Gray is one of the most dynamic two-way guys in the state, while Ryan McPherson is a high-level starter and Riley Luft has thrown a ton of innings over the years for them. They’ve got an even deeper group of hitters making this one of the better lineups in the state, especially when their offensive is clicking in the playoffs.


12. Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.)
 2023 Record: 26-5
Head Coach: Mike Woods
Notable Prospect(s): C Drew Rogers (Georgia Tech), SS AJ Diaz (Yavapai College), C Liam Wilson (Harvard), RHP Clint Moak (Marshall), OF Caden Burghardt (Colorado School of Mines), 3B/RHP Boston Kellner (Louisville), OF Jaylen Payne (Utah), LHP Jack Armijo, SS Cole Berge (Tulane), OF Benjamin Ball (Arizona), C Conor Rae, 3B Blake Gonzales

It was yet another state title finish for Hamilton in 2023, and although they do lose some big pieces, they once again reload with high-end upperclassmen. Drew Rogers is a big add to this group for this spring, bringing high-level play to both the catching side as well as the offense. He’s supported in the senior class by a well-rounded group of guys headed to play at the next level, while the junior class has some bigger names in the state. Boston Kellner can bring big stuff to both sides of the ball, and there’s a strong list of offensive contributors from this class, while Jack Armijo is a left-hander that can contribute really solid innings.


11. Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.)
 2023 Record: 36-2
Head Coach: Chris Sheff
Notable Prospect(s): C Burke Mabeus (Oregon), SS Maddox Riske (USC), RHP Henry Prindl (South Carolina), SS Colton Boardman (Cal St Northridge), RHP James Whitaker (LSU), 3B Nolan Eberwein (USC), 3B Kekoa Young, OF Mason Tanner, C Ryan Hunter (Rice), OF Ace Sapp, 1B/OF Chase Wilk 

Another staple program on the national scene, Bishop Gorman also won another state title in 2023, finishing the year as one of the best programs in the country (#4 in final rankings). They lost some real physicality from that senior group that made them pretty deadly on the offensive end, but this is a good group full of guys that either contributed heavily last spring or are primed to step into key roles. Burke Mabeus is the big name here as a switch-hitting catcher who can really headline an offense, but he’s got depth around him in the form of more upperclassmen. Henry Prindl is a good arm for this staff, while James Whitaker will continue to be relied upon heavily to log quality innings. They lost 2 games last year by a total of 2 runs; it’s going to be hard to replicate that, but they should be strong once again.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt. He showed out on both sides of the ball this past weekend, really getting it done at the plate. He finished the weekend 7-for-15, with a double and 4 RBI to...

UBC Midwest X Atlantic Notes: Part 1 ‘27 RHP Alexander Kakach (MN) displayed present arm strength and some feel to spin. The #Creighton commit was up to 93 mph with the FB (89-93), while the SL showed two plane break at 79-84 mph.

The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander and Creighton commit paired the fastball with a low-80s slider that flashed two-plane break and a cutter that played well off the mix. Kakach worked with a loose, quick arm from a high three-quarter slot, creating quality movement across his mix while displaying...

17u BCS Scout Notes: Days 4-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Easton Vandyke (’27 RHP, RISE 2027/2028, VA) opened Day 4 by running his fastball up to 84 mph, showing consistent strike-throwing ability throughout the outing. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound right-hander paired the fastball with a low-70s curveball and a 75 mph changeup that he consistently kept at the bottom of the zone. Vandyke worked with a quick, whippy arm action, getting down the mound efficiently while filling up the strike zone with all three pitches. ’27 P Daniel McDevitt, the No. 91 shortstop in Florida and No. 531 overall in the state, has been dominant through four innings, working in the low-to-mid 80s with a quality two-pitch offspeed mix that shows consistent depth.

Battle for the Windy City Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Tyler Osmanski (2027, Frankfort, Ill.) a 5-foot-11 160-pound right-handed pitcher worked a 7 inning complete game shutout to start off Chicago Elite’s 6-0 weekend. On top of going the distance he allowed only three base runners and one hit. Osmanski has lots of athleticism in his delivery. He keeps his body under control while still being able to have good arm action and great hip to shoulder separation. He works from the third base side of the rubber with a high ¾ arm slot. His fastball was up to 84mph multiple times and sat 80-83mph. He used two offspeed pitches, a good 12-6 breaking ball 65-68mph, and a changeup in the low 70’s.     ‘27 RHP Brett Alkire (IL) punched out everyone across his 5.2 inning masterful outing.
