Preseason All Conference Team

Pos.  Name  School  Stats/Notes 
Hayden Gilliland  Tennessee Tech  .309-10-32; reliable starter behind the dish w/ 55 hits in the ’23 season, 44-27 BB/K ratio, led the program in OBP with a .454 mark, unusual traits for a C in the box. 
1B  Tucker Ebest  Southern Indiana  .321-12-52; reliable glove with power in the stick, .430 OBP in ’23 with more walks than K’s w/ team high .565 SLG.  
MIF  Skyler Trevino  Little Rock  .297-15-46 w/ 1.003 OPS on the season, some of the best pop for a 2B in the conference, consistent performer. 
MIF  Colton Becker  Morehead State  .332-9-51 w/ 22 SB’s; lockdown defense at SS with some draft interest, reliable bat in the order who has improved year after year. 
MIF  Andrew Fernandez  UT Martin  .348-9-53; run producer for this lineup w/ .557 SLG & 21 2Bs in ’23, hit first MIF that was near the top of the conference in a lot of offensive categories, All-OVC 1st team honors. 
3B  Nico Baumbach  Little Rock  14 HRs with equal K/BB ratio (27), .372 avg. & .453 OBP last year. Some of the best B2B/approach in conference, primed for big senior year. 
OF  Tyler Williams  Little Rock  .363-9-63 w/ a .411 OBP & 23 SB’s. 5th year with wealth of experience, good in CF with chance to replicate ’23 slash line. 
OF  Ryley Preece  Morehead State  .335/.454/.739 slash, 21 HR/21 SB in ’23, real draft interest as an athletic CF & an intriguing power/speed combo to pair. 
OF  Luke Pectol  Little Rock  .346-7-36; 66 hits in ’23 during his first year with the program, reliable middle of the order bat with some pop and feel for the barrel. 
OF  Joshua Cameron  Southeast Missouri State  .304-16-51; reliable corner OF with pop in the stick and barrel skills, .627 SLG last year with G2G approach. 
DH  Roman Kuntz  Morehead State  .304-14-54; named All-OVC 1st team in ’23 as DH and led his program in RBI, HRs & doubles, reliable run producing power LH stick.  
UTL  Peyton Leeper  SEMO  .287-9-38; staple in the lineup since ’21 and saw a big jump in production last season w/ 100+ point SLG jump and .438 OBP, saw action on the bump as well.  
SP  Jackson Wells  Little Rock  Absurd ’23 season; 15 GS w/ 2 CG’s and 1 SHO, 7-4 w/ 1.74 ERA over 93 IP. 80 K’s and allowed just a .215 BA, will lead this staff once again. 
SP  Tyler Delong  SIEU  65.2 IP w/ 9 GS & 18 appearances, 77 Ks with 5 wins and a save tacked on. High volume guy for his program, strikeout arsenal. 
SP  Grant Herron  Morehead State  5-1 w/ 14 GS & 64.2 IP; 74 Ks in the span w/ an allowed .250 avg. against, should lead staff again this year & has the best arsenal in the program, potential UDFA sign. 
SP  Preston Davis  Little Rock  .181 avg. allowed w/ 42 Ks over 39.1 IP, huge stride made last year from his freshman campaign & looks to expand upon that in ’24. 
RP  Zane Robbins  Eastern Illinois  4-1 record w/ 27 appearances & 34.1 IP; 50 K’s and allowed a measly .171 average against. Physical XL build, reliable ‘pen arm for the last 2 seasons.

California All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

The 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory for the state of California, with 18 players ranking among the top 100 in the Perfect Game national rankings.  Three PG All-Americans, IF Trey Ebel, OF Isaiah Hearn and RHP Logan Georges were all edged out of places on the California All-Region Team as a result.  And although the 2027 class doesn’t look as deep, it does feature three Top Six players in SS Dylan Seward, LHP Jared Grindlinger and SS Carter Hadnot. Not surprisingly, California high schools are very well represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, particularly with 2025 Trinity League champion St. John Bosco beginning the season as the top ranked team in the country.  A very deep Orange Lutheran squad holds down the third spot in the rankings, with 12th ranked De La Salle being the top team from Northern California.  Corona (17th),...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger

While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Nash Embraces All Things Perfect Game

CARTER NASH EMBRACES ALL THINGS PG By Jim Salisbury  COLUMBUS, Ohio – It’s cold outside. The wind is whipping. Is that sleet? Ugh. Think spring. Think baseball. Carter Nash surely is. Nash looked right at home during a visit to the American Baseball Coaches Association annual convention last month. Outside, the weather was frightful. Inside, it was baseball season. Nash lit up radar guns with his smile as he made his way through the convention hall and the event’s bustling trade show. He checked out all the new equipment, all the cutting-edge technologies and even met a few former major leaguers. “It’s like a baseball heaven to me right now,” the wide-eyed 15-year-old said. Nash is one of the bright young talents of Perfect Game. You’ll be hearing a lot about him in the coming years, if you haven’t already. He’s played in...
