Jupiter Breakdown: Stars Being Stars


Boston Kellner (2025, Chandler, AZ) was a driving force in the middle of the Canes National/ NY Mets Scout Team lineup, posting an OPS over 1.000 with a handful of EVs over 100 mph. The recent Texas A&M commit continues to prove why he is one of the better bats on the West Coast in the 2025 class. 

Brock Silvers (2025, Middleton, ID) had a monster showing throughout the weekend, reaching base nine times while showing big time power with a loud home run pull side. Ranked 99th in the class, Silvers continues to show middle of the order potential with extreme physicality. 



Linkin Garcia (2025, Bradenton, FL) has some of the better two-way talent in the class and proved it yet again. The Texas Tech commit threw four shutout innings on the mound and went 6-for-15 with a pair of extra-base hits at the plate. The upside and potential impact games on both sides of the ball continues to impress. 

Gustavo Melendez (2-25, Cayey, PR) showed off his twitchy athleticism and strong offensive skill set throughout the weekend. The Wake Forest commit hit nearly .600 with a 1.556 OPS, all while playing advanced defense at shortstop. 

-Tyler Henninger


Alexander Peck (2025, Franklin, TN)
The Arkansas commit played his usual brilliant brand of defense for 5 Star Mafia 18u Black, covering ground with ease and showing off his silky-smooth glove work. At 6-3/195 he is rangy and moves with ease while using his long levers to create tremendous leverage at the plate. Peck collected hits in bunches, batting .429 for the week, reaching base almost every other AB and finished with a .967 OPS.

Evan Taylor (2025, Ocean City, NJ)
While he didn’t put his extensive talent to play on the mound, the Alabama commit made a significant impact at the plate for the BPC Oilers 2025. He loads heavily into his backside and has some length to impact, but he found the barrel often and was an extra-base machine. Taylor batted .357 for the week with a double, two triples with an impressive OPS of 1.152 and scored a total of 5 runs.

-Craig Cozart

Noah Yoder (2025 VA) - The Duke commit sent shockwaves throughout the baseball community once again, consistently grabbing mid 90s in his start with evident spin profile on the breaker that can be manipulated for both vertical and horizontal tilt. The 6-foot-5, 230 pound righty is certainly gaining major traction with the right people, and is a name to watch in the 2025 MLB Draft conversations.

Blane Metz (2025 IN) - No surprise that Metz was dominant in a five inning start for Canes Midwest, leading a pitching staff that ultimately took home 3rd place in Jupiter. The athletic and still projectable Indiana commit has pitched to a 2.02 ERA in 2024 with a heavy low 90s fastball that generates tons of swing and miss. The arsenal is deep with natural movement from the 6-foot-3, 210 pound righty that is almost unfair when in the zone.

Gio Rojas (2026 FL) - One of, if not the most intriguing ‘26 arm on display, Rojas has big time potential with plenty of things to dream on for the future. Standing at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, the fastball already ticks up into the low 90s from one of the more easy and free arm actions you’ll see across the country. The breaker registers in the 2600 RPM range with good pronation of the CH for late fading action. Safe to say the Miami commit is going to be a name that continues to gain steam over the next year.

-AJ Denny

JD Stein, SS
Stein has long been a strong performer at PG events and did not disappoint in Jupiter. The Wake Forest commit absolutely lived on the barrel for Canes Midwest, hitting .588 (10-for-17) on the tournament with two doubles and two triples. Stein has great feel for the barrel and drove the ball to all fields with authority.

Grady Emerson, SS
Emerson was very impressive throughout the week for Canes National/NY Mets Scout Team, showing no issues handling older arms with advanced stuff. The shortstop is silky smooth at short and made a loud statement in game one of pool play, destroying a baseball out to right centerfield for a 423-foot long ball. He picked up seven knocks throughout and has one of the prettier left-handed strokes you will see.

Mason Braun, OF
All-American Braun crushed the ball all year, hitting .468 across 26 PG games in 2024. The left-handed bat took great at-bats in Jupiter, working deep counts while driving missiles when the ball was in the zone. Braun utilizes an advanced approach at the plate and the hit tool really stands out. The ball sounds different coming off and the power upside is considerable for the LSU commit.

Kelvyn Paulino Jr., 3B
Paulino Jr.’s bat continued to stand out and the budding power showed. The infielder has great bat-to-ball skills and plate coverage. The swing is super easy with a hitterish look, and he handles velocity very well. Paulino Jr. left the yard to pull side in game one for a 362-foot bomb.

-Kyler Peterson


Jason Fultz (2025, Harborcreek, Pennsylvania) continued to show off the immense power potential we have become accustomed to seeing, as the right-handed hitting Clemson commit launched two loud homers and drove in seven for the BPC Oilers 2025 squad during their magical run to the Quarterfinals of the WWBA World Championship. Fultz continuously impacts the baseball with authority, recording some of the higher exit velocities throughout the circuit including one of the homers coming off the bat at 105 mph. It is truly prodigious in-game power with barrel awareness and the ability to make good swing decisions.  
 

Ryan Harwood (2026, Chandler, Arizona) collected eight hits for the East Coast Sox 2025 Scout squad during their long run to the championship game of this year’s WWBA World Championships. The left-handed hitting Texas A&M commit has been a constant performer across his PG tournament career and continued just that on the biggest stage in amateur baseball. The physicality stands out as he creates tons of leverage with his strong lower half and has plenty of strength in his hands. He uses the entire field well and has a knack for producing runs in key spots.  


North Carolina commit Caden Glauber (2025, Fort Mill, South Carolina) was outstanding yet again, as the recently reclassed right-hander punched out eleven across his 5.1 innings pitched. He ran it up to 92 mph from a loose, whippy arm stroke. He settled comfortably in the upper-80s with ease, while showing plenty of feel for his slider that worked up to 78 mph and completed his mix with a well-replicated changeup. The numbers in ’24 are nearly flawless, as he has worked to a .90 ERA and has amassed a nearly 3-to-1, K:BB ratio. With his recent reclass up to the 2025 class, Glauber will be a name to monitor heading into the spring.  

-John McAdams


Luke Billings (’25, Prosper, Tex.)- the 6-foot-2, 190-pound primary outfielder led the entire tournament on the mound with 16 strikeouts over 9 and 2/3 scoreless innings pitched for SBA Sticks/ White Sox Scout Team. The right-handed pitcher and Texas A&M commit allowed only three hits in a 3-0 complete-game shutout victory over Ghost National in the Round of 32. He also closed out a 5-3 victory over the Midland Redskins 18U with 2 and 2/3 scoreless after entering the game and inducing a double play groundout with bases loaded and one out to preserve a 4-3 lead. On the offensive side, Billings homered and drove in three runs with a .421 on-base percentage as SBA Sticks advanced to the Round of 16.


Jackson Smallets (’25, Sicklerville, N.J.)- the 6-foot-5, 185-pound right-handed pitcher closed out a 5-2 victory over East Cobb/Padres ST with two scoreless innings for the BPC Oilers 2025. The Coastal Carolina commit ran the fastball up to 94 mph and sat in the 91-93 mph range for the entirety of his 38-pitch outing. He featured a hard slider in the 81-83 mph as a secondary offering and recorded seven swings and misses with two strikeouts. In 14 innings pitched this PG season, Smallets has recorded 17 strikeouts with a 0.50 ERA.
 

Colton Christman (’26, Las Vegas, Nev.)- the 6-foot, 175-pound left-handed pitcher struck out nine over 7 and 1/3 innings pitched for the East Coast Sox 2025 Scout. The No. 1 ranked left-handed pitcher in the Nevada state class and LSU commit, ran the fastball up to 92 mph and vaulted the Sox to a 2-1 semi-finals victory over Power Baseball with three scoreless innings of relief after Power jumped out to a 1-0 lead. The innings were big as the Sox weathered the storm and came from behind for a Finals matchup against CBA Marucci. In 16 and 2/3 innings pitched during the ’24 PG season, Christman has posted a 0.84 ERA with 19 strikeouts and only 10 hits allowed.

-Jason Phillips

Slater de Brun, USA Prime National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team
It wasn’t the loudest showing for de Brun at Jupiter but he showed a lot of qualities that give him a very high floor at the next level. The Vanderbilt commit collected a couple of hits but got on base at a clip over .600, showing a very polished eye with plate discipline. A 70 grade runner, de Brun’s wheels can change the outcome of a game in a flash and the combination of barrel control, speed, defense, and on-base skill make him very well-rounded.

Dean Moss, Canes National/NY Mets Scout Team
A top ten player in the 2025 class, Moss came down and hit three hole for what was a loaded Canes National roster. He didn’t light the world on fire but consistently grinded out quality at bats and showed some speed in center field. There are very good hitting tools here for the LSU commit and he looks primed for a big spring.

Mario Magana, FTB/TBT Phillies Scout Team
Magana is about as tooled up as a prospect comes and he showed flashes of his game changing ability during the tournament. He only collected one hit but the bat speed and athleticism profiles from the left side of the infield really well. There’s huge upside here and Magana could shoot up draft boards with a big spring.

Dylan Dubovik, Wow Factor National 18u
Dubovik has big time tools and big time bat speed from the right side of the plate. It’s big juice when the ball is squared as he hit a number of big home runs over the summer, culminating in an appearance in the PG All-American Classic. The power hitting upside here is real and it’s very enticing.

-Vinnie Cervino

’25 RHP/MIF Ethin Bingaman 
The two-way star and PG All-American had everything going at the plate in Jupiter. The Auburn commit wrapped up the event hitting .529 with three doubles and an astounding 15 RBI to his name. You can comfortably say he was the top hitter in Jupiter in 2024 and didn’t even show off the two-way prowess, where he’s been into the mid-90s on the mound. The top-50 player in the country put on a show at the plate and outperformed everyone else in attendance.  

’25 SS Josh Gibbs
Gibbs performed like we’ve become accustomed to seeing out of the #1 player in the state of Georgia in 2025. The middle infielder finished up Jupiter hitting .455 with a double and a triple and has just raked in PG events in 2024. There’s violence to the operation in the box and he seems to just live on the barrel; routinely putting up monster exit velocities. It’s absurd that hitting .455 at the premier event on the 2024 calendar is something we expected but Gibbs has earned that respect and always performs at an elite level.  

’25 RHP/1B Dylan Harrison 
Harrison got the ball multiple times in Jupiter, including in the semifinals game and he shoved both times out. The Clemson commit went eight innings, spread over two outings, allowing only three hits and striking out eight. He’s a proven strike thrower with a full starter mix and consistently works in the low-90s with plenty more coming. He looks every bit of the part at 6-foot-5, 205-pounds and performed up to his billing in Jupiter.  

’25 OF Everett Johnson 
Johnson reminded everyone of how dynamic he is in his first PG event since last Jupiter. He’s the ideal leadoff bat with excellent bat-to-ball skills mixed with a great understanding of the zone. The NC State commit hit .667 with ten hits over six games while swiping five bags as well. He impacts the game in so many ways and has always been one of my favorite watches in the class. Well, he reminded everyone in Jupiter and was one of the big winners of the event in my opinion.  
 
-Cam McElwaney

Robert X Mitchell (2025, Garland, Texas) had a very good showing of stuff in Jupiter, using a 3-pitch mix. The fastball was up to 94 mph and sat just under that mark. He also used a changeup and curveball, with both being in the low 80s. He also had 6 strikeouts in 3 innings, showing some good swing-and-miss against a good squad. The lanky Texas commit will be a name to watch in the coming months, with the solid stuff from the left side.

-Jake Willis
 
RJ Holmes (2025, Menifee, Calif.) came up clutch for the Ohio Warhawks, finding ways to get it done offensively for his team but also show off sure-handed actions up the middle. He came up in a tense game with the game on the line and delivered. He picked up a big-time base knock, working back up the middle to walk off the game. He hit .400 on the week and delivered for his team offensively. Holmes, a Duke commit, also looked the part on the dirt at shortstop.

Conor Essenburg (2025, Manhattan, Ill.) hit one of the farthest balls from Jupiter this year. He hit well all weekend, hitting .300 with a couple of extra-base hits, including the home run. He turned on a pitch and lifted it high and deep to left center on Marlins Field 5, clearing the berm, the sidewalk, and potentially even the road. It was every bit of a 425+ foot homer. Essenburg has had a loud fall, and he continued that in Jupiter, also working up to 94 mph on the fastball. Plenty to like from the Kansas State commit.

Anthony Pack Jr. (2025, Lakewood, Calif.) is a name to remember. He made some noise, hitting .400 on the week, and he found ways to impact the ball with good strength, time and time again. He took some loud hacks this weekend and made some noise, which may not be a shock to many. The Texas commit got it done offensively for the MLB Breakthrough Series squad.

Bryce Hill (2026, Greenwich, Conn.) was really impressive in his outing for the Boston Red Sox Scout Team during Jupiter. The Stanford commit cemented himself as one of the top arms in the class with a really quality showing. He worked up to 95 mph on the fastball, mixed in a good breaker and changeup as well. Hill threw 4.0 innings, walking just 1, punching out 5, and allowing just 3 hits, looking every bit of the part.

Danny Wallace (2025, La Vista, Neb.) is someone who’s made noise on the circuit before, and he hit well once again in Jupiter for the Soldier Spects National squad. He hit .353 with a trio of extra-base hits, including a real well-struck home run that he lifted out of the yard pull-side. He hits the ball hard and finds ways to work on the barrel consistently. The Oklahoma State commit looked the part again during Jupiter and found ways to impact the game for his team.

-Tyler Kotila

Nicolas Partridge (2025 Lakeland, FL) swung the bat very well in Jupiter, recording at least a knock in each game. The University of Florida commit combines now bat speed with lots of physical projection. The hit tool was on display from start to finish and the future power is obvious with a couple blistered extra base hits during the event.


Sam Cozart (2025 High Point, NC) finished off his Perfect Game career competing in his 6h Jupiter, a record that seemingly will never be broken. He sat in the 90-94 range mostly with very good fastball control and has an impressive four pitch mix. He coordinates and repeats his imposing 6-7 frame exceptionally well and has a clear plan on the bump. Cozart threw his 2nd well-documented immaculate inning on the biggest stage to put a cherry on top of an incredible travel ball career. His Jupiter numbers sit at 25 2/3 innings pitched and Texas commit fanned 34 opposing hitters during his annual trips down to South Florida.

Owen Jenkins (2025 Versailles, KY) is on this list for the power he displayed. A University of Kentucky commit, Jenkins is a great athlete with explosive traits. The right-handed hitting catcher has massive power potential and hit what could be argued the most impressive homer of the event. He clobbered an upper-80s fastball over the batters-eye some 400 feet away. One of the most impressive homers witnessed at the top high school amateur event in the world.

Jayden Stroman (2025 Medford, NY) the twitchy athlete has continued to show his huge tools during game play. He had a very good event .363 with some pop and also worked four 4 walks during the event. He can stay at a premium position and has a dynamic power/speed combination. He will garner a ton of attention with all of the boxes he continues to check, and his commitment to Duke will naturally weigh heavy.

Jacob Lombard (2026 Miami, FL) had people buzzing during a mostly senior dominated event. Take away the huge natural tools, he plays extremely hard and has a very high baseball IQ. His .462 clip with 2 doubles a triple, and 5 stolen bases is an incredible stat line at this event. But it really doesn’t even do justice for the impact he had on both sides of the ball. Lombard seemed to be all over the field and in the middle of every big inning. He is currently uncommitted and now turns his attention to soccer, where he was a State Champion last year at Gulliver Prep. This further speaks to his overall athletic ability.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

Article Image
‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

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
Article Image
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 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...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...
