Jupiter Breakdown: Stars Being Stars


Leamsi Montanez (2025, Arroyo, PR) was nearly impossible to get out down in Jupiter, going 7-for-9 with three extra-base hits and five walks. A smooth left-handed swing consistently found the barrel, while showing a strong sense of the strike zone and intriguing power potential The well-rounded offensive skill set should draw plenty of suitors. 

Jaylen Payne (2025, Chandler, AZ) is a player that can impact games on both sides of the ball. He put up monster numbers at the plate, collecting eight hits and walking an additional five times. Strong on-base skills and advanced speed give Payne top of the order potential. Defensively, he possesses tons of range in centerfield with the ability to make highlight-reel plays. 



Nelson Hiraldo Sierra (2025, Trujillo Alto, PR) had at least one hit in every game down in Jupiter, while showing potential middle of the order power. The Puerto Rican product consistently shows advanced in-game power from the left side of the plate, something many schools should be interested in. 

Andruw Giles (2026, Henderson, NV) showcased a well-rounded skill set that should result in plenty of schools calling. The left-handed hitting outfielder showed strong on-base ability, collecting seven hits and drawing seven walks, some intriguing power potential, and strong defensive ability in right field. The skill set can impact games in a multitude of ways.  

-Tyler Henninger

Michael Senay (2025, Orlando, FL)
After a less than stellar inning pitched in relief three days earlier, Senay took the ball in the starting role for the Scorpions 2025 Dodgers Scout Team in the Round of 32. The righty was absolutely dominant over his 5.0 IP and put his team in position for the dramatic walk-off win. Using his low-90s fastball and invisible low-80s slider, he scattered 6 hits, didn’t walk a single batter and retired 8 via the punchout. Newly uncommitted, Senay is already receiving a massive amount of interest. Recently committed to South Florida 


Rory Beauford Jr. (2025, Gibsonton, FL)
At 5-11/180, Beauford Jr. is the type of twitchy, long-limbed athlete that can impact the game in most any aspect for the Ostingers. He showed off nice closing speed and instinct for angles in the outfield, especially with the blustery wind throughout the event. Hitting from the left-side, he also showed quick hands and excellent barrel accuracy as he hit .429 for the week. He collected a triple, reached base half of his at-bats and finished with an amazing 1.214 OPS overall.

-Criag Cozart

Vladil Andres Baldepina (2025 FL) - Andres Baldepina has quietly put together a really strong ‘24 campaign, picking up 23 Ks over the course of 16.1 IP while holding opponents to a .217 BA. He’s posted a 1.71 ERA, featuring a upper 80s/low 90s FB that constantly gives hitters trouble with the ability to locate to all quadrants of the zone. The 6-foot-1, 190 pound righty has high upside and is a hidden gem remaining in the ‘25 class.

Monte Dismuke (2025 TX) - Dismuke has been one of the top arms in TX statistically this year, posting a 1.40 ERA in 20 IP, holding opponents to a staggering .136 BA. Talk about projection, the righty has tons of room to fill out currently standing at 6-foot-2, 160 pounds though has plenty of natural arm talent that has already been up to 90 mph.

Tre Jackson (2025 GA) - Jackson has been an absolute workhorse in 2024, chucking 83.1 innings between NAA season and travel ball, holding a 2.86 ERA with advanced chase stuff in the arsenal backed up by a jaw dropping 148 Ks recorded this calendar year. Mechanically, the righty is clean and refined with good life behind the FB into the low 90s. He’s a natural competitor and has stuff that translates at multiple levels.

Chase Forester (2025 PA) - Forester has performed both at the regional level and on the big stage this year, pitching to a 2.27 ERA. The righty has tons of whip present to the arm action which yields to high velo potential in the future, currently in the mid/upper 80s. There’s further room to fill out the 6-foot-4, 170 pound frame and is definitely worth a look in terms of what the future could develop into for the PA product.

-AJ Denny

Calvin Moreau, SS
Moreau showed a very intriguing stick for the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team. The shortstop left the yard for a moonshot two-run homer in a two-hit game. Standing at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, the Wisconsin native has long limbs and a loose stroke that projects for very good power. Recently committed to UCF
 
Michael Cascino, RHP
Cascino got on the mound and showed some loud stuff. The righty is an uber athletic mover and ran the heater up to 93, living firmly in the low-90s. The slider was tight in the low-80s, working off the fastball well with advanced feel for the pitch.

Jacob Morgan, LHP
Morgan got a quick look on the bump for Ghost National/Artillery and there is a lot to like. The projectable southpaw is 6-foot-4, 195-pounds with long limbs and worked in the upper-80s. He sinks it well, flashing a bigger low-70s breaking ball and solid feel for a fading changeup.

Zahir Barjam, INF
Barjam capped off a strong year in which he batted .439 with a big Jupiter. Seemingly everything came off loud as he went 8-for-16 with two doubles and a long ball. The infielder has functional swing and impact strength that shows up in game often. The bat speed stands out and Barjam plays with a competitive flare.

-Kyler Peterson

Christopher Marano (2026, North Haledon, New Jersey) has been an uncommitted name we’ve mentioned numerous times throughout the summer, as the athletic right-hander possesses a fastball into the low-90s and one of the more dastardly sliders we’ve seen across the circuit. He continued to show the very same in Jupiter by delivering four strong innings, punching out eight along the way and once again showcasing that intriguing fastball, slider combination. He will be a welcomed addition to any recruiting class looking to add more arms to their stable and should provide immediate innings upon arrival.  


Mason Murphy (2025, Missouri City, Texas) was outstanding for eventual champion CBA Marucci, as the uncommitted right-hander delivered one of the more impressive outings of the event to clinch Pool F for his squad. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Texas native went the distance, while punching out ten in his complete game shutout to propel the boys from Cali on their playoff run. He pounded the zone effortlessly at a 70% clip, ran his fastball up to 93 mph and held the upper-80s, low-90s throughout his outing. He mixed in a shorter slider with depth to it as his go-to secondary and completed his three-pitch arsenal with a well-replicated changeup that garnered plenty of whiffs. The durable, sturdy frame coupled with his ease of operation and ability to throw strikes will certainly be desirable in-terms of those looking for immediate innings.


Blake Fields (2025, Orlando, Florida) is an uncommitted outfielder with an intriguing blend of athleticism, offensive prowess and untapped power potential that has started to show up in-game. He collected six hits on amateur baseballs biggest stage, proving he can handle velocity and high-level pitching well. He launched one of the bigger homers of the event, as his grand slam nearly brought his FTB/TBT Phillies Scout team back from an eight-run deficit. He did a nice job of squeezing in the hands and delivered the barrel on-time with authority. The continued progress at the plate coupled with his athleticism lead me to believe he only continues to get better, as Fields will be an outstanding addition for those looking for immediate offense.   

Chase Camac (2025, Northfield, New Jersey) is another uncommitted name we’ve mentioned feverishly throughout the summer, as the left-handed hitting outfielder is always on the barrel. He recognizes spin extremely well, adjusts well regardless of level of competition and is always on-base. He has top-of-the order type traits with barrel skills, plenty of bat speed and enough speed to impact the game in a variety of ways.  

Joseph Vaccarella (2025, Mickelton, New Jersey) is a recently uncommitted right-hander that possesses a strike-throwing repertoire with a proven track record and moxie. He regularly works in the mid-to-upper 80s and has bumped the low-90s at-times with feel for two breaking balls, and a splitter. He attacks the zone effortlessly, has a durable frame and has produced across the circuit.  Recently committed to Army


Allem Borrero (2026, Hormigueros, Puerto Rico) possesses a two-way skill set that will benefit a recruiting class looking to add significant impact on both sides of the ball. He is a physical left-handed hitter with a unique blend of barrel skills and huge strength at impact. Four of his hits went for extra-bases in Jupiter, as he continued to perform like he has during the entirety of the 2024 circuit.  
 
-John McAdams

Jacob Wise (’25, Glen Allen, Va.)-appearing in his first PG event, the uncommitted 6-foot-1, 195-pound right-handed pitcher showed a solid three-pitch mix over four innings for the Richmond Braves 18U Platinum. He ran the fastball up to 91 mph and sat in the upper-80s during the outing with a curveball in the mid-70s and changeup with depth and fade around 80 mph. Wise controlled the zone with a 62% strike rate and finished with five strikeouts. An uncommitted arm into the low-90s with a feel for the zone and a three-pitch mix should not be uncommitted for long.

Ethan Dejesus (’26, Riverview, Fla.)- the 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed pitcher struck out four over 2 and 2/3 innings pitched for Florida Burn. The uncommitted Dejesus showed a quick arm and athletic delivery against the eventual runner-up East Coast Sox 2025 Scout. He ran the fastball up to 88 mph and featured a tight slider in the 78-82 mph range with two-plane break. Dejesus did not allow a run on one hit and displayed the ability to miss barrels and induce weak contact. The Sumner High School product posted a 1.37 ERA over 41 innings pitched during the ’24 PG season with 58 strikeouts.


Nick Burgos (’25, Longwood, Fla.)- the 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed pitcher did not allow an earned run over 4 and 1/3 innings of relief for Florida Burn 2025 Scout. The uncommitted Burgos ran the fastball up to 90 mph and recorded nine of his 13 outs via the ground ball variety. He finished with a pair of strikeouts and two hits allowed while controlling the zone at a 62% strike rate over his 59-pitch outing. Over 30 innings pitched during the ’24 PG season, Burgos posted a 1.17 ERA and 34 strikeouts to just 13 walks.


Nick Frontino (’25, Bonita Springs, Fla.)- the 6-foot-3, 195-pound uncommitted shortstop recorded six hits in nine at-bats for Florida Burn 2025 Scout. A right-handed hitter, Frontino recorded at least one hit in three games and scored at least one run in all four games of the tournament. He accounted for 10 runs with six runs scored and four runs batted in with a 1.727 on-base plus slugging percentage. Over 35 games during the ’24 PG season, Burgos has posted a .395 batting average with five home runs, six doubles, three triples and 39 runs batted in.

-Jason Phillips

’25 MIF Jagger Snitko 
Snitko was not only one of the best performers in attendance in Jupiter but he leads the list of top uncommitted names in attendance as well. The middle infielder took home MVP honors after hitting .318 with seven hits and four RBI, three of his hits coming on championship day. He’s a lean 6-foot-1, 180-pound middle infielder that has all the tools to stick there but he also hits. There’s no reason he is still uncommitted and that should change very soon.  

’25 RHP Riley Gibson 
Gibson came out of the bullpen in pool play and showed high octane stuff in relief. The North Carolina native sat comfortably in the 92-94 range with good feel to rip off nasty breaking balls in the upper-70s. There’s obvious athleticism and arm speed here and he showed some of the loudest stuff throughout the weekend. The North Carolina native is somehow still uncommitted but I’m not sure that’ll be the case much longer with this good of an arm.  

’25 RHP Joseph Williams 
Williams showed some pretty intriguing stuff for Team Elite against a tough lineup in pool play. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-hander ran the fastball into the upper-80s with plenty more to project here as he continues to add strength. The arm is free and loose and the body projects well. The Georgia native rounds out the mix with a changeup and a slider, both in the mid-to-upper-70s. There’s plenty of reasons to be excited about Williams and will be a fun one to follow into the spring.  

’25 RHP Michael Orbegozo 
Orbegozo showed an intriguing mix on the mound in pool play for Knights Baseball 18u National. The 6-foot-2, 192-pound Arizona native showed easy arm strength and ran the fastball up to 93 mph early in the start. He settled into the 90-91 range and showed some feel for a two-plane breaker as well. Orbegozo was one of my favorite uncommitted names at the event and will be an excellent add to a 2025 recruiting class.  
 
-Cam McElwaney

Sawyer Cooney (2025, Bloomfield Hills., Mich.) was part of a loaded Cincinnati Reds Scout Team pitching staff, and he’s certainly an arm who would benefit a Division I staff. Cooney worked up to 92 mph on the fastball, with a feel for the off speed and an ability to command the zone. He threw 2.0 innings, walking 3, allowing 1 hit, and keeping the opposition off the board. He’s uncommitted but projects well and certainly has a live arm that is one to keep an eye on moving forward.

Seddrick Henderson (2026, Richmond, Calif.) is one of my favorite arms I saw during Jupiter. The long and lean, 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame has worlds of upside and will make a college pitching coach very happy. It’s an extremely live and quick arm. He works the upper-80s right now, but the arm projects for more moving forward. Henderson threw 2 and 1/3 innings, walked 2, allowed no hits, and punched out 4 opposing hitters in a really good outing, looking the part all the way through.

Andrew Wong (2026, Stamford, Conn.) is a real unique arm that I saw during Jupiter. He’s a 6-foot-7, 205-pound frame and build with traits to like, and he works from a tough low three-quarters nearly sidearm slot. It’s a really tough angle and look that creates good deception to it. He worked up to 91 mph on the fastball and found ways to mix a slider effectively with good sweeping depth to it. Tons of upside moving forward with Wong.

Filippo Baratta (2025, Mokena, Ill.) hit and hit often for his Cangelosi Sparks team down in Jupiter. The right-handed hitter has a smooth and simple stroke that yields results. He’s produced on the Midwest circuit before and has found ways to get it done. He hit .500 on the weekend, with more walks than punchouts and a handful of RBI. He’s clean up the middle on the infield and a 6.75 60-yard dash runner with traits to like across the board.

Tyler Johnson (2026, Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) looked real good for the Knights National squad as he turned in a 7.0 inning shut-out performance for his team. He walked 2, allowed 4 hits, struck out 2, and was able to navigate the opposition with ease. He worked the upper-80s on the fastball and held his velocity. He mixed in an upper-70s slider and mid-70s curveball to pair, with feel to pitch and locate to all quadrants.

-Tyler Kotila

Cannon Lee (2025, Clayton, N.C.) was effective in both of his starts in Jupiter going a combined 4 innings with 2 hits. He ran the fastball up to 90 mph and sat consistently in the 87-89 mph range. The changeup and curveball are both good pitches as well, with the changeup in the low 80s with some late fade action, and the curveball in the low 70s with an 11-5 shape. The uncommitted arm can use all of these pitches for strikes, and has the potential to be a very reliable guy in a rotation at the next level.

Ray Yero (2025, Miami, Fla.) is an uncommitted middle infielder that can hit with power to all fields. He had an impressive weekend hitting over .400, and was able to rack up some impressive exit velocity numbers. One of his hits was a screamer into the outfield, leaving the bat at 102 mph. Yero has a lot of rotational strength in his swing and he should only get stronger as he moves on to the next level.

JJ Baysinger (2025, Largo, Fla.) had an impressive showing on the bump, with the fastball up to 90 with some good ride. The uncommitted arm is also very intriguing because he’s just made the switch from catcher to pitcher. Baysinger is already athletic on the mound, and he is going to continue to get comfortable out there.

EC Astros Win Back-And-Forth Thriller
Will Dembo
Article Image
In a highly anticipated matchup between two of the nation’s top 17u teams, the East Cobb Astros defeated eXposure National 9-8 in a thrilling extra-inning battle to claim the PG Southeast Elite Championship. The Astros completed the weekend undefeated, opening their summer season with a hard-fought, statement victory. “I mean, it's fun, it's been a grind today,” said Astros Head Coach, Josh Burress. “Been out here a long day, but our guys are competitors, they come out compete, they want to compete and win, so it's just fun to watch them come out here and not quitting playing to the end... so the guys did very well today, and they competed all the way through.” eXposure began the opening frame by taking the early lead on an error but quickly gave their lead away as the Astros came out of the gates hot, plating six runs in just the first inning.

High School Top 50 Update: June 2

Tyler Russo
Article Image
With another few weeks in the book of the high school season, we’ve already had state champions crowned with playoffs happening in some northern states. There have been some upsets so there has been a good amount of movement in the National High School Top-50. We have a new number-one this update with Tomball (TX) taking over the top spot and will be playing for a state championship this week. They sport a 42-1 record heading into the title game and have been one of the best teams from start to finish this year. St. John Bosco (CA) has now gone back-to-back with Trinity League and CIF Southern Section titles and take over the No. 2 spot. No. 3 Aledo (TX) continues to win, No. 4 Trinity (KY) has been dominant in Kentucky play and No. 5 Norco (CA) lost the Southern Section title game and had a great year. Magnolia Heights (MS) moves up a few spots to No. 8 after winning their 8th...

Central Florida Invite Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Leanderson Argueta (2027, Panamá) absolutely outmatched every arm he faced this weekend ending up with seven hits, five of which were doubles and also hit a three run home run in game three. In the fifth inning against Freshwater Storm National Argueta got his pitch and deposited it over the wall for a go ahead three run home run. Showed real comfort in the box and was able to repeat the stroke well. Fires his hips with intent and the direct bat path plays to all parts of the park.  Jayden Pagan (2028, St. Cloud, Fla.) would not be denied this weekend slashing .500/.684/1.434. The championship game was no different for Pagan getting a first pitch heater and scorched it into left for an rbi triple. He would later add a double in the seventh inning that carried over the center fielders head. The bat to ball skills paired with his up the middle approach translate. The 2028...

Biscuits Elite Go Perfect at Kick-Off

Emily Hicks
Article Image
After several days of competitive baseball, the Summer Kick-Off came down to one final matchup between Biscuts Elite and BTA 18U. In the end, Biscuits Elite came away with the championship, earning a 26-13 victory at Goodyear Ballpark. “We're a hardworking group; we never give up," said JJ Utash. Biscuits Elite set the tone early, scoring 7 runs in the 1st inning and never looked back. “We just worked together as a team the whole time; we scored runs, and running the ball offensively was good,” said Utash. Nikolas Ramirez led the offense, finishing 3-4 with 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 2 runs scored. Kyle Wisniewski added a 3-4 day at the plate which included a triple, and a run scored to help fuel the attack. Wisniewski hit .444 through 4 games. On the mound, Sean McDaniels got the start, throwing 2.2 innings while allowing 1 hit and striking out 3 batters. The pitching...

Turn 2 Comes Back to Take BCS

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
A mostly clear day at Lee Health Sports Complex in Fort Myers, Florida set the stage for a tightly contested championship matchup between Florida Burn 2028 Myrback and Turn 2 Garcia. Behind two triples from Quinn Seglem, Turn 2 rallied for a 5-4 victory to claim the BCS Qualifier title. Left-hander Carter Brunco started on the mound for Turn 2, allowing six hits and four walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings. Burn jumped out to an early lead in the first inning. Luke Straw singled and later advanced to third on a wild pitch before Joe O’Brien delivered an RBI single to score the game’s first run. Blake Dubiel followed with another RBI single to give Burn a 2-0 advantage. Right-hander Straw carried the momentum onto the mound for Burn, holding Turn 2 hitless through the first two innings while recording a strikeout in each. In the top of the second, Spencer Meachum...

Cali Mid-Major Draft Notes

Joey Cohen
Article Image
California annually produces its share of high-profile prep and college draft talent, but this spring also offered quality depth especially on the mid-major side. I wanted to highlight a group of semi under-the-radar prospects who have quietly put together strong seasons and caught the attention of our staff whether it was with in-person looks or just by some performance/data metrics that popped. The bulk of this group comes out of the Big West, with additional names from the WCC, WAC, and Mountain West mixed in. Matthew Thomas - OF - CSUN  Few hitters in the Big West have matched Thomas’ offensive impact this spring, as he slashed a strong .335/.411/.679 with 15 home runs. Long and still mostly viewed as a power-first profile, he’s taken a meaningful step forward in the hit tool, cutting down a bit on significant swing-and-miss concerns while increasing his on-base...

EBC 17U-Griggs Making a Run in Hoover

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Talent may have helped EBC 17U-Griggs arrive at the 2026 Perfect Game Hoover Invitational as one of the tournament favorites, but team chemistry is what has carried them to Championship Monday. After a dominant weekend that included multiple shutout victories, and a dramatic comeback win, EBC 17U-Griggs earned its place in the championship round and sits just two wins away from bringing home the title. The roster is loaded with college commits and nationally ranked prospects, but throughout the tournament, EBC’s success has come from contributions across the lineup rather than relying on a single star. After an opening 5-12 victory setting the tone, followed by a huge 17-0 victory where nine different players recorded at least one RBI, highlighted the depth that has made this club one of the most dangerous teams in the field. Throughout the weekend, players such as Clayton Tolbert,...

Blalock's Consistency Shines in Hoover

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Blalock’s Consistency Continues to Shine at Hoover Invitational While many players his age are still learning how to handle the spotlight, Tristan Blalock has already become accustomed to it. The Madison, Alabama Native entered the 2026 Perfect Game Hoover Invitational as one of the most highly regarded players in the country, carrying a national ranking of No. 23 overall in the 2029 class and the distinction of being Alabama’s top ranked player. Yet despite the attention and high approval, Blalock’s approach remains remarkably simple.  “Just 100% effort,” Blalock said when asked about his defensive mindset. “Going out there every single time and giving it my all, do or die, no matter what the play is.” That mentality was on display Saturday as Blalock helped lead East Coast Sox Prime to a 14-0 victory over EBC 15U-Bell. Although the...

WWBA South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Jarrett Pierson (2027, Spring, Texas) was sharp in his start on Thursday. Went four hitless, surrendering just one walk, and punching out seven. Fastball was consistently 81-83 with a low approach angle to let him beat up the top of the zone with carry. Really strong feel for both the slider and change. Filled up the zone with a 70% strike rate. Closed, downhill delivery made it a really tough look for opposing hitters. Substantial amount of room in the frame for him to tick up in the future. One of the more fun watches to start the tournament. Landon Martinez (2027, Spring, Texas) has put on a display to start the tournament. 3-7 at this point, with a double, a walk off home run, and driving in two. The Stanford commit is one of the most tooled up players in this event, and he has been putting each of those on display throughout the opening two days. Super fluid mover, a high level...

Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

And here’s a look at the top of the class strength from ‘27 grad Sullivan Reed, this one going halfway up the trees to dead center…. @HailStateBB Commit #SEElite https://t.co/YvdrbS3bcL pic.twitter.com/qBzoOapJzJ — Perfect Game Georgia (@PG_Georgia) May 29, 2026 Sullivan Reed (2027, Meridian, Miss.) has put together some monster swings in his first PG event of the summer, just picking up right where he left off last summer. The ultra-physical 6-foot-2, 220-pound corner infielder has top of the scale power and showed it on Friday afternoon, going into the trees above the batter’s eye on field one. He’s as good of a power bat as you’ll find across the country that continues to put up gaudy numbers. The Mississippi State commit is currently hitting .667 across two games with a pair of doubles as well.  ‘27 C CJ Wall (GA) just absolutely...
