Class of 2027 Tourney All-American Team

The 2024 season saw many players from the 15U age group begin to establish themselves as underclass stars with their continued high level performance at PG events. Several of the players on this years 2027 All-Tournament teams played in Perfect Game’s prestigious Select Festivals before reaching high school, including both of this years 15U Player and Pitcher of the Year. Equally as many players that made this year's 15U Tourney All-American Team, bursting onto the scene and while making a name for themselves with the opportunities that the 2024 season provided.

Caden Dawson was a dynamic star for all of 2024, putting a blend of power and speed on display while proving he’s both an elite prospect and elite in game performer. He finished second in the class in home runs and first in the class in stolen bases and made five total All-Tournament Teams from 2024 tournaments, including being selected to the All-Tournament Team for the 15U, 16U and 18U WWBA National Championships. Dawson put together a final triple slash line from 2024 PG Tournaments of .370/.502/.630 with 7 home runs and 47 stolen bases, earning the title of 2024 15U PG Tournament Player of the Year.



Kaiden McCarthy put together one of the most overpoweringly dominant seasons we saw at the 15U level in 2024. Combining pure stuff and pitchability with a three pitch-mix to consistently perform at a high level, he topped 93 mph or higher with the fastball in six different tournaments in 2024. He was an All-Tournament Team selection as a pitcher six times as well, highlighted by his performance at the 15U WWBA National Championship where he struck out 16 hitters in 7 innings, allowing just 2 hits with no runs and no walks. In total for 2024 he finished the year with 34 IP, a 0.62 ERA and 70 strikeouts on his way to earning the title of 2024 15U PG Tournament Pitcher of the Year.

Player of the Year: Caden Dawson, OF, Marietta (GA)

South Underclass Qualifier Scout Notes

Geoff Billock
Article Image
Cole Marquardt (2029, Montgomery, Texas) left no doubt this weekend as he came home with Tournament MVP honors for his work with Banditos 2028 Black. Went 7-10 with a double, a home run, a pair of triples, and the walk off single in the championship game. Projectable left-handed swing with plenty of tools to dream on. Bat to ball was on point all weekend and he had plenty of chances to show off an advanced run tool. Plenty to dream on moving forward. Callen Corley (2028, Houston, Texas) put together a stellar two-way performance for Houston Wildcatters Navy 2028. At the plate, he went 5-10 with a double, triple, and home run, driving in seven runs. Sinks into his lower half well and creates strong angles for leverage. Plenty of power upside remaining in that frame, to go along with the twitch already present. On the mound, Corley went four shutout innings, surrendering just one hit while...

Midwest Labor Day Classic Scout Notes

Brayden Powell
Article Image
Ryan Jones (2027, Tinley Park, IL) was one of the most productive hitters of the weekend, collecting six hits, including three doubles and a home run, while driving in nine runs. The left-handed hitter consistently got the barrel out front and created hard contact throughout the event. Working from an open setup with high hands, he features a compact swing that allows him to get to the ball quickly. His hand speed stood out and helped him drive the baseball to multiple parts of the field. Jones showed a strong understanding of pitches he could handle and rarely missed opportunities to do damage. The swing remains efficient through the zone and produces carry off the barrel. His combination of consistent contact and extra-base impact made him a key offensive contributor all weekend. Uncommitted  JP Elbert (2027, Dubuque, IA) put together an impressive tournament, finishing with five...

Walk. It. Off! ‘27 IF Drew Giles (GA) calls game here as he hammers a ball over the CF wall for a solo HR to win it in the bottom of the 7th. #FLQualifier pic.twitter.com/YrzspVZzUY — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) September 12, 2026 Drew Giles (2027, Brunswick, Ga.) took home MVP honors from the weekend after hitting .385 including a walkoff home run during pool play. Giles helped lead his Canes team to victory and did so with the bat. The swing is super short and simple and he gets immense jump off the barrel. It’s a level path through the zone but the blend of hit and power showed out all weekend for the MVP.  August Backman (2027, Venice, Fla.) had a solid weekend on both sides of the ball: hitting .333 over three games and also sitting 88-91 mph on the mound. Backman, a Florida commit who is nationally ranked, has a three pitch mix highlighted by a really...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo 💣 on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers. Excellent hit/run combo and here comes the juice! #PGHS #Miami commit @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/g4gtml81mm — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) April 1, 2026 Prep: OF, Jake...
