Preseason Collegiate All-Americans

Preseason Top 25 Rankings

While players in our game at the professional level continues to get younger, the opposite can be said for the college game as players continue to get older. The depth and quality of talent has never been better, and the 2025 Perfect Game Pre-Season All-American teams will attest to this fact. With the 2025 College Baseball season is just around the corner, the Perfect Game college staff will have you loaded with coverage heading into the year.



On the heels of our Pre-Season Top-25 poll, the All-American list will be headlined by five players in the great state of Texas. It all starts in College Station with potential No. 1 draft pick Jace Laviolette and elite lefty starter Ryan Prager, both representing Texas A&M. Not to be outdone in Austin, the Texas Longhorns added a couple stars to the list with Jalin Flores and power hitting Max Belyeu. Last but not least, TCU will have things well in hand at the end of the game with relief pitcher Benjamin Abeldt back in Fort Worth.

Keep plugged in to perfectgame.org to see all of the content as we continue to roll out until opening day and make sure to follow our college team of Craig Cozart and Vinnie Cervino.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 18

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Brandon Shannon | Fr. | RHP | Louisville | Bourne Braves  The freshman right-hander possesses arguably the most electric arm on the Cape, pairing a lean, projectable frame with plenty of room to continue adding strength. Shannon worked an effortless 96-98 mph throughout the outing with premium arm speed. His mid-80s slider generates plenty of swing-and-miss, while his 92-93 mph power changeup gives him a quality third offering to neutralize left-handed hitters. After flashing premium stuff during his freshman season at Louisville, Shannon has carried that arsenal into the summer and possesses the type of arm talent to develop into a Day 1 draft prospect as he continues refining his command and overall polish.    Another look at 1B/P Josiah Overbeek (@HailStateBB) Pull side RBI single here. @BourneBraves https://t.co/YA17RJnFo8 pic.twitter.com/Jw7iDMliZG — PG College...

17u WWBA North Champ. Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Ty Teske (2027, Merrill, WI) worked a complete-game seven-inning shutout while striking out 12 and never allowed the game to speed up on him. The fastball sat 79-81 and touched 83, consistently working to both sides of the plate and getting him into favorable counts. Repeats the delivery exceptionally well and maintained command throughout all seven innings. Mixed in a 69-71 curveball with depth that he showed confidence landing for strikes early or using to finish at-bats. Did an excellent job changing eye levels and preventing hitters from sitting on one pitch.   Landon Sanderson (2027, Lake Crystal, MN) attacked hitters with an 85-87 fastball that reached 89 and showed quality arm-side movement through the zone. The ball comes out with some jump and continued to play throughout the outing. Stayed on the attack from the first inning, consistently getting ahead and forcing...

16u World Series Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cal Pearson (2028, Marietta, GA) is a 6’1/175lb utility athlete who has performed from a couple different spots on day one. Pearson came in to relieve in the bottom of the fifth and filled up the strike zone with predominantly fastball. Stepped up for an at bat in the next inning and helped himself out by sending a 2-1 heater into left field for an rbi double. Following that he got back on the mound and delivered a scoreless inning to put the finishing touches on the save. Was up to 89 and showed a ton of 2-way ability.  Marcus Labouchere (2027, Powder Springs, GA) the Navy commit could not be stopped at the dish on day one going 2-2 with a double and an rbi. Opened up the game getting the barrel on a heater and smoking it into left for a single. After getting hit by pitch in the third, Labouchere lined another fastball into left field for an rbi double. Really gets deep into...

Hoover Classic Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Hayes Leach (‘29 MS) has been a thrill to watch here in Hoover, now up to five hits in the tournament as we head into bracket. Serving as the leadoff man for East Coast Sox 2029 Marucci, he holds a really fun profile featuring excellent speed traits with feel to hit gap-to-gap. Often hits baseballs hard on the ground, giving him opportunities to beat throws out. Had three hits with 3 RBI in their 10-run comeback on Saturday. Number two outfielder in the state of Mississippi for class.   Enoch Carlise (‘27 TN) settling in on the bump.

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 RJ Westbrook (‘29, GA) battled traffic early but showcased an advanced pitch mix while striking out three thus far. Got the FB up to 86 w/ late ASR, mixing in a hz SL in the mid-70s. #WWBA @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/pvObFgeFUD — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 18, 2026 RJ Westbrook (’29, Marietta, GA) struck out three over as many innings, allowing just a hit while battling traffic. Westbrook showcased an advanced pitch mix from the left side, operating from a lengthy frame with room to fill and projection. He starts over the face before working to the belt and into a high compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a standard-length arm action and a low three-quarters slot. The Georgia native ran the fastball up to 86 with late arm side run and heavy actions at times. Westbrook kept hitters off balance thanks to a tighter horizontal...

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Hudson Sage (’29, Houston, TX) had a strong start to his event, collecting three hits to drive in four including a pair of doubles. Sage operates from a medium right-handed frame with a mix of length and strength, displaying athleticism. He starts with a wide base, keeping the hands high and active, working into a deep inward leg load. The native Texan fires through a quick and compact barrel with accuracy and all fields impact. Defensively, Sage appeared in the outfield where he has proven to have a strong throwing arm. Cooper Holland (‘29, CA) deposits a solo homer to straightaway right.
