21. Prestonwood Christian (Plano, Tx.)



2024 Record:
26-2-1
Head Coach: James Vilade

Notable Prospect(s): LHP Robert X Mitchell (Texas), LHP Wolfgang Braasch (Texas Tech), RHP Landon Murphy (UT Arlington), RHP Trent Vilade (Texas A&M), OF Austin Smith, OF Lash Henderson

Prestonwood Christian rattled off one of their best years in program history a season ago and they’re looking to do so yet again in 2025. They have more than enough talent to do so as well and everything starts on the mound. They have four arms that are committed to division-one programs including Texas signee Robert X Mitchell, Texas Tech signee Wolfgang Braasch, UT Arlington signee Landon Murphy and junior right-hander and Texas A&M commit Trent Vilade. It's quite a ridiculous number of arms that they’ll be able to roll out on any given day and they also bring back two incredibly talented outfielders in junior Austin Smith and top-5 player in the 2027 class in Lash Henderson. After being eliminated in the final-four a season ago, they come into the year as the favorite to bring home their third state championship in program history.

22. West Monroe (West Monroe, La.)

2024 Record: 31-8
Head Coach: Brad Simpson

Notable Prospect(s):
C Tyler Roark (ULM), RHP Andrew Ferguson (Louisiana Tech), LHP Bradyn Cupit (LSU)

West Monroe returns in the 2025 campaign after a strong campaign a year ago that saw them rattle off their second straight state championship. They have some important pieces to replaces from a season ago, but they come back as the early favorites to repeat. They have a strong one-two punch in their rotation with highly ranked junior left-hander Bradyn Cupit and senior right-hander and Louisiana Tech signee Andrew Ferguson leading the charge on the mound. They also have one of the better catchers in the state in Tyler Roark handling the staff behind the plate as well as providing some power at the dish. They come back as one of the top teams in the state once again and it’s easy to bet on the winning pedigree that they’ve had for quite some time. The starting staff is one of the better in the state and they’ll rely on them heavily to try to finish off the three-peat in 2025.

23. Santa Margarita Catholic (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.)

2024 Record:
22-10-1
Head Coach: Chris Malec

Notable Prospect(s): RHP Hayden George (UCLA), C Lucas Owens, SS Gavin Spiridonoff (Cal Poly), 2B Brody Schumaker (TCU), C Warren Gravely IV (Notre Dame), 3B Andre Owens (Oklahoma State), OF Jacob Wicker (Loyola Marymount), OF Vincent Milo

Santa Margarita Catholic is another one of the usual suspects that come into every year as one of the higher ranked programs in the country. 2025 is no different as they bring back an extremely talented group led by an impressive senior and junior class. Headlining the senior class is UCLA signee and right-hander Hayden George, Lucas Owens, and Cal Poly signee Gavin Spiridonoff. The senior class is strong, but they also boast one of the better junior groups in Southern California, having two players ranked inside the top-275 in the class. Brody Schumaker and Warren Gravely IV lead that group along with Andre Owens, Jacob Wicker, and Vincent Milo. It’s yet another highly talented group in Rancho Santa Margarita with a solid chance of rattling off a season similar to their 2023 campaign, one in which they finished ranked inside the top-15 in the country.

24. Alred M. Barbe (Lake Charles, La.)

2024 Record:
34-7
Head Coach: Glenn Cecchini

Notable Prospect(s): C Presley Courville (Texas), OF John David Alexander (Texas A&M), RHP Myles Ledoux, OF Jordin Griffin (LSU)

Barbe has been a usual suspect to look for in the top-50 for a while and they bring back another star-studded roster as they look to capture their 13th state championship in school history. They have one of the top ranked catchers in the 2025 class in Texas signee Presley Courville and also return a top-10 talent in the 2027 class and LSU commit Jordin Griffin. The offensive firepower doesn’t stop there as they also have Texas A&M commit John David Alexander and a top-10 player in the state in 2026 in Myles Ledoux. They’ve had more star power in previous seasons but the track record of winning and top end talent on this roster has Barbe ranked highly once again in the preseason as they look to get their hands back on that championship trophy this year.

25. Brother Rice (Chicago, Ill.)

2024 Record:
20-18
Head Coach: Sean McBride

Notable Prospect(s): Gavin Triezenberg (Arizona), 3B Aidan Nohava (Eastern Michigan), 2B Derrick Holmes, MIF Jackson Natanek (Illinois State), OF Nolan Ramoley (Kentucky), LHP Braydon Mckendrick, SS Colin Campbell (Louisville), IF Mikey Watson, RHP Brady Cunningham

Brother Rice has been one of the better programs in Illinois for quite some time and they bring back one of the most talented rosters yet again in the state. It’s a strong senior group of bats in Gavin Triezenberg, Aidan Nohava, Derrick Holmes, and Jackson Natanek. They also return Kentucky commit Nolan Ramoley and junior left-handed Braydon Mckendrick to the 2025 roster. The junior and senior classes are strong, and they also have one of the top sophomore classes anywhere in the country as the have five juniors ranked at 500 or better, including three inside the top-500. All in all, Brother Rice boasts five division-one commitments through all their classes, giving them one of the stronger rosters on paper in the country. They’ll be looking to put together a special season in 2025 and they seem to be in great position to do so.

26. Corona Del Sol (Tempe, Ariz.)

2024 Record:
10-18
Head Coach: Dave Webb

Notable Prospect(s): RHP Brett Crossland (Texas), SS Jaiden LoRe (BYU), C Cooper Clouser (Arizona State), RHP Zane Burns (Oklahoma State), RHP Ryan Caruso (Arizona State), OF Parker Williams, RHP Preston Berg (SDSU), SS Conor Rae, OF Ben Jacobus

Corona Del Sol got off to a slow start a year ago and never could get their footing, finishing the year at 10-18. Don’t read too much into that record from a year ago as they also come into the 2025 year with not only one of the top rosters in the Southwest, but one of the top rosters in the country. The starting staff has a chance to be a special one, led by top-40 player in the 2025 class in Texas signee Brett Crossland. Rounding out the staff is Oklahoma State signee Zane Burns, Arizona State signee Ryan Caruso and SDSU commit Preston Burg. The talent doesn’t stop there as they also have two of the top position players in Arizona in Jaiden LoRe and Cooper CLouser as well as returning junior outfielder Parker Williams. Top-100 talent in the 2027 class Conor Rae also transferred in from Hamilton where he spent his freshman campaign. This roster now has five division-one commitments, the most in the state, as they are the early favorites to win a state title for the first time since 2009.

27. North Broward Prep (Coconut Creek, Fla.)

2024 Record:
28-3
Head Coach: Brian Campbell

Notable Prospect(s): 1B Josiah Haslem, SS Kiernan O’Neill (UCF), RHP John Rodriguez, OF Adolfo Camacho, RHP Jack Rostock, RHP Logan Bristol, 2B Alexander Smith, SS Gabriel Coupet

North Broward Prep has been a mainstay in the top-50 the last few years as they rattled off state championships in three of the last four seasons with their stellar senior group from a year ago. While they’re going to have to replace quite a few pieces, they still bring back one of the most talented rosters in Florida in 2025. Leading that group is a trio of seniors in Josiah Haslem, Kiernan O’Neill, and John Rodriguez. They also return juniors Adolfo Camacho and Jack Rostock to the roster. The sophomore group that they have has a chance to be another special one with Logan Bristol and Alexander Smith headlining that group, both being ranked inside the top-150 nationally. They also welcome top-100 prospect in the 2028 class Gabriel Coupet onto the roster this year. They put together one of the more historic runs in recent memory over the past four years and look to continue that run in 2025 with another state title.

28. Brophy College Prep (Phoenix, Ariz.)

2024 Record:
24-7
Head Coach: Josh Garcia

Notable Prospect(s): RHP Jack Lafflam (Arizona), RHP Benton Hickman (Arizona), C Jonah Castle, SS Dreson Ethier, C Charlie Borchard

The Broncos bounced back in a big way a year ago, putting together a 24-7 season just a year removed from being 13-16. It’s easy to think that this season may just be better than a year ago with the amount of talent that they return to the roster. Leading the charge is one of the better one-two punches in the state in a pair of Arizona signees in Jack Lafflam and Benton Hickman. Lafflam is one of the top right-handers in the entire class and Hickman has been into the low-90s in recent outings. On the offensive side of things, it’s a young group led by sophomore shortstop Dreson Ethier and sophomore catcher Charlie Borchard. They also have junior backstop Jonah Castle coming back as well. There’s plenty of reasons to be excited about this team coming into 2025, especially with the electric stuff on the mound that they’ll be able to roll out any given game.

29. Blessed Trinity (Roswell, Ga.)

2024 Record:
28-11
Head Coach: Jamie Wagner

Notable Prospect(s): SS Terrance Bowen (Oklahoma State), 3B Aiden Zagryn (Gulf Coast State), Carson Zagryn (Gulf Coast State), Kade Kisz (Georgia Southern), OF Wesley Bass (Georgia State), RHP Cameron Novak, RHP Joseph Contreras, SS Ryder Register, LHP Brayden Loquasto, OF Caden Dawson, 3B Aiden Pack, OF Andrew Coachran

Blessed Trinity turns out as much talent as anyone in the state of Georgia and 2025 looks like it has a chance to be a special one even for one of the perineal powerhouses in the state. The offense they roll out will have some special bats including Oklahoma State signee Terrance Bowen and top-3 talent in the 2027 class in Caden Dawson who’s coming off a monstrous season in his freshman campaign. Aiden and Carson Zagryn return along with Kade Kisz and Wesley Bass, giving them more than enough firepower to put up big run totals. It’s a little younger of a group on the mound but there’s more than enough talent there to throw up zeros. Junior right-hander Joseph Contreras and senior right-hander Cameron Novak will throw big innings as well as sophomore Aiden Pack bringing some high-octane stuff as well. It’s yet another talented roster in Roswell that’s looking to string together another strong campaign in 2025.

30. St. John Vianney (Kirkwood, Mo.)

2024 Record:
18-20-1
Head Coach: David Stewart

Notable Prospect(s): RHP Jadyn Furgason (Texas), RHP JD Dohrmann (Missouri), 1B Ryker Benz, 3B Trey Jozwiakowski (Central Missouri), OF Cole Adair (Missouri Southern State), RHP Nick Steurer (Truman State), 1B Nolan Jaworowski (Cincinnati), OF Logan Baumann, LHP Zach Van Hook (Missouri)

St. John Vianney is coming off a tough season a year ago but also bring back one of the most talented rosters throughout the Midwest. They have two of the top arms in Missouri leading their staff in Texas signee Jadyn Furgason and Missouri signee JD Dohrmann with a host of other upperclass arms more than able to contribute, including Nick Steurer and Zach Van Hook. It’s also a veteran led lineup in seniors Ryker Benz, Trey Jozwiakowski, Cole Adair, Nolan Jaworowski along with junior Logan Baumann, giving them one of the better lineups in the state to go along with the high-level arms they have. It’s a well-rounded group that is coming into the year looking for revenge from a season ago. It’s quite easy to see why this group has a ton of buzz around it with high level-arms littering the staff to a veteran offense, Vianney has a chance to put up their best year in recent memory in 2025.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo 💣 (100 EV/ 416 ft).

Perfect Game Iowa City Scouting Showcase August 29-30 Ashley Mears It was a great weekend to kick off the Fall 2026 tournament campaign in Iowa City. The fields were packed with college coaches from across the Midwest, providing a great opportunity for players to showcase their talents.

We are excited to continue following these players and see what the rest of the fall has in store! Gillian Hansen (2028 New Brighton, MN) of the 18u MN Force Impact Standering was an absolute force to be reckoned with at the plate this weekend. Hansen possesses a strong, athletic build that translates into impressive power. Standing parallel to the plate, she utilizes her lower half effectively and does an excellent job of staying through the ball and extending through the zone. Hansen led the...

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...
