Florida HS Dream Team & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

The senior class in Florida is well below average from the historical Florida norms if you only consider native Floridians. Of that group, only three were 2024 Perfect Game All-Americans; shortstop Mario Magana, third baseman Dylan Dubovik and outfielder Lamar Edwards (Spruce Creek HS), who is not on the All-Florida Region team below.

What props up the 2025 class in Florida is the fact that the states many academies attract premium talent from across the country, in this case California, Iowa and North Carolina, and those players are considered part of the Florida Region for this exercise. That means that Dean Moss and Linkin Garcia (California), Sean Gamble (Iowa) and Kelvyn Paulino Jr (North Carolina) all qualify as from the Florida Region.

It also helps the state that the 2026 class is very talented, headlined by two of the four top ranked players in the class nationally in shortstop Jacob Lombard and outfielder Brady Harris, along with a group of quality arms. In all, 19 of the top 103 players in the 2026 class rankings are native Floridians.

IMG Academy, with three All-Region imports in Gamble, Paulino and Moss, are the top ranked team in the state and second overall in the country, although it should be noted that Moss is in his fourth year at IMG and Gamble his third. Trinity Christian Academy, boosted by an incredible junior class, is the second ranked team in the state, checking in at number four, just ahead of number six Tampa Jesuit and number eight Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Seven total Florida teams are listed in the pre-season PG Top 50 national rankings and there are sure to be more schools join that list during the highly competitive Florida prep season.

C -- Ty Harvey (Sr., Inspiration Academy, Fla.)

Harvey is a big and strong catcher whose best tool is his right-handed bat. The Florida State signee hit .470-12-33 in 36 games as a junior at Inspiration Academy and is a three-year starter with 21 career home runs. He also hit .482-3-17 in 24 games of Perfect Game play in 2024. Harvey is currently ranked 117th in the PG 2025 class rankings.

1B -- Max Murray Jr. (Sr., Hagarty HS, Fla.)

Murray Jr. is a talented all-around athlete who profiles as a first baseman at the college level but also has the tools to play third base and may be a two-way player with a fastball up to 91 mph who threw 70% strikes in PG play in 2024. He’s a left-handed hitter with lots of raw power in his 6-3/210 build and is signed with Central Florida.

MIF -- Mario Magana (Sr., Columbus HS, Fla.)

Magana is a 2024 PG All-American and currently ranked 41st overall in the 2025 class. He has an outstanding combination of size (6-3/195) and speed, with a 6.38 sixty to his credit. Magana is also a switch-hitter at the plate with huge power potential from both sides. He’s transferred from Braddock HS to Columbus HS for his senior year.

MIF -- Jacob Lombard (Jr., Gulliver Schools, Fla.)

Lombard is the second ranked player in the 2026 class nationally and has a higher ceiling than his former big league father, George, and his first round pick older brother, George Jr.. The youngest Lombard is a 6.30 runner who is a true shortstop and has huge offensive potential. A right-handed hitter, Lombard hit .434-1-28 with 16 extra base hits in 21 games of PG play in 2024.

3B -- Kelvyn Paulino Jr (Sr., IMG Academy, Fla.)

Paulino is a pure hitter with one of the best bats in the 2025 class. A 2024 PG All-American, he transferred to IMG Academy from North Carolina for his senior year and is ranked 46th overall in the PG class rankings. Paulino hit .458-3-36 in 26 PG games in 2024 and stood out especially against the highest level pitching. He is signed with Florida State.

OF – Dean Moss (Sr., IMG Academy, Fla.)

Moss was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area but has been attending IMG Academy since he was a freshman. The LSU signee has been known as one of the best left-handed hitters in the 2025 class since he was a 2020 13U Select Festival athlete and has improved tremendously as an athlete through his teen years. He’s been a metronome at the plate in his six-year PG career, driving in 157 runs in 153 games, including .385-2-23 in 22 games in 2024. Moss is ranked seventh in the 2025 class nationally.

OF – Sean Gamble (Sr., IMG Academy, Fla.)

Gamble is originally from Des Moines, Iowa but has been attending IMG Academy since he was a sophomore. He is the sixth ranked player in the 2024 class, the highest ranked outfielder and a 2024 PG All-American, along with being a two-time Select Festival athlete. Gamble is an elite overall athlete with 6.42 speed, a 93 mph outfield arm and big league level left-handed bat speed.

OF – Brady Harris (Jr., Trinity Christian Academy, Fla.)

Harris is the top ranked outfielder in the 2026 class nationally and is ranked fourth overall, giving Florida two of the very top junior prospects in the country with shortstop Jacob Lombard. Harris has a Dylan Crews type tool/skill set with solid run/throw tools and exceptional bat speed and power potential on a still growing 6-2/180 frame. He is committed to Florida.

RHP Aaron Watson (Sr., Trinity Christian Academy, Fla.)

Watson entered last summer with a scouting report that said he was a strike thrower with a mid to upper-80s fastball and a very athletic 6-5 build. He gained significant velocity in 2024 and is now a 91-94 thrower with a solid three-pitch mix and the same ability to throw strikes and might have more velocity still to come. Watson is a key to Trinity Christian’s state title hopes and is signed with Virginia.

LHP Aiden Stillman (Sr., Trinity Prep, Fla.)

Stillman is the top ranked pitcher in Florida in the 2025 class, checking in at 50th overall nationally. A Virginia signee who is sure to get extensive scouting attention this spring, Stillman has struck out 267 hitters in 153 innings in his four-year high school career, including 72 in 40 innings last spring. He also pitched for the 2024 USA 18U National Team. Stillman relies on a fastball in the 90-95 mph range to go with a low 80s slider.

LHP Gio Rojas (Jr., Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS, Fla.)

Rojas, the 19th ranked player in the 2026 class, is ready for a huge breakout on both sides of the ball this spring. He went 4-0, 0.66 with 41 strikeouts in 21 innings last spring and showed increased velocity in the summer and fall, topping out at 93 mph. Rojas should also be an integral part of the Stoneman Douglas offensive attack after hitting .322 last spring and .462-2-16 in 2024 PG play. He is a Miami commit.

RHP Wilson Andersen (Jr., Tampa Jesuit HS, Fla.)

The 6-4/190 Andersen is the top ranked right-handed pitcher in the 2026 class nationally and the 14th ranked overall prospect. He struck out 13 hitters in 6 innings at the WWBA 16U National Championships and was 93-96 mph with a swing and miss slider at the Perfect Game All-Star Game and still has big projection remaining. Despite pitching for one of the top high school programs in the country in Tampa Jesuit, Andersen is already a two-year varsity contributor with 86 strikeouts in 59 innings.

RHP Charlie Willcox (Sr., South Walton HS, Fla.)

Willcox is a strong (6-3/215) and very athletic (6.78 sixty) right-hander who has a solid three-pitch mix, including a 91-94 mph fastball, a low 80s curveball with 2500+ rpm and a firm change up. He’s posted a 14-3, 2.32 record in two years as a starter for South Walton High School and is signed with Georgia Tech. Willcox currently ranks 58th nationally in the 2025 class

Utility -- Linkin Garcia (Sr., A3 Academy, Fla.)

The 6-3/195 Garcia transferred into Florida from Huntington Beach (CA) High School, where he only played third base as a junior. He’s been up to 96 mph on the mound and was a strike thrower on the 2024 summer circuit. The right-hitting Garcia was also a dominant hitter on the 2024 summer circuit, hitting .444-4-25 in 30 games while showing an advanced ability to control the strike zone. The 92nd ranked player in the country, Garcia is signed with Texas Tech.

Top Tools in the Florida Region

Best Hitter for Average: Sean Gamble (Sr., IMG Academy, Fla.)

Gamble has an ideal combination as a left-handed hitter of raw bat speed, barrel skills and running speed to project as a high average hitter. There’s plenty of power potential there, too, but it all starts with his ability to square up balls.

Best Hitter for Power: Coleman Borthwick (Jr., South Walton HS, Fla.)

Florida is loaded with big power potential hitters but it’s hard to not highlight the 6-6/240 Borthwick. Not only does he have huge size and strength but has shown significant barrel skills to get to that power, having hit .453 in two years of high school play and .424 in PG play, both with more walks than strikeouts. Borthwick is also a two-way prospect who has been up to 94 mph on the mound.

Best Runner: Jacob Lombard (Jr., Gulliver Schools, Fla.)

Lombard’s 6.30 sixty stands out but not as much as the easy way he moves on the field, both defensively and on the bases. It’s easy to see him running even lower at major PG showcases in 2025.

Best Defensive Catcher: Jose Lopez (Sr., A3 Academy, Fla.)

Lopez has an excellent combination of size and durability at 6-1/210 and the overall athletic quickness that enables him to be a high-level defensive catcher. A 6.73 runner, Lopez also has a plus arm that has registered 83 mph behind the plate, 90 mph off the mound and 95 mph in infield drills. He is signed with Grand Canyon.

Best Defensive Infielder: Jacob Lombard (Jr., Gulliver Schools, Fla.)

Lombard is an easy athletic glider on the dirt who gets to everything and plays with seemingly little effort. It’s basically a tossup between he and Texas shortstop Grady Emerson for who is the top prospect in the 2026 class nationally.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Dean Moss (Sr., IMG Academy, Fla.)

Any of the three All-Region outfielders could win this award and Gamble and Harris technically have better overall tool sets than Moss. But Moss, who began his high school career first baseman, keeps making outstanding catches at major events, including the best defensive play at the PG All-American Classic.

Best Defensive Arm: Dylan Dubovik (Sr., St. Andrews HS, Fla.)

A 2024 PG All-American, Dubovik is a primary third baseman who has the speed (6.59) to play the outfield as well. He also has one of the strongest arms in this or any high school class, having thrown 101 mph from the outfield, 98 mph from the infield and 93 mph from them mound. Dubovik is signed with Miami.

Best Fastball: Wilson Andersenn (Jr., Tampa Jesuit HS, Fla.)

There’s no telling how hard Andersen will be throwing by the time he finishes his high school career and is eligible for the 2026 draft. He’s relatively young for his class and was sitting mid-90s and throwing strikes when he was 16 years old.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: Charlie Willcox (Sr., South Walton HS, Fla.)

Willcox uses his power curveball in the low 80s as his strikeout pitch and it plays very well with his high spin riding fastball. His firm mid-80s changeup grades out just as well as his curveball and he profiles as an ideal three pitch starter with a big mature body and above average command.

Best Pitchability: Gio Rojas (Jr., Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS, Fla.)

Rojas comes at hitters with a low 90s fastball, a low 80s slider that he commands very well and a solid upper 70s changeup and seems to often toy with hitters. Along with his 2024 high school strikeout numbers, he’s fanned 48 hitters in his last 29 PG innings over the last two years.

Best Multi-Sport Athlete: Jacob Lombard (Jr., Gulliver Schools, Fla.)

Soccer is an unusual secondary sport for a standout baseball player but Lombard has proven to be almost as good on the soccer pitch as he has the baseball field. He’s been a starter for Gulliver’s 2023 and 2024 State Class 4 Soccer Champions, scoring the winning goal in the 2024 championship game.

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

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 HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

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...
