NORTHWEST REGION (WA, OR, ID, WY, AK, MT)  
The Northwest Region continues its recent pattern of providing plenty of high ceiling high school talent to the national rankings despite having easily the smallest population base of any of the PG regions.  The 2025 class features five Perfect Game All-Americans, all of whom are ranked among the top 35 seniors in the country and three are among the top 12; 2nd ranked Xavier Neyens, 9th ranked Kruz Schoolcraft and 12th ranked Slate De Brun.



Let by two-way All-American standout Mason Pike and highly ranked 2027 shortstop Brayden Landry, Puyallup High School (Wash.) is the only team from the region in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50, checking in at an impressive 10th overall.

C – Teagan Scott (Jr., South Salem HS, Ore.)

Scott was a 2023 PG 14U Select Festival player and is the top ranked junior in Oregon at 139th overall nationally.  The right-handed hitter led the state in hitting as a sophomore at .521-2-32 while also drawing 32 walks for a .655 OB% and was named first team All-State as well.  Scott has a strong 5-11/195 build and all the physical tools to stay behind the plate defensively.  He is committed to Oregon State.

1B – Brock Silvers (Sr., Middleton Academy, Idaho)

Silvers looks like a first baseman with his long and still projectable 6-5/210 build and he’s played plenty of third base and can also play left field.  He’s a strong right-handed hitter who has notably hit better in the summers with wood bats (.395 in 38 PG games) than he has in the springs in Idaho.  The 104th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally, Silvers is signed with South Florida.

MIF – Teddy Tokheim (Sr., Lakeside HS, Wash.)

The 119th ranked player nationally in the 2025 class, Tokheim projects more as a third baseman at the next level but will be positioned in the middle of the field on this team.  Much like his fellow All-Region middle infielder, Tokheim is an offensive first prospect and has hit .452-5-49 in 46 PG games over the last three years.  A 6-3/200 right-handed hitter, Tokheim is signed with Stanford.

MIF – Finn Leach (Sr., Nathan Hale HS, Wash.)

Leach is a 6-1/195 switch-hitter who really stands out with his bat and offensive potential.  He’s hit pretty much everywhere during his high school career, including .420 as a sophomore and .493 as a junior at Nathan Hale HS and .407 with a 49:20 walk to strikeout ratio in almost 200 PG career at-bats.  An Arizona State signee, Leach is the 146th ranked player in the PG 2025 class rankings and fourth in the state of Washington

3B – Xavier Neyens (Sr., Mount Vernon HS, Wash.)

Neyens debuted as a catcher at the 2021 PG Select Festival but shortly afterwards transitioned to left side infield, where he is now the second ranked player nationally in the 2025 class behind another third baseman with a very similar profile in Ethan Holliday.  Neyens hit .443-3-24 as a junior at Mount Vernon HS while also going 7-0, 1.35 on the mound, where he tops out at 94 mph.  He is signed with Oregon State.

OF – Will Cahill (Sr., Seattle Prep, Wash.)

Cahill is a strong-bodied 6-2/205 lefthanded hitting outfielder with a right field throwing arm and very promising power at the plate.  He is signed with Washington.

OF – Gabriel Coltman (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Coltman and Silver are interchangeable on the All-Region team but the 6-5/235 Coltman is very athletic for his size with 6.8 speed and a 90 mph throwing arm.  An immensely strong right-handed hitter, Coltman can hit the ball as far as anyone in the country and is well known at national home run hitting contests.  He’s ranked 140th in the PG national rankings and is signed with South Carolina-Upstate.

OF –  Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun gets tons of comparisons to undersized and athletically dynamic first round outfielders such as Corbin Carroll and Slade Caldwell and it’s easy to see the similarities.  The left-handed hitting de Brun is a lightning quick 6.39 runner whose speed seems to play up in games and projects as a plus defender in centerfield.  He’s one of the youngest top 2025 prospects and is signed with Vanderbilt.

LHP Jonah Aase (Sr., Meridian HS, Wash.)

Aase is a very polished southpaw who has a full four-pitch mix including a fastball that tops out at 91 mph from an easy low-effort delivery.  He struck out 32 in 16 innings during 2024 in PG play and was named the Most Valuable Player at the 17U Ultimate Baseball Championship-West.  The 286th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally, Aase is signed with Louisiana State.

RHP Bryce Collins (Jr., Kelso HS, Wash.)

Collins is a very projectable 6-2/190 right-hander who already works in the 88-91 mph range with a low 80’s slider and upper 70’s change up.  A quality athlete who also plays the outfield, Collins is committed to Mississippi and is ranked 298th nationally in the 2026 class.

RHP River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton was one of the most improved pitchers in the country in 2024 and ended the year as the 30th ranked player in the 2025 class and the sixth ranked right-handed pitcher.  He was up to 95 mph at the PG All-American Classic and has an advanced feel for switching between a slider and curveball and throwing strikes with all his pitches.  Hamilton is signed with Louisiana State.

RHP Eli Herst (Jr., Seattle Academy, Wash.)

Herst is a 6-5/205 right hander who just turned 17 years old but is already throwing 90 mph with lots of polish to his upper 70’s slider and low 80’s change up.  The 157th ranked pitcher in the 2026 class and top ranked Washington junior, Herst is committed to Vanderbilt.

LHP Kruz Schoolcraft (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Schoolcraft is the second ranked pitcher in the 2025 class and the top ranked left-hander.  Originally a member of the 2026 class, the 6-8/230 Schoolcraft completely dominated Oregon high school baseball in 2024, posting a 9-0, 0.47 record with 146 strikeouts in 71 innings while also hitting .506-7-30 at the plate.  He pitches in the 93-97 mph range with a big swing and miss slider and is signed with Tennessee.

UT   Mason Pike (Sr., Puyallup HS, Wash.)

Pike started his high school and PG careers as more of a primary shortstop but his big arm has made him a legit two-way guy at the college level who could go either way as a professional.  An Oregon State signee and PG All-American, Pike went 8-0, 1.06 with 83 strikeouts in 59 innings as a junior and has been up to 96 mph off the mound.  A switch-hitter at the plate, he hit .431 as a junior and hit .500-0-7 at the season-opening 2025 MLK West Championship in January.

 
Northwest Region Top Tools


Best Hitter for Average: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun hit .413-3-13 with 22 walks in 25 games in 2024 PG play, coming on the heels of his 2023 season that saw him hit .462-0-6 with 13 walks in 16 games.  He’s going to be a high average/high on-base percentage top of the order hitter at the next level right away.

Best Hitter for Power: Xavier Neyens (Sr., Mount Vernon HS, Wash.)

While Gabriel Coltman may have more base raw power, Neyens power translates best in games and actually comes out better with wood bats than metal bats.  The left-handed hitter shows easy gap to gap middle of the field power and can hit the ball just as far to left center field as to the pull side.

Best Runner: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun ranks among the most impactful speed players in the country, with a great combination of first step quickness and top end speed.  That speed could be most impactful on the offensive side given how often he projects to get on base with his offensive skill set.

Best Defensive Catcher: Teagan Scott (Jr., South Salem HS, Ore.)

Scott’s arm strength stands out defensively but he’s also a quality athlete with good lower half quickness and flexibility.

Best Defensive Infielder: Rilen Niclai (Jr., Service HS, Alaska)

Niclai’s brother, Coen, is a freshman slugging catcher at Oregon and was the 15th round pick of the Marlins in the 2024 draft.  Younger brother Rilen is a completely different type of athlete as a smooth and quick strong-armed shortstop but might end up being just as good of player in the long run.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

There are few players in the country who bring de Brun’s defensive tools to the table at any position.  He has outstanding first step quickness to get jumps and 6.39 speed to close on balls.  He also has a 94 mph outfield arm.

Best Defensive Arm: Mason Pike (Sr., Puyallup HS, Wash.)

Pike threw 97 in the infield at the PG National Showcase and his arm strength is as obvious in games as it is in drills.  Xavier Neyens could be the top defensive arm in some other regions around the country.


Best Fastball: Kruz Schoolcraft (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Schoolcraft’s 94-97 mph fastball plays up with his 6-8 height and low and very extended release point.  It’s not out of the question that he could even add some velocity as he’s still 17-years old and is a high-level overall athlete.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton throws both his curveball and slider with 2,500 rpm spin and adds and subtracts on them with maturity and feel.  He also has a low 80’s change up that should develop into a quality fourth pitch as he uses it more.

Best Pitchability: River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton threw in three PG tournaments in 2024 and was named the Most Valuable Pitcher in all three, striking out 45 hitters in 24 innings while only allowing 8 walks.  He’s a strike thrower with all his pitches and can use his breaking stuff at any point in counts.

East Cobb Goes Undefeated, Takes 14U BCS Twenty years after winning the inaugural 14U BCS National Championship in 2006, the East Cobb Astros once again stood atop the tournament, defeating the Original Florida Pokers 7-4 at JetBlue Park. A hot, sunny afternoon set the stage for a tightly contested match between the Original Florida Pokers 2030 and East Cobb Astros 14U Orange.

The teams battled through a highly contested tournament field of over sixty teams from across the country, with the Pokers coming in 8-1 and East Cobb entering 8-0 in tournament play.

Mine Wood Bat World Series Notes

Jordan Gates
Article Image
‘28 OF/LHP Carson Tabler (OH) Rips one deep into the pull side gap for an inside-the-park HR. Athletic in the box w/ a projectable frame. Utilizes a toe tap on a fluid stroke w/ good bat speed. Good runner in stride + efficient around the bases. #MineWS @Carson_T7 @PFFlyers2028 pic.twitter.com/IVfICPg4qV — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 10, 2026 Carson Tabler (2028, Cincinnati, Ohio) Tabler was probably the most pleasant surprise when it comes to names from this weekend. A rather unknown for me and my staff going into the event, Tabler managed to cement himself by event’s end. It’s a true two-way projection at this stage, while he has the size in the 6-foot-3 long and loose frame, the strength will continue to add on to the 175-pound stature. While he only had two extra-base hits (triple, home run), the bat-to-ball skills were the calling card, and...

SBA Bolts National Raise Trophy at 16u

Will Dembo
Article Image
After an action-packed week at the 16u WWBA Championships, the tournament came down to two of the nation’s top teams battling for one of travel baseball’s most prestigious titles. No. 5 ranked SBA Bolts National faced No. 60 Alpha Prime 2028 after both teams reached the championship undefeated, but the SBA Bolts were the sole team to exit without a loss, defeating Alpha Prime 10-2 in mercy rule fashion and capture the national title behind dominant pitching and explosive offensive performances. The SBA Bolts were perfect throughout their week, running the table and going 11-0 while outscoring their opponents by an impressive margin of 108-25. “It was awesome,” SBA Head Coach Travis Thompson said on the mercy rule victory. “It just kind of culminated our week. It's been a long week. I can't even remember our first game, which felt like three weeks ago. The...

Coastal Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Ridge Whitfield (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot, 158 pounds with an athletic build that should allow him to maintain his mobility and quick-twitch actions as he continues to develop. He bats and throws left-handed. Whitfield locates his fastball to both sides of the plate, mixes his pitches effectively, and keeps hitters off balance. He competes on every pitch and doesn’t back down in big situations. Whitfield threw 5.1 innings, allowing three hits, one earned run, and no walks while striking out three on 75 pitches (58% strikes). He attacked the zone with a fastball that sat 73 mph and topped out at 78 mph, mixing in a 67 mph breaking ball and a 68-70 mph changeup to keep hitters off balance. Sam Jobe (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, with a lean, athletic frame and plenty of projection. He bats and throws right-handed. Jobe shows good feel for the...

14u BCS Scout Note Recap

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Jake Karpell (2030, Holmdel, NJ) got on the barrel a couple times in game five and totaled three rbis. Started his production with a single then later on hammered a heater down the right field and flew around the bases for a three run inside the park home run. Keeps the hands inside at contact really well and got the head around on the homer. Runs well and can hit it around the yard in the approach.  Luke Sauer (2030 C, FL)  put his hit tool on display with a well-struck double, continuing to show why he is regarded as one of the top catchers in the class. Owns a big frame with present physicality and does a good job keeping the hands connected throughout the swing. The barrel works efficiently through the zone and there is a solid offensive foundation present. Currently ranked as the No. 66 catcher nationally.  Gavin Politz (2030 OF, FL) continued a strong tournament...

15u World Series Scout Notes: Days 1-3

Connor Ashley (‘29, FL) has struck out six over six no hit innings thus far. Got the FB up to 87 w/ feel for a sharp two-plane slider. #PGWS @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/M7mEmTH8pk — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 12, 2026 Connor Ashley (’29, Minneola, FL) was stellar on Sunday, striking out seven in a seven inning no hitter. He operates from a medium-to-large right-handed frame with length, room to fill, and lower half strength. Ashley works exclusively from the stretch, starting at the belt before working into a higher compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a long arm action. He releases from a high three-quarters slot, with the fastball jumping from the hand up to 87. Ashley mixed in a sharp 11-5 breaking ball with depth and late bite, a true swing-and-miss offering.  Matthew Hernandez (’29, Miami Lakes, FL) has posted strong numbers on both...

Coppy's Corner: July 14 Summer Edition

John Coppolella
Article Image
The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it.    Player of the Week: Carter White – Falmouth Commodores  Talk about making a great first impression! White introduced himself in a very loud and boisterous way this past week by going 9-17 (.529 AVG) with 6 RBI...
