Collegiate All-Americans & Postseason Awards

Player of the Year: Roch Cholowsky, UCLA

Rewind to 2023 when Cholowsky was finishing his incredible high school career in Chandler, Arizona, there was serious doubt he would make it to campus in Westwood. Considered one of the best shortstops in the nation, there was strong interest in the MLB Draft but as fate would have it, the Perfect Game All-American would go undrafted. He put together a solid freshman campaign earning Perfect Game Second Team Freshman All-American honors and setting the stage for his breakout season in 2025. With his club making their debut in Big 10 play, Cholowsky has put together an epic season and lead the Bruins back to the College World Series for the first time since 2013. The 6-2/200 sophomore anchors a defensive unit that is one of the Top 10 fielding teams in the nation and is the center piece of a deep and powerful lineup. Heading to Omaha, he is batting .367 with an impressive SLG% of .742 and an eyepopping OB% of .494 to date. Finding a different gear with his power production in ’25, Cholowsky has lashed 19 doubles and 23 home runs while driving in a team leading 72 runs. With his game coming together as it has and the projection remaining, he will be one of the favorites to be considered 1:1 in the 2026 MLB Draft and will be a major impact if the Bruins make a run at the National Title this week in Omaha.

Pitcher of the Year: Liam Doyle, Tennessee

After making a couple career stops at Coastal Carolina and Ole Miss before finding his home in Knoxville with the University of Tennessee, the explosive LHP from Derry, New Hampshire put it all together in 2025. One of the most intense and competitive pitchers you will ever see, the 6-2/220 junior put together the type of season that will see his name etched in the record books for years to come. Using arguably the best lefthanded fastball in the college game this year, Doyle generated an upper-90s heater with a nation leading 70% whiff rate. He backed that up with a devastating mid-80s slider, tight upper-80s cutter and the occasional contact deadening splitter. Add these offerings together and you understand why the ace was in the Top 25 in most pitching categories and currently leads the nation in strikeouts. Making a total of 19 appearances, 17 of which were starts, Doyle finished the season with a (10-4) record, also recording a save and with a sparkling 3.20 ERA while pitching in the toughest league in college baseball. Logging 95.2 inning pitched, he only surrendered 63 hits good for a paltry OBA of .184 and only issued 32 free passes. However, he is most famous for his ability to miss bats, finishing the year with 164 punchouts as he averaged 1.7 per inning. This gaudy strikeout total sets the Tennessee single season record and has gotten him on the list as one of three Dick Howser Trophy and Golden Spikes Award finalist. While the Vols fell short in their defense of their 2024 National Title, Doyle will hear his name called very early in the coming 2025 MLB Draft.



Two-Way Player of the Year: Evan Dempsey, Florida Gulf Coast

The physical demands of being a two-way player at a high-level are well documented but sophomore, Evan Dempsey did it better than anyone in the nation in 2025. The 6-2/200 lefthanded hitting outfielder/pitcher from Lithia, Florida was coming off an ASUN All-Freshman season to set the stage for his amazing second season. Handling the workload of hitting in the middle of the lineup and being in the rotation, Dempsey excelled on both sides of the ball. Making 15 appearances, 10 of them in the starting role, he finished the season with a (5-1) record and a miniscule 1.97 ERA. Over 68.2 IP, he only allowed 57 hits and put together a sparkling 75:20 strikeout-to-walk ratio. At the plate, he finished with a slash line of .309/.435/.393 legging out 18 doubles, a triple, while launching 3 home runs, collecting 30 RBI and lead the team with 14 stolen bases. The Eagles had an uncharacteristic down year in ’25 but with Dempsey leading the way they are sure to have a bounce back season in 2026.

Freshman Player of the Year: Sawyer Strosnider, TCU

In 2024, TCU struggled to the point of missing the NCAA Tournament and there was some speculation as to whether the youth of the 2025 roster would get the Horned Frogs back to where they belong. Those concerns were quickly alleviated and Strosnider, the freshman from Brock, Texas was a major reason this year’s club was a strong consideration to host the NCAA Tournament. Ultimately, they would see their season end as a 2-seed in Corvalis but the lefthanded stick of Strosnider stood out every step of the way. At 6-2/200 the outfielder has the physicality of a professional and the sweet swing that allows you to dream on him for years to come. He led the team in five major offensive categories including: batting .354, slashing 10 triples, collecting 50 RBI, slugging .646 and accumulated 137 total bases for the year. He also laced 12 doubles, 10 home runs and crossed home plate 51 times, making him the most prolific offensive freshman in the country. Scouts will be following his progress closely in the coming months and he is sure to be a 1st round talent as a draft eligible sophomore in next year’s MLB Draft.

Freshman Pitcher of the Year: Jack Ohman, Yale

Breaking into the starting rotation as a freshman at any point during the year is an amazing feat, but Ohman did so the second weekend of the year and never looked back. The 6-0/175 righthanded pitcher from Mesa, Arizona put together an amazing 2025 champaign and established himself not only as one of the best starting pitchers in the game but also a legitimate professional prospect. Armed with a fastball that sits in the 94-97 mph range, a devastating mid-80s slider and late fading changeup, Ohman went his first 6 appearances and 5 starts without allowing an earned run. Leading the nation in ERA for the entire year, he finished with a minuscule 1.34 ERA over 12 appearances and went (8-1) as his club won 9 of the 11 games he started throughout. With a high-level of pitch efficiency, Ohman logged 73.2 innings pitched, only allowing 45 hits for an OBA of .174 and put together an 87:20 strikeout-to-walk ratio. It is going to be fascinating to see how this talented arm follows up such a sparkling freshman campaign.

National Coach of the Year: Kevin Schnall, Coastal Carolina

The adage in college coaching is often said that “you never want to be the man that follows the MAN”. In other words, if you are the next head coach following in the footsteps of a coaching legend, it can often be an impossible task with unrealistic expectations. In 2024, longtime head coach Gary Gilmore retired from his 29-year stint in Conway where he won over 1,000 games and brought the athletic departments first ever National Championship. Following his departure, as expected, Kevin Schnall their longtime associate head coach was named the new head coach at his alma mater. To say the transition was seamless would be putting it lightly as the Chanticleers put together their best regular season in program history. They have won 53-games to date, which is a program record, went (26-4) in Sun Belt play as they won both the Regular Season and Conference Tournament titles. Their RPI currently sits at No. 3 in the country after rolling through the 7th hardest non-conference schedule in the nation and 54th hardest schedule overall. They hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament and swept all 3-games before going on the road to sweep the Auburn Super Regional and are now sitting on a 23-game winning streak heading to the College World Series. This team plays with a relaxed confidence, they have one of the best rotations in the nation and with their knack for timely hitting, we should expect Coastal to make another run at a National Title.

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

WWBA East Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air. Excellent athlete that will stick at a premium spot. #LaTech commit.#WWBAEast pic.twitter.com/xeintVTMil — PG Deep South (@PG_DeepSouth) June 12, 2026 Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) The Louisiana Tech commit just does not stop hitting. Left the yard to the pull side yesterday and followed it up with a 3-4 day with a...

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament. Ryan Johnson delivered 4.1 scoreless innings on the mound, allowing just two hits...
