WWBA Sophomore Prospect Recap

The WWBA Sophomore concluded a couple weeks back and we have you fully covered with prospects broken down into three sections. The Next Wave looks at the names who are already "famous" in the class and continue to build upon their resumes while Breakout Stars fully utilized the opportunity given to them to make a name for themselves. The 2029 subsection is pretty self explanatory as these freshmen were able to blend right into the action and more than hold their own. 

The Next Wave 

Austin Maiden (’28, CA) landed himself on the All-Tournament Team via a strong performance at the plate. Maiden produced a 1.187 OPS over 21 ABs, doubling three times while driving in four. He worked with a quick and compact barrel in the box. An athletic middle infielder, Maiden ranks within the top 50 for his class, putting an advanced skillset on display in Ft. Myers.  

Anthony Huaranga (’28, NJ) was on base eight times during the event, driving in six while accounting for three runs. Huaranga utilizes a big and physical left-handed frame, featuring present athleticism and strength. He starts even at the base before working into a simple hovering leg load, firing through a compact barrel that did real damage to multiple fields. Huaranga displayed strong plate discipline, drawing walks while being selective at the dish.  



Dylan Cunningham (’28, MA) worked 3.2 strong innings of work in the semifinals, striking out seven while allowing just a hit. The Massachusetts native works from a medium frame with present strength, showcasing an advanced two-pitch mix. Cunningham got his run/ride fastball up to 92 with command to both sides of the plate, mixing in a deep 11-5 curveball with two-plane bite. 

Valentin Ceballos (’28, TX) made an impact on the mound, delivering five no-hit innings while striking out 12 and failing to allow a run. The Texas product works from a medium right-handed frame with some projection remaining, utilizing a high leg lift before firing down the mound via a high three-quarters slot. Ceballos ran his fastball up to 89 with jump from the hand and riding life, mixing in a two-plane breaking ball with feel to land.  

Tanner Conley (’28, LA) had a strong event on both sides of the ball, striking out 12 over a total of 5.2 innings of work on the hill while producing a .375 OBP at the dish. Conley works from a projectable left-handed frame, using a compact and high leg lift, firing down the mound via a short arm action and a higher three-quarters slot. The Louisiana native worked with a two-pitch mix, starting with the fastball that reached 86 with jump. Conley mixed in a two-plane slider with sharp bite and command of both offerings.  

-Ryan Miller 


‘28 Logan Arnett (Acworth, GA) would post an OPS of 1.778 for this event, clubbing three XBH (one of each) with six walks to go along with that total. He is beginning to tap into his offensive upside, utilizing a simple swing with natural leverage that lends itself well to future power production. He is currently ranked #152 in the country, but that could see a bump if he continues to hit like this and sticks behind the dish long-term. 

‘28 Ivan Andino (Monroe, NC) has hit at every stop along the way this year, and it was no different here at Sophomore Worlds. Posting a casual 1.328 OPS over a good sample, he would also carry that over into the big boy Jupiter by putting up a 1.124 OPS in the same sample. He taps into impact easily with a loose, adjustable right-handed swing that can cover the zone and get the ball in the air to pull often. The power upside is real here, and there is a good blend of feel to hit in the profile as well. All he has done is hit... it’s a safe bet to think he will continue to do so. 

‘28 Gabriel Coupet (Boynton Beach, FL) would hit 8-14 on the week with more walks than strikeouts, four XBH and seven RBI on the week. There’s tons of physical projection here moving forward, standing at a wiry 5’11/160 with a high waist and long levers. He is athletic and twitchy, producing quality bat speed with loose wrists. It’s easy to project what the profile could be, and he also has a chance to stick up the middle on the defensive end of the spectrum. Plenty of traits here with a promising outlook.  


‘28 Blake Huston (Oxford, CT) would hit .500 on the week, collecting two doubles and a pair of RBI while swiping three bags in the process. Currently ranked 80th in the country, he has big physical projection at a broad shouldered, lean 6’4/195. That naturally lends itself well to power down the line, as he is already impacting the baseball well and can get it in the air to his pull-side with frequency. As the bat to ball skills continue to trend up, this profile will become even more interesting... big name up north with substantial projection. 
 
-Michael Albee 

Joel Vargas (2028 OF/MIF, San Diego, Cal.) put together an impressive showing at the plate, collecting seven hits while scoring ten runs and driving in seven. The 5-foot-10 righty hitter rotates his hips with a ton of intent, turning hard to the point of contact as he generates elite bat speed through the zone. He has plus speed and athleticism for his age, making him a very versatile player on both sides of the ball.  


Grant Arnold (2028 C/OF, Merritt Island, Fla.) was on the barrel all weekend in Fort Myers, hitting .692 with 14 runs scored and 13 batted in. He tripled once and homered twice, showing off his effortless power and bat speed at the plate. The 6-foot-3 left-handed hitter reached base 84% of the time, drawing 11 walks over the course of eight games. He also made a brief appearance on the mound, showing off his arm strength as he ran his fastball up to 90 mph. To no surprise, Arnold took home MVP honors in the process of leading his team to a championship victory. 
 
Robert Mascia (2028 C/3B, Commack, N.Y.) hit .500 through eight games down in Fort Myers, scoring 13 runs on four extra-base hits. He drew seven walks, bolstering his on-base percentage to .667 over the course of the weekend. The 5-foot-9 right-handed batter showed off a smooth operation with easy strength and leverage in the stroke. The baseball jumps off the barrel hard and often, resulting in low line drives to the middle of the field. Mascia proved to be a reliable bat both when it comes to setting the table or driving runs in. His abilities behind the dish have been just as impressive as his bat as of late, making him a very well-rounded and intriguing prospect in the class. 

-Anthony Gambardella 

Keelan Zumwalt (2028, Lees Summit, Mo.) is a top ten ranked player in the class and he got to show off his sweet left-handed swing in Fort Myers. He’s a loose, projectable athlete with a gorgeous swing and already checks so many boxes. He can also run it up to 90 mph on the bump and looked like he added good physicality before the fall. 

Bryan Mesa (2028, Hialeah, Fla.) is another top 20 ranked player in the class and was a big piece in the middle of the Canes lineup. At 6-foot-2, 178-pounds, Mesa is a broad shouldered, ultra projectable right-handed hitter with huge power upside. There’s already juice in the bat but this could be top of the scales power when it’s all said and done.

Connor Crittenden (2028, Philadelphia, Penn.) has immense physicality at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds, and showed some of the best bat speed and impact potential on the weekend. It’s explosive in the right-handed batter’s box and this is an underrated athlete too, one that has a lot of offensive tools to fall in love with. 

Grayson Broadway (2028, Sherrils Ford, N.C.) is the picture of a projection left-hander who ran the fastball up to 87 mph and sat mid-80s while holding velocity. It’s three pitches for strikes, and whiffs, highlights by a very good upper-70s changeup. Broadway has a low slot and garnered plenty of fastball miss but the indicators and starter potential here are very good.

Isaias Torres (2028, Oviedo, Fla.) is continuing to establish himself as one of the premier two-way talents in the class and his showing at the sophomore was no different. He hit close to .500 with 8 walks to 0 strikeouts and delivered a great pitching performance in the playoffs, holding right around 90 mph for five innings. There are traits on both sides of the ball to love. 

Nolan Slaymaker (2028, Fort White, Fla.) is another two-way player on the Canes that delivered perhaps the defining inning of bracket play. He came in blowing 94 mph bullets with the bases loaded and no outs, only to strike out the next three and help his team advance. Oh and he’s also 6-foot-2, 230-pounds with huge juice and hit over .400 on the tournament.
 
-Vinnie Cervino

Breakout Stars 

Cooper Selph (’28, NC) opened some eyes at the plate while landing himself on the All-Tournament Team, collecting eight hits including a triple and a homer to drive in four. Selph possesses present strength in a medium right-handed frame, impacting the ball to multiple fields, especially to pull. He starts with an even base and low hands before moving into a simple and direct leg load, displaying barrel speed through the zone. 

Ty Madden (’28, NJ) earned All-Tournament Team honors thanks to a strong performance with the bat, collecting eight hits including a pair of doubles, while walking an impressive ten times and driving in five. Madden works from a medium left-handed frame with athleticism, starting slightly wide at the base with low hands. He works into a simple and direct leg load before firing through a barrel that did line drive damage to multiple fields. Madden was extremely selective in the box, working deep at bats and getting on base at a high clip. 

Siale Tulua (’28, CA) put together a strong weekend at the plate, finding himself on the All-Tournament Team via a 1.367 OPS, including a double and three stolen bases. A switch-hitting infielder, Tulua utilizes a big and projectable frame with some present strength, especially in the lower half. He starts slightly wide in the box with high hands, working into a simple leg load before firing through an accurate and compact barrel that did damage to multiple fields.  

Evan Moorhead (’28, CA) showcased a strong two-pitch mix in a limited sample, striking out four over 1.2 innings of relief, failing to allow a run while giving up just a hit. Moorhead works from a medium right-handed frame, starting below the belt before working into a shorter leg lift, working down the mound via a long arm action. The California native worked a lively fastball up to 87, working well at the top of the zone. Moorhead mixed in a two-plane breaking ball with late horizontal bite to keep hitters off balance.  

-Ryan Miller 


‘28 Alec Cabrera (Wellington, FL), All-tournament team batting selection with a 1.276 OPS, four XBH and six RBI on the week for Cabrera, a performance more than good enough to land him on this list. The bat speed and barrel whip are in a bit of different category here than a lot of his ‘28 grad peers, and the power upside here from a future corner position feels very real. It’s a well-built, athletic frame that is only going to hold more muscle without issues. Really easy to love the offensive upside here, and this is a name to pencil in for when the ‘28 class recruitment opens.  
 
‘28 Noa Das (Boca Raton, FL), easy to buy into the velocity potential here, as Das has a thin and high waisted current 6-foot frame that could easily sprout a couple more inches in just a year’s time. He has a good pitcher’s body with a loose and clean arm action that really works well. Das is currently in the mid 80’s but creeps into the upper band at times, producing backspin and carry to the heater while flashing some feel to spin a mid 70’s hook with depth. He has 48 strikeouts in 29 innings this year while limiting his walks well for a young arm. Good name to follow. 


‘28 Myles Auxt (Baton Rouge, LA), a switch-hitting middle infielder that came into the event unranked, he would hit .625 with 8 RBI’s and a pair of walks. It was a fruitful week for Auxt, who showed off a functional stroke from both sides of the plate paired with bat to ball and ability to drive liners all over the yard. Paired with his ability to stick on the dirt with good hands, you can have a nice overall profile to project on and recruit as we move into the next phase of his prep career. Overall, Auxt had a really productive summer on the circuit (1.047 OPS, 12:6 BB/K ratio) and will look to carry that into the high school season.  
 
-Michael Albee 


James Fenton (2028 RHP/1B, Metuchen, N.J.) turned in a dominant performance on the mound down in Fort Myers, tossing a complete game with 11 strikeouts and the only run being unearned. Just two hits were rendered with no walks as the 6-foot-4 right-hander filled up the strike zone at an incredible 78% clip. His fastball lived in the upper-80s with great life through the zone, showing up in all four quadrants. He showed feel for spinning his slider and fading a changeup down in the zone to keep hitters off balance. Fenton certainly knows how to pitch, and has a lot more in the tank once he tacks on additional strength. 
 
Duncan Carver (2028 RHP/1B, Fairview, N.C.) was on the opposing side of Fenton in what was a classic pitcher’s duel. The 6-foot-3 right-hander tossed a complete game of his own, racking up 13 strikeouts with zero walks or earned runs. He filled up the strike zone at an impressive 77% clip, locating his fastball effectively from east to west. The heater sat in the mid-80s for the duration of his outing with an 88 showing up early on. Carver knows how to spin and locate his slider which read spin up to 2500 rpm. He was also comfortable landing his sinking changeup against lefty bats. The 2028 prospect has really dominated this year’s circuit, posting a 1.53 ERA with 43 punchouts through 36.2 innings at PG events. 

Evan Goodmon (2028 OF/3B, Winter Garden, Fla.) continued what has been a special 2025 offensive campaign with another loud weekend at the plate. He hit .500 with a pair of doubles and home runs. The 6-foot-3 right-handed hitter drove in nine runs through five games, and scored eight of his own. He has an intriguing blend of hit and power in his offensive profile with excellent consistency to the middle of the field. Goodmon can adjust to spin while maintaining his strength and leverage through impact. The 2028 outfielder is slugging .779 with 29 runs batted in at PG events this year. 

-Anthony Gambardella 

Braylon Disla (2028, Wimauma, Fla.) showed solid switch-hit ability at the top of the Ostingers lineup and hit over .400 on the weekend. There’s good feel from both sides of the plate and his offensive track record this year was outstanding: .419/.500/.558 with more walks than strikeouts. Disla made a couple of athletic plays at shortstop too and that’s a polished hit tool for a glove that can play short.

Colton Small (2028, Concord, N.C.) is a 6-foot-7 southpaw who is a super efficient and athletic mover for someone of his size and age. The velocity is only in the low-80s right now but there’s real feel to spin a breaking ball and enormous physical upside. Players his size that can move like Small does tend to pop in a pretty significant way as they mature. 

Cole Tucholski (2028, Quakertown, Penn.) is a solid two-way prospect who is into the mid-80s on the mound with three pitches and plenty of projection. There’s crossfire deception with a good changeup and there’s upside in the left-handed swing too as Tucholski was seen during both the sophomore and underclass events. 

Ryan Gaines (2028, Haymarket, Va.) only made an abbreviated outing but the stuff was super intriguing. A high-waisted, 6-foot-4 and 175-pounds, Gaines is mostly arms and legs at this point and is a very athletic mover on the mound. The overhand curveball has good 12/6 shape while the fastball was in the upper-80s. 

Landon Whittington (2028, Huntersville, N.C.) showed super intriguing power including a clutch, go-ahead playoff bomb at Terry Park. The swing is very mechanically sound and he already can create leverage, separation, and execute in order to produce the power. 

James Bacher (2028, Haymarket, Va.) was crushing baseballs all weekend for Stars baseball and finished hitting .467 with a bomb. It’s a short, compact stroke and he’s not afraid to take his singles either. The hit tool shined all weekend for Bacher.

Jerome-Alejandro (JA) Stephens (2028, Baltimore, Md.) is a good runner and was all over the barrel during both the sophomore and underclass. There’s good bat-to-ball skills with real twitch and athleticism to the profile. The swing is compact and geared toward contact but there is good bat speed too. 

Blake Hafner (2028, Tampa, Fla.) has a long, projectable frame with a swing geared towards loft and impact. He hit .500 on the weekend and did not record a strikeout and the power is going to continue to tick upward as he develops and matures. 

-Vinnie Cervino

Top 2029 Talent 

Samuel Nemeth (’29, PA) opened eyes while being as dominant as it gets on the mound, tossing a seven inning no hitter while striking out 12 and failing to allow a run. A medium framed southpaw with room to fill, Nemeth starts with a high hand set out of the stretch, working into a high and compact leg lift. He fires down the mound via a long reach back arm action and high three-quarters slot. The Pennsylvania product ran his fastball up to 79 with command of all quadrants, mixing in a deep 1-7 curveball with feel to land.  

Garrett Harper (’29, FL) displayed a deep bag of tools on both sides of the ball, collecting four hits including a pair of doubles while striking out five on the mound. Harper collected a pair of RBIs, working from a slightly spread base with an upright stance and high hands. The Florida native gets to a quick and compact barrel via a simple inward leg load. Harper worked his fastball up to 88 while mixing in a sharp horizontal slider in the mid-70s.  

-Ryan Miller

‘29 Tripp Morris (Madison, AL) would tally three innings of work on the bump over the course of this tournament, throwing it well for his Northeast Pride club. He got the fastball up to 85-mph, showing a clean and repeatable motion with a full arm stroke that gets up on time. The 6’3/165 frame will hold plenty of size as he continues to grow and fill in, indicative of future velocity gains down the line. Good look for a freshly fifteen-year-old prospect in a tough environment. 

-Michael Albee 

Antonio Marino (2029 OF/C, North Fort Myers, Fla.) put together a very impressive offensive showing down in Fort Myers, finishing the event with a .500 average to go along with 5 RBI and a couple of extra-base hits in four games. The 5-foot-8 utilizes a loose and athletic operation in the box with good rhythm to his load. He looks to impact the baseball out front and to the pull-side, where he creates frequent carry to the middle of the field. The 2029 outfielder Marino has a lot of intriguing tools in his profile, making him a prospect to keep eyes on moving forward. 

- Anthony Gambardella  

DeAndre' Williams (2029, Middleburg, Fla.) put together a strong weekend, hitting .300 and showing off the tools along the way. There’s plenty of young bat speed for the still fourteen year old who showed the makings of solid speed and defensive ability in center. The tools are plenty to like given his youth and projection and Williams firmly placed himself on scouting radars following his performance.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

February 24 Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Will Gasparino, OF, UCLA After playing 117 games, launching 27 doubles and 25 home runs in Austin, TX for the University of Texas, Will Gasparino decided it was time to head back to his hometown of Los Angeles, CA. Based on his performance in the first two weeks of the season for the Bruins, he looks very comfortable and ready to push his name up the Draft Board. UCLA (6-1) enters 2026 with incredibly high expectations, jumped to No. 3 in our Top 25 poll with their 3-game sweep of previously ranked TCU and Gasparino provided much of the offensive firepower. For the week, the 6-6/220 outfielder went 7 for 13 good for a .538 BA, with a double, 5 home runs and 13 RBI. That brings his slash line through 7-games to .391/1.304/.548 with a double, a triple, 6 home runs and he has driven in a total of 15 runs. The scary thing is that Gasparino is just...

PG Salutes Chet Brewer, a Youth Baseball Pillar A few weeks ago, Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball foundation held a fundraising event in Los Angeles. The “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction brought in thousands of dollars, all of which will go toward providing deserving youngsters an opportunity to play and grow in the game. Chet Brewer was not at the event – the former Negro Leagues star died at age 83 in 1990 – but his spirit was. Big time. “That night was all about Chet,” PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert said. “He was all about giving kids chances to play the game, especially kids from underprivileged backgrounds. “When you’re 15, 16, 17 years old – those years are the basis of your life. Chet helped put a lot of kids on the right path through the game of baseball.” Brewer’s impactful life has...

College Player Report Database In Week 1, the Top 15 teams in the poll remained unchanged but the college baseball landscape had a different narrative in mind for Week 2. With plenty of upsets and teams at the top establishing their dominance, there was quite a bit of upheaval across the country. While there were some special performances on the mound, runs continue to be scored in bunches and high drama extra-inning games seem to be the norm. There is no time to relax or take the foot off the gas in the college game today; we are in for another wild season it appears. The LSU Tigers (8-0) made the trip across the panhandle to Jacksonville, FL, swept through the Live Like Lou Jax Classic by outscoring their opponents 33-11 and remain No. 1 this week. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-0) secure their spot at No. 2 and are off to a program record breaking run scoring spree, averaging...

The takeaway: the pitch itself isn't what’s dangerous. Decades of awful and ineffective coaching cues, ”snap your wrist," "turn the doorknob”…exacerbated and even in many causes caused some of the problems. Teach it correctly, when the athlete is ready, and it's no riskier than a fastball.  In Part 2, we examined pitch counts. The takeaway: they're a useful tool, but a limited one.

Pacific Northwest All Region & Top Tools

NORTHWEST REGION (WA, OR, ID, WY, AK, MT, HI)    The biggest change in the Northwest Region for 2026 is the addition of Hawaii, which has always been overlooked due to being lumped with California in the former Pacific Region.  This also coincides with an increased Perfect Game presence in the islands in the form of additional events and scouting.  And Hawaii certainly contributed in it’s first year, placing four players on the All-Region team, including slugging 2026 outfielder Judah Ota.

Then vs. Now: '26 Class Look Back

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
One constant across our scouting staff is the volume of in-person looks we get at prospects during their high school years. With assignments at national tournaments and showcases throughout the calendar, we’ve built a deep library of reports and video on many of today’s top college prospects dating back to their prep days. This week, we took a step back to revisit what those players looked like as high school prospects. Which tools stood out? What was missing from the profile at the time? And what, if anything, did we overlook that ultimately helped shape the player they’ve become? Below, we break down 10 players in a “Then and Now” reflection. Justin Lebron (23 FL) finishes off the tournament getting in on the hit parade with a single to the pullside. #PGShowdown #Bama commit pic.twitter.com/C4Irym2ZTR — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) March 4, 2023...
