WWBA Freshman Prospect Recap

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 | Days 4-5

Stars Being Stars 



2029 OF Macgraw VanWormer (Prescott, Ariz.) 

VanWormer got bumped up to being the top-ranked prospect in the country for this class after a great season where he was named player of the year at the 14U Select Fest, and he somehow seems to have gotten even better since. He hit .579 in WPB with over half of his hits going for extra bases, showing more power than before, as well as a mature feel to hit, making adjustments pitch to pitch and sometimes even mid-flight. He’s as dynamic as a player as you’ll at this age, showing high-level athleticism in the box, on the base paths and defensively. He plays with a high motor too, meaning he’ll stretch a single into a double, score on plays he isn’t supposed to and just find a way to impact the game in any facet. This is a special prospect putting it all on display. 

2029 OF Evan Thompson (Gilbert, Ariz.) 

Thompson is another that seems to just get better each time out as he swung it well on the event and is hitting for more power already. He’s a 6’2/180 left-hander hitter that screams power upside, and his ability to create leverage paired with the bat speed he already generates is clear that he’s going to hit a lot of balls out long-term, while he hit one of the further no-doubt home runs of the event on the second to last day. 

2029 C Daniel Diaz (Orlando, Fla.)  

Diaz is a pure hitter and he did just that in WPB, going 8-for-16 and slugging 5 doubles. It’s an athletic profile for someone who plays behind the dish as he can run a bit and it shows up in how he adjusts to things offensively. He’s not overly big, but he can still impact the ball a good bit, mostly from the quickness in his hands that he generates. His handle of the barrel stood out. 

2029 RHP Macade Carey (Nokomis, Fla.)  

Carey was quite simply as good as it gets when he got the ball: he shut out one of the best lineups in the event, going 5 and striking out 11 against just 2 hits and walked none. He sat upper-80s for the most part, beating guys with the fastball and using a good combo of curveball and changeup as well. He’s athletic with arm speed, has size and also showed some capability with the bat he hit over .300 and hit a home run way out to the pull side. 

-Tyler Russo 

Caleb Polk (2029, Dallas, Texas) 

Pick out any adjective you’d want for a young arm and odds are it’ll apply to Polk’s performance in West Palm as the young Texas native once again proved why he’s regarded as the top right-hander in the country for the ‘29 class. Polk toed the rubber for MLB Breakthrough in the Cacti Stadium under the lights and didn’t disappoint, working 5 innings of one hit baseball and was “dominant”, “electric” and “in control” throughout. The fastball peaked at 92 mph and he punched out 10, showcasing an upper-70s slider that also elicited its fair share of empty swings.  

William Miller (2029, Plantation, Fla.)  

Well, let’s start with the fact that Miller checks in at  6-foot-7 and is still 14 for another half of a year; a combination that doesn't always bode well for a pitcher when it comes to command. That, however, doesn’t apply in this case as Miller is an excellent athlete who also employs a simple set of mechanics, utilizing his length to power the baseball downhill while eliminating unnecessary movements coming down the slope.  The heater lived right around that 90 mph mark the whole outing as he punched out three while facing the minimum, mixing in a short breaker in the low-70s on occasion.  

Bryson Auten (2029, Flemington, N.J.) 

Listed as a primary third baseman, it’s hard not to lock in on what Auten brings to the mound as he was excellent in his start Friday evening for the East Coast Ghost National squad, going 6 innings of 2 hit ball. As if his 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame isn’t intimidating enough on the mound, the No. 95 prospect in country saw his heater grow stronger throughout his start, popping 90s on the radar gun into his fourth inning of work with a steep, downhill angle out of the hand to help rack up his 8 strikeouts.  

Earon Ramirez (2029, Pasadena, Texas) 

Ramirez is no stranger to Perfect Game events, and the young left-handed stick out of Texas continued to make his presence felt from the top of the ZT lineup. Over the course of 7 games the 5-foot-11, 150-pound Ramirez collected 8 hits, all singles, but once again showed his high-level bat-to-ball skills while scoring 11 runs (2 or more in 4 different games), proving himself to be the quintessential leadoff hitter. 

Blake Barberena (2029, La Mirada, Calif.) 

Barberena came to play and once again let his left-handed swing to a majority of the talking. A physical presence in the box, the young California native was all over the barrel throughout the event, ripping balls to the pull side with serious bat speed and ample intent. The bat-to-ball skills have long been on display with Barberena and his most recent showing in West Palm was no different as he finished with a slash of .462/.667/1.282 with 6 hits and 8 RBI while striking out just twice over a seven game stretch.  

786435, 770659, 997588, 768979 

-Jheremy Brown 

Easton O'Quinn (2029, Branford, Fla.) the No. 3 player in the nation continued to show how high his ceiling is in the batters box. The third baseman collected 10 hits in 16 at-bats and showed off the big-time power upside with five being for extra bases, three doubles, a triple, and a home run. Easy bat speed and juice in the 6-foot, 195-pound frame and showed the ability to drive in runs, plating 12 RBI and scoring 10 runs, continuing to live up to the billing as a middle-of-the-order hitter.  

Colton Windham (2029, Lakeside, Calif.) showed off the star-wattage all weekend on his way to leading SBA to the title and securing his MVP for the event. With a big 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame the left-handed hitter showed the power upside and barrel control collecting a double, two triples, and a home run during his eight hit effort and also showed off the feel for the strike zone and the ability to get on base with five walks, including a four walk game to secure the Championship victory. He also showed off the two-way upside, getting on the mound and running the fastball up to 86.  
 
Noah Jarolimek (2029, Simpsonville, S.C.) showed off the impressive two-way game all tournament. On the bump, the RHP showed off the upside in his 5.2 inning start, running the fastball up to 88 with some arm-side run and mixing in a tighter spinning slider with good 11-5 shape and bigger horizontal break when glove-side. Easy jump out of the hand and creates a ton of whip and arm speed in the delivery with more velocity in the tank. In the box, the shortstop also added seven hits, including two doubles, and an inside the park homer, to drive in nine RBI. Creates easy carry and jump off the barrel with more power as the frame matures.  

Owen Duncan (2029, Waxhaw, N.C.) also showed off the tools all tournament. The shortstop/right-handed pitcher collected seven hits, including two doubles and two triples, showing off the speed. Athletic with feel to create leverage and a ton of impact with good carry and jump off the barrel. On the mound he collected two strikeouts in three total innings while running the fastball up to 86. Paired it with an 11-5 shaped curveball with depth. 6-foot, 170-pound frame that is uber projectable with the athleticism to dream on going forward.  

-Marcus Thomas  

Chance Kidd (’29, TX) produced a .500 OBP on the event, including a triple while driving in a pair and accounting for as many runs. Kidd works from a strong and physical right-handed frame, showcasing impact potential to multiple fields. The Texas native starts with an even base while keeping the hands high, working into a short and direct leg load. Kidd fires through a barrel that flashed big pop to the pull side, maintaining the ability to go the other way with authority.  

Adam Kramer (’29, AL) put an advanced three-pitch mix and athleticism on the mound, striking out 14 over a total of 7.2 innings of work, failing to allow a run. Kramer possesses a medium southpaw frame, starting at the belt before working into a high and pronounced leg lift, firing down the mound via a high three-quarters slot. The Alabama left-hander ran a lively fastball up to 88 with jump from the hand and riding life. Kramer mixed in a two-plane sweeping slider with feel to land, flashing the ability to turn over a solid change-up.  

Anderson McAfee (’29, TN) put together a monster event at the plate, producing a 1.741 OPS thanks to ten hits while driving in as many runs. The physical backstop slugged a pair of homers while also picking up two doubles, playing strong defense behind the plate. McAfee starts slightly wide at the base, keeping the hands high before working into a simple and direct leg load. He then fires through a quick barrel that did damage to all fields, coming through in clutch situations consistently.  

Arturo Silva Jr. (’29, TX) was on base eight times over six games, including a double and a homer, while driving in a pair. Silva Jr. works from a big right-handed frame with room to fill pointing to strength projection. He starts super wide in the box with high and active hands, moving into a short and direct leg load pre-launch. Silva Jr. then fires through a quick barrel that did damage to multiple fields, including an opposite field home run. The Texas native also struck out six over 4.2 innings of work, getting his fastball up to 85.  

Luis Tolentino Gonzalez (’28, PR) collected five hits over 14 at-bats on the event, including a deep pull side homer that drove in a pair. Gonzalez possesses a medium right-handed frame with a good bit of strength present. The Puerto Rico native starts slightly spread at the base, keeping his hands high before working into a medium and direct inward leg load. Gonzalez showcased a quick and compact barrel, sending hard hit line drives to multiple fields. 

-Ryan Miller 
 
Breakout Performances 

Kayden Ragsdale (2029, Arlington, Va.) 

Ragsdale might be listed as a primary catcher, but his performance on the mound over the East Coast Ghost National club lands him a spot here. Up to 84 mph with his heater, Ragsdale consistently pepper the strike zone over the course of his 7 innings, a span in which he yielded three hits while striking out 7 to just one walk. There’s ride to the fastball up in the zone and sink when it’s down courtesy of the extension out front he’s able to create, but he also spins it well and shows comfort in repeating his operation.  

Chandler Parker (2029, Livingston, La.) 

Parker certainly looks the part out on the rubber at a long 6-foot-1, 155 pounds and he had the performance to back it up, showing an uptick in stuff from what we had previously seen. A primary shortstop, the athleticism is evident in his operation as he’s smooth and methodical, repeating his delivery while showing plenty of arm speed already. Over his four innings of work the fastball sat in the 83-85 mph rather comfortably, powering the baseball downhill to generate lots of weak contact while showing a feel to already spin the baseball with some authority into the low-70s with depth and late break. 

Jayriel Acevedo (2028, Camuy, P.R.) 

Here's everything you need to know about Acevedo's performance in West Palm. He threw 5.2 innings (17 outs) and did so while registering 15 of them via strikeout. Need we say more about his performance? The 6-foot southpaw definitely left Florida with a feather in his cap of registering one of the more dominant tournament performances we've seen, running his heater up to 83 mph while showing a full four pitch mix. In one outing he allowed just three hits, going hitless in his second time to the rubber and was able to show why he's one of the top arms in Puerto Rico in the 2028 class. 

-Jheremy Brown 
 
Chester Sabin (2030, Midland, Mich.) showed off the bat speed and athleticism all tournament for Team Elite National. The right-handed bat was consistently on the barrel and collected four hits, including a double and a homer, to drive in five RBI and came around to score two runs. Works uphill through contact with good strength for the age and barrel whip to impact and drive the ball. Good athleticism in the 6-foot, 175-pound frame and the power upside as the frame fills will be one to keep an eye on.  

Johnny Rouse (2028, Brooklyn, N.Y.) was a force at the top of the lineup all event and showed off the high ceiling. The left-handed bat uses a compact stroke with feel to leverage to create lift and impact. The shortstop showed off the power/speed upside collecting six hits, including a double and three triples, to drive in four RBI and came around to score six runs. Controls the barrel well with feel to work both gaps and as the 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame matures and fills out the homer power will follow. s 

 Brayden Greene (2029, Fayetteville, Tenn.) came in ranked No. 190 but after his effort on the mound, expect him to rise. The left-handed pitcher went a combined nine innings on the mound to rack up a total of 17 strikeouts to two hits, three walks and one earned run. Ran the fastball up to 85 and showed an outlier slider with 2700+ RPM spin. Full arsenal with a change-up that has arm-side dive and feel to pitch and get whiffs. Its a lean, projectable 5-foot-10, 162-pound frame with easy mechanics and more velocity with present feel for all three pitches.  

- Marcus Thomas 
 
Chase Hallett (’29, NJ) opened some eyes during tournament action, collecting five hits over eight at-bats, accounting for seven runs while driving in four. Hallett works from an athletic medium frame, appearing at shortstop defensively, showcasing lateral quickness and soft hands. He starts upright in the left-handed box, working into a short hovering leg lift before firing through a quick and compact barrel. Hallett did damage to both gaps with impact potential and quick twitch actions.  

Henry Kuenstler (’29, TX) appeared twice on the mound, totaling five innings of one-run ball, striking out eight and allowing just a pair of hits. The native Texan works from a medium frame with room to fill, starting above the belt before working into a short and direct leg lift, firing down the mound via a shorter arm action. Kuenstler got a run/ride fastball up to 87, mixing in a tight horizontal slider with late bite. He also flashed the ability to turn over a change-up.  

Rhys Torgerson (’29, SC) was impactful on both sides of the ball, including posting 4.2 innings of one run ball, striking out seven. He also collected three hits at the plate, including a pair of doubles to drive in three. Torgerson works from a medium right-handed frame, possessing strength in the lower half. He starts above the belt before working into a quick medium leg lift, firing down the mound via a short arm action and high three-quarters slot. Torgerson got his fastball up to 85, mixing in a two-plane breaking ball with late bite.  

-Ryan Miller  

2029 3B Jake Andres (Miami Lakes, Fla.)  

Andres came to the workout showcase before the event and put some real tools on display, then proceeded to hit over .400 with a home run and 9 RBIs, 7 of which came on the last day. He has good physicality and twitch, and the hands are fast offensively. He’s certainly a name that if he continues to hit like he did in WPB can make a name for himself in this class. 

2029 LHP Gavin Poteet (Braselton, Ga.)  

Poteet is a well-known name in this class being ranked where he is so he’s not exactly a breakout, but the strides he has made is something new. He’s now pitching in the 84-87 range and throwing more strikes, with the arm speed to see a continued jump in velocity sooner than later. It’s a good delivery, and the changeup feel is something of note too. 

2029 RHP/UT Brodie Taylor (West Monroe, La.)  

Taylor did a little bit of everything as he showed out on both sides of the ball, running his fastball up to 89 MPH on the mound and hitting a home run in the same game. He’s pretty big and obviously physical, showing explosive bat speed with the bat, while it’s a fast arm and feel for spinning a low-70s slider on the mound. He truly broke out on both sides of the ball. 

-Tyler Russo 

Younger But Talented 

Joshua Pierre (2030, Parkland, Fla.) showed off the bat-to-ball skills and high contact approach in the box all event. The left-handed hitter showed smooth hands with a flat bat plane. Showed the feel to use the whole field and some impact and drive into the gaps with speed out of the box and on base. Athletic, lean 5-foot-7, 115-pound frame that held his own playing up, collecting six hits, including a triple, to drive in five RBI and scored 10 runs. Simple approach in the box that was able to consistently get the barrel on the ball. The shortstop has the pedigree and present skillset to be a fun player to follow as the frame matures and fills out.  

Ramon Roa (2030, Grovenland, Fla.) showed off the physical 6-foot-1, 178-pound frame and the bat-to-ball for SBA Bolts National 2029. The right-handed hitter collected six hits to drive in five RBI and scored seven runs. Big bat speed with power upside as the frame matures and fills out. Gets extended well to create impact from a whippy barrel and a flat bat plane. Simple swing with good athleticism and direct hands that will continue to carry the swing as he ages.   

– Marcus Thomas  

Kingston George (’30, TX) put a strong skillset on display during Freshman Worlds, producing seven knows while driving in five, including a triple. George also stole four bags, displaying quick twitch athleticism in all parts of his game. The Texas outfielder starts slightly wide with lower hands, getting to a quick barrel via a higher hovering leg load. George did damage to multiple fields, possessing strength and quickness in his right-handed frame.  

Jhunior Jose Cordero (’30, FL) drove in three over five hits, including a double and a triple, while accounting for six runs. Cordero was on an additional two times via the walk, also swiping a bag. The Florida native works from a medium switch-hitting frame with strength present, starting even at the base with higher hands. Cordero then works into a subtle leg load before firing through a compact barrel that showcased quickness. He is also an athletic backstop, controlling the run game well.  

-Ryan Miller 

Everth Gabriel Quintana (2031, Boston, Mass.) 

Having just turned 13 a mere 3 months ago, Gabriel Quintana more than blended into the crowd at the WWBA Freshman, if not stood out, from a physicality standpoint as he's already listed at a very believable 6-foot-3, 170 pounds. He may not have filled up the stat sheet offensively but there are lots of components to his game that need to be monitored closely, from the pure bat speed and strength at the impact of contact, not to mention he's doing it while swinging wood. He also jumped on the mound and was up to 77 mph, striking out 3 over 5 innings on his way to earning All Tournament honors.

‘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...

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game.

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...
