Sean Duncan, LHP, Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Previous Rank: 117 | Current Rank: 39

Sean Duncan came out in Jupiter and put together a truly masterful outing, going 3.0 innings strong with 7 punchouts to his credit. He showed the fastball up to 95 mph, holding the low- to mid-90s, with good ride at the top of the zone, and feel to locate it in the lower half as well. He also has a devilish sweeper in the low- to mid-80s, with spin in the 2,700s and the ability to land it at will. He’ll turn over the occasional upper-80s changeup as well. It was an impressive show of dominance from the left-handed pitcher, who made some noise and saw himself climb up the rankings into the Top 50.



Jace Mataczynski, SS, Hudson, Wisc.
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 79

Mataczynski made serious noise this year on the circuit, and his fall performance wrapped things up in a big way. He finished the year hitting .523/.632/.909 with 5 doubles, 3 triples, and 2 home runs to his credit. He plated 19 runs and managed 13 walks to 12 strikeouts over 44 at-bats. Mataczynski flashed the tools loudly, both at shortstop and at the plate. It’s a really accurate barrel from the right side, and the Auburn commit has a knack for being on-time and on-the-barrel to do damage offensively. It’s no shock that he went from being ranked Top 500 into the Top 100 of this class with his performance this year on the circuit. 

Ryan Stedman, RHP, West Des Moines, Iowa
Previous Rank: 251 | Current Rank: 179

Stedman is another Midwest name from the circuit who has shown us plenty of years, but kicked it into another gear for his fall performances in New Lenox and Jupiter. Stedman garnered a nearly 75-spot jump and moved inside the Top 200 while also taking over the No. 1 spot in the state of Iowa for the 2026 class. Stedman was up to 95 mph in Jupiter and held the low- to mid-90s on the fastball during his fall outings at the Heartland Champions Cup and WWBA World Championship. He flashed the heater with riding life and a low-80s slider and upper-70s hammer of a curveball to attack hitters with. Between his two fall events, he totaled 4.0 innings, allowing 2 hits, walking 4, and striking out 7 opposing hitters along the way. It’s loud stuff and was truly impressive in the fall showings for the Iowa commit, more than justifying his move up the rankings.

Jayden Parker, SS, San Diego, Calif.
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 245

Parker, a California-native, spent some time this fall on the Midwest circuit with the 5-Star/Cubs Scout Team group and was truly dominant alongside a couple of other California natives on the team. Parker hit well and showed off his abilities in the batter’s box. It was a good year for Parker, who hit .354/.426/.521 with a half-dozen extra-base hits and 14 RBI to his credit. It’s a loud right-handed swing that can produce good results. He has hitterish actions, working at-bats well and finding ways on base, whether it’s a hard-hit ball pull-side, or a good piece of hitting-- shooting one the other way. Parker showed the tools in the box and at shortstop this year, especially in the fall, helping the Hoosiers commit move up over 250 spots in the latest update. 

Dylan Fairchild, SS, Wixom, Mich.
Previous Rank: 427 | Current Rank: 195

Fairchild swung it well this year on the circuit, showing good feel for the barrel and an ability to impact the baseball. It was a good showing at the WWBA World Championship in 2025, tallying a handful of hits, with a double, a triple, and a home run with 5 RBI to his credit. He hit .520/.606/.880 with a half dozen extra-base hits and 10 RBI on the year in all of his PG events. He’s a Cincinnati commit who got it done offensively and has become a “buzzy” name on the circuit, especially with a good performance in Jupiter. The right-handed bat has a functional swing that allows him to get it done, and his performance helped him move up inside of the Top 200.

-Tyler Kotila


Noah Wilson, OF, McCallie School (TN)
Previous Rank: 30 | Current Rank: 10

Wilson performed at all stops this summer/fall, earning a jump into the Top-10. The Vanderbilt commit started his summer by earning an All-Tournament team selection at the 17u WWBA National Championship and followed it with a strong performance at PG National. After a stop at the All-American Classic, Wilson capped off the year with a stellar showing down in Jupiter. A feel to hit and impressive power turned heads, posting a 1.455 OPS and earning another All-Tournament selection. The loud offensive skill set and consistent production make Wilson one of the premier prospects in the class. 

Blake Bowen, OF, JSerra Catholic HS (CA)
Previous Rank: 23 | Current Rank: 15

Bowen posted monster numbers throughout the 2025 circuit, earning a jump into the Top-15. The Oregon State commit slashed .400/.500/.564 across 22 games with 12 SB and impressive impact off the barrel. Bowen is a physical right-handed hitting slugger that brings an array of skills to the plate. The upside is obvious and the performance this year was amongst the best in the class. 
 

Trevor Condon, OF, Etowah HS (GA)
Previous Rank: 57 | Current Rank: 27

Condon jumped 30 spots after posting a .423/.573/.712 slashline in 75 plate appearances with 10 extra-base hits and twice the amount of walks to strikeouts this summer/fall. The Tennessee commit shows an incredible feel to hit. There is advanced bat to ball skills with the ability to spray hard contact to all fields. The power continues to grow, making for a lethal offensive skill set. Condon just continues to get better and looks to be in line to continue to rise up the rankings. 

Judah Ota, OF, Iolani HS (HI)
Previous Rank: 94 | Current Rank: 64

Ota is another player that jumped 30 spots, all the way up to 64th overall in the class. The top-ranked player out of Hawaii features a physical 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame with loads of projection. The left-handed hitting Ota has massive power potential that already shows up in-game, posting a 1.187 OPS over the summer and fall. A loud showing in Jupiter stood out as Ota posted an OPS near 1.300, including a monster 417 foot homerun. 
 

Will Yow, SS, St. Anne’s-Belfield HS (VA)
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 81

Yow shot into the Top-100 in the latest update, jumping an astounding 419 spot. The Virginia commit is an uber-athletic shortstop with multiple plus tools on the card. Yow has a monster showing in Jupiter, going 6-for-13 with a bomb. Although the sample was smaller than most, Yow posted remarkable numbers with a 1.550 OPS, three home runs and just one strikeout over 22 plate appearances. The mix of tools and athleticism will make Yow a significant draft follow this spring. 

-Tyler Henninger

Landon Brown, RHP, Iowa Colony HS (Texas)
Previous Ranking: 263 | New Ranking: 137

Brown made a massive jump after his loud fall showing. The right-hander committed to Mississippi State has been up to 97 mph and topped 96 mph in Jupiter with three promising pitches in a bending slider and running changeup. Brown has massive arm strength with some heavy life to his heater and has garnered a good amount of eyes in the process. 

Colin White, LHP, Harrison HS (Ga.) 
Previous Ranking: 264 | New Ranking: 38

Another huge jump by a prep arm as White made a statement this entire fall at PG events. The Florida commit has been 93-95 mph and topping 96 mph from a higher tough release and 6-foot-4 frame. His breaking ball is a banger, a low-80s hammer with depth and finish that plays. White checks all sorts of boxes and his immediate jump is warranted. 

Asher DeLue, LHP, The Hun HS (N.J.) 
Previous Ranking: 500 | New Ranking: 365

DeLue opened eyes in Jupiter and can flat out pitch from the left side. The Boston College commit was up to 92 mph with a full mix, including a quality changeup and a good breaking ball from an angled release. He’s real projectable and moves well with a ton of starter traits to build upon. 

Blake Krushinski, RHP, Fox Chapel Area HS (Pa.)
Previous Ranking: 490 | New Ranking: 200

Kushinski is another major standout after a huge fall. The West Virginia commit came out 93-95 mph with a good 82-84 mph slider with some real good arm speed. He stood out in a major way in Jupiter and put together a stellar outing with big eyes in attendance. 

Ethan Offing, SS, Dutch Fork HS (S.C.)
Previous Ranking: 330 | New Ranking: 186

Offing showed well this entire fall, a versatile twitchy athlete with budding tools on both sides. The Clemson commit lived on the barrel in Jupiter, including a no-doubt homer and flashing the leather at multiple spots. He strung together multiple 98-plus exit velocities and has serious juice. 

-Isaiah Burrows


Will Adams, OF/LHP, Hoover HS (Ala.)  
Previous Ranking:185  | New Ranking: 122 

 The LSU commit hit in a big way at all the summer stops to earn his 2026 rankings bump. It's a clean left-handed hack that continues to trend positively in terms of in game power. Elite feel to barrel present and has drawn comps to multi-time all-star, Michael Brantley, for his polished offensive approach. Adams is also a talented left-handed pitcher that will command the low 90’s fastball, changeup and sharp breaking ball. Last outing in Hoover during the fall, he was dominant with a real weapon left on left.  

Sean Dunlap, C/OF, Crown Point HS (Ind.) 
Previous Ranking: 85 | New ranking:41   

One of my favorite looks of the 2025 Area Code games, Dunlap just continued to shine through the end of the summer and really put a bow on it in Jupiter for the WWBA Worlds. Athletic tooled up mold that has a real chance to stick behind the dish. It’s an advanced swing that gets to sharp impacts. Chance for plus tools across the board.  
 

Winston Pennant, OF, Sumner HS (FL) 
Previous Ranking: 240 | New ranking: 120  

The Ole Miss commit is quickly climbing the rankings after a strong showing at the WWBA Worlds. The performance included a clutch pull side homer and 107 EV triple that split the alley in a flash. Big juice present with a strong lower half and heavy hands at impact. Sound mover for the size and a prototypical right-hand corner bat. 

Colin Driffill, RHP, Millard North HS (NE) 
Previous Ranking: 354 | New ranking: 199  

One of the more impressive things I’ve seen this entire cycle was Driffill throwing mid 90’s pellets in relief in about 40-degree weather in Arizona back in January. Scouts in attendance that night saw this major jump coming. Its a big physical mold with lively heater and quality secondaries to go along with it. Continues to trend towards being a power arm at the next level. 

Will Brick, C/IF, Christian Brothers HS (TN) 
Previous Ranking: 3 (2027 class) | New ranking: 5  

First time I’ve put a “2026” designation next to Brick’s name and admittedly it feels a bit strange. That being said, this reclassification makes a bunch of sense. Brick has nothing left to prove to anyone at the prep level. While this isn’t a prototypical rankings riser, it’s a player jumping ahead a grad year and debuting at #5 on the Top 500, impressive is an understatement. The freshly minted Mississippi State commit is the best high school defensive catching prospect I’ve had the chance to evaluate with a surplus of offensive tools to go right along with it. You are not going to watch a more joyful player on any field than Brick, and if you watch long enough, you’ll come to the realization he is generally the best player on the field as well.

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.

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

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...

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...

The uncommitted right-hander ran it up to 91 and sat 88-90 with a full starter’s mix. All three of the secondaries played well and project moving forward. The curveball worked in the mid-70s with good depth and healthy shape. The slider operated in the 79-82 range with gyro spin and short break. McGeady rounded out the repertoire with a changeup that showed big fade and depth, proving effective versus lefties. He ended the outing going five ⅔ innings, allowing no earned runs on four hits, striking out six total. The tall and long 6-foot-5,...

2027 Mock Draft: Way Too Early Ediition

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
With the 2026 MLB Draft officially complete, let's quickly turn our eyes to the 2027 group and do a way too early mock draft. Leading the way is shortstop Brendan Lawson out of the University of Florida, setting the trend as three of the top four names all call shortstop home with Dylan Seward and Carter Hadnot. If shortstops aren't your thing for any which reason, maybe hard throwing left-handers tickle your fancy whether it be prep Connor Salerno, Tomas Valincius from Mississippi State or Dylan Volantis, a dominant arm from the University of Texas.  Pick Team Name Pos.
