Class of 2027 National Rankings


Nico Moritz-Toledo, OF, Battlefield HS (VA)
Previous Rank: 35 | Current Rank: 21



Moritz-Toledo jumped 14 spots following a huge fall and year of 2025 overall. The Virginia Tech commit batted a ridiculous .579 across 38 at-bats down in Florida at the WWBA World Championship tournaments. The outfielder is a 6.32 runner and clocked a 3.5 home to first on a bunt in Fort Myers. The speed is game changing, always a threat on the paths. He is a constant threat on the basepaths, swiping 10 bags and coming around to score 17 times over the two fall tournaments. Moritz-Toledo has great bat-to-ball skills and possesses an impressive hit tool, batting. 500 across 72 total at-bats in 2025. His game is fun to watch and he has a classic top of the order skillset.

RJ Shields, OF/RHP, Venice HS (FL)
Previous Rank: 189 | Current Rank: 97

Shields made a significant leap to enter the top 100 and showed a true power mix this fall. The Mississippi State commit impressed with the bat at Junior National this summer, crushing a loud pull side homer, but he has really emerged on the bump. The physical right-hander saw a huge velocity increase, peaking in the upper-80s over the summer before coming out touching 95 in two fall outings. The breaking ball is sharp and projects well, proving to miss bats. Shields struck out 13 over six â…” innings and surrendered just one hit. The arm is fast and the strike-throwing ability improved in tandem with the stuff over the year.


Soren Etheridge, RHP, Phoenix Country Day School (AZ)
Previous Rank: 264 | Current Rank: 98

Etheridge made significant strides over the past year and jumped 166 spots to enter the top-100. Sitting in the mid-80s in 2024, the fastball velocity saw a huge uptick in 2025, ending the year in the 91-94 range. The heater is a true swing-and-miss pitch, coming from a low launch with riding action that plays at the top. The feel to spin also stands out, featuring a big curveball that plays well off the fastball. Etheridge pitches with a ton of confidence and is a great athlete, as evidenced by the 6.74 60 he ran in the summer. The 6-foot-3 right-hander really impressed with a pair of dazzling starts at the WWBA World Championships. The recent Wake Forest commit was nearly unhittable over nine â…“ innings across the two tournaments, allowing only one run on just three hits and striking out 18. The stuff is bat-missing, drawing 16 swings-and-misses over 72 pitches in his Jupiter start. 

Gavin McMillan. RHP, Monte Vista HS (CA)
Previous Rank: 164 | Current Rank: 102

McMillan jumped 62 spots following a very strong 2025. The towering 6-foot-10 right-hander capped the season with an impressive Jupiter outing, tossing three innings with no earned runs, punching out six and walking none. The stuff made steady improvements from outing to outing throughout the year and he is very well-coordinated for his long frame. He proved to be a strike-thrower and walked only two over 11 â…“ innings. McMillan sat 89-92 in his final start and featured a solid low-80s slider. He is young for the class with great ingredients and there is still obvious projection moving forward.

Juan Diaz | SS, IMG Academy (FL)
Previous Rank: 155 | Current Rank: 112

Diaz checks a lot of boxes and has a strong track record of hitting, batting .486 (34 hits) over 24 games on the year. The shortstop is tooled up and is a great athlete, running a 6.55 60 at Junior National. The speed showed up on the paths with 10 stolen bases and an inside-the-parker in Jupiter. A switch-hitter, the bat speed stands out with a barrel that stays in the zone for a long time from the left side. The swing is short and direct with quick hands from the right side, swinging it well in game from both sides.

-Kyler Peterson


William Weber | C | Fairview, TN
Previous Rank: 154 | New Rank: 52

After posting a .466 BA with four HRs and 47 RBI in 2024, no one expected Weber to come out and top his previous year’s numbers, but the 6-foot-4, 225 pound Virginia commit did just that. Finishing 2025 with a .477 BA including another four bombs and a BB:K ratio of 23:5, the Fairview native was an absolute force in the middle of the order for eXposure National all Summer. The physicality and evident strength translates throughout his game with clear ability to hit for both high AVG and power, finding success against the top talent in the country time and time again. Now sitting at the #52 spot nationally, don’t be surprised if Weber makes another jump after the High School season.

Braylon Jones | 3B/1B | Austin, TX
Previous Rank: 459 | New Rank: 181

Jones was a standout performer at Underclass last month, putting on a performance that has become the norm as the athletic 6-foot, 190 pound prospect finishes up his 2025 sitting at a .458 BA with a pair of HRs. With some of the better bat speed out there, Jones showcases the effortless ability to impact the baseball to all fields and rarely goes down on strikes, punching out just once this year in 75 PA. The Austin native now jumps into the Top 200 in the Class with a big 2026 campaign expected ahead.

Trent Lutz | RHP | Telford, PA
Previous Rank: 500 | New Rank: 193

Lutz has been a major Northeast story since his appearance in Jupiter, and he now gets a well deserved bump into the Top 200. The 6-foot-4, 175 pound prospect has some of the more intriguing projection in the entire country and is already consistently low 90s, topping out at 94 mph with easy life out of the hand. The Penn State commit is certainly one of the more fun watches in the region, and is now firmly in the national conversation heading into 2026.


Ethan Suppi | LHP | Vineland, NJ
Previous Rank: 500 | New Rank: 249

Recently back on the market, Suppi is going to be in high demand after a more than strong 2025 where he posted a 2.44 ERA in 28.2 IP racking up 56 Ks. One of the more unique looks from the left side, Suppi excels at hiding the ball with plenty of whip to the action from a low ¾ to borderline side arm slot. There’s plenty of natural movement to be found here and the general consensus from hitters is that the 5-foot-11, 165 pound prospect is a more than uncomfortable AB with the FB up into the 87-91 mph range. Suppi slots into the Top 250 nationally with a big Spring ahead.
 
Shea Corona | SS/RHP | Brooklyn, NY
Previous Rank: 498 | New Rank: 324

Corona has built a strong reputation as an exciting two-way prospect, finishing up 2025 hitting .281 with both contact/power tools flashed while also running it up to 90 on the mound. There’s plenty of athleticism and natural ability to be found here from the Brooklyn kid with projectable tools on both sides of the field. He impacts the baseball with authority to the pull side/middle of the field and can provide value to a lineup in multiple ways, now into the Top 325 nationally and continuing to climb.

-AJ Denny


Kinon Bastian, OF, The First Academy (FL)
Previous Rank: 7 | New Rank: 4

Bastian was one of the standout performers of the summer and continued that into a monster fall for FTB Phillies. The meteoric rise of Bastian all started in San Diego at the PG All-Star Game where he hit a ball off the top deck of the Western Metal Supply Company building, he then followed that up hitting .615 with two homers at the Underclass World Championship and hit everything on the screws in Jupiter too. It’s a great blend of tools and the bat speed is simply outlandish. This was one that flew up last update and continues to go even higher. 


Connor Salerno, LHP, Sun Valley HS (NC)
Previous Rank: 10 | New Rank: 5

Salerno is far from a name that just popped up on our radar, being one of the top arms in the class for quite some time at this point but the stock has continued to rise even higher after the fall. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound left-hander is now ranked inside the top-5 in the class after dominant performances throughout the year and the velocity continuing to rise, sitting in the mid-90s in Jupiter. He’s extremely polished and is as consistent of a pitcher as you’ll come across.

Joshua Priest, OF, Cathedral Catholic (CA)
Previous Rank: 67 | New Rank: 19

Priest has been ranked highly for quite some time but the game continues to take strides and was on full display throughout the fall Florida swing. Everything kicked off in Fort Myers where he hit .500 with three doubles, a triple, and a homer across six games and then he backed that up hitting .400 playing up in Jupiter as well. He’s an absolute gamer with top end tools and simply always plays with his hair on fire. This is one of the more fun watches in the class and continues to put up strong numbers in PG events. 


Charlie Sarsfield, OF, Linn-Mar HS (IA)
Previous Rank: 317 | New Rank: 64

Sarsfield strung together one of the more ridiculous performances of the year, hitting .556 with four extra base hits in Fort Myers at the WWBA Underclass World Championship. It’s a polished left-handed hit tool with ability to control the zone (14:1 BB:K ratio in Fort Myers) with plenty of strength coming in the near future that’s already starting to flash. He’s a good athlete with a chance to stick in center long term but the bat has a chance to be special, hence the rise well into the T100 in a strong ’27 crop.

Jake Cueto, OF, Belen Jesuit Prep (FL)
Previous Rank: 376 | New Rank: 99

Cueto takes a major jump in the rankings after some huge performances this fall in Florida. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound outfielder was on the barrel throughout the Underclass Worlds, collecting seven hits across six games and then hit a ridiculous .700 in Jupiter with seven more hits. It’s a fast bat with serious bat-to-ball skills and showed the ability to really control the strike zone. He can absolutely fly as well and impacts the game in a multitude of ways.

Griffin Boesen, 1B, Tampa Jesuit (FL)
Previous Rank: 331 | New Rank: 101

Boesen was another big winner in the fall at both the Underclass Worlds and Jupiter, simply hitting everything over that two-week period. He kicked it off hitting .429 in Fort Myers with a pair of extra-base hits and nine RBI and then followed that up hitting .700 (!!) with fourteen hits playing an age up. It’s a physical left-handed bat with immense power projection and noticeable present feel to hit. He takes a massive jump in this update and the stock should continue rising in the near future.

Kyle Rogosienski, SS, Muskego HS (WI)
Previous Rank: 411 | New Rank: 124

Rogosienski not only takes over the top spot in Wisconsin in this update, he also rises inside the top-125 in the country after some intriguing things shown throughout the fall. He performed extremely well at multiple PG events throughout the fall and capped it with a solid showing in Jupiter. It’s a great profile all-around with premium barrel skills from the left side and plenty of arm to stick up the middle long term. He’s a consistent performer with big tools and checks a lot of boxes as a top young shortstop prospect in the ’27 group.

Hector Cadena 3B, United HS (TX)
Previous Rank: 500 | New Rank: 128

Cadena was one of the biggest risers of the update, jumping over 370 spots into the top-130 in the class after some strong looks this fall. He had everything clicking at the WWBA Qualifier event in Tomball, hitting .571 with four doubles and a homer, showing off top-end bat speed and strength that he can tap into regularly. There are loud physical tools here and he continues to solidify himself as one of the top power hitting corner infielders in the country.

Brodie Wilson, RHP, Faith Academy (AL)
Previous Rank: 401 | New Rank: 143

Wilson was one of the standout underclass arms that threw in Jupiter and came out showing loud arm speed. He worked in the 92-94 range from a lean, wiry frame that projects in a monster way moving forward. He showed confidence going to a slider that he could land as well. There’s a lot of reasons to be excited about long term here and is already showing premium stuff.

Simon Brutskiy, RHP, Apex HS (NC)
Previous Rank: 500 | New Rank: 273

Brutskiy has multiple quality outings in Fort Myers at the Underclass Worlds and then followed that up with another strong look in Jupiter the following week. The fastball has good life out of the hand and works in the low-90s comfortably. The breaking ball is a true weapon in the upper-70s with spins north of 3300 RPM. He jumps a sizable amount in this update and could be a name we see move even higher before he’s done in the HS ranks.

Alex Odud, C, Cherokee HS (NJ)
Previous Rank: 500 | New Rank: 258

Odud was one of the big winners from an event earlier in the fall season, at the Fall PGWS at East Cobb. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound catcher was on the barrel a good amount, collecting five hits over four games including one double and one triple. There’s noticeable bat speed here with plenty of strength that plays to all fields. He can really catch-and-throw too and projects to stick behind the plate. He was a huge mover in this update for good reason and will be a fun one to follow over the next year.

-Cam McElwaney


Broder Katke, C, Brother Rice HS (Mich.)
Previous Ranking: 82 | New Ranking: 38

The two-time Select Festival Player has taken his game to the next level with increased strength on both sides of the ball. The Vanderbilt commit controls the barrel through the zone with strength out front and big pull side strength. Down in Jupiter, Katke displayed pocket awareness and lower-half agility from multiple stances behind the plate. He also showed big arm strength and with some adjustments to the footwork he will shut down running games at the next level.


Koa Romero, 3B, Hahnville HS (La.)
Previous Ranking: 200 | New Ranking: 75

The LSU commit did nothing this year but just mash baseballs everywhere he went. The 5-foot-10, 215-pound left-handed hitter got to his power early and often throughout the year with 10 homeruns in 82 at-bats. Romero carried his power stroke into Jupiter with a pair of homeruns including a 112-mph missile to right field that barely got higher than the fence to finish off his outstanding year. 

Maceo White, SS, Maynard H. Jackson HS (Ga.)
Previous Ranking: 283 | New Ranking: 169

The 6-foot-2, 165-pound shortstop has been one of the biggest risers in the state of Georgia during the ’25 PG circuit. The right-handed hitter consistently found the barrel and stepped up his game at the major PG events. White was named to the All-Tournament Team at the PG 16U WWBA National Championship, Most Valuable Player at the PG 17U Southeast Champions Cup and hit .364 with a pair of runs batted in down in Jupiter as an underclassman. With his long projectable frame to add size and his 6.45 speed, the uncommitted White should be drawing plenty of interest from Power-4 schools at the next level.

Daniel Biondo, C, Denmark HS (Ga.)
Previous Ranking: 247 | New Ranking: 159

Biondo is another Georgia prep star that is only breaking the surface on his potential as a young Junior at only 16 and 3 months old. The 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitter raked at every stop this year and finished with a .410-4-32 stat line over 31 games. The uncommitted backstop capped off his ’25 campaign with an All-Tournament Team selection at the PG WWBA Underclass World Championship. Biondo just continues to improve in all facets of his game and with his young age there is plenty more physical maturing to take place.

Mason Woods, LHP, St. George’s HS (Tenn.)
Previous Ranking: 500 | New Ranking: 290

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound left-handed pitcher has made a big jump during the ’25 PG circuit. In just a year’s time, he has seen his velocity jump from 83 mph in 2024 and culminating at 90 mph down in Jupiter for FTB National 2026. Woods punched out seven over five innings and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 2025 PG WWBA World Championship. The University of Kentucky commit displayed a three-pitch mix and the ability to turn a lineup over with a starter profile. The high ¾ slot left-hander that works downhill is primed for another jump as he adds to his projectable lean frame and ability to work the ball around the zone.

Gaven French, SS/RHP, Heritage HS (Tenn.)
Previous Ranking: 336 | New Ranking: 203

One of the top two-way players in the Tennessee class, French continued to find the barrel with a .385 batting average and 1.081 on-base plus slugging percentage. The right-handed hitter saw an uptick in the power numbers as he added size to his present 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher took a big step in his development running the fastball up to 92 mph with a wipeout slider at the PG WWBA World Championship. The University of Tennessee commit was named to All- Tournament Teams at both the PG WWBA World Championship and the PG WWBA Underclass World Championship.

Chase Austin, OF, Beaverton HS (Ore.)
Previous Ranking: 600 | New Ranking: 170

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound left-handed hitter was a relative unknown on the PG circuit before this season. The Oregon State commit had only attended one event back in 2023 and then burst on to the scene at the 2025 17U PG Fall World Series in Atlanta, Georgia. The primary outfielder homered in three straight games including the championship game to lead USA Prime 17U Red to the title. He finished with a 1.322 on-base slugging percentage while featuring a quick bat and easy juice out front. Pretty certain it won’t be the last time we hear from Austin as a rankings riser.

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 64

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
What Do Barry Zito, Justin Verlander, Trevor Bauer, and Dallas Keuchel All Have in Common? By Ron Wolforth | Texas Baseball Ranch® | PG Arm Care Take a second and think about the question posed in the title before you read on. Four Cy Young Award winners. Four of the most decorated pitchers of their generation. What's the common thread? The first answer is obvious… they all won the most prestigious individual award in pitching. Most of you probably got there immediately. The second answer is less obvious… they all trained at the Texas Baseball Ranch® at some point in their development. Interesting, maybe, but not the point of this article. The third answer is the one I really want you to sit with, because it has direct relevance to your career right now: they all move completely differently. And they all attack hitters completely differently. Don't rush past that....

After a week of dominant performances, timely hitting, and resilient play, EBC 17U-Griggs capped off its run through the 2026 Perfect Game Hoover Invitational with a championship victory Monday, securing the program’s first tournament title of the summer. Despite a lengthy rain delay, EBC never lost focus, relying on contributions throughout the lineup and another strong pitching performance to secure the win. “This being our first [win] of the summer, we have an amazing group right here,” head coach Rodd Griggs said. “Some of the guys I’ve had for years, some of the guys just joined us this summer, but it’s an amazing group.” EBC’s championship performance reflected the depth that carried the club throughout the tournament.

AZ Summer Kickoff Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
JJ Utash (‘27, AZ) tripled to both gaps, collecting 3 RBI along the way. Big time strength. Balls jumps off the barrel to all fields. Good runner/athlete too. #HookEm commit #AZKickoff pic.twitter.com/h1SbsSxpMy — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) May 30, 2026 JJ Utash (2027, Gilbert, Ariz.) is the top-ranked player in the state and showed off why over the weekend. The Texas commit collected five hits, including a pair of doubles and a pair of triples. The mix of power and speed is impressive. The ball jumps off the barrel with ease to all fields. Utash consistently lifts balls with authority, resulting in loud in-game power. The speed on the bases stands out as well. Utash looks to be aggressive and can take extra bags when they present themselves. The tools are some of the loudest in the class and will draw considerable draft interest next July.  Soren...

Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Auburn commit Brennan Neal (2027, Columbus, Ga.) had a good showing on Sunday on the mound, putting the clean, athletic delivery on display in an inning of work. Neal worked in the 90-93 range with the fastball with plenty of life, and showed some run to it when working to the arm side. Neal also worked in a tight slider in the upper 70s, but also showed confidence in a fading changeup in the mid 80s. Neal also has room to add strength to his lanky frame, which could be big for him to continue to add velocity. South Florida commit Taylor Casson (2026, Atlanta, Ga.) had an impressive showing on the hill with the stuff and results, going 5 innings of no-hit baseball with 10 strikeouts. The fastball worked in the 89-92 range with downhill angle and tail, and was in the zone often. He worked a 3-pitch mix, showing some impressive swing and miss stuff...

WWBA Scout Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Raylen Hunter (‘30 TX) stays living on the barrel; this one burning the CFer for a double. Just an electric ballplayer. #WWBASouth https://t.co/1LThRBqN80 pic.twitter.com/z5RF5dy47o — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) May 30, 2026 Raylen Hunter (2030, Cypress, Texas) took home MVP honors for the tournament and helped lead his team to a big championship win. Was a big standout on a loaded Banditos team that steamrolled their way to the championship. He ended the week going 10-16 with a pair of doubles while scoring ten runs atop the lineup. Hunter is a true spark plug who makes consistently hard contact line to line. The swing is short and works to all fields with plenty of twitch and bat speed. Bat to ball plays at an extremely high level as he rarely gets cheated never taking an at-bat off. Once on base, Hunter causes havoc on the base-paths, a...

Tyler Russo
Article Image
With another few weeks in the book of the high school season, we’ve already had state champions crowned with playoffs happening in some northern states. There have been some upsets so there has been a good amount of movement in the National High School Top-50. We have a new number-one this update with Tomball (TX) taking over the top spot and will be playing for a state championship this week. They sport a 42-1 record heading into the title game and have been one of the best teams from start to finish this year.

EC Astros Win Back-And-Forth Thriller

Will Dembo
Article Image
In a highly anticipated matchup between two of the nation’s top 17u teams, the East Cobb Astros defeated eXposure National 9-8 in a thrilling extra-inning battle to claim the PG Southeast Elite Championship. The Astros completed the weekend undefeated, opening their summer season with a hard-fought, statement victory. “I mean, it's fun, it's been a grind today,” said Astros Head Coach, Josh Burress. “Been out here a long day, but our guys are competitors, they come out compete, they want to compete and win, so it's just fun to watch them come out here and not quitting playing to the end... so the guys did very well today, and they competed all the way through.” eXposure began the opening frame by taking the early lead on an error but quickly gave their lead away as the Astros came out of the gates hot, plating six runs in just the first inning.
