Brighton Fontaine, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: St. John's

Fontaine made his pact to the Johnnies and Coach Hampton, as the durable right-hander adds another to the staff that should be able to garner innings immediately upon reaching campus. He runs it into the low-90s with downhill plane and heaviness through the zone, as he generates plenty of misses when in the zone. He pairs it with a two-plane slider and heavy faded changeup to complete his repertoire. The durability, physicality scream innings eater should the command take a step forward.

Brent Walulak, INF, Class of 2027
Commitment: Marist

Walulak makes four commits for the Red Foxes and Coach Ratchford, bringing a level athleticism to the group that should make an impact once on campus. The left-handed hitting infielder can handle all three infield spots effectively albeit is probably better suited for second long-term. Offensively, he has a enticing combination of barrel skills and sneaky juice that should fit into the lineup in a multitude of spots. Continued physical maturity should allow for even more impact potential to come.

Luke Winbush, 3B, Class of 2027
Commitment: Troy

Hitter’s hit and that is exactly what Winbush does at a high level. Recently committed to Troy, the primary infielder has all the ability in the box to hit for average at the next level with an all-fields spray chart. The swing is quiet and compact from the right side, and all he has done in the last few years at Perfect Game events is hit. In ‘25, he would hit .487 over 78 AB’s. The results are clear as day, and Troy did a phenomenal job nabbing him for their ‘27 class.

‘26 C/1B Demitri Watts (GA) hits this one hard into the gap & cruises into second for a double. Functional swing w/ knack for finding the barrel. @PG_Uncommitted. #WWBA @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/FKZjeEPhgz

Demitri Watts, C, Class of 2026
Commitment: The Citadel

The Citadel grabbed a really athletic primary backstop from the peach state in Watts, who is primed for a big spring season with Hebron. He’s got the arm strength and catch/throw skills right now to stick behind the plate at the next level, along with the bend and athleticism. The right-handed swing is compact and without unneeded length, showing off some lean strength with a verified exit of 99-mph per Trackman at East Cobb over the summer on a double. As the bat to ball skills continue to trend up and he fills out, Watts’ profile becomes that much more interesting.

Marcus Ward stays locked in at the plate—launches a no-doubt shot with a 94 mph exit velo. Strong hands and big power showing up loud. #BeastOfTheEast @PG_Uncommitted https://t.co/gL8DtDdKBf pic.twitter.com/uYyCkpDcLJ

Marcus Ward, OF, Class of 2026
Commitment: Western Carolina

Western Carolina dipped into the Astros’ pool of talent again and grabbed Ward, a quick twitch outfielder with a whippy left-handed stroke and speed. Ward presents a really toolsy package for the Catamounts to develop, as he is easily a plus runner with a chance to play center and get on base at a good clip. Wiry strong with more to come, it’s really easy to see the value he can bring at the next level to a good program. Easy to envision a path where there are early contributions coming from Ward in Cullowhee.

-Michael Albee

Noah Everly, 3B, Class of 2026
Commitment: Seattle

Good get here for the Redhawks. Everly is one of the few SoCal guys who’s future position is still up in the air for me, and could be a two way guy in college. He shows an aggressive approach in the box looking to punish fastballs and mistakes early in the count with power to all fields. On the bump it’s a bit raw, but there is definite arm strength with the ability to run the heater to low 90s with a three pitch mix. Defensively, he can hold down the hot corner and he has the athleticism and arm to play in an outfield corner.

Charlie Fuller, RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Oklahoma State

It’s been a busy summer/fall for Fuller, not only committing to Oklahoma State, but changing high schools as well, heading to Mater Dei in the Trinity League. Fuller has shown big time upside on the bump with a lean/projectable 6’1” frame that moves very well and possessing a very quick arm. We like to see OSU pitching coach Blake Hawksworth tap in to his Southern California roots (coached at USD, UCI) for the righty who can run the fastball to 93. We can expect more velocity to come as Fuller fills out. Fuller has shown the ability to miss bats with the heater and the breaking ball and we’ll look to further development of the change up and command going in to his junior season. A lot of ingredients to like here.

Parker Leoff, SS, Class of 2027
Commitment: UCLA

Another recent commit, like Fuller, who not only committed to UCLA, but is changing high schools, heading to Sunset League powerhouse Huntington Beach. Leoff has an easy, rhythmic swing from the left side with a line drive stroke. We could see more development of power as the body continues to mature, as he already has some strength in the lower half. Similar to to the projected power being dictated by the development of the frame, the long term defensive home could be TBD as the body fills out more, could see him growing in to more of a third base prototype.

Jaxon Olmstead, C, Class of 2027
Commitment: San Diego

Sticking with the theme of players that switched high schools and picking up recent commits, the recent USD commit, Jaxon Olmstead, has also shifted to the Trinity League and Mater Dei for his junior year. Have seen Olmstead going back to his 8th grade year with the So Cal Giants, and he has been one of the better developmental stories over the past few years. The strength gains he’s made has been very impressive, to where he is now 6’2” and around 200 lbs and he’s made big gains on the field, both in the batters box and on the mound. He was always more of left handed hitting catcher for me as an underclassmen, but the work he’s put in has seen a big jump in velocity on the bump (up to 91 at WWBA, a 10 MPH jump compared to 2024). The strength gains have also helped him tap in to more power in the box, making him another interesting kid with two way potential.

Andrew Weber, RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Baylor

Have to give some love to my alma ater, the U’s baseball program seems to be on the rise with a strong 2027 class, with Andrew Weber recently picking up a commitment to Baylor. I got two looks at Weber prior to his commitment, a fall ball look with Upland, and he impressed at one of our showcases in Irvine as well. Weber is a physical kid at 6’4” with a deep, four pitch mix with two break balls showing plus raw spin. He lived comfortably at 88/89 with the fastball, running it up to 91 and flashed the occasional change. It’s a work horse frame built to eat innings. Nice to see the Scots program headed in a positive direction, with Weber being a big part of their future.

-Steve Fiorindo

Gabriel Norman, LHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Florida State

We didn't see Norman throw at all this past circuit season, but that doesn't mean FSU doesn't know about him and the upside he possesses. A long and strong, but still projectable 6-foot-4, 215-pound southpaw, Norman has long been on the national radar thanks to a heater that'll regularly run upwards of 90 mph, knowing it's only a matter of time before it climbs and comfortably sits in the low-90s. Being an athletic left-hander in state made this a no brainer grab for the Noles and he joins a class that is already highlighted by the No. 1 player in the country, Chase Fuller, and a teammate of Norman's during the 2023 14u Select Festival.

Ethan Armbruster, C/RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Mississippi State

The Bulldogs have been hot on the recruiting trail as of late, scooping up a handful of top 50 players in the recent months, and the two-way Armbruster is the latest haul for Coach Brian O'Connor and his staff. A Texas native who's currently at IMG Academy, Armbruster has shown tools on both sides of the ball to be an impact-type player thanks to his long 6-foot-4 frame and overall athleticism, which has allowed him to play all over the field to this point in time. His right-handed swing is packed with ample juice, a tool that shows up often in live action against quality arms. The arm strength is certainly there as well, having been into the upper-80s on the bump as an underclassman and the former Select Festivaler shows a keen aptitude for pitching, mixing and matching while hitting his spots.

Denton Lord, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Mississippi State

Big 6-foot-8 right-hander Denton Lord (Santa Rosa Beach, FL) shook up National Signing Day by flipping him commitment to Mississippi State from Florida. It’s a big win for Brian O’Connor and the Bulldogs coaching staff, who land a highly projectable righty with present stuff currently ranked as the 50th player in his class. The Florida native works from an extra long frame, starting above the face before working into a simple sidestep operation, utilizing a higher leg lift. Lord fires down the mound via a standard-length arm action and a higher three-quarters slot. He uses an advanced three pitch mix, starting with a riding four-seamer that has seen 97 with induced vertical break numbers threatening the 20-inch mark. Lord works in a sharp 10-4 breaking ball with late two-plane bite and feel to land. He rounds out the repertoire with a promising change-up that flashed fade and ability to kill spin. Lord will likely attract draft attention this spring along with SEC pedigree, making him a name to watch at the next level.

Nolan Brown, LHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Vanderbilt

Nashville-area southpaw Nolan Brown (Brentwood, TN) will join his father Scott at Vanderbilt, the current pitching coach for the Commodores. Brown works from a projectable 6-foot-4 frame with a high waist and room to fill. He utilizes a clean and repeatable operation from the left side, starting above the belt before working into a higher leg lift before flying down the mound thanks to a quick arm action and true three-quarters slot. Brown works his fastball into the high-80s with present cutting action and command of the zone. His bread and butter is a late fading change-up that he sells well and falls off the table. The Tennessee native mixes in a sweeping slider with horizontal bite. Brown will be a welcomed addition to an annually talented Vanderbilt class, whose 2027 grouping starts with nine top 200 recruits.

Graham Keen (27 PA) UNLOADS! 106EV and 407 for an absolute 💣! #ACGames pic.twitter.com/NBcWmFVty2
— Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) August 5, 2025

Graham Keen, IF/OF/RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Vanderbilt

Graham Keen (Pittsburgh, PA) is a dynamic two-way athlete hailing from the Pittsburgh area who pledged his commitment to Tim Corbin, Ty Blankmeyer, and the Commodores. Keen works from a well-proportioned 6-foot-4 frame with present strength and the tools to back it, generating exit velocities north of 100 mph. The Mt. Lebanon product starts slightly wide and open at the base with medium hands, working into a simple outward leg load pre-launch. Keen has appeared both at third base and in the outfield where his strong arm fits well, displayed on the mound where he sits in the low-to-mid 90s, mixing in a tight slider to keep hitters off balance.

-Ryan Miller

Jackson Wooten, SS, Class of 2027
Commitment: Kentucky

Wooten is one of the latest SEC commits from The Lone Star State, as the Wildcats landed one of the best pure twitch athletes in the class. He’s a plus athlete in every facet with bouncy actions and it plays on both sides. He projects up the middle at the next level with quick lateral range and his run times are a consistent high 4.1 from the right side. The contact and juice took immediate strides at premier events this year, as he calmed the swing a touch but kept that ability to stay inside and whip the barrel to pull with bat speed. The tools are pretty loud across the board and his offense has a ton to tap into as he progresses.

CJ Sampson, 3B/RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Texas A&M

Late commitment flip here as Sampson now stays in state and lands with the Aggies to fill out a very solid class coming in next year. Sampson has long been one of the more polished two-ways in the class. The hit tool is very pure, all-fields ability with zone recognition and there is flashes of real juice when he catches one out front. He’s a strong framed athlete who can handle a corner infield spot and has shown defensive growth at third in particular. Sampson on the hill is one of the better high school pitchers in the state, getting into the low-90s with four pitches and there’s a blend of shapes and feel to pitch. The arm is free and easy and has more left in the tank with how he repeats. The overall package is a quality baseball player with an immense work ethic that can impact a program like Texas A&M.

Ethan Rivers, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Rice

Another in-state commit that has an upward arrow as Rivers came on this fall and has a good floor on the bump. He works 87-90 and topped 91 mph with three pitches that include a harder short slider and bigger breaking ball. He gets over the front side well and drives off a firm lead leg, allowing him to land all three for strikes and repeat at a pretty solid level. He checks boxes as a college starter with his 6-foot-2 frame and ability to add and subtract with strikes. Name to get familiar with this spring.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 18

Perfect Game Staff

Brandon Shannon | Fr. | RHP | Louisville | Bourne Braves The freshman right-hander possesses arguably the most electric arm on the Cape, pairing a lean, projectable frame with plenty of room to continue adding strength. Shannon worked an effortless 96-98 mph throughout the outing with premium arm speed. His mid-80s slider generates plenty of swing-and-miss, while his 92-93 mph power changeup gives him a quality third offering to neutralize left-handed hitters. After flashing premium stuff during his freshman season at Louisville, Shannon has carried that arsenal into the summer and possesses the type of arm talent to develop into a Day 1 draft prospect as he continues refining his command and overall polish.

Perfect Game Staff

16u World Series Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Lucas Sullivan (2027, Winder, GA) absolutely shoved in the first round of the playoffs.

2026 MLB Draft: Roster Challenge

Tyler Henninger

With the 2026 MLB Draft complete, our own draft team put together a fun exercise. Using a snake style draft format, we each had to build a roster using players selected in the 2026 MLB Draft. There was one catch. Each team could select only one player from each of the first 10 rounds, plus one player from Rounds 11-20. You did not have to go in order of each round, meaning you could jump between rounds and pick which players you thought had the most value.
