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.

-John McAdams


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.
 

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, 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. 

-Jheremy Brown


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, 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.

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...

March 10 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Lorenzo Carrier, OF, Pitt  The Pitt Panthers (12-2) are off to one of the best starts in recent program history and their offense has performed as one of the best in the country.  For the season, they are averaging almost 12-runs per game and on their recent trip to the West Coast, Lorenzo Carrier went on the kind of hot streak that is hard to comprehend.  The 6-5/215 senior from Bear, DE was a one-man wrecking crew in their 4-wins last week, starting with the fact that he reached base safely in 17 of his 19 trips to the plate.  He collected 13 hits in 14 official at-bats, scoring 10 runs, with 4 walks, 2 triples, 4 home runs and he drove in an insane 19-runs.  Carrier has refined his approach, simplified his bat path and is creating massive power that has him putting up career numbers.  For the season, he is...

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year.
