Most Likely To Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026


Wade Cozart (2028, Carlsbad, NM) is a sneaky two-way player that has flown under the radar for now, but looks poised to make a significant jump next year. At the plate, the left-handed hitting Cozart possesses a fluid stroke with sneaky power. He posted an OPS over 1.400 in a smaller sample this summer. While there are some tools on the offensive side, Cozart's highest potential is likely on the mound. The righthander was up to 90 mph in PG events this year already with feel for a slider and changeup shown. He pounds the zone and consistently misses bats. -Tyler Henninger

Will Gnirk (2027, Scottsdale, AZ) had his moments this past summer and fall at the WWBA West, PG World Series and the Fall State Championship. He totaled 9.2 innings in those three outings where he had a 2.25 ERA and thirteen strikeouts. The velo has started to trend in the right direction where he sits in the mid 80s and creeps into the upper 80s. He pairs the fastball with a swing and miss breaking ball that is sharp with big shape and shows above avg. RPMs. Then it’s also about his size and projection where he currently stands at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds with a balanced, easy and loose operation. Wouldn’t shock me at all if we are talking about him as a T15 Arizona player and as an arm that enters more of the national conversation. - JC



Most Likely To Hit .500 at PG Events in 2026
This may be taking the easy way out, but Macgraw VanWormer (2029, Prescott, AZ) is the easy choice. The No. 1 player in the 2029 class, VanWormer possesses a loud offensive skillset. This year, VanWormer hit an absurd .497. The sample size was not small either as he played in 68 games with 151 total at-bats. The profile has a chance to be really special and the hit tool is among the best in the country. -TH 
 

Easton Morgan (2027, Peoria, AZ). Probably would’ve been safer to go with a ‘28 or ‘29 here but I’m riding with Easton Morgan because of how much I’m in on the swing, bat-to-ball skill, swing decisions and just his speed. He slashed .488/.589/.837 in ‘25 with an absurd 10BB/1K in ‘25. His left-handed swing is one of my favorites in the region and the right-handed swing continues to improve. Then there’s his ability to turn infield ground balls into knocks as he gets out the box extremely fast and is above avg. runner. Will also bet on him seeing a rankings jump as I’m expecting a breakout first HS season at Desert Mountain. - JC

Most Likely To Make a Velo Jump into the Mid-90s in 2026
Cooper LeRoy (2028, Gilbert, AZ) has been ranked among the top arms in the state because of his ability to overwhelm hitters. His fastball has worked its way into the low-90’s throughout this summer and is poised to make the jump into the mid-90’s next year. LeRoy possesses a strong 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame that still has room to add, giving him some velocity projection to tap into. It would not be shocking if the young arm is sitting in the mid-90's next year. -TH 
 

Charlie Borchard (2027, Phoenix, AZ). Our scouting staff has gotten plenty of looks at Borchard whether it was during the spring season at Brophy or throughout the tournament circuit. In terms of recent outings, he made relief appearances at the 17u and 18u Fall National Championships where he ran it up to 93 at both events. It’d be tough to believe he’s done with his velo climb as he still stands a uber-projectable 6-foot-4, 175 pounds that still has plenty of room to add some strength. It’s also a relatively low-effort, athletic and repeatable delivery down the mound. The Stanford commit is also a likely candidate to see a rankings jump in ‘26. - JC

Most Likely to Back Up a Breakout in 2025
 

Pratt Morley (2027, Spanish Fork, UT) did not throw in a PG event in 2024, but was stellar throughout the 2025 campaign. The righthander posted a minuscule 0.96 ERA with a near 60% whiff rate and the fastball velocity jumped up to 93 mph. The ingredients are there for Morley to become one of the better arms in the entire region, as he builds of an outstanding 2025 season. -TH 
 

Jace Harrell (2027, Chandler, AZ). I’m continuing to buy Jace Harrell Stock in 2026. Came into this year as a lighter follow but was a standout for our staff during the spring HS season at Chandler and then backed it up with standout tournament performances at 16U WWBA National Championships and WWBA Underclass Worlds Championships which led to a UCSB commitment. There’s a lot to like with the profile as he’s a switch hitting shortstop with a wiry athletic 6-foot-2 build you can dream on. Then it’s some high level offensive skill showing strong swings from both sides and he stays within the strike zone. He slashed .435/.559/.870 in 11 PG games with 7BB/2K in 2025. - JC

Most Likely to Lead the Region in Home Runs in 2026
 

Colton Floyd (2027, Albuquerque, NM) is a physically imposing hitter when he steps in the box, at 6-foot-5, 230-pounds. He can consistently generate loud all-fields contact with the ability to go deep at any moment. Floyd posted a slugging percentage over .600 in PG events this past year and approached .800 mark during his high school season last spring. It would not be a shock to anyone if the Texas A&M commit led the region in long balls next year. -TH 
 

Jake Turner (2027, Las Vegas, NV). This is a pretty safe choice here as there are simply not many hitters in the country that get off swings with as much damage intent as Jake. The 6-foot-3, 200 pound left handed bat creates a ton of separation into launch maximizing stretch where he then unleashes the barrel with easy plus bat speed on an uphill path which translates to some very loud EVs and very long HRs. If he gets to a decent amount of our tourneys next year, I’m confident he’ll turn in a bunch of long balls. - JC

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 61

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4

Article Image
MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin.  Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts.  Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes.  Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76.  No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel.  Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm.  Playing up a few classes, you might...
