MLB Draft Superlatives

Tyler Henninger
Isaiah Burrows
Tyler Kotila
Most likely college player to make a massive jump up the board?

Garrett Wright, C/OF, Tennessee

Wright joins the Volunteers after two really quality seasons with the BGSU Falcons in the MAC. Wright has slashed .390/.505/.619 with 28 doubles, three triples, and 14 homers over his 430 plate appearances during his freshman/sophomore year campaign. He’s currently ranked 144th on the Top 150 MLB Draft Prospects, but I’m betting on a big year from the backstop as he settles in for the Vols. Wright’s got the upside at the plate and has shown it in the past; a big move up the board would be a no-brainer if he can tap into that success he’s seen before at the SEC level. -Tyler Kotila




Ryder Helfrick, C, Arkansas 

Helrick current sits at No. 107 on our first rendition of the board, but I think he winds up a lot higher than that when it is all said and done. The Razorback backstop put together an impressive sophomore campaign last year. He slashed .305/.420/.616 with 15 home runs. Helfrick can generate loud contact often from the right side of the plate. There are tools on the defensive side as well, along with the leadership needed to guide a pitching staff. In a college class that is pretty thin behind the plate, Helfrick is poised for a big jump this spring. -Tyler Henninger

Chris Hacopian, SS/3B, Texas A&M

Hacopian can simply mash. He’s one of the top transfers coming into the SEC with a bat that can hit for both average and power. The raw juice showed up big on the Cape and at Maryland with enough hands, arm and feet to stick on the left side of the dirt defensively. Hacopian’s gaudy feel for contact and all-fields juice can sky rocket him well into early Day 1 territory. -Isaiah Burrows


Most likely prep to jump into the first round?

Coleman Borthwick, 3B/RHP, South Walton HS (Fla.)

Borthwick currently sits at 47 on the PG Draft Board, but with a big performance next spring, he could easily find himself moving into the first-round conversation. The Auburn commit has serious upside on both sides of the ball. He’s a massively physical 6-foot-6, 255-pound frame and build, with immense strength presently. He gets into the strength at the plate with serious power upside, and juice to leave the yard at the next level and produce hard-hit balls. However, he’s also up to 95 mph on the mound, with a healthy slider and curveball in the mix, showing the occasional changeup, giving him four pitches to attack the opposition with. Borthwick may not have the buzz like some of the other names in the first round right now, but with the highest-level two-way upside you’ll find, Borthwick is surely a candidate to be in the first-rounder bucket come springtime. - TK

Sean Duncan, LHP, Terry Fox Secondary School (CAN)

Duncan jumped on the scene this year and has quickly become the name to know out of Canada. It is a projectable 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame with present stuff. The fastball works into the mid-90’s, there is feel for secondary offerings, and the operation is efficient. A lot of teams are going to jump on the left-hander, as he will fit analytic models and passes the eye test. -TH

Trevor Condon, OF, Etowah HS (Ga.)

In a prep class full of premium athletes in center field, don’t be surprised to see Condon potentially surge his way into the first round. He’s clocked 70-grade run times with multiple sub-4.1s and plays some of the best defense you can find jn the prep ranks. There's a feel to hit from the left side, albeit from a deeper two-part timing reactive swing,  but he parked several baseballs last spring on a loaded Etowah squad and flashed raw juice on the circuit with wood. The tools are loud, and the entire package is something to consider amongst a loaded high school prep outfield crop. -IB


Most likely to be first arm off the board?

Gio Rojas, LHP, Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS (Fla.)

It seems pretty likely that the Stoneman Douglas southpaw is going to be the first pitcher to hear his name called on draft night. There’s a long road to draft day as we enter Thanksgiving week of 2025, but looking at the big picture, it sure does feel like a sure bet to consider Rojas to be the first arm off the board next summer, and for good reason. Rojas can go out there and play catch in the upper-90s from a tough slot/release that makes it really hard on the opposing hitters. Not to mention, a quality sweeping slider and a changeup to pair, giving him different options to attack opposing hitters and make quick work of them. Rojas has some serious talent as a prep arm and feels like he’ll be the first arm off the board in 2026. - TK


Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida

Peterson checks off all the boxes you look for in an arm at the top of the draft. The Florida righthander features a physical 6-foot-5, 220-pound frame. The fastball works into the upper-90’s and can overpower hitters, there is a full arsenal of pitches with dynamic shapes, and he can throw strikes. The profile has one of, if not, the highest ceiling on the entire board and should be off the board quickly come July. -TH

Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina

Flukey is equipped with some of the best pure stuff and shapes from a massive 6-foot-7 starter frame and extension to combine with it. Equipped with a riding high-90s fastball and sound secondaries in a changeup, curve and cutter for a quality mix. The frontline starter upside is all there and he checks those boxes as a first arm off the board this early in the year. -IB


Most likely to lead the country in strikeouts?

Aidan Knaak, RHP, Clemson

Knaak may not have the shutdown stat lines of some of the other names near the top of this board, with guys like Cameron Flukey and Liam Peterson near the top half of the first round. But Knaak, who’s ranked 66th on our PG Draft Board, could very well end up leading the country in punchouts. He’s produced more punchouts than innings pitched the last two years and has combined for 218 strikeouts over 173.2 innings of work for the Clemson Tigers. He averages over 11.0 K/9 and finds ways to induce the swing-and-miss. While he’s got some room to polish things and get deeper into ballgames, Knaak could wind up being a premier get in this draft class. His stuff has improved since his time on the prep circuit, and his changeup remains one of the best in the collegiate ranks, giving him a weapon to attack hitters with. If the punchout numbers stay true (and potentially tick upward), he might just see himself near the top of the leaderboard for strikeouts this year. - TK

Joey Volchko, RHP, Georgia

Volchko possesses big time stuff, but the numbers have not quite matched up with that so far in his collegiate career. That all should change this spring, as the right-hander transferred to Georgia and made a few mechanical changes. His arm slot has been lowered this fall and he has shifted on the rubber. This should allow his upper-90’s fastball and nasty off speed stuff to miss bats more consistently. If it all clicks, Volchko has the stuff to lead the country in strikeouts. -TH

Owen Kramkowski, RHP, Arizona

Upside pick here as Kramkowski has some of the loudest stuff in the country with a legitimate chance to hit triple digits this year. He has a deeper four-pitch mix with a unique blend of shapes and showed that on big stages last season. If the whiff rates continue to improve and his control is honed in, showing a better out pitch to righties, the sky is the limit and the stuff can take off. -IB
 

Most likely the to lead country in home runs?

Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech

Burress made serious noise after his freshman year, where he clubbed 25 homers and was one of the best power bats in all of college baseball. He came back in 2025 and belted another 19 bombs, bringing his career total to 44 over his 446 career at-bats for the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets. He has been a performer in his collegiate career, becoming one of the best bats in the college ranks, so there’s no reason to believe that he will not be coming out swinging once again in 2026. Another big year from Burress and he could not only find himself at the top of the HR leaderboard for college bats, but also could find himself inching closer to the first overall pick in the draft. - TK

AJ Gracia, OF, Virginia 

Gracia broke the Duke freshman home run record and followed it up with 15 more bombs during a “down” sophomore campaign. The power hitter outfielder has more juice in the tank and I think this is the year it all clicks. The ball can jump off the barrel when his fluid left-handed stroke is in sync. He began to catch fire late last spring and look for him to carry that into this spring. -TH
 
Myles Bailey, 1B/OF, Florida State

Another fun pick here as Bailey arguably has the loudest raw juice in the country. He’s coming off a 19 homer freshman campaign and his exit velocities and air pull rate pits him up against anyone in the college ranks. It’s massive left-handed juice with bat speed. If the swing decisions continue to improve, his combination of approach and power can surge him atop the homer leaderboards when it’s all said. -IB

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

Carlo Rivero struck out the side in the final inning to secure a big quarterfinal win. Sat 87-89 & ball explodes out of the hand, CB & CH both dynamic go-to pitches as well. #WWBAWorlds @Florida_PG https://t.co/l8a4f1psyK — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 19, 2026 2031 SS/RHP Carlo Rivero (Apopka, Fla.) debuted in the rankings as the top player in the country, and he had widened the gap by a good bit after the fall he had, capped off by an unreal showing in West Palm Beach. He hit almost .700 on the event with 7 of his 10 hits going for extra bases, while driving in 13, scoring 13 times himself, walking 8 times and no striking out in a single trip to the plate across 7 games.

‘27 RHP Jaxson Weiss (IL) pitched well in his 5 innings and put up some eye popping strikeout numbers. He punched out 10 and allowed only 2ER. FB T86 early and flashed a BB 72-75. #WCFinale https://t.co/M8GtCUgxyS — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) October 17, 2026 Jaxson Weiss (2027, New Lennox, Ill.) a right-handed pitcher put up big strikeout numbers in his start on Saturday. He worked five innings while punching out ten opposing hitters. The fastball topped out at 86 mph and sat in the 82-85 mph range most of the game.

He uses his lower half well with a nice leg drive and gets his hips through, guiding his backside. He pitched with confidence and stayed ahead of hitters most of the game. Hayden...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars Gets your reads in now because by the time you reach the end, some of the talent in this article might be giving their commitments to a college somewhere across the country. Every player below did something that caught out scout's eye and should certainly be on the radar for college coaches, if they aren't already.  Braxton Sykes (2028, Brunswick, Ga.) tossed a total of six innings down in Jupiter, collecting six strikeouts while failing to allow either a hit or earned run during his tenure on the mound. The 6-foot-2 right-hander showcased an impressive three-pitch mix with excellent feel to locate in every part of the strike zone. His fastball lived in the mid- to upper-80s mph range with more velocity to project for as Sykes continues to add strength and...
