2028 MLB Draft Prospects: 

Jackson Shepelsky, RHP, Lehigh 
Ben Hermann, IF/RHP, Lafayette 

Army West Point: Head Coach Chris Tracz led the Black Knights to the program’s seventh consecutive championship appearance, falling just short of capturing another Patriot league title. His team will be returning a lot of key offensive contributors in 2026 including the senior shortstop Thomas Schreck who started every game for the Black Knights, leading the team with a .335 batting average. Schreck was named to the First Team All-Patriot League alongside veteran outfielders Chris Barr and William Parker. The team’s swiss army knife Barr led the offense with 64 hits, 44 runs and 32 stolen bases. Parker also finished the year above .300, adding a team-high 15 doubles and six home runs. Another pair of proven seniors comes in the form of catcher Jack Quinlan and outfielder Addison Ainsworth—who were named to the Second Team All-Patriot League after impressive junior campaigns on both sides of the ball. The Black Knight’s ace Andrew Berg will be returning for his senior season after posting a 2.39 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across seven starts in league play—a campaign worthy of First Team All-Patriot League honors. A couple of right-handers that saw varied action on Army’s pitching staff last year are junior Robbie Penswick and senior Trey Ates. The pair could see a bigger workload this spring. With a ton of talent returning in 2026, the Black Knights are seeking to win their seventh league title in eight seasons. 

Bucknell: Head coach Scott Heather and his program look to bounce back in 2026 and potentially compete for a league title this May. Right-hander Jake Schultz will take on the role of ace as he returns to the Bison rotation after missing the majority of 2025 due to injury. Sophomore Everett Garber and the 6-foot-7 junior Jonathan Adelmann—who posted a 2.65 ERA with 46 strikeouts across relief 34.0 innings—could see starts early on this spring. Adelmann earned Second Team All-Patriot League honors last season and looks to build on that in 2026 as he prepares for a starting role. Designated hitter Michael Trommer—who led the team in homers and RBI last season—will be a key returner to the offense in 2026. He swings a consistent and powerful bat, making him a likely contender for a breakout campaign. The speedy centerfielder Billy Fluharty and veteran Ryan Facinelli bring more consistency and versatility to the top of Bucknell’s order. A second-year prospect to keep eyes on this spring is first baseman Lleyton Coupe, who could make an immediate impact on the offensive side of the ball. Coach Heather and his staff look to lead the Bison back near the top of the league this spring. 

Holy Cross: Ed Kahovec was named Patriot League Coach of the Year in back-to-back seasons after leading Holy Cross to their second league title in program history. The Crusaders defeated Army West Point in the championship series, ending their streak of six consecutive titles. The Crusaders will enter the 2026 season with a talented and familiar roster that can certainly two-peat this May. Last year’s Patriot League Player of the Year CJ Egrie will return to the outfield, alongside the speedy centerfielder Gianni Royer and power-hitting John LaFleur. The senior Egrie hit .398 in conference play, scoring 37 runs on 15 extra-base hits. Royer finished his sophomore campaign with 43 runs and 24 stolen bases. A freshman to keep eyes on this season is the physical lefty hitter Nick Anderson who swings a dangerous bat. The Patriot League Pitcher of the Year Jaden Wywoda will be returning for his senior season after posting a 3.10 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in conference play. He racked up 40 strikeouts over 40.2 innings, finishing with a perfect 7-0 record. The sophomore duo of Thomas Skrobe and southpaw Derek Volz will be counted on to eat up innings early on for the Crusaders. Skrobe will be healthy and back in the rotation after missing the majority of last season due to injury. Holy Cross looks to build off a dominant 2025 season and defend their title this spring. 

Lafayette: A.J. Miller enters his fourth season as head coach of the Leopards with the hope of making it back into the Patriot League tournament this May. The pitching staff will be led by the 6-foot-6 junior Tristan Helmick who made 10 starts in 2025, finishing third on the team in strikeouts with 49. The senior left-hander Trace Florio and Bryant transfer Trey Deitelbaum could also see starts early on for this Leopards’ pitching staff. Florio struck out 56 batters through 60.1 innings of work a year ago. Junior Ben Waterman and the 6-foot-5 sophomore Kellen Moore are a couple of right-handers that will likely be counted on in the back-end of the bullpen. Waterman made 18 appearances as a sophomore, striking out a batter per inning thrown. The Leopards’ outfield has veteran presence and prowess across the board. The senior Bode Grieve and sophomore Jack Mislan will guard the corners while bringing legitimate power tools to the top of the lineup. Mislan led the league in home runs as a freshman last year with eight, and looks to build off that campaign in year two. Another returner comes in the form of Matt Colella, who started nearly every game at shortstop during his time at Lafayette. Playing alongside Colella in the middle-infield will likely be Alex Barrist—another experienced sophomore with advanced bat-to-ball skills. Barrist hit .298 with a league-high five triples in 2025. The Leopards have the perfect blend of talent and experience, making them a credible candidate to reach the league playoff this spring. 

Lehigh: 3x Patriot League Coach of the Year Sean Leary enters his 31st season in charge of Lehigh’s baseball program. The Mountain Hawks went 11-14 last season, making the league tournament as the no. 4 seed before falling just one game shy of a championship appearance. The offense will likely be ignited by the veteran Dom Patrizi—who will move to the outfield this spring. The designated hitter Aidan Quinn and second baseman Ryan Cochran bring lots of tools to the top of the Mountain Hawks’ lineup. The senior Quinn hit .345 with a team-high six home runs and 49 RBI. He finished first in the league with a .536 slugging percentage in 2026 while earning First Team All-Patriot League honors. The pitching staff is loaded with talented arms that put up solid numbers last year. The team’s ace Cole Leaman has been up to 98 mph and garnered a lot of attention from professional scouts. The 6-foot-4 sophomore Noah Gyauch-Quirk turned in a 4.15 ERA with 30 strikeouts across 26.0 innings as a rookie. Liam O’Hearen is another right-hander with a very advanced pitch arsenal and the potential to play a big role on the pitching staff this spring. Cole Kochanowicz was named to the Second Team All-Patriot League after putting together a special freshman campaign. The right-hander posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.33 WHIP throughout 13 appearances last season. The Mountain Hawks enter the 2026 season with an extremely talented rotation and a lot of reliable leather to back them up. 

Navy: Chuck Ristano enters year no. 3 as head coach of the Midshipmen and looks to lead the program to their first league title since 2016. A couple of key offensive contributors that will be returning to Coach Ristano’s lineup are second baseman Evan Brown and the sophomore backstop Ty DePerno—who earned Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors after posting a .329 average in conference play. Victor Izquierdo and Patrick Walsh will likely guard the corners of the infield and bring the power to this Navy offense. The rookie Walsh has the potential to put together a loud season at the plate. Outfielder Andrew Manning is another valuable returner to this lineup that swings a potent bat. He was named to the Second Team All-Patriot League in 2025 after leading the Midshipmen in homers and runs scored. The pitching rotation will likely be headed by the 6-foot-4 right-hander Matt Archibald who pitched to a 2.45 ERA in conference play last year. Another reliable righty comes in the form of Brady Bendik who posted a 3.95 ERA with 62 punchouts over 73.0 innings of work, and earned Second Team All-Patriot League honors. Tyler Grenn turned in a stellar sophomore campaign in 2024 and seeks to return to that form this spring. With loads of firepower on both sides of the ball, Navy makes for a real threat to win it all this spring.

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...

West Region High School Sleepers

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Talking and debating sleeper prospects might be my favorite part of scouting. It’s where context, projection, and conviction matter most—whether it’s an underrated performer who keeps producing on the circuit, a raw but explosive athlete you can dream on, or an arm with starter traits that hasn’t quite made the stuff jump yet. These are the players who tend to separate evaluators, reward patience, and make the spring HS season really fascinating. Below are several West Region prospects outside the T100 who fit that mold and deserve serious attention as the spring unfolds. Jet Berry, Queen Creek HS, Arizona There’s a lot to like with Berry. He’s one of the more explosive, twitchy athletes in the country, and it shows consistently in all facets of his game. From a tools perspective his easy plus run and bat-to-ball ability stand out. He’s been a...
