Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
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 tools, which include 6.41 speed and a 98 mph arm off the mound on a 6-3/200 athlete, make him a unique prospect.
 



C -- Caden Borcherding (Jr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Borcherding has always been a defensive standout behind the plate and is a three-time Select Festival athlete.  The right-handed hitter made huge progress with the bat last summer, getting to his strength and power more often and hitting .459-2-12 in 24 PG games.  Borcherding will play all spring at 16-years old and is still highly projectable.

1B -- Bryce Fontenot (Jr., Cherokee Bluff HS, Ga.)

Fontenot was a standout at the recent Underclass Main Event Showcase, overpowering baseballs with 100+ EV’s and throwing 93 mph off the mound.  But he’s also hit .585 and .500 the last two years on good volume on the PG circuit and was one of the leading home run hitters in Georgia as a sophomore, hitting .371-13-42 in 36 games for Cherokee Bluffs HS.

MIF -- Keon Johnson (Sr., First Presbyterian HS, Ga.)

Johnson was one of the first high profile prospects nationally in the 2026 class and was named the 2022 14U PG Player of the Year.  He’s continued to progress across the board in all areas and his polish on the field almost surpasses his tools at this point.  The Vanderbilt signee hit .523-10-47 with 25 steals and 68 runs scored as a junior at First Presbyterian HS.  His tools are highlighted by 6.50 speed and a 95 mph infield throwing arm.

MIF -- Isaiah Galason (Sr., Houston County HS, Ga.)

Galason was originally a class of 2027 athlete but re-classified and blossomed in 2025 to become a Perfect Game All-American with pure middle infield athleticism on defense and a high performing right-handed hitter with some juice in his bat.  His most impressive individual tool is probably his speed, as he’s a 6.31 runner with a very quick first step.

3B -- Harry Chubb Jones Jr. (Jr., McEachern HS, Ga.)

Jones Jr. has the entire tool box and could easily be the utility player on this All-Region team.  Still very projectable at 6-4/190 and barely 17-years old, Jones is a 6.60 runner with a 95 mph infield throwing arm and also throws up to 96 mph off the mound.  He hit .321-4-28 as a sophomore at McEachern HS and also went 6-3, 1.93 on the mound with 76 strikeouts in 47 innings.

OF -- Martin Shelar (Sr., Marist HS, Ga.)

Shelar’s run and throw tools are fine with 6.57 speed and a 94 mph outfield arm but his big tool is his right-handed bat and bat speed.  He hit .434-6-41 with 17 doubles and 25 steals in 45 PG games in 2025 and perhaps most impressively walked 30 times while only strike out 6 times.  Shelar’s power display at the PG National Showcase was one of the highlights of the event, including his 108 EV in drills and an exceptionally loud batting practice.

OF -- Trevor Condon (Sr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Condon fits the profile of the speedy smaller left-handed hitting outfielder that has become popular in recent years and has shot up draft lists over the last year.  A pure center fielder, Condon hit .423 with surprising power in PG play in 2025.

OF -- Malachi Washington (Sr., Parkview HS, Ga.)

Washington gained plenty of national player of the year talk after his 2025 junior season at Parkview when he hit .538-15-59 with 32 extra base hits, 29 walks and 17 steals.  Washington’s incredible performance can overshadow his impressive physical tools, which include 6.33 speed and a 96 mph outfield arm.

LHP RJ Cope (Sr., Georgia Premier Academy, Ga.)

Cope has been a fixture at PG events since he was in seventh grade and he’s grown into a 6-8/250 two-way standout whose future is likely on the mound.  He’s been up to 95 mph on the mound with extreme extension down the mound and has really improved his slider over the past year.  Cope’s raw power stands out at this level as well, as he hit .394-12-62 in 83 PG games in 2025 and he could possibly be a two-way player should he end up at Vanderbilt.

LHP Colin White (Sr., Harrison HS, Ga.)

White missed significant time in 2024 and 2025 with injuries but exploded this past fall to put himself onto team’s draft lists heading into the spring.  An extra strong 6-4/210 athlete, White sat 93-96 mph at the WWBA World Championships in October while dominating the strike zone.  He could be poised for a big spring.

RHP Matthew Sharman (Sr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Sharman went 13-1, 1.47 with 137 strikeouts in 80 innings as a junior while also hitting .467-6-37 at the plate and adding 14 scoreless innings in PG play during the summer.  The Geogia signee generally pitches in the low-90’s to go with a slider and change up and has excellent command and feel for pitching.

RHP Joseph Contreras (Sr., Blessed Trinity Catholic HS, Ga.)

Contraras finally made the transition from switch-hitting middle infielder to full-time pitcher, a move that had been anticipated for years, and predictably exploded on the mound.  He regularly worked in the 94-97 mph range and topped out higher to go with a nasty slider and solid control.  He could take another step forward this spring as he builds up his innings.

RHP Blake Bryant (Sr., Citizens Christian Academy, Ga.)

Bryant has a prototype young starter’s profile with a very projectable 6-5/180 build to go with a three-pitch mix that includes a 92-94 mph fastball, a sweeping slider and a mid to upper 80’s change up that he already has lots of confidence in.  He’s also a strike thrower who only walked 6 hitters in 38 innings as a junior at Citizens Christian Academy while going 6-1, 1.29 with 68 strikeouts and only 17 hits allowed.

UT -- Brock Rein (Sr., Starrs Mill HS, Ga.)

The 6-3/195 Rein is a primary shortstop now who projects at third base at the next level but who also has the tools to be a solid defensive outfielder with a 94 mph arm.  Rein also pitches extensively with both Starrs Mill HS in the spring and East Cobb in the summer with a fastball that tops out at 91 mph.  The PG All-American’s standout tool this past year was his power, as he hit .333-9-38 in 43 games in PG play.


Georgia Top Tools


Best Hitter for Average: Trevor Condon (Sr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Condon has outstanding barrel to ball skills and is a patient hitter as well who walked 21 times in 22 games of PG play in 2025.  Add in his plus speed and that’s the recipe for a high average hitter.

Best Hitter for Power: Malachi Washington (Sr., Parkview HS, Ga.)

The amazing thing about Washington’s 15 home runs in the spring for Parkview HS was that he had played 59 games, amassing 136 at-bats, without hitting a single home run in his first two years of high school.  The over the fence power wasn’t as evident during the summer except in BP, but Washington did hit .414 in PG play.  This category is absolutely loaded in Georgia, it goes without saying.

Best Runner: Isaiah Galason (Sr., Houston County HS, Ga.)

On a team loaded with power, Galason’s speed and especially first step quickness stands out and contribute to both his offensive and defensive games.

Best Defensive Catcher: Caden Borcherding (Jr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Borcherding has plenty of agility and side to side athleticism behind the plate and a low 80’s throwing arm.  He’ll also be handling the elite Etowah HS pitching staff this spring which is bound to continue to develop his overall skills.

Best Defensive Infielder: Keon Johnson (Sr., First Presbyterian HS, Ga.)

Despite his strong 6-2/200 build, Johnson has bouncy athletic actions at shortstop and fluid actions in all directions.  His mid-90’s arm will be an asset as he moves forward as well.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Wessley Roberson (Sr., Glynn Academy, Ga.)

Roberson has huge physical tools, with 6.34 speed and a 97 mph throwing arm.  That kind of athleticism will attract draft attention if the LSU signees bat can continue to improve this spring.

Best Defensive Arm: Harry Chubb Jones Jr. (Jr., McEachern HS, Ga.)

The category could go to any number of players but Jones Jr. might be throwing 100 mph from some position by the 2026 PG National Showcase.  Or maybe multiple positions.

Best Fastball: Joseph Contreras (Sr., Blessed Trinity Catholic HS, Ga.)

Contreras’ fastball jumped into the mid-90’s immediately when he converted to pitching full-time and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him take another step up with his velocity with full year of development and training behind him.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: Blake Bryant (Sr., Citizens Christian Academy, Ga.)

Bryant’s off-speed stuff is very mature both in shape and in his ability to throw strikes with it.  His slider fits the sweeper category right now and his mid-80s changeup has hard late sink and lots of deception.

Best Pitchability: Matthew Sharman (Sr., Etowah HS, Ga.)

Sharman would be one of the national candidates for this category, something USA Baseball recognized when he started for the 18U Team at the 2025 World Championships and went 2-0 in 10 innings.

Best Multi-Sport Athlete: Jack Richerson (Sr., Marist HS, Ga.)

Richerson had a great 2025 on the baseball field, hitting .440-7-34 in PG play while featuring 6.73 speed and a 97 mph outfield throwing arm.  Listed at 6-4/220, Richerson is also a standout three-star tight end who is signed to play both sports at Georgia Tech.

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
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. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...
