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 Softball Super Regionals

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC West Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

WWBA East Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

Team Elite Takes Another PG Elite

Kinley Kitchens

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament. Ryan Johnson delivered 4.1 scoreless innings on the mound, allowing just two hits...
