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.

Iowa Spring League Notes: Week 1
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Brooks Mitchell-Birdsell (2027, Atkins, Iowa) was solid on both sides of the ball this weekend. He was able to show a clean move working into it, with the feel to impact it out in front and drive hard through contact. He had good barrel accuracy with feel to drive the ball well, especially working pull-side. He was 4-for-8 on the weekend with a double to his credit, driving in 7 runs as well. Mitchell-Birdsell also put together a good outing on the mound, delivering 2 innings of scoreless work with 3 punchouts. He worked the low 80s with some run, flashing a mid-70s curveball with good 11-5 shape and depth.  Maddux Mueller (2026, Amana, Iowa) LH bat with plenty to like in the batter’s box, and he put together a solid showing this weekend. He finished 2-for-3 with a double, demonstrating both contact ability and the capacity to drive the baseball for extra bases. Mueller...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 8

We are past the midpoint of the college baseball season and the stakes are rising by the week. Conference races are tightening, schedules are getting harder, and the résumés that will matter in the selection room are being written right now — one series at a time. This week's most significant development came in Division II, where North Greenville swept Young Harris in three consecutive one-run games to claim the top spot for the first time this season, knocking Tampa from a perch they've held most of the year. It's a genuine changing of the guard at the top, and it's exactly the kind of shakeup that makes this stretch of the season worth paying close attention to. Across all three divisions the picture is coming into focus. In Division I NAIA, Georgia Gwinnett remains the standard while Taylor and Cumberlands continue to make their cases from behind. In Division III,...

College Players of the Week: April 7

April 7th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF  The UCF Knights (20-9) are coming off one of their biggest series victories in years when they went to Morgantown and took down the Mountaineers to take control of the Big 12 regular season standings.  The offense put on quite the performance and Andrew Williamson set the tone by leaving the yard in his first at-bat of the weekend launching a towering home run over the centerfield wall.  The 6-0/195 lefty from St. Petersburg, FL has one of the sweetest strokes in the college game today and when he goes, so do the Knights.  In the 3-game series, the junior collected 6 hits in his 10 at-bats, scoring 6 runs, on 5 walks, a double and he launched 3 home runs all told.  While he had a stretch earlier in the season where he was searching for his stroke a bit, he is getting locked in at the...

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside.  Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad.  The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll.  The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend.  Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors.

Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
