Mid-Atlantic All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition.

The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner.



New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.

C – Braeden Lipoff (Sr., Gloucester Catholic HS, N.J.)

Lipoff has been the starting catcher the last two years for the strong Gloucester Catholic HS team and has been very productive, hitting .398-3-23 as a sophomore and .474-3-29 with 11 doubles as a junior.  He also brings high level defensive skills to the catching position with a strong arm and advanced receiving skills.  Lipoff is signed with East Carolina.

1B – Jordan Burwell (Sr., Seton Hall Prep, N.J.)

Burwell is a strong and athletic 6-2/205 left-handed hitter who simply mashed at all levels throughout 2025.  The West Virginia signee let the Seton Hall Prep offense by hitting .478-5-30 in 24 games and continued throughout the summer posting .394-5-34 numbers in 33 games in PG play. 

MIF –  Leo Nockley (Jr., Wyoming Seminary College Prep, Penn.)

Nockley isn’t a big athlete at 5-8/165 but he has significant compact strength for his size and posts exit velocities that are shocking in context.  A left-handed hitter, Nockley hit .362-3-19 in 21 games with 24 walks and 20 steals as a sophomore at Wyoming Seminary College Prep, which might be considered a slump after he hit .537 as a freshman.  The 22nd ranked prospect nationally in the 2027 class, Nockley is committed to Tennessee.

MIF – Jason Amalbert (Sr., DePaul Catholic HS, N.J.)

Amalbert has the whole tool box with outstanding right-handed bat speed, a low to mid-90’s arm with long-term middle infield actions and 6.7 speed and could probably make a good case for being ranked higher than his current 95th slot nationally.  The Oklahoma commit pretty much dominated games in PG play last summer, hitting .460-7-26 in 25 games after posting similar .470-9-32 numbers during the spring.

3B – Graham Keen (Jr., Mt. Lebanon HS, Penn.)

Keen is one of the top two-way juniors in the country, with a fastball that can touch 94 mph from the left side and big and projectable power at the plate.  The 26th ranked player in the 2027 class, Keen fits best on this All-Region team at third base.

OF – Anderson Lambert (Jr., McDonogh HS, Mary.)

Lambert has a nice balance of tools and big physical projection, especially with his right-handed bat.  The Alabama commit has 6.7 speed and a low 90’s arm from the outfield and a long history of hitting at PG events.  He’s ranked 61st overall in the 2027 class.

OF – Finnian O'Loughlin (Jr., Delbarton HS, N.J.)

O’Loughlin has been on the prospect map since he was selected for the 2023 Perfect Game 14U Select Festival and has continued to improve in all areas since then.  His most impressive present tool is his right-handed power and overall bat speed, which was highlighted when he hit a huge home run over the batter’s eye at the WWBA World Championships last October.  An Alabama commit, O’Loughlin hit 368-3-16 in 25 games in 2025 PG play.

OF – Luke Williams (Sr., Franklin Regional HS, Penn.)

Williams battled injuries last summer but is one of the most tooled up players in the country with elite level arm strength both at shortstop and in the outfield and 6.3 speed in the sixty.  He’s the 36th ranked player in the 2026 class and is signed with Vanderbilt.  A strong spring with the bat and good health could make him explode up draft lists.

LHP – Greyson Bell (So., Daniel Boone HS, Penn.)

The 6-2/175 Bell is one of the few sophomores on any of the 12 All-Region Teams but has a long resume already and a very promising future.  A three-time Select Festival athlete who also pitched for the USA Baseball 15U National Team in 2025, Bell is ranked 16th nationally in the 2028 class.  He works in the 88-91 mph range for now with more coming and uses an upper 70’s slider as his strike out pitch.

RHP – Daniel Kellis (Sr., Radnor HS, Penn.)

Kellis has a big power pitcher’s body at 6-5/230 and a power pitcher’s present fastball.  He can sit in the mid-90’s and top out at 96 mph with big sinking and cutting action that works under barrels effectively.  He is signed with Wake Forest.

RHP – Cole Kuhn (Jr., St. Joseph’s Prep, Penn.)

Kuhn is a 6-6/195 right-hander who appears to have exploded this off-season and has a chance to be a fast riser up the rankings this spring and summer, especially as he will be still 16 years old all spring and much of the summer.  The Duke commit topped out at 93 mph at the WWBA World Championships last October but has been touching triple digits in workouts leading up to the 2026 season.

RHP – Trent Lutz (Jr., Souderton Area HS, Penn.)

Lutz is a lower case version of Cole Kuhn (above) as a young Pennsylvania right-hander who has made huge strides this winter.  The 6-4/175 Penn State commit ended 2025 by topping out at 94 mph at the WWBA World Championships but has regularly been up to 96-97 mph according to reports coming out of Pennsylvania.  Lutz posted a 1.93 ERA as a sophomore with 43 strikeouts and only 8 walks in 32 innings of work.

LHP – Sean Loggie (Sr., Christian Brothers Academy, N.J.)

Loggie looks the part of the classic young pitching prospect at 6-6/195 and has quality present stuff that could have another step coming.  He works in the low 90’s with his fastball and tops out at 94 mph with both his slider and change up being quality secondary pitches.  Loggie is signed with Virginia.

UT – Alex Weingartner (Sr., St. Augustine Prep, N.J.)

Weingartner was considered a primary pitcher with a fastball in the 90-94 mph range to go with a full four-pitch mix and plenty of feel for pitching.  But for the last year he’s been making more noise as a position prospect.  First, the Penn State commit hit .397-6-31 last spring for St. Augustine Prep, then came back and hit .420-5-16 in 22 games of PG play last summer. 

 
Mid-Atlantic Region Top Tools


Best Hitter for Average: Jason Amalbert (Sr., DePaul Catholic HS, N.J.)

Amalbert has simply hit everywhere he’s played in the last year and has the strength and raw bat speed to continue to improve.

Best Hitter for Power: Finnian O'Loughlin (Jr., Delbarton HS, N.J.)

O’Loughlin’s power is going to be fun to watch develop over the next two seasons.  Not only does he have strength and bat speed, he can be very aggressive in attacking pitches to get to that power.  Graham Keen and his left-handed leverage is a close second in this category.

Best Runner: Alex Weingartner (Sr., St. Augustine Prep, N.J.)

Weingartner has definitely raised his stock with the scouting community this off-season with his rapidly improving tool set, with his speed really standing out.

Best Defensive Catcher: Mickey Gilligan (Sr., Passaic Co Tech, N.J.)

Gilligan has all the components of a high-level defensive catcher with his athleticism and exceptionally strong throwing arm.  A left-handed hitter who is signed with Rutgers, his ceiling will be determined by how much his bat develops at the college level.

Best Defensive Infielder: Leo Nockley (Jr., Wyoming Seminary College Prep, Penn.)

Nockley has outstanding actions at shortstop highlighted by his quick-twitch athleticism and confident glove actions.  He may end up at second base for size and arm reasons but he’ll be outstanding there as well.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Luke Williams (Sr., Franklin Regional HS, Penn.)

Williams 6.3 speed and 98 mph outfield arm make him an obvious choice given his multi-positional skills and tools.

Best Defensive Arm: Luke Williams (Sr., Franklin Regional HS, Penn.)

Williams’ physical tools continue to stand out and be recognized in this Region.

Best Fastball: Cole Kuhn (Jr., St. Joseph’s Prep, Penn.)

Indoor off-season workout velocity readings can be deceptive at times but Kuhn’s whole package of size and age makes his off-season accomplishments extremely impressive nonetheless.  There will be lots of eyes on him early this spring, especially for a junior.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: Sean Loggie (Sr., Christian Brothers Academy, N.J.)

Loggie throws both a conventional short power slider with late bite, plus a cutter off his low 90’s fastball and does so from an extended ¾’s arm slot that creates difficult angle for hitters.  His change up is pretty advanced for his age as well.

Best Pitchability: Greyson Bell (So., Daniel Boone HS, Penn.)

Bell has unusual polish and command for his age and it will be interesting to watch as he matures physically and improves his raw stuff.

Road to the 2026 17U BCS Title

Emily Hicks
Article Image
This weekend, 11 teams will take the field for the 2026 17U BCS Challenge, a three-day event that brings together programs from across the country for a full slate of pool play and bracket action. With games beginning Friday and a champion crowned Sunday, the format leaves little room for slow starts, making every inning important from the opening pitch. The field features a mix of established programs and rising teams. With so many evenly matched rosters, there’s not much separation heading into the weekend, which puts importance on pitching depth, defensive consistency, and timely hitting. Pool play will quickly determine seeding, and even one loss can shift a team’s path heading into bracket play. One of the teams expected to be in the mix is Hawaii Elite 2G 17U National, a group that is 6-3 overall and ranked as “Honorable Mention” on the Perfect Games...
