WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars | Jupiter: Uncommitted...For Now | Jupiter: Breakout Prospects



You don't have to look too hard into the future to see what the prep game has in store as the players below are already showing tools beyond their years. With a slew of 2028 and 2029 grads more than holding their own in Jupiter, the scene for the upcoming summer has already had some groundwork laid out for what should be an exciting couple of years to come. 


Alan Zimmerman (2028, Winter Garden, Fla.) was dominant in his start last week in Jupiter, racking up five strikeouts in three shutout innings while rendering just one hit. The uncommitted 6-foot-3 right-hander showed out in front of a lot of important eyeballs, running his fastball up to 91 mph. The heater plays up with lots of life through the zone and short arm-side run. He sat comfortably in the 88-90 mph range, pairing his fastball with a late-acting 12/6 curveball that was landed successfully for strikes in several counts. Zimmerman offers a lot of upside as an arm, and will likely continue his ascent towards the top of the 2028 rankings. 


Richard Marshall (2028, Whitby, Ont.) put together an impressive start down in Jupiter, striking out six batters in four innings while allowing just one hit and a walk. The 6-foot-2 right-hander worked his fastball on the edges of the strike zone, topping it out at 92 mph while sitting comfortably in the 90-91 mph range. He spun a late-breaking curveball with tight spin to it, inducing multiple swings and misses from opposing hitters. Marshall has solidified himself as one of the top arms up north with more velocity to project for over the next couple of years.

-Anthony Gambardella

Austin Rodriguez (2028, Henderson, NV) There may not have been many '28 players in Jupiter who did more to strengthen their prospect status than Rodriguez. He's been firmly on the radar of our West Region staff for a while now, but this was a pretty emphatic showing on a national stage, recording a knock in all six games and repeatedly handling premium stuff with little trouble. The offensive track record is becoming difficult to ignore, as the Nevada native put together a monster .446/.538/.831 slash across 33 PG games in 2026 with just a 13.1% whiff rate. That's an awfully impressive blend of bat-to-ball ability and thump, and the underlying swing traits offer plenty of reasons to buy into its sustainability. He hits from a slightly narrow, upright stance with the hands set high near the ear, utilizing a subtle forward glide to establish rhythm before firing from a compact launch position. The barrel works downhill initially before leveling through the hitting zone, creating a direct route to contact with enough freedom out front to turn balls around and produce carry. What stood out most was the ability to handle different pitch shapes and locations without losing the quality of his swings, consistently finding hard contact to all parts of the yard. There's a physical presence to the profile that should eventually fit well at the hot corner, where his glove work and overall defensive aptitude give him a realistic home. Currently ranked No. 192 nationally, he's a strong candidate to make one of the more significant climbs in our next update. I'd imagine the recruiting interest is already substantial, and there's plenty of reason to believe his stock will continue to rise.

Sid Goecke (2028, Montverde, FL) The more you dig into what Goecke has accomplished this year, the more interesting the profile becomes. He isn't necessarily going to overwhelm evaluators with present velo, but there's a lot of substance to the overall package and his Jupiter outing was another encouraging piece of a steadily growing résumé. The Florida State commit worked 2.2 innings out of the bullpen and punched out four, continuing a stretch of success that has spanned the BCS National Championship, National Elite, PG World Series and now Jupiter. He's compiled a 1.29 ERA in 16.1 innings while throwing 62% strikes and retiring 37% of opposing hitters via strikeout, a particularly strong combination for an underclass left-hander. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, he has the makings of a durable frame with additional room to develop, and there's a natural fluidity to the way he operates that gives you reason to project on the stuff. He works with good tempo, stays under control through his move down the mound and delivers from a clean arm stroke that doesn't require much effort to generate his present velo. The fastball touched 89 before settling into the mid-80s, but the more encouraging takeaway was the foundation of the secondary mix. His firmer changeup flashed legit swing-and-miss characteristics when he created separation off the heater, while a slower, slurvy breaking ball gave him another option to steal strikes and change eye levels. Neither offering is a completely finished product, but the ingredients are there.

Alex Fernando Rodriguez (2028, Plant City, FL) At some point, the numbers become too outrageous to overlook, and Rodriguez has reached that territory with what he's done on the PG circuit in 2026. The Florida State commit has absolutely torched opposing pitching to the tune of a .458/.587/.896 slash across 20 games, with much of that damage coming at major stops like WWBA Nationals and the PG World Series. Jupiter offered another glimpse of the offensive talent, highlighted to me by a left-handed swing that sent a ball screaming into the left-center gap for a triple. It was an excellent example of how naturally the bat works, as he stayed through the baseball and drove it with authority the other way rather than trying to manufacture pull-side loft. There's a certain ease and fluidity to his swings that you don't find very often in young switch-hitters, and it's a big part of what makes the offensive projection so appealing. He gets into strong hitting positions without forcing anything, creating a lengthy window for contact while maintaining the adjustability to work different areas of the strike zone. It's a legit pro-style stroke from either batter's box, and the ability to consistently produce this level of offense from both sides only adds to the intrigue. Factor in the athleticism and capable defensive actions on the dirt, and you're looking at a strong position-player prospect. Rodriguez has been one of the more prolific offensive performers in the class this year, and his Jupiter showing did nothing to slow that momentum. Florida State commit.

-Joey Cohen


Vaka Tameilau, RHP, Kingston, WA. FTB National (2028)
Tameilau is part of the next wave to watch closely through the fall and spring; with his stuff and projection, he will be one of the names everyone will know by this time next year. Tameilau attacked the zone with a complete four-pitch mix and showed solid command over 2.2 innings. His fastball touched 94 mph and played up in the zone with carry, generating consistent whiffs. His secondaries showed sharp depth and consistent spin, helping him work efficiently. In 48 pitches, he allowed no hits, struck out five and walked one. Tameilau pairs a strong arm and an athletic, projectable frame with present velocity and a deep arsenal. He is an uncommitted, high-ceiling arm and a must-follow in the 2028 class.

Albert Casmere, 1B, Williamson, GA. Team Georgia (2028)
Cashmere is one of the young bats to keep an eye on this fall and spring. You may already, but you will know his name by this time next year. Casmere shows extension and barrel control through contact, with a swing that produces loud results. His durable, strong frame already hints at over-the-fence power potential. At first base, he has the size and physical projection to handle the position long term. The present hit tool stood out more than his raw power in this look, but his bat speed, leverage and frame suggest more power is on the way. An uncommitted 2028 prospect, Casmere ranks as the No. 4 first baseman in Georgia for his class.

Lennox Guenther, SS, Templeton, CA. BPA (2028) 
Guenther is an intriguing part of the next wave of 2028 talent. He will be one of the names to know when this time next year rolls around. Guenther profiles as a primary shortstop, showing good body control and range on the dirt. His hands work cleanly to both sides, with a quick exchange and release, and he has the present arm strength to play on the left side of the infield. He also brings a tall, lean, athletic frame with room to add strength as he develops.

-Steve Doherty


Gavin Greene (’28, Alpharetta, Ga.)- the 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitter finished up the 2026 PG WWBA World Championship with a .444 batting average over four games for Arizona Diamondbacks Scout. The Auburn University commit did not skip a beat playing up as an underclassman as he is no stranger to competing against older competition. The talented catch-and-throw backstop has started behind the plate since he first stepped on campus at the powerhouse program at Blessed Trinity Catholic. Catching some of the highest ranked arms in the country, he has handled himself with poise and maturity beyond his years. Greene not only held his own but was a force offensively with a pair of home runs and a double to drive in seven runs. Most impressive was not his two home run, five runs batted in game against MVP 2027, but rather his 2-for-2 performance against PG All American and LSU commit Samir Mohammed. Greene doubled down the left field line and then lined a single to right field to drive in a run, both coming off 97-mph fastballs on a day where Mohammed punched out 11 batters and touched 100 mph. The next wave of talented backstops is not on its way to the Peach State, he is already here and his name is Gavin Greene.  


Braiden Miller (’28, Waterford, Va.)- the No. 1 ranked third baseman in the Virginia state class jumped on the mound for Banditos 2027 Scout to close out a 7-to-2 victory in pool play. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-handed pitcher from Woodgrove High School did not allow a hit and struck out five over his scoreless two-inning save. Miller ran the fastball up to 93 mph in his first inning of work and showcased a sharp curveball with depth in the 74-77 mph range to record eight swings and misses. He controlled the zone at a 60% strike rate with a clean inline delivery and high three-quarters slot working downhill. An impressive outing from the young 2028 grad who just turned 16 years old, and a highly sought after next wave of uncommitted two-way talent in the 2028 class. 
 

Brody Radwick (’28, Port Orange, Fla.)- the 6-foot-5, 190-pound left-handed pitcher showcased his unique arm talent and present starter profile in a 3 and 2/3 innings start for Scorpions 2027. The Florida State commit from Spruce Creek High School ran the fastball up to 89 mph with arm-side run and a three-pitch mix from his slight crossfire delivery. With a loose arm swing and low three quarters slot, he showcased the ability to command the zone (65% strikes) and work deep into games (46 pitches) while inducing weak contact early in counts. He featured a changeup with fading action and depth while showcasing the traits for a true swing-and-miss slider that plays to both righties and lefties. The slider displayed sweeping action in the 74-76 mph range at upwards of 2500 RPM and 22”-24” of lateral break. He also showcased the ability to add depth to the slider to back foot right-handed hitters with increased lateral tilt to left-handed hitters. Radwick fits the mold perfectly as the next wave of Seminoles starters who have developed into big league talent down in Tallahassee.  
  
-Jason Phillips

Cooper Janke (2028, Merritt Island, FL) has a frame that scouts drool over, standing 6-foot-6, 225-pounds with strength in the lower half.  The right-hander flashes elite stuff on the bump, running the fastball up to 97 and coupling it with a sharp slider in the low-to-mid 80’s.  He struggled with the command but watch out when he harnesses it all.  Janke is committed to Florida.


Kensen Johnson (2028 Chula Vista, CA) put together another strong, two-way performance during his time in Jupiter.  He was up to 94 on the mound with a live, loose arm that projects to add even more velocity in the coming year and will be a must watch on the rubber this time next fall.  The primary shortstop played solid in the dirt over the weekend and was a presence in the box, recording a hit in every game he played and finishing with a .545 average.

-Scott Rankin

Rett Ethier (2029, Phoenix, Arizona) headlines the next wave of young players and showed some eye opening stuff off the bump for his squad. Ethier worked 90-93 with his fastball and it comes out easy. He stands in at 6-foot-5 with a ton of projection remaining. He moves well and the arm just works. Combine the projection with the stuff and you have a product that could end up being top of the class stuff when it’s all said and done. Expect Ethier to make a big jump throughout the coming years.

Kors Matthews (2029, St Augustine, Florida) is another intriguing young arm who showed well down in Jupiter off the bump. The 6-foot-0 lefty is lean and athletic and works downhill with repeatable mechanics. He worked up to 88 with his fastball from a tough slot with angles. He showed 2 quality secondaries and both projects to be legitimate out getting pitches. This is an arm that should continue to see an uptick in velo over the coming years and should continue to climb up the rankings.
 
-Geoff Billock

2028 OF/RHP Kade Maltz (Key West, FL) committed to North Carolina State shortly after the event as his performance as a legit two-way prospect made an impact on the many eyes that got the chance to watch him. Currently stands at 6-foot, 180 pounds with present physicality throughout. After making a big impact at the WWBA Underclass event the week before, Maltz continued to show his above average skill set in Jupiter both on the mound and offensively. On the mound he runs the fastball up to 93 mph with life as the ball jumps out of his hand along with an upper 70s slider with depth. Can mow down a lineup when he gets rolling. On the offensive side from the right side of the plate, he possesses present juice to drive the ball over the wall as well as the ability to barrel it up and produce hard hit line drives deep into the gaps for XBHs. Above average runner as well. A rise in the national rankings is coming for the emerging star. 2029

RHP/MIF Luca Giacomino (Wesley Chapel, FL) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds on a loose, athletic frame with strength in the lower half. The two-way standout continued to show his big potential on the mound as he touched 91 mph with his fastball, sitting 87-90 and featuring a quick arm with still more in the tank. Mixes in a slider in the mid to upper 70s with depth, late action along with a low 80s changeup that displays fade. Present above average athleticism with a fast arm. Had no problem going up against, taking on hitters a couple years older than him. Offensively the above average bat speed in there from the right side of the plate as he shows pull side pop with the ability to drive the ball back up the middle for base hits. His overall upside mostly likely lies on the mound, but his ability to make an impact in multiple ways is key. Trending upward overall in his class with more jumps in his game to come.
 
-Mike Maerz

Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, AZ) one of the more talented players in the entire 2029 class. A smooth left handed swing that really projects to hit from both average and power. Already an athletic 6-foot-2 build and intriguing position versatility. Played will in multiple events this past summer and had 2 hits including a double off the right field fence in Jupiter while playing as one of the youngest players in the event. Really bright future and looks the part as one of the top bat in the 2029 class.


Macade Carey (2029, Nokomis, FL) a rare blend of not just arm talent but true pitchability for the age. And he showed it on a big amateur baseball stage against older and very talented competition. Threw 4 scoreless innings, allowed just 2 base runners and struck out 5 in his Jupiter start. A fastball up to 90, consistent shape to the breaking ball and an advanced fading change up that was turned over well on multiple occasions. The feel to pitch is very apparent and the natural arm talent is right there too. Chance to develop into one of the top arms in the 2029 class.

Jaden Freeze (2028, Hanover, PA) a player that could fit into multiple categories for this project. This was the best individual game I saw anyone have in Jupiter this year offensively. 3 hits including 2 home runs and 5 RBI. Athleticism stands out, bat speed stands out and the approach to try and really impact the baseball stands out. Certainly a player with game changing ability.
 
-Blaine Peterson


Lucien Kovalcik, RHP, 2028, Canadian Premier 

While the final line score doesn’t jump off the page for Kovalcik (28, CAN) it was an intriguing look in his start on the mound for Canadian Premier.  At 6-4/200 with all sorts of room to mature and add physicality, the righty showed the repertoire that projects to be a dominant starter long term.  He showed excellent mound presence and stayed on the attack even when he was a bit unlucky with soft contact finding holes.  Kovalcik operates at a quick pace with a loose delivery, loading the arm quickly before accelerating through a classic ¾ arm angle.  The fastball profiles as a plus pitch at the next level with its life at the plate and low-90s velocity.  He throws strikes at a solid level and except for the one mistake, his low-80s slider dominated hitters proving to be a legitimate out pitch.  With the projection left for Kovalcik’s frame and some tweaks to his delivery, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to see him touching the mid-90s come spring.  Finishing his outing with 2.2 IP, allowing three earned runs, no walks and he punched out five batters all told, the uncommitted arm should be on most clubs list to follow. 
 

DJ Jones, IF, 2028, East Cobb Astros 

DJ Jones (28, GA) is the slashing type of player that makes you stop and watch every time he comes to the plate.  Athletically, he does most everything on the field with relative ease and with his offensive upside, he will be a star for the East Cobb Astros.  In my look, the 6-0/170 infielder started off the day by unleashing on a fastball middle in and depositing it deep over the right field wall at Roger Dean Stadium.  With loose, quick hands and he produces easy power for a player his size and the power/speed combo is fun to think about.  With smooth hands and quick feet on the clay, Jones will have no problem sticking at short stop at the next level.  Jones, who recently committed to Vanderbilt, finished his time in Jupiter with an OBP of .375 and an OPS of 1.042.   

-Craig Cozart

Terrell Hampton-Hall (2029, C, Chicago, Ill.) didn't just play up one year, but two, as he found himself as a steady component in the MLB Breakthrough lineup. While he only picked up a pair of knocks, both doubles, one of them was an unforgettable swing as he banged a ball high off of the batter's eye, sending an eye-opening double 434-feet away with a 99 mph exit velocity, proving what he's capable of creating is truly something special.

Derek Vazquez (2028, SS, Charlotte, N.C.) was a key piece to SBA's run into the championship game, slashing .375/.483/1.108 over the course of 10 games. The uncommitted shortstop lived on the barrel throughout the weekend, producing high exit velocities throughout while also showing off a rather advanced approach at the dish. For as good as the bat is, he's equally impressive in the dirt with advanced footwork and plenty of arm to complete the long throw. 

Isaiah Cador (2028, 2B, McDonough, Ga.) gave his verbal commitment to Head Coach Rob Vaughn and the Alabama coaching staff shortly after competing in Jupiter, where his lightning quick left-handed stroke was once again on display. Whether the matchup was against a left-handed arm or a right-handed one, Cador found the barrel in a loud way, spinning on pitches with ease while showing truly game-changing speed on the bases. He swiped 4 bases and has continued to show as a real top-of-the-order type threat. 

-Troy Sutherland

Kam Gillespie (‘28, SS/OF, Kansas City, Mo.) continued to impress with his offensive approach in Jupiter, finishing 4-for-13 (.308) with seven walks, seven runs scored, and a .550 on-base percentage. The Oklahoma commit has a simple left-handed swing and a strong understanding of the strike zone, consistently putting together quality at-bats. Gillespie's athleticism adds another element to his game, with the speed to create opportunities on the bases and the ability to put pressure on opposing defenses. His advanced approach and athleticism give him multiple ways to impact a game, with considerable upside remaining in his offensive profile.


Peter Pignatiello (‘28, SS, Wheaton, Ill.) finished 4-for-14 (.286) with a double and three walks during his time in Jupiter. The Clemson commit features a balanced left-handed swing with good rhythm, a repeatable stroke and bat speed. He's shown a knack for finding the barrel and an ability to make adjustments at the plate, reflecting his strong bat-to-ball skills. There's a lot to like about his offensive profile as he continues to build on his success heading into next year.

Connor York (‘28, SS/RHP, Knoxville, Tenn.) brings an athletic profile with offensive upside to the 2028 class. The Mississippi State commit has displayed quick hands, a good feel for the barrel and impressive bat speed throughout the summer. He consistently produced at the plate and put together a strong offensive campaign heading into Jupiter. Although his offensive numbers were quieter during pool play, York still showed the athleticism that has made him a highly regarded national prospect. On the mound, he turned in a solid outing, striking out three without issuing a walk across two innings and running his fastball up to 92 mph. While his offensive potential remains a major part of his profile, his present arm strength leaves open the possibility of a two-way role at the next level as he continues to develop.

- Donovan May
 

Alejandro Cartagena (2029 Allentown, PA) has certainly sent waves through the 2029 class not only as one of the top LHP prospects in the Northeast region, but in the entire country. Still at just 15 years old, the 5-foot-8, 170 pound lefty has more than held his own at a number of premier events this Summer/Fall, and Jupiter was no different. Heading into his Sophomore year, Cartagena features an upper 80s FB that can tick into the 90s with plenty of natural run & sink on display. He posted a sub 1.00 ERA in the calendar year and currently sits as the #1 LHP in PA for the ‘29 class and #80 nationally.

Rutgers commit Braden Cox (2028 Sea Girt, NJ) seems to perform day in and day out, and was once again a factor for Ghost down in Jupiter. The 6-foot-3, 200 pound prospect could have fit a number of spotlight articles that we’ve been running over the past week, but he’s a perfect match for the next wave considering he’s still just 16 years old and will almost certainly have another run next October as one of the premier names in the ‘28 class. Cox finished this years’ Jupiter run with a .400 AVG, reaching safely in 7 of 10 PA and was a constant headache for opponents at the dish per usual. He wraps up his 2026 season with a .436 OBP and flashes both contact and power tools that will continue to be prominent come Spring.
 
-AJ Denny


Jhon Rodriguez (2028, Fort Myers, Fl.) had a strong showing the week prior at Underclass WWBA in Fort Myers and followed with another dominant appearance in Jupiter. The right-hander entered out of the bullpen in the third inning of a close game and proved crucial in what turned out to be a narrow victory. Rodriguez threw three â…“ innings, surrendering only one hit and no earned runs, striking out four. The heater was a true bat-misser, playing up in the zone with carry at 90-93. The Georgia Tech commit mixed in a slider at 77-78 as well as a change that pairs well with the fastball. He showed a ton of confidence and poise on the mound to go along with the stuff.

Nathan Handley-White (2029, Bradenton, Fl.) made a short but loud appearance on the mound for USA Prime National 18U. The young right-hander needed just 10 pitches to get through a three up, three down inning, striking out one. Handley-White throws a heavy fastball at 89-90, powering it downhill with heavy angle. He showed both a slider at 77-78 and a changeup at 83 to pair. The velocity comes easy from the strong and physical 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame. Handley-White has a bright future with the makings of a power repertoire.


Reese Parker (2029, Saucier, Miss.) is the #1 ranked player in Mississippi in the 2029 class and played up in Jupiter for East Coast Sox 2027 Franchise. The left-handed stick collected two hits over six at-bats and made the count, driving in a run on each knock. Parker stepped up to the plate in the sixth inning as a pinch-hitter in a 5-5 tie game, coming through in the clutch to deliver a go-ahead knock, smacking a 92-MPH fastball into right field. The bat is advanced and he raked all year long, finishing the year batting .600 over 23 PG games (55 AB).

-Kyler Peterson

Tyler Caperton (2028, Brandy Station, Va.) was excellent at Underclass WWBA in Fort Myers the week prior to Jupiter and followed it up with a quality performance at the biggest tournament in amateur baseball. The 6-foot, 152-pound switch hitting shortstop has elite barrel skills and consistently showed it off against premium velocity in Jupiter. He can really handle the barrel and has all the tools to be able to play on the dirt as well. While not the most physically imposing body-wise, he’s got loud tools and will have a bunch of scouts at his games next year.

Peyton Tarlton (2028, Indian Trail, N.C.) showed off his ability in the clutch moments deep into the event as he launched a loud homer to the pull-side in the championship game. It’s a free-flowing left-handed swing with feel to lift the baseball with authority. The power projects to get even better and it’s a swing geared to do damage. It’s another name that’s highlighted from a stacked SBA Bolts National 2028 group and they have a strong chance to remain a force next year.

Recent Auburn commit Rylan Farlow (2028, Evans, Ga.) was one of my personal favorites in Jupiter in terms of arms. It’s a prototype build at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds and the stuff is super easy. It’s a low-90s fastball and it comes out so good from a loose arm. There’s real confidence spinning the baseball as well as turning it over. The movement patterns are elite and the velocity should only continue trending in the right direction. He checks a ton of boxes as a young right-handed pitching prospect and will be a name to monitor in the ‘28 class.

Tzu-Chiao Ou (2029, Peachtree Corners, Ga.) came in relief for USA Prime, backing up Farlow ad looked excellent across four innings. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander was a revelation in Jupiter and was the first look at him for a lot of people. All that were there won’t forget this, running it up to 94 mph in his first PG event and dominating a strong lineup, striking out seven. He immediately becomes one of the harder throwers in the ‘29 class and in one outing showed the industry he’s one of the best pitching prospects in the class.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA
Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

He worked five innings while punching out ten opposing hitters. The fastball topped out at 86 mph and sat in the 82-85 mph range most of the game. His breaking ball was his primary off-speed, living 72-75 mph. Weiss keeps his body under control throughout his delivery, helping him with his good command on the mound.

The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter.

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars Gets your reads in now because by the time you reach the end, some of the talent in this article might be giving their commitments to a college somewhere across the country. Every player below did something that caught out scout's eye and should certainly be on the radar for college coaches, if they aren't already.  Braxton Sykes (2028, Brunswick, Ga.) tossed a total of six innings down in Jupiter, collecting six strikeouts while failing to allow either a hit or earned run during his tenure on the mound. The 6-foot-2 right-hander showcased an impressive three-pitch mix with excellent feel to locate in every part of the strike zone.
