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. His fastball lived in the mid- to upper-80s mph range with more velocity to project for as Sykes continues to add strength and physically mature in the offseason.

Peyton Price (2027, Mechanicsburg, Pa.) showed off an intriguing mix in Jupiter, working off a low-90s heater and tight curveball that induced plenty of empty swings. The 6-foot right-hander really competes on the mound and showed advanced feel for sequencing his mix. As a 2027 arm still on the board, the Pennsylvania native Price will likely find a home in the coming months.


Nathan Zdenovec (2028, Woodridge, Ill.) turned in a clean outing down in Jupiter last week, collecting nine punchouts while allowing just two base runners through 4.1 innings of work. The 6-foot-2 left-hander kept his fastball in the mid-80s, touching 87 mph with arm-side run and precise location on the edges of the strike zone. He landed his tight two-plane slider at will, showing comfortability doubling and tripling up with the breaking pitch. Zdenovec is one of the more dynamic uncommitted midwest arms left on the board with serious swing-and-miss stuff.

-Anthony Gambardella 

Eli Leone (2027, Las Vegas, Nev.) caught my attention across a couple of different Jupiter looks, getting off some strong hacks while flashing high-end athleticism. There's plenty to like in the offensive foundation, with natural rhythm to the swing, quickness in the hands and the ability to work the barrel on a clean path through the zone with some all-fields ability. It's a medium sized wiry frame with considerable room to add strength, giving the offensive profile some upside as he continues to mature physically. He's an easy plus runner whose speed plays on the bases, while that athleticism translates well to the dirt where he shows quality actions and the defensive ingredients to stick in the middle infield long term. Could be a strong late add for a program.

Colton Francisco (2029, Minooka, Ill.) made a strong first impression in my in-person looks last week consistently getting off quality swings where there is some real bat-to-ball ability and just feel for the barrel. It's not just a one-tournament showing either, as he's performed at the Windy City Elite Championship, UBC, Champions Cup and WWBA Underclass, compiling a .327/.486/.655 slash with just a 9.5% whiff rate across those events. There's a lot to like with the offensive foundation, especially for a young hitter who already shows this level of contact ability with some impact to match. The frame remains wiry with plenty of physical projection, while the swing itself works short-to-long with the ability to create lift out front and drive it. A strong combination of present barrel skills and some offensive upside to buy into.

Tyler Krasner (2028, Cooper City, FL). Krasner’s strong Jupiter showing was the culmination of several quality outings on the PG circuit, having been mentioned in multiple scout notes throughout the year and finished his '26 with 4.2 dominant innings in front of me. The uncommitted 6-foot-3 right-hander has a live arm that works loose into a lower three-quarter slot with a bit of deception to the delivery. The fastball has been up to 92 in our staff looks, showing quality arm-side life, while a sharp upper-70s slider and fading changeup round out a solid three-pitch mix. There's feel for sequencing his arsenal and a strong ability to fill the zone, throwing 65% strikes across all his PG events this year. Overall he posted a 2.52 ERA over 16.2 innings with 22 strikeouts. Easily one of the better ‘28 uncommitted arms I saw that whole week.

-Joey Cohen


Liam Bantau, RHP/SS, Rancho Cordova, Calif. | SBA/Marlins Scout (2027)

Still uncommitted, Bantau is a name for college programs and pro teams to keep on their radar.  The arm strength, positional versatility and upside give him a chance to attract attention on both sides of the ball. Bantau has a projectable frame with room to add strength and brings intriguing two-way potential as a primary shortstop and switch hitter. In a one-inning look on the mound, he ran his fastball up to 95 mph. The heater has life and plays up with his size and arm slot, while his developing 73 mph 12-to-6 curveball showed shape and potential as he continues to refine its command and consistency. The jump in velocity from previous readings in the low 90s adds to the intrigue.

Kamden Johnston, RHP, Frankfort, Ill. Chicago Scouts Association (2028)

Uncommitted for now, Johnston has the tools, pitch mix and early ranking to make him one to watch as the 2028 recruiting picture takes shape. Johnston turned in four no-hit innings, striking out six on 78 pitches. He works with a low-effort delivery and ran his fastball up to 90 mph, pairing it with a breaking ball that generates swings and misses. Ranked the No. 6 right-handed pitcher in Illinois for his class, he’s a high follow with plenty of time to keep developing.

Quinton Hill, OF, Berkeley, Calif. Top Tier Roos American (2027) 

Uncommitted for now, Hill offers the athleticism, center-field tools and developing impact bat that make him an intriguing and necessary follow for college programs. An athletic, projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pound outfielder with present strength and room to add more. He shows quick, strong hands and a direct path to the ball, producing consistent barrel contact, showing above-average bat speed and impact. A plus runner with a 6.72-second 60-yard dash, Hill profiles well in center field, where his range and solid arm add value. His two-way background only strengthens his overall appeal.

-Steve Doherty


Caden Lauridsen (’27, Santa Ana, Calif.)- the 6-foot-2, 190-pound right-handed pitcher from Foothill High School ran the fastball up to 93 mph and sat in the low-90s over a three-inning start for TB SoCal Scout. With a coiled lift and high three-quarters slot, the fastball showed life through the zone at the top rail and steep angle at the bottom of the zone. The velocity played up from his high slot and deception to release with spin rates north of 2200 RPM. Lauridsen worked inline down the slope from the first base side of the rubber and controlled the zone at a 61% strike rate over his 44-pitch outing. He paired the riding fastball with a curveball that showed late bite and 12/6 depth in the 74-78 mph range with spins up to 2400 RPM. He flashed a changeup around 80 mph to round out the pitch arsenal. A durable frame with a north/south type arsenal and starter profile, Lauridsen would bring a wealth of talent to a pitching staff at the next level. 


Jaden Davis (’27, Tyler, Texas)- the 6-foot-4, 180-pound right-handed pitcher came on in relief for Texas Brigade 2027- Gafford and provided three dominant innings of work against a talented Chicago White Sox Scout Team. A senior at Texas Sports Academy- Dynamic Prep, Davis ran the fastball up to 91 mph from a deceptive low three-quarters slot to finish with five strikeouts and no hits allowed over his 37-pitch outing. An athletic mover down the slope who repeats the delivery and pounds the zone with a fastball/slider mix that adds value to any pitching staff. Davis carries a 0.75 ERA over 9 and 1/3 innings pitched this season with 12 strikeouts.   

Brennen McGowen (’27, Iron City, Ga.)- the 6-foot-3, 172-pound right-handed pitcher tossed three shutout innings in a start for Mafia Boys American. The Seminole County prep right-hander struck out five and allowed only one hit and a walk over the 43-pitch outing. He pounded the zone at a 60% strike rate while running the fastball up to 89 mph and pairing it with a breaking ball in the low-70s to avoid barrels and induce weak contact. He added and subtracted on his 2-seam fastball with sink in early counts and then put hitters away with four strikeouts via the 4-seam fastball in the high-80s. McGowen is a strike thrower who moves the ball around the zone and challenges hitters with a 27-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio during the ‘26 PG season. His lean frame and repeatable delivery projects to add size and increased velocity moving forward. Couple that with his present feel to execute pitches and field the position, and McGowen fits the mold as an uncommitted arm that is going to contribute to a program in multiple roles at the next level.  

-Jason Phillips


Franyer Ortiz (2028, Statesboro, Ga.) impressed in his start on day four of Jupiter, working four-innings, allowing three hits, one run and struck out seven.  The right-hander was around the zone consistently, only walking two and throwing strikes at a 60% clip.  He has an athletic frame at 5-foot-11, 160-pounds with an athletic operation.  He has a deceptively quick, loose arm and had the fastball up to 92 with run and ride.  He threw three quality pitches for strikes during the outing and will be a name to watch this time next Fall.

Peyton Burgess (2028 Goodyear, Ariz.) The primary backstop has a 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame, is a willing blocker with a strong, accurate arm.  He hits from the left side showcasing bat-to-ball skill and flashes power to all-fields.  He finished with a .333 average in Jupiter with a .455 on base percentage. 

Parks Kronk Hawley (2027, San Diego, Calif.) finished with a .444 average, .583 OBP and a 1.694 OPS over four games in Jupiter, hitting a double, a triple, a home run and drove in three.  He is an athlete with an athletic frame at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, showcasing defensive versatility.  He consistently performs on big stages and the WWBA was no exception.

-Scott Rankin

Carson Roy (2027, McKinney, Texas) had a loud week at the plate for his squad and showed all the reasons for him to get a big-time commitment. They say going to Jupiter can make or break your stock and if anyone made it, it was Roy. Roy opened up the tournament with a bang sending a rocket out of the park on a line that came off his barrel with an exit velo of 105. He would hit another ball later on with an EV of 100. To sum up, Roy finished the week going 4-6 while scoring five runs, drove in four, and walked three times while striking out zero times. Roy can really hit and it’s line drive contact to all fields. Ability to impact it is clearly there and ability to handle velo is also there. This is a big time bat that remains uncommitted and should not be for long as he certainly made a name for himself in Jupiter.

Noah Adkins (2027, Oviedo, Florida) showed a lot to like off the bump and came out pumping 87-92 with his fastball throwing both a 4-seam and sinker. Both pitches were effective in the zone and displayed different types of life altogether. He went to a curve in the 74-78 range with sharp late break and good depth to it. Also showed a change in the low-80s with drop and mimics arm speed. It’s a quality 3-pitch mix with good feel to locate and miss bats. Adkins stands in at 6-foot-3 with some projection remaining still and showed absolutely no reason for him to remain uncommitted as he can certainly pitch at the next level.

Ka'Alekahi Kuhaulua (2027, Waimanalo, Hawaii) was a true spark plug atop the lineup for his squad and helped make a deep run into the playoffs. Although the numbers don’t necessarily scream that he had a loud week at the plate, he showed a lot of things to like. Kuhaulua is a high-end athlete who checks a lot of boxes and does a number of things right. He is tooled up and profiles well atop the order in any given lineup. He can turn around velo and has some power to go with it. The bat to ball should play as well. In the field, he can cover ground out in center and should stick up the middle as he can really move and track. Just a high-end athlete on both sides of the ball and will be getting plenty of looks come Spring. There is no doubt in my mind that Kuhaulua belongs at the next level and should find a home soon.

-Geoff Billock

2027 1B Beau Daniel (Nokomis, Fla.) currently stands at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds with present physicality throughout that translates offensively. From the right side of the plate the hands are quick and strong through the zone, allowing him to create loud, hard contact and drive the ball with intent. During one of his at-bats in the playoffs he came through with a walk-off solo home run that was hammered over the left field-center field wall with an exit velocity of 101 mph. Around the bag defensively at first base is where he really stands out though as the hands are confident, shows quality footwork to get in the right position, and picks up his infielders on low throws with plenty of scoops and picks to finish off the play for the out. 

2027 RHP Landon Palmateer (Orange City, Fla.) currently stands at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds on a long, lean frame that projects. Quick, loose arm that features a fastball up to 90 mph, mostly sitting 87-89. Generated multiple swings and misses with the fastball while mixing in both a curveball with tighter spin in the low 70s along with a slider in the mid 70s that shows depth, late action. Present feel to throw his full arsenal for strikes, any part of the count. Can really get into a groove and put away a lineup in quick order. Struck out nine in eight total innings of work. Look for another jump in velocity this upcoming spring that will elevate his overall stuff, make him a very intriguing and big upside add for a program.

2028 LHP Mackail Tislow (Avon, Ind.) currently stands at 6-foot-2, 177 pounds on a projectable frame that will continue to fill out. Loose, quick arm that works from a simple windup and looks to get downhill on the delivery. Mixed up his arsenal well against a tough lineup, keeping them guessing and off-balanced. The fastball was up to 87 mph, mostly sitting 83-86 with more in there but it was his off-speed stuff that shows real promise for his overall repertoire. Along with the slider in the mid 70s he also works in a cutter in the upper 70s and a low 80s changeup that shows fade, diving action. An arm that has a chance to make a big jump in the overall rankings over the next 6-8 months. 

-Mike Maerz
 

Ty Schmeidler (2027, Hays, Kan.) I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is gone before this article is published. A primary left-handed pitcher that threw 4 scoreless innings allowing just base runners and striking out 5 during his Jupiter outing. Command of an upper 80’s fastball, depth to a mid 70’s breaking ball and a clear feel to pitch and keep hitters off balance. Effective and a strike thrower from the left side. Showed the potential 2-way ability with a double off the right field fence as well. Should have plenty of interest, especially after this fall outing.

Alex Elizondo (2027, Murrieta, Calif.) a rare arm talent to be uncommitted at this point. Showed a fastball up to 95 in Jupiter this year and power vertical depth breaking ball that got into the low 80s. All from a 6-foot-5 athletic pitching frame. 2 scoreless outing in Jupiter spanning 3.1 innings. Looks to be a considerable velo jump from the summer. One of the hardest throwing uncommitted pitchers at this years event.
 

Stone Trigg (2027, Las Vegas, Nev.) an uncommitted outfielder that really impressed all tournament and had some huge hits along the way. Hit .500 (7-for-14) with 3 extra base hits and 4 stolen bases for the tournament. 2 walk-off hits including a 2 run walk-off triple in bracket play. Athletic with bat speed, a ton of confidence at the plate and a knack for coming thru in big spots. A player that will be a great late addition to a program.
 
-Blaine Peterson

Cael Loquasto, MIF, 2028

With so much of the game being focused purely on offense nowadays, Cael Loquasto (28, Ga.) first caught my attention with his actions and instincts on the clay.  Handling shortstop for the 6-4-3 DP Baseball Academy Cougars, Loquasto comes across as a blue-collar player that does something every game to give his club a chance to win.  The 6-3/185 junior has advanced feel for the speed of the game and is deceptively rangy both to his left and right.  He creates good angles, the glove is smooth and his arm allows him to make any play the spot may demand.  All that being said, his offense should not go overlooked as he grinds out at bats, uses the middle of the field and showed the ability to drive the ball with two-strikes.  His power projects long term and the footspeed is a solid tool as well, allowing him to take the extra-base when necessary.  Loquasto finished his week in Jupiter batting .500 with an OBP of .571 while accumulating an OPS of 1.071 at the end. 


Mason Ryder, C, 2028

Mason Ryder (28, Fla.) is a strong, well-built 5-11/190 catcher who put together an impressive week for USG/Elev8 Rawlings National.   He is thick in the lower-half, and this gives him the durability you look for behind the dish and helps him generate power with the stick.  While his tools aren’t necessarily twitchy, he comes across as a grinder and impacts the game significantly with the bat and the glove.  His skillset is solid across the board and displays all the action you need to see to be convinced he will have no problem sticking behind the dish at the next level.  The bat really stood out, hitting for average and flashing power as well as he lets his hands deliver the barrel.  He finished the event batting an impressive .600 with an OBP of .714 and rounded it his run with an insane 2.514 OPS.  Ryder is uncommitted but should get plenty of interest as an offensive catcher in the coming months.  
  
-Craig Cozart

Zowen Watson (‘27 CA)- It is becoming far less uncommon for players of this caliber to be on the market with how classes reshuffle at the end of the fall, but Watson should be fielding calls from around the country now that he is uncommitted once again. From a compact athletic build, he controls the strike zone well and has superb bat to ball ability from the right side. Talented defender that will no doubt stick on the dirt up the middle. Shined throughout the WWBA Worlds and should have no problem finding his new collegiate home. 

Griffin Snider (‘27 IN) Came in for relief stint and really impressed. It's a tall lean frame with room to add. Loose arm that works and produces fastball velocities up to 94. Comes out super well and has all the makings of a plus operation with power arsenal traits.  Flashed some feel to spin but if the off-speed arsenal makes strides, he has division 1 starter upside and still on the market at the end of the fall. 

Chase Gothrup (‘27 IN) Struck out 9 over 6 strong innings. It's a linear operation with good tempo down the slope. Lived in the upper 80s with feel to mix and pitch backwards as necessary. Kept a strong lineup quiet with a polished mix that forced loads of whiffs and weak contact. If he can stack outings like this one at WWBA Worlds, there’s no chance he continues to slip through the cracks as a very high-level Midwest arm that doesn’t have a home. 

-Troy Sutherland


Jaden Leshinsky (‘27, RHP, Fair Lawn, N.J.) offers an intriguing combination of physicality and arm strength as an uncommitted prospect in the 2027 class. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound right-hander worked in the upper 80s to low 90s with his fastball, topping out at 94 mph while generating arm-side run. His quick arm and ability to pair the heater with a mid-to-upper-70s slider gave him a solid two-pitch foundation during his outings in Jupiter. Leshinsky allowed just one hit across three innings at the event while striking out three and surrendering no earned runs. His ability to miss bats, paired with an imposing frame and present arm strength, makes him an appealing addition to a program looking to bolster their pitching staff.

Jude Dravecky (‘27, RHP, Scottsdale, Ariz.) offers an athletic, quick-twitch profile on the mound. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound right-hander pairs a quick arm with a three-pitch mix, working with a fastball in the 87-91 mph range that topped out at 94 mph in Jupiter. He complemented the heater with a curveball at 77-80 mph and a slider at 78-80 mph. Dravecky held a talented Canes Midwest National lineup hitless across two innings while striking out two, showing he could navigate a quality lineup with his three-pitch mix. His mobility, present strength and arm speed suggest there could be more velocity to unlock, making him an intriguing option for college programs looking to add to their 2027 recruiting class.

- Donovan May
 
Max Wilkerson (2028 Saint Johns, FL) should have plenty of coaches calling after his impressive performance down in Jupiter, posting a .300 AVG while showing off projectable juice on the week. The 5-foot-10, 160 pound prospect has plenty of tools to dream on with more strength on the way, only adding to the intrigue and future potential. He produces effortless jump off the barrel with a repeatable, low effort stroke from the left side and is also a reliable defensive piece in the middle INF. 


Hudson Olive (2028 Madison, AL) tossed 5.2 innings of one run baseball over his two appearances on the bump for Northeast Pride and certainly had plenty of important eyes on him. The 6-foot-3, 188 pound RHP ran the FB up to 90 mph with one of the higher velo ceilings on display, flashing a loose & whippy arm action releasing from an over the top slot. He commanded both a CB & CH in the arsenal and located effectively in both outings. Don’t be surprised if the Alabama kid finds a home before the Fall is over.

-AJ Denny


Eli Mathis (2028, Jonesboro, Ark.) toed the rubber for East Coast Sox 2027 Franchise in a playoff start in Jupiter and really impressed. The right-hander stands at an imposing 6-foot-5, 210-pounds with plenty of projection remaining. The Arkansas native has already made significant strides in the velocity department. Mathis sat in the 85-88 range in Jupiter, up from 81-83 in February at the National Indoor Showcase. The slider is the bread and butter, operating in the upper-70s. Mathis has great feel and confidence to spin the pitch in any count, showing sharp sweeping action. He is well-coordinated for his size and the delivery is very simple. The arm is clean and compact through the back, releasing from a mid-¾ slot. Mathis finished striking out six over two â…” innings while not allowing an earned run. With a physical frame, feel to spin, a clean delivery, and present pitchability, it’s easy to project moving forward.


Jackson Gable (2028, Middletown, Dela.) is another young righty who put on a show in Jupiter. Coming in on relief for Dirtbags 2028 National in the middle of the third inning, he took the ball and finished the game. Gable would go on to throw three â…“ scoreless innings of relief in dominant fashion, striking out eight total. The right-hander used mostly his heater to rip through a talented lineup and draw tons of whiff. The fastball lived at 87-91 and features big riding life, climbing through the zone to miss bats. Gable gets down the slope with great extension to go with a low release height, allowing for deception and for the fastball to play especially well. The Delaware native mixed in an occasional changeup to keep hitter’s timing off, showing some nice depth to it. He attacked the zone and challenged heaters constantly, walking only one while throwing 68% strikes over the 54-pitch outing.

‘27 RHP Jaxson Weiss (IL) pitched well in his 5 innings and put up some eye popping strikeout numbers. He punched out 10 and allowed only 2ER. FB T86 early and flashed a BB 72-75. #WCFinale https://t.co/M8GtCUgxyS — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) October 17, 2026 Jaxson Weiss (2027, New Lennox, Ill.) a right-handed pitcher put up big strikeout numbers in his start on Saturday. 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. He uses his lower half well with a nice leg drive and gets his hips through, guiding his backside. He pitched with confidence and stayed ahead of hitters most of the game. Hayden...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
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. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

Big Offense Propels TBT/FTB to Title

Big Offense Wins TBT/FTB Phillies Scout WWBA Freshman Title Runs scoring in every inning led to the TBT/FTB Phillies Scout Team taking home the 2026 PG WWBA Freshman World Championship - winning over Canes National 15U 10-5. It had been a long week in West Palm Beach for the freshmen coming in from around the country to go up against the best of the best. While they had gotten to play on the backfields during the whole tournament, the players who made it to the championship game got to play it in the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches Stadium. TBT/FTB showed their defensive strength right away - executing quickly to retire each of the first three batters. With the bats in their hands, they also showed speed to deliver - with Luca Briggs batting Trey Vandergriff in for the first run of the game and Kingston George quickly plating Briggs with a double in the next at-bat. In the first at-bat of...

‘31 Ryan Spann (GA) obliterates this ball for a solo HR 💣. Ball jumps off barrel & shows the juice and & PS impact. 3x @PGSelectFest alum. #BeastOfTheEast @PG_Georgia https://t.co/TgVGPfDRYc — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 10, 2026 Ryan Spann (2031, Warner Robins, Ga.) took home MVP honors after a standout weekend and finishing as the number one player on the top performers list. The top player from Georgia and number two player in the country led all performers in home runs (2) and tallied 7 RBIs on his way to a .400 average. The overall profile on Spann is super advanced for the age with electric offensive upside and one of if not the prettiest swing in the class.
