Stars Being Stars



These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in Fort Myers were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them! 

Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) batted leadoff and stuck at the hot corner for Texas Twelve Red Sox 2028 in Fort Myers. The Texas native has the looks a young left-handed power bat and the swing is built for it. Langerhans produces easy bat speed, delivering a fast and leveraged barrel through the zone. He creates backspin and uses the ground well, really getting into the legs. The infielder has excellent power projection and took comfortable, intentful cuts in the box. Langerhans got the job done at the top of the order throughout the tournament and as the son of a former 11-year big leaguer Ryan, he certainly has the pedigree to match. He went 6-for-13 (.462) with three extra-base hits and six RBI, including a long pull side homer. Still uncommitted, the left-handed stick has excellent offensive projection.

Jhon Rodriguez (2028, Fort Myers, Fla.) impressed over the summer on the mound, earning a recent commitment to Georgia Tech. He carried that success into the fall, having loud outing in Fort Myers and a week later once again in Jupiter. The right-hander struck out six total over two â…” innings, walking only one with plenty of strikes throughout. Rodriguez’ fastball is a bat-misser, using it often and working in the 89-92 range. The heater has explosive life, climbing through the zone with occasional cut as well. The changeup at 83-85 plays well off the pitch and he replicates arm speed on it, featuring heavy fade, not afraid to throw to right-on-right. The slider operated mostly in the 74-78 range, flashing some nice tilt and sweep. Rodriguez is a power right-hander with a lightning fast arm, capable of overpowering guys with the fastball while also showing a pair of intriguing secondaries.

Alec Cabrera (2028, Wellington, Fla.) had an extremely loud fall that began at Underclass where he played for XE9 Scout Team 2028 powered by Imperative Services. The shortstop was perfect on the tournament, going 6-for-6 with a pair of doubles and two walks. The left-handed bat possesses special bat-to-ball skills with natural feel for the barrel. The approach is beyond his years, hunting for his pitch and knowing what he’s looking for. Cabrera showed all fields impact, showing tons of comfort going backside with juice coming off, producing two 100+ EV’s on barrels in game one. The swing is smooth with rhythm, creating whip with a fast barrel. The power has already proven to show in game and the ball explodes coming off. The uncommitted bat has adjustability and the hitter traits are real.

-Kyler Peterson


The #1 player in the state of MD certainly did not disappoint at Underclass as Jason Marll Jr (2028 Catonsville, Mary.) once again showed off top of the class traits. Posting a 1.255 OPS, the 6-foot-1, 195 pound prospect consistently impacted the baseball with authority to the middle / pull side of the field and flashed present speed tool both on the bases and defensively. He has loud metrics as a 6.72 runner and 90 mph from the OF, with exit velos reaching into the triple digits with ease. 

College of Charleston commit Everest King (2028 Lancaster, S.C.) was lights out for his Orioles Scout squad on the bump, tossing 3.1 innings of one hit, no run baseball with the FB touching 92 mph. The 6-foot, 185 pound righty has plenty to like both in the velocity and spin departments, with the breaker registering in the 2400s rpm flashing advanced command of the arsenal overall. He has a high velo ceiling for the future and well deservedly sits as the #1 ranked RHP in SC for the ‘28 class.

Ryan Maguire (2029 Aliso Viejo. Calif.) sits as a T50 arm in the nation for the ‘29 class and did not disappoint for TB SoCal, chucking four easy innings of shutout baseball at Underclass with velo up to 92 mph. Even as a ‘29 prospect, the 6-foot-1, 195 pound righty showed he more than belonged, flashing intriguing spin profile on a two-plane breaker into the 2500s rpm. He threw strikes at a 75% clip and more importantly showed an overall feel for the game with deep knowledge of how to pitch, which would explain why he didn’t give up an earned run in the 2026 calendar year.

-AJ Denny

2028 RHP Nolan Taylor (Denver, Colo.) The Duke commit currently stands at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds on a tall, projectable frame. The ball really jumps out of his hand as he features a fastball up to 94 mph, mostly sitting 90-93 with 2400+ RPM. Gets on hitters quick and induces plenty of swings and misses with its late life. Also mixed in an upper 70s slider with hard, late action and a 75-77 mph changeup with fade that creates off-balance swings. Shows a quality mix of his off-speed stuff, especially with two strikes. Power arm that will continue to rise in the national rankings for his class. 

2028 OF Thomas Shank (Castle Pines, Colo.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds on an athletic frame with present strength throughout. Really can make an impact from the left side of the plate whether it be in the form of XBHs or simply driving the ball over the wall. Loose, fast hands with a present feel for the barrel that generates above average bat speed, present juice. Works in rhythm, stays on time consistently. Above average runner as well who creates pressure on the base paths. Top of the order hitter. 

2028 IF Braylon Disla (Wimauma, Fla.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot, 185 pounds with present physicality, notably in the lower half. Above average athleticism. The two-way standout continued to make an impact both offensively and on the mound. From the left side of the plate he batted a standout .462 along with a .563 OBP as he was a pivotal part of their lineup. The hands are quick and loose through the zone which translates to hard line drives into both gaps. On the mound he sits in the mid 80s with his fastball while offering a changeup, slider, and curveball to round his full arsenal. Works from a simple windup and gets outs. 

-Mike Maerz

Kade Maltz (2028, Key West, Fla.) showed the two-way upside all event for CBU 2028 Scout Team Lawson. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went five innings with four strikeouts and spread three walks and a walk for one run. The arm accelerates through from a high three- quarter angle. The fastball was mid- 80s to low- 90s and topped out at 93 early with life through the zone and jump out of the hand. Paired it with a curveball that had 12-6 shape and feel to locate on both halves of the plate. Long and athletic 6-foot, 180-pound frame with more velocity in the tank and room to add strength. In the box, creates separation in the back shoulder and sinks into the back hip before uncoiling and leveraging the lower half. Smooth swing with a flatter bat plane and juice in the swing. Feel to get the arms extended and impacts the ball well, especially to the pull-side. The outfielder showed the power upside belting a loud two-run home run over the left field fence. Has been a consistent threat all weekend with six hits including a triple to go with the homer and has driven in four RBI. The North Carolina State commit is an exciting player that can impact the game on both sides of the ball.

Joseph Nystrom (2028, Alpharetta, Ga.) was a barrel machine all event for Smartense 17u The Show. The left-handed hitter starts from a spread stance with in-line feet and a high handset with a high back elbow, utilizes a negative leg lift trigger. Creates separation in the back shoulder and coils, uncoils well to create good bat speed and works through contact with a slightly uphill bat plane. Leverages the lower half well in the swing to create lift and loft. Showed the feel for the barrel with juice to the gaps. The shortstop showed the barrel accuracy all event collecting seven hits, including three doubles, to drive in seven RBI and showed feel to work at-bats with seven walks and came around to score five runs. The North Carolina State commit is an exciting player with a middle-of-the-order offensive profile.

Kaleb Foster (2028, Montgomery, Texas) was a force in the middle-of-the-order for West Coast Ghost National. Creates separation in the back shoulder and leverages the lower half well. Direct hand path with quick hands and solid bat speed with a heavy barrel to impact and drive the ball. Slightly uphill bat plane with feel to lift and easy juice, especially to the pull-side. The shortstop has a strong and compact 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame with solid gap-to-gap power upside and solid power upside. Has shown the barrel accuracy all event collecting seven hits with two doubles to drive in four RBI. Exciting player with feel for the barrel and strength throughout the frame.

-Marcus Thomas


Dayton Kellner (2028, Chandler, Ariz.) The 6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed hitter and infielder continued to produce for Trosky/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team 2028, collecting nine hits, including a triple and two home runs, while driving in six runs and scoring 10. Kellner showed easy power from the left side, consistently driving the ball for extra bases and putting pressure on opposing pitchers. His ability to pair that power with steady production helped him remain involved in the offense throughout the event. The combination of size, left-handed hitting, and proven run production makes him a standout bat in the 2028 class.

Kash Sissener (2028, Santa Clara, Utah) The 6-foot-3, 186-pound right-handed pitcher and hitter was productive on both sides of the ball for Trosky/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team 2028. At the plate, Sissener collected 10 hits, including three doubles and a home run, while driving in nine runs. He also tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four with a fastball up to 90 mph. His ability to generate offense while also missing bats on the mound makes him a valuable two-way option. Along with his size, Sissener has multiple tools to continue building on as he develops.
 

Jackson Schmidt (2028, Washington, D.C.) The 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-handed pitcher was dominant for Ole Liners 17U National, allowing just two hits over four scoreless innings while striking out nine without issuing a walk. Schmidt ran his fastball up to 93 mph with good life at the top of the zone and paired it with an 81 mph slider that showed tight spin, tilt, and bite. He worked with good tempo and consistently kept hitters off balance, generating swings and misses with both pitches. His ability to combine velocity, a quality breaking ball, and strike-throwing ability made him one of the standout arms of the event.

-Quinton Hall

Breakout Performers

Some of the players in this category are new names who came out looking like an entirely different player from what we had known, while others were already on the national landscape but did something to make a big jump from our last viewing.

Kenny Norris (2028, Severna Park, Mary.) entered out of the bullpen and showed a true power repertoire from the left side. The fastball sizzled in at 88-92 from a mid-¾ slot, blowing it by hitters and overpowering. Norris stands at a physical and imposing 6-foot-4, 220-pounds and pitches with a ton of confidence on the mound. The left-hander also showed a sharp sweeping slider at 78-82 that projects well. A Pitt commit, Norris is a high upside arm and the stuff is going going to climb.


Nico Sowers (2029, Pittsburgh, Penn.) took the mound for South Charlotte Panthers 2029 Marucci in game one of the playoffs and was just about as dominant as it gets. Playing up, the newly turned 15- year-old tossed a gem versus a strong lineup. Sowers tossed a complete game seven inning shutout, surrendering just three hits while striking out seven and walking just one. He filled up the zone and commanded his repertoire well, reaching 89 early and settling in the mid-80s and holding it. The fastball plays well and the curveball is a true weapon. It’s a downer hammer at 77-78, landing it nearly every time he threw it while drawing tons of whiff, biting hard late. Sowers throws the hook with conviction and has great feel for the pitch. The right-hander is a long and projectable 6-foot-4, 200-pounds and competed hard throughout the outing. Sowers ticked up to 91 the following week at Freshman World and is an exciting young arm to follow.

-Kyler Peterson

After performing well at 17U WWBA back in July, Jameson Mohler (2028 Glendale, Ariz.) once again made a name for himself at Underclass, finishing with a .556 AVG including a triple and pair of bombs. The 6-foot-1, 185 pound prospect has plenty of athleticism and projectable physicality on display with effortless jump off the barrel produced to all fields. He sits as a T500 prospect in the ‘28 class and a T5 catcher in the state of AZ, but should garner more attention heading into the Spring if Underclass was any indication.


Mason Valles (2028 Dana Point, Calif.) is the definition of a breakout prospect, as the 6-foot-3, 188 pound lefty touched 88 mph on the bump and flashed evident feel for both a SL and CH during his appearance for TB SoCal in just his 2nd career PG event. There’s plenty to dream on here for the 16 year old who has tons more to come in terms of frame projection / velocity. The operation is clean and deceptive with some crossfire to the delivery, only adding to the elements of intrigue for the relatively unknown prospect until this point. 

Currently a T1000 prospect, Josh Jenkins (2028 Winter Haven, Fla.) should see that ranking change in the near future after running it up to 90 this Fall with a big time performance at Underclass, tossing a CG shutout with only 3 H and no BB allowed, punching out 5. The 6-foot-1, 170 pound RHP generates natural running action to the heat with the ability to manipulate shape/spin in the arsenal, flashing evident command of the zone throwing strikes at a 72% clip. He posted a head-turning 0.62 ERA over 45 IP in 2026 and is certainly going to be a name to watch heading into Spring.

-AJ Denny

2028 C Banks Stevenson (Charlotte, N.C.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with present strength throughout, really translates offensively. From the left side of the plate he displays strong, fast hands that will barrel up pitches and drive them with intent. Level to slightly uphill finish allows him to create lift, generate hard hit line drives that go deep into right, right-center field. Stays quick and direct to the ball. Middle of the order bat that is suited to drive in runs as he finished with four RBI in three games during the event. Real power potential as well, notably to the pull side. 

2028 RHP Andrew Leister (Ravenel, N.C.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot, 195 pounds with strength in the lower half. Came out firing in relief, running the fastball up to 91 mph which was a notable jump from the summer. Works from a simple windup and stays balanced throughout his delivery, allowing him to stay in line. Mostly sat 88-90 with run while pairing it with a tight slider in the upper 70s. Notably used the slider with two strikes to finish off the opposing batter. Occasionally mixed in a low 80s changeup as well. An arm that won’t be on the board for too much longer. 

2028 MIF Tate Hagen (Sussex, Wisc.) Recent Bradley commit. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 155 pounds on a lean, athletic frame that will continue to fill out. From the right side of the plate he works from a simple approach with present bat speed, demonstrating the ability to spray the ball all over the field. Takes smart at-bats from the leadoff spot, working the count and looking for his pitch to drive. The frame projects for jumps in gap-to-gap power as he continues to add physicality. Above average runner who shows another gear when he gets going on the base paths.

-Mike Maerz

Noah Smith (2028, Sachse, Texas) helped lead the offense for TB Dallas 2028. The left-handed hitter creates separation in the back shoulder and sinks into the back hip before quick hands whip the barrel through the zone. Extends the arms through contact well with feel to get the barrel on the ball and impact it. Medium, athletic, 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame with room to add strength. Feel for the hands in the swing and consistently gets on plane and drives the ball well, especially to the pull-side. The shortstop showed the barrel accuracy with six hits with a double and home run to drive in seven RBI. Showed the speed when on base with eight stolen bases and came around to score 11 runs. The uncommitted hitter showed an exciting top-of-the-order offensive profile all event.

Dane Brown (2028, Homerville, Ga.) has been a force in the lineup for SBA Georgia to start pool play. The left-handed hitter creates separation in the back shoulder and whips the hands through from a slightly uphill bat plane. Quick hands in the swing with easy juice and feel to impact and drive the ball, especially to the pull-side. Feel for the barrel and can consistently create lift and loft to the ball. The outfielder has been on a tear all event with six hits and showed the feel to drive with three home runs and a triple to drive in five RBI. Easy power upside and strength in the 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. The Georgia Southern commit is an exciting player with a middle-of-the-order offensive profile.

Paxton Ingalls (2028, New Braunfels, Texas) showed the high upside in the box all event for Canes Southwest 17u Gold. The switch-handed hitter has quick hands and a slightly uphill bat plane. Compact swing with whip to the barrel and feel to use the whole field. Showed more juice from the right side with feel to leverage to impact and drive the ball with whip to the barrel. Athletic, lean 6-foot, 175-pound frame with room to add strength and more pull-side power potential. The shortstop collected four hits with two doubles to drive in an RBI. Showed the plate discipline with four walks and came around to score four runs. The Dartmouth commit is an exciting player with a top-of-the-order offensive profile.

-Marcus Thomas

Mark Douglas (2028, Santa Rosa, Calif.) The 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-handed pitcher and UCLA commit impressed for Trosky/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team 2028, combining for 5 2/3 scoreless innings across two outings. He allowed no hits while striking out seven without issuing a walk. Douglas ran his fastball up to 87 mph and mixed in a 77 mph slider and an 80 mph changeup. His three-pitch mix gave hitters different looks, and his ability to throw strikes with each offering helped him control both appearances. The results showed how effectively he can use his full arsenal to keep opposing lineups quiet.

Chase Potter (2028, Davie, Fla.) The 6-foot-1, 200-pound right-handed hitter and outfielder had a productive event for MCA - Bengals Baseball, collecting six hits, including a double, a triple, and two home runs, while driving in eight runs across six games. Potter showed the ability to drive the ball into the gaps and over the fence, creating extra-base damage in different ways. His power translated into run production throughout the event, making him a consistent threat in the lineup. The combination of a strong frame and the ability to produce across multiple games made him a fitting choice for the breakout category.


Jayden Allen (2028, Brooksville, Fla.) The 6-foot-3, 198-pound right-handed pitcher and hitter showed his two-way ability for USA Prime Tampa 17U Scout. Allen collected four hits, including two doubles, and drove in three runs across three games. On the mound, he threw five hitless innings, striking out five without issuing a walk while running his fastball up to 90 mph. His delivery was described as an easy operation, and he paired his fastball with an upper-70s slider that has plenty of lateral action. The combination of a repeatable-looking delivery, velocity, and production at the plate made him one of the more interesting two-way performers of the event.

Uncommitted...For Now

Attention college recruiters! This section is for you as the players down below are currently uncommitted and did more than a little something to catch the eye of our staff on site. Big bats, power arms and eye opening performances are detailed blow and could be the next big piece for your 2028 class. 


Chance Baisden (2028, Winter Springs, Fla.) has massive power upside and showed it off at Underclass. The first baseman is a physical presence in the box at 6-foot-4, 240-pounds with tons of strength. He showed off the juice on night one of the tournament, mashing an absolute no-doubter out to pull side in his very first at-bat. Baisden gave a ball a ride to the opposite field for a double later and makes consistent hard contact. The Florida native stays inside and really leverages the barrel with huge strength out front.
 
Tucker Waddell (2028, Black Hawk, S.D.) is an intriguing right-handed bat from South Dakota. The shortstop played for Spects National 2028 Friedrichs down in Florida and showed off the thump. Waddell crushed a loud three-run homer, connecting and sending a missile out to left field. He swings to do damage, turning the barrel over hard while creating length and leverage. The bat is quick and the power potential stands out.

Rider Cochrane (2028, Punta Gorda, Fla.) threw four dominant scoreless innings at Sophomore World and followed with a similar outing at Underclass for Ghost National ‘28. The towering 6-foot-7, 200-pound right-hander uses his length well and creates plus extension, living 87-91 with the fastball. Cochrane mixes in a sweeping slider at 73-77 as well as a fading changeup. The changeup proved to be effective to lefties and plays well off the heater. The righty has serious projection with lots of upside, stringing together a few strong appearances over the fall.

-Kyler Peterson

Kamauri Wilson (2028 Lakeland, Fla.) was constantly finding ways on base for his FBH Angels side during Underclass, finishing with a .421 AVG with the ability to generate impact to all fields. The 5-foot-8, 165 pound prospect is a well-rounded athlete with advanced barrel control and high contact tool on display, adding a speed threat on the bases for an additional dimension to his game. He hit .467 in 24 games this year and consistently provided value throughout the Summer / Fall, and should have his fair share of interest at the next level heading into his Junior year.


Whatever team ends up landing Brock Hamilton (2028 Flossmoor, Ill.) is getting an absolute unit, and one of, if not the top physical presences in terms of pure strength in the ‘28 class. Standing at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, Hamilton is a pitcher’s nightmare in the box, looking to do dangerous things to a baseball with effortless power and carry production on display. If he times you up, good luck, because chances are the ball isn’t coming back. 

-AJ Denny

2028 RHP Brody Barnes (Saint Johns, Fla.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 180 on a lean, long-limbed frame. Loose, quick arm that featured a fastball in the upper 80s, showing carry through the zone with still more in the tank. The curveball is what really compliments the fastball though as it shows tight spin and depth, inducing whiffs. Also will mix in an upper 70s changeup. Repeats well and stays in control throughout his outing. Don’t be surprised if Barnes is sitting low 90s this spring with an improvement on his secondary stuff as well. 

2028 RHP Noah Turner (Smyrna, Ga.) Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds with present strength. Quick arm and releases from a lower ¾ slot that creates some deception, timing issues for the opposing hitter. Present feel for his full arsenal, throws them all for strikes and mixes up his pitches well. The fastball touches 88 mph with run along with an above-average changeup with fade, late diving action and a slider in the mid 70s with late movement. Keeps hitters guessing and can rack up strikeouts in quick order once he gets rolling. 

-Mike Maerz

Dylan Fernandez (2028, Miami, Fla.) impressed on the mound for Franklin Scout Team/BTD Baseball during his three inning start on the mound. The right-handed pitcher collected four strikeouts and spread one hit and zero walks for one earned run allowed. Fernandez accelerates through from a three- quarter angle. The fastball was low-to-upper- 80s and topped out at 88 with good arm-side run. Paired it with a curveball with big 12-6 shape and solid vertical depth with feel to spin it well. Flashed a change-up. Creates good arm speed and whip through the delivery. Athletic, lean 6-foot-2, 189-pound frame with higher effort in the release with smoother actions through delivery and more velocity in the tank. The uncommitted arm is an exciting player with a solid two-pitch mix and feel to spin.

Eli Mathis (2028, Jonesboro, Ark.) was dominant on the mound for East Coast Sox 2028 Marucci. The right-handed pitcher went four one-hit, shutout innings with seven strikeouts and zero walks. The arm accelerates through from a tight high three- quarter angle. The fastball ran up to 89 with ride and carry through the zone and paired it with a tight 10-4 shaped slider that had solid two-plane break and excellent spin metrics, recorded spins into the 2900s. Showed feel to repeat the mechanics and prevent loud contact. Long and strong 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame with room to fill and more velocity in the tank. Exciting arm with starter traits and feel to spin both pitches.

Griffin Louthan (2028, Leesburg, Ga.) threw a gem on the mound for DA Jays Scout. The right-handed pitcher went five innings for a complete game with four strikeouts and spread one hit and zero walks for one earned run. Louthan accelerates through from a high three- quarter angle. The fastball ran up to 86 and was upper- 70s to mid- 80s throughout with good command of the pitch. Paired it with a curveball with 12-6 shape and solid vertical depth. Feel to get weak contact and was efficient through innings only needing 58 pitches for the complete game. Medium 5-foot-10, 174-pound frame with room to fill and more velocity in the tank. Uncommitted strike thrower that was able to get weaker ground ball contact and worked quickly.

-Marcus Thomas


Dominic Rossy (2028, Marietta, Ga.) The 6-foot-4, 204-pound left-handed hitter and catcher was productive for Aviator Nation 17U Select, collecting seven hits, including two doubles, a triple, and a home run, while driving in eight runs. Rossy showed good strength and a smooth swing from the left side, consistently producing extra-base impact. His ability to hit for power while also collecting multiple types of extra-base hits showed the range of his offensive game. With his size and left-handed bat, Rossy is an intriguing uncommitted hitter who showed he can be a major run producer.

David "DJ" Freitez (2028, Orlando, Fla.) The 6-foot, 163-pound right-handed hitter and infielder was a tough out for JR7 Baseball, collecting nine hits, including three doubles and a triple, while driving in six runs. Freitez consistently found ways to put the ball in play and turn his contact into extra-base hits. His production across multiple games showed that he could contribute throughout the lineup rather than relying on one big performance. With a lean frame and room to continue adding strength, Freitez has a good base to build on as he develops.

Matthew Zander (2028, Adairsville, Ga.) The 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed pitcher threw the ball exceptionally well for 6-4-3 DP Baseball Academy Cougars, allowing no hits and striking out 11 over 4 1/3 innings against Ghost Nation '28. Zander issued just one walk and ran his fastball up to 89 mph. He consistently missed bats while limiting baserunners, showing the ability to attack hitters and stay in control of the outing. His high strikeout total and ability to prevent hits made him one of the more impressive uncommitted arms from the event.

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1
Tyler Russo

2031 C/OF Jace Winston (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) had a really nice day at the dish as he picked up a couple hits in his first game, both well-struck, and then launched a bomb in game 2. He’s one of the more physical players here who can really impact the baseball already, and the consistency in which he’s hitting this fall is a great sign going into 2027. 2031 SS/RHP Weston Stalls (Blackstock, S.C.) came in for a couple innings of relief on the day and showed off the arm talent running the fastball up to 87. It’s a fast arm and he generates real life to the fastball, while the breaking ball is a good pitch as well.   ‘31 SS Parker Smith (NC) went 3-for-3 to open the weekend, this a line drive single the other way. 6’2/140 & can accelerate the barrel already, intriguing projection. #NatAllState @PG_Coastal https://t.co/Z7C5kDGdIM — Perfect Game...

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now   The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing.  They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...
