An impressive PG National debut

Photo: Perfect Game

MINNEAPOLIS - Loganville, Ga., outfielder Clint Frazier showed up at the Metrodome early Friday evening for the Perfect Game National Showcase as the nation's No. 22-ranked overall prospect in the high school class of 2013.

Based on what he showed Perfect Game scouts and the scouting community at large during his three-day stay here, by the time he plays in his next PG event early next month, it's quite likely that ranking will have slid upward at least a couple of positions.

Loganville High School is starting to gain a bit of a reputation for producing draftable prospects, and Frazier may just be the best yet. The 6-foot, 190-pound converted third baseman wowed the scouts during Friday's workout session and continued to impress during Saturday night's Rawlings Home Run Challenge.

For his part, Frazier was wowed just being part of the show.

"There are 300 kids here, and just to be one of the 300 selected really means a lot," he said Sunday. "It really shows where I stand and what I need to work on and what I am good at compared to what other people do."

There was no doubt where Frazier stood Friday night. He started his workout by running a personal-best 6.42-second 60-yard dash, which stood up as the sixth-best time recorded after three separate workout sessions. At last year's PG Junior National Showcase in Fort Myers, Fla., Frazier ran a 6.94 in the 60. His jump to 6.42 a year later bordered on jaw-dropping.

"I think racing against a kid that was faster than me is what kept me in the race," Frazier said, while admitting "it even surprised me."

More eyebrows were raised when Frazier took part in the outfield arm velocity workout. His best throw from the outfield to either third base or home plate was gunned at 98 mph, just off the event record of 99 mph set by PG/Aflac All-American Michael Lorenzen at the 2009 PG National right here in the Metrodome.

"I just let it rip on that second one; the first one didn't feel as good coming out," Frazier said of his 98 mph outfield heater. "I knew I was only going to do two throws instead of four, so I gave it all I had on the second one."

Frazier took part in a batting practice session early Saturday evening in preparation for the Rawlings Home Run Challenge later in the night. The warm-up must have been helpful, as Frazier finished second in the competition to Elk Grove, Calif., slugger Rowdy Tellez.

"I felt pretty good going in, but it took me a minute to find my groove," he said. "I couldn't seem to get (any home runs) out to left-center so I just tried to dead-pull and get under it a little bit. It felt pretty good."

Frazier said his experience at the PG Junior National last year helped him better understand the challenges this year's PG National would offer. He came in knowing that the skill level he saw from the young prospects in Fort Myers - many of whom were here this week - was only going to be elevated at this event.

"Everyone had another year to get better," Frazier said. "I just come in and try to do the best that I can because you never know. Baseball is a different sport."

Frazier is coming off another spring of success playing for his Loganville High School team. Loganville won the Georgia AAAA state championship and one of its players, senior Christian Miller, was selected in the 19th round of the MLB amateur draft by the San Diego Padres.

Brandon Moss, another Loganville alum, was an eighth-round selection of the Boston Red Sox in 2002, was recently acquired by the Oakland A's and sent up to the big leagues, and in 10 recent games with the A's has six home runs and 11 RBIs.  Casey Shiner is a Loganville High alum who was selected in the 10th round of the 2012 MLB draft out of Kennesaw State.

"The coaches are what make the team every year," Frazier said of head coach Jeff Segars and varsity assistants Brian Mills and Mike Ryan. "We were ranked preseason No. 1 five years in a row, so our coaches do everything they can to get us prepared. I give all the credit to them."

Frazier, a University of Georgia recruit who before the National was ranked a top-50 draft prospect, will play with Team Elite again this summer. That means he'll be getting plenty of face-time at PG WWBA and BCS Finals tournaments.

"Playing with them last summer - I was 16 playing with the 18-year-olds - it was definitely a challenge," Frazier said. "I knew I had to work on a lot of things just to get to where all those kids already were."

He played with Team Elite at last year's PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., as one of only two 2013s on a team loaded with 2012 prospects, including 2011 PG All-American Classic selection Clate Schmidt.

"Turning around and looking down the third base line and seeing all the (golf carts with scouts in them) lined up behind third base, it was kind of overwhelming because I didn't know what to expect," Frazier said of the Jupiter experience. "And then facing the amount of talent that I was facing down there made me kind of nervous."

He claims he's past the stage of feeling butterflies in his stomach these days, even at events like the Perfect Game National Showcase. His performance here the past three days certainly makes that claim  all the more believable.

PG ID Camps Help Youngsters Build a Baseball Resume There was still snow on the ground in a lot of places last weekend, but that didn’t stop more than 200 young players from going indoors to participate in the first round of Perfect Game Select Fest ID Camps for the 2026 season. John McAdams, PG’s national crosschecker and Northeast scouting director, ran the event in Farmingdale, New Jersey, and was impressed with his group’s energy and desire to improve at the game. “We’re giving young players the opportunity to build their baseball resumes and chart their growth and progress over a span of years,” he said. In addition to New Jersey, Select Fest ID Camps were held in Lake St. Louis, Missouri; Rossford, Ohio; Marietta, Georgia; and Kent, Washington. The ID camps debuted in 2025. Twenty-two of them were held around the country with nearly 700 young...

PG Salutes Chet Brewer, a Youth Baseball Pillar

PG Salutes Chet Brewer, a Youth Baseball Pillar A few weeks ago, Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball foundation held a fundraising event in Los Angeles. The “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction brought in thousands of dollars, all of which will go toward providing deserving youngsters an opportunity to play and grow in the game. Chet Brewer was not at the event – the former Negro Leagues star died at age 83 in 1990 – but his spirit was. Big time. “That night was all about Chet,” PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert said. “He was all about giving kids chances to play the game, especially kids from underprivileged backgrounds. “When you’re 15, 16, 17 years old – those years are the basis of your life. Chet helped put a lot of kids on the right path through the game of baseball.” Brewer’s impactful life has...

College Top 25: February 23

Article Image
College Player Report Database In Week 1, the Top 15 teams in the poll remained unchanged but the college baseball landscape had a different narrative in mind for Week 2. With plenty of upsets and teams at the top establishing their dominance, there was quite a bit of upheaval across the country. While there were some special performances on the mound, runs continue to be scored in bunches and high drama extra-inning games seem to be the norm. There is no time to relax or take the foot off the gas in the college game today; we are in for another wild season it appears. The LSU Tigers (8-0) made the trip across the panhandle to Jacksonville, FL, swept through the Live Like Lou Jax Classic by outscoring their opponents 33-11 and remain No. 1 this week. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-0) secure their spot at No. 2 and are off to a program record breaking run scoring spree, averaging...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 62, Part 1 | Part 2 Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls - Part 3  We've made it to Part 3…the final installment of our series on baseball's most misunderstood and debated topics.   In Part 1, we tackled the curveball. The takeaway: the pitch itself isn't what’s dangerous. Decades of awful and ineffective coaching cues, ”snap your wrist," "turn the doorknob”…exacerbated and even in many causes caused some of the problems. Teach it correctly, when the athlete is ready, and it's no riskier than a fastball.  In Part 2, we examined pitch counts. The takeaway: they're a useful tool, but a limited one. Treating a single number as a universal measure of safety ignores everything...

Pacific Northwest All Region & Top Tools

NORTHWEST REGION (WA, OR, ID, WY, AK, MT, HI)    The biggest change in the Northwest Region for 2026 is the addition of Hawaii, which has always been overlooked due to being lumped with California in the former Pacific Region.  This also coincides with an increased Perfect Game presence in the islands in the form of additional events and scouting.  And Hawaii certainly contributed in it’s first year, placing four players on the All-Region team, including slugging 2026 outfielder Judah Ota. The powerhouse Puyallup HS team is the only Northwest Region team to be represented in the PG Pre-Season Top 50 National HS Rankings, beginning the year ranked 26th.  C – Teagan Scott (Sr., South Salem HS, Ore.) Scott has been on the prospect map since he played in the 2023 PG 14U Select Festival and is signed with Oregon State.  A right-handed hitter with lots...

Then vs. Now: '26 Class Look Back

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
One constant across our scouting staff is the volume of in-person looks we get at prospects during their high school years. With assignments at national tournaments and showcases throughout the calendar, we’ve built a deep library of reports and video on many of today’s top college prospects dating back to their prep days. This week, we took a step back to revisit what those players looked like as high school prospects. Which tools stood out? What was missing from the profile at the time? And what, if anything, did we overlook that ultimately helped shape the player they’ve become? Below, we break down 10 players in a “Then and Now” reflection. Justin Lebron (23 FL) finishes off the tournament getting in on the hit parade with a single to the pullside. #PGShowdown #Bama commit pic.twitter.com/C4Irym2ZTR — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) March 4, 2023...

Grady Emerson (‘26 TX) laces this ball to right for a walk off single. Clean lefty stroke. Looks the part both sides of the ball. Checks all the boxes. Will be scouted heavily this Spring. #PGHS #HookEm commit. #PGDraft pic.twitter.com/wXvdHdgqME — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) February 6, 2026 Grady Emerson (2026, Argyle, Texas) had a strong showing throughout the opening week of high school baseball out here in Texas. Works good at-bats and is always a tough out in general. Makes all the plays at short and just has the look of a future big leaguer. He does all the little things right. Bat to ball will play at a high level and there is still a lot more power to project on here. There is a reason why Emerson is one of, if not the most highly coveted high school prospect in the 2026 class and it’s easy to see why. Currently committed to Texas, but has the potential to...
