All-State Game Standouts: Day 1 | Day 2


Matthew Sharman (2026, Woodstock, Ga.), a 6-foot-1, 170-pound second baseman, had a huge double for Team Georgia in the bottom of the 6th inning to tie the score against Team Pacific NW. The momentum seemed to swing toward Georgia, who took the lead with four runs scored, ultimately relinquishing the lead the next inning. Sharman finished the All-State Games with a pair of doubles, a single, four runs driven in and four runs scored.




Carson Quillen (2025, Greeneville, Tenn.), a 5-foot-10, 185-pound catcher, was stellar behind the plate defensively for Team Coastal over the weekend. The No. 1 ranked catcher in the Tennessee class finished with a .375 average, scored three runs, and knocked in two while catching four of the five games over the tournament. Quillen showed the ability to handle a pitching staff and contribute offensively with solid actions on both sides of the ball. 
 
Kort Baker (2025, Auburn, Wash.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound first baseman, hit .400 with four singles and two doubles over 16 plate appearances for the champion, Team Pacific NW. Baker’s huge double in the top of the 7th inning ignited the three-run come-from-behind victory over Team Georgia in the semifinals. He contributed two more hits in the finals against Team Florida as Team Pacific NW took home the 14U National All-State Select Championship. 

Carson Hughes (2025, Buckley, Wash.) was the Most Valuable Player of the 14U National All-State Select Championship. The 5-foot-11, 145-pound shortstop drove in eight runs and scored another seven runs in six games for Team Pacific NW on their way to the championship title. A consistent performer at Perfect Game events, Hughes made the All-Tournament Team in two of his previous four events and now has an MVP to go along with his credentials as a player who steps up in big events.

AJ Cruz (2026, Miami, Fla.) is a 5-foot-11, 146-pound primary shortstop, infielder and right-handed pitcher who was excellent at the plate this weekend in Atlanta, hitting .500 over the course of Florida’s finalist run, with four of his five hits going for extra bases, including two triples. At the plate Cruz passes the eye-test as he is tall, lean and operates with athletic actions in all phases. In the box, Cruz sets up with a narrow, square stance and hands low outside his pec. He has nice rhythm and timing in the box, and pairs it with advanced hand-eye coordination that helps him get extended and square up pitches regardless to where they are pitched. Current power is to the alleys as it plays well into his game, with underway speed and the ability to go first-to-third rather effortlessly. Cruz is also aggressive on the bases as he stole two bags this weekend with aggressive tendencies and first-step quickness, allowing him to get clean jumps off the pitcher time and again. Already a top-50 prospect in the class, Cruz had quite the year, hitting .387 over 87 games, and appearing in the 13u Main Event and 13u National Showcase this past summer.
 

Brayden Harris (2026, Orange Park, Fla.) is a 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed pitcher, third baseman, and outfielder who came into the weekend ranked as the No. 6 right-handed pitcher in the class and inside the top-20 prospects nationally. Brayden lived up to the hype this weekend in Atlanta as he was spectacular in all phases, pitching 6 2/3 innings to the tune of five hits, no runs, and 11 punchouts, as well as hitting .385 over seven games with six total bases. Harris really shined on the mound as he earned the start for Florida Monday morning and worked into the fourth, scattering five hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. Needing just 61 pitches to complete his assignment, Harris displayed a balanced windup and a quick arm action, which helped him fill the zone and run his fastball up to 86 mph. Harris complemented his fastball well with a 12-6 curveball in the high-60s with plenty of depth and bite through the zone, making it difficult to barrel all morning. To further illustrate how dominant Harris was, he worked ahead of all but one of the 17 hitters he faced and threw a first-pitch strike to 60% of the at-bats throughout his outing. Harris has had an excellent year at Perfect Game events recording 113 punchouts over 95 1/3 innings on the mound, while also hitting .420 in 110 games at the plate. Lastly, Harris’ performance on Monday earned him MV-Pitcher honors for this year's inaugural All-State Games, an impressive feat.
 

Connor Langdon (2026, Perry, Ga.) is a 6-foot, 150-pound, tall, lean and athletic southpaw, who earned the start for Georgia during their semifinal game Monday afternoon at East Cobb. On the mound, Langdon looks the part, as he deploys an even tempo to his delivery and pairs it with a long and loose, two-pieced arm action that releases his repertoire from a high three-quarter slot, tunneling well across his mix. To work through his assignment, Langdon sequenced with a fastball touching 80 mph with life and run through the zone, a changeup with sell and fade in the high-60s, and a curveball with natural depth and proper shape in the low-70s that created plenty of swing-and-miss over his six-inning start. When all was said and done, Langdon would strike out two and scatter five hits, earning a no-decision for his performance. Langdon’s impressive outing is nothing we haven’t seen at Perfect Game, as he currently ranks as the top left-handed pitcher in his home state, and inside the top-50 prospects in the class. With what most likely will be the capstone to his 2021 Perfect Game tournament slate, Langdon will finish with an impressive 74 strikeouts over just 52 innings, and a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
 

Christopher Moore (2026, Covington, Wash.) battled the aforementioned Langdon Monday morning as he earned the start for Pacific NW in their semifinal game. Moore, like his counterpart, has a projectable frame and build at 5-foot-10, 145 pounds, and uses it well as he extends his legs well down the mound, before using his long arms and clean arm action to get plenty of extension out front prior to release. To work through his assignment, Moore worked off an 80 mph fastball with life and sink, and mixed in a mid-60s breaker with depth and bottom. Working into the fourth, Moore was effective all game long filling the zone with his repertoire and working ahead of the majority of the hitters he faced. A good athlete, Moore also displayed the ability to field his position on weak comebackers to the mound with sound defensive actions and clean throws to bases. Moore is currently the top-ranked prospect and shortstop in his home state and proved why this week as he performed well in all phases, contributing every step of the way to the Pacific Northwest’s championship run.
 

Teammate to the aforementioned Moore, Pacific Northwest outfielder Dylan Mamiya (2026, Kennewick, Wash.) is yet another tool-studded talent that helped lead the Northwest to a championship this weekend at East Cobb. Mamiya stands 5-foot-8, 147 pounds, with a lean, athletic build. What stands out is Dylan’s athleticism and how it translates to all phases of the game. At the plate, the left-handed hitting table-setter starts square with hands high near his ear. He deploys a simple backside load via a lagging leg lift before turning it loose upon foot strike with torque, bat speed, and barrel control. Mamiya possesses advanced hand-eye coordination that helps him work the count, and barrel fastballs in hitter-friendly counts, consistently punching line drive results with carry to the gaps. Once contact is made, Dylan turns on the jets with underway speed, acceleration, and acumen which helps him work into scoring position time and again. A good athlete, tools are present in the outfield as well as he displays range, a strong arm with accuracy and carry, and enough feel for the leather to make all plays hit his way. Lastly, Dylan put together a nice weekend of his club’s six-game stretch hitting .500 from the middle of the order with nine total bases, five runs scored, and six driven in.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...

College Players of the Week: March 17

March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...

March 10 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Lorenzo Carrier, OF, Pitt  The Pitt Panthers (12-2) are off to one of the best starts in recent program history and their offense has performed as one of the best in the country.  For the season, they are averaging almost 12-runs per game and on their recent trip to the West Coast, Lorenzo Carrier went on the kind of hot streak that is hard to comprehend.  The 6-5/215 senior from Bear, DE was a one-man wrecking crew in their 4-wins last week, starting with the fact that he reached base safely in 17 of his 19 trips to the plate.  He collected 13 hits in 14 official at-bats, scoring 10 runs, with 4 walks, 2 triples, 4 home runs and he drove in an insane 19-runs.  Carrier has refined his approach, simplified his bat path and is creating massive power that has him putting up career numbers.  For the season, he is...

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...
