13u/14u WWBA Player Breakdown

Photo: Brayden Landry (Perfect Game)
Anderson Lambert, OF/RHP, 5 Star National Mid Atlantic 2027
Lambert possesses some advanced tools and a wide skill set for the age. The bat speed immediately jumps out with plenty of whip to the barrel and a clean finish. His routes and range in center field stand out with good reads and a good chance to stick there long term. He hit to the tune of .600 on the week and found solid liners to all fields, showing the hands that give his profile a lot to like going forward.

Bryan Ravelo, OF/RHP, ZT Prospects National
Ravelo has some of the loudest tools in the class that should only mature as his ultra-projectable frame matures. The leverage and length he creates with the barrel stands out and it’s big power potential going forward. His overall feel and athleticism is hard to come by at this age, but Ravelo put it all on display during Worlds against some high-end competition. He’s a special profile with a lot to build upon.



Christopher Wall, C/INF, Canes National 14u
Wall was a huge standout with the stick, putting together an eye-opening 1.071 OPS and .438 average. The left-handed swing is very fluid with loose hands that meet consistent contact. It’s a short-timed trigger and the hands fire on time with plenty of intent through the zone. His feel and offensive profile is advanced, and Wall offers some defensive versatility all over the dirt. Wall was a huge performer the entire week.

Lucas Farrar, MIF/RHP, R3-Olasin
Farrar has an intriguing skill set that can really play up the middle handling shortstop duties or hopping on the bump with a two-pitch mix. His actions and feel for the leather was one of the best defensive showings, with crisp transfers and easy arm strength across. He also ran it up to 82 mph on the mound with great feel for a sweeping slider that forced whiffs. The entire package is enticing as the offensive development takes shape.

Finnian O'Loughlin, OF/RHP, NJ Rising Rebels 14u
O’Loughlin was a big two-way product who showed out. He pitched eight shutout frames over two appearances, including a stellar 6 â…” inning performance against a solid Motor City Hit Dogs squad. The fastball/curveball sequence is advanced, throwing both from the slate arm slot and creating downhill plane and life on the heat that’s up to the low-80s. He also made some loud pull-side contact on several occasions. It’s a big profile that should only mature.

Dru Wilson, OF/RHP, Padres 13u Scout Team
Wilson was a dominant 13u performer on both sides. The hand speed and bat-to-ball skills are of very high quality for the age. He’s a good mover and an athletic presence in the box. On the bump, Wilson can live high-70s with some feel to spin as the breaking ball already shows advanced depth and shape. As the frame matures, the athleticism and overall ability can really shine. He’s a high-level two-way in his class.

Noah Spalding, RHP/UTL, Canes National 14u
Spalding has some thunder to the hands and swung a pretty solid stick on the week, but the arm talent is what stood out in several facets. The right-hander didn’t give up a run in all three relief outings and showed some loud stuff on the hill. The fastball reached 87 mph with a depthy high-60s curveball with great tight, downer break. He also flashed a more quality changeup on occasion. The physicality and power arm of his arsenal is impressive, Spalding fills the zone and mixes tempos at his size. He’s a young name for the 2026 class and performed very well.

Jake Sedmack, OF/3B, Padres Scout Team 14u
Sedmack was a consistent producer with the stick, collecting eight total hits on the week and even showing up in a stellar relief outing. There is good balance and spacing to the swing with some jump off the bat as he separates through contact. He can work the entire field with sound hands and tight spacing, staying short and compact. Sedmack was a big time stick with feel that should only translate.

Ira Rootman, OF/MIF, A1B
Rootman had one of the loudest swings on Day 1 and continued to keep hitting at a high level. He matches plane well, but also has adjustable hands to really manipulate the barrel and lift pitches low in the zone. There’s some whip and clean finish to the path with more strength down the line as he physically matures. He has athletic traits that show up in the outfield defensively along with a pretty solid bat at this age. He’s one to keep an eye on.

Brody Costantine, RHP/INF, Padres 13u Scout Team
Costantine was a loud performer for the 13u group, collecting six hits and six runs with a pair of stolen bags. The two-way athleticism is very intriguing and advanced for the age. He’s a confident performer who is putting together a solid track record of performance in PG tournaments. Costantine continues to put it all together.

Abrahm Howard, RHP/INF, Canes National 14u
Howard was one of the louder two-way performers and put an absolute bow on his performance during the semifinals and championship. He collected 10 hits including two doubles, showing high level barrel control and strength out front. Howard hopped on the bump and topped 83 mph with a real curveball with 11-5 shape and quality depth. The performance on both sides was really eye opening, and there’s a lot to work with in the overall profile.

Ethan Gilchrist, MIF/RHP, South Charlotte Panthers 2027
Gilcrhist put the two-way athleticism on full display. There’s some tools on both sides, as he jumped on a pull-side triple and found a few more barrels over the week. Gilchirst has present bat speed and real quick stroke with jump to the pull side. The arm strength on the dirt has good amounts of carry across with quality actions along with it. He topped 82 mph on the bump, as well. Gilchirst was a solid performer with some tools that can really develop and be impactful at the next level.

Chappy Smith, MIF/RHP, Dirtbags Black
Smith was another sound defender up the middle. There’s some size to the frame already, but he moved awfully well to either side and found a few whippier throws on the run to make plays. The defensive instincts were on display, and he set the table at the top of the order making solid contact with a quick right-handed swing. There is a certain rhythm to his process and shows two-way potential.

-Isaiah Burrows

Preston Matricardi, OF, Fl Dodgers 14u Scout Team
Matricardi made a name for himself thanks in part to his left-handed swing, putting quality swings on the ball throughout the tournament, some falling for hits while others were hit directly at defenders. A long and projectable 5-foot-10, 140-pound center fielder, Matricardi 's athleticism allowed him to patrol center field with ease, covering ground with a quick first step, though it was his abilities in the batter's box that truly helped him stand out. He swing the stick with intent, showing looseness in his wrists while remaining direct to the ball and short with his path, allowing for barreled contact across several looks.

Rylan McMahan, LHP, Fl Dodgers 14u Scout Team
McMahan didn't hop onto the mound until the playoffs for the Dodgers, and though his team ultimately came out on the losing end of a tightly contested game, the young left-hander still showing plenty to be intrigued by moving forward. The arm speed immediately stands out for McMahan as he opened up sitting in the 82-84 mph range, bumping an 85 in his first inning of work while missing bats frequently and showing angle on the pitch out of his hand. While that combination of fastball life and velocity is enough to navigate through a 14u lineup, McMahan spun a very real slider in the low-70s with maintained arm speed and late biting life that resulted in some uncomfortable swings throughout. 

Caleb Alexander, SS, Padres Scout Team
Coming off a summer circuit in which he captured 12u Select Festival MVP honors, Alexander showed no problems making the adjustment to the big field as he showed throughout his time in West Palm. He already shows polish in his right-handed swing, working on a mostly linear plane which yielded line drive contact around the yard while finishing with a .333 average while pacing the Padres offense from atop the lineup. The bat-to-ball skills are there for Alexander, not only evidenced by his contact, but with the fact he didn't strike out in route to winning the championship and recording a base hit in all but one game. Like his teammate Brayden Landry, Alexander showed well in the dirt as well with his athleticism and footwork, living up to his lofty ranking in the 2027 class. 

Geronimo Fermin, LHP, Blue Jays Scout Team
Fermin was dominant throughout his time on the mound and rightfully so given his ability to comfortably work in the low-80s with his fastball, peaking as high as 83 mph. Despite having just turned 13 Fermin proved to be in complete control both during his outing in pool play and his start in the playoffs as he combined for 7 innings, a span in which he allowed just 2 hits and struck out 14 without walking any. Though he's not physically imposing on the mound just yet, the arm speed and ability to attack the strike zone certainly certainly stand out as he's already showing comfort in locating to either side of the plate with his heater while spinning a sharp breaking in the mid-60s to keep hitters off balance. Fermin ended up taking home MVP-Pitcher honors from the 13u Worlds and will certainly be a name to monitor heading into next summer.

Andy Espinoza, RHP, Wow Factor Scout
Espinoza turned in perhaps the most dominant start of the entire tournament as he never let off the gas from the first pitch of his hand to the last one. While he isn’t as physical as some of the other arms mentioned at 5-foot-8, 142 pounds, Espinoza shut down a talented USA Prime lineup with 7 innings of no-hit baseball and proved to be on cruise control, exiting the game with 5 pitches to spare until hitting his daily cap. The right-handed Floridian maintained his low-80s fastball throughout very well, showing a simple set of mechanics on the bump which included a shorter arm stroke and plenty of arm speed, allowing for repeatability and in turn, lots of strikes. The fastball wasn’t the only pitch Espinoza attacked with as his sharp, late biting curveball in the upper-60s proved to keep hitters off balance while missing its fair share of bats as well. 

Mac Morris, SS, South Charlotte Panthers
As I mentioned in the daily recap write up of Morris, he's a player we were able to track with frequency throughout the summer as he made all the major circuit stops and even though it was a couple months back, Morris already appears to be elevating his game to the next level. The young South Carolina native is already looking more physical than his listed 154 pounds from the summer and the ball is behaving differently off of his barrel as a direct result. His bat-to-ball skills were very much present in West Palm as he finished the weekend with an impressive .636 average, collecting 7 hits over 4 games with 6 RBI, including a screaming line drive double over the center fielder's head in his final at-bat of the trip. 

Brayden Landry, SS, Padres Scout Team
Landry is younger for the class of 2027 and is eligible for 13u ball this upcoming circuit, a scary proposition for opposing pitchers given the start he got off to in West Palm. The eventual MVP of the 13u Worlds, Landry never stopped swinging the stick as he finished with an impressive .462 average, picking up a pair of doubles while consistently showing and short but quick stroke through the zone. Along with 7 bags on the bases, Landry's defense continued to be a calling card for the young middle infield as he showed both balance and coordination in his actions on the move with softness to his hands and solid arm strength across the diamond. 

Carter Hadnot, SS, ZT Elite Prospects
The MVP of the 14u Worlds, Hadnot showed his abilities on both sides of the ball, as well as from both sides of the plate as the young switch-hitter was able to get multiple reps from either batter's box throughout the tournament. There's no doubting the barrel skills Hadnot possesses as we saw them in nearly any given at-bat with equally impressive hand speed whether left or right-handed as he finished with 8 base hits, 5 of which were doubles, while drawing 8 walks which was good for a .471/.654/1.491 slash. For as impressive as he was offensively, Hadnot was at another level in the dirt making several next-level type plays with big range and athleticism, proving himself as one of the better defenders in attendance. 

Chase Cotton, RHP, ZT Elite Prospects
Cotton made a pair of appearances on the mound throughout the tournament and impressed with both and the fact that he’s a couple months shy of being 13u eligible made the performances all the more intriguing. Strongly built, Cotton engages his lower half well coming down the mound as he pummeled the strike zone with a complete mix which includes a heater that bumped 82 mph with downhill plane to the bottom of the zone. What truly stood out with Cotton however was his current comfort level in spinning the baseball as he was able to locate both a bigger 11-5 shaped curveball as well as a tighter slider in the upper-60s which proved equally as effective.  

Chase Fuller, SS, Fl Dodgers 14u Scout Team
The final stat line doesn’t always tell you about a player’s showing in any given tournament and that’s something that holds true for Fuller, the current No. 1 player in the 2027 class. Even from when we saw Fuller just this past August at the 13u Select Festival, the adjustments and refining he’s made stood out in my looks. At 6-foot-1, 165 pounds Fuller’s bat speed and strength at impact appear to have taken that next step from this summer as he barreled a couple of baseballs hard the other way with some serious carry. Defensively he moved around with fluidity and confidence, showing smooth glove skills while making the plays with the same give arm strength we’ve come to expect from the young Floridian. 

Zayne Hookala, LHP, ZT Prospects National
Hookala is no stranger to Perfect Game events, already appearing in a pair of Select Festivals while spending the last week in West Palm, playing a tournament with his grad class then one with his age group. The young Hawaiian made a pair of appearances on the mound for ZT, first out of the bullpen where he recorded 2 outs, both via the strikeout, before nearly going a complete game in the Quarterfinals, settling for 5 2/3 innings in which he punched out 10 while scattering 4 hits, a continuation of the dominance we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. The fastball lived comfortably in the low-80s, peaking 84 mph in the tournament, with a barrage of strikes, though it was his changeup once again that proved to be a difference maker as he turns it over with advanced feel and late tumbling life through the zone up to 75 mph. 

Maddux Lessard, C, USA Prime 14u Red
We’ve often said the fortunes of a tournament can change in an instant and the young Wisconsin native certainly left West Palm on a high note given his performance on the final day of the event. Held to just one hit through pool play and the opening playoff round (a double), Lessard took his best swings of the event when it mattered the most, the first of which came in extra innings. Down to his last strike with the tying run on third in a score or go home moment, Lessard never looked like he was out of the bat and simply shortened his swing on an elevated pitch to line a single into center field. Lessard spared us the dramatics in the next game as he jumped all a pitch and showed the same type of juice we saw all summer as he leveraged no-doubter over the left field wall for the lone home run of the tournament.  

Gavin Knox, RHP, ZT Prospects
We're still very much at the beginning of the process for identifying players in the 2027 class, but no player in attendance made more of a name for themselves then the right-hander out of Virginia. Already sporting present strength on his 5-foot-10, 160-pound build, Knox employs a simple and efficient operation on the mound which led to plenty of strikes over his appearances on the mound while carrying his arsenal as well as any arm in the tournament. In total Knox logged 8 1/3 innings on the tournament and consisnelty showed a fastball that worked into the mid-80s, bumping as high as 86 mph with life and downhill plane. For as good as the velocity is for the 14u level, Knox's ability and comfort to spin a very real curveball (RPM into the 2500s) was even more impressive with hard, late biting life and downer shape up to 74 mph. 

Blake Secrest, LHP, USA Prime Red 14u
In USA Prime's first playoff game of Championship Monday the ball was handed to Secrest and though the 6-foot-2, 225-pound left-handed didn't have his best stuff, he still managed to punch out 4 over 4 innings while scattering a pair of hits. The young Pennsylvania native was up to 80 mph in the playoffs but did bump 83 mph out of the 'pen earlier in the tournament, making for an uncomfortable at-bat as he attacks hitters from a lower slot, which in turns produces some heavy life on the heater. He'll flash a pair of secondary offerings, but when the fastball is in the zone, Secrest has proven more than once to make for an uneasy at-bat. 

Lennex Minor, RHP, Padres Scout Team

Minor proved to do a little bit of everything during the Padres run to a championship title as he hit .471 with a pair of doubles , 7 RBI and and 4 stolen bags, and despite his offensive presence, he might've been even more valuable on the mound. Making a pair of appearances, including a start in the playoffs where he twirled a 6 inning gem over a tough X Team, Minor average a strikeout-per-inning and could be a problem for opposing hitters as he continues to physically develop. He's already up to 76 mph with this fastball as we saw in West Palm, filling the zone with a quick arm stroke while also mixing in an upper-60s breaker and turning over a changeup in the low-60s. 
 
-Jheremy Brown

Alexander Moreno, RHP, BPA
When you put up the kind of raw numbers on the mound that Moreno does, it’s easy for people to take notice. He’s an athletic right-hander with likely the biggest arm speed in the country at this age and the spin numbers are off the charts, spinning the fastball at well over 2500 RPMs, giving him really huge carry in the 82-85 mph range at the 14u World Championship, while the breaking ball is a legitimate hammer with 27-2800 RPMs, significant spin numbers at really any age and especially ridiculous from someone that’s just barely 14 years old.

Isaiah Posey, RHP, Wow Factor National 14u
Posey turned in one of the best outings of the event as he got one out from a seven-inning no-hitter and struck out eight along the way. He’s a long 6-foot-3, 165-pounds and controls the really long limbs well, especially for someone just 13-and-a-half years old. There’s a bunch to project on, starting with good young arm speed as he’s peaking in the low-80s with the fastball already while the breaking ball can project to a hammer with healthy vertical shape/depth and the consistent components that point to good long-term things.

Connor Woods, RHP, Canes National 14u
There’s a lot of young arms you can look at and think “yeah that’s got a good shot” and Woods fits the mold of that. He’s a long athletic right-hander with really easy arm speed and good stuff as he held 78-80 for the entirety of the almost seven-inning look, filling the zone with life on the fastball throughout. He can get to either half of the plate with intent and the slider is a pitch he spins with similar intent to the fastball, getting harder sweep and short depth. He checks some boxes and there’s likely a pretty healthy jump coming.

Camden Boehm, RHP, Kangaroo Court Roos American 14u
Speaking of a good young mold, Boehm is all over that discussion in terms of the boxes he checks at a really young age. He’s 5-foot-10, 150-pounds, athletic with a loose and fast arm, throws lots of strikes in the upper-70s with late running life and can spin it really well. He’s not overpowering with the stuff but he’s what a lot of talented arms looked like at this age and if things project out the way they have for many, he’s got a bright future and might throw hard.

Carson Liedel, OF/RHP, Motor City Hit Dogs National
It was a big weekend on both sides of the ball for Liedel as he showed out as one of the better prospects in both respects and when you pair the two, you’ve got a really intriguing young-for-class player. It’s a physical profile with lots of strength which shows in the stick as he banged a triple up against the wall at the Roger Dean Complex, better known as Jupiter, before hopping on the mound and throwing smoke, up to 85 on the fastball with loads of life and a pretty legit breaker.

Brayden Singleton, LHP, Wow Factor National 14u
One of the tougher looks for hitters in the event came from long left-hander Singleton as he came out with all kinds of funk and punched out seven across three clean innings in total on the weekend. He’s 6-foot-2 with lots of length and it’s a deceptive arm stroke, hiding it with a turned front side and quick arm stab while getting really hard downhill with the fastball in the 77-79 range, making tough plane to get on. It’s a well-sold breaking ball too as he mimics the funky release on it and gets late downer bite with depth, burying it for swing-and-miss often.

Blake Lundy, C, BPA
Lundy had a solid all-around weekend showing what he can do on both sides of the ball and it’s a fun young profile with a number of big traits. He’s an explosive right-handed hitting backstop and the fast hands paired with real physicality already allows him to drive balls a long way when he’s on time. Where he impressed the most might have been behind the dish as threw out a number of would-be base stealers over the course of the weekend showing both the obvious arm strength and functionality of his catch-and-throw skills to get it out with a good bit of ease.

Logan Bristol, RHP, 14u Elite Squad-Alicea
There was no shortage of lean, athletic arms at the event that stood out for different things, but there’s things with Bristol that are just easy to like when you sit and watch. He’s 5-foot-10, 145-pounds and pitches with tons of tempo and confidence in the mix. It’s an athletic delivery and clean arm stroke, he sat in the 77-79 range, sinking the fastball with real intent over the front side for three innings and can already really spin the baseball, throwing some wicked breaking balls in the 2300 RPM range, giving him easy components to project a bunch of good things on.

Nathan Rich, RHP, Team Orlando 14u
It’s hard to think that pitchers this age can get better four, five, even six-plus innings into their outings but that’s exactly what Rich did as he pitched in the 78-81 range for almost the entire outing before cruising in the 80-83 range in his sixth inning of the outing, finishing with seven punchouts against a single walk. It’s easy life to the top from a shorter, easy arm stroke and he flashed the ability to spin it, showing there’s feel to pitch with above-average stuff for the age.

Connor Scheich, RHP, 5 Star National Mid Atlantic 2027 (Dark 30)
It was an extended relief look that was the only outing of the weekend for Scheich but it was a good one in which he showed that the stuff is good and has a shot to project into something pretty special if things go right. He was 80-82 with good tempo and the arm really works as it’s a clean arm stroke with good young arm speed and he can already really spin the breaking ball with late wipeout bite and depth, a pitch that has the components to miss significant bats now.

Connor Salerno, LHP, South Charlotte Panthers 2027
Salerno swung the bat pretty well as a whole on the weekend, but it was his nice outing on the mound against a good BPA team that really showed where the future lies. He went four solid innings, punching out six, and the stuff projects, sinking it at 76-78 from a quick clean arm stroke and showing pitchability with three pitches. The breaking ball is a little soft right now, but the changeup he can turn over with real intent and has good action/components as a whole.

Aiden Salinas, SS, Canes National 14u
Salinas is one of the more impressive all-around prospects in the country for this class and he certainly finds a way to stand out each time out. He’s one of the more sure-handed players on the dirt with tons of comfort fielding his position and he makes a number of plays that someone this age shouldn’t be able to. He’s also got lots of explosiveness in the stick with big bat speed and strength off the barrel making it just really easy to like what the ceiling is here.

Daniel Padilla, OF, Padres Scout Team 14u
It was a good weekend offensively for Padilla as he finished the event hitting .571 and he does it really easy in the box. He’s got good size at 6-foot-1, 179 pounds and it allows him to just let the hands work in the box, using strength in the wrists to line the ball all over the field with ease and plenty of barrel accuracy given how direct and simplified the swing is from the left side.

Blake Sundberg, LHP, USA Prime Red 14u
While Sundberg didn’t miss many bats in his playoff outing, he got all kinds of weak contact and it’s easy to think this is a profile that projects well moving forward. He’s a lean 6-foot left-hander with a simple delivery and easy arm stroke, living in the upper-70s with sink to the bottom of the zone and while the secondaries will take some firming and cleaning up, they have traits and components that fit a starter’s mix like a number of other things on a young projection profile.

Noah Everly, SS/RHP, ZT Prospects National
Everly has been a steady two-way performer across the entirety of the circuit and these last two weeks in West Palm Beach at the Freshman/14u World Championships have been no different. He’s swung it well, showing real comfort against a variety of really talented arms as the ball comes off well and he can turn around and work in the low-80s on the mound himself with strikes, confidence in the stuff and feel to spin, all things that certainly play well right now.

Anthony Hernandez, RHP, DBacks Prime
It wasn’t an overly special outing, but three innings where he struck out six against a good USA Prime team is no slight. Hernandez is a big 6-foot-3 right-hander with intrigue to the stuff already, working in the 80-83 range with hard running life from his quick lower-slot release and he maintains that higher level of intent on his breaking ball showing projection in terms of the spin quality and sharpness, two things that you certainly look for in a future big-time offering.

Jaeden Estevez, RHP/OF, ZT Prospects National
Finishing barely behind Hadnot for the top performer of the event, Estevez was really good with the stick all weekend long before three shutout innings of relief in the championship against a talented Canes National team. He hit .611, racking up 11 hits, and it’s a physical bat with pretty easy jump off a heavy barrel while on the mound, he’ll sit in the upper-70s with a simple clean delivery, arm that works and enough feel to spin to keep hitters off the fastball and miss a solid number of bats.

‘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...

The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition. The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner. New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.

COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class. Two Region...

DII Top 25: February 11

Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
