College Midseason All American Awards

Vincent Cervino
Craig Cozart
We are seven weeks into the college baseball season and have reached the midway point of the year. So, with that being said, we are excited to roll out our awards for the players, teams and coaches who have excelled so far in 2023. One of the top storylines for much of the season has been No 1 LSU living up to their lofty expectations and the SEC dominating much of the Top-10 in our rankings throughout. The Tigers have put on a parade of elite level arms, game changing defensive skills and of course, one of the most potent offenses in recent history. They are currently (24-4) and have yet to drop a series and have done so in dominant fashion for most of the schedule. The scary thing is that they are just now starting to hit on all cylinders. So, based on their body of work thus far and the wealth of talent in all aspects of the game, the LSU Tigers are our Perfect Game 2023 Midseason Team of the Year.

Coming into the 2023 season as the consensus favorite to be the first pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, it would be hard for any mere mortal to perform beyond expectations. But that is precisely what LSU centerfielder Dylan Crews has done for the first 28 games of the year. He is currently carrying an incredible BA% of .543 while slugging .947 and by the way he reaches base over two-thirds of the time he comes to the plate. He has walked over twice as many times as he has punched out and yet he has collected 11 doubles, 9 home runs and driven in 35 RBIs. He has also thrown in 3 stolen bases and plays a Gold Glove caliber centerfield for good measure. Crews was the obvious choice for Perfect Game’s Midseason Player of the Year.



The Midseason Pitcher of the Year goes to none other than Paul Skenes, who is putting together the type of year that has scouts and pundits across the nation saying he may be the best to ever wear a college jersey. The 6-6/235 RHP is the clear-cut ace for the LSU Tigers and virtually guarantees his club starts off every series with a victory. With a fastball that regularly registers 100 mph readings and has even peaked at 102, Skenes is a strike throwing machine and carries his best stuff deep into games. In his 7 starts this season, he is 5-0 with a minuscule ERA of 0.81 over his 44.1 IP thus far. He has only allowed 19 hits all season and even more impressive that he has only surrendered 3 extra base hits all year. Teams have only scored 4 runs against him all told, and he possesses a mind-blowing 83:8 strike out to walk ratio.

There have been a multitude of freshman across the nation putting together amazing season, but none have impressed like Ethan Petry, infielder for the University of South Carolina. The 6-4/230 right-handed hitter has been right in the middle of his team’s immense power surge as they lead the nation in home runs. Petry’s slash line is .442/.856/.496 through 29 games played and he has taken his performance to another level in SEC play. With 4 doubles, 13 home runs and having driven in 42 runs, Ethan Petry in our Perfect Game Midseason Freshman of the Year.

Boston College has been arguably the most surprising and impressive story of the 2023 season and because of their record setting season through 26 games, Mike Gambino is our Midseason Coach of the Year. The Eagles currently sit in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division in the ACC and reached the 20-win plateau faster than any previous team to wear the BC uniform. Beyond that, for the first time in program history, they have won each of the first four conference serie they’ve played this year. They are also ranked No. 7 in this week’s Perfect Game Top-25 poll, meaning they are the second highest ranked team in their league.

Cape Cod League Notebook: August 7

RHP Jason Flores (@BaseballUGA) Showed some electric stuff, up to 98 several times CT, SL, CH to round out the arsenal in his 5IP 9K performance. @HarwichMariners So./‘27 elig pic.twitter.com/p2nTvkFnWh — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall) August 5, 2026 Jason Flores | RHP | University of Georgia | Harwich Mariners  Flores heads to Georgia this fall looking to reestablish himself as one of the premier arms in the 2027 draft class after showing significant promise during his freshman season at Texas. Flores posted a 2.78 ERA over 32.1 innings as a freshman before a limited sophomore campaign in which he logged just 12 innings. The stuff was on full display this summer, highlighted by a dominant five-inning, nine-strikeout playoff performance in which he touched 98 mph five different times. His fastball averaged nearly 96 mph throughout his time on the Cape, pairing the...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo πŸ’£ on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers.

Evan Thompson (‘29, AZ) showcasing the all-fields power with this ground rule double the other way. Immense power upside. Really fun offensive profile #FallKickoff https://t.co/l551KirUOf pic.twitter.com/QW0AIeg59g — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) September 7, 2026 Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, Ariz.) put on an offensive clinic throughout the weekend, going 8-for-13 with three extra-base hits. He capped off his MVP performance with a walkoff home run to take home the championship. Thompson is one of the premier players in the 2029 class. A fluid left-handed stroke consistently finds barrels. There is all fields power present that will only continue to develop further. It would not be a surprise if Thimpson ends up the top ranked player in the class when it is all said and done.  Chase Fillman (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) put together a loud summer circuit and...

What Profiles Are Valued Most at Top of Draft

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The landscape of the MLB Draft continues to evolve each and every year. What teams value at the top of the draft can change based on the strength of a particular class, shifts in player development philosophy, and, perhaps most importantly, the way organizations evaluate risk and upside. Some trends are subtle, while others become impossible to ignore when viewed across multiple years. For this study, I set out to answer one question: What player profiles do teams value at the top of the draft? To answer it, I analyzed the Top-100 picks from each of the last six drafts (2021-2026). That gives us 600 total selections to examine and provides a large enough sample to identify both the profiles that have remained consistently popular and those that have gained or lost significant ground. The data was broken down by position, handedness and level to create individual player profiles. While...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo πŸ’£ (100 EV/ 416 ft).
