Uncommitted Gems: Georgia

Jason Phillips
Cam McElwaney
Michael Albee
With the fall circuit mostly complete, our scouts across the country dive into some of the uncommitted names in their region who have the talent and skill to make an impact at the next level. 

Class of 2024




Miles Shore, OF/RHP, Marietta, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Shore is a strongly built 6-foot-2, 190-pound outfielder with good upside both at the plate and on the mound. He has great bat speed and showcased power throughout the summer circuit, hitting three home runs and six doubles. He got the ball out a routine basis throughout the summer in relief appearances, showing big arm talent. He can run the fastball into the low-90s with a tight slider in the low-80s that compliments the fastball well.  

Samuel Bradley, 1B, Hoschton, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Bradley is as physical of a left-handed bat as you’ll come across in the state at 6-foot-4, 235-pounds and the power really stands out. He has a long and loose left-handed swing with easy pull-side power that is on display whenever he finds the barrel. There’s a lot of things to like about this uncommitted bat with solid defensive ability at first base.  


Duke Stone, RHP, Uvalda, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Stone is an extremely interesting and high upside right-handed pitcher that’s still available in the 2024 class. He has an imposing 6-foot-5, 225-pound righty with great stuff, running the fastball up to 91 mph with more in the tank with two good off-speed pitches. He throws a changeup with fading action in the. 78-80 range and a tight breaking ball in the mid-70s.  

Grayson Baldovin, 2B, Marietta, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Baldovin has put together a good fall after stringing together solid performances throughout the summer circuit. This is an athletic profile with good physical projection which should continue to progress the tools even more. He has legitimate switch-hit ability that produces line drive contact from both sides. He has the ability to impact the game and would be a good addition to any class.  

Ellington Hodge, RHP, Avondale Estates, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Hodge was a name that stood out on the mound in Jupiter for the East Cobb Astros, throwing multiple innings of relief throughout the week. The 6-foot, 175-pound righty ran the fastball up to 89 mph with good life out of the hand. He mixed in a breaking ball with varying shape and a solid changeup. This is an athletic profile on the mound and the athleticism translates into the box where he shows the ability to handle the barrel.  

Jack Ryan, 1B, Peachtree City, Ga. 
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: 500 

Ryan is coming off some big performances throughout the summer and the fall in some big national events including hitting .355 at WWBA and .455 at 17u National Elite Championship. He has a strong build at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds and the bat speed stands out with good power to the pull-side. He’s one of the top ranked first baseman still available in the state and would be a great addition.  

Class of 2025

John Stuetzer, SS, Marietta, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 209 

Stuetzer is one of the most intriguing players in the state in the 2025 class and he’s still uncommitted. He’s been a consistent riser in the rankings since the spring because of a great blend of athleticism and feel for the game. He’s a two-sport star, can really run and play defense to go along with big time traits in the box. Adding him to a recruiting class would be a monstrous addition to any program.  

Troy Ford, OF, Fayetteville, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 239 

Ford was a standout at some of the biggest events during the summer, including PG Junior National. He showed intriguing traits throughout the event, running a 6.81 60-yard dash and throwing upper-80s from multiple spots while the true ability to hit from both sides. The speed plays up in game and he impacts in countless different ways. Ford is a highly ranked uncommitted prospect that has performed at a high level for multiple years.  

Tre Jackson, RHP, Decatur, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 388

Jackson has continued to show a ton of things to like on the mound in appearances in PG events. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander has natural arm speed, running the fastball up to 90 mph from an over-the-top slot. He has good feel for a nasty split finger changeup too. He also shows a lot to like at third base with power in the right-handed bat.  

Kaden(KT) Thompson, OF, Flowery Branch, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 500 

Thompson put together impressive performances throughout the 2023 circuit. He finished up the year hitting .320 after a great showing throughout the spring on one of the state’s top high school teams. He’s got good tools across the board, running a 6.8 sixty and showing a good arm from the outfield. It’s an impact left-handed bat, making this one of the more intriguing uncommitted prospects in the state.   


Hyland Brown, RHP, Marietta, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 500 

Brown is one of the top uncommitted right-handers in the state, showing big stuff when healthy. The 6-foot-4, 170-pound right-handed pitcher has run the fastball into the upper-80s with feel for a bigger shaped curveball in the low-70s and a changeup in the mid-70s. He’s going to be a big part of the Walton rotation when he gets back from his injury and will be a high level addition to a recruiting class.  

Gabe Gowder, LHP, Flowery Branch, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 500 

Gowder was a name that really jumped off the page during the high school season at Cherokee Bluff. He’s a tall and lean left-hander with good stuff that will continue to tick up as he adds strength onto the frame. He works comfortably in the low-80s, getting into the mid-80s regularly early on in outings, with good feel for two off-speed pitches. It’s a tough angle and a loose arm action. Gowder has a good chance to continue gaining velocity and will be a name to know in the state.  

Vick Gann, OF, Warner Robins, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 500 

Gann was another standout throughout the high school season for in-state powerhouse Houston County, which one the state championship in 6A. He’s an athletic outfielder with a ton of twitch that’s on display in multiple facets. He’s got good bat speed and can really run. This is a prime top of the lineup type bat that’s still available in the 2025 class.  

Troy Wilson Jr., OF, Lawrenceville, Ga. 
Class of 2025 | PG Rank: 500 

Wilson Jr. came to the Southeast Top Prospect Games in early August and his game really jumped off the page. It’s a smaller frame at 5-foot-8, 150-pounds but he showed good strength in the box with the ability to spray liners into both gaps. The speed is what really sets him apart, running a 6.52 60-yard dash and it plays in game as well. He’s a toolsy player that can impact in multiple different ways, making this an intriguing uncommitted outfielder in the state.  

Class of 2026
Branson Crawford, C, Gainesville, Ga. 
Class of 2026 | PG Rank: 162 

Crawford is as consistent of a performer as you’ll come across in the state. He is a supremely athletic backstop with great defensive acumen and has also shown a lot to like in the outfield. He has sneaky pop at the plate, showing the ability to leave the yard to the pull-side but has the ability to just put the barrel on the ball consistently. The arm strength stands out as he’s also run the fastball into the upper-80s. Crawford is a name to get familiar with as next August approaches.  

Joseph Contreras, SS, Alpharetta, Ga. 
Class of 2026 | PG Rank: 190 

Contreras has long been one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2026 class and everything has seemed to click recently. He has great bat speed from both sides of the plate and budding power, which will continue to grow as he adds strength onto the 6-foot-1, 153-pound frame. He’s also solid on the mound as he routinely gets into the mid-80s. This is an intriguing profile that’ll be interesting to follow.  

David Jackson Jr., LHP, Douglasville, Ga. 
Class of 2026 | PG Rank: 268 

Jackson Jr. is one of the more projectable players in the class, both in the state and nationally. He’s a tall and lean 6-foot-4, 185-pound left-handed pitcher/outfielder that has shown a ton of things to like in both phases. He runs the fastball into the mid-80s on the mound and it wouldn’t shock me if the velocity continues to grow. He uses leverage well in the box with monstrous power projection too. This is a name to know in the class that has big two way upside.  

Charlie Delp, 1B, Cumming, Ga. 
Class of 2026 | PG Rank: 487 

Delp has been the big-winner throughout the fall as he’s seemingly kicked it into another gear. There’s always been some serious power projection here and there’s still more coming but he’s really tapping into it already. The left-handed swing is one of the smoother in the state and the ball has started to explode off the barrel to the pull-side. He finished up the year hitting .359 with 12 doubles, four triples and three homers.  

-Cam McElwaney


Maverick Torres, RHP/OF, Seckinger
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: Natl: Top 1000, GA: #310

Torres has had an upward arrow next to his name for a while now, progressively making strides with both his stuff and velocity as the body continues to develop. He threw it well during the high school season (1st Team 8-AAAA) and replicated that success with Service baseball in the summer. It’s not hard to envision more velocity with this entire profile as a whole, still possessing lean levers with ample room to fill out both halves. Going into his senior year at Seckinger, he figures to be the ace of the staff and hopes to lead his squad back to the playoffs. He has a solid overall four pitch mix, using both a four and two seam fastball that has been in the upper 80’s at times paired with both a depthy slider and change piece to round it off. Consistency with velocity and command will be a large point of emphasis for Maverick, but he figures to be one of the more talented right-handed arms that will be an uncommitted senior in his district.
 

Cody Fuller, SS/RHP, Brookwood
Class of 2024 | PG Rank: Top 500, GA: #118

Bolstering down the left side of the infield at short for a very talented Brookwood squad coming into ‘24 will be Cody Fuller, an athletic natural middle infielder with feel for the spot and a solid arm across the diamond, has found some consistency with the stick in the last few years hitting for average while providing defensive value. A 6.8 runner that has produced exit velocities on wood in the low 90’s over a year ago, there are unquestionably tools in the shed that can and will translate to the next level of baseball somewhere. Fuller should get some attention on the recruiting trail this year and lock down a home where he can continue to progress as a ballplayer in the long run. Keep an eye on Fuller as he looks to have a big senior year in the heart of this Brookwood squad’s order.


Jayden Clark, OF, Buford
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #163
 
Coming into his senior year for Buford, Clark has done nothing but show he can handle himself in the box with a proven track record over the last few years. He can hit for average right now and we’ve seen him handle velocity with no apparent issue in the times he gets challenged with it. He has a quick set of hands that allows him to launch quickly, showing off an impressive feel to work both sides of the field. He burns as a 6.63/1.49 runner, letting it work in game as a talented base stealer. Clark provides a lot of value right now in his current profile and figures to get recruited during the entirety of his senior year.


Julian Horner, OF, Dawson County HS
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 1000, GA: #293
 
He really came to our attention early in the ‘23 campaign during a Full Count workout, putting on a really impressive batting practice round with multiple bombs placed over the left field fence. Horner gets to his juice effortlessly with a lofty approach, looking to lift it with his swing path and run up gaudy XBH numbers. Over the course of the summer this year, Horner collected nine doubles and four homeruns at PG events alone. He is going to continue to get stronger, as the upper half is lean with room for muscle. Horner has displayed the ability to handle the stick in game action and figures to get some attention on the recruiting trail as he enters his final year of prep baseball at Dawson County. 


Liam Bestermann, RHP, Peachtree Ridge
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #205
 
Liam has really popped as of late, sitting mid 80’s in our looks during the highschool season as Peachtree Ridge’s ace but recently coming into the 87-90 band at Jupiter. The stuff looks sharper and the velocity increase on the four seam fastball has naturally allowed the rest of his arsenal to play up. He posted an impressive summer campaign with 643, tossing 21.2 innings with a 1.94 ERA and 22 K’s. Control/command is going to be a point of emphasis for Bestermann with the new found velocity, but the stuff is there right now with a lateral slider in the mix as his best offering and can turn over a low 80’s change that he kills about ~400 RPM on and four inches of vertical break. Bestermann will be the ace in Peachtree Ridge’s staff this year and should get looks from college coaches. 


Carmelo Jones, OF/MIF, McEachern
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 1000, GA: #313
 
Carmelo has been an underlooked prospect for a while now and deserves some recognition going into his senior year at McEachern. He has performed with the stick both during prep ball and the travel circuit, hitting .373 over a good sample size with 18 stolen bases and a good K/BB ratio. The 6.8 wheels play in game both on the paths and in the outfield, as Carmelo can really handle himself on both sides of the game with a solid understanding of his current skillset and what he brings to the table. He has a short and compact swing with a demonstrated ability to handle velocity and spin. All of these factors should land Jones on a college campus somewhere to play baseball at the next level.


Riley Valentine, RHP, Gainesville
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 1000, GA: #329
 
A reclassification from the ‘23 class, we caught a glimpse of Valentine late in the summer season with the Aquasox organization. The lanky 6’7 right-handed pitcher has present pitchability and current feel for his three pitch mix, syncing up his delivery nicely for a prospect his age and size. He ran the fastball up to 89 at our most recent event and showed out in a solid seven inning sample size at WWBA as well. Everything in the arsenal moves with a distinct pattern as he can tie up right handed bats with the running sinker and change up eye levels with a vertical curve. It’s an enticing overall profile when you take into consideration the current feel to pitch, velocity and body projection still remaining with Valentine. 


John Beverley, OF, Brookwood
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #185
 
Beverley has just been a consistent performer for the entirety of the ‘23 campaign across all levels of competition and deserves some recognition on this list. He is a talented defender in center field with all the looks we have gotten on him there, covering lots of ground with a good first step and anticipatory routes. He’s got above average speed right now that helps him cause havoc on the basepaths and stress opposing batteries to keep him in check. In addition to all of this, Beverley is a trustworthy right-handed stick with a quick and compact swing that results in consistent contact to all fields. He provides value in many different areas of the game and looks to be a big part of Brookwood’s squad this year yet again.


Aidan Petrocco, SS/2B, Chattahoochee
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: High Follow, GA: #328 

Petrocco has all the necessary tools to contribute to a program somewhere at the next level, as it’s only a matter of time before he commits somewhere. As it stands right now, he’s currently uncommitted coming off a year in which he hit .429 with a 1.055 OPS over 146 PA’s. He limits K’s, only collecting twelve of them this year and posted 51 hits in total at PG events alone. The stick can certainly handle itself and he’s proven that time and time again. There is solid athleticism overall here and the actions up the middle lend to the idea that he can stick there long term, specifically at second base. Keep an eye on Petrocco here.

Brycen Horne, RHP, Mary Pearsons
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #100

Horne has come into a nice velocity increase in the recent months, going from a low 80’s crafty arm to a guy who can run it up to 92 when he rears back and sits in the upper 80’s. Command/control is going to be something to work out down the line but the raw stuff he currently possesses will play at the next level somewhere regardless. In our most recent look at Horne, he did a nice job changing level with the heater, filling up the zone and flipping in the low 70s breaker with a cambio mixed in there on occasion. He cruises when he’s in the zone and poised, and that will be the goal to create that consistency long term. Talented arm here that should be monitored. 

Brett Andrews, C, Redan
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #103

A reliable backstop with real feel for the spot, catch and throw skills and an arm is a coach's dream at the next level and that is exactly what Andrews brings to the table. He locked it down behind the dish in various looks we got of him over the summer, commanding the run game and showing feel for blocking it up and receiving. Strong and physical, the exit velocities are gaudy and he has pop potential in the stick as well. The key for him will be creating consistent contact, but if you can unlock that part of his game you are getting a defensive stalwart behind the plate with good intangibles to handle a staff and a power bat.

Xavier Bradley, C, Luella
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #167

Another solid uncommitted backstop in the ‘24 class is Xavier Bradley, a reliable right-handed stick with present skills behind the dish. We got various looks at him both in the academy league early in the spring and over the course of the summer, throwing out runners with clean transfers and a solid, accurate arm down to the bag. It’s a strong 5’11/190 frame built for the spot, and Bradley offers a good amount of value in the box as he hit .385 over 85 plate appearances in ‘23 PG events. There’s no doubt he currently possesses enough tools that will translate to the next level.  

Cameron King, UTL, Lamar County Comprehensive
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #171

The athleticism is what jumps off the page here with King, as he does a variety of things well on the baseball field with ample projection to pair. Standing at a lean 6’1/180 and running a 6.77 with a solid 1.55 split, King can run with room for the athletic body to fill out in the coming years. He’s been up to 85 on the bump with a loose arm stroke and has a few different secondaries he sequences in the arsenal, combined with the ability to leave the yard at a moment’s notice in the box that we saw over the summer. The long term position projection for King is up in the air right now, hence why he is listed as a utility player right now for us but has a chance long term on either side. The projection is akin to that of an “ATH” football prospect coming out of high school for football with King. 

Gavyn Seitz, RHP, North Forsyth
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 1000, GA: #291

A reliable arm for North Forsyth this past year, Seitz provides a unique look with some deception given the compact and high slot he comes through with. He gets downhill action on the fastball that sits in the mid 80’s and can pair that with both a tighter slider that gets mainly horizontal action as well as a vertical curve piece that adds a different element to his mix. He got good results over the summer, posting a .198 AVG allowed over 31+ innings of work, striking out 35 in the process while keeping the walks to just 16. There’s no doubt that he can contribute to a program at the next level and it’s not out of the question to see a bit of a velocity jump with Seitz either.

Damian Brown, RHP, Buford
Class of 2024 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 1000,  GA: #266

Don’t underestimate Brown, coming in with a slighter frame but outshines most in the class with his current arm talent and feel to spin. There’s a chance for some late bloomer physical maturity here as there is certainly room on the levers to add, as he currently sits in the mid 80’s with present carry to the four seam fastball and can really snap off a depthy curveball for whiffs. He threw extremely well over the summer, with a 1.27 ERA over 27.2 innings pitched. Brown consistently fills up the zone and has good overall mechanics and pacing to his delivery, providing multiple innings for his club when needed. There’s a real chance for him to pop in the future, but even if the current package is the ceiling he can provide meaningful value to a college at the next level.


Jared Glenn, 3B/RHP, Dacula
Class of 2025 | PG Rank - Natl: #204, GA: #17
 
One of the most talented players in his region, Glenn will be a key piece moving forward for Dacula both on the bump and in the lineup. He offers some two-way intrigue right now, as he sits in the mid to upper 80’s on the fastball and can spin it some with a solid curveball and turn over a change. Whether or not this will continue to be explored at the next level is to be determined, he certainly handles himself on the bump with a low pulse and makes pitches consistently for his club. On the flip, he provides a middle of the order juice with a balanced and controlled right-handed swing. As he continues to fill out, the pop continues to come in bunches as he put three over the fence this year on the summer circuit. He gets to it easily and everything he does is under control and poised. A top player in the state and highly ranked across the entire country, Glenn is sure to catch plenty of eyes from college coaches over the next year and more. 


Noah Jordi, 1B, ECB Academy
Class of 2025 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #151
 
Jordi has seen his stock rise significantly in the course of the last few months, adding visible strength and size to the frame that has translated across every phase of his game. At the most recent showcase he attended in front of our scouting staff, he impressed during his batting practice round with multiple balls parked over the pull side fence. In addition to this, he showed off clean actions around the bag at first with a solid, accurate arm across the diamond. He has really come into his own over the last year now and continues to hit really well in game with his selective, patient approach. The power continues to creep into game action, posting nine extra base hits this year and it will be intriguing to see what that may look like as the high school academy season kicks off next spring. Jordi’s stock continues to rise.


John Loudon, OF, Marist
Class of 2025 | PG Rank - Natl: #362, GA: #29
 
The athleticism and hand speed here from Loudon are undeniable, as the twitchy primary outfielder continues to come into more size and strength as he develops as a prospect. Just this year he put two baseballs over the fence, a testament to the growth he has seen the last year or so. He possesses some of the quickest hands in the state for the class, whipping the barrel head around effortlessly creating juice that punches above his current size. As Loudon continues to iron out his swing and create consistent lift without sacrificing contact, he will be a must watch as an uncommitted prospect within the state of Georgia. 


Matt Pearch, RHP, Dunwoody
Class of 2025 | PG Rank - Natl: Top 500, GA: #44
 
The talent was easy to spot here all the way back in ‘22 when we got our first look at Pearch in the Peach State invitational. Since then, he has only seen his stock gradually increase. The stuff and projection has already garnered D1 interest and he figures to come off the market sooner rather than later as schools are going to be in hot pursuit of his services. He has run the four seam up to 88-mph in recent looks with considerable carry at the top of the zone, then can snap off a two plane breaker in the low 70s at will with a show me change right around 78-mph. It’s a whippy arm with controlled intent, filling up the zone nicely and showing a fundamental understanding of how to pitch. A two sport athlete (Football QB), the arm talent is undeniable and he’s an athlete on the bump that shows with his movement patterns. Pearch is going to be a name to follow closely this upcoming season.


Reiston Durham, SS/2B, Dacula
Class of 2026 | PG Rank - Natl: #224, GA: #24
 
Durham is going to be a prospect to follow out of Dacula for the next few years as he enters into his recruiting phase. The talented, young middle infielder can pick it with the glove and is developing arm strength that should allow him to stick at short long term. He has impressed in every look we’ve seen of him at the spot, covering a lot of ground with a quick first step and clean transfers that help the arm play up right now. It’s a reliable left-handed stick that is showing gap to gap pop already and projects for more when additional size comes into the picture. Durham figures to play a large role in the success of the Dacula program as the years go on here, and at just 15.6 you have to dream on the projection.


William Myhand, OF, Mill Creek
Class of 2026 | PG Rank - Natl: #452, GA: #44
 
Myhand is another young ‘26 in the same Gwinnett region as Durham who projects to make big contributions to both his high school and travel clubs over the next few years. He’s got the current athleticism and fundamental base you look for in a young ‘26 with present feel for the barrel and bat speed that lends itself to success long term. He has a long established track record of hitting, showing it off this summer with a 1.166 OPS, fifteen extra base hits (2 HR’s) and only six strikeouts over 129 plate appearances. The numbers speak for itself, as Myhand should be considered a strong middle of the order stick that can produce for years to come. 

-Michael Albee

Greyson Gegg (’24, Saint Simons Island, Ga.)- the 6-foot-3, 190-pound left-handed hitter displays a feel for the barrel with length out front and easy juice to the pull side. The Glynn Academy right-handed outfielder has a strong arm in rightfield and the athleticism to move to first base with solid footwork around the bag.

Garrett Droege (’24, Acworth, Ga.)- the 5-foot-11, 185-pound right-handed hitter for Mount Paran Christian is an athletic outfielder with the skills and speed to play all three spots. He stays through the middle of the field at the plate with power from gap-to-gap. A talented outfielder that possesses the skills and acumen to succeed at the next level.

Scotty Milbourn (’24, Woodstock, Ga.)- the 6-foot, 185-pound right-handed pitcher for River Ridge has seen his velocity jump to 92 mph in the past year. Milbourn drives down the slope with his strong lower-half and utilizes a hard breaking ball in the upper-70s as a put-away pitch. He averaged over a strikeout per inning during the 2023 PG season and finished with 49 strikeouts and only 18 walks.

Sam Swain (’24, Conyers, Ga.)- the 5-foot-8, 181-pound infielder for Georgia Premier Academy posted a .376 batting average during the 2023 PG season with only 10 strikeouts in 103 plate appearances. Swain was named to the 2023 WWBA World Championship All-Tournament Team in Jupiter and has turned the corner as one of the top hitters from South Georgia.

Brian Rivera (’24, Kennesaw, Ga.)- the 5-foot-10, 185-pound third baseman for Kennesaw Mountain has displayed the ability to play multiple positions at a high level while showing athleticism all over the diamond. The right-handed hitter has a quick bat with the ability to turn around velocity with his strong base and barrel control through the zone.

Carson Rech (’24, Milton, Ga.)- the 5-foot-10, 175-pound third baseman for Cambridge High School hit .352 with a .937 on-base plus slugging percentage for the Georgia Jackets 16U- Nationals. The right-handed hitting Rech has hit at every stop and displays a solid approach and impact in the box as a young 2024 grad.

Braden Gabel (’24, Kennesaw, Ga.)- the 5-foot-8, 150-pound middle infielder displays the quickness and soft hands to play on both sides of the bag. His quick release and ability to throw from all angles allow his defensive skills to play up on the left side as the shortstop for Mount Paran Christian. A right-handed hitter, Gabel uses the whole field with a compact stroke and uses his above average speed and baseball instincts on the basepaths.

Sam Neal (’24, Atlanta, Ga.)- the 6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed pitcher from North Atlanta High School is no stranger to pitching in big games and competing against the top talent in the Atlanta area. He moves the ball around the zone with a three-pitch mix and avoids barrels with his sinking fastball and big curveball for swing and miss. An uncommitted left-handed pitcher who takes the ball and commands the strike zone.

Miles Mador (’25, Atlanta, Ga.)- the 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed hitter for Pace Academy is a force on the offensive side of the ball with easy pop and control of the strike zone. The primary backstop hit eight homeruns during the 2023 PG season for Exposure 17U National and couple that with his strong leadership skills behind the plate and Mador is a top uncommitted catcher in the Georgia class.

KJ Hart (’25, Woodstock, Ga.)- the 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-handed pitcher for River Ridge has come into his own with his big frame and ability to repeat his delivery. Hart sits in the upper-80s and as high as 91 mph with his fastball and uses his tight slider with depth as a put away. The primary right-handed hitting outfielder has also put up big offensive numbers for the Georgia Jackets 16U-Nationals with a .413 batting average and five homeruns in 75 at-bats during 2023 PG events.

Cameron Novak (’25, Canton, Ga.)- the 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-handed pitcher will be a big part of the Blessed Trinity Cath rotation this year. Novak sits in the upper-80s and controls the strike zone with the ability to command the baseball during big games. No stranger to pitching in big games, Novak should be in the 90s during the Spring as a top-of-the-rotation uncommitted arm for the powerhouse program.

Tyler Ellis (’26, Kingsland, Ga.)- the 6-foot, 180-pound left-handed pitcher from Trinity Christian Academy has shown some serious stuff on the mound. Ellis has run the fastball up to 92 mph and recorded 40 strikeouts in just over 30 innings pitched for MBA 2026 Scout Team. A power left-hander that can take over games on the mound and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 2023 WWBA Sophomore World Championship.

Jack Richerson (’26, Atlanta, Ga.)- the 6-foot-4, 192-pound right-handed hitter for Marist High School has been a consistent hitter in PG events for the 643 DP Cougars 16U. The long and lean Richerson uses his leverage in the box to drive the ball to all fields. His offensive numbers over the past year are staggering with his .558 batting average in 110 plate appearances and the primary third baseman also runs the fastball into the high-80s on the bump.

Reece Grodeman (’26, Silver Creek, Ga.)- the 6-foot-4, 189-pound right-handed pitcher for Model High School is a two-way talent with a smooth left-handed stroke as a secondary third baseman. Grodeman runs the fastball up to 90 mph and has recorded 34 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings and a .409 batting average in 79 plate appearances for TL10 16U this year.

Mason Corsaro (’26, Suwanee, Ga.)- the 5-foot-10, 163-pound left-handed pitcher for Lambert High School has seen his velocity increase while getting quality innings on the varsity squad as a true freshman. He recorded 14 strikeouts in 13 innings over the summer for the FTB/TBT Phillies 2026 and Smartense 18U Baseball. Corsaro will be a big part of the Longhorn rotation as he matures into his frame and adds strength to build upon his quality three-pitch mix as a left-handed pitching prospect.

Article Image
WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 | Day 4 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...

Continued to shine at the top of the lineup as the left-handed hitter is your prototypical leadoff hitter, consistently finding a way on and scoring. Takes quality at-bats with an above average awareness of the strike zone. Loose hands with easy bat speed that find the barrel often for hard line drives into the gaps that frequently turn into XBHs. Confident and balanced approach. Also...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

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 West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs. Stays tight in the turn with present strength and the approach plays to all fields....

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend. Offensively, she batted .444 with 5 RBIs and an impressive 6 stolen bases, which led the tournament. She also scored 6 runs for her team and...

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

13u & 14u WWBA Prospect Recap

Carlo Rivero struck out the side in the final inning to secure a big quarterfinal win. Sat 87-89 & ball explodes out of the hand, CB & CH both dynamic go-to pitches as well. #WWBAWorlds @Florida_PG https://t.co/l8a4f1psyK — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 19, 2026 2031 SS/RHP Carlo Rivero (Apopka, Fla.) debuted in the rankings as the top player in the country, and he had widened the gap by a good bit after the fall he had, capped off by an unreal showing in West Palm Beach. He hit almost .700 on the event with 7 of his 10 hits going for extra bases, while driving in 13, scoring 13 times himself, walking 8 times and no striking out in a single trip to the plate across 7 games. The blend of bat speed and pure strength, paired with his approach are that of someone who is much more mature, yet he’s doing it all at just 14 ½. He also jumped on the...
