Class of 2024 Tourney AA Team

Vincent Cervino
Tyler Henninger
Isaiah Burrows
Tyler Kotila
The 2023 circuit was a busy one all over the country. Prospects all over showed off their tools and made names for themselves. They took the field all over the country and were able to put together some pretty memorable performances overall. The big year in 2023 makes it fun to think about how 2024 could be an even bigger year on the tournament circuit. 

In this piece, we will take a look at some of the statistical standouts from the 2024 class. These are this school year’s seniors, the ones who may hear their name called in next summer’s draft, compete for a state title this spring, and head to campus next fall, continuing their journey with a collegiate program.  



As these players across the country head into their final spring of prep ball, let’s take a look back at this summer’s top performers as we break down the top hitters and pitchers on the Class of 2024 Tournament All-American selections. 

In total, between the first and second teams of hitters and pitchers, 34 of these players were at PG National, showing off their stuff. Seventeen of those pitching and hitting prospects were also named to the PG All-American Classic rosters last summer, speaking to an awe-inspiring year of performances. That’s not all, though. All of these prospects showed out and pieced together some good performances between the white lines on both sides of the ball. 

Leading the way in terms of All-Tournament Team Selections was Aiden Otano (Nevada), who earned an astounding 17 All-Tournament Team honors on the circuit in 2023. This includes two different MVP performances along the way. Ryan Costello (New Jersey) took home the honors nine times as the next highest on the list. After that, Alex Hernandez (Georgia) and  Jake Meadows (Florida) earned ATT honors eight times.  

With that in mind, let’s hand out some Player and Pitcher of the Year Honors. 



Player of the Year: Hunter Carns 

When it comes to the 2023 Tournament Player of the Year, Jacksonville, Florida’s Hunter Carns takes home the honors. He put together one of the best years amongst all 2024 prospects and certainly made some noise all year long, capping things off with an extremely loud performance this fall at the WWBA Championship in Jupiter. Carns hit .316 with a 1.082 OPS on the year, with six doubles, three triples, and nine home runs. He drove in 45 runs and also swiped 21 bags on the season. The Florida State Seminoles commit was named to six All-Tournament Teams this year. This fall in Jupiter, Carns really stood out. His performance earned him Most Valuable Player honors. He was barreling up balls left and right and had his 115 mph home run that made some serious noise. Carns had quite the year, and he’ll add 17U Tournament All-American & Player of the Year to his honors as well. 



Pitcher of the Year: Eli Buxton 

On the other side of things, a ton of arms logged quality outing after quality outing. But, for our 2023 Tournament Pitcher of the Year Honors, it is Eli Buxton out of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Buxton logged 35.0 innings pitched this year on the circuit, where he pitched to a 0.20 ERA and a 0.37 WHIP. He was downright dominant on the bump, allowing just 14 hits while striking out 56 opposing hitters. He was named to six All-Tournament Teams on the circuit this past season. He’s got a really lengthy and loose 6-foot-6, 185-pound frame. The Arizona State commit has been up to 90 mph on the fastball, with a gorgeous swing-and-miss slider and feel for a changeup. With that three-pitch mix, it was easy to see how Buxton had success this year, mowing down opposing hitters, outing after outing. Buxton takes home, Pitcher of the Year honors as he heads into his final spring of prep ball.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt. He showed out on both sides of the ball this past weekend, really getting it done at the plate. He finished the weekend 7-for-15, with a double and 4 RBI to...

The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander and Creighton commit paired the fastball with a low-80s slider that flashed two-plane break and a cutter that played well off the mix. Kakach worked with a loose, quick arm from a high three-quarter slot, creating quality movement across his mix while displaying...

The 6-foot-2 left-handed pitcher ended up going five innings, allowing only one hit and one run, while striking out nine.

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Easton Vandyke (’27 RHP, RISE 2027/2028, VA) opened Day 4 by running his fastball up to 84 mph, showing consistent strike-throwing ability throughout the outing. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound right-hander paired the fastball with a low-70s curveball and a 75 mph changeup that he consistently kept at the bottom of the zone. Vandyke worked with a quick, whippy arm action, getting down the mound efficiently while filling up the strike zone with all three pitches. ’27 P Daniel McDevitt, the No. 91 shortstop in Florida and No. 531 overall in the state, has been dominant through four innings, working in the low-to-mid 80s with a quality two-pitch offspeed mix that shows consistent depth.
