Class of 2024 Tourney AA Team

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.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘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...

It was incredible Opening Weekend across the nation with numerous upsets, tightly contested series’ and dominating sweeps. Beyond that, there were generational individual performances, lockdown pitching appearances and record-breaking runs scored as well. It feels like we have been saying this every year for the past decade, but our game is alive and well. More and more programs are getting massive returns on their investments and the fans are turning out in record numbers to see college baseball in its Golden Era. As is typical this time of year, there was very little movement within the poll, in fact, our Top 15 places in the poll remain unchanged. No. 1 LSU (3-0), No. 2 Georgia Tech (3-0) and No. 3 Tennessee (3-0) all took care of business at home, treating their fans to a show of their offensive firepower. No. 16 Coastal Carolina (3-0) and No. 17 UNC (3-0) both had perfect...

Mid-Atlantic All Region & Top Tools

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 All Region & Top Tools

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 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.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
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...
