Uncommitted Gems: Texas & Deep South

Uncommitted Gems: Georgia | Coastal/MA/NE 

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.  *All players below are listed as uncommitted on their Perfect Game profile at the time of publishing*

Roland Aguillon, RHP, League City, Texas 
Class of 2024 PG Rank: 500 



Aguillon is a solid arm who has feel for three pitches. He’s a physical right-hander working from a difficult lower slot, working high-80s consistently and touching 90-91 mph. His changeup has great shape and depth to it, and his high-70s slider is mixed in for strikes as well. Aguillon competes on the hill and simply throws good strikes with a strong-bodied frame capable of having more in the tank.  

Brandon Lumkins Jr., OF, Houston, Texas 
Class of 2024 PG Rank: 500

Lumkins Jr. put together a solid summer and is a table setter at the top of the order with an impactful left-handed swing. He’s a good athlete capable of roaming grass with a strong arm and there’s some sneaky strength off the barrel. There’s some good tools here as a 2024 product who can play at the next level.  

Hawk Bowers, RHP, Denton, Texas 
Class of 2024 PG Rank: 500 

Bowers is a projectable right-hander with some of the better arm talent left in the uncommitted ‘24 crop. He’s been stellar this summer, getting up to 92 mph with some heavier arm-side run from a full arm swing. There’s some late sweep and teeth to a mid-70s slider that showed ti be a bat-missing offering, and he’s mixed in a changeup as well. It’s big traits on the hill with a lanky, athletic frame to build upon. Don’t be mistaken either, he has some thunder in the stick as well. Get on this one. 


Griffin Lyczkowski, MIF, Spring, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: Follow 

Lyczkowski showed out during the later stages of the year and is equipped with a whippy barrel and traits to play all over the dirt. It’s an athletic frame with present pull-side strength to the profile, getting extended with pretty easy bat speed. He has good instincts on the dirt and can change slots on the move. There’s some juice to tap into and the overall package is enticing.  

Joshua Hunter, RHP, Magnolia, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 500

Hunter is a good right-hander with now stuff and three confident pitches. He’s a solid athlete, living mostly 86-88 this summer and reaching low-90s on occasion with good running life. He has a late tilt and depth to a mid/high-70s slider and has feel for a solid changeup to mix, as well. There’s good spin characteristics and he really pitched all summer long. He can impact a program at the next level.  

Jack Buerkle, OF, Austin, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 488 

Buerke is a solid two-sport athlete with solid traits and tools across the board. He’s a 6.9 runner with good range and footspeed that shows in center field. He has quick hands from a direct path with solid bat-to-ball skills in a lean, wiry frame. He showed well with the stick this past summer and the speed can fit a mold atop an order at the collegiate level.  

Cody Palacios, OF, Magnolia Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 500 

Palacios is another spark plug type atop an order. He’s a twitchy center fielder with solid bat-to-ball and good tools across the board. A 6.7 runner, Palacios can really run and wreak havoc on the paths. He’s a good mover out in center and there’s some loose wrists with good barrel control at the plate. The Magnolia West product strung together consistent contact in looks and his athleticism should be warranted for the 2025 class.  

Tanner Carson, INF/RHP, Southlake, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: Top 1000 

Carson has long been a standout performer in PG events and remains one of the safer uncommitted names in the class. He’s a strong, physical corner infielder with a good handle for the bat. It’s a loose path with some heavy hands and good bat speed. The strength shows in looks, too. He has a good arm across and the instincts to be on the dirt, but the arm talent has made an appearance too with a high-80s fastball and tight slurvy breaker to mix. He’s consistently on the barrel in looks and should be on the radar.  

Caiden Olivas, 1B, Midland, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 500 

Olivas came onto the PG tournament scene later in the year and made an everlasting impression since. He’s a wiry 6-foot-3 left-handed stick with ample strength to tap into. He has a real loose set of hands with low tension juice that has shown up big in looks. He has good rhythm and there’s just a ton to like in the stick long term as the frame projects.  

Cade Julius, RHP, Mansfield, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 500 

Julius is all of a projectable 6-foot-4, 200 pounds and can pop in the velo department this upcoming year. He’s settled in mostly mid-80s and ramped it up to 87 in events, but the feel to spin is what stands out the most. He can pronate a real good fading changeup to both sings and can spin a low-70s breaker with intent. The traits and frame have the ingredients to not be committed for long.  

Marcus Harris, 1B/3B, Rosharon, Texas 
Class of 2025 PG Rank: 494 

If schools are looking for power, Harris has it and more. It’s real juice and bad intentions in the box with big bat speed and pull-side strength. He can leverage the barrel out front and it plays to the deepest parts of the yard when squared. The physical frame sits more of a corner infield type, but the power potential was an immediate standout amongst the Texas crop and can be tapped into at the next level.  

Jackson Marshall, OF, Montgomery, Texas 
Class of 2026 PG Rank: High Follow 

Marshall was one of the best in-game performers this summer and looks to have a real knack for the barrel. He showed good adjustability in the hands and put the bat-to-ball skills on display. He’s a confident defender in center field and the bat stood out in multiple facets. He may not be the highest end toolsy type, but the traits jumped off the page at points.  


Connor Comeau, RHP/INF, Pflugerville, Texas 
Class of 2026 PG Rank: 500 

Comeau oozes upside on both sides. He’s a wiry 6-foot-3 frame who hasn't’ really begun to fill out. The arm talent is legit, running it up to 88 mph in events with good life, showing a distinct slider and curveball mix all from a lower slot release point. It’s huge projection on the hill, but the left-handed stick has made all types of impact to both gaps and even leaving the yard twice this summer. The juice really projects. He’s young for the class and is a name to know once the 2026s roll around.  

-Isaiah Burrows 

Trey Dooley (‘24 TN) 
A 6-foot plus running outfielder with twitch and decent juice is usually well off the market by this time in the cycle and somehow Dooley is still floating around without a a school to call home in a year. The performances I’ve seen in back-to-back summers now have been filled with loud contact and multi-faceted impact on games. The body projects well for additional power at a subtle loss of the current speed but it’s an absolute no brainer. The height of the ceiling plus the current production and ability are too good to let slip through the cracks. 

Trey Tarkington (‘24 TN) 
Big tall right-handers that have decent movements and good stuff with even average-ish command are signed daily across the nation, Tarkington’s command in the few looks I have on him has been average to solid at the very least. The fastball plays heavy in the upper 80’s/ low 90’s. Let's his extension advantages play to his benefit on the hands with a breaking ball that has future plus traits. He may be a player that needs a year at the D1 level before contributing and with the inflated transfer portal numbers, may best be serviced raising his personal stock at a premium juco before making a firm decision on a 4-year. 

Caleb Doty (‘25 MS) 
I really like what I see from Doty in all parts of the game. Decent defender that could play an immediate utility role at the collegiate level. Offensively, there’s loads of bat speed with solid barrel skills and should eventually tap into some of the power that his sturdy frame provides. He’s got tons of feel to play the game and should be a guy that can make an almost seamless transition to the college speed of play.  

Gray Eubanks (‘25 TN) 
The left-handed hitting infielder, Eubanks has been one of my favorite guys to watch for a year and a half now. It’s a pure stroke with top end bat to ball skills and feel to hit. I've seen lasers in every direction. Handles premium stuff with ease with limited drop off L-L. Can be thrust into any one of the 3 non-first base infield positions and hold it down no problem. Future primary second baseman and while that may deter some, it should not stop anyone from bringing on a potential corner stone type table setter. Him being on this “Uncommitted Gems” list makes me almost angry and I should expect him to find his 4-year home sooner rather than later. 

Chandler Day (‘25 TN) 
We saw legit performance and legit performance from Day in the spring of 2023, however the recruiting process may look a bit different for him than most in present day. QB1 for the Houston ‘Stangs is moving his way through the playoffs and hasn’t taken throughout the summer circuit. His cover 2 hole shot is a thing of beauty and may garner some collegiate interest on the football field as well. On the mound, it’s a high slot upper 80’s fastball with decent run and well above average command to pair with one of the better prep left-handed curveballs I’ve ever seen. Big 12-6 dive to it, missed countless bats this spring. The school that lands Day is going to have to do the good ole fashioned leg work to get out there and see him barring an unforeseen appearance on the summer trail in 2024. 

Cason Hill (‘25 TN) 
This right-handed htting outfielder is loaded up with tools and really jumped onto the scene at Main Event last winter. The plus running ability matched with his loud exit velocity numbers put him in the minds of many. The swing is well sequenced and engages the lower half well to generate a portion of the strong impact off the barrel. The gap power projects to be a future above average with speed that will play a role both on the bases and in his range in the outfield. If there is any kind of jump in production next spring coaches will wish they got him in the fold a bit sooner. 

Brody Winemiller (‘25 TN) 
Right-handed power hitting corner bats are the group most hurt by the inflated transfer portal numbers in 2023 but here is my case for Winemiller despite that. It’s a lean frame that still has projection despite outputting the type of power that gets middle of the order Juco power hitters signed every year. The swing creates loft without selling out for loft. He cut down on the swing and miss quite a bit over the last year or so and has shown much better feel to hit while still looking to do harm with the stick. Corner infielder with potential corner outfielder flexibility given the opportunity. Power is silly and not even at its fullest potential yet. 

Ethan Barnes (‘25 MS) 
Going into the summer I was still a bit on the fence about Barnes and his production offensively but given now that he has backed it up with barrels, he puts himself in an almost invaluable position as a solid defensive primary catcher that can also play the infield with decent ability and coordination. The swing is simple and delivers the barrel to well extended contact frequently. Projects for added power, potential future above average tool. Everyday type backstop with the flexibility to kick out from the behind the plate but still remain in the lineup. 

Quinn Showalter (‘26 TN) 
With the new rules obviously, Showalter cannot commit but still should be on the radar after a torrid summer capped off by his huge performance at WWBA Freshman Worlds. Multiple bombs from the big righty that was thought to be a primary pitcher by most. Don’t get me wrong, Showalter shines on the mound but who’s to say if that type of power shows up with increasing regularity that he can’t do both! He is entering only his Sophomore season at St. George’s and is already in the minds of many potential suitors in the area. It should be fun to watch the progression on the mound and at the dish throughout the spring. Final big hat tip to Showalter for his Summer ‘23.

Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026 Commitment: Bucknell Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach. Patrick Diaz ('26, NY) 102 EV off the bat. Impact to the pull side. #PGNational @PGMidAtlantic @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/NN0L3FRdO9 — PG Showcases (@PGShowcases) July 9, 2025 Patrick Diaz,...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...

Huntington Beach HS World Series Recap

MVPitcher: Duncan McLeod The uncommitted junior toed the slab in three of the four games for Team Mick, tossing 3 2/3 innings.  Zero walks, zero hits and 6 punchouts for the lefty who was used both as a starter in the series clinching game 4 and he closed out game 3 on Friday in quick fashion.  McLeod was very efficient as well, needing just 42 pitches over all his outings.  In the game 4 start, over two innings he punched out 3, with one strikeout with all of his offerings.  The mid 80’s fastball regularly played up, set up with efficient use of the secondaries, with the breaking ball 73/74 and fading change-up 72-74.   Owen Bone (2026) at it again... Solo shot in the 5th to tie things up. Back to back days with a home run for Bone. #PGHS pic.twitter.com/2JC9qETI5h — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) December 13, 2025 MV Hitter: ...

13u Tourney All-American Team

What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort.  As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and...

14u Tourney All-American Team

Tyler Russo
Article Image
Player of the Year: Asher Williams It was an incredible year for Williams that was rewarded with a trip to the 14U Select Fest, before some more impressive play in the fall. He came to the plate almost 250 times in PG tournaments throughout 2025 and reached base in well over half of them, hitting to a .500 AVG while slugging a 14U circuit best 12 bombs and driving in 113 runs. The numbers on the surface are ridiculous, but when you look at the high-level events he put them up in, it makes it even more impressive. Pitcher of the Year: Tristan Blalock Blalock earns this honor after a dominant 2025 where he struck out 85 batters in just 48.2 innings of work with a minuscule 1.58 ERA. This included several strong performances at many national level tournaments and showcases where he was able to bully some of the best hitters in the country. It’s hard not to fall in love with...

PG Draft: Gut Feel Guys

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While we are nearing the turn of the calendar to the 2026 year, that means we are just inching closer to the beginning of the season for many high school players and college baseball is on the horizon. We are prepping for a reshuffle of the 2026 MLB Draft Board as well here amongst the PG Draft staff. But before we get to that, we sat down and have each picked a couple of players who are in the mix to get selected in a couple of different buckets.  We have prospects who could go into the Top 30 picks or so, prospects who could be selected in the Top 5 rounds, and prospects who could go inside of the Top 10 rounds. With the draft quite far down the road and a lot of re-shuffling to be done as these players play themselves into certain spots on the draft board, our scouts picked some players who fit into these “buckets” who are gut-feel guys. These are the guys that our PG...

Hitter of the Year: Landon Bonner The 2028 class saw many players from across the country take the next step in their development as they entered the High School ranks. There were huge performances from highly ranked players on the PG circuit as well as some under-the-radar guys who burst onto the scene. Landon Bonner came into Sophomore National as a Top 500 ranked player and after an impressive showing, left with all eyes on him as a rankings riser in the class. The left-handed hitting shortstop from The Colony, Texas, had a summer to remember with All-Tournament Team selections in three of his next four events culminating with a historic performance at the 2025 PG 15U WWBA National Championship. The Hebron High School prep went 20-for-24 in nine games for 5 Star Mafia 15U Black with four homeruns and 12 runs batted in. He also scored 17 runs and finished with a mind-boggling 2.500...

16u Tourney All-American Team

AJ Denny

Hitter of the Year: Koa Romero is the Hitter of the Year for the 16u group, as he would come to every premier event of the summer and earn All-Tournament honors (Beast of the East, 16/17u WWBA, Jupiter) in every single one. Over 82 plate appearances, Romero would pump ten homeruns with forty two RBI and sixteen walks, good for a .378 average and 1.339 OPS. The performance on volume at the best events of the year pushed Romero over the edge here, as he’d hit a pair of homeruns in Jupiter (one of them at 112 EV) as an underclassmen and collect double digit hits in BOTH WWBA events with a combined six jacks over the two tournaments. It was a summer that combined performance and winning on the biggest stages for Romero. It’s a quiet left-handed swing that packs a punch. He would reap the benefits of his performances, earning a commitment to LSU and jumping to the #74 prospect in...
