NORTHWEST REGION (WA, OR, ID, WY, AK, MT)  
The Northwest Region continues its recent pattern of providing plenty of high ceiling high school talent to the national rankings despite having easily the smallest population base of any of the PG regions.  The 2025 class features five Perfect Game All-Americans, all of whom are ranked among the top 35 seniors in the country and three are among the top 12; 2nd ranked Xavier Neyens, 9th ranked Kruz Schoolcraft and 12th ranked Slate De Brun.



Let by two-way All-American standout Mason Pike and highly ranked 2027 shortstop Brayden Landry, Puyallup High School (Wash.) is the only team from the region in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50, checking in at an impressive 10th overall.

C – Teagan Scott (Jr., South Salem HS, Ore.)

Scott was a 2023 PG 14U Select Festival player and is the top ranked junior in Oregon at 139th overall nationally.  The right-handed hitter led the state in hitting as a sophomore at .521-2-32 while also drawing 32 walks for a .655 OB% and was named first team All-State as well.  Scott has a strong 5-11/195 build and all the physical tools to stay behind the plate defensively.  He is committed to Oregon State.

1B – Brock Silvers (Sr., Middleton Academy, Idaho)

Silvers looks like a first baseman with his long and still projectable 6-5/210 build and he’s played plenty of third base and can also play left field.  He’s a strong right-handed hitter who has notably hit better in the summers with wood bats (.395 in 38 PG games) than he has in the springs in Idaho.  The 104th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally, Silvers is signed with South Florida.

MIF – Teddy Tokheim (Sr., Lakeside HS, Wash.)

The 119th ranked player nationally in the 2025 class, Tokheim projects more as a third baseman at the next level but will be positioned in the middle of the field on this team.  Much like his fellow All-Region middle infielder, Tokheim is an offensive first prospect and has hit .452-5-49 in 46 PG games over the last three years.  A 6-3/200 right-handed hitter, Tokheim is signed with Stanford.

MIF – Finn Leach (Sr., Nathan Hale HS, Wash.)

Leach is a 6-1/195 switch-hitter who really stands out with his bat and offensive potential.  He’s hit pretty much everywhere during his high school career, including .420 as a sophomore and .493 as a junior at Nathan Hale HS and .407 with a 49:20 walk to strikeout ratio in almost 200 PG career at-bats.  An Arizona State signee, Leach is the 146th ranked player in the PG 2025 class rankings and fourth in the state of Washington

3B – Xavier Neyens (Sr., Mount Vernon HS, Wash.)

Neyens debuted as a catcher at the 2021 PG Select Festival but shortly afterwards transitioned to left side infield, where he is now the second ranked player nationally in the 2025 class behind another third baseman with a very similar profile in Ethan Holliday.  Neyens hit .443-3-24 as a junior at Mount Vernon HS while also going 7-0, 1.35 on the mound, where he tops out at 94 mph.  He is signed with Oregon State.

OF – Will Cahill (Sr., Seattle Prep, Wash.)

Cahill is a strong-bodied 6-2/205 lefthanded hitting outfielder with a right field throwing arm and very promising power at the plate.  He is signed with Washington.

OF – Gabriel Coltman (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Coltman and Silver are interchangeable on the All-Region team but the 6-5/235 Coltman is very athletic for his size with 6.8 speed and a 90 mph throwing arm.  An immensely strong right-handed hitter, Coltman can hit the ball as far as anyone in the country and is well known at national home run hitting contests.  He’s ranked 140th in the PG national rankings and is signed with South Carolina-Upstate.

OF –  Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun gets tons of comparisons to undersized and athletically dynamic first round outfielders such as Corbin Carroll and Slade Caldwell and it’s easy to see the similarities.  The left-handed hitting de Brun is a lightning quick 6.39 runner whose speed seems to play up in games and projects as a plus defender in centerfield.  He’s one of the youngest top 2025 prospects and is signed with Vanderbilt.

LHP Jonah Aase (Sr., Meridian HS, Wash.)

Aase is a very polished southpaw who has a full four-pitch mix including a fastball that tops out at 91 mph from an easy low-effort delivery.  He struck out 32 in 16 innings during 2024 in PG play and was named the Most Valuable Player at the 17U Ultimate Baseball Championship-West.  The 286th ranked player in the 2025 class nationally, Aase is signed with Louisiana State.

RHP Bryce Collins (Jr., Kelso HS, Wash.)

Collins is a very projectable 6-2/190 right-hander who already works in the 88-91 mph range with a low 80’s slider and upper 70’s change up.  A quality athlete who also plays the outfield, Collins is committed to Mississippi and is ranked 298th nationally in the 2026 class.

RHP River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton was one of the most improved pitchers in the country in 2024 and ended the year as the 30th ranked player in the 2025 class and the sixth ranked right-handed pitcher.  He was up to 95 mph at the PG All-American Classic and has an advanced feel for switching between a slider and curveball and throwing strikes with all his pitches.  Hamilton is signed with Louisiana State.

RHP Eli Herst (Jr., Seattle Academy, Wash.)

Herst is a 6-5/205 right hander who just turned 17 years old but is already throwing 90 mph with lots of polish to his upper 70’s slider and low 80’s change up.  The 157th ranked pitcher in the 2026 class and top ranked Washington junior, Herst is committed to Vanderbilt.

LHP Kruz Schoolcraft (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Schoolcraft is the second ranked pitcher in the 2025 class and the top ranked left-hander.  Originally a member of the 2026 class, the 6-8/230 Schoolcraft completely dominated Oregon high school baseball in 2024, posting a 9-0, 0.47 record with 146 strikeouts in 71 innings while also hitting .506-7-30 at the plate.  He pitches in the 93-97 mph range with a big swing and miss slider and is signed with Tennessee.

UT   Mason Pike (Sr., Puyallup HS, Wash.)

Pike started his high school and PG careers as more of a primary shortstop but his big arm has made him a legit two-way guy at the college level who could go either way as a professional.  An Oregon State signee and PG All-American, Pike went 8-0, 1.06 with 83 strikeouts in 59 innings as a junior and has been up to 96 mph off the mound.  A switch-hitter at the plate, he hit .431 as a junior and hit .500-0-7 at the season-opening 2025 MLK West Championship in January.

 
Northwest Region Top Tools


Best Hitter for Average: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun hit .413-3-13 with 22 walks in 25 games in 2024 PG play, coming on the heels of his 2023 season that saw him hit .462-0-6 with 13 walks in 16 games.  He’s going to be a high average/high on-base percentage top of the order hitter at the next level right away.

Best Hitter for Power: Xavier Neyens (Sr., Mount Vernon HS, Wash.)

While Gabriel Coltman may have more base raw power, Neyens power translates best in games and actually comes out better with wood bats than metal bats.  The left-handed hitter shows easy gap to gap middle of the field power and can hit the ball just as far to left center field as to the pull side.

Best Runner: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

de Brun ranks among the most impactful speed players in the country, with a great combination of first step quickness and top end speed.  That speed could be most impactful on the offensive side given how often he projects to get on base with his offensive skill set.

Best Defensive Catcher: Teagan Scott (Jr., South Salem HS, Ore.)

Scott’s arm strength stands out defensively but he’s also a quality athlete with good lower half quickness and flexibility.

Best Defensive Infielder: Rilen Niclai (Jr., Service HS, Alaska)

Niclai’s brother, Coen, is a freshman slugging catcher at Oregon and was the 15th round pick of the Marlins in the 2024 draft.  Younger brother Rilen is a completely different type of athlete as a smooth and quick strong-armed shortstop but might end up being just as good of player in the long run.

Best Defensive Outfielder: Slater de Brun (Sr., Summit HS, Ore.)

There are few players in the country who bring de Brun’s defensive tools to the table at any position.  He has outstanding first step quickness to get jumps and 6.39 speed to close on balls.  He also has a 94 mph outfield arm.

Best Defensive Arm: Mason Pike (Sr., Puyallup HS, Wash.)

Pike threw 97 in the infield at the PG National Showcase and his arm strength is as obvious in games as it is in drills.  Xavier Neyens could be the top defensive arm in some other regions around the country.


Best Fastball: Kruz Schoolcraft (Sr., Sunset HS, Ore.)

Schoolcraft’s 94-97 mph fastball plays up with his 6-8 height and low and very extended release point.  It’s not out of the question that he could even add some velocity as he’s still 17-years old and is a high-level overall athlete.

Best Off-Speed Stuff: River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton throws both his curveball and slider with 2,500 rpm spin and adds and subtracts on them with maturity and feel.  He also has a low 80’s change up that should develop into a quality fourth pitch as he uses it more.

Best Pitchability: River Hamilton (Sr., Sam Barlow HS, Ore.)

Hamilton threw in three PG tournaments in 2024 and was named the Most Valuable Pitcher in all three, striking out 45 hitters in 24 innings while only allowing 8 walks.  He’s a strike thrower with all his pitches and can use his breaking stuff at any point in counts.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways
Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

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...

WWBA Freshman Prospect Recap

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
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...

Article Image
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.

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...

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.

Windy City Finale Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘27 RHP Jaxson Weiss (IL) pitched well in his 5 innings and put up some eye popping strikeout numbers. He punched out 10 and allowed only 2ER. FB T86 early and flashed a BB 72-75. #WCFinale https://t.co/M8GtCUgxyS — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) October 17, 2026 Jaxson Weiss (2027, New Lennox, Ill.) a right-handed pitcher put up big strikeout numbers in his start on Saturday. He worked five innings while punching out ten opposing hitters. The fastball topped out at 86 mph and sat in the 82-85 mph range most of the game. His breaking ball was his primary off-speed, living 72-75 mph. Weiss keeps his body under control throughout his delivery, helping him with his good command on the mound. He uses his lower half well with a nice leg drive and gets his hips through, guiding his backside. He pitched with confidence and stayed ahead of hitters most of the game. Hayden...
