17u Tourney All-American Team

Vincent Cervino
Tyler Henninger
Tyler Kotila
There’s a lot of talent throughout this 2026 class, filled with the big-name stars, to talent that spreads across the nation. It’s been a lot of fun seeing these prospects grow and develop over the years, from the days of watching some of these guys at the 13/14u days at events on the circuit, to now where they are all graduating seniors in 2026. There’s been new faces who have popped along the way over the years, even in 2026, where some players who were relatively undiscovered, have come out and made a name for themselves with a statement performance. Between the familiar and the new, there’s a lot of names on this list that are going to be quite regularly talked about on the circuit, and for good reason. 

Whether it’s PG All-Americans or not, there’s a lot of names with superstar potential at the next level. We’ve got 14 PG All-Americans on the offensive side for the First-Team group, with players like Collin Bland who’s always liable for a big-time swing to leave the yard or AJ Curry who has some of best clutch-hitting traits in the class. To middle-infielders like Grady Emerson and Jacob Lombard who are poised to be Top 5 picks in the draft next summer, with Emerson in the conversation to go 1:1 in the eyes of some. These First-Teamers run deep with performance, seeing a bunch of them who produced on the circuit at every stop of the way, getting it done. Guys like Trevor Condon and Coleman Borthwick who have shown up and shown out on the circuit time-and-time again. If the past is any indicator, expect these numbers to continue as all of these players take the step to their respective next levels.



It’s hard to overlook these names, especially Cole Prosek, who takes home Player of the Year honors, with a .598 AVG, 1.523 OPS, 6 bombs, and 13 XBHs altogether, with 31 runs driven in. This all comes while walking 16 times, with just 8 punchouts on the circuit. He was named to the All-Tournament Team 5 times in all 5 of his big events he played in this year and was a Top Prospect at the PG National Showcase. Prosek really shined this year, earning his PG All-American honors along the way. The Ole Miss commit was a constant hitter in the eyes of evaluators and he’s ranked 31st in the class, and is the number 3 overall player in Mississippi. He’s got the traits to only continue trending upward at the next level.

On the mound, it’s another star-studded group, with big names at the top like Logan Schmidt who takes home Pitcher of the Year honors. He’s a storied name on the circuit, being a 12u, 13u, 14u PG Select Festival alum, and a 2025 PG All-American after re-classing up from the 2027 Class. Schmidt posted a 0.00 ERA over 16.0 IP with a gaudy 0.88 WHIP. He held the opposition to a .214 average and issued just 3 free passes with 29 punchouts on the circuit. The LSU commit was flat-out dominant, with his 3 All-Tournament Team Selections and impressive stats to pair. With his impressive performance this season, Schmidt has shown that he’s going to continue to impress as he moves to the next level after 2026. Schmidt is 14th ranked player in the class and is 2nd overall in California amongst the 2026 class.

Besides Schmidt, there’s a litany of performers across the First-Team and Second-Team lists. There’s six PG All-Americans on the First-Team list with a ton of talent across the board. Guys like Joseph Contreras who wow’d  the scouts with his performances at East Cobb on the circuit this year or Pablo Figueroa who made a name for himself with a 0.00 ERA over 13.1 IP, allowing just 1 hit. There was some other guys who made a name for themselves on the circuit, like Tyson Grulkowski who pitches his way from and Indoor Showcase to PG National and found himself on the fall circuit making waves with some really good performances at the Heartland Champions Cup and WWBA Jupiter. These arms are all players who have the traits to keep making noise at the next level.

Looking at both hitters and pitchers, it is hard to argue with what RJ Cope did this year on both sides of the ball. The massively physical 6-foot-8 lefty got it done on the mound and at the plate. He’s been a big-time arm on the circuit for years and put together some loud performances along the way, including a great outing in Jupiter. He also was one of the top hitters in this year’s group, getting it done at the plate as well. The Vanderbilt commit hit .394 with a 1.184 OPS and slugged 12 homers, plating 62 RBI to his credit as well. He tallied 73 punchouts over 60.1 innings on the mound as well. Cope was named to 8 All-Tournament Teams as well in 2025. 

All-in-all, it is not going to shock many that the 2026 class has been fun to watch with insane performances across the board. They have talent that is going to continue to shine for years to come, some of these names are players we will follow through the ranks of collegiate and professional baseball in years to come, and it all starts with some of these big-time performers listed below.

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

2025 Year in Review: College

Craig Cozart
Article Image
The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory. PG Second-Team All-American, Jared Jones was the heart of the lineup with his 20...

2025 Year In Review: High School

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back. Two Top-10 Picks in the MLB Draft Headline National Players of the Year It was another loaded crop that took home the National Players of the Year as both Ethan Holliday, the National Player of the Year, and Seth Hernandez, National Pitcher of the Year, heard their names called within the first-10 picks in the MLB Draft.

Top 2027 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Isaiah Burrows
Article Image
With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses. We have already dropped our 2028 Top 75 collegiate prospects board, but this one is our Top 100 college prospects who will be eligible for the 2027 class. These are the Top 100 players in our eyes for this group, and many of them have already shown up on campus and been impactful in many ways. Whether its our top-ranked player in Oregon State’s Dax Whitney or ninth-ranked William Schmidt...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino

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 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...
