Cole Ryherd, SS, Class of 2027
Commitment: Southern Illinois-Edwardsville
Nice midwest addition to the SIUE class with Ryherd, picking up a gamer that should stick up the middle on the dirt at the next level of the game. He’s more quick than fast with a linedrive stroke that can work contact to all fields, showing an ability to cover the zone and adjust the barrel head all over the zone. He may kick over to second down the line, but that is still to be determined. He would earn All Tournament Team honors down in Fort Myers during the Underclass World Championship with Spects National, hitting 9-21 (.429) with thirteen RBI, thirteen walks and four stolen bases. Solid player.
Gary Staffins, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Young Harris
Staffins came to the ‘24 Southeast Uncommitted showcase over a year and a half ago at this point and impressed with his raw arm strength for his size and pitchability. Fast forward to now, and Staffins has officially committed to Young Harris. He’s thrown a good share of innings in back to back years now, showing an ability to pound the zone and put bats away (50 SO/23.1 IP). The velocity has crept upwards and his fastball now sits in the mid 80’s with a good low 70’s downer hook that plays well off the heater. Look for him to grow, fill out his frame and compete for innings with Young Harris.
Dawson Radaszewski, SS, Class of 2026
Commitment: Westmont College
Proportionally built left-handed hitting shortstop recently inked his commitment to Westmont College. Another peach state product, Radaszewski will be joining a really solid Division II program out west in Santa Barbara, California. He’s hit for average the last three years on the travel circuit with a reliable glove up the middle on the dirt. He will be a key cog his senior year with Holy Innocents, who will look to push even further into the playoffs in ‘26.
Trey Windham, OF, Class of 2026
Commitment: Young Harris
Windham is another Georgia prep that committed to Young Harris recently, building up a quality class of players headed to north Georgia next summer. He would attend the Georgia Jackets org showcase in late May and would impress, leaving the event with a PG 9 after having a monster ‘24 year on volume. He’s athletic with physical projection with a chance for some more impact in the stick once he fills out the lean frame. There is natural lift in his swing. Defensively, he projects best to the corners in the outfield grass.
Ryland Perry, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Calhoun CC
Perry was good all year long, culminating in a commitment to Calhoun. He’s got good size at 6’4/205 with a smooth, repeatable motion down the slope and a simple arm stroke that gets up on time. He routinely works in the mid to upper 80’s, with his spin arsenal consistently ticking up. Easy to bet on the size, strikes and progression he continues to make.
Caleb Griffin, CIF, Class of 2026
Commitment: Calhoun CC
Following in the footsteps of his high school teammate Perry, Griffin also committed to Calhoun recently. He has really come on with the stick as of late, showing legitimate impact and the ability to slug right now. He is a good defender at third with solid arm strength across, and should have every chance to stick at the hot corner after high school. The bat has become easy to buy into, as he walked more than he K’d at Perfect Game events this year. For the cherry on top, Griffin would end the fall on a roll. He would earn All Tournament Team honors in the Southeast Cup and down in Jupiter to wrap his ‘25 up.
Drew Harmon, RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Northwest Florida
Harmon finds a really nice landing spot after high school, committing to NWF back in mid November. He routinely sits in the upper 80’s and will touch low 90’s with the fastball, mixing in both a mid 70’s curve with some bite and a low 80’s change. Physical 6’2/205 frame with size throughout the build. Harmon will be competing for innings right away now.
Ben Dupuch, C/RHP, Class of 2026
Commitment: Daytona State College
A nice showing over the summer at National Uncommitted earned Dupuch a 9 grade, parlaying that into a solid summer and eventual commitment to Daytona State. He’s got some two way intrigue right now, as he has reached 90-mph on the mound and makes for a solid receiver and catch/throw asset behind the dish as well. If Dupuch can continue to make strides with the stick, then you’re getting a reliable backstop who can handle himself in the box while providing the club with good everyday caliber defense in the catcher position. He has the frame to add on more muscle as well.
Omari Burse, SS, Class of 2027
Commitment: UAB
UAB did a fantastic job in securing Burse, who provided tons of upside as an athletic, projectable infielder with more to come across the board in regards to all of his tools. It will be interesting to see how the leverage and in-game power output develops with his current low hand set/level swing plane mechanics, but the bat speed and rotational acceleration are impressive for his age and more will come as he matures. He’s got a good arm and the feet are smooth on the dirt. Burse has done nothing but hit for average at Perfect Game events and ‘25 was no different, hitting .439 over a solid sample. Really good prospect from south Georgia to keep tabs on over the next year as he continues to develop. Tools here.
Jackson Bernosky, C, Class of 2027
Commitment: Gonzaga
Bernosky has impressed at 5x showcases now, with a nice performance at Junior National helping spring his summer into another gear and into an eventual commitment with Gonzaga. He’s long shown feel behind the plate with good hands that can steal strikes and handle velocity, while showing solid average arm strength that keeps improving with a clean and quick exchange. The bat is next in line, and it continues to improve at a steady clip. He’s getting stronger seemingly at every new event we get to see him. There is more physical projection here, and he possesses good athleticism for a catcher.
