PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars | Jupiter: Uncommitted...For Now



There's truly nothing better than a prospect staying fresh, making the trip to Jupiter and fully taking advantage of the opportunity to perform in front of all 30 MLB teams over the course the tournament. Some of the players below were already on the radar but took their status to the next level, while others made scout and recruiters do a double take and add themselves to follow lists. 

Benjamin Faigin (2027, Monroe, N.J.) showed off some serious stuff on the mound in Jupiter, pitching with a ton of energy and confidence. The 6-foot southpaw ran his fastball up to 95 mph, sitting comfortably in the low-90s with good carry through the strike zone. He went to a more vertical curveball when ahead in counts, sequencing the breaking pitch in effectively. The Rutgers commit has made a big velocity jump this year with impressive secondary offerings to pair.
 

Caleb Dupuis (2027, Georgetown, Ont.) opened up pool play action down in Jupiter with a dominant outing for Canadian Premier, tossing four shutout innings with seven punchouts and just one baserunner allowed. The 6-foot right-hander worked his fastball in all four quadrants of the strike zone, topping it out at 91 mph with heavy arm-side run and sink. He mixed in a tight breaking ball with tilt and late actions to it, successfully mistiming opposing hitters. Dupuis has made an impressive stride this year, and is quickly becoming one of the top arms in Canada.

Mark Susa (2027, Hudson, Wisc.) put together a quality outing in Jupiter last week, striking out three batters across 2.1 innings of work. The 6-foot-4 200-pound left-hander ran his fastball up to 90 mph, pairing it with a two-seamer that lived in the 85-86 mph range with heavy sink and arm-side run. He also showed great feel for spinning and locating his slurvy breaking ball, which read spin up to 2600 rpm. Susa utilizes his length to his advantage, creating over seven feet of extension as he works down the slope. He offers a lot of intrigue with more velocity to project for moving forward.

William Nolet (2027, Saint-Gilles, Que.) made his presence felt down in Jupiter, hitting .556 with a triple, home run and six runs driven in over a four-game span. The 6-foot-3 right-handed batter swings one of the more consistent barrels up north with budding power to all parts of the field that has shown up often this year. Nolet is starting to become more of a power threat as well, while also showcasing a refined skillset on the defensive side of the ball.

-Anthony Gambardella

Wyatt Parker (2028, Mechanicsville, Va.). Parker made a pretty convincing case as one of the bigger offensive revelations of Jupiter, putting together a ridiculous 10-for-14 showing while punching out just once. The consistency of the contact was especially impressive, and there's plenty to dream on long term given his lean, 6-foot-3, 180-pound build that has considerable physical development ahead. It's an uncomplicated operation, starting from a taller setup with the hands already positioned near launch before a subtle lower-half move gets everything underway. There's minimal wasted movement throughout, allowing him to deliver the barrel on a fairly flat, efficient path that creates a sizable window for contact. While the offensive output wasn't super loud EV wise, the actual quality of contact in my looks was line-drive oriented with a knack for using the entire field and simply finding barrels. The foundation here of the swing and present bat-to-ball ability gives him an intriguing offensive floor, with a chance for considerably more damage as the frame fills out. It's the type of Jupiter performance that should bring plenty of additional attention to the William & Mary commit moving forward.

Gavin McGee (2028, Indianapolis, Ind.). McGee was one of my favorite arms to come away from Jupiter with some added conviction on, as the Kentucky commit showed a lot of the ingredients you want to see in a long-term starting pitching prospect. He turned in two scoreless relief innings with three punchouts, but it was the overall ease of the operation and quality of the arsenal that made this such an encouraging look. There's plenty of athleticism within his 6-foot, 180-pound frame, and it translates into a well-sequenced delivery featuring a controlled inward turn, good direction down the slope and a loose, uninterrupted arm stroke that gets into strong loaded positions before accelerating through release. It's an effortless mover with the type of arm speed that suggests there's still some velocity left to unlock, even without overwhelming physical projection. The heater reached 92 with a riding four-seam variation that showed the ability to miss bats above the zone, while he's also flashed a sinking version with considerable bottom that gives him a different avenue to attack hitters. The breaking ball was another separator, showing sharp, late depth in the upper 70s to low 80s with spin around 2600 RPMs and the ability to land it for strikes. Wouldn't be surprised if we were looking at a T25 RHP in the country this time next year. Kentucky commit.

Jake Carruthers (2027, Hollywood, Fla.). Carruthers brought some legitimate offensive firepower to Jupiter and delivered one of the more memorable swings of my looks, absolutely unloading on a ball to the pull side for a no-doubt home run. The Tulane commit has quietly built an impressive offensive résumé, slashing .373/.463/.687 across 22 games with more walks than strikeouts at PG events in '26, and the combination of impact and offensive discipline makes for an intriguing overall package. There's a lot to like about how the swing functions, with a controlled leg lift that allows him to gather into the backside before unleashing a particularly loose, explosive barrel turn. He gets the bat working into the hitting zone early and creates natural loft through contact, with an uphill path that lends itself to driving the baseball in the air with authority. The ability to get the barrel out front and elevate to the pull side was on full display with the home run, but there's more to the offensive profile than just raw power. He opened Jupiter with hits in each of his first three games and added a triple in his finl game, continuing to demonstrate the consistency that has been a staple of his circuit production. Also of note is his high-level athleticism and defensive versatility to play on the dirt and OF. Tulane commit.
 
-Joey Cohen


Isaac Boudreaux, RHP, Lafayette, La. Knights Knation/Dodgers Scout (2027)
Boudreaux made his mark at the WWBA by showing that his size and projection are already backed by stuff that can miss bats. Boudreaux delivered a strong performance, striking out two over 40 pitches. The right-hander worked primarily off an 89–92 mph fastball that touched 93 and showed noticeable ride up in the zone. His 12/6 curveball had sharp downward action and consistently missed bats. At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, he has a projectable frame with room to add strength and velocity. His clean arm action and already-effective pitch mix point to a power-arm profile with present swing-and-miss ability.

Nick Santobello, RHP, Yonker. N.Y. Team Elite/AZ Diamondbacks Scout (2027)
Santobello turned his opportunity into a breakout showing, pairing improved velocity with a put-away slider and an efficient, scoreless inning. Santobello was sharp in relief, striking out two in a clean inning. He showed a repeatable delivery and quick, clean arm action, with a fastball that touched 94 mph and played up when elevated. His 81 mph slider showed sharp, late break and generated empty swings. With his fastball continuing to trend upward and a slider capable of missing bats, Santobello profiles as a strike-throwing reliever with the stuff and frame for a high-leverage college role. 

Russell Hengels, RHP, Park Ridge, Ill. Cangelosi Sparks (2027)
Hengels delivered one of the standout relief performances of the tournament, combining six strikeouts, present velocity and the poise to work through three innings. Hengels turned in an efficient three-inning relief outing, striking out six on 76 pitches. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-hander has a long, projectable frame and an up-tempo delivery with clean arm action. His fastball reached 92 mph and generated swings and misses when located in the upper half, while a 77 mph slider showed enough bite to work as an effective secondary pitch. 

-Steve Doherty


Jesse Decter (’27, Titusville, Fla.)- the 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed pitcher took full advantage of his opportunity on the bump at the 2026 PG WWBA World Championship. The Merritt Island High School prep headed to Jupiter as an uncommitted senior and gave a pair of breakout performances for East Coast Ghost National. Decter started two games and struck out four over 2 and 1/3 innings of work while running the fastball up to 89 mph. A mainstay in the Merritt Island rotation and a consistent performer in PG events over the summer, he has seen a rise in velocity while maintaining his present feel for the zone. A nice jump and breakout performance from Decter who committed to Tallahassee State shortly thereafter. 

Eli Shoppell (’27, Fort Wayne, Ind.)- the 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-handed pitcher was dominant in his start for the Chicago White Sox Scout Team. The LSU-Eunice commit did not allow a hit over his 4 and 2/3 innings of work and finished with five strikeouts. Shoppell was just hitting his stride when he was pulled at 54 pitches having punched out the last three batters he faced. He ran the fastball up to 92 mph and sat in the 88-90 mph range which was 4 mph harder than his previous high at PG Events during the summer. He coupled the increased velocity with a sharp breaking ball in the high-70s and a changeup to pound the zone at a 66% strike rate. The Homestead Senior High School prep looks like he is just breaking the ice after his impressive performance. 
  
-Jason Phillips

Jake Kim (2027, Studio City, Calif.) It’s hard to label the UCLA commit a “breakout”, especially for those that know him on the west coast, but he made the list because I think he may have shown the rest of the country just how good he is during his time in Jupiter.  He finished with a .556 average, .643 OBP and 2.198 OPS over six games.  The left-handed hitter showed off the power, going deep three times and drove in eight while scoring six.

Cooper Thomas (Georgetown, Texas) played in four games and had multi-hit games in three of them, finishing with a .545 average (6-11) with three triples, four stolen bases and six runs scored.  He is a top of the order bat showcasing excellent bat-to-ball skill with an all-fields approach.  He is committed to Rice. 


Cal Schneider (2027, New Berlin, Wisc.) was electric in his rain shortened start, working four-innings, allowing only three scattered hits, one run and struck out eight.  The left-hander had the full mix on display, locating and sequencing well throughout.  The fastball was up to 88 and kept hitters off balance with a sweepy breaking ball in the mid-70’s.  He has a wiry frame at 6-foot, 150-pounds with unlimited room to add.
 
-Scott Rankin

Cameron Penney (2027, Apopka, Fla.) was simply put, all over the barrel throughout the week and certainly made a name for himself. Penney finished the week going 6-11 that included a pair of doubles, a homer, eight runs batted in, and scored six runs. He did all this while striking out zero times. Penney has an athletic 6-foot-0 and moves well on both sides of the ball. He showed real hitter traits in the box and always seemed to be on time and on the barrel with a sound line to line approach. Strong pull-side power is quite evident in this profile and Penney certainly showed that he can compete with the best of anyone. The bat is going to play at a high level and that was shown all week long. The Central Florida commit most definitely made a name for himself down in Jupiter and it’s easy to see with that type of swing.

Alexander Kakach (2027, Plymouth, Minn.) was one of the more exciting arms on the week out of Minnesota and definitely had a lot of eyes on him. In his quick burst of an outing, he did nothing but show off plus stuff and will have a ton of eyes on him moving forward after his Jupiter outing. Kakach stands in at 6-foot-1 and works downhill with his delivery that has really good tempo too it. He seems to be on time consistently and repeats through the motions well. The stuff is what will carry him a long ways as he hovers in the 90-94 range with his fastball getting big time spin traits anywhere between 2500-2700 RPM. His fastball explodes out of his hand and is hard to catch up to. On top of that, Kakach showed 3 quality off-speed offerings. It’s a slider getting upwards of 3000 RPM, a curve with sharp power depth, and a change with heavy fading tumble. All three pitches project well and could end up being legit out pitches at the next level and beyond. Kakach made a name for himself down in Jupiter and will be heavily scouted come Spring. Looks like the Minnesota product is looking very real off the bump.

Jacob Hamm (2027, Jenks, Okla.) showed a ton to like off the bump for his squad in what was a short 1.2 inning stint. The final line wasn’t anything special but when looking at it as a whole, Hamm showed a ton of projection with serious stuff. Hamm worked 85-90 with his fastball getting around 22-24 inches of horizontal on it. He showed two different fastballs throughout his stint and both should play at a high level. Beyond that, Hamm showed a disgusting splitter that crushes spin with a ton of drop. He also showed a change with more fade to it getting upwards of 20 inches of horizontal. Overall, Hamm showed a ton to like with his stuff and should have some eyes on him come this Spring as this was a big outing for him.

-Geoff Billock

2027 LHP Drew Stettbacher (North Fond Du Lac, Wisc.) the Cincinnati commit currently stands at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds on an athletic frame that will continue to add physicality. Quick arm and releases from a lower ¾ slot that creates timing and deception issues for the batter. Featured a fastball up to 90 mph with run, mostly sitting 86-89 but it was his off-speed stuff that stood out during his outing as he collected six strikeouts in three innings of work against a tough lineup. The changeup was used as a weapon with two strikes, as he induced multiple uncomfortable swings as the pitch showed fade, dropped off the table in mid-70s. The slider is sharp with depth in the upper-70s as well. Trending upward with a big spring season on the way.

2027 RHP Andrew Maroney (Naples, Fla.) the UCF commit currently stands at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds on a long, tall frame with projection. Displayed a noticeable jump in his fastball as he was up to 93 mph (2200+ RPM) as the ball jumped out of his hand, registering six strikeouts over five innings of work. Mostly sat 89-92 and seemed to get stronger as the game went on, pounding the strike zone with his full arsenal. Also mixed in a low 80s slider and a low 80s changeup that complimented the fastball. Don’t be surprised if Maroney not only makes a notable jump in the overall rankings, but is followed closely from a draft perspective this upcoming spring season.

2027 IF Jaxson Vassallo (Bradenton, Fla.) the Kennesaw State commit currently stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds on an athletic frame with strength in the lower half. Vassallo was a name pretty widely known throughout Jupiter for the week as he came through with big, run scoring hits in multiple games throughout the event which included three home runs in six games. His ability to drive the ball with intent anywhere on the field while flashing present juice allowed him to play a big part in a deep playoff run for the Florida Burn. There’s still more power to unlock too as he continues to add onto his frame. Present athleticism, above average runner. Vassallo has presented himself as a well-rounded prospect that will be another draft follow this spring. 
 
-Mike Maerz


Connor Chanley (2027, Orcutt, Calif.) a second consecutive stand out tournament performance this fall. Hit over .500 (7-for-13) in Jupiter this year with 3 doubles and 5 total RBI. Plays the middle infield at a high level, a real chance to stick at shortstop at the next level. This is a really good player that is producing in high level tournaments right now. Not a ton of 6-foot-3 shortstops out there that really hit. Stood out as a high end talent this fall and should carry it over into the spring. Committed to Cal State Fullerton.

Collin Romanczuk (2027, West Chester, Pa.) this is the type of arm that could really pop this next spring. A 6-foot-7 right-hander with mobility and controlled athletic delivery patterns. Fastball in the low 90’s, a sharp horizontal slider and a splitter with vertical depth. Struck out 6 over scoreless innings in Jupiter. High level athletic blood lines, Jupiter outing may have just been the beginning of what is to come. Committed to Northwestern. 

-Blaine Peterson

Joshua Jakubowicz, LHP, 2027, Original Florida Pokers National 

Jakubowicz (27, Fla.) was impressive in his start at Roger Dean Stadium, battling some command in the first inning and then he locked in as he dominated over his 3.0 IP.  The long, lean 6-3/190 southpaw has a smooth, low-effort delivery and blended his 2-pitch mix to keep hitters guessing.  With a methodical delivery, an inline arm path and relative ease to his operation you would imagine that a velocity jump into the low-90s is right around the corner.  He pitched heavily off his fastball that peaked at 88 mph, showing some life at the plate as he moved it to all quadrants of the zone.  He also added and subtracted with his breaking ball and showed the ability to give it more vertical depth to righthanded hitters and would run lefties out of barrel regularly.  Jakubowicz is committed to Samford and finished his outing with 3.0 IP, allowing just two hits, no runs, he walked one and he struck out an impressive 6 batters.  


Henry Ladenberger, CIF, 2027, Spects National 2027 Marsolek 

While Ladenberger (27, Mo.) started off the week on the quiet side, he finished in loud fashion putting his powerful stroke at the plate on display.  In my look at Roger Dean Stadium, he launched two homeruns and helped his team secure the victory in the early morning slot.  The 6-0/185 righty possesses quick hands, a compact path and the kind of physical strength that allows him to create natural loft that served him well on this day.  Both home runs he launched were no-doubters, getting off the bat quickly and leaving the yard without so much as a courtesy look from the outfielders. His pitch recognition is advanced; he identifies spin well and there is projection on both the hit and power side of his offensive skillset.  Ladenberger is a Valpo commit and finished the tournament with a .455 OBP and logged an OPS of 1.455 all told.   
  
-Craig Cozart


Jackson Page (2027, RHP, Brandon, Miss.)

The Southern Miss commit certainly checks a lot of boxes and continued to do so during his outing in Jupiter. A strong, but still projectable 6-foot-4 righty, Page worked comfortably in the 89-92 mph over his 5.2 inning stint, a span in which he punched out 8 and did so on the strength of his slider. It's already a swing-and-miss offering into the low-80s, pairing well off of his heater, leaving a solid last impression on the minds of scouts heading into the offseason. 

-Troy Sutherland

Rocco Bucci (‘27, OF, Lewis Center, Ohio) put together an impressive offensive showing in Jupiter, finishing 7-for-12 (.583) with a home run, double, four RBI and four walks. The Virginia Tech commit features an explosive left-handed swing with good rhythm and bat speed, working with a line-drive approach while showing the ability to drive the baseball with authority. His athleticism and feel for the barrel round out his offensive game, with his performance offering a glimpse of what he can bring to the Hokies next year.


Edgar D Rodriguez (‘27, SS, Warwick, R.I.) showcased an impressive combination of the hit and power tool in Jupiter, finishing 5-for-9 (.556) with two doubles, a home run and a 1.778 OPS. The Stony Brook commit brings an athletic, twitchy profile to the plate, featuring quick hands and plenty of bat speed. Rodriguez has a compact swing and strong feel for the barrel, driving the baseball to all fields with impact. His three extra-base hits at the WWBA World Championship offered another glimpse of the offensive threat the Seawolves will be adding to their lineup.

Samuel Ellis (‘27, OF/MIF, La Pêche, Quebec, Canada) made his presence felt in Jupiter, finishing 5-for-14 (.357) with two triples, a home run and four RBI across five games. The recent Clemson commit has a lean, athletic 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame and displayed a disciplined approach at the plate, drawing two walks while striking out just once. Ellis features a simple, rhythmic swing with a good feel for the barrel, as evidenced by his production throughout the event. That offensive skill set is complemented by his speed on the basepaths, where he showed good instincts and aggressiveness, adding another dimension to his game.

- Donovan May


In just his first PG event, Santa Clara commit Mitch Circuit (2027 San Diego, CA) put himself in the national spotlight, posting a .455 AVG for TB SoCal with a pair of bombs over the course of seven games. There’s no better time to make an impact than Jupiter, as the 6-foot, 170 pound prospect came through time and time again consistently finding ways on base, adding seven walks on the stat sheet as well. He showcased loud offensive tools with projectable power, already impacting the baseball with plenty of authority yet still has strength and physicality on the way in the frame. He was one of the many hidden gems on display, and will certainly garner tons of attention heading into the Spring.

Cooper Jones (2027 Rumson, NJ) was absolutely lights out on the bump in a round of 16 matchup for Ghost National, putting plenty of people on notice that he’s one of the premier LHP in the Northeast region. The 6-foot-2, 200 pound lefty punched out eight over 5.1 innings of work and ran the FB up to 92 mph, flashing both a SL & CH on command to keep hitters off balance. The operation is athletic and simple, utilizing a medium arm path into low ¾ release with natural movement generated. He’s cool and collected on the mound and seems to welcome high pressure situations, which is what Jupiter is all about.
 
-AJ Denny

Coleton Newbern (2027, Greenville, N.C.) showed off a ton of upside as a two-way prospect in Jupiter. The Coastal Carolina commit batted in the middle of a talented Canes National 18U/New York Mets Scout Team lineup. The primary catcher is a physical 6-foot-3, 20–pounds with length and power projection. The swing is very short, delivering heavy hands with good strength coming off. Newbern also appeared out of the bullpen multiple times, showing a live arm. The fastball lived in the 91-94 range and the arm is fast with whip. The North Carolina native has a bright future with true two-way upside.


Pratt Morley (2027, Spanish Fork, Utah) could not have been more dominant in his Jupiter start for the Ohio Warhawks. The BYU commit threw three scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out five. The righty lived in the 91-94 range with heavy sink and absolutely filled the zone with 83% strikes, not allowing a single free pass and needing just 31 pitches. The sink plays to both sides of the plate and he commanded it well. The slider pairs well at 81-83 with sharp break, missing bats while consistently landing it glove side. Morley also flashed a splitter in the mid-80s to round out the mix.


Nate Kesselmark (2027, Weston, Conn.) made a big statement in Jupiter while pitching for Canes National 18U/New York Mets Scout Team. The right-hander made two appearances, getting the start for the day one exhibition. He showed a strong three-pitch mix, living 91-94 with a sharp sweeping slider at 79-80. He would strike out two in a three up, three down inning against a talented lineup. The Notre Dame commit appeared once again a few days later and dominated. Kesselmark threw four â…“ perfect innings, striking out seven total while pounding the zone and dominating with the heater. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound righty has a fast arm and is not afraid to challenge, capable of beating you with the fastball.

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...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

Jupiter Recap: Stars Being Stars
