PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers



With the 2026 WWBA World Championship in the rearview mirror, we're going to begin our breakdowns of 4 different subcategories, beginning today with the Stars Being Stars category. Most of the players below are household names or were teetering on the edge of such recognition, using Jupiter as their launching pad. From Perfect Game All-Americans to some serious helium names for the MLB Draft, the PG crew breaks them all down below. 


Samir Mohammed (2027, Trinity, Fla.) put forth an unforgettable performance down in Jupiter last week, reaching triple digits for the first time at a PG event in the midst of a dominant outing. The 6-foot-5 240-pound right-hander collected 11 strikeouts through five innings of work, filling up the zone at a very impressive seventy-five percent clip. His heater lived in the 98-99 mph range for the duration of his outing, topping out at 100 mph with 99 showing up well over ten times. Mohammed threw his curveball for strikes at will while also turning over a changeup effectively versus left-handed hitters. The LSU commit currently sits at no. 57 on the PG Draft Board, and certainly lived up to his star status in Jupiter.

Deuce Jenkins (2027, Brandon, Miss.) hit .357 against some very talented arms with all five of his hits resulting in extra bases. He tallied two home runs, a pair of doubles and a triple—along with four runs scored and eight driven in. He reached base nearly half of the time, earning his way on in several different fashions. The 6-foot-1 210-pound lefty hitter finds the barrel at a very high rate, creating frequent low line drive results towards the gaps. He impacts the ball with lots of easy strength and has showcased the ability to carry it all over the diamond. Jenkins offers a ton of intrigue as a bat with plus speed that really completes his offensive profile.

-Anthony Gambardella 

Alec Cabrera (2028, Wellington, FL) was featured in both our Day 2 and 4 Scout Notes as he put together just an outstanding week in Jupiter, going 9-for-15 with four extra-base hits. Even though he’s already ranked No. 38 nationally, Cabrera did plenty to elevate his standing as he made it clear he’s one of the premier pure hitters in the country regardless of class. He finished his PG ‘26 circuit slashing .574/.625/.981 with a .407 ISO and just a 14% whiff rate across 22 games, showcasing an elite blend of contact ability and impact. The hit/power combination is elite, and Cabrera looks the part of a high-end offensive prospect as he heads toward the next 2028 rankings update where he’ll rise. Currently uncommitted.

Liam Skeen (2028, Big Stone Gap, VA) was featured in our Day 4 Notebook after a dominant five-inning no-hit performance against Franklin Scout which really was just a culmination to what he did all throughout the circuit as he put together an impressive run with strong outings at UBC, Junior National, WWBA National and now Jupiter. Already ranked the No. 28 RHP nationally, Skeen reinforced his standing leaning on his usual deceptive delivery and unique look to keep hitters uncomfortable. The upper-80s fastball continues to play above its velocity with whiff-inducing shape, while both the changeup and slider showed quality movement and effectiveness. Skeen has been remarkably consistent posting a 0.49 ERA and holding hitters to an absurd .044 average against this circuit. More of the same from Skeen, who continues to prove why he's one of the more effective arms in the class.

Max Hemenway (2027, Puyallup, WA) put together another solid showing in front of our staff, going 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits that included a laser to the pull side for a triple and a drive over the center fielder’s head for a double. The production only adds to an extensive track record of high-level bat-to-ball skills within a pro-level stroke and present quality impact that continues to trend upward. Beyond the bat, Hemenway offers one of the better defensive profiles on the dirt among middle infielders in the country, giving him a well-rounded skill set that should translate at the next level. He did nothing to hurt his standing as one of the premier MIF prospects in the country and continues to look like a strong bet for Day 1 consideration next summer.
-Joey Cohen

Will Richardson, LHP, Trussville, AL. Team Elite/AZ Diamondbacks Scout (2027)

Richardson stands on a projectable 6-foot-5, 205-pound frame. The fastball sat 91–93 mph and touched 94 and holding its velocity deep into the outing. His secondaries added another dimension, with a sharp breaking ball and a changeup that showed useful sink and drew swings and misses. There are some similarities to a young Kyle Harrison, particularly with the low-slot delivery, athleticism and projectable left-handed profile; Though Richardson is developing his own path. He’s a star because he already pairs quality stuff and strike-throwing with the upside of a high-ceiling left-hander, and there’s reason to believe his best velocity is still ahead of him.

Cole Kuhn, RHP, Elkins Park, PA. Ascent Athlete National (2027)

The star appeal is immediate, 100 mph arm strength is an unmistakable separator, and with projection remaining, Kuhn has the ingredients to grow into a special arm. Kuhn showed outstanding arm strength, reaching 99 mph, and offers the kind of physical projection that gives him significant upside. His command and secondary pitches are still developing, but the raw velocity gives him an exciting foundation as he continues to refine his overall arsenal.

Johnny Bowes, RHP, San Diego, CA. Canes West National (2027)

Bowes stands out as a star because he combines a power starter’s frame with a fastball-slider pairing that misses bats. He showed he can deliver it while attacking the strike zone. Bowes has the frame of a prototypical starter, He creates downhill angle and extension with a loose, easy arm action, delivering a 92–93 mph fastball that touched 94 in Jupiter. The slider was a standout, flashing sharp tilt and depth to generate swings and misses. The California native and USC commit pairs present stuff with physical projection and pitchability.

-Steve Doherty


Jacob Carrasco (’27, Lancaster, Pa.)- the 6-foot-3, 210-pound right-handed hitter lived up to the billing as a power hitting backstop to see on the Chicago White Sox Scout Team. The University of Oregon commit did not disappoint with a no-doubt homerun through a stiff wind on day one of pool play. The two-run blast to leftfield came off a Stetson commit who was running the fastball into the low-90s and put the game of out of reach in an 8-to-5 victory. Carrasco followed up the blast with a pair of pull side doubles to drive in four runs in another victory for the Sox. He finished up the 2026 PG WWBA World Championship with a 1.049 on base plus slugging percentage and showed why he is the No. 1 ranked catcher in the Pennsylvania state class. 


Hayes Maginnis (’27, Newnan, Ga.)- the 5-foot-11, 190-pound two-way talent was a huge part of the East Cobb/SD Padres ST championship run. The Arkansas commit accounted for 11 runs with five runs batted in and six runs scored while posting a .607 on-base percentage over 10 games. He was often pitched around as evident by his 10 walks but stayed patient and did not expand the zone. He homered and doubled twice with both blasts registering over 100 mph exit velocities and over 400 feet of distance. The primary shortstop played solid defense up the middle as the Padres ST finished the WWBA World Championship with a perfect 10-and-0 record. Maginnis also jumped on the bump and provided two scoreless innings of relief in a come-from-behind victory to get the win in a crucial pool play matchup. A huge tournament from Maginnis on all sides of the ball and bring the WWBA World Championship Title back to East Cobb. 
  
-Jason Phillips


Elyjah Mason (2027, Lake Forest, CA) was outstanding throughout his week in Jupiter finishing with 8 hits in 19 at-bats for a .421 average.  Five of his eight hits went for extra bases, including a pair of home runs.  The Oklahoma State commit added six walks and finished with a .560 OBP and 1.455 OPS.

Cole Flashnick (2027, Dallas, TX) put together an overall standout performance in Jupiter, showcasing excellent bat-to-ball skill and flashed all-fields power.  The left-handed hitting shortstop finished with a .333 average, hitting a pair of triples, walked four times and scored five runs while driving in three.  The Arkansas commit, showcased solid actions on the dirt, making plays consistently with a quick arm across.

Jake Ivey (2027, Gunter, TX) has a prototypical, athletic frame at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds with room to add.  He is an athletic mover down the slope with a four-pitch mix that all land for strikes.  The left-hander works with tempo and sequences the mix well to keep hitters off balance.  The fastball was up to 94 in my look, striking out five over four innings pitched.  The Razorback commit showcased why he is one of the top arms of the class of 2027.
 
-Scott Rankin

Ty Brandes (2028, Merritt Island, Florida) put together some of the best at-bats on the week and finished going 8-14 with a pair of doubles and a homer. He also drove in seven runs. Brandes has a knack for getting on base and making consistently hard contact. The bat to ball plays at an extremely high level with a solid all fields approach. He can hit quality pitching with the likes of anyone and really showed well throughout the entire week. It’s all fields ability but there is still plenty of power to go with it mainly to the pull-side. Brandes is currently committed to Auburn and it is easy to see why. Dude just hits.

Jake Kim (2027, Studio City, California) had the power on full display all week and finished the event with three no-doubters that all got out in a hurry. He also went 5-9, drove in eight runs, and scored six runs. Needless to say, Kim was an absolute force batting within the heart of the lineup for a loaded team. The power here can be unreal as everything off his bat comes off with loud exit velocities. He gets into the power easy and that bat speed will play. Swing is as explosive as it gets. Another big D1 commit here and it certainly looks like UCLA got a good one.

Charlie Fuller (2027, Ladera Ranch, California) was flat out dominant out of the bullpen for his squad and showed the full kitchen sink. He worked 92-93 with his fastball that showed late riding life getting upwards of 22 IVB. He went to a curve in the 79-80 range showing sharp downer bite with healthy 12-6 power depth. Curve breaks late and gets landed and could absolutely buckle hitters. He also flashed a change at 82 with hard fading life getting up to 20 inches of horizontal. Just a huge outing out of the pen for Fuller and really showed what the projection could look like in this lone look. He is currently committed to Oklahoma State.

William Haggerty (2027, Rumford, Rhode Island) was dominant in this look and held a stacked lineup in check over the course of three innings pitched. Fastball worked 89-92 from a low release height and comes out easy with late life. Went to a slider in the 76-79 range with sharp later sweeper break and could land it at will for the most part no matter the hitter or count. He also mixed in a change in the low-80s with hard fading action. Feel to pitch, mix, and sequence was evident in this look and easy to see why Haggerty is committed to Florida. Definitely a serious prospect moving forward.

-Geoff Billock

2027 OF Jake Cueto (Miami, FL) the Miami commit truly gets an offense started from the leadoff spot as he seemingly found a way on base multiple times during each game whether it was an XBH or working the count and drawing a walk. The hands are loose and quick from the left side and he sprayed the ball into both gaps, showing the ability to manipulate the barrel. Once on base, he created pressure and distracted the pitcher by consistently getting quality jumps and always ready to take the next bag. In some cases after drawing the walk he would steal second and third base during the next at-bat, putting himself in scoring position right away. Batted an impressive .625 for the event. Defensively he shows a quick first step and can cut down a ball hit into the gaps. Continued to elevate his draft stock as a difference making prospect at the top of a lineup. 

2027 MIF Conor Rae (Gilbert, AZ) the Arkansas commit was an offensive catalyst for Jason Kidd Select as they made a deep playoff run behind his .400 BA and .545 OBP at the top of the lineup. Fast hands from the right side of the plate with a present feel to barrel it up, drive the ball into the gaps. Rae also possesses present juice as well, homering during one of his at-bats. Above average runner who gets on base and finds a way to score. In the field up the middle he displays lateral range, fields the ball under control, and can make the off-balanced plays. His impact is felt in multiple ways throughout a game and continued to solidly himself as a high-end producer. 

2027 MIF Selvin Garrett (Buda, TX) the Texas commit certainly made himself known from a power perspective during the event as he homered three times in four games. From the right side of the plate the hands are lightning quick and he finds the barrel often, getting the job done to drive in runs. Can handle big velocity and finished with a .400 BA for the event. Up the middle is where he continued to shine though as he displays smooth footwork, ranging freely to his right and left to make the play paired with the above average athleticism. Garrett had established himself as a top prospect nationally for his class coming into the event, but his performance in Jupiter may have elevated his overall stock even more as there’s plenty to dream on with still the best to come. 
 
-Mike Maerz


Jude Carter (2027, Taylorsville, NC) was slotted to pitch in a bracket play game against a lineup of really physical and talented hitters and proceeded to throw 3 scoreless innings. A 6-foot-5 right-handed pitcher that was 91-96 with the fastball, featured an upper 80’s cutter, low 80’s slider and a change up that was especially effective to left handed hitters. Struck out 5 batters total. A really good pitcher that threw well in a big spot. Committed to Alabama. 


Jalen Jacob (2027, Ontario, CAN) one of the most feared left-handed power hitters in the 2027 class. Hit 2 home runs in the round robin portion of the WWBA Worlds tournament and hit another home run in bracket play of the 2026 Jupiter tournament. Was walked 8 times across 5 games in pool/bracket play. Launched a long game tying pull side HR as part of a multi-hit game in bracket play. Has the feel of a player that will have plenty of big swings in big spots throughout his baseball career. Committed to Kansas State.

Isaias Torres (2028, Oviedo, FL) one of the best 2-way prospects in the 2028 class. Hit 3 home runs in Jupiter this year including 2 walk-off home runs. All 5 of his tournament hits went for extra bases and he clearly already possesses top of the class left-handed power in the 2028 class. Also up to 94 on the mound and landing breaking balls for strikes. Held the quality of the stuff for over 4 innings. True impact player on both sides of the baseball.

-Blaine Peterson


Lincoln Demmons, C, 2027, Wow Factor National 18u 

While Lincoln Demmons (27, AZ) didn’t have the overall performance with the bat that he would have like in Jupiter, the game I saw was so impressive he must get a mention.  Coming to the plate in the biggest moment of the game for Wow Factor National, Demmons delivered a towering grand slam to left field that reached the building well beyond the outfield wall.  His club was being held hitless through the first 3.0 innings, but Wow Factor exploded for 6-runs in the bottom of the 4th spearheaded by the Demmons home run.  A solid 6-0/195, he is a factor every game behind the dish and displayed a quality skillset across all disciplines that you look for in a catcher.  He would follow up his grand slam with a moon shot that once again reached the building beyond the left field wall at Roger Dean for a two-run home run.  The Utah commit finished the week with those two home runs, 6 RBI and put together an OPS of 1.333 all told.  Demmons’ combination of catching prowess and offensive power could make him an interesting draft in the spring of 2027. 
 

Chase Thompson, 1B, 2027, Hawaii Elite 2G National 

Chase Thompson did what stars do in big situations, delivering a pure swing with the bases loaded that broke open a game that was an offensive struggle up to that point.  Team Northeast and Hawaii Elite 2G National were locked in a scoreless tie through 4.1 innings when Hawaii loaded the bases for Thompson.  In the 0-0 count he put a pure swing on an 88-mph fastball away and squared it up.  Letting it travel and taking a direct path to the inside of the ball, the USC commit smoked a pure backspin line-drive that left the yard in a hurry to the opposite field.  Thompson is 6-1/215, he already looks the part, and the power is going to continue to be a factor in his game moving forward.  That being said, his willingness to use the whole field is going to make him a tough out for most opponents.  All told, the lefthanded hitter collected three doubles, one home run, seven RBI with a .474 OBP and finished with an OPS of 1.188 for the week.  
 

Griffin Boesen, OF, 2027, Canes Midwest 18u National 

Griffin Boesen (27, FL) is a physical presence and backs it up with the damage he does at the plate as he hits in the middle of the potent Canes Midwest 18u National order.  At 6-5/215 you could put him in any lineup at the next level and he would still standout.  His lefthanded stroke is powerful with high-level barrel feel, and he can use the whole field.  While the power is present and projects to be middle of the order power at the next level, Boesen’s ability to drive baseballs foul line to foul line that makes his offensive profile so intriguing.  He stays on time and recognizes spin while controlling the strike zone.  Boesen is committed to Duke and finished his week in Jupiter with two triples, batting .375 with 8 RBI and an OPS of 1.075. 
 
-Craig Cozart

Calum Andersen (‘27 CAN)- Have been banging the table to get the Sooners commit into the conversation of the true upper echelon arms in this draft class and his outing a WWBA Worlds cemented that notion. It's a buttery rock and fire delivery with low tension stroke that produces easy gas with hop through the glove. 93-95 mostly in the look, up to 96 twice and showed feel to command all quadrants. Opposing bats stepped in on time to their credit but as he established the feel to spin the bitting two planed breaker, it freed up the fastball to play up to its full quality. Multi-million-dollar arm that OU staff is surely hoping prices folks out come next July. I don’t foresee that being the case, but it's a weird year for the draft with so many different possible outcomes on the table.  

John Hucko (‘27 NC)- The true left-handed centerfielder is on a rocket ship and rightfully so. Hitting at all the big stops against top arms and possessing real impact table setter tools. There’s thump here but as of now it plays more on a line through the gaps. Absolutely can barrel it up with the best left-handed hitters in the class and legs make a difference both in the coverage in Center and on the bases. Has played himself into early Day 1 conversation. 

Christopher (CJ) Wall (‘27 GA)- Lots of jargon regarding the defensive fit throughout the spring and summer. It's abundantly clear where he fits in and that is in the middle of the order. Did a nice job behind the dish throughout the look and has the athleticism for third base or corner outfield, regardless It's a rare prep hit tool and not just the bat to ball artist with spray. Its line-to-line intent with ability to lose a ball to all parts. Love the rhythm and approach. Handles quality arms with ease. All over the barrel throughout the WWBA Worlds and a big championship game performance landed him the MVP trophy of the most prestigious event at the level.  

-Troy Sutherland

Brady Cunningham (‘27, Mokena, Ill.) entered Jupiter with an already impressive 2026 résumé and continued to build on it with a strong showing on both sides of the ball. The Texas A&M commit and Perfect Game All-American collected four hits and drove in two runs, highlighted by a loud home run that registered a 106 mph exit velocity off the bat. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Cunningham displayed his physicality, athleticism, and present strength offensively, with his impact extending to the mound as well. He struck out all three batters he faced while running his fastball up to 91 mph, capping an impressive two-way showing in Jupiter.

Jacsen Tucker (‘27, SS, Oswego, Ill.), a 2026 Perfect Game All-American, made his hits count in Jupiter, with all three going for extra bases. The Oklahoma State commit finished with a double, triple, and home run while driving in four runs, with his biggest swing coming on a game-tying blast at 103 mph. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound right-handed hitter uses his length and strong hands to generate impact, allowing him to drive the baseball to multiple parts of the field. His projectability and damage potential make him an intriguing talent in the 2027 class.


Ryan Yormack (‘27, 1B, Merrick, N.Y.) continued to show the power that has been a consistent part of his offensive profile throughout 2026. The Vanderbilt commit collected four hits in 10 at-bats at the WWBA World Championship, including a double and home run, while driving in five runs. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound right-handed hitter pairs present strength with good barrel control and the bat speed to do damage, a combination that translated into another productive performance.

Recent Texas commit Mikey Batiste (‘28, OF, Mississauga, Ontario) put his offensive strength on display in Jupiter, collecting four hits, including a double and grand slam, while driving in six runs. The 2028 switch-hitter brings an imposing 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame to the box, pairing impressive bat speed with easy power. Those tools were evident from both sides of the plate, as he launched a grand slam from the left side while also producing loud contact from the right. His ability to drive the baseball to all fields, combined with his physicality and offensive upside, reinforces why the Mississauga, Ontario native is among the top-ranked players in the class.

- Donovan May


Leo Nockley (2027 Plains, PA) was once again in the spotlight down in Jupiter, as the #1 player in PA and #30 prospect nationally finished with a .455 BA which included a pair of HRs and a triple. The stats, athleticism, and intangibles all jump off the chart for the Tennessee commit who has shown the ability time and time again to hit for both AVG & power against the highest level of competition. He consistently puts together professional ABs and excels at maximizing the frame for easy juice production to all fields.

It should come as no surprise that 2026 PG All-American Mac Morris (2027 Taylors, SC) makes this list, as the 6-foot, 187 pound Alabama commit posted a 1.130 OPS over his six games in Jupiter. The toolset here is certainly one to fall in love with, as Morris is an athlete at the highest level with loud metrics and effortless actions. He commanded the INF defensively like few others can and showed why he sits at #29 nationally for the ‘27 class.

Dariel Carrion (2027 San Juan, PR) is a near guarantee to provide fireworks each time he takes the field, and Jupiter was no different. Another 2026 All-American, the 5-foot-11, 216 pound Florida State commit did it all for his SBA/Marlins side over the course of the week, posting a .409 AVG while being a usual staple behind the dish. Carrion presents intriguing physicality & strength with a well-rounded toolset across the board, landing him as a must watch T50 player in the country.

-AJ Denny

Harrison Corey (2027, Winterville, N.C.)
Corey was excellent during his start that came in pool play, punching out eight batters across four scoreless. The North Carolina commit was up to 94 mph with a hard biting slider. The pitchability is excellent and he has an arsenal of bat missing repertoire to like. 

Logen Doran (2027, Hilo, Hawaii)
Doran was terrific during his outing, running the fastball up to 93 mph and striking out six batters over four innings. He’s a dynamic athlete with a quick arm that continues to trend in the right direction. The arsenal is advanced and the athlete on the mound is one to bet on.

Demarcus Lowery (2027, Knoxville, Tenn.)
Lowery was a revelation during his time in Jupiter, hitting .333 during East Cobb’s championship run while showing improved power. The athlete and the strength here are two very enticing tools and the power uptick shouldn’t be ignored. He’s dynamic and has game changing tools.

-Kyler Peterson


Moises Gudino (2027, Tampa, Fla.) was a force at the plate throughout the weekend, hitting north of .300 with some loud sounds coming from his bat. The Mississippi State commit had his most impactful game on Saturday, working on the barrel twice with one of those being a homer to right field. Gudino has a smooth left handed swing with intent to do damage at the plate, and he’s got plenty of athleticism to continue to play through the middle of the field on defense. Gudino should be a name to keep an eye on as we inch closer to next July, and it should be interesting to see in the spring of ‘27.

David Cook (2027, Fieldale, Vir.) has all the makings of a power arm in the future with his stuff on the mound. Cook ran the heater up to 96 in Jupiter with higher spin on both the fastball (~2700 RPM) and the tight spinning slider (~2900 RPM). The stuff has all of the potential in the world, especially out of a bullpen role in high leverage innings. Cook has an efficient lower half with some strength to the frame and an athletic delivery. It should be an intriguing watch to see where he’s at this time next year, whether that’s in pro ball or at South Carolina.

-Jake Willis

Sammy Echeverry (2027, Kissimmee, Fla.)
Echeverry had about as good of a weekend from an offensive standpoint, hitting north of .500 with two home runs and no strikeouts. It’s a really good bat with usable, in-game power that plays to all fields. The first bomb was an opposite field shot and then he turned on one later in the event for a 106EV blast. This is an impactful, middle of the order presence.

Derek Yormack (2027, Merrick, N.Y.)
Yormack ran the heater up to 97 mph and tossed two pain free innings during his Jupiter outing. He’s a physical right-hander who fills up the strike zone and has three solid offerings. The breaking ball was solid in the low-80s and the velo uptick is a new wrinkle in the profile for Yormack.

Chase Colangelo (2027, Haymarket, Va.)
Colangelo was excellent throughout the weekend, hitting north of .700 with only one strikeout across his games played. It’s real feel to hit from the left side with burgeoning impact and an accurate barrel. There is little whiff to his game at all, a trait which will attract pro interest, and he had a dominant showing. 
 
Cooper George (2028, Long Beach, Calif.)
George punched out nine hitters across 3.2 scoreless innings in what was ultimately two outings for the southpaw. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound left-hander is a silky mover and oozes projection. He worked in the 90-94 mph range across both outings, having excellent feel for a changeup in the low-80s and landed the breaking ball for strikes. The upside here is sky high.

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...

Big Offense Propels TBT/FTB to Title

Hannah Jo Groves
Article Image
Big Offense Wins TBT/FTB Phillies Scout WWBA Freshman Title Runs scoring in every inning led to the TBT/FTB Phillies Scout Team taking home the 2026 PG WWBA Freshman World Championship - winning over Canes National 15U 10-5. It had been a long week in West Palm Beach for the freshmen coming in from around the country to go up against the best of the best. While they had gotten to play on the backfields during the whole tournament, the players who made it to the championship game got to play it in the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches Stadium. TBT/FTB showed their defensive strength right away - executing quickly to retire each of the first three batters. With the bats in their hands, they also showed speed to deliver - with Luca Briggs batting Trey Vandergriff in for the first run of the game and Kingston George quickly plating Briggs with a double in the next at-bat. In the first at-bat of...

Beast of the East Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘31 Ryan Spann (GA) obliterates this ball for a solo HR 💣. Ball jumps off barrel & shows the juice and & PS impact. 3x @PGSelectFest alum. #BeastOfTheEast @PG_Georgia https://t.co/TgVGPfDRYc — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 10, 2026 Ryan Spann (2031, Warner Robins, Ga.) took home MVP honors after a standout weekend and finishing as the number one player on the top performers list. The top player from Georgia and number two player in the country led all performers in home runs (2) and tallied 7 RBIs on his way to a .400 average. The overall profile on Spann is super advanced for the age with electric offensive upside and one of if not the prettiest swing in the class. This will be a fun follow for years to come and I am all in. Carlo Rivero (2031, Apopka, Fla.) checks in as the number one overall player in the class and it’s easy to see why at...

East Cobb/SD Padres ST Explode Late for WWBA Worlds Win A hard-fought, crazy ending resulted in the East Cobb/SD Padres scout team coming back and winning the 2026 PG WWBA World Championship over the SBA/Marlins Scout Team 2028. The score was 8-7 after the championship was won with a walk-off balk. After going against some of the most talented, highly-ranked players in the country for the past couple days, it was finally time for the championship game at Roger Dean Complex Stadium in Jupiter, FL. The WWBA World Championship, or, as it’s more commonly and lovingly referred to as, “Jupiter,” has become a favorite for all who have been part of its iconic, golf-cart infested, electric atmosphere.

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 James Watson (2030, Canton, Ga.) showed the two-way upside to start bracket play for East Cobb Astros 15u. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went three innings and with three strikeouts and spread five hits and two walks for three runs. Watson works from a hybrid windup from the middle-of-the-rubber into a small heel-turn and an around-the-belt leg lift before using drop-and-drive back leg mechanics into a longer, in-line stride down the mound. Showed some feel to get extension down the mound. The hands separate into a moderate arm action before accelerating through from an over-the-top arm angle. The fastball ran up to 86 with arm-side run and life. Paired it with a curveball with 11-5 shape and solid two-plane break. Mixed in a change-up in the upper- 70s with some vertical depth. Competed at the top of the zone well. Athletic...
