PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Michael Albee
Joey Cohen
Ryan Miller
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.




RHP Calum Andersen | Vauxhall Academy of Baseball (CAN) | Brewers Langley Blaze | Oklahoma commit

Realistically, I’m not sure you could have asked for Andersen to do more than he did in Jupiter last week. I liked this a year ago when he was unranked and uncommitted, just getting on the radar at Beast of the East in his first ever PG event. He was 84-88 then, and you could see the jump coming given the delivery and body. Sure enough, that happened. He was up to 96-mph with 67% strikes and showed good capacity to spin the baseball over five innings, striking out eight and allowing just two hits with no runs. This is a top two round arm for me, easily. Andersen checks boxes, and he is not even seventeen years old yet. Ease, stuff, strikes and projection are all in the profile for him. Expect to see Andersen’s name called early next draft. -MA

C Dariel Carrion | Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy (PR) | SBA/Marlins Scout Team 2028 | Florida State Commit

Carrion’s squad made a deep run to the championship game, allowing for a lot of at-bats and looks from evaluators. Over 23 plate appearances, the Puerto Rican backstop collected nine hits, including three doubles to drive in five. Carrion operates from a strong-bodied frame with present athleticism. In the box, he starts even and open with high compact hands, working to the barrel via an inward hovering leg load. Carrion showcased a knack for going the other way with authority, doubling twice to right field, also possessing impact ability to the pull side. Behind the plate, Carrion’s advanced defensive ability shines, in part thanks to a rocket throwing arm and minuscule pop times. He gets into an athletic position when blocking and receiving, while possessing the intangibles needed to handle a pitching staff. The Seminoles commit is a top prep catcher for the upcoming draft class. -RM

SS Mitch Circuit | La Jolla Country Day (CA) | TB SoCal Scout | Santa Clara commit

Circuit has been another consistent scout ball standout for our SoCal staff with the Padres Squad, producing quality at-bats from both sides of the plate while showing enough defensive aptitude on the dirt to warrant continued looks there. He carried that momentum into Jupiter with a loud 5-for-12 showing where all five were extra-base hits, including two home runs from the right side after previously going deep from the left in a recent scout ball look. The 6-foot, 170-pound frame is wiry and athletic, with relatively simple swing operations from both sides. There’s a natural rhythm to the hands and a small, quiet lift into launch, allowing him to get the barrel into the zone quickly before creating more length and lift out front. He can really drive the ball with backspin to the pull side without sacrificing the ability to also impact it to all fields. The offensive production is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook, and Circuit is quickly establishing himself as a must-follow prospect in SoCal. -JC
 

SS Chase Colangelo | PDG Academy (VA) | Stars Marucci 2027 | Virginia Tech commit
Well, I had Chase Colangelo as a bat to watch this week after I took in a game of at bats from him in the round robin. It was nice to see that watch notice materialize into performance, as he hit 10-14 on the week with a home run, eight RBI, five walks to just one strikeout and two stolen bases. It’s a quiet left-handed swing with average bat speed right now and the ability to cover the zone with lots of contact. He did not get beat often this week, and was able to break down and track spin often. The power here is going to be fringe average to average. He creates good angles in the swing to maximize the impact he possesses. Colangelo is a shortstop now and has good hands out front, a quick release and ability to throw from different slots. He may kick over to second in the long-run, but he should be given every chance to prove himself at short. He brings a must follow profile to the table this spring. -MA

RHP Logen Doran | Waiakea (HI) | Baum Northwest | Arkansas commit 

 Doran has been on my radar since the 2025 BCS Challenge in AZ, so it was fun to see him deliver four strong innings against a loaded Ohio Warhawks lineup on a bigger national stage in Jupiter, punching out six. The first thing that jumps out is the 6-foot-5, 185-pound frame, paired with a very real athletic engine that leaves plenty of room for development. He operates with easy, balanced mechanics and some deception, working through a shortened arm action in the back that helps hide the ball before coming through a higher three-quarter slot. The fastball sat in the low 90s and topped 93, flashing quality four-seam carry despite some variation in shape at times. His sharp, 79-81 mph downer curveball is the clear separator at present showing late bite and effective tunneling off the heater while consistently generating ugly whiffs and chase against both right and left-handed hitters. There’s a lot to like in the current mix, particularly the breaking ball but the combination of frame, athleticism and relative ease of operation gives Doran the type of developmental upside that should catch the attention of evaluators looking for more velocity to come. -JC

SS Selvin Garrett | Johnson (TX) | Southwest Canes | Texas commit
The Texas prep class this year is extremely deep and Selvin Garrett gets overlooked at times. The shortstop made sure that was not the case down in Jupiter, collecting a hit in every game and launching three monster home runs. Garrett possesses a lean, athletic frame with quick bat speed through the zone. There is obvious present power with more to come down the line. Defensively, soft hands and twitchy athleticism are shown on the dirt with the actions to stick at shortstop long term. -TH

LHP Cooper George | Long Beach Wilson (CA) | TB SoCal Scout | TCU commit
George has been a standout for me since PGWS, and a string of strong scout ball outings throughout the fall culminated in his best look yet at Jupiter, where he touched a new high with his heater at 94 and was just dominant across two scoreless outings. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame remains ultra-projectable, and he’s one of the smoother movers down the mound in the class with a clean, loose arm action to release. The heater shows quality life and carry, generating whiff above barrels, while his feel for the changeup has long been a strength thanks to its late depth and fade and just consistent feel to land and execute. The encouraging development in Jupiter was how he showed the ability to land his bigger, sweeping breaker for strikes, giving him a more complete three-pitch mix and strengthening the starting profile that he already gives off with how well he moves and repeats. With the physical projection and present feel for the craft, George is most definitely trending in the right direction. -JC

SS Moises Gudino | A3 Academy (FL) | CBU 2027 Scout Team | Mississippi State commit
Gudino first caught my attention from a distance last year when digging into PG performance data, where the barrel skills were already evident. The bigger question was how much impact he would ultimately grow into at the high school level. His summer performance and Jupiter showing have helped answer that question, as he homered four times at WWBA National before launching one of the more impressive shots of the Jupiter, a towering pull-side home run at 103 mph. There’s a lot to appreciate in the left-handed stroke, which works in sync with the lower half and hands through a natural, well-timed move into launch. From there, he delivers a loose and quick barrel through a relatively direct path, showing the ability to accelerate through contact and create loft out front. Just as importantly, the impact isn't limited to one part of the field, and he pairs that all-fields ability with a knack for keeping the swing-and-miss in check. Add in quality athleticism and the ability to handle himself on the dirt, and Gudino is putting together a well-rounded profile with legitimate offensive upside. He has firmly established himself as a priority follow for evaluators in Florida. -JC
 

OF John Hucko | Charlotte Catholic (NC) | Orioles Scout Team 2027 | Auburn commit
Hucko has raised his stock significantly this fall and capped it off with an exceptional showing in Jupiter. The outfielder from North Carolina hit nearly .550 on the event, struck out only once, collected four doubles, and stole six bags on top of it all. The profile is extremely fun to watch. He is a top of the class athlete and it shows up throughout his game. There is centerfield ability on the defensive side and 70-grade speed allows him to cause havoc on the bases. At the plate, a fluid left-handed swing generates quality all-fields impact with the ability to collect extra-base hits at a high rate. Hucko will see a significant rise in our next board update and looks to be a name that will only continue to rise. -TH
 

OF Deuce Jenkins | Jackson Academy (MS) | USA Prime National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team | Mississippi State commit
Jenkins got off to a hot start down in Jupiter. The Mississippi outfielder hit a pair of home runs over the course of the first two days, as well as a triple. He ended the week with five total extra-base hits and a 1.542 OPS. The profile is just so impressive. It is supreme athleticism with the ability to handle centerfield. He is a plus runner on the bases and can apply pressure consistently. The power from the left side of the plate stands out. One of his homers went over the batter’s eye in dead center field (438 ft) and the other went out to the backside against a strong wind (398 ft). Jenkins entered the week ranked as the No. 81 prospect on our Top-100 and looks to be in line for a significant boost after his performance. -TH

RHP Nate Kesselmark | Choate Rosemary Hall (CT) | Canes National 18U/New York Mets Scout Team | Notre Dame commit
Kesselmark threw the ball about as well as one can down in Jupiter. Across two appearances, the right-hander did not allow a walk or hit and stuck out nine hitters over 5 2/3 innings. The fastball got up to 94 mph and showed hop out of the hand. A mid-70’s sweeper showed legit bit with the ability to miss bats and a quality changeup rounded out the mix. Kesselmark attacked hitters and threw the entire mix for strikes. The results were obviously impressive and the stuff is there to match. -TH
 

OF Demarcus Lowery | Knoxville Catholic (TN) | East Cobb/SD Padres ST | Louisville commit
Lowery cemented his draft stock as a top three rounder for me, with plenty of room this spring to raise it even more. He would hit .333 over 18 AB with two homeruns, twelve walks and seven bags. His final OPS on the tournament would finalize at 1.378. He's a true centerfielder for me with playable speed on the basepaths to impact the game with his legs in the area. The arm should grade out as average, showing it off with an outfield assist to win his club the game deep in playoffs on Saturday. As for impact, both of his homeruns would leave the bat at 103-mph. This should get to average raw power at physical peak. He’s twitchy, athletic, can really defend at a premium position and is still just seventeen and two. There is still some swing and miss in the zone, but he generally makes good swing decisions and has proven adjustable to different parts of the zone. Exciting profile. -MA
 

SS/OF Elyjah Mason | Huntington Beach (CA) | Canes National 18U/New York Mets Scout Team | Oklahoma State Commit
Mason is a Southern California shortstop gaining helium thanks to his performance in Jupiter, posting a 1.455 OPS with two homers and three doubles. The Oklahoma State recruit works from an athletic and projectable 6-foot-3 frame, displaying quick-twitch actions both in the box and on the dirt. Mason starts upright and even at the base with high hands, utilizing a quick, direct leg load before firing through a quick set of hands. He showcased the ability to do extra base damage during the event, with the projection in his frame to do more damage as he matures. Defensively, Mason possesses an up-the-middle profile with possible landing spots at both shortstop and center field. The prep middle infield demographic is a coveted profile that consistently lands in the first round, giving Mason a chance to rise throughout the cycle. -RM

RHP Samir Mohammed | Tampa Jesuit (FL) | USA Prime National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team | LSU commit
Mohammed entered the event in a pretty good spot on our current Top-100 (ranked No. 57 overall), but increased his stock even more after his impressive outing. The right-hander showcased the loudest stuff of the entire event. The heater was simply elite. It sat in the upper-90’s over the course of five innings and reached triple digits. An outstanding changeup looks like a true double-plus offering, to go with a quality slider as well. Mohammed recorded 11 strikeouts during his start and clearly made a strong impression on all organizations in attendance. -TH 

RHP Jack Nicholls | Haddon Heights (NJ) | Boston Red Sox Scout Team | Tennessee Commit
Nicholls battled some traffic in a brief look, striking out two over 2 2/3  frames of work. The Vols commit showcased added power on his fastball, reaching 98 mph with riding life. He mixed in a sharp two-plane breaking ball with varying shape, working primarily with the heater. Nicholls operates from a medium-to-large right-handed frame with length and lower-half strength. He starts over the face, transitioning to the belt and into a high compact leg lift. Nicholls gets down the mound via a standard reach-back arm action and high three-quarters slot. With further development of secondaries and added ability to keep the arsenal in the zone, Nicholls has a chance to ascend draft boards. -RM
 

LHP Ethan Reason | Stouffville District | Canadian Premier | Kentucky commit
Reason has been on a nice upwards trajectory since the start of spring. A long bodied southpaw, you always knew the fastball spike was looming. It was just a matter of when. Well, he ran it up to 94-mph at Jupiter and committed to Kentucky all in the same week. It was a nice two inning look for him, allowing no hits with three strikeouts and 55% strikes. Developing and maintaining both strikes and stuff as he progresses into outings will be the next step, but seeing this spike in stuff was a nice checkpoint in his progression. He throws the slider pretty hard in the low 80s with hard horizontal break at its best. There is a sparsely utilized change-up in the arsenal as well. He works from a high release point, creating some unusual down angle for hitters to decipher and handle. This is a name to keep tabs on. -MA

C Christopher (CJ) Wall | Georgia Premier Academy (GA) | East Cobb/SD Padres ST | Arkansas commit
Wall has been a name of conversation often as he has been on an absolute tear all summer and fall. The Georgia backstop capped his remarkable 2026 circuit off with an MVP performance down in Jupiter. Wall collected 10 hits over 22 at-bats with four doubles, a homer, and seven walks. The bat is legit and continues to perform against top arms. There is a real feel to hit to go with in-game power that is shown often. When a player has performed as well as he has during premier events, it is hard to deny his climb up draft boards. -TH

SS/RHP Rylan Ulrich | Lower Dauphin (PA) | Dirtbags 2027 National | Uncommitted
Ulrich is a high-level two-way prospect out of Pennsylvania who shouldn’t be uncommitted long after his Jupiter performance. He struck out four over three no-hit innings of work, walking just one. Ulrich worked a lively fastball up to 95 mph with jump from the hand, turning to a sharp two-plane slider to produce whiffs. The Lower Dauphin native goes exclusively from the stretch, working into a high compact leg lift before firing down the mound via a quick arm action and a high three-quarters slot. Ulrich employs a compact barrel from the right side of the plate, starting even with lower active hands. He turns in strong run times with the chance to stick on the dirt defensively. Ulrich recently uncommitted and is back on the market, with a number of probable suitors at the power four and high mid-major level. -RM

RHP Derek Yormack | Bellmore JFK (NY) | USG/Elev8 Rawlings National | Vanderbilt commit

Yormack was already on my radar before Jupiter after standing out in a quick PG performance-data query targeting arms that pair high strike rates with elite strikeout production. He backed that up with two scoreless innings and four strikeouts against a strong GBG lineup, reaching a new tournament-best 97 mph. Yormack fits the more physical, durable prep right-hander mold rather than the long-levered projection profile, but there’s plenty to buy into with how he moves. The delivery is easy and repeatable, with good extension and a loose, clean arm action that produces quality arm speed. His fastball shows strong carry, and the arsenal runs deeper than the velocity alone suggests, headlined by a firm tumbling changeup in the mid-80s that can be a real weapon against left-handed hitters. He also brings two distinct breaking balls with quality spin, giving him multiple avenues to attack hitters. The overall package points toward a starter, and continued improvement of the breaking-ball mix could push his stock into the top tier of prep right-handers alongside names like Ferguson, Mohammed, Pence, Carlson and Gustus. -JC

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.

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...
