Perfect Game 2015 MLB Draft Preview Index

Draft Reports:
1-50 | 51-100 | 101-150 | 201-250 | 251-300 | 301-350 | 351-400 | 401-450 | 451-500



151. Brendon Little, lhp, Malvern Prep
L-L, 6-2/200, Malvern, Pa.
College Commitment: North Carolina

Little has a strong and mature build and throws from a high three-quarters to over-the-top arm action that produces big downhill angle on his pitches when he's working low in the strike zone. His arm action is loose and tension free and he still has some projection left despite his build. Little usually works in the 88-92 mph range but has touched as high as 95 mph this spring, big numbers for a southpaw, and the potential is there for him to settle in with a consistent low-90s fastball. Little's best secondary pitch at present is his mid-70s changeup that has lots of life which Little throws with confidence. He also throws a mid- to upper-70s curveball that will flash good depth at times.


152. Travis Lakins, rhp, Ohio State (SO)
R-R, 6-1/175, Franklin, Ohio
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

A true draft-eligible sophomore, Lakins has experienced an increased workload this spring as he nearly doubled his innings pitched from his freshman season to 2015. Showing durability from his 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame, Lakins is the only pitcher on the Buckeyes pitching staff to make 15 starts this spring, accruing 96 innings on the mound. With a high leg lift at the start of his delivery and a fast arm coming through, Lakins shows the ability to work both sides of the plate, mix well, and miss bats with his entire repertoire. Armed with a fastball that consistently works in the low-90s, Lakins can amp it up into the mid-90s throughout a start while spotting low to either side. The righthander is full of athleticism – as evidenced by three all-conference selections in basketball during his prep days – that allows him to both repeat his delivery and field his position at a high level. Of his four-pitch mix it’s his curveball that he shows the most comfort for working in the 70-74 mph range with big depth and 12-to-6 shape. Rounding out the arsenal, Lakins has both a slider and changeup though his fastball and curveball are his two primary pitches.


153. Devin Davis, 1b, Valencia HS
R-R, 6-2/215, Santa Clarita, Calif.
College Commitment: Loyola Marymount

Davis has had a strong spring, hitting .407-6-26 with 18 walks versus only 12 strikeouts in 28 games. He's also been a consistently strong performer on the summer and fall travel circuit, where his powerful righthanded swing has produced some big home runs in heavily scouted games against top level pitching. The PG All-American also stands out for his smooth glove work at first base and his overall athleticism. Scouts often like their first base drafts out of high school to be lefthanded hitters, and more projectable, but Davis' present tools play loudly now.


154. Braden Bishop, of, Washington (JR)
R-R, 6-1/190, Mountain View, Calif.
Previously Drafted: Braves ’12 (36)

In terms of pure athletic ability, Bishop is right up there with anybody in the 2015 draft class. Standing at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Bishop shows present strength on his frame and does so while maintaining the fast-twitch muscle that helps impact his overall game. A top-of-the-order bat who projects to stay in center field long-term, Bishop is an easy plus runner whose speed shows up in a game more often than not. The second member of the University of Washington to appear within the top 200, joining catcher Austin Rei, Bishop hit .295 on the spring while starting all 49 games in which he appeared. A righthanded hitter, Bishop has been a steady performer at the top of the Huskies’ lineup showing a direct path to the ball with the feel and ability spray hard line drives to all parts of the field. Going gap-to-gap allows Bishop to put his big speed on display and stretch out an extra-base, though he has also shown some power this spring hitting four home runs after never hitting one his previous two seasons. Once on base that speed becomes a factor yet again, leading the Pac-12 in stolen bases last spring before finishing fifth in the league with 15 this year. His high-end athleticism plays extremely well in center field also, showing big-time closing speed to either gap with long gliding steps after getting a solid first step.


155. Ryan Johnson, of/rhp, College Station HS
R-R, 6-3/200, College Station, Texas
College Commitment: Texas Christian

One of the higher-end two-way talents in this draft class, College Station High School’s Ryan Johnson has been intriguing scouts for quite awhile now with his ability as a position player as well as his talent on the mound. At 6-foot-3, 200-pounds, Johnson possesses a really athletic, strong build that projects well in both phases of the game. As a hitter, Johnson shows a very smooth lefthanded stroke with outstanding hands and bat speed to go along with solid present power that could project to be plus in time. He’s a very good defensive outfielder, covering lots of ground with true middle-of-the-field athleticism. He ran a 6.86 60-yard dash at last summer’s National Showcase, while throwing 92 mph from the outfield. He projects well in either center or right field at the next level. And if all of that wasn't enough, he’s also a very good pitching prospect, showing low-90s heat consistently while being clocked as high as 94 mph to go along with a developing curveball and changeup to round out his arsenal. Johnson has recently let it be known that he fully intends to honor his commitment to TCU.

16u Tourney All-American Team

Michael Albee
Article Image
Hitter of the Year: Koa Romero is the Hitter of the Year for the 16u group, as he would come to every premier event of the summer and earn All-Tournament honors (Beast of the East, 16/17u WWBA, Jupiter) in every single one. Over 82 plate appearances, Romero would pump ten homeruns with forty two RBI and sixteen walks, good for a .378 average and 1.339 OPS. The performance on volume at the best events of the year pushed Romero over the edge here, as he’d hit a pair of homeruns in Jupiter (one of them at 112 EV) as an underclassmen and collect double digit hits in BOTH WWBA events with a combined six jacks over the two tournaments. It was a summer that combined performance and winning on the biggest stages for Romero. It’s a quiet left-handed swing that packs a punch. He would reap the benefits of his performances, earning a commitment to LSU and jumping to the #74 prospect in...

Loads of traits & strikes. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @PG_DeepSouth pic.twitter.com/DEjFqRcsIY — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 6, 2025 Tucker Rice, RHP, Class of 2027 Commitment: Alabama Alabama has continued to stay red hot in the recruiting trail ever since August 1st rolled around on the calendar and have continued to stack major pieces in their ’27 class. They dip into Mississippi to land one of the premier arms and one that’s stood out on the circuit for quite some time. It’s a fast arm and the athleticism certainly shines working down the slope. The velocity has continued to tick up over the last calendar year and reached into the low-90s towards the end of the summer. He’s confident in his changeup and the breaking ball is...

17u Tourney All-American Team

Vincent Cervino

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...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things.  C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag.

Scout Stories: Part 5

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Highlights: The Cornhuskers were a difficult team to figure in ’25 as they finished with 33 wins, played just .500 (15-15) in the Big Ten but had some big wins at various times during the season and got hot at the right time. They knocked off then #16 Vanderbilt in the second game of the year, beat #5 Oregon State 2-out-of-3 at home in late March and then got hot at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to win the Big Ten Tournament. They beat Michigan State in a 10-inning thriller before taking care of #4 Oregon, knocking off Penn State and then shutout #13 UCLA to punch their ticket to the Chapel Hill Regional. Head coach Will Bolt has now led his alma mater to three conference titles and three NCAA Regional appearances during his six years in Lincoln. No different than when he was a player, Bolt’s teams play with passion and toughness, this was never more...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 You like athletes? You like defenders who can impact a game at any given point? Look not further than this class as it's loaded from coast-to-coast with elite defenders all over the diamond.  C: Brogan Witcher, Bakersfield, CA Our scouting staff got several strong looks at Witcher whether that was at the Summer Kickoff, Sophomore National or the Underclass All American Games where he showcased his strong overall skillset and especially his advanced ability behind the plate. His 6-foot-3,180 pound build looks like one that will fill in quite nicely and be that big and physical catcher’s frame. His arm talent is undeniable where he gets it out quick and runs it up to 79 mph on throwdowns to 2nd (1.84 pop). Besides the standout catch/throw ability, we’ve seen him frame/receive strong arms and block it well during...

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division.

Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement  as she worked her rise and curve just out...

Middle of the order traits #UBCWest @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/UXqDVFmUBx — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) June 18, 2025 I was fortunate enough to see a lot of highly competitive games with loads of talent on the field, the game that sticks out to me the most was Alpha Prime 2026 vs. ZT National Prospects at the UBC West. The game was an efficiently played affair with arms dominating on both sides. Graham Schlicht was masterful for Alpha, striking out 12 hitters over 5 dominant innings. PG All-American Julian Cazares came out of the pen blowing smoke, touching 97 mph with the fastball. On the other side, Jake Carbaugh surrendered just one hit and...
