Levi Clark (2024, Marietta, Ga.) put together an impressive two game stretch a few weeks back for Walton in their series sweep of Forsyth Central. The PG All-American hit a double in the first game and then followed it up with a single and a big time homer in game-two. He’s one of the more powerful players in the state and was on quite the tear before a small injury took him out of the lineup towards the end of the regular season. He picked up right where he left off with strong performances in the playoffs. He always hits and the power is off the charts. There have been some questions about where he will fit defensively at the next level but the hit tool and power continues to shine every time I see him. This one will be interesting to follow into the summer months with the MLB Draft coming up in a few months. 
 

One of the names that has caught a ton of buzz this spring, Alex Hernandez (2024, Cumming, Ga.) showcased the two-way ability that has gotten him on draft boards this spring for Forsyth Central. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound corner infielder/right-handed pitcher got the ball in a huge matchup and showed great pitchability. He sat in the upper-80s, getting up to 91 mph early on a couple times. He mixed in both a changeup with heavy fade and a breaking ball, both he could throw in any count. He also caught a barrel in the same game with a hard hit single to the pull-side. There’s supreme two-way upside here and he put up a strong spring doing both. Whether he gets drafted or makes it to the collegiate ranks, it wouldn’t shock me to see him shine doing both for a while. 
 

Tennessee commit Darrell McDowell (2025, Atlanta, Ga.) got the ball for Lassiter in a win or go home game against one of the state’s top lineups and threw the ball extremely well. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound right-hander ran the fastball up to 92 mph and sat comfortably in the 88-90 range with good carry through the zone. He mixed in a breaking ball that he’s developing feel for and flashed a splitter that showed flashes. The upside is immense with McDowell and we’ve seen it for quite some time. It’s extremely hard to square up when it’s in the zone coming from the high slot. He’s going to be a name that we monitor this summer and has a chance to make a huge jump in the rankings if the projection hits. 
 

Dane Moehler (2024, Marietta, Ga.) got the ball opposite Alex Hernandez in one of the bigger matchups of the entire year in the state. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-hander got into some trouble early on after a few defensive miscues but settled into the outing well and eventually got the win. The fastball worked in the 88-91 range and showed usual feel for his curveball and changeup. He really knows how to pitch and seems to flourish in big games, which he did once again in this one. He’s another name on the Walton roster that has been on the PG Draft Board this spring and whether he gets drafted or makes it to college is yet to be seen but the pitchability and big game trait makes me believe he’s going to be really good at the next level. 
 

Jackson Taylor (2025, Marietta, Ga.) came up with one of the bigger swings of the series for Walton in their sweep of Forsyth Central, blasting a three-run homer to the pull-side late in game-two. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound primary shortstop is one of the more projectable middle infielders in the state and the profile is really intriguing being a left-handed hitter. He has easy leverage and bat speed and seems to be tapping into the power already. Whether he can stick at shortstop or not remains to be seen but he’ll surely stick on the left-side whether that’s at shortstop or third base long term. He’s going to be a name we follow into the summer months and should be a name to get familiar with for next year. 
 

Miller Alston (2024, Marietta, Ga.) got the ball for Walton in their opening game against Forsyth Central and turned in a complete game gem. The 6-foot, 155-pound left-handed pitcher sat comfortably in the upper-80s with easy arm speed and mixed in a tight breaking ball late in counts. He’s a name that popped up last spring and has continued to turn in dominant performances ever since. There’s some two way intrigue as well with his ability to control the barrel and he runs well too. It wouldn’t shock me if a year from now we hear Alston making noise at Wofford on the mound. 
 

Landon Barr (2025, Dawsonville, Ga.) was one of the name’s that really stood out for Forsyth Central against Walton. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound middle infielder/outfielder set the table nicely, especially in the first game with multiple hits including a double off the middle of the left field wall. He handled the velocity of both arms well and showed good bat-to-ball skills and bat speed throughout the day. He was one of the major bright spots for the offense in the series and is an intriguing uncommitted player in the 2025 class.

Tyler Arnold (2024, Rancho Bernardo HS, CA) had a productive three-game series against Torrey Pines last week going 6-10 with a double, two home runs and drove in four with Rancho Bernardo taking two out of three.  In the final game of the set, Arnold had an early RBI base hit to the pull side to get the Broncos offense going.  He added an insurance run in a 3-2 game with a blast to left field in the 7th that stretched the lead to 4-2.  He closed it out on the mound in the bottom half with a 1,2,3 inning.  The third basemen is committed to Hawaii Pacific.



Levi Ham (2024, Maranatha Christian, CA) continued his solid Senior campaign by adding a couple of doubles in a matchup against La Jolla Country Day.  The big lefty is now hitting .459 with ten doubles, 8 home runs with 32 RBI. Levi also has nine appearances on the bump and carries a 1.06 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 26 innings, mostly coming out of the 'pen. The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder is heading to Point Loma Nazarene in the fall. 

Jack Circuit (2024, La Jolla Country Day, CA) can play all over the diamond at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, he has made starts at shortstop and catcher while making 7 appearances on the mound.  Hit a mammoth home run in a 3-2 win against Maranatha Christian while playing making multiple plays at short.  Made quick work in the 7th as he came in to close it out for the Torreys.  Athletic mover on the mound with a fastball that sat 87-88.  Jack will be heading to BYU in the fall


Grayson Boles (2025, St. Augustine HS, CA) was electric in his start against Madison going 5 1/3 without allowing a run and striking out 9, keeping hitters off balance throughout.  The fastball sat 88-91 and topped out at 92.  Showed off a big, firm breaking ball that had spin that exceeded 2900 RPM, with slurvy shape, sitting 79-80.  The 6-foot-5, 220-pound right-hander has an MLB ready body with long arm action and a low effort delivery.  Located in all-four quadrants with ease and that was evident as he did not allow a free pass.  He is confident with the breaker and he will throw it in any count. Grayson is currently the 10th ranked right-handed pitcher in California for the class of 2025 and is committed to Texas.

Most Likely To Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026 RJ Shields (2027, Venice, Fl.) Shields took some significant strides throughout 2025, especially on the mound. The fastball reached 95 mph in recent months and he projects well with great athleticism and a sharp breaking ball. Shields is also a left-handed bat with good thump in the stick. The Mississippi State commit shot up the rankings following a loud fall and looks poised to continue to climb. -KP High speed BP swing from '27 OF Gavin Ruvalcaba (FL)... #JrNational @Florida_PG https://t.co/OwU9I0u6eY pic.twitter.com/gjYZbmCPGE — PG Showcases (@PGShowcases) June 12, 2025 Gavin Ruvalcaba (2027, Hialeah, Fl.)

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...

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.

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.

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...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 Elite defenders from coast to coast certainly seems to be a strength and to think you could make another top-tier team without thinking, speaks to the real depth this group possesses. The infield is a no-doubt strength of the group, but what catcher Dariel Carrion can do behind the plate is like something we haven't seen in a while in the prep ranks with an absolutely bazooka of an arm.  C: Dariel Carrion (San Juan, PR)  It isn’t often you get a catching prospect as athletic and natural as Dariel Carrion, a big reason why he holds the rank of #1 player in PR and #18 nationally. Metrics wise, the 5-foot-10, 210 pound San Juan native is all you can ask for and more, posting a sub 1.80 pop time with an 84 mph arm behind the dish. He has both contact and clear power threat on the offensive end, ending 2025 with a .337 BA and 4 HRs while also...
