JUCO Notebook: February 27

Carson Bailey (2024, Richardson, Texas) worked up to 97 with his fastball out the gate and lived 95-96 throughout his short burst outing. Fastball got up to 2500 RPM showing subtle tail at times. It plays firm and gets in on hitters quick. Locates fastball well at times. He went to a change in the 85-88 range as his bread and butter secondary killing spin with good dive. Change produced 5 whiffs. He also mixed in a slider in the 80-85 getting upwards of 2500 RPM with it. Slider tight and sharp when around it. Also flashed a curve at 79. Bailey stands in at 6-foot-3 from a deceptive delivery that creates tough angles for hitters. He should be a big follow throughout the Spring with plenty of draft buzz surrounding him. He is also the Number 1 Juco prospect on the PG Juco board and currently uncommitted.  


Logan Harris (2024, Kingwood, Texas) is another arm for McLennan that showed well in his relief appearance out of the bullpen. The 6-foot-2 DBU commit worked 89-92 with his fastball getting upwards of 2500 RPM with it showing late life and good arm side run from a quick and loose arm. He went to a slider in the 76-78 range getting upwards of 2650 RPM showing sweeper traits played sharp with bite. Also flashed a change here and there in the 78-81 range as a third offering. Change played firm more than anything. All 3 pitches move in different directions which makes for an uncomfortable at-bat in general. Looks like DBU got a good one here and should have a strong season for McLennan.  




Holden Hering (2025, Mineral Wells, Texas) was solid off the bump for Weatherford in his outing and left a lot on the table to be liked. He opened up 96-98 with his fastball getting upwards of 2600 RPM and settled 94-95 working to all quads of the zone. It’s a lively fastball that comes out easy from an athletic 6-foot-5 frame. Fastball gets good carry up with life and produced a ton of late swings. Change was 82-85 and kill spin while also getting up to 20 inches of horizontal break. Slider was 83-85 getting up to 2600 RPM with and curve was 78-82 getting up to 2500 RPM. Herring has all the ingredients to be a highly effective arm with a ton of upside. He will need to harness in his off-speed command and control moving forward and once he does that, his fastball will play much better than it already does. Until he maximizes his off-speed stuff, hitters will be able to sit fastball. Herring has all the ingredients here and will look to be more consistent throughout the season. He is also committed to Arkansas.  
 
Talan Barraza (2024, Alburquerque, New Mexico) was impressive in this lone look on both sides of the ball. Barraza is an athletic short stop who certainly looks the part out there. He moves well with lateral range and made some nice plays from there. He showed excellent bat to ball ability with a strong all fields approach with sneaky pop off the barrel. Swing is compact with good bat speed. Barraza was on the barrel often in this look and should have a good year for New Mexico Juco.  

Brody Chyr (2024, Parker, Colorado) showed a sound approach in this lone look for McLennan baseball going line to line and showing a good 2-strike approach. He works the count well and shortens up when needed. He can go line to line with authority and moves well on both sides of the ball. It’s a short lefty swing that plays well to his strengths. He should be a consistent force within the McLennan lineup all year. Chyr is currently committed to Nebraska.  

Colin Roos (2023, Sandpoint, Idaho) dominant outing going 5 shutout innings against a loaded Weatherford lineup. Fastball worked 88-91 playing firm and located well all throughout his outing. He went to a change in the low-80s often commanding it well and mixing it in. Also dropped in a breaking ball in the 78-79 range. He located well all game and kept hitters off balance. Roos is currently uncommitted and should have plenty of upside at the next level. A strike thrower who mixes well and gets outs.  

Jackson Irons (2024, Arlington, Texas) has some of the best power in all of Juco and showed that in this lone look when he went deep to straight away right field. It was an absolute moon shot that just kept on carrying out. He handles velo well and can go to all fields with absolute authority coming off his barrel different. It’s a physical 6-foot-6 frame with an elite power projection. He is now batting .390 to open up the young season while slugging 7 home runs. He is on an absolutely torrid pace for power. Irons is currently uncommitted and is one of the best power bats still on the market.  

Cayden Byrd (2024, Burleson, Texas) is off to an impressive start to open up the season. Hitting for average and power, Byrd is batting .351 and has slugged 5 home runs. It’s an athletic 6-foot-1 frame with one of the smoother lefty swings you will find in Juco. He controls the at-bat and has some serious pull-side power. The swing stays well connected all throughout and can really lift and launch ball with authority. He profiles well in the outfield as a middle of the order bat who can do a number of things. He is currently committed to Texas State and should make an immediate impact once getting there.  

Kade Gambill (2022, Alpine, Utah) has been on the barrel a ton to open up the season now batting .382 with a pair of homers. It’s easy power to all fields with a clean weight transfer into contact. He can really lift and launch the ball consistently creating a ton of backspin and carry off his barrel. Gambill is uncommitted and should not be for long as the bat will play at a high level.   

Lute Chavez (2025, Vail, Arizona) really impressed on both sides of the ball. Athletic catcher who can really catch and throw with good hands. He works good at-bats with plate discipline and solid pitch recognition. The swing is short and compact from the lefty side of things and showed solid bat to ball ability with good line drive contact. Chavez is currently uncommitted.  

Kyzer Harrington (2023, Midlothian, Texas) can really impact the baseball with the likes of anyone. It’s line drive contact and everything comes off hard. He is now batting .406 to open up with 4 homeruns swinging a quick bat with good swing decisions and strong pull-side power. He went deep on a line to pull in this look and should be continuing this pace throughout the season. He is currently uncommitted but shouldn’t be for long.  

Caden Mitchell (2023, Celina, Texas) has been awesome on both sides of the ball to open up. Currently, he is one of the best Juco catchers out there and showed why in this look. He caught a runner stealing and recorded a pop time of 1.98. He can really catch and throw and has an absolute hose behind the dish. He receives it well and moves well back there with athleticism keeping the ball in front. Simply put, you do not run on this guy. On the other side of things, Mitchell was on the barrel consistently and profiles well as a line drive gap to gap hitter who can get into power every now and then. Mitchell is currently committed to Oklahoma and should make an immediate impact once getting there.

Harlin Hovater, So, Meridian  

Shorter look here, game got out of hand in a hurry but a pro stick. Feel to hit stand out in a quality lineup. Present pole to pole juice that shows at least above average. Track record producer at the level. Registered a pair of knocks and a free pass before being pulled. Overall, impressed with the barrel accuracy. Hovater should stick behind the plate with quality arm strength and feel for the game. It's going to be tough to crack the lineup at State, but he will be in the mix if the bat keeps up at the next level. 

-Troy Sutherland

Brock DeYoung, Fr, Navarro 

Right-handed hitting. Smaller and unimpressive physically but kid is a gamer. Flat bat path, pretty solid feel to hit. Good hands at shortstop, smart ballplayer. Has some serious flashes of being long term, above average defender at shortstop. Slashing .367/.415/.592.

Jordan Enyart, Fr, Ranger 

Right-handed hitter was an absolute hit machine. Barreled up 93 mph and knocked the starter out of the game and followed that up with a grand slam. Kid is a legit ballplayer. Smaller frame with a second base home long term. Plenty of twitch, hit tool will be the carrier. Good bat speed with a flat bat path. Has some juice in there, but better as a slasher. Plays with energy. Slashing .357/.446/.482 

Cody Palacios, Fr, San Jacinto 

Physically advanced, good athlete, good reads in center field. Flat bat path, creates some carry. Like the player. Consistently putting the ball in play. Hopefully the power can level up. Aggressively smart base runner. Just the epitome of a gamer. Slashing .381/.480/.548 

TJ Stottlemyre, So, San Jacinto 

Right-hand hitting. Undersized but polished with a feel to hit. Really athletic. Could really pick it at SS. Has a chance to stick there defensively. Bat to ball has been impressive. Has slowly worked his way up a really strong lineup. Slashing .424/.524/.576 

Danati Fronduto, Fr, San Jacinto 

Left-hand hitter has been absolutely out of his mind to open the year. Ultra Physical. Good feel for the barrel. Lot of strength at contact, Initially worked LCF mostly, but has made some adjustments to get the air pull that was obviously in there. Bat to ball has been pretty exceptional for a guy his size. Pro body. Pretty high upside. Slashing .467/.581/1.133 

Ashton Peshke, Fr, San Jacinto 

Lanky frame, room to add. Very low 3/4 slot, borderline sidearm. Repertoire is going to be limiting but can be dominant two pitch mix. Fastball 88-91 (2200) with a ton of run. Slider 79-80 (2200) with sweep. Flashed changeup in warmup. Has pro reliever potential. 2.45 ERA in 7.1 IP. 10K 

Keegan Chavez, Fr, San Jacinto 

Towering frame. Good fill, maybe a chance to add a little more. Reliant on length, extra-long arm action into high 3/4 delivery. Fastball 89-91 (2000). Shorter curve 77-78. Changeup 82-83 (1600). Mixes stuff really well. Not overpowering but can really pitch. 0.57 ERA in 15.2 IP. 21 K 

Cohl McCoy, So, Seminole State (OK) 

Right-hand hitting. Smaller frame. Might be more room for muscle, but he's wiry. Plays with lot of energy. Good athlete but could probably get more if he transferred weight a bit more efficiently. Superb bat to ball ability. Other teams couldn't get him out. Biggest hang up: bit of a question mark defensively. Slashing .419/.500/.645 

Kade Davis, So, Temple 

Left-hand hitting. Probably the best JUCO player I’ve seen this spring, thus far. Buckets of loud contact. Not overly physical but fills out the frame well. Gets into his lower half super well. Explosive actions but makes it look very easy. Two-way player but should be an impact bat at the next level. Slashing .500/.593/.925

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...

Full BP & pregame I/O from ‘26 SS Keon Johnson. Whippy hands and lifted to the middle of the field throughout the rounds, athletic mover on the dirt & enough arm strength to stick on the left side. #4 in @PG_Georgia & #50 on the @PG_Draft Board. #PGHS @FPDVikingSports https://t.co/vYvReQKTVh pic.twitter.com/BksHJtA09X — Cam McElwaney (@CamMcElwaneyPG) February 20, 2026 Keon Johnson, SS, First Presbyterian Day Johnson has long been near the top of the 2026 rankings and it all culminated in being a PG All-American last August. He heads into the spring as one of the names to know in the upcoming MLB Draft and is drawing crowds to his high school in Macon. It’s a well-built 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame with good actions up the middle. The defensive acumen has continued to improve over the last few years and now looks comfortable at shortstop and even projects there...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 4

Nick Herfordt

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

Tyler Russo

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover. The event was littered with talent and these rankings reflect just that. St. John Bosco (CA) holds onto the first spot in this update and are being pushed by an IMG Academy (FL) team that’s 8-0 after winning the High School Showdown as well as beating two preseason top-10 teams in the first few weeks of the season. Orange Lutheran (CA) holds onto the No. 3 spot after a 1-0 start to the year and just a few weeks away from NHSI. A trio of Florida schools follow Olu in South Walton (FL), fresh off a win at the HS Showdown, Venice (FL), a surging team...

College Players of the Week: March 3

March 3 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Cider Canon, OF, Duke  The Duke Blue Devils (11-3) went through massive changes in the offseason, with a new coaching staff and heavy roster turnover like is often seen in the college game today.  That hasn’t held them back as they have kind of flown under the radar on their way to a tie for the most wins in the nation.  They won 4 out 5 games last week and Cider Canon was the driving force behind their offensive onslaught.  The 5-11/180 outfielder from San Marino, CA put together an incredible week collecting 9 hits in 14 at-bats, good for a .643 BA, scoring 7 runs, with 3 walks, 4 home runs and driving in a total of 10 runs.  After a successful couple years at Davidson College, Cider made the trip north to Durham and has fit right into the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense.  For the season, he is...

The Auburn signee drew the biggest crowd of MLB scouts in attendance as there were around 50 or 60 so lined up behind home plate on Friday morning.
