AAG Spotlight: Justice de Jong (NY, 2025)
August 3, 2024
Prep Baseball is taking the talent to South Beach.
After the successful launch of the inaugural Prep Baseball All-American Game in 2023, the second annual game is coming to Miami on Sept. 14 – and it promises to be bigger and better. One thing won’t change: The All-American Game will still feature the best high school baseball talent in the nation, with the top high school seniors taking on the best junior prospects to see which class reigns supreme.
The classes of 2025 and 2026 will face off on Saturday, Sept. 14 at loanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins. Both teams will participate in a workout day at the ballpark on Friday, Sept. 13, as part of a full weekend of activities.

In the lead-up to the first pitch in Miami, we'll be spotlighting each of the players joining us at the 2024 Prep Baseball All-American Game. Justice de Jong (Poly Prep, NY, 2025), Prep Baseball's top player in the state of New York is next.
Scouting Report
DeJong, a Duke recruit, was a standout late in the summer on the national scene where his two-way prowess applied pressure from all angles. The sturdy and athletic, 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-hander who will not turn 18 until after the Draft shows some power potential at the plate, but it is his polish and poise, along with big arm strength on the mound, that stand out most. Equipped with an advanced arsenal that includes sharp spin, de Jong has a chance to make even bigger jumps in coming months, especially given his hard-working and competitive mentality.
