POSITION PLAYERS

+ SS Cam Rakaczewski (Greencastle-Antrim, 2028) Not just one of the top overall performers for Team Pennsylvania but a top performer in the entire event. Rakaczewski is a 6-foot-1, 171-pound shortstop who led the entire event in infield velocity with a 95 mph throw from across the diamond. After throwing 95 mph and running a 6.85 sixty-yard dash, Cam put together one of the loudest and more impressive batting practice rounds of the entire event. He produced a max exit velocity of 101.3 mph and averaged 95.7 mph, showcasing raw power while maintaining a balanced and repeatable swing. Then into gameplay he recorded almost a half dozen hits including a double and triple to both the left and right center field gaps. In addition to his power, Cam seldom chased out of the zone or swung-and-missed at pitches in the strike zone. Rakaczewski displayed his explosiveness and game IQ on one of the biggest stages in the country. 

+ C Zachary Charneski (Scranton Prep, 2028) One of the two catchers brought to the PBFG25 to handle the fire power coming from Team Pennsylvania. Charneski not only held his own behind the plate, but he thrived back there displaying poise and leadership during gameplay. The 6-foot-1, 189-pound backstop measures as one of the larger backstops in the entire event and plays with fluid and athletic movements when blocking and receiving. Offensively, Charneski operates from a high leg kick where he rocks back into his rear leg and drives his backside through contact. His bat path works through contact well and generates considerable bat speed into contact. During gameplay he stacked multiple barrels and showed real adjustability in the box, driving baseballs to all fields with mature, in‑count adjustments and a controlled, competitive approach. A talented catcher out of the Keystone State to look into. 


+ 3B Michael Schaffer (Episcopal Academy) The Eastern Pennsylvania product was one of Team PA’s most productive and consistent bats down at Lakepoint. Schaffer produced quality at-bat after quality at-bat, worked the counts, produced hits and even his outs were loud. The 14th overall and top third baseman in Pennsylvania hits from a wide base setup, utilizing a back pocket turn to engage his lower half and generate elite power. On top of his standout gameplay performance, Schaffer was a work-out wonder as well, producing a 100.6 top exit velocity, a 94.2 mph average exit velocity with a 83 percent sweet-spot percentage. His barrel awareness and sweet-spot accuracy can be attributed to Schaffer’s repeatable and balanced swing, tight turn with not a lot of moving parts, keeping it simple and easy to repeat. 

TWO-WAYS

+ OF/RHP Jaden Freeze (South Western, 2028) A dynamic athlete who can produce exciting results on both sides of the field. Freeze started the Prep Baseball Future Games off hot with a 6.57 sixty-yard dash where he reached a peak sprint speed of 21.4 mph. Freeze was an offensive standout in the workout and gameplay portions where he produced a max exit velocity of 99.6 mph in the workout and collected 3 hits during the games. On top of his ability to produce with the bat, Freeze worked multiple walks where he displayed patience, zone awareness, and the ability to spoil borderline pitches. On the mound, as a two-way Freeze had 1 inning to showcase his arm talent and he came out firing. The primary outfielder let up zero runs on no hits and no walks allowed. His fastball peaked at 90 mph while sitting 87-89 mph with a zone percentage of 64 percent. Freeze flashed a high spin slider at 78-80 which was used as his out pitch where he induced weak contact. 

PITCHERS

+ LHP Greyson Bell (Daniel Boone, 2028)  One of the most highly touted prospects in the entire country is the 6-foot-2, 180-pound southpaw out of southeastern Berks County, PA. Bell was his typical self down in Lakepoint collecting in-zone swings-and-misses on his entire repertoire where he recorded 5 strikeouts. Known for his polished mechanics and mature composure on the mound, Bell plays the game well beyond his years. On the mound his fastball was up to 91.7 mph with over 2500 rpm of spin — the offspeed arsenal all tunnel off of his fastball creating deception and difficult swing decisions. His three different breaking pitches include a 77-79 mph curveball, 80-82 mph slider, and a 84-86 mph cutter. An elite arsenal to go alongside his elite command, up next is the All-American Game. 


+ RHP Carson Steingall (Nazareth Area, 2028) A 6-foot-3, 175-pound right-hander that moves down the mound with athleticism and the intent to blast a heater by the hitter. Down in Lakepoint in front of hundreds of coaches Steingall proved to be worthy of national recognition with the overall performance he put together showing his skillset, competitiveness, athleticism and composure. Metrically, he was 89-93.1 mph on the fastball with over 2600 rpm of spin and 21 inches of IVB giving it that extra life as it reaches the hitters. His out pitch was an 80-83 mph slider that showed late bite with over -16 inches of horizontal movement and 2500 rpm of spin, a true out pitch at the next level. The final pitch Steingall threw at the PBFG25 was a low spin changeup (81-82 mph, 1100 rpm of spin) that showed flashes of an elite changeup if he can land it consistently for strikes. 


+ RHP Dominic Lauletta (Plum, 2028) Recent Penn State commit, Lauletta was lights out at the PBFG25 where he flashed a firm fastball up to 91.2 mph with above average command around the strike zone. At 6-foot-1, 184-pounds Lauletta works downhill very efficiently where he is able to achieve high velocities and maintain those velocities throughout the outing. On top of his firm fastball he showcased a 79-81 mph slider with shorter horizontal movement that induced weak contact. Tunneling well off his fastball is his changeup where it approaches the hitter as a fastball with late movement that drops it under the zone resulting in missed barrels.  Amongst a stacked Pennsylvania pitching class, Lauletta made it known that he can hang with the best of them. 


+ LHP Cole Tucholski (Quakertown Community, 2028) A dynamic left-handed pitcher that works downhill with a fluidity and athleticism that catches everyone's attention. At a projectable and athletic frame of 6-foot-3, 195-pounds Tucholski is only just scratching the surface. At the PBFG25 he was at the top of his game with a swing-and-miss fastball, a curveball for early strikes and a new cutter which acted as his out pitch. From a 3 quarter slot with a loose, whippy arm action he generates a fastball up to 91 mph that sits 88-89 mph. With the addition of a cutter and the continued development of his breaking ball, Tucholski will continue to rise the ranks on the national circuit. 


+ RHP Ben Hinderberger (Council Rock North, 2028) The 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed pitcher is always a fun arm to watch take the mound. Hinderberger works slow and controlled on the mound and generates late arm acceleration with a late burst of energy that works around his strong lead leg block. During his outing he collected 4 strikeouts and 2 scoreless innings. He landed his 87-88 mph fastball for early strikes and put hitters away with a sweeper-like slider at 74-76 mph with over -17 inches of horizontal movement. Hinderberger has the foundation of an electric right-handed pitcher. 


+ RHP Owen Murphy (The Haverford School, 2028) The 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-hander was Team Pennsylvania’s premier power arm, touching a loud 93.5 mph and holding firm in the 89–92.6 mph range with over 2400 rpm and 18+ inches of IVB. Murphy paired the velocity with a composed, efficient outing, spinning two scoreless innings on just one hit and one walk. His three-pitch mix—a 76–78 mph slider and an 80–81 mph splitter alongside the heater—generated early-count swings and steady weak ground-ball contact. The long-levered frame adds natural downhill deception, hiding the baseball deep behind his torso before firing from a shorter arm action, creating an extra layer of difficulty for hitters already trying to catch up to his low‑90s fastball.
