+ Aden Bell
RHP · Hartfield Academy (MS) · Class of 2029 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Alabama Open: “Aden Bell established himself as one of the premier arms in attendance with a dominant outing that showcased both present stuff and long-term upside. The right-hander works with a calm, controlled operation before exploding down the mound, utilizing a quick arm and strong front side to generate impressive velocity. Bell's fastball touched 89 mph and held firm at 87-88 mph into the seventh inning, a testament to both his arm strength and endurance. He kept hitters from ever settling in by pairing the heater with a slider that featured sharp horizontal sweep and consistently generated swing-and-miss. The changeup became an effective weapon the third time through the lineup, adding another dimension to his arsenal and producing even more empty swings. Bell finished the day with an impressive 15 strikeouts while allowing no runs, cementing himself as a high-follow arm in Mississippi's 2029 class.” – Prep Baseball AL Scouting Staff

+ Caden Burns
LHP · The Pennington School (PA) · Class of 2027 · Delaware

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “The 6-foot-2, 205-pound rising senior put on a stellar performance during the 17U National Championship. Burns entered out of the 'pen going three innings and striking out every batter he faced. A nasty four pitch mix was utilized which looked unhittable. The fastball was 87-90 mph, topping out at 92, which was heavy generating a ton of whiff. Burns wasn't shy early going to the heater challenging hitters in the zone. He showcased two different breaking balls; a slider which sat 75-78 with sweeping action and a curve which sat 70-72. Burns showed the ability to backdoor the breaking ball to RHHs for strikes, also throwing backfoot slider producing uncomfortable swings. He also displayed a changeup which was 77 exclusively to RHHs. Burns showed electric stuff in relief living in the zone displaying excellent command, which really pushed his team to the win. Look for Burns to have a special senior year.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Tommy Driver
RHP · Ballston Spa HS (NY) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “The No. 1 prospect in New York’s 2028 class put the quad on notice at the 16U National Championship with an eye-popping showing. It starts with the uber-projectable, high-waisted 6-foot-5 frame that has barely started to develop physically while already showing body control for the long levers. Leading me to the stuff that Driver possesses is one of the highest level fastball/slider combos I've seen this summer regardless of class. Fastball was exploding out of the hand at 90-95 mph while running it up to 96 on a few occasions, but aside from the pure velocity, the metrics made it stand out that much more. Operating from a consistent sub 5-foot release height paired with an average of 20-plus inches of horizontal run and deceptive crossfire delivery that was creating havoc throughout the zone. Slider pairs extremely well at 78-82 mph with tight, late snap that has an aptitude to miss barrels while holding the same plane as the fastball at a high-level. Attacked the zone with confidence with the feel to expand whenever he needed swing-and-miss. It’s an advanced two-pitch combo already but that doesn’t scratch the surface on what it can become with the pitchability to develop a third offering that can push Driver among the best right-handers in the class. He'll be at the Prep Baseball All-American Game in a few weeks.” – Ian Smith, Georgia Asst. Director

+ Bairon Exline
RHP · Salem HS (OH) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the Great Lakes Program Invitational: “Exline tossed a special six-inning gem on Friday at GLPI, punching out 12 batters without allowing a run. Listed at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, he was up to 90 mph in the effort with feel for a sharp-spinning slider, 77-80. This was a breakout-type performance for the '28 prospect who eventually went on to represent Team Ohio at the Future Games this summer and he's currently ranked in the top-250 nationally.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ James Fenton
RHP · Metuchen HS (NJ) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Fenton would close out the week by putting together one of my favorite looks of the tournament. Pristine frame for the #1 in New Jersey’s 2028 class with immense projection remaining at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds with a high waist and plenty of room to grow. Deploys a low three-quarters slot from a clean, compact arm action that boasts immense arm speed and ability to repeat. Showed a high-level FB/SL combo in this outing with both offerings showing above-average or better upside at their ceilings. Fastball generates easy ride and run out of the hand at 88-92 with ability to generate whiffs whenever he needs it and much more velocity to project as he develops. Slider looks like a weapon already with the ability to hold the fastball plane forever paired with sharp, late bite that was creating in-zone whiffs at will at 78-80. Feel to spin shows already and the advanced feel takes it to another level. Changeup has shown in the past and continued development can help take this profile among the best RHP in the country within time.” – Ian Smith, Georgia Asst. Director

+ Russell Hengels
RHP · Maine South HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · UIC

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Hengels had a dominant summer for Cangelosi Sparks North, and he was a key reason his club made it to the 17U National Championship's title game. All in all, across nine innings at the tourney, Hengels led the event with 18 Ks while sitting 85-89 mph on a deceptive fastball that gets whiffs at the top of the zone. He committed to Illinois-Chicago shortly before the 17U Natty.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Sam Hubbard
LHP · Bulloch Academy (GA) · Class of 2027 · Georgia Southern

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Hubbard carved all summer long for East Cobb Astros, and he ended the season on a high note, with another 12 Ks in 5.2 innings at the 17U National Championship. There, he ran the fastball up to 89 mph from the left side, a steep, carry heater that gets whiffs, clearly. Hubbard allowed just eight hits in 22.1 innings this summer as he heads into his senior year.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Drew LeVasseur
LHP · Freeman HS (VA) · Class of 2027 · Richmond

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “In just 5.2 combined innings down at LakePoint, LeVasseur K'd 14 hitters while sitting in the mid-80s. He struck out five in a five-out relief appearance before he K'd another nine in four shutout innings a couple days later. He committed to Richmond at the start of August.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Quincy Lucas
RHP · St. Paul VI HS (VA) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, Lucas delivers the ball with some funk and ease that allows for his mid- to upper-80s fastball to get on hitters quickly. He actually led all pitchers at the 17U National Championship with 29 whiffs total, courtesy of a fastball that carried among the best at the event.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Liam Nash
RHP · Huntley HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Florida

From the 17 Amatuer Baseball Championships: “Nash was one of the more helium arms in the midwest this summer, as shown by his recent commitment to Florida. The fastball was making waves, routinely playing in the mid-90s and even creeping into the upper-90s. The arm-speed is electric while pairing with a firm bullet slider, making him one of the more dominant arms I saw all summer from a pure 'stuff' standpoint.” – Peter Hamot, Assistant Scouting Director, Illinois/Wisconsin

+ Zayden Peltz
RHP · Chandler HS (AZ) · Class of 2027 · Cal Poly

From the PBT Arizona Upperclass Summer Championships: “Peltz is an elite athlete on the mound with a fastball up to 94 mph at more than 2,600 rpm and a sharp slider that has reached 2,700+ rpm. He attended the Four Corners ProCase before turning in an electric outing at the Arizona Summer Championships, where he again reached 94 mph while showing improved command. His strong summer pushed him to No. 11 in Arizona and from nationally unranked to No. 178 nationally.” – RJ Elmore, Mountain West Operations Director

+ Jack Postma
RHP · Barrington HS (IL) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the 17U Amateur Baseball Championships: “Postma gave far and away one of the more impressive looks of the summer in an early morning slot at Grand Park. The 6-foot-5 right-hander was facing a strong Michigan Bulls club, made up entirely of players a year older than him. Despite all this, he went on to show one of the more dynamic fastballs in the class from his low release, playing up to 92 mph while holding 89-90 mph through four innings. This outing was just one of many that helped make him one of the buzzier names in Illinois this summer.” – Peter Hamot, Assistant Scouting Director, Illinois/Wisconsin

+ Jayden Starling
RHP · Colgan HS (VA) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “The 6-foot 154 pound righty went CG for the shutout with his stats for the start being 7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 12 Ks. Starling utilized a three-pitch mix that he could locate and tunnel each pitch off of each other throughout the whole start. His FB sat 82-85 while topping out at 86, and consisting of high spin rates that reached 2,550 rpm. His fastball almost rises through the zone, causing batters to swing-and-miss under the ball. He then showed a nice wipeout slider to pair with the firm fastball, that he could front- and back-door all game. The slider had a lot of horizontal movement through the zone which would miss the barrel for roll-overs or swings-and-misses. His final pitch was a nasty change that would just vanish off the heater. The changeup had a lot of vertical movement and lower spin rates that would make it almost disappear off the fastball. Throughout the outing the change was a good strikeout pitch to the batters because they would expect four-seamer and then swing over top of the change for the K.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Colton Williams
LHP · Millard West HS (NE) · Class of 2027 · Nebraska

From the PBT KC Summer Classic: “This incoming senior southpaw pitched a dominant six innings at the PBT KC Summer Classic in the early summer, and was uncommitted at the time. From a low 3/4 slot, Williams located a true five-pitch mix to all sides of the plate that resulted in 10 Ks and just one hit allowed, no runs. He sat 84-86 mph with run and low-80s with a more horizontal two-seamer, and he mixed in a change, slider, and curve as well.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Brody Bohannon
C · Sequoyah HS (GA) · Class of 2027 · East Tennessee State

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Bohannon had two at bats early on in the tournament that stood out, as well as some great defensive work behind the dish. The twitchy movement is seen in the stance and through the quick triggered cut. In his first AB, he went down out of the zone but still found a barrel for a 92 EV single into left field. Later, he worked a good AB as well, this time going for extra bases. He showed a really nice mid-pitch adjustment and kept the weight back well and deposited it into the oppo corner for a double. Behind the plate, base runners had to be careful as he got a back pick early on, and consistently smothered dirt balls. As Bohannon continues to show strides, he will be a fun catcher to stay tuned in on this summer and upcoming senior season.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Jaxson Czerniewski
C/OF · St. Dominic HS (MO) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the STL 16U National Championship: “Czerniewski started off white hot down in St. Louis this summer, going 8-for-8 right away, finishing 9-for-11, including a huge two-out, two-run base hit during bracket play. Physical 6-foot-2, 192-pound hitter with some defensive abilities at the hot corner as well. He went on to become a member of Team Select at this year's Future Games as well.” – Ryan Malzahn, STL Head of Tournament Scouting

+ Chris Worrell Jr.
C/INF · Oak Creek HS (WI) · Class of 2030 · Uncommitted

From the The Rock 15U Summer Championships: “Worrell Jr. earned places on our National Select Team lists a couple times this summer while playing up an age level. He slugged three more home runs at the 15U Summer Championships while spending time defensively behind the plate and at shortstop. He looks like one of the top 2030 prospects in the Midwest already. He finished 12-for-16 last weekend with three homers, two triples, and 13 RBIs.” – Andy Sroka, National Managing Editor, Scouting

+ Wyatt McDaniels
C · Mooreville HS (AL) · Class of 2027 · Pearl River CC

From the PBT Alabama Summer Championships: “Was one of the premier offensive performers of the weekend, playing a major role in Easley Baseball capturing the championship. The Pearl River CC signee showcased his impact bat by driving the baseball with authority to all fields, launching multiple home runs while consistently producing loud contact throughout the event. A physical, power-hitting catcher, McDaniels repeatedly found the barrel and proved to be a difficult out, stringing together quality at-bats and applying pressure on opposing pitchers from start to finish. His combination of present strength, mature offensive approach, and ability to change the game with one swing made him one of the most dangerous hitters in attendance.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Xavier Rodriguez
C · Archer HS (GA) · Class of 2029 · Uncommitted

From the National Program Invitational: “Rodriguez is the top-ranked '29 in the state of Georgia and one of the top-ranked catchers in the country. Down at NPI, Rodriguez slugged two home runs among his eight total hits for ProStock Baseball Club. He really just showed out all summer long and continued to play like the No. 1-ranked player in a state like Georgia.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Evan Adamczewski
1B/OF · Maine South HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Northern Illinois

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Adamczewski helped steer Cangelosi Sparks North all the way to a runner-up finish at the 17U National Champs at LakePoint at the end of the summer. There, he recorded 15 hits, which led the tourney, and it's a left-handed swing that our Illinois staff is very much used to. He was the MVP of the 2024 Illinois State Games and he also went on to elevate his high school to a second place finish at state this past spring, too.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Landon Beckman
1B/OF · Normal University HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Beckman uses his big stature to leverage lifted high fly balls over the fence to all fields. At LakePoint to close the summer, he tallied four homers for Rhinos/K's squad and he was also a standout at the Illinois State Games at the beginning of August. He's one of the most powerful uncommitted LHHs on this list.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Sage Bennett
MIF · Boaz HS (AL) · Class of 2027 · Snead State CC

From the PBT Alabama Summer Championships: “Quickly became one of the more intriguing players to watch over the weekend with the way he impacted the game on both sides of the ball. At the plate, Bennett consistently put together quality at-bats, swinging the bat with confidence while applying pressure on opposing defenses with his aggressive baserunning and above-average speed. Defensively, he was especially impressive at shortstop, showcasing smooth, crafty footwork, athletic actions, and the ability to make plays from multiple angles. His arm strength and overall defensive instincts stood out throughout the event, making him a reliable presence up the middle. Bennett's combination of athleticism, defensive polish, and offensive upside makes him a player worth following moving forward.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Jaxon Foust
SS/RHP · North Paulding HS (GA) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Foust kept on hitting and hitting this tournament. With a BA of .600 and an OPS of just under 2.000, Foust is clearly doing something right. Foust put on a hitting clinic throughout the tournament and he also had three straight games where he had two hits or more. In his game Monday, he had two doubles and that is only two XBHs of the other four he had, including a home run. He has an innate barrel feel and PS juice out front with a quick trigger. With a controlled load, he sees the ball out of the hand well and works gap to gap driving the ball in an all fields approach. He is also a dynamic playmaker on the bases with a high ceiling. Foust is an exciting player to watch because he is advanced in many parts of his game and a very toolsy player with more to come.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Kai Gantt
SS/2B · Queen Creek HS (AZ) · Class of 2029 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Arizona Upperclass Summer Championships: “Was an immediate standout while playing up an age group at the Arizona Summer Championships and continued to impress at the PBT West Cup. Went 4-for-4 with two hits from each side of the plate in one game and consistently found the barrel throughout the weekend. The switch-hitting MIF plays with confidence from both sides, showing feel to use the entire field while bringing consistent, upbeat energy. His performances this summer quickly made him a must-watch prospect for our staff moving forward.” – RJ Elmore, Mountain West Operations Director

+ Ken Shelton III
MIF · Hartfield Academy (AL) · Class of 2030 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Alabama Open: “Was one of the top performers of the weekend, consistently finding the barrel and producing quality contact throughout the event. The 2030 prospect showed an advanced offensive approach for his age, working the baseball to all fields while displaying impressive barrel control and feel for contact. Defensively, Shelton stood out as an athletic mover up the middle, showcasing smooth actions, quality range, and a strong arm across the infield. His combination of athleticism, defensive versatility, and offensive production makes him one of the more intriguing young prospects to follow as he continues to develop.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Noah Isensee
INF · James Clemens HS (AL) · Class of 2030 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Alabama Summer Championships: “Emerged as one of the more impressive young prospects at the event, showcasing the traits of a true five-tool player despite being only a rising freshman. The 2030 shortstop put together a productive weekend, collecting multiple extra-base hits while consistently impacting the game on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Isensee displayed smooth actions, athletic footwork, and the instincts to handle the shortstop position at a high level. His athleticism, projectable frame, and overall skill set leave plenty of room for future development, making his ceiling especially intriguing. Already proving he can compete against quality competition, Isensee looks like a strong early candidate to watch for future Junior Future Games consideration.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Jagger Jackson
1B · Savannah HS (MO) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the KC Super 16: “One of the best right-handed hitters in the state, Jagger proved it this summer at our tournaments and carried that performance all the way into the Future Games. He hit .444 with a 1.212 OPS and three home runs this summer while competing at some of the top events in the country. He is one of the more reliable bats you can find, with a special joy for the game that is highlighted by a very professional approach at the plate.” – Ryan Malzahn, STL Head of Tournament Scouting [Flag: previously featured as an honorable mention on the June 18-22 team.]

+ Christopher Knelly
SS · Hazelton Area HS (PA) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the Northeast Invite: “The No. 55-ranked prospect in Pennsylvania is on the rise after a huge Northeast Invite. He brought home the 16U MVP award with his impact at the plate hitting .500 across four games with four doubles, a triple, and a walk-off HR to secure the championship. Knelly is a strong, athletic 5-foot-6, 160-pound prospect with power to all fields. At the plate, he works from a quiet, balanced setup and utilizes a short stride during his load, allowing him to get on time and handle velocity with ease. His compact swing features an efficient uphill path that enables him to drive the baseball from gap to gap. Defensively, Knelly shows smooth, reliable hands with above-average arm strength on the left side of the infield, projecting well at any middle infield position.” – Matthew Laurentino, Northeast Regional Scout

+ Landon Meisenbacher
SS · Pleasant Plains HS (IL) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the STL 16U National Championship: “Maisenbacher had a monster weekend at the plate. He went 14-for-20 and scored 11 runs, setting the tone at the top of the order for GBA. He has a very relaxed setup and very good rhythm in his swing. He is very short to the baseball, which allows him to be on the barrel consistently. I expect Landon to keep developing and adding more extra-base hits to his already impressive stat lines.” – Ryan Malzahn, STL Head of Tournament Scouting

+ Hudson Snell
1B · Collierville HS (TN) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Tennessee Open: “One of the best uncommitted power bats in the senior class. Hudson showed up in multiple events showing real pop to both gaps. Very unique player in that he is a power guy but has little swing and miss. Stands at 6'4 220 lbs and runs a 7.2 60 with 100 plus exit velocity. Carried multiple games as the middle of the order for a good Beast National team.” – Chad Biles, Mid-South Scout

+ Gavin Stanislawski
3B/OF · Brother Rice HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Wright State

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Stanislawski has monster tools, notably a powerful right-handed bat, and he creates easy game power with it. He launched four home runs during the 17U National Championship, one at 103 mph EV. He capped the summer representing himself and his home state for Team Heartland at the 2026 Senior Future Games and he committed to Wright State shortly after.” – PBT Scouting Staff

He capped his summer with an invite to Team South East at the 2026 Future Games.” – Rocco Iervasi, Florida Director of Operations

+ Tommy Travers
3B · Independence HS (TN) · Class of 2028 · Georgia Tech

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Travers woke up on bracket play all over the barrel as he went a perfect 3-for-3 at the dish, showing a great ability to hit the ball to all fields. His first AB was early damage as he put together a tough AB and won it with a backspin liner into the gap at 90.6 mph EV for the RBI double. He later showed two more good pieces of hitting as he collected a single into center and through the pull-side hole (95 EV). He wound up leading the event with 16 hits en route to the championship. He repped Tennessee at the Future Games shortly after this tourney and he's since committed to Georgia Tech.” – PBT Scouting Staff

MIF · Arlington HS (TN) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Tennessee Open: “An unknown 2027 coming into the summer. Luke came to a showcase and ran a 6.64, 90 mph across the infield and 98 mph EV. In game play at the tournament the following week. Luke went 2-3 with a double and a triple with 3 RBI's. Luke is a big, athletic infielder that has real power potential. A steal for whoever snatches him up.” – Chad Biles, Mid-South Scout

+ Caleb Williams
3B · Archbishop Moeller HS (OH) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Before representing Ohio at the 2026 Future Games, Williams thrived again at LakePoint during the 16U National Championship where he collected 12 hits (7 XBH), including two homers. His right-handed swing has a huge offensive ceiling, with bat speed and strength on display at many moments down in Georgia.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Brady Yates
3B · Glendale HS (MO) · Class of 2027 · Missouri State

From the STL 17U Summer Championships: “Ranked inside the top-100 nationally, Yates exploded on Monday down in Edwardsville, Ill., where he tallied 10 total bases and launched two homers in the same ballgame, producing four RBIs. He was the No. 1-ranked player in Missouri's incoming senior class then, and he still is today after yet another strong summer.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Parker Brann
OF · Flower Mound HS (TX) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the Texas Program Invitational: “Brann went 11-for-16 at the TPI to help lead USA Prime DFW Red to the 16U championship. Brann did not strike out last weekend, doubled twice, and led the team with five RBIs as well.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Austin Brown
OF · Wasatch HS (UT) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the National Program Invitational: “The 6-foot-2, 220-pound left-handed slugger makes putting the ball over the fence look easy. He slugged two homers at NPI, both in the same game and to different parts of the field. His backside homer left the bat at 97 mph EV and he went down to get it beneath the zone, and he pulled another that traveled over 400 feet at 101 EV. Utah has an historically strong Class of 2028 in its backyard, and Brown is the No. 3-ranked player among them, as it stands.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Logan Chaix
OF · Weatherford HS (TX) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Chaix finished the tournament 5-for-8, with every hit going for extra bases while driving in four runs. He consistently showed the ability to turn balls into the gaps into doubles and even stretched a shallow hit into extra bases with aggressive yet controlled baserunning. Hitting leadoff throughout the tournament, Chaix controlled the strike zone well, drawing seven walks while striking out only once. He did much more than simply set the table at the top of the lineup, consistently creating offensive opportunities. He also added three stolen bases, showing quality athleticism and baserunning instincts throughout the week.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Noah Goettke
OF · P27 Academy (OH) · Class of 2027 · Ohio State

From the National Program Invitational: “Goettke exploded in his first game at NPI for Indiana Bulls Black, going 3-for-5 with a walk-off grand slam that traveled nearly 400 feet, leaving the bat at 101 mph EV, which was his second triple-digit EV of the ballgame.

OF · Marian Catholic HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the The Big Ro: “Jazarris was another buzzy name from the Illinois crop this summer, showing off advanced raw power and athleticism numerous times in front of our staff. The swing is clean with bat-speed and control of the barrel, showing the ability to lift the baseball with ease to the big parts of the field. He will be a name to follow closely as he's one of the top uncommitted names in Illinois.” – Peter Hamot, Assistant Scouting Director, Illinois/Wisconsin

+ Langston Leigh
OF · Albuquerque Academy (NM) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Arizona Upperclass Summer Championships: “A 6-foot-1, 175-pound athlete who immediately caught our staff’s attention with a no-doubt home run at the Arizona Summer Championships. Aggressive approach at the plate with real impact potential as he keeps adding strength. He continued to trend upward at the Albuquerque Summer ID on August 23, backing up that in-game look with exit velocities above 104 mph and a 60-yard dash in the 6.7s.” – RJ Elmore, Mountain West Operations Director

+ Maddox Sedlacek
OF · White Pine HS (NV) · Class of 2027 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Florida Open: “Maddox Sedlacek had an outstanding weekend offensively. The 6'2" outfielder had three home runs and posted a .538 AVG. He scored five times, driving in five runs as well.” – Jacob Zanolla, Journalism/Baseball Ops

+ Leyton West
OF · Hartselle HS (AL) · Class of 2030 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Alabama Open: “Is an impressive young prospect who already possesses a strong, physical 6-foot, 167-pound frame and a mature offensive skill set for his age. The left-handed hitter showed present impact at the plate throughout the weekend, producing low-90s exit velocities and flashing power potential to all fields. West put that strength on display during Saturday's action, collecting a pair of triples while consistently driving the baseball with authority. He works with a slightly uphill path through the zone and shows natural feel for the barrel, allowing him to create quality contact and extra-base damage. With his combination of physicality, bat speed, and offensive upside, West is a 2030 prospect who continues to stand out among his peers.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Derrik Beckstrand
RHP/1B · Elkhorn Area HS (WI) · Class of 2027 · Ohio

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Beckstrand blossomed into one of the best two-way talents in the Midwest this summer, going 6-for-12 down at LakePoint with few whiffs from the left side, and three of his six hits were doubles. Beckstrand is listed at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, and he swings a simple and on-plane lefty bat that allows him to land barrels consistently. He's a tough at-bat and he takes his walks, too. Beckstrand's ceiling is at least equally high on the mound where he sits in the upper-80s on a rise/run heater, and he knows how to throw an effective sweeper, too. He starred at the Senior Future Games for Team Heartland and eventually the Wisconsin State Games in August.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Trent Buckley
1B/RHP · Columbia Academy (AL) · Class of 2027 · Ole Miss

From the PBT Alabama Summer Championships: “Was another major catalyst in Easley Baseball's championship run at the Alabama Summer Championships, anchoring the middle of the lineup with his imposing presence and middle-of-the-order power. The Ole Miss recruit consistently produced loud barrels throughout the weekend, showing the ability to drive the baseball with authority to all fields while providing run-producing at-bats in key situations. Standing at a physical 6-foot-5, 218 pounds, Buckley possesses a prototype power frame with significant strength and leverage at the plate. In addition to his offensive impact, he also offers intriguing two-way value as a power right-handed arm, making him one of the more complete prospects in attendance.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Bear Calvo
SS/RHP · Orange Lutheran HS (CA) · Class of 2027 · Arkansas

From the National Program Invitational: “The OLu incoming senior lifted off at NPI, leading the tourney with three home runs and 11 RBIs offensively.

He also had two hits in Complete Game Orlando's first three ballgames, showing his promise as a two-way. Farlow is one of the top-ranked players in Georgia's 2028 class, now ranked inside the top-100 in the nation.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Wyatt Gordon
RHP/C · Charleston HS (IL) · Class of 2027 · Eastern Illinois

From the Illinois Open: “Gordon was Illinois' first breakout player of the summer after exploding on both sides of the ball in Rantoul. He was 87-90 mph on the mound while spinning a 2,700-plus rpm breaking ball. He K'd 10 in six frames and allowed just one unearned run on three hits, three walks. But then offensively, Gordon collected eight hits and six RBIs, four of which came on a grand slam on the first day of the tournament. He went on to commit to EIU before the summer was done.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Daniel House
OF/LHP · Stone Bridge HS (VA) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “House was a strong look throughout the tournament, at 5-foot-7, 155-pound frame with a simple approach and the ability to impact the baseball from the left side. He showed quality barrel feel, and kept great extension through the zone. In one game almost hit for the cycle with a double, triple, and a homerun to tie a bracket play game with consistent ability to drive the ball with intent. The ball was jumping off the barrel as he hit over 95 mph exit velocity multiple times. House also looked comfortable in the outfield and had reliable reads and the ability to cover ground. He was second in the tourney with 15 hits, tied for first with seven extra-base hits.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Caleb McAusland
RHP/3B · American Christian Academy (AL) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “While playing up for his travel team at the 17U National Championship, McAusland showed some of the best stuff at the tourney, generating whiffs at a higher clip than just about any other arm at the event. He backspins a mid-80s fastball efficiently and with carry, and he knows how to spin a breaking ball, flashing over 2,700 rpm at times. A top-25-ranked junior in Alabama, McAusland is also a prospect positionally as well.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Lawson Moore
LHP/1B · Gatewood HS (GA) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the National Program Invitational: “Over two outings at NPI, Moore punched out 12 batters over 7.1 innings and allowed no runs on three hits, two walks, with 12 Ks. During bracket play, the southpaw K'd nine in six shutout innings to advance Arizona Diamondbacks Scout Team in an elimination game. The 6-foot, 215-pound prospect was 86-89 mph with two different breaking balls and he's one of the top left-handers in his home state's 2028 class and he showed off one of the best fastballs of this year's Future Games for Team Georgia.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Andrew Oppenheimer
OF/LHP · Beavercreek HS (OH) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the Great Lakes Program Invitational: “After earning a place on the OHSBCA first team, all-state roster as a sophomore this past spring for Beavercreek, Oppenheimer hadn't skipped a beat this summer. At the GLPI, he opened the tourney with four extra-base hits in his first two games: a homer, two triples, and a double. Big bat speed in a right-handed swing that helps him generate loud barrels at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds. In late July, Oppenheimer represented Team Ohio at the Future Games too.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Sam Ridley
OF/LHP · Tuscaloosa County HS (AL) · Class of 2029 · Uncommitted

From the PBT Alabama Open: “Turned in a strong all-around performance as one of the top two-way players at the event. At the plate, the 2029 prospect showed a mature approach, consistently producing loud contact, highlighted by a home run to straightaway center field. His tall, athletic frame and ability to drive the ball to all fields stood out throughout the weekend. On the mound, the left-hander worked with a three-pitch mix, sitting 83-85 mph and topping at 86 with the fastball while showing feel for both a 70-73 mph slider and a 68-70 mph changeup. Ridley displayed the ability to throw all three pitches for strikes and projects as an intriguing two-way follow in the 2029 class.” – Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

+ Kellan Rozgay
LHP/OF · Omaha Westview HS (NE) · Class of 2030 · Uncommitted

From the PBT KC Summer Classic: “Rozgay was among the most productive 2030s that appeared at the KC Summer Classic. Through five games for Millard United, he went 9-for-11 with no Ks and his left-handed swing looks geared for regular, repeat contact. He's also been 81 mph on the mound where his future is also bright as a southpaw.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Brennan Ryan
LHP/OF · Plum HS (PA) · Class of 2027 · Akron

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Ryan was one of the better two-ways at the 17U National Championship, though he really shined on the mound during this tourney. Sitting 87-89 mph, Ryan earned 24 whiffs total from the left side, and 23 of them were on his impressive fastball that features both carry and hard arm-side life.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Xander Toler
RHP/1B · Waverly HS (OH) · Class of 2029 · Uncommitted

From the Great Lakes Program Invitational: “Toler is built at an imposing 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, and he led BJES on both sides of the ball over the weekend. The '29 is one of the top-ranked members of his class in Ohio, and he's earned attention so far for his advanced velo, up to 89 mph last weekend with nine Ks in five innings. Naturally, for a player his size, Toler is also able to clobber balls over the fence and he connected for three home runs at the GLPI, too.” – Connor Holdren, Ohio Tournament Director

+ Sammy Vovak
RHP/3B · St. Xavier HS (OH) · Class of 2028 · Uncommitted

From the PBT 16U National Championship: “Vovak put together one of the most impressive performances throughout the tournament. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound RHP struck out 14 over six innings, showing an advanced feel for pitching. He attacked the zone with an 86-88 mph fastball, consistently mixed in a 69-71 mph curveball, and showed confidence throwing his 74-76 mph changeup in any count. The way he sequenced all three pitches kept hitters off-balance, generating many swings and misses throughout the outing while rarely allowing them to get comfortable in the box. At the plate, Vovak was just as impressive, finishing a perfect 5-for-5 with two doubles. He consistently found the barrel and showed the ability to drive the baseball with authority, adding to an impressive all-around performance.” – PBT Scouting Staff

+ Ryan Younglas
3B/RHP · Keystone HS (OH) · Class of 2027 · Toledo

From the PBT 17U National Championship: “Toledo commit Younglas finished the tournament 9-for-19 with a double, triple, and a walk-off RBI single that capped a three-hit performance and sent his team into bracket play. He consistently showed quality barrel control throughout the week, utilizing all fields while staying balanced through contact. Younglas also produced a 104.9 mph exit velocity single, continuing to show his ability to impact the baseball while remaining under control in the box. He also showed quality adjustability when the defense shifted after his loud single. Rather than trying to do too much, Younglas stayed with his approach, found the gap, and turned the next opportunity into a triple.” – PBT Scouting Staff
