Peter
Corthinos

An intriguing young prospect from Saturday’s event is C/INF Peter Corthinos (Maine South, 2026). The 5-foot-7, 160-pound catcher/infielder is athletically built throughout his frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter works with a fluid stroke that creates extension through contact, staying flat through the zone with looseness and the ability to repeat his swing. He put together one of the best defensive rounds behind the plate on the day, working with a quick/clean transfer and directional footwork out of the crouch to produce a pop-time as low as 2.07 seconds (T71 mph). He also showed well on the infield, showcasing quick/athletic footwork that plays through the ball to pair with steady hands and a quick arm (T79 mph). 

C/INF Peter Corthinos (Maine South) is a 2026 who made a name for himself at the event. Listed at 5-foot-5, 140-pounds, Corthinos has a highly-repeatable, athletic right-handed swing that should only continue to ascend as he matures and adds strength over the next few years. His bat stays on-plane, through the zone a long time and finishes on balance. Defensively, he is bouncy and athletic behind the plate, playing quick and efficiently with a strong arm for his age that topped at 73 mph and pop times between 2.11-2.18.
