PG Invitational Quick Hits

Perfect Game Tournament Staff
Greg Gerard



Tommy Roldan (2023, Poolesville, Md.) was masterful on Saturday morning for US Elite as he threw 6 innings of one hit ball with 8 strikeouts. It was not just the stat line that was intriguing for Roldan as his 6-foot-1 frame oozes projection and his clean arm and easy delivery project for plenty more velocity as he matures. The lefthander topped out at 81 mph with his fastball and showed advanced feel for three pitches.




Kyle Crow (2023, Linden, Mich.) faced off with Roldan in the pitching matchup of the tournament. He was held to just 20 pitches on Saturday but what he showed was excellent velocity for his age along with a tall and projectable frame. The righthander topped out at 84 mph while sitting in the low-80s consistently from his loose arm action.

Cooper Milford (2023, Cumming, Ga.) is another tall and athletic pitcher with already impressive velocity for his age. He topped out at 82 mph on Saturday with a loose and online delivery with life to his fastball. There is a lot to like for the righthander from Georgia and he will be an interesting pitcher to follow for Team Georgia as he continues to mature.

Jack Brafa (2023, Medina, Tenn.) was at the 14u Southeast Showcase last weekend and was impressive on the mound and was extremely dominant during the 14u PG Invitational. Brafa has upper-70s velocity with the ability to maintain it well. He throws lots of strikes and commands the zone well like in this game where he pitched five innings with four strikeouts and no walks.

Cooper Pratt (2023, Oxford, Miss.) is a slick defender in the middle infielder for BPA who was able to showcase his actions over the weekend along with his smooth swing at the plate. Pratt made the trip from Mississippi to Georgia and was very impressive in his second Perfect Game event.

Matt Fox (2023, Huntington Beach, Calif.) may have traveled the farthest of any player in the event coming all the way from California but the lanky primary shortstop showed lots of projection on the mound over the weekend. Fox is listed at 6-foot, 145-pounds and appears even taller than that creating a steep downhill plane on his fastball that ranged from 75-77 mph. He throws really easy with proper lower half drive down the mound and advanced feel for a 12-to-6 curveball.

Keondre Fields (2023, Nesbit, Miss.) is a physically advanced athlete who was outstanding with the bat on Saturday ripping a pair of doubles and also featuring a fastball up to 82 mph on the mound. A strong 6-foot, 170-pound frame and a high leg kick allows for Fields to create big-time raw bat speed for his age and a swing that has potential power in the future.

Justice Haynes (2023, Alpharetta/Burford, Ga.), the son of former NFL player Verron Haynes, was one of the most versatile prospects from the weekend. He showcased great athleticism in the outfield with great first-step instincts. He also showed his arm strength on the mound with a fluid, easy arm action as his fastball sat in the mid-80s.  The lefty worked down in the zone all afternoon and consistently hit his spots. Haynes also impressed at the plate with multiple hits this weekend. Displaying great speed on the basepaths, he also caused problems for opposing defenses.

Dylan Lonergan (2023, Duluth, Ga.) w as a dominant physical presence this weekend. His build is mature with room to grow. He impressed both on the mound and at the plate. The righthand pitcher sat in the mid to upper-80s with a couple fastballs topping out at 88 mph. He boasts a big leg kick with downhill plane to the plate from an over-the-top delivery. Not only did he produce on the mound, he showed power at the plate, driving in multiple runs during the weekend.

Tyler Shelton (2023, Kingston, Ga.) impressed all weekend as a utility-type player. He flashed solid instincts in the middle infield with a great first step, attacking the baseball at all times. He came up clutch in bracket play with a three-run double late in the game. His presence at the plate was confident and he carried that onto the mound. Showcasing an upper-70s to low-80s fastball with some arm-side run. His curveball was his strikeout pitch with big 12-to-6 bite. He constantly was around the zone and was not afraid to work both corners of the plate.

Dalton Kuhn (2022, Tallahassee, Fla.) was a great defensive catcher with a solid skill-set. He received the ball well, was stealing strikes for his pitchers and showed off low 2.0-second pop times. He back-picked a runner and threw out two running within a few innings late in bracket play. He also proved to be tough out at the plate with some power behind him. Kuhn proved to be a true power-hitting catcher this weekend.

Carlos Elian Martinez (2022, Coamo, Puerto Rico) offers a big lefthanded presence on the diamond. The tall, strong figure showed his dominance at the plate as the smooth swinging lefty uses all fields and showed big power with multiple extra-base hits late into bracket play. He also showed off his defensive skill-set in the outfield with an outstanding arm and great reads. He oozed confidence in all aspects of the game this weekend.

Nicolas Perez (2022, Isabella, Puerto Rico) proved to be one of the top defenders from the weekend. He showed off the leather with great footwork beneath him. His arm showed to be elite for his age making multiple plays up the middle and in the hole. His defensive presence was not all he had to show as he proved to be worthy at the plate. He showed an open stance with high hands looking to drive the baseball. Perez racked up multiple RBIs this weekend and proved to be a dominant presence.

Riley Jackson (2023, Melbourne, Fla.) showcased a strong frame behind the plate. His defensive skill-set was beyond his years while showing off a great arm with a low 2.0-second pop time.  This gritty catcher also proved to be an offensive threat with big power. He showed off that power with a big home run late in bracket play. He had a relaxed, open stance allowing his hands to get thru the baseball. All in all, Jackson proved to be a true power-hitting catcher.

LSU Reloads & Returns; Opens No. 1

“How do you get to success? You have to honor the process that you built to get to that success…The standard is how we operate, train, and get better each day.”” Process-oriented leadership is a popular coaching strategy here in the mid-2020s but no one exemplifies that more than LSU head coach Jay Johnson. He’s won the Tigers two national titles during his time in Baton Rouge and expectations won’t be any lower in 2026 as LSU is the No. 1 team in the country in Perfect Game’s Preseason Top 25.  Johnson is heading into his fifth season at the helm in Baton Rouge and it’s fair to say that he has already experienced enormous success. There have been two national titles in four years (2023, 2025), a Golden Spikes winner (Dylan Crews, 2023), a first overall MLB Draft pick (Paul Skenes, 2023), and five first-round MLB Draft picks during...

Vincent Cervino

With an interesting and action-packed fall behind us, a new college season is just around the corner. The college game continues to prove it is alive and well as the Division 1 team count has now ballooned to 308 teams for the 2026 season. With new legislation allowing teams 5-weeks to prepare for opening day, many student athletes have returned to campus and will begin skill related workouts soon. Opening Day, as usual, will fall on Valentine’s Day weekend and it is just six weeks away. After a fall of evaluation and months of research and discussion, we are ready to release our annual Perfect Game pre-season Top 25 poll. After winning 53-games, hosting the NCAA Regional and Super Region, and sweeping their way through the College World, the LSU Tigers will debut the 2026 season as our No.1 ranked team.

The transfer portal, JUCO gems, 6th year waivers and impact freshman; following the college game and figuring out rosters is basically a fulltime job nowadays.

Griffin Boesen (‘27, IA) shoots this one backside down the line. Adds his second hit of the day. Picked up a base knock. Physical LH bat w/ an ability to drive the baseball here. @IowaPG @PG_Uncommitted @CanesMidwest #WWBAWorlds https://t.co/pmpIzaAbLz pic.twitter.com/Qz0CHiS3P1 — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) October 13, 2025 Griffin Boesen, Class of 2027 Commitment: Duke Another top 100 prospect is off the board as the Corey Muscara led Duke Blue Devils picked up a physical two-way prospect in Boesen out of Florida recently. At 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, Boesen looks the part of a middle of the order type slugger and he's just that, showing lots of looseness and bat speed in his left-handed stroke and is coming off a Jupiter where he hit .700 (!!) as an underclassman while driving in 10 runs. The bat-to-ball skills are obvious as he simply hit at all the big stops in 2025,...

That's just absolutely insane.

Samir Mohammed up to 97 mph on the mound, Bryce Fontenot with a max exit velocity of 103 mph and a 6.22 60-yard out of Dylan Seward are all otherworldly numbers that you'd expect to find on a college campus, much less a junior in high school.  Below we check in on several categories for the Class of 2027 and will continue to do so through the week, taking in the top 10 for each, from both Perfect Game showcases and tournaments.  Top Fastball Velocity Rk Player FB Event Commitment School Hometown 1 Samir Mohammed 97 2025 PG WWBA World Championship Louisiana State Tampa Jesuit Trinity, FL 2 Connor Salerno 96 2025 PG WWBA World Championship Mississippi State Sun Valley Indian Trail, NC...

MLB Mock Draft: January 9

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
As we turn the calendar to 2026, we move one step closer to draft day. With the lottery behind us and the order now set, we wanted to take one final stab at a preseason mock draft before players take the field. The talent at the top of this class stands out and feels as deep as it has been in quite some time. There is solid depth in the first round, with real value extending later into the round. While things are certain to shift once the season gets underway, this is how we see things going for now.  1.  Chicago White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA The White Sox come away with one of the most polished profiles in the class and one of the better draft prospects we’ve seen in a while. Cholowsky gives Chicago a high-level college shortstop with a refined offensive approach, quality in-game power, and advanced defensive actions. There’s a strong blend of floor and...
