WWBA World Champ. Uncommitted: Hitters

Photo: Marcus Franco (Perfect Game)
With the changing of the recruiting landscape that was presented in 2020, Perfect Game wants to continue our efforts to provide a spotlight and platform for uncommitted players to showcase their talents. The WWBA World Championship is often a time where schools are able to find some late additions to their classes, discover a pop up prospect, or even add to a future class as there's a bevy of uncommitted underclass talent in attendance as well. Among the slew of uncommitted talent in attendance in Fort Myers, Jered Goodwin takes a look at 20 players who put together quality performances and should be on college coaches radar. 


Charlie Condon, 1B/3B,OF, Marietta, GA/Class of 2021
Condon came to Fort Myers and did what he has done all year, raked. He hit balls half way up the light pole in the WWBA Workout Showcase before the event. Then the right-handed hitter banged in Jupiter to a tune of a .444 average and .944 OPS. He just hits at every stop and still hasn’t tapped into what his body/swing is capable of doing.



Mateo Zeppieri, OF, New Market, ON/Class of 2021
Some Canada flavor in the next three prospects that stood out. Zeppieri only hit .533 with a couple of doubles and a triple in the most scouted event of the year. The frame looks right, and the bat-to-ball skills make you dream big. With seven runs scored and four RBI, the left-handed hitter can clearly change games in a hurry.

Glenn Noronha, OF, Mississauga, ON/Class of 2021
The smaller and twitchy centerfielder for the Ontario Blue Jays, Noronha did exactly what a disrupter should do. He scored eight runs, knocked in five, walked five times, and sprayed the ball around for a .400 average. The left-handed hitting centerfield Canadian could produce early at the next level.

Josiah Devapalan, 1B/3B, Brampton, ON/Class of 2021
The physically imposing 6-foot-1, 220 pound first baseman swung the stick all weekend at the WWBA World Championship. Devapalan hit .400 with a 1.171 OPS and has big power potential in his right-handed swing. He hit a couple of doubles and there is a lot of reason to believe he is just tapping into the extra base production.

Easton LaPlaca, C/OF, RHP, Naples, FL/Class of 2021
It’s curious why LaPlaca is still uncommitted. The 5-foot-10, 170 pound wiry framed left-handed hitting catcher is very athletic and clearly has his best days ahead of him. He hit in the middle of the order of the Power Baseball lineup that went to the finals of the WWBA. He has a patient approach, drawing five walks, and added a couple extra base hits. The seven RBI add to the overall profile that should be extremely attractive. UPDATE: Easton has since committed to High Point University.

Sean Sparling, OF/1B, Palm Coast, FL/Class of 2021
At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds Sparling just looks the part. Add the fact that he is a left-handed hitter with loose and long levers, he should be at the top of boards. The Scorpions Founders Club banger hit .385 and led the event with three home runs. He also had 11 RBI to solidify his run producing potential. There is massive upside in this late gem. UPDATE: Sean has since committed to Daytona State College.

Kaden Smith, C/1B, Reidsville, NC/Class of 2021
A .667 with a double and six RBI showing at the WWBA is a big statement. Smith also drew six walks to help his OPS profile. If he proves he is a long-term catcher, he should be an excellent addition to any class this late. The strong 6-foot-3, 205 pound frame is durable and should be able to handle the everyday grind.

Kohl Robertson, OF/1B, RHP, Land O’Lakes, FL/Class of 2021
Robertson has been in the middle of Hit Factory Pro line-ups for years. One of the programs that just wins, Robertson has a hand in all of it. On the biggest stage, he hit .538 with a double while notching a 1.154 OPS. He has some defensive versatility but needs to show he isn’t just a first baseman. Regardless, he is a tough kid and his offensive production speaks for itself. UPDATE: Kohl has since committed to Florida Southwestern State College.

Jorge Fragoso Jr., OF/LHP, East Point, GA/Class of 2021
Fragoso Jr. is a switch-hitter that has some twitch to his 5-foot-8, 160 pound frame. It was an incredible weekend as he hit .556 with a triple and a home run. He showed good timing with ability to create space with impact. Playing mostly in the corner outfield, if he can show ability to play centerfield the upside increases immensely.

Jake Rabe, SS/INF, Corpus Christi, TX/Class of 2021
A switch-hitting shortstop with a good 6-foot-1, 170 pound frame is not normally uncommitted. This is 2022 though, and he will have to continue to build on the arm strength. The bat though, is not a question. He his .375 with a triple at the WWBA and that offensive line is not any different from what Rabe seems to always produce.

Donovan McIntyre, OF/LHP, Richton Park, IL /Class of 2021
This is what a lead-off and centerfield prospect should look like. The 6-foot-1, 150 pound frame has room to fill but the quick wrists and range are showing up right now. McIntyre, a left-handed hitter, hit .333 at the WWBA while scoring six runs while trying to swipe bases every time he stepped on first base. He can make a pitcher uncomfortable in a hurry. UPDATE: Donovan has since committed to Kent State University.

Coby Wilkerson, 3B/1B, Monroe, GA/Class of 2021
A big and strong 6-foot-3, 195 pound frame, Wilkerson uses the strength well in his offensive game. He his .300 with a double and home run in Fort Myers. He helped Team Elite Prime make a run with his seven RBI and 1.263 OPS performance. He played mostly first base but has enough athleticism to develop at third.


Carter Allen, C/3B, Manvel, TX/Class of 2021
Allen just rakes. Every single stop, he puts up huge numbers and the WWBA was no different. The right-handed hitting catcher hit .417 with a double and a 1.033 OPS. It’s hard to think he is still uncommitted, with his consistent production he would  be committed in a normal year. He is polished offensively and seems to be a tough backstop.

Tommy Barth, OF/LHP, Brecksville, OH/Class of 2021
Barth isn’t the most physically imposing guy, but he did hit in the clean-up spot at the WWBA. The right-handed hitter (left-handed throwing) outfielder fashioned himself a great weekend hitting .385 with two triples. He was a steady run-producing force and stands out for his bat to ball skills. He has  a smaller frame but put up an over 1.000 OPS in Fort Myers.


Marcus Franco, 1B/RHP, Miramar, FL/Class of 2021
No surprise here, Franco blasted a couple balls in his last travel ball tournament. The country-strong 6-foot-4, 230 pound framed right-handed hitter blasted two homers at the WWBA. He is a true middle of the order producer but has a solid hit tool to go along with the profile. Franco hit .333 and consistently works deep into counts. The consistency should not be ignored.


Ivan Arias, SS/2B, Boston, MA/Class of 2022
Arias is exactly what you are looking for when trying to build a winning college team. He is tough, has instincts, can play in the middle, and hits at the top of the lineup. The 5-foot-8, 170 pound frame is of no concern, this kid can play! He worked five walks and scored six runs during the WWBA while grinding each at bat out and playing a great shortstop. Arias hit a bunch of non-hits on the barrel and is a “baseball player.”

AJ Nessler, 2B/UTL, Tampa, FL/Class of 2022
Nessler only played three games but did exactly what he has done all of 2020 during that short look. The left-handed hitter whacked it around the yard. A short look, but he hit .750 with some walks. This builds on a strong year in which he has hit .358 with a .983 OPS. Nessler is a strong kid and proving to be a tough at bat for opposing arms.

Frank Micallef, C/3B, RHP, Tampa, FL/Class of 2021
As consistent as it gets, Micallef continues to prove to pitching staffs that they can trust him. The 6-foot-1, 205 pound frame is strong and durable that can carry the load of a number one catcher at the next level. He also shows plenty of ability at the plate, hitting .333 with a triple at the WWBA. This output isn’t a surprise from the blue collar catcher.

LeTrey McCollum, OF/C, Murrieta, CA/Class of 2021
McCollum has a beautiful 6-foot-4, 175 pound frame to project. He is a smooth striding athlete with a matching fluid right-handed stroke. The production in Fort Myers was solid, hitting a double with a couple of walks. But the body, smooth athleticism and budding power potential will be enough to make him a huge late addition to a college class.

Bradke Lohry, SS, Trinity, FL/Class of 2021
Lohry continued to show why he should be one of the better uncommitted middle infield prospects in the country. He is sure-handed and a heady player. The right-handed hitter also contributed a .313 average, scoring five runs and stealing five bases. The shifty prospect with top of the order potential will find a role early at the next level.

13u Tourney All-American Team

What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort.  As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and...

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

2025 Year in Review: College

The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory. PG Second-Team All-American, Jared Jones was the heart of the lineup with his 20...

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back. Two Top-10 Picks in the MLB Draft Headline National Players of the Year It was another loaded crop that took home the National Players of the Year as both Ethan Holliday, the National Player of the Year, and Seth Hernandez, National Pitcher of the Year, heard their names called within the first-10 picks in the MLB Draft.

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino

The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...

Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026 Commitment: Bucknell Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach.

Huntington Beach HS World Series Recap

MVPitcher: Duncan McLeod The uncommitted junior toed the slab in three of the four games for Team Mick, tossing 3 2/3 innings.  Zero walks, zero hits and 6 punchouts for the lefty who was used both as a starter in the series clinching game 4 and he closed out game 3 on Friday in quick fashion.  McLeod was very efficient as well, needing just 42 pitches over all his outings.  In the game 4 start, over two innings he punched out 3, with one strikeout with all of his offerings.  The mid 80’s fastball regularly played up, set up with efficient use of the secondaries, with the breaking ball 73/74 and fading change-up 72-74.   Owen Bone (2026) at it again... Solo shot in the 5th to tie things up. Back to back days with a home run for Bone. #PGHS pic.twitter.com/2JC9qETI5h — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) December 13, 2025 MV Hitter: ...
