WWBA Soph. Uncommitted Names Part 1

Photo: Derek Curiel (Perfect Game)
The WWBA Sophomore World Championship is set to begin year five this upcoming weekend as Fort Myers, Fla. will once again become the epicenter of the amateur baseball world as players and college recruiters alike from across the nation will descend upon Southwest Florida. National Scouting Director Jered Goodwin takes a deeper dive into the uncommitted players who'll be in attendance, first looking at 20 players ranked within the top-500 before his next installment, which will take a deeper dive into the back end of the rankings with some uncovered gems. Follow along all weekend as our scouts will continue to provide top-of-the-industry coverage just as they have all spring and summer. 


Derek Curiel (2024, West Covina, Calif.) is uncommitted at the moment but also possesses some of the easiest and fluid actions in the class, with massive potential in the bat. As he matures he could stay as a disruptor at the top or start to slide to the middle of the order as a run producer. His prowess in center field could be come elite as he continues to develop physically. 



Theodore Gillen (2024, Austin, Texas) has a tremendous combination of size, athleticism, and speed. The glove and actions fit on the left side of the infield but he could transition into a standout center fielder, it's that type of upside. The left-handed stick provides powerful bat speed, though he is currently content hitting hard line drives for a high average. 

Chris Newstrom (2024, Phoenix, Ariz.) is a pretty explosive athlete that will continue to tick up as his long and lean body fills out. He has defensive versatility, including mobile hips and a very strong arm behind the dish. The upside with the bat really stands out and he was very consistent at each stop this summer. 

Anson Seibert (2024, Overland Park, Kan.) is a massive 6-foot-7, 226-pound right-handed pitcher that has a loose arm that is already touching upper-80s with a ton more to come. He is already around the zone with his arsenal and doesn’t have a ton of miles on the shoulder. The upside is real and he is a solid athlete that can swing the bat some too. 


Anderson Nance (2024, Eden, N.C.) is a lean, projectable right-hander that checks a ton of boxes from a collegiate prospective. The arm really works with looseness and quickness while he’s done a good job establishing himself at holding velocity typically in the low-90s and upper-80s. The breaking ball and changeup are both advanced and you’re talking about a supreme athlete who’s just beginning to scratch the surface of his pitching upside.

Ben Reiland (2024, Villa Park, Calif.) can do a bit of everything on the diamond. The quickness and agility will keep him in the middle of the diamond. The all-fields approach and sweet left-handed stroke give him a plenty attractive offensive profile that fits at the top of the order. 

Christopher Rembert (2024, Pensacola, Fla.) offers a ton to like and was one of the bigger risers in the 2024 class over the summer. He’s sure-handed at shortstop with excellent agility, athleticism, and very soft hands. The hit tool played really well in games while the overall athleticism adds an exciting element to his game. 

Mason Brassfield (2024, Bakersfield, Calif.) is a very talented two-way prospect that could really go a number of ways as he develops. The lefty has shown upper-80s stuff on the mound to go along with his ability to miss bats. That gives him plenty of time to hone in on the nuances. There is similar potential in the left-handed bat, with a smooth stroke and loft potential. 


Camden Clewett (2024, Yorba Linda, Calif.) is another two-way prospect with big potential. The catch-and-throw skills behind the plate are extremely advanced and he has a solid middle-of-the-field approach at the dish. On the bump, he can run a lively fastball into the upper-80s with real feel to spin the breaker. 

Bailey Thorne (2024, Phenix City, Ala.) is one of the better two-way prospects in the country thanks to his ability to run the fastball into the mid-80s along with showing power from the right side. There’s good physicality to the overall profile with a polished three-pitch mix to go along with the overall hittability. 

Rowan Kelly (2024, Menlo Oark, Calif.) is a true table setter from the left side and his production at each event speaks for itself. There is a ton of room still to grow and add strength, but the hands work so well and the bat to ball skills cannot be ignored. 

Drake Piersall (2024, Riverton, Utah) has an interesting profile given his athleticism, the upside in his physical stature, and the impact he has shown to all fields. The consistency in which he shows big impact off the bat really stands out in comparison to many of his ’24 peers. 

Easton Davies (2024, Orem, Utah) has enticing upside with a quick shoulder and the ball explodes out of the hand already. His upper-80s fastball is complemented by a very hard breaking ball that both collect swing-and-miss at a rapid level. The consistent repetitions should help him become a big riser. 


Gian De Castro (2024, Weston, Fla.) is a switch-hitter, which adds to his versatility positing intriguing power upside from both sides. The power comes easy to De Castro, along with the loft to the swing plane and the ability to put the ball out to any part of the park. There’s legitimate middle-of-the-order potential with De Castro thanks to the power potential. 

Lou D'Alessio (2024, Red Bank, N.J.) is a very solid prospect given his ability to do a little bit of everything well on the field. He’s a quality athlete with defensive versatility all over while the hit tool will be able to carry him. There’s burgeoning power and his ability to put bat to ball and disrupt on the basepaths gives him a number of solid traits. 

Alejandro Sardinas (2024, Miramar, Fla.) is a long and lean infield prospect that shows the range and actions that should keep him at shortstop. The body has a live look and there is good hand speed and length to the swing through the zone that gives him an extremely high ceiling in the right-handed batters box as well. 

Quindon Wright (2024, Albany, Ga.) and his pure physicality stand out in a very large way. But he is also athletic with good bat-to-ball skills and does a good job working his hands inside the ball and using the park. This gives him plenty of time to organically develop the in-game power as he builds repetitions. There is middle-of-the-order potential at the highest level. 

Brevin Bezick (2024, Red Bank, N.J.) has big power in the left-handed stick and it plays in game. He controls the zone and grinds out at-bats, but make no mistake its the power potential and run-producing ability will continue to be the trademark for the New Jersey native. 


Braeden Weckman (2024, Winter Springs, Fla.) has a lively frame with some flick in the wrists. The high-energy player can hurt an opposing team in a number of ways with thump in the bat and an aggressive style of play on the bases.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple. Functional & compact swing. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Tennessee pic.twitter.com/YVUfxbHBxx — Perfect Game...

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive

Perfect Game Staff

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Alain Gomez-Gudiño (‘26 AZ) with a pair of backside barrels, including a double. Physical 6-0/215 frame. Switch-hitter with power. Adv. defender with strong C&T behind the dish. @PGAllAmerican alum. #Gamecocks commit #PGHS @PG_Draft @SaguaroBaseball pic.twitter.com/2Vhuu5gYX9 — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 11, 2026 C Alain Gomez-Gudino, Saguaro (Ariz.) Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long. Cloud County and Midland College continue to put together strong weeks and climb the rankings each week it seems. Jumping into the rankings this week on the strength of a 15-game winning streak is Seminole State (OK). And Linn Benton makes the top 25 for a 2nd consecutive week and looks like the top team in the NWAC this spring. Plenty of high-level matchups at the JUCO level for some of the top teams in the county this next week.  Rk.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino

In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...
