WWBA Soph. Uncommitted Names Part 1

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.

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...

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

2025 Year in Review: College

Craig Cozart

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. Another first...

Isaiah Burrows

With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses. We have already dropped our 2028 Top 75 collegiate prospects board, but this one is our Top 100 college prospects who will be eligible for the 2027 class. These are the Top 100 players in our eyes for this group, and many of them have already shown up on campus and been impactful in many ways. Whether its our top-ranked player in Oregon State’s Dax Whitney or ninth-ranked William Schmidt...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
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. Rk. Name Level Pos.

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...
