Jupiter Uncommitted Standouts: Hitters

With the 2022 WWBA World Championships coming to an end earlier this week, uncommitted players from across the country left their mark on the amateur baseball world, with hoards of college recruiters looking on, meaning some of these players won't be uncommitted for too much longer. Part 1 of this project looks at some of the hitters who stood out, with a follow-up article soon looking at pitchers who opened some eyes and lit up the radar guns. 
 

Jeffrey Davis (2023, Moline, Ill.) had a big event with seven hits in just five games in Jupiter. He has an athletic 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame with lots of strength in the hands. His short stroke from both sides has plenty of accuracy and sticks to a solid line drive approach, also finding the green on a pair of doubles.

Seth Rajacich (2023, Apple Valley, Calif.) has a projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with loose levers and good length through the zone. He gets good whip and creates back spin to all fields. The approach is patient and he can work walks, but did show some aggressive traits with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in a few as well. This is a good left-handed bat to build on at the next level.



Kale Fountain (2024 Lincoln, NE) had an impressive week hitting over .300 with a massive homerun that cleared the trees on the Marlins quad. He is a strong right handed hitter with a physical presence at 6-5/226. He can handle either corner infield spot, but there is no reason that he should not develop longterm at third base. The underclassman hit in the middle of the order and produced. 

Andrew Swenson (2023, Enola, Pa.) used his quick bat to hit .500 during the event, including a homer. He has a frame that can easily add strength to help continue to build the power profile, but he is best staying in the middle of the field. The profile fits the top of the order as he also swiped five bags, showing good instincts and timing on the bases.

Noah Konings (2023, Bramton, Ontario) has a strong 6-foot, 180-pound build that creates solid bat speed through contact. He had six hits on the weekend, belting a double, on his way to hitting .375. He is also a solid runner, putting up 6.8 times in the 60-yard dash.

Bradley Garner (2023, Richmond, Va.) notched five hits during his four games in South Florida, showing the ability to hit velocity during the event. There is some power and lift in the swing and the 6-foot-1, 182-pounder has lots of room to add strength. Garner could also be used in multiple spots on the dirt.

Zekey Borel (2023, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) put together a very consistent week, hitting over .300 with a double to go with his four walks. He also showed solid ability to hit with runners in scoring position, as he knocked in three runs. He has an athletic look with a 6-foot, 185-pound frame and looks the part of a future power hitting corner outfielder.

Corey Fields (2023, Acworth, Ga.) is an explosive athlete with well above-average wheels that can be used on both sides of the ball to help change games. The right-handed hitter hit a robust .600 on the weekend and blistered a double and a triple during a great showing at the WWBA World Championship.  

Jacob Cooper (2023, Douglasville, Ga.) is a very physical 5-foot-11, 195-pound backstop and looks like a throwback behind the dish. He has big forearms that help create a ton of impact when out front. The powerful right-handed hitter blasted a homer during the event and hit a solid .400 on the weekend.


Drew Reaves (2023, Pensacola, Fla.) was featured in our uncommitted gems article before the event, and he did not disappoint. He has a compact swing and lots of bat-to-ball skills to go with his toughness in the right-handed batters' box. The well-rounded infielder has traits that can play early at the next level.

Luis Castillo (2023, Talbott, Tenn.) can be the guy you want to walk off the bus first with his Greek God-like 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame. He had a monster Jupiter, hitting .444 with a 1.694 OPS, barreling three extra-base hits, including a homer. There is monstrous power potential in the right-handed bat that should find its way into a middle of the lineup at the next level.

Ethan Bosley (2023, Edgewood, Ky.) used a very mature approach to display on-base skills during his time in Jupiter. He walked three times, clubbed three hits, and split the outfield for a triple. The right-handed hitter seemed to be on time during all his at-bats and with that type of hit tool, he should garner more interest.

Logan Chapman (2023, Apopka, Fla.) brought a calm, mature disposition to the right-handed box in Jupiter. He hit from start to finish and it resulted in a .538 average and 1.262 OPS. He has strength and fluidity that should allow him to continue to hit while the power will organically come.

Walker Vanecek (2023, Riverview, Fla.) hit .500 with a double during the most competitive tournament of the year. His 6-foot, 215-pound frame already has lots of strength, and his ability to identify pitches should give him a quality power/patience profile early on at the next level. He had a big 2022 circuit, producing over a 1.000 OPS with five homers.


Ariel Antigua (2023, Lake Worth, Fla.) was the event MVP and seemed to be the guy you wanted in the box to get the big hit. He had two doubles,  a homer, five walks, five RBI, and scored nine runs to absolutely stuff an event line. He also stole three bags and played sure-handed at shortstop on his way to a championship.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

This week brings a new top team to the rankings as Johnson County (KS), on the strength of 10 consecutive wins and a 26-2 record, claims the overall number 1 spot. The Cavaliers have made 3 consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series and have the talent to make it back there again this spring. Florida Southwestern and Chipola have seemingly separated themselves as the most consistent teams in Florida. Welcome to the top 5 to the Gaston Rhinos who will be one of the first teams to 30 wins this spring. Pearl River stays as the top NJCAA D2 team and Fresno City stays as the top Juco team in California; both are coming off undefeated 2 week stretches. Welcome back to the top 25 to John A.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

High School Top 50 Update: March 17

Tyler Russo
Article Image
We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...

College Players of the Week: March 17

Vincent Cervino

March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

College Top 25: March 16

Vincent Cervino

Collegiate Player Report Database As each week of the college baseball season passes, we continue to be entertained at an incredible level with high level drama at every turn.  Conference play is under way and the national landscape is starting to make a bit more sense.  The development and strength of individual players is on full-display and there continue to be upsets on occasion that sends the message no team can relax for one moment.  For the most part, the Top 10 remains unchanged with some reshuffling as No. 1 UCLA (17-2) holds on to the top spot with yet another perfect (4-0) week after sweeping Michigan.  The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) did drop their first game of the season in Game 1 of SEC play but won the series against Ole Miss and finished the week with a (3-1) record.  The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (17-3) passed their first real road test of the...

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...
