Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Pitchers

With nearly the entire scouting staff on site for the 2023 WWBA World Championship, several uncommitted prospects were highlighted throughout the 5 day's worth of notes. Rather than have them all spread throughout the 4 different articles, we pulled together all the uncommitted prospects from those notes and put them in one spot, wrapping up with the hitters today. As we've seen over the years, players develop at different rates and some of the arms below are just scratching the surface, while others used Jupiter as their coming out party to thrust their name on the national scene. With a mix of both 2024 graduates and underclassmen, colleges of all levels are certain to find something that'll fit their recruiting classes and ultimately help their club. 

*All players listed below are labeled as uncommitted per their Perfect Game profile.





An uncommitted bat that showed well this week for the South Charlotte Panthers 2024 Marucci, Cameron Turner (2024, NC) displayed the ability to find the barrel and hit for power. The 6-3/210 first baseman moves well around the bag with clean glove work and the ability to turn the ball over in the middle with an accurate arm. At the plate, Turner uses an upright stance to maximize his leverage, turns through the ball at impact but it is his hands that really drive the swing. The ball jumps off the barrel, he gets it in the air with ease and there is plenty of thunder behind it. As you would expect, there is some swing and miss but he hit over .300 this week and collected 5 RBIs on the week. He will be a good pickup for a program looking for a middle of the order bat and solid corner defender. -Craig Cozart

Braylon Whitaker (2024, NC) is an important component to the success that USA Prime Scout Team 18u has achieved this week. The 5-10/165 center fielder is a slashing, fast-twitch type of player that impacts the game on both sides of the ball. He’s the general in the outfield, locking down the middle of the field and routinely taking away would be hits. With the stick, he understands his game and keeps the barrel above the ball working from the ground up. His path is flat, and he prides himself in moving the baseball so he can pressure the opposing defenders with his foot speed. The uncommitted athlete is a legit two-way threat too, jumping on the mound with his mid-80s fastball from the left side, making him an even more attractive prospect. -CC

Dariel Pirela (2024, Tampa, FL) the athletic outfielder showed a full array of tools today that impact the game on both sides of the baseball. Speed and arm strength to handle multiple outfield positions. At the plate, shows quick hands with a line drive all fields approach. Runs the bases especially well with instincts to create runs and runs scoring opportunities. Winning type, impact player with the right opportunity. Currently uncommitted. -Blaine Peterson

Mason Braun (2025, South Bend, IN) power hitting left-handed hitter that showed to ability to drive the baseball to all fields today. Had multiple hits including a backside line drive double. Showed plenty of strength in the swing with bat speed today. Lots of traits to like here as a corner defender with a left handed power bat. Currently uncommitted. -BP


Rafael Furcal Jr. (2024, Weston, FL) physical right-handed hitting presence with big time bat speed. Got to the barrel with an in sync swing today for a sharp line drive double. Corner infielder with solid average speed and the profile to develop into a middle of the order run producer at the next level. Had really quality at-bats today. Currently uncommitted. -BP

Carson Brumbaugh (2025, Edmond, OK) a highest level 2-way talent in the 2025 class. Shows elite hand speed with plate coverage and pop to all fields. Has a real chance to develop into an elite hitter with power. Has played shortstop at a high level in Jupiter showing lateral range and well above average arm strength across the diamond. There may not be a more talented uncommitted 2025 in the country. -BP

Garrett Droege (2024, Acworth, Ga.)- the 5-foot-11, 185-pound athletic outfielder for the East Cobb Astros-Orange made one of the greatest catches you will ever see on a baseball field at any level during first-round action at the 2023 WWBA World Championship. With two outs in the bottom of the 6th inning and a pair of runners on for the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team and the Astros holding on to a slim 4-3 lead, Droege made the catch you had to see to believe. The right-handed outfielder ranged into deep into left-centerfield on a full sprint and fully laid out to make the diving grab in front of the track to preserve the lead and save a pair of runners from scoring for the Reds. A bigtime play from the Mount Paran Christian High School standout who is still somehow uncommitted and who also finished 1-for-3 at the dish with a double and run batted in against the power arms the Reds Scout Team featured. -Jason Phillips

Jonathan Vazquez (2025, Miami Lakes, FL) is an intriguing uncommitted bat that found multiple barrels and stole a base on day one. Vazquez features a simple swing with good rhythm and balance throughout. A clean path to contact gets on plane early and allows for quality barre accuracy. There is some bat speed present that helps generate solid power at times. The power plays well to the pullside and should only continue to develop further down the line. It is an intriguing skill set with room to get even better. -Tyler Henninger


Sean Gamble (2025, Des Moines, IA) showcased his loud toolset on day two, going 2-for-4 with a double and stolen base. Loose hands create easy bat speed through the zone. Quality extension out front and feel for the barrel allows for balls to be driven in the air with authority consistently. Gamble possesses massive power that plays to the big part of the field, giving him the ability to go yard at any point. Once on base, plus speed allows him to be aggressive and steal bags often. The skill set can make a big impact on games in a multitude of ways, which is why Gamble is considered amongst the best players in the class. -TH

Josiah Hartshorn (2025, Anaheim, CA) has the ability to generate loud contact on a regular basis and did just that on day two. The slugger went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs driven in. Advanced bat speed stands out at the plate. Hartshorn swings with intent and can drive balls consistently to all fields. There is feel for the barrel present that allows for the power to show up regularly during in-game action. The skill set has the makings of a high level middle of the order bat with run-producing ability. Still uncommitted, Hartshorn will have plenty of suitors to pick from heading into his junior year. -TH

Brayden Ricketts (2024, Brampton, Ont.) came up with a huge swing later on in the game for Canadian Premier, driving in the tying run on a double down the right field line. He uses the leverage well in the left-handed swing and there’s some big time power projection here at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds. It’s a smooth left-handed cut and he can just flat out hit. Ricketts certainly looks the part physically and is a great uncommitted name in Canada. -Cam McElwaney

Sean Kempf (2024, Ville of Lakewood, Ill.) had a great day on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two base hits to his name. He has good rhythm to the swing and it comes off really easy. It’s a simplistic swing with no stride in the load and good bat speed. He’s strung together a solid weekend so far with a double to his name and an RBI for the GRB Rays National. -CM

Dax Kilby (2025, Newnan, Ga.) is a name that’s jumped onto the scene over the last few weeks after an impressive showing at Underclass WWBA and has continued that into Jupiter. He certainly looks the part at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds and the athleticism certainly stands out. It’s an easy impact left-handed stick with great barrel skills and more power to project on. He showed off the running ability on Sunday stretching an easy single into a hustle double and played a solid second base throughout the event. He’s a name to know and monitor in Georgia and the stock is continuing to rise. -CM

Abdiel Sostre (2024, San Juan, Puerto Rico) collected two more hits on Day Two, as the live bodied uncommitted middle-infielder continues to show plenty of intrigue. He stays short and direct with his hands, delivers the barrel on-time and uses the entire field extremely well. There is plenty of present bat speed, quickness to his hands the ability to recognize spin out of the hand. It is a modern table setter mentality with offensive prowess and sound defensive skills. He provides a spark each time he steps to the plate and should be a welcomed addition for a recruiting class looking for an energetic athlete with tons of upside. -John McAdams

Jackson Akin (2025, Lee’s Summit, Mo.) is an uncommitted middle-infielder who put an exclamation point on the Sticks Baseball/White Sox Scout Team win on Friday. He has a 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame, with a more lean build and some athleticism showing. There’s room to continue adding strength. He’s an even base with a deeper handload and some whip through the zone. He sealed the deal on a victory, walking things off in the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo home run. He was able to get out front to one, lifting deep to left field on a ball that was well-struck and got out quickly. According to Trackman, the ball was hit at 99mph, with a projected distance of 337 feet, getting out of the park in a hurry. He knew it was gone off the bat. -Tyler Kotila


Bruin Agbayani (2025, Mililani, Hawaii) is an uncommitted middle-infielder with a 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame with a taller and athletic look to him. He has swung it well this weekend with some loud results, handling the stick well from the left side. Agbayani starts upright with the back elbow out, lifting the leg and letting the weight transfer forward through the swing. Agbayani has a quick stroke with some speed through the zone. He had a shorter path to it and was able to get working uphill through contact at times to produce loud results. He’s worked on the barrel several times this weekend, which included a triple on Saturday as part of a 2-hit performance. -TK

Chase Jelks (‘30 GA)- with a long double to deep CF. Huge day from the primary SS, 5-for-6 w/ 4 doubles & 6 RBI. #SESuperNIT @TheDreamBall @PG_Georgia https://t.co/biFSzXCrUt pic.twitter.com/HCQMduedb5 — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 20, 2026 Chase Jelks (’30, Atlanta, Ga.)- the left-handed hitting Jelks was all over the barrel on Sunday in a pair of games for The Dream 14U Black. He finished the day with five hits in six at-bats which included four doubles and six runs batted in. His two doubles and four runs batted in played a big part in the Gold Playoffs Round 1 victory over the talented BPA squad out of California. He backed up that performance with three more hits in a quarterfinal’s loss to the East Cobb Astros 14U Orange to finish the tournament with a .600 batting average and 1.636 on-base plus slugging percentage. A primary utility infielder,...

The regular season is behind us, and it is now tournament time and wow, is there a lot to still be decided.  We are a week away from the Field of 64 being announced and hosting opportunities, at-large bids, as well as automatic bids are there for the taking.  The UCLA Bruins (48-6) continue their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the land, finishing the regular season without losing a series all year.  ACC powers, UNC (43-10) and Georgia Tech (45-9) remain at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively and SEC regular season champs, the Georgia Bulldogs (43-12) stick at No. 4.  After that there was a small amount of shuffling within the Top 10 with No. 5 Texas (40-12), No. 6 West Virginia (37-13) and No. 7 FSU (38-16) moving ahead of now No. 8 Auburn (36-18) after they were the only team in this group to drop their weekend series.   No. 14 Florida (37-18) and No. 15...

‘27 RHP Grant Slater (@BoydCoBaseball) gets his 1st start of the year (3rd appearance) as he works his way back. FB opened 89-92 w/ ride & was still up to 91 in the 5th (run rule), while touching 93 in the 3rd. CT worked in the mid 8s & breaking ball in mid 7s (sweep). Big summer… pic.twitter.com/w9EXl6Jmrx — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) May 8, 2026 Grant Slater, 2027, RHP, Boyd Co (KY) Slater made his full start of the year back on May 7th. He had appeared in a few games in relief roles prior as he has come back from a few injury bugs. The Alabama commit went five strong innings, in a complete game fashion (run rule), only allowed a couple hits, one walk, and struck out 13 batters. Slater is beginning to ramp up at the right time with postseason right around the corner. Slater’s fastball peaked at 93 mph a few times, held velocity in the...

CPBL Showcase Scout Notes

Troy Sutherland
Article Image
Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Silky op with big arm speed and projection. Shaky FB command early, 91-93 T94. CH is present plus, weapon vs both LH & RH hitters at 83-84. Good arm side depth to it. SL has some length to the mostly lateral action @ 77. #KState commit.#CPBLShowcaseWknd pic.twitter.com/7TdJ2neOv6 — Perfect Game International (@pg_int1) May 8, 2026 Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Very intriguing athletic upside here, came out early a bit juiced up leading to inconsistent fastball command but settled in and started dotting. Ran the fastball up to 94 with running life. Changeup is ahead of the rest of the arsenal  in terms of quality, and has a parachuting arm side dive that gets frequent swings over the top. Slider is tight with varying length at its best it does have an extra gear to garner a late count whiff. Should fit nicely at Kansas State if he decides to...

Coppy's Corner: May 14 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
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: Drew Burress – Georgia Tech  I love everything that Craig Cozart writes, and his piece on Burress is as good as it gets (link). Craig does a masterful job of showing us how Burress has (not arguably) the best career college performance of any current player. The body of work is consistent and impressive, and Burress has one of the highest floors in the 2026 MLB Draft with above average or better tools across the board.  I’m not going to do a deep dive on Burress’ numbers because there is no point: they are really good, everywhere. I would rather talk about...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 13

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The college baseball postseason has arrived for NCAA Division II, Division III, and the NAIA, bringing with it the most intense stretch of the season. Conference tournaments have wrapped up, national brackets are taking shape, and teams across the country are shifting from regular season positioning to survival mode, where one bad inning can abruptly end a year’s worth of work. The NAIA Opening Round is already underway, and some programs could begin packing for the national finals as early as tomorrow. Across all three divisions, the postseason field is loaded with experienced clubs, dominant pitching staffs, and lineups capable of changing a game with one swing. Now, the focus turns from building résumés to advancing through regional play and chasing national championships.

High School Top 50 Update: May 13

Tyler Russo
Article Image
Another week has passed by in the high school baseball season and with that, we have another edition of the National High School Top 50 to bring to you. Playoffs are rolling in southern states and we have reached the final 4 in some of them already. Each week we have new teams break in and this week is no different with three new faces inside the top-50.   The top remains almost identical to a week ago with the top-10 remaining the exact same with Venice (FL) leading the way as the No. 1 team in the nation. North Paulding (GA) swept Buford in an Elite 8 matchup in Georgia and move up a pair of spots to No. 12 in the country. Another big mover is St. Laurence (IL) who jumps nine spots to No. 13 and boast a 30-1 record on the year. Waxahachie (TX) continues to move up and are up nine spots this week to No. 32.   The three new teams inside the National Top 50 are Etowah...

College Players of the Week: May 12

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
May 12th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech  It would be hard to come up with an award that Drew Burress, the 5-9/185 junior from Houston County, GA, hasn’t achieved throughout his All-American career for the Yellow Jackets.  From being named the Perfect Game Freshman of the Year in 2024, to being a semifinalist for the Dick Howser and Golden Spikes Award in 2025, it would be a challenge for a mere mortal to live up to the expectations.  Burress has done that and more as he etched his name in the record books last weekend when he tied Georgia Tech legend Jason Varitek’s record for career home runs.  Launching round-trippers in each of their 3-victories against ACC foe Duke, Burress brought his total to an incredible 57 over his three seasons in Atlanta.  For the weekend, he collected 6 hits in 12 at bats, scoring 6...

College Top 25: May 11

Well, in what seems like the blink of an eye, here we are in the last week of the NCAA College Baseball regular season.  It has been an incredible ride and there is still much riding on these last series of the year as teams grapple to improve their postseason resume.  It will be a short week with most every 3-game set starting on Thursday this week as conference tournaments get under way early next week.  While they were given their biggest scare of the season and did see their 25-game Big Ten winning streak come to an end, UCLA (46-5) will remain the No. 1 team in the nation.  They were pushed to the brink last weekend by now No. 11 Oregon (36-14), entering Sunday for their first rubber match of the year.  They did find themselves down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the 6th inning before they came storming back with 8-unanswered runs over the next three frames...

PG Draft Top 400: Biggest Risers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The draft cycle is officially in full swing. With the college season nearing postseason play and high school baseball underway across the country, the board is beginning to shift in a major way. Over the past month, a number of players have significantly altered their stock, whether by continuing dominant spring performances or showing improved tools that warrant a jump. That movement was evident throughout our latest Top-400 update, which featured several notable jumps across the board. Here’s a look at the biggest risers from the newest rankings update. Biggest Risers Overall  Huge day at the yard for James Tronstein (‘26, CA). 3-for-4 which included 2 HRs, one to dead center and the other to straight away right. Now up to 8 on the year. Has been a consistent @PG_Draft riser this spring and is getting hot at the right time. #PGHS @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/6grT1zZ9lg...

High School Notebook: May 7

Cam McElwaney

Ryder Bell, LHP, Hamilton (AZ) Bell got the ball for Hamilton in the first round of playoff action and did not blink. The young left-hander tosses 6 2/3 strong innings with four strikeouts and just one walk. Bell faced some adversity at times with runners on, but consistently competed and found a way out of most jams. An athletic operation with intent is shown on the mound. Bell throws from a lower 3/4 slot that can create a tough angle. The fastball worked 82-85 mph with armside run. It paired well with a sweeper at 70-72 mph. Bell attacked the zone with both pitches often and landed the sweeper arm side consistently. The stuff has already shown it can play against quality lineups. Bell should be a fun name to monitor over the next couple years.    Cory Wuttke (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to LF for solo 💣. Multi-hit performance. Stays compact with strength at contact....
