Jupiter Breakdown: Stars Being Stars


Leamsi Montanez (2025, Arroyo, PR) was nearly impossible to get out down in Jupiter, going 7-for-9 with three extra-base hits and five walks. A smooth left-handed swing consistently found the barrel, while showing a strong sense of the strike zone and intriguing power potential The well-rounded offensive skill set should draw plenty of suitors. 

Jaylen Payne (2025, Chandler, AZ) is a player that can impact games on both sides of the ball. He put up monster numbers at the plate, collecting eight hits and walking an additional five times. Strong on-base skills and advanced speed give Payne top of the order potential. Defensively, he possesses tons of range in centerfield with the ability to make highlight-reel plays. 



Nelson Hiraldo Sierra (2025, Trujillo Alto, PR) had at least one hit in every game down in Jupiter, while showing potential middle of the order power. The Puerto Rican product consistently shows advanced in-game power from the left side of the plate, something many schools should be interested in. 

Andruw Giles (2026, Henderson, NV) showcased a well-rounded skill set that should result in plenty of schools calling. The left-handed hitting outfielder showed strong on-base ability, collecting seven hits and drawing seven walks, some intriguing power potential, and strong defensive ability in right field. The skill set can impact games in a multitude of ways.  

-Tyler Henninger

Michael Senay (2025, Orlando, FL)
After a less than stellar inning pitched in relief three days earlier, Senay took the ball in the starting role for the Scorpions 2025 Dodgers Scout Team in the Round of 32. The righty was absolutely dominant over his 5.0 IP and put his team in position for the dramatic walk-off win. Using his low-90s fastball and invisible low-80s slider, he scattered 6 hits, didn’t walk a single batter and retired 8 via the punchout. Newly uncommitted, Senay is already receiving a massive amount of interest. Recently committed to South Florida 


Rory Beauford Jr. (2025, Gibsonton, FL)
At 5-11/180, Beauford Jr. is the type of twitchy, long-limbed athlete that can impact the game in most any aspect for the Ostingers. He showed off nice closing speed and instinct for angles in the outfield, especially with the blustery wind throughout the event. Hitting from the left-side, he also showed quick hands and excellent barrel accuracy as he hit .429 for the week. He collected a triple, reached base half of his at-bats and finished with an amazing 1.214 OPS overall.

-Criag Cozart

Vladil Andres Baldepina (2025 FL) - Andres Baldepina has quietly put together a really strong ‘24 campaign, picking up 23 Ks over the course of 16.1 IP while holding opponents to a .217 BA. He’s posted a 1.71 ERA, featuring a upper 80s/low 90s FB that constantly gives hitters trouble with the ability to locate to all quadrants of the zone. The 6-foot-1, 190 pound righty has high upside and is a hidden gem remaining in the ‘25 class.

Monte Dismuke (2025 TX) - Dismuke has been one of the top arms in TX statistically this year, posting a 1.40 ERA in 20 IP, holding opponents to a staggering .136 BA. Talk about projection, the righty has tons of room to fill out currently standing at 6-foot-2, 160 pounds though has plenty of natural arm talent that has already been up to 90 mph.

Tre Jackson (2025 GA) - Jackson has been an absolute workhorse in 2024, chucking 83.1 innings between NAA season and travel ball, holding a 2.86 ERA with advanced chase stuff in the arsenal backed up by a jaw dropping 148 Ks recorded this calendar year. Mechanically, the righty is clean and refined with good life behind the FB into the low 90s. He’s a natural competitor and has stuff that translates at multiple levels.

Chase Forester (2025 PA) - Forester has performed both at the regional level and on the big stage this year, pitching to a 2.27 ERA. The righty has tons of whip present to the arm action which yields to high velo potential in the future, currently in the mid/upper 80s. There’s further room to fill out the 6-foot-4, 170 pound frame and is definitely worth a look in terms of what the future could develop into for the PA product.

-AJ Denny

Calvin Moreau, SS
Moreau showed a very intriguing stick for the Cincinnati Reds Scout Team. The shortstop left the yard for a moonshot two-run homer in a two-hit game. Standing at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, the Wisconsin native has long limbs and a loose stroke that projects for very good power. Recently committed to UCF
 
Michael Cascino, RHP
Cascino got on the mound and showed some loud stuff. The righty is an uber athletic mover and ran the heater up to 93, living firmly in the low-90s. The slider was tight in the low-80s, working off the fastball well with advanced feel for the pitch.

Jacob Morgan, LHP
Morgan got a quick look on the bump for Ghost National/Artillery and there is a lot to like. The projectable southpaw is 6-foot-4, 195-pounds with long limbs and worked in the upper-80s. He sinks it well, flashing a bigger low-70s breaking ball and solid feel for a fading changeup.

Zahir Barjam, INF
Barjam capped off a strong year in which he batted .439 with a big Jupiter. Seemingly everything came off loud as he went 8-for-16 with two doubles and a long ball. The infielder has functional swing and impact strength that shows up in game often. The bat speed stands out and Barjam plays with a competitive flare.

-Kyler Peterson

Christopher Marano (2026, North Haledon, New Jersey) has been an uncommitted name we’ve mentioned numerous times throughout the summer, as the athletic right-hander possesses a fastball into the low-90s and one of the more dastardly sliders we’ve seen across the circuit. He continued to show the very same in Jupiter by delivering four strong innings, punching out eight along the way and once again showcasing that intriguing fastball, slider combination. He will be a welcomed addition to any recruiting class looking to add more arms to their stable and should provide immediate innings upon arrival.  


Mason Murphy (2025, Missouri City, Texas) was outstanding for eventual champion CBA Marucci, as the uncommitted right-hander delivered one of the more impressive outings of the event to clinch Pool F for his squad. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Texas native went the distance, while punching out ten in his complete game shutout to propel the boys from Cali on their playoff run. He pounded the zone effortlessly at a 70% clip, ran his fastball up to 93 mph and held the upper-80s, low-90s throughout his outing. He mixed in a shorter slider with depth to it as his go-to secondary and completed his three-pitch arsenal with a well-replicated changeup that garnered plenty of whiffs. The durable, sturdy frame coupled with his ease of operation and ability to throw strikes will certainly be desirable in-terms of those looking for immediate innings.


Blake Fields (2025, Orlando, Florida) is an uncommitted outfielder with an intriguing blend of athleticism, offensive prowess and untapped power potential that has started to show up in-game. He collected six hits on amateur baseballs biggest stage, proving he can handle velocity and high-level pitching well. He launched one of the bigger homers of the event, as his grand slam nearly brought his FTB/TBT Phillies Scout team back from an eight-run deficit. He did a nice job of squeezing in the hands and delivered the barrel on-time with authority. The continued progress at the plate coupled with his athleticism lead me to believe he only continues to get better, as Fields will be an outstanding addition for those looking for immediate offense.   

Chase Camac (2025, Northfield, New Jersey) is another uncommitted name we’ve mentioned feverishly throughout the summer, as the left-handed hitting outfielder is always on the barrel. He recognizes spin extremely well, adjusts well regardless of level of competition and is always on-base. He has top-of-the order type traits with barrel skills, plenty of bat speed and enough speed to impact the game in a variety of ways.  

Joseph Vaccarella (2025, Mickelton, New Jersey) is a recently uncommitted right-hander that possesses a strike-throwing repertoire with a proven track record and moxie. He regularly works in the mid-to-upper 80s and has bumped the low-90s at-times with feel for two breaking balls, and a splitter. He attacks the zone effortlessly, has a durable frame and has produced across the circuit.  Recently committed to Army


Allem Borrero (2026, Hormigueros, Puerto Rico) possesses a two-way skill set that will benefit a recruiting class looking to add significant impact on both sides of the ball. He is a physical left-handed hitter with a unique blend of barrel skills and huge strength at impact. Four of his hits went for extra-bases in Jupiter, as he continued to perform like he has during the entirety of the 2024 circuit.  
 
-John McAdams

Jacob Wise (’25, Glen Allen, Va.)-appearing in his first PG event, the uncommitted 6-foot-1, 195-pound right-handed pitcher showed a solid three-pitch mix over four innings for the Richmond Braves 18U Platinum. He ran the fastball up to 91 mph and sat in the upper-80s during the outing with a curveball in the mid-70s and changeup with depth and fade around 80 mph. Wise controlled the zone with a 62% strike rate and finished with five strikeouts. An uncommitted arm into the low-90s with a feel for the zone and a three-pitch mix should not be uncommitted for long.

Ethan Dejesus (’26, Riverview, Fla.)- the 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed pitcher struck out four over 2 and 2/3 innings pitched for Florida Burn. The uncommitted Dejesus showed a quick arm and athletic delivery against the eventual runner-up East Coast Sox 2025 Scout. He ran the fastball up to 88 mph and featured a tight slider in the 78-82 mph range with two-plane break. Dejesus did not allow a run on one hit and displayed the ability to miss barrels and induce weak contact. The Sumner High School product posted a 1.37 ERA over 41 innings pitched during the ’24 PG season with 58 strikeouts.


Nick Burgos (’25, Longwood, Fla.)- the 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed pitcher did not allow an earned run over 4 and 1/3 innings of relief for Florida Burn 2025 Scout. The uncommitted Burgos ran the fastball up to 90 mph and recorded nine of his 13 outs via the ground ball variety. He finished with a pair of strikeouts and two hits allowed while controlling the zone at a 62% strike rate over his 59-pitch outing. Over 30 innings pitched during the ’24 PG season, Burgos posted a 1.17 ERA and 34 strikeouts to just 13 walks.


Nick Frontino (’25, Bonita Springs, Fla.)- the 6-foot-3, 195-pound uncommitted shortstop recorded six hits in nine at-bats for Florida Burn 2025 Scout. A right-handed hitter, Frontino recorded at least one hit in three games and scored at least one run in all four games of the tournament. He accounted for 10 runs with six runs scored and four runs batted in with a 1.727 on-base plus slugging percentage. Over 35 games during the ’24 PG season, Burgos has posted a .395 batting average with five home runs, six doubles, three triples and 39 runs batted in.

-Jason Phillips

’25 MIF Jagger Snitko 
Snitko was not only one of the best performers in attendance in Jupiter but he leads the list of top uncommitted names in attendance as well. The middle infielder took home MVP honors after hitting .318 with seven hits and four RBI, three of his hits coming on championship day. He’s a lean 6-foot-1, 180-pound middle infielder that has all the tools to stick there but he also hits. There’s no reason he is still uncommitted and that should change very soon.  

’25 RHP Riley Gibson 
Gibson came out of the bullpen in pool play and showed high octane stuff in relief. The North Carolina native sat comfortably in the 92-94 range with good feel to rip off nasty breaking balls in the upper-70s. There’s obvious athleticism and arm speed here and he showed some of the loudest stuff throughout the weekend. The North Carolina native is somehow still uncommitted but I’m not sure that’ll be the case much longer with this good of an arm.  

’25 RHP Joseph Williams 
Williams showed some pretty intriguing stuff for Team Elite against a tough lineup in pool play. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-hander ran the fastball into the upper-80s with plenty more to project here as he continues to add strength. The arm is free and loose and the body projects well. The Georgia native rounds out the mix with a changeup and a slider, both in the mid-to-upper-70s. There’s plenty of reasons to be excited about Williams and will be a fun one to follow into the spring.  

’25 RHP Michael Orbegozo 
Orbegozo showed an intriguing mix on the mound in pool play for Knights Baseball 18u National. The 6-foot-2, 192-pound Arizona native showed easy arm strength and ran the fastball up to 93 mph early in the start. He settled into the 90-91 range and showed some feel for a two-plane breaker as well. Orbegozo was one of my favorite uncommitted names at the event and will be an excellent add to a 2025 recruiting class.  
 
-Cam McElwaney

Sawyer Cooney (2025, Bloomfield Hills., Mich.) was part of a loaded Cincinnati Reds Scout Team pitching staff, and he’s certainly an arm who would benefit a Division I staff. Cooney worked up to 92 mph on the fastball, with a feel for the off speed and an ability to command the zone. He threw 2.0 innings, walking 3, allowing 1 hit, and keeping the opposition off the board. He’s uncommitted but projects well and certainly has a live arm that is one to keep an eye on moving forward.

Seddrick Henderson (2026, Richmond, Calif.) is one of my favorite arms I saw during Jupiter. The long and lean, 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame has worlds of upside and will make a college pitching coach very happy. It’s an extremely live and quick arm. He works the upper-80s right now, but the arm projects for more moving forward. Henderson threw 2 and 1/3 innings, walked 2, allowed no hits, and punched out 4 opposing hitters in a really good outing, looking the part all the way through.

Andrew Wong (2026, Stamford, Conn.) is a real unique arm that I saw during Jupiter. He’s a 6-foot-7, 205-pound frame and build with traits to like, and he works from a tough low three-quarters nearly sidearm slot. It’s a really tough angle and look that creates good deception to it. He worked up to 91 mph on the fastball and found ways to mix a slider effectively with good sweeping depth to it. Tons of upside moving forward with Wong.

Filippo Baratta (2025, Mokena, Ill.) hit and hit often for his Cangelosi Sparks team down in Jupiter. The right-handed hitter has a smooth and simple stroke that yields results. He’s produced on the Midwest circuit before and has found ways to get it done. He hit .500 on the weekend, with more walks than punchouts and a handful of RBI. He’s clean up the middle on the infield and a 6.75 60-yard dash runner with traits to like across the board.

Tyler Johnson (2026, Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) looked real good for the Knights National squad as he turned in a 7.0 inning shut-out performance for his team. He walked 2, allowed 4 hits, struck out 2, and was able to navigate the opposition with ease. He worked the upper-80s on the fastball and held his velocity. He mixed in an upper-70s slider and mid-70s curveball to pair, with feel to pitch and locate to all quadrants.

-Tyler Kotila

Cannon Lee (2025, Clayton, N.C.) was effective in both of his starts in Jupiter going a combined 4 innings with 2 hits. He ran the fastball up to 90 mph and sat consistently in the 87-89 mph range. The changeup and curveball are both good pitches as well, with the changeup in the low 80s with some late fade action, and the curveball in the low 70s with an 11-5 shape. The uncommitted arm can use all of these pitches for strikes, and has the potential to be a very reliable guy in a rotation at the next level.

Ray Yero (2025, Miami, Fla.) is an uncommitted middle infielder that can hit with power to all fields. He had an impressive weekend hitting over .400, and was able to rack up some impressive exit velocity numbers. One of his hits was a screamer into the outfield, leaving the bat at 102 mph. Yero has a lot of rotational strength in his swing and he should only get stronger as he moves on to the next level.

JJ Baysinger (2025, Largo, Fla.) had an impressive showing on the bump, with the fastball up to 90 with some good ride. The uncommitted arm is also very intriguing because he’s just made the switch from catcher to pitcher. Baysinger is already athletic on the mound, and he is going to continue to get comfortable out there.

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 sophomores on campus this spring.  This list is chalk full of talent, with future draft prospects littered top to bottom. The headliner of this group is Derek Curiel, a draft eligible sophomore that took the SEC by storm last spring. The Perfect Game All-American posted a .990 OPS over the course of a full season and is projected to vault himself further up the board during his ‘26 campaign. An electric arm in Dax Whitney follows up Curiel, with Strosnider, Lawson and Franco rounding out the top five.  Keep tabs on the draft eligible sophomores in this group come the summer.

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 freshmen on campus this spring.  Three high-end arms lead the way, starting with Jack Bauer. The Mississippi State left-hander reached triple digits as a prep and is sure to make an immediate impact this spring. UCLA right-hander Angel Cervantes was selected in the 2nd round of last year’s draft but held firm on his commitment and should be an impact arm for the Bruins. Following the arms, a collection of bats rounds out the Top 10. There is loads of upside to the group with the potential and they should draw considerable playing time as freshman.  As the list gets deeper, there are plenty of players that should pop up and make significant contributions both this year and years down the line. The class has both depth and talent, making for a very intriguing group of...

LSU Reloads & Returns; Opens No. 1

“How do you get to success? You have to honor the process that you built to get to that success…The standard is how we operate, train, and get better each day.”” Process-oriented leadership is a popular coaching strategy here in the mid-2020s but no one exemplifies that more than LSU head coach Jay Johnson. He’s won the Tigers two national titles during his time in Baton Rouge and expectations won’t be any lower in 2026 as LSU is the No. 1 team in the country in Perfect Game’s Preseason Top 25.  Johnson is heading into his fifth season at the helm in Baton Rouge and it’s fair to say that he has already experienced enormous success. There have been two national titles in four years (2023, 2025), a Golden Spikes winner (Dylan Crews, 2023), a first overall MLB Draft pick (Paul Skenes, 2023), and five first-round MLB Draft picks during...
