17u Tourney All-American Team

Vincent Cervino

Tyler Kotila
There’s a lot of talent throughout this 2026 class, filled with the big-name stars, to talent that spreads across the nation. It’s been a lot of fun seeing these prospects grow and develop over the years, from the days of watching some of these guys at the 13/14u days at events on the circuit, to now where they are all graduating seniors in 2026. There’s been new faces who have popped along the way over the years, even in 2026, where some players who were relatively undiscovered, have come out and made a name for themselves with a statement performance. Between the familiar and the new, there’s a lot of names on this list that are going to be quite regularly talked about on the circuit, and for good reason. 

Whether it’s PG All-Americans or not, there’s a lot of names with superstar potential at the next level. We’ve got 14 PG All-Americans on the offensive side for the First-Team group, with players like Collin Bland who’s always liable for a big-time swing to leave the yard or AJ Curry who has some of best clutch-hitting traits in the class. To middle-infielders like Grady Emerson and Jacob Lombard who are poised to be Top 5 picks in the draft next summer, with Emerson in the conversation to go 1:1 in the eyes of some. These First-Teamers run deep with performance, seeing a bunch of them who produced on the circuit at every stop of the way, getting it done. Guys like Trevor Condon and Coleman Borthwick who have shown up and shown out on the circuit time-and-time again. If the past is any indicator, expect these numbers to continue as all of these players take the step to their respective next levels.



It’s hard to overlook these names, especially Cole Prosek, who takes home Player of the Year honors, with a .598 AVG, 1.523 OPS, 6 bombs, and 13 XBHs altogether, with 31 runs driven in. This all comes while walking 16 times, with just 8 punchouts on the circuit. He was named to the All-Tournament Team 5 times in all 5 of his big events he played in this year and was a Top Prospect at the PG National Showcase. Prosek really shined this year, earning his PG All-American honors along the way. The Ole Miss commit was a constant hitter in the eyes of evaluators and he’s ranked 31st in the class, and is the number 3 overall player in Mississippi. He’s got the traits to only continue trending upward at the next level.

On the mound, it’s another star-studded group, with big names at the top like Logan Schmidt who takes home Pitcher of the Year honors. He’s a storied name on the circuit, being a 12u, 13u, 14u PG Select Festival alum, and a 2025 PG All-American after re-classing up from the 2027 Class. Schmidt posted a 0.00 ERA over 16.0 IP with a gaudy 0.88 WHIP. He held the opposition to a .214 average and issued just 3 free passes with 29 punchouts on the circuit. The LSU commit was flat-out dominant, with his 3 All-Tournament Team Selections and impressive stats to pair. With his impressive performance this season, Schmidt has shown that he’s going to continue to impress as he moves to the next level after 2026. Schmidt is 14th ranked player in the class and is 2nd overall in California amongst the 2026 class.

Besides Schmidt, there’s a litany of performers across the First-Team and Second-Team lists. There’s six PG All-Americans on the First-Team list with a ton of talent across the board. Guys like Joseph Contreras who wow’d  the scouts with his performances at East Cobb on the circuit this year or Pablo Figueroa who made a name for himself with a 0.00 ERA over 13.1 IP, allowing just 1 hit. There was some other guys who made a name for themselves on the circuit, like Tyson Grulkowski who pitches his way from and Indoor Showcase to PG National and found himself on the fall circuit making waves with some really good performances at the Heartland Champions Cup and WWBA Jupiter. These arms are all players who have the traits to keep making noise at the next level.

Looking at both hitters and pitchers, it is hard to argue with what RJ Cope did this year on both sides of the ball. The massively physical 6-foot-8 lefty got it done on the mound and at the plate. He’s been a big-time arm on the circuit for years and put together some loud performances along the way, including a great outing in Jupiter. He also was one of the top hitters in this year’s group, getting it done at the plate as well. The Vanderbilt commit hit .394 with a 1.184 OPS and slugged 12 homers, plating 62 RBI to his credit as well. He tallied 73 punchouts over 60.1 innings on the mound as well. Cope was named to 8 All-Tournament Teams as well in 2025. 

All-in-all, it is not going to shock many that the 2026 class has been fun to watch with insane performances across the board. They have talent that is going to continue to shine for years to come, some of these names are players we will follow through the ranks of collegiate and professional baseball in years to come, and it all starts with some of these big-time performers listed below.

To those not inside the youth baseball world, some of the metrics below would seem truly unattainable from current 8th graders, from the pair of 90 mph heaters courtesy of Amani Tuiasosopo and Kingston George, to upper-80s velocity from all over the field and multiple players north of 90 mph on the exit velocity testing (with wood), this 2030 class is one that has a chance to be special as we continue to watch it unfold moving forward.  Top Fastball Velocity  Rk Player FB Event School Hometown 1 Amani Tuiasosopo 90 2025 WWBA 14U World Championship Renton...

Top 100 Collegiate Sophomores

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. The rest of the pack are eligible for next year’s draft and figure to feature at the top of many draft lists in ‘27.  Rk. Name Level Pos. B-T School Hometown...

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...

With an interesting and action-packed fall behind us, a new college season is just around the corner. The college game continues to prove it is alive and well as the Division 1 team count has now ballooned to 308 teams for the 2026 season.
