Perfect Game College Player Database

Every week during the 2018 college baseball season we will be pulling at least one report, and corresponding video when available, of a player entered into the College Player Database. This week we will share several reports on players from a trio of Texas junior colleges – McLennan, San Jacinto and Howard – in addition to Walters State from Tennessee. All of the reports entered into the database can be found in one, easy-to-find place as linked above, and can also be accessed off of the individual PG player profile pages.

To access all of the reports you will need a College Baseball Ticket (CBT) subscription. To learn more about the CBT and to sign up today please visit this link.




Josh Breaux, C/OF/RHP, McLennan College

Even on a weekend when he was not in the lineup after taking a foul ball to wrist that left him unable to swing the bat, Breaux (6-foot-2, 220) managed to create some buzz again on the mound with an appearance in relief against the top-ranked San Jacinto Gators. Working with a fastball only, he produced a 1-2-3 inning while sitting at 97-mph. Showing arm-side run and slight sink to righthanded hitters, as well as the ability to throw a darting four-seamer, Breaux only threw three pitches that were not at 97. He jammed the second batter of the inning with a 95 mph boring fastball in on the hands to get a chopper to the third baseman. He used a 96 mph fastball to get ahead of the leadoff batter and bumped 98 mph on a four seamer down and away to San Jac leadoff hitter Tyriece Silas, before eventually striking him out. Breaux’s command of the fastball is much improved from his freshman campaign and he has shown a better feel thus far for using the movement of the pitch as well. Through two outings this year, Breaux has recorded five of his six outs via the strikeout without allowing a baserunner. 

By the lofty standards he set as a freshman, he is off to a slow start at the plate in 2018, if you consider a .333 average with two doubles, a triple and two home runs in just 21 at-bats slow. His average may not be as lofty as it was at this time last year but sporting a 1.254 OPS is actually ahead of the numbers he posted at the same point in the season as a freshman. The power he possesses in the bat is plus on any scale and the strikeout-to-walk ratio is even. He will be back in the middle of the Highlanders’ lineup soon enough, but head coach Mitch Thompson is not going to take any chances rushing Breaux’s recovery because he will be a key piece in getting the Highlanders back to Grand Junction this spring.

Trey Dillard, RHP, San Jacinto

The only question about the abilities of Dillard were emphatically answered in his most recent outing against fifth-ranked McLennan Community College. With the top-ranked Gators holding a 2-1 edge entering the bottom of the ninth inning, Dillard stepped on the mound and delivered a resounding version of slamming the door shut. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound closer put to rest any questions of his ability to command his high-octane arsenal. From a high three-quarters arm slot Dillard repeatedly pounded the strike zone with a fastball that sat at 97 mph and topped at 98. He showed poise and composure with an easy effort delivery that stayed online and well directed.

The velocity was not the only impressive aspect of the outing but the command of it was. Without missing spots, Dillard pounded the glove with arm-side life and slight sink. Compound that with an 11-to-5 power curveball, which showed depth and bite at 84-87 mph, and it is easy to see how the Gators held the lead without incident. Should Dillard, a native of Phoenix, Ariz., continue with this type of precision, he should vault to near the top of scouting lists as a solid high draft pick for this June’s Amateur Draft.

Tyler McKay, RHP, Howard College

With a long and lean frame standing 6-foot-6, 180-pounds, McKay shows a good amount of functional strength. The Kansas State transfer, has a clean and well-timed delivery from a high three-quarters arm slot. He hides the ball well in behind him before delivering to the plate. With just a waist high leg lift and minimal lower half input, it appears that there is much more in the tank for the Howard starter.

His fastball sat 89-91 mph, with sinking arm-side run and McKay showed the ability to command it well to both halves of the plate. He uses a slider with 10-to-4 shape thrown with depth and late, quick bite in the 82-83 mph range as a groundball pitch successfully. In addition, McKay uses his changeup, which is thrown with hand speed that matches his fastball, and shows arm-side run and sink, to generate off-time contact.

On a day when the weather conditions were far from ideal, McKay demonstrated a willingness to get on the mound and compete well, even with an extremely tight zone behind the plate. He shows poise and the demeanor of a seasoned veteran on the mound, working around some defensive miscues behind him, McKay never let the situation of the game affect his effort or execution on the mound.

Hunter Wolfe, SS, Walters State

Shortstop Hunter Wolfe is one of the most toolsed-up prospects in the junior college ranks and comes in ranked fifth on the JUCO Top 150 draft prospect list. Wolfe is extremely athletic and has very natural, athletic actions over at shortstop. He reads the ball well and can work through throws with his footwork showing soft hands and making a number of impressive plays. Wolfe is an excellent runner, timed at 4.07 and 4.12 seconds to first base from the right side, and would grade out as a plus/plus tool that is likely his carrying tool.

Wolfe hits in the middle of the order for the Senators and shows a very compact swing and does a good job at getting the bat head out in front. He has more power than one would gather from first glance as his second swing of the game he launched a no-doubt, three-run shot deep to the pull side. The approach is more of a line drive one but he showed that he can get into a mistake pitch. Wolfe's carrying tool is his 70 run tool, however, he has a good collection of skills, bat-to-ball and defensive prowess to be worthy of a high draft selection. He is certainly athletic enough to even move to center field in pro ball if he can't stick at shortstop.

It was incredible Opening Weekend across the nation with numerous upsets, tightly contested series’ and dominating sweeps. Beyond that, there were generational individual performances, lockdown pitching appearances and record-breaking runs scored as well. It feels like we have been saying this every year for the past decade, but our game is alive and well. More and more programs are getting massive returns on their investments and the fans are turning out in record numbers to see college baseball in its Golden Era. As is typical this time of year, there was very little movement within the poll, in fact, our Top 15 places in the poll remain unchanged. No. 1 LSU (3-0), No. 2 Georgia Tech (3-0) and No. 3 Tennessee (3-0) all took care of business at home, treating their fans to a show of their offensive firepower. No. 16 Coastal Carolina (3-0) and No. 17 UNC (3-0) both had perfect...

The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition. The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner. New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
