-John McAdams



Luke Labbe (2026, Saint Johns, Fla.), a 5-foot-8, 135-pound catcher, showed good barrel awareness in the box with a 2-for-5 day at the plate for 14U Team Florida. He finished with two doubles and three runs batted in and a run scored. Behind the plate, Labbe displayed solid defensive schools with the ability to pocket the baseball and block every pitch in the dirt from a traditional stance. The young backstop showed that catchers can still receive well and block and throw from the same position that has been taught for the last 130 years while working under the baseball. 


Kooper Benoit (2026, Groves, Texas) threw a gem for Team Texas in relief as the 6-foot, 197-pound right-handed pitcher got the win. With Texas losing 3-0 to Team Iowa, Benoit started the bottom of the third inning and threw five no-hit innings as Texas came from behind for a 6-3 victory. He finished with nine strikeouts and allowed only one walk with a fastball up to 82 mph and mixed a curveball in the 65-70 mph range to keep Iowa the hitters off balance at the plate. Great performance from Benoit as Texas looks to advance in the 14U bracket.  


Beau Peterson (2026, Shawnee, Kan.), a 6-foot-1, 180-pound left-handed hitter, was 2-for-5 at the plate with two singles for Team Midwest as they finished 0-1-1 in two games on day one of the 14U National All-State Select Championship. Peterson, a right-handed thrower, played third base in game one and pitched two innings in game two and ran the fastball up to 80 mph. The Nebraska commit showed arm strength across the diamond which translated to the bump with a tight-breaking slider in the 68-70 mph range as a secondary offering. Talented two-way player that moves around the field with a big left-handed bat. 


Gage Petrutz (2026, Mantua, N.J.), a 5-foot-7, 145-pound right-handed hitter, went 4-for-5 at the plate for Team Northeast over two games on day one of the tournament. Petrutz showed barrel awareness in the box with two triples and two singles while spraying the ball all over the field. He also scored three runs with aggressive baserunning as Team Northeast looks to break into the win column on day two. 


Jael Castillo (2026, Wake Forest, N.C.), a long and lean left-handed pitcher that looks bigger than his listed size, showed a clean arm action on the mound and repeatable delivery. Pitching in the 13U bracket for Team Coastal, Castillo struck out seven in three scoreless innings. Fastball up to 74 mph with a breaking ball in the 61-63 mph range with late break from a projectable frame and solid mechanics. 
 
-Jason Phillips
Colton Haire (2026, Apex, N.C) turned in an excellent day at that plate as he went 3-for-3 and drove in four runs during Coastal’s rout in their first game Saturday afternoon. At the plate, the switch-hitting Haire deploys a simple approach with a narrow setup from both sides, before turning it loose with hand-eye coordination, feel for the barrel, and torque to drive hard contact to all fields. A good athlete, Haire, is already a highly-ranked shortstop in the class, and displayed why today, regularly showcasing first step quickness, feel for the leather, and a strong, accurate arm across the diamond.
 

Corwin Allard (2026, Ladera Ranch, Calif.) hit himself up the top performers list Saturday after a hot start to the weekend, as he collected a hit in both games of California’s doubleheader, ending with a 2-for-6 day from the three-hole in the lineup. At the plate, Allard uses his 6-foot-1 frame to his advantage, staying tall in the box as he tracks pitches to the plate. Allard swings hard and generates excellent torque, along with his advanced barrel control that allows him to spray hard hit contact to all fields. Allard capitalized with runners on base all afternoon, tallying five RBI through the two games. A sound defender, Allard makes for a big target at first, and has demonstrated feel for the leather with ability to make all plays around the bag.
 

Christopher Moore (2026, Covington, Wash.) quickly displayed why he is ranked as the top prospect in his home state as he performed well in all phases Saturday at East Cobb. A highly-ranked shortstop, Moore has clean actions in the infield with feel for the glove and a strong accurate arm across the diamond that produces throws with carry through the bag. At the plate, Moore starts with an open stance, and steps to square for timing as his head stays still, tracking pitches towards the plate. Moore’s level-to-high bat plane displays good speed as he displays the ability to connect with pitches out front with good extension. Moore also pitched three innings for his club where he did not allow a hit, collected a strikeout, and mixed his three-pitch repertoire for strikes. Moore’s best pitches were a fastball he ran up to 81 mph, and a curveball with depth and bottom in the 60s.
 

Mills Carrillo (2026, Wesley Chapel, Fla.) is a 5-foot-11, 151-pound, highly-ranked right-handed pitcher in the 2026 class, as well as a top-10 prospect in his home state. Carrillo proved why he’s been receiving high praise from our scouts today as he performed well in all phases, driving in a run, and scoring twice offensively, while also working 2 2/3 innings of one-hit baseball where he struck out two and walked none. On the mound, Carrillo works with fluid mechanics, and showcased a fastball sitting in the low-80s, high of 83 mph, and a curveball with feel and depth in the low-70s. Carrillo has advanced feel of his repertoire on the mound, and filled the zone 70% of the time with his mix, an impressive feat for such a young arm.

Sammy Kane (2026, Carmichael, Calif.) is ranked as a top-30 shortstop in his graduating class and showcased why as he drove in three runs at the dish, scored a run, and walked during his first game of the afternoon. At the plate, Kane, a right-handed hitter, starts square with a large step for timing. Kane does a nice job keeping his hands and weight loaded on his backside as he tracks pitches to the plate. When he gets a pitch he can handle, Sammy has the ability to shoot his hips and hands through the zone, leading to loud, barreled contact, mostly to the pull side. On the mound, Kane earned the start for California today, during their tournament opener and worked into the fifth, piling up eight strikeouts, allowing just three hits and no earned runs over that span. To work through his assignment, Kane deployed a repertoire of a fastball up to 83 mph with some run down in the zone, and a curveball in the mid- to upper-60s, with depth, feel, and the ability to locate it in the zone repeatedly for strikes.
 

Jack Portman (2025, Kinnelon, N.J.) is a tall and strong 5-foot-10, 162-pound right-handed pitcher and utility ballplayer who performed well in all phases today at East Cobb. Portman’s bat would be the big story as he hit himself into 10th on the daily top performer list, leaving the yard via a home run in his first game of the day, while driving in two runs. At the plate, Portman displays plenty of twitch in the box, as he stays loose with good actions, and a good combination of bat speed and barrel control which leads to plenty of loft and carry on his hard hit results. Jack would also appear on the mound in a relief appearance, pitching two innings, recording a strikeout, and mixing his two-pitch repertoire for strikes, consisting of a fastball up to 75 mph, and a curveball in the upper-60s.


Josh Murray (2025, Middleburg, Fla.) is an uber-athletic outfielder and right-handed pitcher who stands at 5-foot-7, 140 pounds. Already a highly-ranked outfielder in the class, Murray reached base in each game of his club’s doubleheader Saturday, as he also scored a run, drove in a run, and stole a base in each game as well. Speed is a definite carry tool for Josh as he can be seen garnering nice first-step quickness, clean jumps, and underway speed on the bases. At the plate, Murray displays a table-setter type approach, and capitalizes time and again with good rhythm and timing, and a quick, direct swing path through the zone that meets pitches out front with nice extension.

Miguel Sime (2025, Queens Village, N.Y.) is a highly-ranked prospect in his home state and a highly-ranked right-handed pitcher in the class, and proved why, turning in the highest fastball velocity reading of the day at 86 mph. Miguel got the call to the mound this afternoon for one batter in which he capitalized on his assignment and ended the at-bat in a strikeout. Using only fastballs, Sime pounded the strike zone, proving too much for his opponent to handle. Since Sime used only six pitches on Saturday, we will be able to see him again tomorrow on the mound for the Northeast club.

14u East Spring Opener Scout Notes
Perfect Game Staff

Roman Keister (2030, Dade City, FL) Could not miss the barrel this weekend tallying 6 hits including 2 triples and 4 RBI. Starts the load early and controls his body well, the up the middle approach really plays in game. Also worked from off the mound for an inning and picked up a punch out.  Colton Russo (2030, Coral Springs, FL) Showed off the power burning outfielders all weekend. 5 hits including two triples that carried over the CF and RF heads. Has a good understanding about using the lower half in the swing and the bat to ball skills really impressed.  Karson Blakney (2030, St. Augustine, FL) Made his impact in a big way this week, collecting the win in the quarterfinals. In his outing he went 5 shutout innings and struck out 5 while only allowing 2 hits. Worked in the mid 70s with the FB and topped out at 78. Also produced on offense driving in 5 RBI on 4 hits. ...

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors.

Lennex Minor (‘28 CA) absolutely destroys this offering to the PS for a 2-run shot. 2-4 on the day w/ 4 driven in. Athletic in the box w/ a quick stroke and strength throughout the frame. Also closed out the game running the FB up to 88 in a St. Bernard win #PGHS @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/KF7BsKGcm7 — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) March 29, 2026 Lennex Minor, MIF/P, St. Bernard (2028) Minor had a massive day in my look this past Saturday in a game being played at the University of San Diego.  The sophomore had a pair of hits, one which was a no-doubt homer, and drove in four.  Minor’s athleticism jumps out on the field with twitchy actions both at the dish and in the dirt.  He features a 6-foot, 170-pound frame with room to add and generates from a strong lower half and exceptionally quick hands.  Showing two-way potential, he made an...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
