College Midseason All American Awards

Vincent Cervino
Craig Cozart
We are seven weeks into the college baseball season and have reached the midway point of the year. So, with that being said, we are excited to roll out our awards for the players, teams and coaches who have excelled so far in 2023. One of the top storylines for much of the season has been No 1 LSU living up to their lofty expectations and the SEC dominating much of the Top-10 in our rankings throughout. The Tigers have put on a parade of elite level arms, game changing defensive skills and of course, one of the most potent offenses in recent history. They are currently (24-4) and have yet to drop a series and have done so in dominant fashion for most of the schedule. The scary thing is that they are just now starting to hit on all cylinders. So, based on their body of work thus far and the wealth of talent in all aspects of the game, the LSU Tigers are our Perfect Game 2023 Midseason Team of the Year.

Coming into the 2023 season as the consensus favorite to be the first pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, it would be hard for any mere mortal to perform beyond expectations. But that is precisely what LSU centerfielder Dylan Crews has done for the first 28 games of the year. He is currently carrying an incredible BA% of .543 while slugging .947 and by the way he reaches base over two-thirds of the time he comes to the plate. He has walked over twice as many times as he has punched out and yet he has collected 11 doubles, 9 home runs and driven in 35 RBIs. He has also thrown in 3 stolen bases and plays a Gold Glove caliber centerfield for good measure. Crews was the obvious choice for Perfect Game’s Midseason Player of the Year.



The Midseason Pitcher of the Year goes to none other than Paul Skenes, who is putting together the type of year that has scouts and pundits across the nation saying he may be the best to ever wear a college jersey. The 6-6/235 RHP is the clear-cut ace for the LSU Tigers and virtually guarantees his club starts off every series with a victory. With a fastball that regularly registers 100 mph readings and has even peaked at 102, Skenes is a strike throwing machine and carries his best stuff deep into games. In his 7 starts this season, he is 5-0 with a minuscule ERA of 0.81 over his 44.1 IP thus far. He has only allowed 19 hits all season and even more impressive that he has only surrendered 3 extra base hits all year. Teams have only scored 4 runs against him all told, and he possesses a mind-blowing 83:8 strike out to walk ratio.

There have been a multitude of freshman across the nation putting together amazing season, but none have impressed like Ethan Petry, infielder for the University of South Carolina. The 6-4/230 right-handed hitter has been right in the middle of his team’s immense power surge as they lead the nation in home runs. Petry’s slash line is .442/.856/.496 through 29 games played and he has taken his performance to another level in SEC play. With 4 doubles, 13 home runs and having driven in 42 runs, Ethan Petry in our Perfect Game Midseason Freshman of the Year.

Boston College has been arguably the most surprising and impressive story of the 2023 season and because of their record setting season through 26 games, Mike Gambino is our Midseason Coach of the Year. The Eagles currently sit in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division in the ACC and reached the 20-win plateau faster than any previous team to wear the BC uniform. Beyond that, for the first time in program history, they have won each of the first four conference serie they’ve played this year. They are also ranked No. 7 in this week’s Perfect Game Top-25 poll, meaning they are the second highest ranked team in their league.

2026 Staff Picks: College Edition
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
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...

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
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...

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

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...
