Class of 2024 Tourney AA Team

The 2023 circuit was a busy one all over the country. Prospects all over showed off their tools and made names for themselves. They took the field all over the country and were able to put together some pretty memorable performances overall. The big year in 2023 makes it fun to think about how 2024 could be an even bigger year on the tournament circuit. 

In this piece, we will take a look at some of the statistical standouts from the 2024 class. These are this school year’s seniors, the ones who may hear their name called in next summer’s draft, compete for a state title this spring, and head to campus next fall, continuing their journey with a collegiate program.  



As these players across the country head into their final spring of prep ball, let’s take a look back at this summer’s top performers as we break down the top hitters and pitchers on the Class of 2024 Tournament All-American selections. 

In total, between the first and second teams of hitters and pitchers, 34 of these players were at PG National, showing off their stuff. Seventeen of those pitching and hitting prospects were also named to the PG All-American Classic rosters last summer, speaking to an awe-inspiring year of performances. That’s not all, though. All of these prospects showed out and pieced together some good performances between the white lines on both sides of the ball. 

Leading the way in terms of All-Tournament Team Selections was Aiden Otano (Nevada), who earned an astounding 17 All-Tournament Team honors on the circuit in 2023. This includes two different MVP performances along the way. Ryan Costello (New Jersey) took home the honors nine times as the next highest on the list. After that, Alex Hernandez (Georgia) and  Jake Meadows (Florida) earned ATT honors eight times.  

With that in mind, let’s hand out some Player and Pitcher of the Year Honors. 



Player of the Year: Hunter Carns 

When it comes to the 2023 Tournament Player of the Year, Jacksonville, Florida’s Hunter Carns takes home the honors. He put together one of the best years amongst all 2024 prospects and certainly made some noise all year long, capping things off with an extremely loud performance this fall at the WWBA Championship in Jupiter. Carns hit .316 with a 1.082 OPS on the year, with six doubles, three triples, and nine home runs. He drove in 45 runs and also swiped 21 bags on the season. The Florida State Seminoles commit was named to six All-Tournament Teams this year. This fall in Jupiter, Carns really stood out. His performance earned him Most Valuable Player honors. He was barreling up balls left and right and had his 115 mph home run that made some serious noise. Carns had quite the year, and he’ll add 17U Tournament All-American & Player of the Year to his honors as well. 



Pitcher of the Year: Eli Buxton 

On the other side of things, a ton of arms logged quality outing after quality outing. But, for our 2023 Tournament Pitcher of the Year Honors, it is Eli Buxton out of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Buxton logged 35.0 innings pitched this year on the circuit, where he pitched to a 0.20 ERA and a 0.37 WHIP. He was downright dominant on the bump, allowing just 14 hits while striking out 56 opposing hitters. He was named to six All-Tournament Teams on the circuit this past season. He’s got a really lengthy and loose 6-foot-6, 185-pound frame. The Arizona State commit has been up to 90 mph on the fastball, with a gorgeous swing-and-miss slider and feel for a changeup. With that three-pitch mix, it was easy to see how Buxton had success this year, mowing down opposing hitters, outing after outing. Buxton takes home, Pitcher of the Year honors as he heads into his final spring of prep ball.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 4

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover. The event was littered with talent and these rankings reflect just that. St. John Bosco (CA) holds onto the first spot in this update and are being pushed by an IMG Academy (FL) team that’s 8-0 after winning the High School Showdown as well as beating two preseason top-10 teams in the first few weeks of the season.

March 3 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Cider Canon, OF, Duke  The Duke Blue Devils (11-3) went through massive changes in the offseason, with a new coaching staff and heavy roster turnover like is often seen in the college game today.  That hasn’t held them back as they have kind of flown under the radar on their way to a tie for the most wins in the nation.  They won 4 out 5 games last week and Cider Canon was the driving force behind their offensive onslaught.  The 5-11/180 outfielder from San Marino, CA put together an incredible week collecting 9 hits in 14 at-bats, good for a .643 BA, scoring 7 runs, with 3 walks, 4 home runs and driving in a total of 10 runs.  After a successful couple years at Davidson College, Cider made the trip north to Durham and has fit right into the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense.  For the season, he is...
