Jeff Winchester helps coach the 2029 team. His younger son plays.

This reminded me to check up on how his son is doing at Air Force. Played in 5 games last year as a freshman. But this, from his bio, is pretty fricking cool:

I believe Nate Alario from Curtis is on one of the Dodgers scout teams, too. And a kid Schieffler from Shaw that started out at Brother Martin.

In the past they would have some cali kids on there , it was mainly LA kids this year. Jack Cressend , knights owner and LA dodgers National pitcher cross checker runs the team . In general , Jupiter has lost some steam with the top players playing, like in the past. East coast pro, area code, perfect game all American, prep all American are the big scouted events .

---

yea surprised not as many cali kids.

but yea area code and east coast seem to be the biggest for the very top names at least in the senior class. Still lots of top 2027 kids. most of the usa prime 2027 kids played. the top 2028s played too.


as far as my comment on rosters, I meant no way to search all of them by state of player. you can do team by team like you did but I dont have that much time really.

That's not an incredibly talented roster. Scrappy, not untalented, but doesn't wow me. Who do the other big fish in Louisiana play for?

other lsu guys that played in this years WWBA. most guys didn't play as they made their bones at previous WWBA's and attended the PG national showcase and the PG All American classic this past July then shut it down. If you have a 9.5 or 10 rating and and are committed to LSU, not much to gain by playing and spending the money on the travel. But a could guys did..

2026

-Logan Schmidt- did not pitch but did hit, went 3-12 with a double & 3ks

-Parker Loew- 5-15 with a double, triple & HR. 3ks

-Jordan Martinez- played with MBA Scout- went 5-11 with 2 HRs 3Ks

- Wessley Roberson- played with Canes National/Mets Scout team- 3-11 with a double & 3ks

- Dylan Minnatee- played with mlb breakthrough & went 3-10 w/ triple, 1K

- Will Adams- played with Brewers Scout Team & went 7-14, 4 doubles, 6 rbis, 2Ks

- Colton Christman - played with east coast sox. 3IP, 2H, 1BB, 0ER.

- Luke Tucker- played with Royals Scout team, 0-5, 4ks, 2BB

- Masen Belding- played with Ohio Warhawks, 1-7 w/2Ks



ill have to do 2027s in a little while. It takes a while as I have to look up each name individually

He's interesting to me. He doesn't seem to be getting the draft love that some of our previous catcher commits have. But he played this summer in the Pacific Empire League, which is a pretty decent collegiate summer league, that has some SEC guys in it. He held his own, especially for a rising HS senior at a difficult position.

---

yea he has struggled at WWBA events. Has attended 3 times and only hit over 200 once and it was 0.214. But he is also 6-2 215. That is hard to teach. and like you said, he has looked good in other non PG events.

He is one of the guys I think they like as a true defensive catcher that they feel has potential with the bat due to size and movement patterns. I mean he did have like 8 HRs last year in Cali HS ball.

Off the topic a little bit..... Is there any news this year about updating The Box? Is the bullpen under the bleachers?Just temporarily right now?

The general rule is that if something at the Box appears to be done cheaply and/or quickly for temporary purposes it usually becomes permanent.

See LF bleachers.
