Perfect Game AA

Preseason Two-Way Player of the Year: Jac Caglianone, TWP, Florida
Arguably the biggest story in the sport a year ago was the emergence of Caglianone for the Gators, who frequently drew comparisons to Shohei Ohtani and is our pick for Two-Way Player of the Year. Caglianone has a couple of 80 grade tools on the card, his power and his fastball. It’s light-tower power as he crushed 33 homers last year and his BP is must-watch TV while the heater will touch triple digits at times. He’s a unicorn in college baseball and the Gators’ two-way star is the only returning Golden Spikes finalist in the sport.

First Team Hitters (SEC Only)

Third Base: Tommy White, LSU
Tommy Tanks became a household name in his true freshman season at NC State, and he followed up that campaign with a 100+ RBI season and a national championship for LSU. Power is the calling card here and White is among the nation’s best longball artists, launching 24 in 2023 to give him 51 for his career. White is an electric hitter when he’s on a hot streak and the likely first-rounder will look to lead LSU back to another title in 2024.

Outfield: Braden Montgomery, Texas A&M
If Chase Burns was the biggest name in the transfer portal then Braden Montgomery is probably on equal footing, as he shockingly departed Stanford and will be spending his draft year in College Station. Montgomery has a silky smooth swing from both sides of the plate and OPS’d over 1.000 with seventeen home runs for the Cardinal last year. He’s got an absolute cannon from the outfield and should pitch some too. Montgomery is another name on this list with top ten draft and Golden Spikes upside.

Outfield: Ethan Petry, South Carolina
Petry was a sensation in his true freshman campaign as a still-eighteen year old, eventually leading to Freshman of the Year honors in the process. He OPS’d north of 1.100 and crushed 23 home runs, leading the Gamecocks to the Gainesville Super Regional. Petry is a true power hitter with a big arm from right field and is one of the top prospects in the country for the 2025 MLB Draft.

Designated Hitter: Charlie Condon, Georgia
It was a breakout 2023 campaign for Condon who had a slugging percentage of .800 and crushed 25 home runs for the Bulldogs. Condon is among the nation’s most prolific power hitters, leaving the yard with consistency and frequency while the batted ball numbers are among the best in the country. He’s a likely first round pick and one that could go very early come July’s draft.


First Team Pitchers (SEC Only)

Starting Pitcher: Hagen Smith, Arkansas
Smith jumped around in terms of role a little bit for the Hogs in 2023, as Smith figures to be Arkansas’ biggest weapon on the mound in 2024. It’s electric from the left side with an upper-90s fastball and a wipeout breaking ball. The walks got a little high last year but in terms of competitiveness and overall stuff, Smith ranks among the best in the nation.
