Vote now: Who has been the best freshman high school baseball player in the country in 2023?

Last month we featured 20 freshmen across the country who have made a big impression on the diamond this high school baseball season.

Now we're giving you, the reader, the chance to vote for the high school baseball player you think has been the best this season as a freshman.

Voting will conclude Tuesday, May 16, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

Write-ups on each player are below the poll.

Wilson Andersen, Jesuit (Florida)

A power arm from the right side, Andersen has touched 94 miles per hour with his fastball this spring. He is a good all-around athlete who is also a standout hitter and middle infielder.

Braxton Beaty, Angleton (Texas)

Beaty was an early 2026 commitment for LSU, which signed the top classes nationally in 2021 and 2022 under head coach Jay Johnson. Beaty, a left-hander, is a strikeout machine who threw a one-hitter with 13 punch-outs against Texas City in late March.

Coleman Borthwick, South Walton (Florida)

Borthwick has been dominant at the plate and on the mound this season. The Auburn commit is hitting .467 with 39 RBIs and three home runs, and as a pitcher he's 5-0 with a 0.85 ERA and 62 strikeouts.

Deion Cole, Etowah (Georgia)

Cole possesses easy power in his bat from the right side of the plate. In the field, Cole has the ability to play every infield and outfield position.

Bubba Coleman, Buford (Georgia)

Coleman, another LSU commit, had a four-hit game for Buford earlier this season. He is a good contact hitter from the right side who also has plenty of power.

Christian Doty, Lausanne Collegiate (Tennessee)

During the week of April 3-8, Doty went a combined 7 for 12 with a double, a home run and four stolen bases. The Ole Miss commit is a natural shortstop who can play multiple positions.

Trey Ebel, Etiwanda (California)

The son of Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Dino Ebel, Trey Ebel has been a freshman sensation for Etiwanda. Trey and his brother, sophomore Brady Ebel, had four hits apiece in an early-season win over Foothill.

Grady Emerson, Argyle (Texas)

Emerson, a TCU commit, is an elite defensive shortstop with a premium hit tool. In mid-March, he went a combined 9 for 17 during a week of games with four doubles and two home runs.

Bradyn Garner, West Monroe (Louisiana)

Garner has a good fastball as a left-handed pitcher and has shown the ability to make batters miss during his freshman season for reigning Class 5A state champion West Monroe. Garner is committed to LSU.

Alex Harrington, Cathedral Catholic (California)

Harrington is a five-tool player who is a power arm from the right side and a standout middle infielder. Harrington and his twin brother, Hunter, are committed to Stanford. The Harringtons are also star football players.

Brady Harris, Trinity Christian Academy (Florida)

A Florida commit, Harris went 4 for 5 with a double in a victory earlier this season over Viera. Harris hits for power and average as a right-hander.

Chandler Hart, Allen (Texas)

The 6-foot-5 Hart is already touching 90 miles per hour with his fastball from the left side. In his first 35 1/3 innings of the season, Hart struck out 57 with a 0.59 ERA.

Keon Johnson, First Presbyterian Day (Georgia)

Arguably the top shortstop in a loaded class of infielders, Johnson is a smooth-fielding ninth-grader with a ton of pop in his bat. He is also a power pitcher, but Johnson’s future in baseball will be as a position player.

Brady Murrietta, Orange Lutheran (California)

Arguably the best defensive catcher in his class, Murrietta has also been dangerous at the plate as a freshman. The Texas commit can hit for power and average from the right side.

Beau Peterson, Mill Valley (Kansas)

A three-sport star, Peterson is another catching prospect who swings a loud bat as a right-handed hitter. The Nebraska commit is also a power pitcher with a nasty slider.

Kevin Roberts Jr., Jackson Prep (Mississippi)

Roberts Jr. has stayed busy this spring for Jackson Prep, competing in baseball and track and field. The 6-foot-4 phenom is also a star basketball player with Division I offers from Miami and South Carolina. Roberts Jr. pitches and plays shortstop.

Kruz Schoolcraft, Sunset (Oregon)

The nation’s No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2026 Perfect Game rankings, Schoolcraft is already a star pitcher for one of the top Class 6A programs in Oregon. The 6-foot-6 lefty fired a no-hitter with nine strikeouts and a walk earlier this season.

Rookie Shepard, Faith Lutheran (Nevada)

Checking in at No. 1 in Perfect Game’s Class of 2026 rankings is Shepard, an electric athlete who runs the 60-yard dash in under 6.6 seconds. Shepard, a Miami commit, can play infield and outfield and bats leadoff for Faith Lutheran.

Jaxson Wood, Hoover (Alabama)

Wood has demonstrated the ability to spray the ball to all fields this spring for Hoover. The Tennessee commit plays shortstop.

Quentin Young, Oaks Christian (California)

The nephew of former MLB All-Star Dmitri Young, Quentin Young has one of the highest ceilings in the class of 2026. The 6-foot-4 Young is an advanced hitter for his age.
