The newest Perfect Game All‑American list spotlights two standout high school players who have pledged to join Florida State's baseball program next fall, bringing a blend of elite pitching and dynamic hitting to the Seminoles' roster.
Perfect Game All‑American Selections
Brayden Harris, a right‑handed pitcher from St. John's Country Day in Orange Park, earned first‑team honors after a senior season that saw him post a 1.07 earned‑run average over 85 innings while striking out 526 batters. His career ERA sits at 1.33 across 295 innings, underscoring a consistency that has drawn attention from scouts and college coaches alike.
Landon Thome, an infielder from the same Orange Park school, secured second‑team recognition after batting .535 with seven home runs, eight triples and a 1.676 OPS during his final high school campaign. He also stole 49 bases in 50 attempts, showcasing a blend of power and speed that makes him a versatile threat at the plate and on the bases.
Both athletes are slated to be eligible for the 2026 MLB Draft, a prospect that adds a layer of excitement for Florida State fans who are already anticipating how the duo could reshape the program's on‑field dynamics. Their arrivals are expected to bolster pitching depth and add a potent middle‑order presence, potentially accelerating the team's climb in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
A New Era for Seminole Baseball
The addition of Harris and Thome signals a strategic push by the coaching staff to infuse the lineup with high‑caliber talent that can compete nationally. As the program looks to build on recent successes, the pair's collegiate debuts will be closely watched by analysts eager to gauge how quickly they can translate high school dominance into college performance.
