14u Georgia Super25 Quick Hits

Vincent Cervino
Grant Taylor, RHP/1B, (2021, Florence, Ala.) stole the show again thanks to his power right arm. Taylor started the championship game and worked 89-91 mph early on with a fastball that showed good life. The delivery is simple and Taylor generates great extension toward the plate. He showed three pitches including a tight SL and hard CH both in the upper-70s. Taylor showed good strength at the plate as well with the ability to impact balls with strength through impact and create backspin.

Ethan Wood, RHP/1B, (2021, Lebanon, Ky.) came into the event as the highest ranked 2021 prospect in the tournament. Wood worked in the 84-87 mph range early in the game with a long, swinging arm action. There is effort in the delivery but he gets on top consistently and generates good effective velocity as the ball explodes on hitters. The size and projection indicate an excellent pitcher's frame now and in the future; Wood provided a strong start opposite Grant Taylor and showed again why he is so highly ranked.

Trace Bufkin, OF/RHP, (2020, Senatobia, Miss.) put together a remarkably impressive tournament in nearly every aspect. Standing at a physical and projectable 6-foot-2, 175-pounds Bufkin has present strength while leaving room to fill out. The swing is fluid through the zone with natural lift to it and he did a good job impacting the ball out in front. Bufkin also showed tools on the mound with a whippy arm action and a lively fastball. The pitch worked in the 80-84 mph range and touched 85 mph and 86 mph a few times. Bufkin oozes tools and potential and will be a player to monitor going forward.

Brady House, SS/RHP, (2021, Winder, Ga.) came home with tournament MVP honors and showed an extremely high ceiling. The talent is there with the bat as he showed a swing that traveled quickly through the hitting zone with very good hand speed. The swing will get long at times, however he is able to still generate hard contact. Most of the batted balls had an exit velocity of at least 90 mph and he showed raw power as well. On the mound he worked in the 82-84 mph with arm side run and showed a very impressive changeup with fade down and to the arm side. The change was his two-strike pitch as he racked up a 50% swing and miss percentage on the pitch. 

Kenneth Mallory Jr., OF, (2021, Lawrenceville, Ga.) showed a lot of raw tools and potential upside as well. Mallory is long and lanky with projection throughout the frame. He has feel for his frame with solid speed already, as he posted a 4.45 second time to first base from the left side. The speed played well on defense where he made a diving catch ranging in earlier in the event. 

Roy "Bubba" Chandler, RHP, (2021, Bogart, Ga.) was yet another projectable righthander up to the low-80s. With long limbs and a high waist, he is able to generate extension toward the plate and repeat his mechanics well. Chandler threw from an extended three-quarter arm slot with a long arm action and had a slight hook through the back. He generated good plane by getting downhill consistently and worked in the 77-81 mph range with his fastball throughout the start. The delivery and effort level were both very easy and he pounded the zone consistently to the tune of seven strikeouts.

Kristian Campbell, SS, (2021, Marietta, Ga.) was one of the few committed players in this event and the future Florida International signee showed high level tools. He showed good athleticism with quick twitch and the ability to range to both sides in the middle infield. The arm strength is still developing and he had a quick compact stroke with natural lift at the plate. 

Matthew Buchanan, OF/LHP, (2021, Lebanon, Va.) pitched in the championship game and showed intriguing tools throughout the event. He showed an explosive fastball in the 80-83 mph range and topping out at 84 mph. The arm worked and showed looseness throughout the arm circle though it was a bit hooked at the point of foot strike. The breaking ball was a bit inconsistent but was effective as a swing and miss pitch with two strikes.

Christian Smith, OF, (2021, Atlanta, Ga.) was the winner of the MVP award in the opposite bracket and showed solid tools and projects well. He will be able to add strength and fill out as he matures physically. Presently the swing will get long at times but he extends the swing well and can impact the ball hard out in front. He hit a home run that left the bat at 88 mph and traveled an estimated 361 feet.

Jason Miller, SS, (2020, Atlanta, Ga.) was another high-level athlete who showed promise. Miller has an athletic build with twitch muscle throughout the projectable frame. The swing was a bit raw but he was looking to hit line drives out in front to create topspin. He showed good lateral movements at short with developing arm strength as well.

Tyler Franks, LHP, (2021, Dublin, Ga.) got the start for Game On Prospects in their semifinal and showed potential on the mound. Franks stands at a tall and lanky 6-foot-4, 180-pounds with good projection throughout the frame. The arm is loose, almost whip-like, and he creates good angle on his pitches with quality extension down the mound. He delivers from a high three-quarter arm slot and the fastball worked in the 79-82 mph range topping out at 83 mph. Franks also mixed in a curveball in the upper-60s.

Dylan Garner, SS, (2020, Concord, Ga.) worked well both as a position player and on the mound. From a pitching standpoint, he worked 78-80 mph with a shorter arm action. The fastball had short, late life to the arm side and he worked the pitch to both sides. He has an athletic frame and showed the ability to hit the ball with power to all fields. Garner worked gap-to-gap with his power and it showed in-game. 

Jaylon Buckley, RHP, (2021, Union, Miss.) worked off the mound during the early portion of the tournament and showed a lively arm. The arm action was long and loose through the back of a full arm circle with a slight wrist wrap. Buckley battled through some inconsistencies with his release point but he also showed a live fastball. The pitch sat 79-81 mph early on and topped out at 82 mph for the outing. 

Andreaus Lewis II, C, (2021, Snellville, Ga.) showed advanced defensive instincts behind the dish. Lewis has a bit smaller of a frame but that does not impede his ability to receive well and handle a pitching staff. Lewis showed an advanced feel to drop and block, always smothering pitches in the dirt. The arm strength is still developing but he showed quick actions and transfers on throw downs.

Michael Taylor, SS/RHP, (2021, Ellaville, Ga.) demonstrated impressive overall athleticism and quick twitch throughout the weekend. At shortstop, Taylor was very smooth showing clean footwork and the ability to throw the ball with arm strength, he worked 79-82 mph on the mound, from multiple slots. He ranged well to both sides and could make plays both in the hole and up the middle. He is still refining the hit tool but he showed promise with the swing being smooth and he can use his legs to beat out some infield hits; he ran 4.57 seconds to first from the left side.

William Turner, OF, (2021, Dothan, Ala.) started in centerfield for the majority of the tournament. He was able to make solid reads on fly balls and has decent arm strength as well. Turner showed solid feel for the barrel of the bat and did a good job at getting the barrel head out in front. He was able to go to all fields and lace line drives in all directions.

Nathan Smith, C/3B, (2021, Thomasville, Ga.) was listed as a primary catcher but played mostly third base for the duration of the tournament. Smith has a very strong, physical frame with strength throughout. The middle-of-the-order presence takes powerful swings with fluidity throughout. He has a pull side approach and is able to impact the ball with strength through the point of contact. Smith also has a very strong arm and made a number of rangy plays to both sides at the hot corner.

Burke Berry, LHP/OF, (2021, Peachtree City, Ga.) showed an impressive skill set from both the mound and at the plate. The arm was easy and quick on the mound and he showed excellent rhythm as he rocked into his delivery. The fastball worked 78-80 mph and topped out at 81 mph. He had some release point issues early on but was able to spot his fastball relatively well and showed a sharp-breaking curveball with 2/10 shape. The swing was easy and would get long at times, but got through the hitting zone relatively clean.

Andrew Armstrong, LHP, (2021, Flowery Branch, Ga.) was awarded MV-Pitcher honors for his performance in the semifinal round. Armstrong has a deceptive arm slot which was lower three-quarter to outright sidearm. The slot allowed him to generate good angle on his pitches. He worked in the upper-70s and touched 80 mph with his fastball a couple of times; the curveball was an effective offspeed that flashed.

Asa Runge, OF/1B, (2021, Chester, N.H.) did not pitch over the weekend but showed some pop from the left side. Runge has a very strong, physical build at 6-foot-1 and 195-pounds and he does a good job at using his frame to generate strength in the swing through his hips. The approach is a power-oriented approach and he is looking to drive the ball in the air to the pull side. He gets his hands into a good launch position that implies he fits nicely into a power profile from the left side.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes
Tyler Kotila
Article Image
Creighton Tuzzio (2024, Clarinda, Iowa) took the ball in the semi-final game and was able to get on the bump and carve for his team. Tuzzio is a taller 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame with plenty to like in the operation. The right-handed pitcher has a slower and more controlled operation as he works through the delivery. He lifts the leg up around the belt and then works through a three-quarters release with good whip through it. The fastball worked up to 86 mph on the fastball and held in the low- to mid-80s. He creates some angle on it with the taller & projectable frame. It runs arm-side and can be a problem for right-handed hitters. He also showed a low-70s curveball with a bigger 11/5 tilt to it and good depth to miss some bats. The Iowa Western commit threw 5.0 innings, allowing just 1 run, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts to his credit.   There’s no surprise here, but...

Michael Flores (2026, NC) looking great through 4 innings pitched with 11 k’s. Great command and completely missing barrels. #2023WWBACoastalSophmoreFallInvatational pic.twitter.com/Oqd3WD0E05 — PG Coastal Scouting (@PG_Coastal) September 24, 2023 Michael Flores (2026, Mooresville, NC) put on an electric performance to watch for the SBA Futures 2026 in their matchup versus the Carolina Reds. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP did his job for his team today to keep them in the game. Flores throws with a high leg lift and creates some good motions towards the plate with his whippy action. Flores has a great feel for the zone and pounded strikes at a 66% rate. Flores generated swing and miss after swing and miss and it was clear he was in control out there on the mound. He sat in the 70-mph range to 79-mph range with his fastball with the ability to pinpoint it wherever he pleased....

James Sherry (’26, Aiken, S.C.)- the 6-foot-1, 155-pound right-handed pitcher tossed a complete game for Xtreme Xposure Baseball-Bennett in an 8-1 win over 2 Way Athletics 16U. A primary outfielder, Sherry finished with 15 strikeouts and just one walk while controlling the zone at a 65% strike rate. Appearing in only his second PG tournament, Sherry turned in another great pitching performance after being selected to the All-Tournament Team at the 2023 16U PG Southeast Labor Day Classic.

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Day 3-5

A high speed look at this 2B from Keon Johnson... #WWBAWorlds @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Ejl8GirIgk pic.twitter.com/ate7ro35cp — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 24, 2023 Keon Johnson (2026, Macon, Ga.) started off the morning loud, going down to get a pitch down and smoking a double that split the opposite field gap at a 92 mph exit velocity. The shortstop has one of the best hit tools in the class and has tremendous feel for the barrel. The swing is quiet and simple, staying loose through the zone. The ball jumps and the parts really work. At short, Johnson looked silky with good actions, range, and plenty of arm strength across. The game comes easy for the Georgia native, and still just 15, the all-around game is very well-refined for the age.  Jaxson Wood (2026, Hoover, Ala.) finished batting .500 over the tournament, including three extra-base hits.

Deep South Fall Invitational Scout Notes

Alex Dorso
Article Image
Patrick Kovacs (2026 Knoxville TN) was dominant in his outing in game two of pool play for Exposure National. The southpaw tossed three scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out eight. He showed plus command of the fastball dotting it to both sides of the plate while working off the corners at times. Patrick sat 75-78 topping at 79 multiple times throughout. He mixed in a tight breaking ball with two plane movement that he had no problem mixing in any count keeping the opposing hitters off balanced in the box. Coming from a mid 3/4s slot there was some deception within the operation making it tough to pick the fastball up out of the hand. The frame has plenty of athleticism within with plenty of more room for additional strength as he continues to mature. Kovacs should be a fun follow as he continues to progress through high school. Ryan Riojas (‘26 TN) drives this...

The big and physical 6-foot-4, 210-pound arm threw a complete game, seven inning, one-hit shutout, striking out 13 and walking one. The fastball had downhill life to it, sitting in the 85-88 range for the entirety of the game. Garrison held the velocity and reached back for his fastest bullet of the game, at 89, in the seventh inning. Finishing the outing with 70% strikes, he filled up the zone and went right at hitters. He also induced swing-and-miss on a curveball, featuring late...

Northeast Qualifier Scout Notes

Jack Harley (2024, Mendham, NJ) put together a dominant performance at the plate in the WWBA NEQ, leading his team to a coveted Jupiter bid while also earning MVP-honors. The 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter showcased his advanced bat-to-ball skills on several occasions. He batted .643 with two doubles, a home run and six stolen bases. Harley utilizes a repeatable, synced-up stroke with clean separation into launch. He has a great feel for the barrel and creates good strength at impact to all parts of the diamond. The future Hokie recorded a hit in all six of his games and proved to be a reliable bat at the top-of-the-order for Clubhouse 2024 EvoShield. Harley’s build offers a good balance of strength and athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect with intriguing upside moving forward.  .#VandyBoys commit Aiden O’Connell (‘24, NH) is back on the bump in the #NEQ...

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Vincent Cervino

Nathan Caldwell (2026, Columbia, S.C.) looked the part in the batter’s box as the Team Elite three-hole hitter had one of the hardest hit balls of the day. There’s really impressive bat speed and the ability to create violence and rotational acceleration through contact. He missiled a single during the game and there looks like there’s going to be pretty significant impact potential long term. He’s a strong kid with good indicators and offensive tools to like. Drew Borkowski (2026, Huntley, Ill.) showed plenty to like in the arm as he got the start in game one on the day for GRB. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds he’s got a lanky frame with long limbs and plenty of room for physical projection. It’s a quick arm with solid arm speed throughout and he opened up sitting 85-87 mph with the fastball. The fastball showed good sinking life and he used it to get a lot...
