16u PG World Series: Daily Leaders | Player Stats

There were strong performances across the board that led the Scorpions to the championship game in the 15u PG World Series, and C.J. Kayfus (2019, Greenwood Village, Colo.) was a bat that has stood out for them. In addition to tossing a complete game shutout in the quarterfinals, and reaching as high as 81 mph with the fastball, Kayfus has been a steady force in the middle of the lineup. He has a lean and athletic build, with plenty of room to add strength to increase the future power. The swing is pretty smooth through the zone and he gets it through quickly and on plane. Kayfus is looking to drive the ball to both gaps and generated a lot of line drive contact throughout the week.

The hero for the eventual 15u PG World Series champion Team Elite, Austin Hendrick (2020, Oakdale, Pa.) yet again showed why he is one of the most dynamic prospects in the class. The display was impressive as he was a part of the team’s comeback in the semifinal game, 101 mph single to keep the two-out rally alive, along with starting the championship on the mound and having the biggest hit of the tournament. In the middle innings, Hendrick blasted a grand slam to make the lead insurmountable; the slam traveled over the scoreboard in right-center field and left the bat at 96 mph while traveling an estimated 381 feet. The stuff on the mound was also impressive with his fastball and changeup combination. The fastball worked up to 87 mph while sitting comfortably in the low- to mid-80s, however the changeup was a real weapon for him against batters of the opposite handedness. Hendrick earned the win with 4 2/3 innings pitched while limiting the opposition to only five hits.

One of the early playoff games for the 16u PG World Series had to go to extra innings, and that made the outing by Davis Rokose (2019, Johns Creek, Ga.) even more impressive than it already was. The Team GA/MBA lefthander was tremendous by firing eight innings while only allowing one-run and punching out nine batters. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound southpaw is a bit shorter on the mound but he is well proportioned throughout the build with still room to add strength to the frame. Rokose has a very simple and repeatable delivery with a clean arm path through the point of release. He creates good angle on his fastball and although the pitch is true in life, he commanded it well along with maintaining his velocity well throughout his time on the mound; Rokose worked 84-87 mph early on and settled in the 82-85 mph range throughout. He showed very good pitchability by mixing speeds and using his entire arsenal whenever he needed big outs. Rokose showed a short slider to go along with a changeup as well.

Brett Thomas (2019, Atlanta, Ga.) came on in relief for the 643 DP Cougars and showed very promising tools on the mound. Thomas has an extra large frame on the mound, listed at 6-foot-5 and 220-pounds, and was recently up to 91 mph a couple of days ago during this event. He was up to 88 mph on Saturday and showed an over-the-top release point with a crossfire element to his landing foot. The combination of his arm slot and his height allow him to create excellent downhill plane to both sides of the plate when leveraged to the lower third of the strike zone. Thomas’ confidence in the curveball stood out and the 12-to-6 breaker showed consistent shape and was a good weapon.

Another Team GA/MBA pitcher who turned in an excellent start was Blake Wehunt (2019, Carnesville, Ga.) as he turned in a complete game shutout during the quarterfinals late on Saturday afternoon. Wehunt is a very large and physical righthander, listed at 6-foot-5, 212-pounds and he uses that size and the length of his lower half to generate very impressive extension down the mound to help his stuff play up. The arm action is long through the back but when he gets on top of the ball he is able to create heavy plane that complements the haevy life on his fastball well. Wehunt looked to create weak groundball contact and he often did as the groundouts were his best wasy to get outs on Saturday. He would pick up strikeouts due to the nature of his stuff, racked up four, and he also showed off-speed pitches that flashed quality potential. The Team GA/MBA pitching staff has been nails through the early part of the playoffs and that looks to be the strength of the team heading into the semifinals.




Primary infielder Nasim Nunez (2019, Lawrenceville, Ga.) got an inning on the mound during Team Elite’s consolation game on Saturday afternoon and showed very interesting potential, especially considering that he did not throw at the PG Junior National Showcase. Nunez has a smaller frame at 5-foot-9, 145-pounds but is an outstanding athlete with twithy actions all across the diamond. The athleticism and overall build allowed him to create excellent arm speed which saw his fastball be run up to 92 mph. The Clemson commit attacked hitters primarily with the fastball that flashed life to the arm side on occasion and worked in the 88-92 mph range throughout his time on the mound. Nunez also showed a big breaking curveball that had quality depth and could be thrown for strikes.

Taj Bradley (2018, Stone Mountain, Ga.) is another player who has been detailed in the past, however he showed good velocity in earning the save for East Cobb in the quarterfinals. The physical prospect stands at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds with present physicality and strength as well as the room to add more as he continues to develop. The arm was quick and the arm strength played extremely well. He only threw around ten pitches during his outing but he sat 90-92 mph throughout. The velocity was enough to blow by hitters and he wasn’t afraid to work up in the zone to get opposing hitters to chase.

One of the top prospects in the country, no. 39 overall for the class, Dylan Simmons (2019, Jacksonville, Fla.) had a big day at the plate and was a big reason why the Scorpions advanced to championship day. The Florida State commit stands at a very physical 6-foot-3, 210-pounds with well-proportioned strength and physicality throughout. He is certainly an imposing figure in the batter's box and he showed exactly why with a long home run during the quarterfinals. The ball was blasted 363 feet and left the bat at 94 mph. Simmons has excellent bat speed at the plate with the ability to leverage well throughout his lower half. The approach is geared exactly for hitting home runs and the home run also showed the jump he can create off the bat with tremendous strength through the point of contact. Simmons showed all the makings of a dangerous power hitter at the next level and has performed well all summer. 

The D Las Vegas advanced to the semifinals and Reese Trahey (2018, West Bloomfield, Mich.) had a lot to do with that. He tossed five shutout innings on the mound working very quickly with a fastball that sat in the low-80s, however the offensive profile is very interesting. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound outfielder looks like a Major Leaguer out there and the frame is indicative of power as he continues to fill out. The swing itself is short and simple, with an easy trigger to the ball with little separation. The plane of the swing is naturally lofted and he shows good bat speed through the hitting zone. Trahey has been hitting throughout the tournament, batting around .400, and the no. 3 hitter in the lineup has shown why he has earned that position in the lineup. Trahey is young for the 2018 class and is a quality uncommitted outfielder, with two-way potential, still available on the market.

Landon Sims (2019, Cumming, Ga.) has made his presence known on the mound while being up to 94 mph in Perfect Game events, but he is continuing to impress me more and more with the bat. The Mississppi State commit has impressing strength and solid bat speed. Sims hit a high home run to left field in his first at-bat Saturday that left his barrel at 93 mph and traveled 334 feet. Sims is an interesting two-way player who goes about his business with high energy.

Clayton Weatherly (2019, Phenix City, Ala.) started for the Home Plate Chili Dogs and showed potential as he continues to grow. Listed at 6-foot-4, 190-pounds and realistically smaller than that, Weatherly is very projectable and already shows solid velocity on the mound. The Alabama native sat 87-88 mph and touched 89 from the windup, while the velocity dropped to the 84-85 mph range from the stretch. Weatherly throws from a high three-quarters delivery with short arm action and a slight crossfire delivery. He creates plane although the fastball is mostly straight. He mixed a curveball that showed potential as well in the low-to mid-70s. Weatherly is uncommitted, but projects to be able to play at the next level especially if he matures the way I believe he will.

Jackson Arnold (2019, Auburn, Ala.) is not overly physical at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, but his arm is impressively quick. The ball seems to explode out of his hand with his loose arm action. He came in in relief of Weatherly and tossed one inning and sat 88-91 with his fastball. He only threw fastballs in his one inning of work, but the fastball did show occasional riding life from a high three-quarters slot. Arnold gets solid extension for his size and threw to all quadrants of the strike zone without too much effort.

Getting the start for the East Cobb Astros in their quarterfinal matchup was Clemson commit Mack Anglin (2019, Marengo, Ohio). The 6-foot-5, 180-pound righthander has a tall athletic frame with long arm action and an online delivery. His arm action is relatively loose, but does wrap slightly behind his body that makes it hard to repeat his mechanics. Anglin does have sinking action on his fastball and when thrown at the lower half of the zone, Anglin is very effective. His fastball sat between 88-90 mph early in the outing with sink from his three-quarters arm angle. He also mixed a changeup in the upper-70s and a good slider in the mid-70s that showed late bite.

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.

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...

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...

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...
