18u BCS Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Taylor Weber

The first round of the 18u BCS National Championship kicked off with four games at JetBlue Park. Game 1 for Top Tier Hoffmann was led by a solid outing from Andrew Hoffmann. The 6-foot-5, 185-pound righthanded pitcher was dominant for three innings to start the tournament for Top Tier as they won in decisive fashion, 8-0. Hoffmann didn’t allow a hit and struck out three batters. The Oakland commit sat in the upper-80s while topping out at a tourney-best 92 mph. His arm action is long and loose while releasing from a high three-quarters arm slot getting some downhill running action on the fastball. He also located a 12-to-6 curveball with a tight spin well, landing it for quality strikes.

The Diamond Prospects made quick work in their first game winning 9-0. The victory was capped by a long blast from 6-foot-2, 175-pounder from Miami, Fla., Juan Osorio. Osorio looks to generate high amounts of leverage when meeting the ball out front. The lefty has a naturally lifted path to the ball and uses his lower half to create a lot of strength in the swing. One ball was hit to right field and it was a no-doubt home run.



Another big bat for the Diamond Prospects was JD Herrera, who employs a high contact approach and can manipulate the barrel to hit the ball to all fields. He had a big bases-loaded triple that would cap the victory. Herrera isn’t a big swinger but his approach will allow for a high OBP with the ability to hit for average.

Another blowout win by Academy Baseball Canada by a score of 8-0 was led by a big power bat. Martin Vincelli-Somard went 2-for-3 with a couple of RBI and a couple of runs scored in the game. His big hit came early in the game with a loud home run that left in hurry to left-center field. Vincelli-Somard is a thick and strong 6-foot-1, 215-pounder from Boisbriand, Quebec who’s committed to play at Sacramento State. He swings the bat with intent and has a big power potential. In his second at-bat he hit another long drive that would drift foul but had the distance. He would settle for a single.

Geraldo Soriano threw a complete game two-hitter giving the Orioles Scout Team a 1-0 victory on the opening day. Soriano, just 5-foot-11 and 195-pounds from Greenacres, Fla., has a lot of strength in his lower half and uses it well. He drives off the back leg down the mound and gets the fastball up to 89 mph. He utilizes a long and loose arm action with a high amount of fastballs landing for strikes. He mixes in a slurve-type breaker that got some swings and misses. In his seven innings the uncommitted righthander struck out 13 batters while walking just three.

It was a tough 1-0 loss for Chandler World 18u at the hands of Nelson Baseball School. It was a pitcher’s duel, as both sides tossed complete games and only six total hits were allowed.

For Chandler World Carlos Francisco took the mound. Francisco is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound righthander from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He maintains good balance throughout the delivery with some acceleration after the gather. His arm action is quick and gets the fastball up to 91 mph with late running life. He will mix in a sharp two-plane curveball with late depth. Francisco went six innings and allowed just two hits with eight strikeouts and the one run was unearned.

On the other side for Nelson Baseball School was 6-foot-2, 185-pound righty Zach Camp. Camp, a Swarthmore College commit from Smyrna, Ga., had similar numbers as he went seven innings and allowed just four hits with nine strikeouts. The high release point for Camp allows him to get some swing-and-miss on a downhill fastball that was sitting at 79-82 mph. He throws a short and tight slider with late break that can be difficult for hitters to pick up on.

After being up by two runs throughout most of the game the PRBAHS 12 team took a tough loss, falling 8-2. The starter for PRBAHS went 4 2/3 innings before being taken out of the game. Jeremy A. Adorno La Torre, a 5-foot-11, 145-pound righthander, was tough in the early going of the game. He has the ability to add more velocity with an increase in strength throughout the frame, but he already sits 83-86 with the fastball with some late run. He spots the ball well and works the edges. Mixing in a sharp 11-to-5 curveball with really good feel.

Luis Rodriguez was another guy with some tools for PRBAHS 12. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound third baseman showed some soft hands while working through the ball well. The arm strength is present and should work well at the corner. He is also able to handle the bat, though he may not have the power to stick at the corner. His control of the barrel is there and he’s able to drive the ball to all parts of the field. Rodriguez went 2-for-3 in the game with a good chance to stick at the top of an order.

On their way to their second win of the tournament, Nelson Baseball got a solid three innings of work from righty Nick Torres. The LIU Brooklyn commit stands at 6-foot and a slender 180-pounds with room to add strength at the next level. Torres doesn’t get a ton of swings and misses, as he only struck out four batters, but he does have good command of his pitches as well as a deceptive delivery. His quick arm action helps him get the fastball up to 88 mph and he mixed in a sharp slider as a solid secondary.

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...

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...

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.

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...
