13u WWBA Scout Notes

Tyler Russo
Kyler Peterson

Brody Costantine (2028, Deltona, Fl.) took home Co-MVPitcher, showing huge stuff and running the fastball up 87 mph. He paired it with a diving changeup, tossing six 2/3 innings on the tournament, allowing one run while striking out eleven. Costantine is also a physical hitter, batting .375 and showing jump off the barrel. 
 

Cooper Offermann (2028, Las Vegas, Nev.) raked all tournament, picking up a hit in all but one game. The Nevada native possesses excellent barrel skills with a quick and functional stroke. The athleticism plays behind the plate as he displayed advanced actions and good arm strength behind the dish. 
 
Boston Hatch (2028, South Jordan, Utah) is a tall, long, and very projectable southpaw. He lived in the mid-70s for the most part with heater, topping at 79 mph. The curveball paired well as he dropped in it for strikes. Hatch also has a clean left-handed stroke and has offensive upside as well. 

Jaaron Frye (2027, Fairview, N.C.) showed a live arm, working mostly in the upper-70s and reaching back for 81 when he needed. The velocity comes from an easy and low effort release. The slider paired well off the fastball, featuring tight and nasty bite in the low-70s. 




Alex Fernandez Rodriguez (2027, Mount Vernon, N.Y.) led the Jersey Storm to victory in the morning playoff match, punching out nine over five 2/3. The right-hander is uber athletic with a clean, smooth, and repeatable delivery. The fastball topped at 81 mph and he mixed in a depthy curveball. The New York native pounded the strike zone and painted throughout the outing. 
 
Brennan New (2027, Simpsonville, S.C.) showcased swing-and-miss stuff on the mound, living in the low-80s and topping at 83. The righty is an athletic mover with a fast arm and has a very advanced feel to spin the ball, showing two separate breaking balls that missed bats. New also swung it well and has real thump in the stick. 

Another two-way talent who impressed was Yomar Infante (2027, Orlando, Fl.). Impacting the game on both sides of the ball for X Team 13U, he ran the fastball up to 83, featuring heavy run. The curveball flashed bat-missing potential with healthy shape. At the plate, Infante employs a loose stroke with intent and strength out front. 

Gavin Markus (2027, Greenfield, Ind.) pitched with a power repertoire, running the heater up to 82 with good length and tons of physical projection. The breaking ball was sharp as well, proving to be an out-pitch. The upside is considerable for Markus on the mound and the stuff drew lots of swing-and-miss.  

Kevin Bell Jr. (2028, Grover, N.C.) displayed some of the best arm speed at the event and worked in the 75-77 range, topping 78. The curveball flashed downer bite and projects well. The fastball had good life through the zone, drawing plenty of swing-and-miss. 


Batting .533 on the tournament, Reginald Marshall (2028, Autryville, N.C.) swung a red hot bat. The Louisville commit has legit switch-hitting ability and employed a mature, all fields approach, spraying liners all over the field. The barrel accuracy stands out as did the defensive acumen. Manning shortstop, Marshall showed big range to both sides along with good arm strength across the diamond. 
 
Getting the start for Mmv Victus Az 2028 Black on Tuesday, Peyton Burgess (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) looked sharp, tossing four frames while allowing none earned. The fastball topped at 78 from a whippy arm, locating to glove side with comfort. A quality athlete, he also swung the bat well, batting cleanup and catching when he wasn’t on the bump.   

Two-way talent Christian Mascaro (2027, Toms River, N.J.) had a massive tournament on both sides of the ball for Intensity Baseball 13U Slate. On Sunday morning, the right-hander topped at 75 mph and threw a perfect game, striking out seven batters over five dominant frames. Mascaro also mashed, using a short and quick stroke and batting .417. 


Gregory Johnson (2028, Puyallup, Wash.) put big juice on display, leaving the park for a pull side bomb on Tuesday. The Washington native is physically advanced, and the ball comes really well with low effort. The path is conducive for power with lots of lift and the strength really plays out front. 
 
Gavin Poteet (2028, Suwanee, Ga.) created lots of angle and generated lots of swing-and-miss with his fastball. The pitch worked in the 73-75 range and hitters really struggled to square it up. There is some crossfire deception to the delivery and the long and lanky frame projects well. 

Joshua Messer (2027, Lake Havasu City, Ariz.) had one of the best single game performances. On Sunday morning, the left-handed stick picked up an outrageous six RBI in one single inning, clearing the bases on a triple twice. The second proved to be the final blow, effectively ending the game in a walk off victory. Messer possesses a smooth and fluid stroke with rhythm and although he didn’t pitch in the event, he is also a talented left-handed arm. 

Left-hander Hudson Simmons (2028, Charlotte, N.C.) showed some very intriguing stuff and makings of pitchability on the mound. In his start on Monday, the North Carolina native punched out a total of eight over three innings. The heater topped at 78 and he showed great feel for the curveball, proving to be a legit swing-and-miss offering with 1-7 shape. 

Ben Weninger (2027, Allentown, Penn.) displayed an excellent combination of deception and stuff. The southpaw ran his fastball up to 77, getting occasional cut on it from his slot. Due to the unconventional delivery and slot, it is a very uncomfortable at-bat and the stuff projects well moving forward 

Gavin Poteet (2028, Suwanee, Ga.) created lots of angle and generated lots of swing-and-miss with his fastball. The pitch worked in the 73-75 range and hitters really struggled to square it up. There is some crossfire deception to the delivery and the long and lanky frame projects well. 

-Kyler Peterson

2027 Caleb Alexander (Houston, Texas) is a very established young prospect who’s young for the class and has huge traits in terms of what he is now and should be long-term. He’s very athletic and shows it patrolling shortstop, while offensively there’s big bat speed, feel to adjust his body to match plane and the impact off the barrel that is different than most 13-year-olds anywhere.

2028 Colin Raymond (Syosset, N.Y.) is a big physical left-handed hitter for the age at 5’11/167 who took home MVP honors after racking up nine hits in the event, three for extra bases. It’s a shorter swing and he fires the weight/torques hard to create big bat speed, and as a result pretty strong impact. 

2028 Garrison Copeland (Hartsville, S.C.) had a great week hitting out of the leadoff spot for Next Level Prospects, finishing at .571 with eight hits to zero strikeouts. He’s a wiry athlete with good handle of the barrel while being still very young/thin and the swing checks a lot of boxes with balance, good length and extension through impact and signs of long-term bat speed as he gets stronger. 

2027 Omari Burse (Pooler, Ga.) also swung it well in the heart of that Next Level Prospects lineup, going 7-for-15 with a couple for extra bases. Like Copeland, he’s a good young athlete with a well-balanced swing, showing a bit more twitch at present, while the traits are similar in that there’s easy things to build on as a hitter long-term.


2028 Kaleb Foster (Montgomery, Texas) seems to just really always mash wherever he goes and the WWBA was no different finishing with 13 hits (.565 average) and he didn’t strike out once in his eight games played. He’s hyper athletic with all the tools for shortstop right now, showing he can make very advanced plays, while offensively it’s bat speed coupled with just the ability to be on time and on plane with a huge variety of arms that come with playing at this age; he’s good.

2028 Noah Knudson (Las Vegas, Nev.) swung it well as a whole over the course of the event and there’s big projection traits here at just 13. He’s 6’2/150 with good control of his body right now while the hands are good and quick offensively and it’s easy to see there could be real power in there long-term if everything progresses like it looks it might.

2028 Breck Hemphill (Pittsburgh, Penn.) has been good as a whole this summer and has big things to work with moving forward, which showed up well with a wood bat. He’s got big intent to how he swings the stick with real bat speed and impact already; if he can get to his best impact consistently, he’s got a chance to be one of the better young hitters in the northeast.

2028 Owen Burnes (Milton, Mass.) was probably the best hitter on a Boston Prime team that made a good run in the event. He hit .417 with all five of his hits going for doubles; it’s an approach that is geared for getting the ball in the air and his overall size/strength allows him to create some real carry to the pull side when he’s synced up and producing good jump off barrel.


2028 Rory Funke (Needham, Mass.) swung it well over the course of the event, but he probably stood out the most as a young prospect on the mound. He’s 78-81 right now with good carry to his fastball while creating tough angle, showing big arm speed from that slot, flashing some feel for a changeup and having a good deal of projection given the 6’1/165 frame and overall traits.

2027 Nicholas Pasquinelli (Orlando, Fla.) has some intrigue in terms of his arm talent and overall mix on the mound. He’s an upper-70s guy now, who has peaked at 81, with good running life to the fastball that gets on to hitters’ hands pretty well. He’s also got some feel for spin in the upper-60s that bodes well for giving him a well-rounded pair of pitches as he trends upwards.

2028 Collin McGowan (Battle Ground, Wash.) didn’t have the loudest of weeks and still hit .357 with a good chunk of hits. The game comes pretty easy and given all the young traits he has on both sides of the ball, he’s got a chance to impact the game in a big way long-term. It’s easier bat speed/impact and good chops with a solid arm over at the hot corner; the upside is strong.

2028 Isaias Torres (Oviedo, Fla.) stands out a bunch on both sides of the ball right now given his size at 6’1/175 while being only 13.8 and there’s real arm talent. He was up to 83 on the mound showing heaviness to the fastball and some feel for spin; the swing is also a good one with good strength and innate ability to leverage already.


2027 Bryson Josey (Matthews, N.C.) got the ball a couple times in the event and racked up double digit strikeouts across 10 innings of work in total. He’s a hugely physical 6’2/218 right-hander who can run the fastball up to 83 when he needs it, pitching at 77-80 with a ton of heaviness from a low slot. He’s also got excellent feel to spin a sharp hook and has a good bit more in the tank.

2028 Axton Westmoreland (Senatobia, Miss.) hits in the leadoff spot for BPA and has done so well this summer. He hit .400 here and it’s rhythmic approach, good pitch recognition, easy swing with good young bat speed and overall handle of the game that makes him a plug-and-play type of guy right now.

2028 Brendan Blankenship (Statesville, N.C.) didn’t end up with the loudest of results but there is a ton to like in what he could become. He’s 5’10/155 with a ton of athleticism right now, showing he can patrol the outfield well, while there’s excellent bat speed already and he has the ability to create both length and separation with a good deal of intent. He hit over .330 here.


2028 Colin Anderson (Evans, Ga.) had a massive close to the week just raking throughout the playoffs and finished hitting .583 with 14 hits to just a single strikeout across 8 games. He’s a well-established pure hitter with such an easy swing and higher-end pitch recognition. Overall, he handles the barrel at a high rate and the body projects to a good deal of strength long-term.

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...

Coastal Soph. Fall Invite Scout Notes

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...
