16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3




David Jeon (2021, Coppell, Texas) made quite the impression Wednesday morning as he lit up the radar gun with the loudest mound performance of the week so far in terms of pure velocity. The uncommitted righthander worked strictly at 90-94 mph with the fastball in his first inning of work, hitting 93 and 94 multiple times, before settling into the 88-91 mph range for the other 2 1/3 innings of work, picking up eight strikeouts in the outing. The frame is a bit lean for being listed at 6-foot, 200-pounds given most of the weight seems to be sitting in the lower half. Jeon worked solely out of the stretch in this look, allowing him to eliminate any unnecessary motions and drive down the mound well. The command was strong throughout the outing as he tossed just under 70 percent strikes across 59 pitches, showing the ability to work both halves well.

The delivery was highly controlled and low-effort, allowing him to repeat well and maintain easy velocity deep into the outing. The arm is very quick through a high three-quarters slot that creates running life to the fastball. He showed good feel for a breaking ball that flashed some power to it at 77-79 mph as he created a high percentage of swing-and-miss. There is a lot to like as the projection to more velocity is there given the ease that the ball comes out of the hand and the room in the frame to fill. He has had high success at the plate this week and in past events, sitting at 8-for-12 currently, showing a potential for becoming a two-way prospect at the next level, but the future seems very bright on the mound for the uncommitted Texas native.



Jaxon Weber (2021, Carrollton, Texas) closed out Jeon’s win for the talented Dulins Dodgers – Godwin team as they pushed toward a potential berth in the playoff rounds, picking up a pair of strikeouts in his lone inning of work. The lefthander, a TCU commit, worked consistently in the 87-90 mph range, bumping a 91 early on in the inning. Weber does a good job of holding his front half closed, creating an angle to his release that creates a level of deception to the hitter, making at-bats especially uncomfortable for lefthanded hitters. The arm is long and loose as it whips through the angled three-quarters slot from an athletic delivery that allows him to repeat and extend well to both halves. Although he didn’t flash his primary off-speed pitch in the slider, he did flash a changeup with similar action out of the hand to the fastball but with late fade that kept the hitters off time and off balance.



Brodie Chestnutt (2021, Fitzgerald, Ga.) made a brief start early Wednesday afternoon and showed a very good look at what he has to offer at the next level. The physicality and projection of the body very much stand out above most of the class, standing at a strong 6-foot-3, 210-pounds. The Florida State commit worked at 87-88, topping out at 90 mph with significant heaviness and life to the fastball in this look as he worked regularly to the outer half creating consistent swing-and-miss. The long arm shows some whippiness to it through a three-quarters slot that creates heavy arm-side run, but sometimes creates command issues due to a sometimes lack of consistency with the release point. When he is on time with the lower half and releases well out front, the heaviness and run to the fastball is tough to barrel up.

Chestnutt struggled a little to consistently land his good off-speed in this look, but showed the makings of what could be a pair of very good pitches in a late-biting slider and a hard thrown changeup. He has everything to offer in a projectable righthander and he should only continue to add velocity and sharpen up his three-pitch mix as the 36thoverall ranked prospect develops over his last two years of high school.

Jayden Voelker (2021, Coventry, R.I.) was absolutely outstanding as he took the mound for Merc Elite Wednesday morning. The uncommitted righthander tossed 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out 15. Standing at 6-foot-2, 235-pounds, he is a presence on the mound with a very thick lower half that he used throughout as he was able to hold velocity all the way into the seventh inning, throwing 90 mph on his 94th pitch of the game. He would bump 91 mph earlier in the game, sitting comfortably at 87-89 mph with command throughout the outing. The delivery is a bit uncontrolled and the mechanics are relatively raw as he uses more of pure strength to throw for a high velocity as opposed to pure arm talent and efficiency in the delivery. There is some extra weight in the build that could be trimmed down to add athleticism and flexibility in the delivery that would translate to an increase in velocity, but at just halfway through his 16-year old year, there is time to do so.

The fastball showed life to both halves, but as the body falls off to the glove side in extension, there is a bit of pulling off that causes lack of what could be. Voelker showed a good ability to land his three-pitch mix as he showed a power breaking ball with hard bite that he used often to create swing-and-miss, while also mixing in a changeup with similar action to the fastball showing late tumble. There is a lot to like in what this uncommitted northern arm could become as he cleans up the delivery and what return that could give in him in terms of the velocity increase and sharpness of the off-speed pitches.

The East Cobb Astros ran their pool play record to 3-1 with a hard fought, come-from-behind, 3-2 victory over a very good Scorpions 2021 Select Kelly squad. The Astros rode strong pitching and sound defense to capture the late win. Lefty, Dylan Rhadans (2021, Acworth, Ga.) started on the bump for East Cobb and was sterling in his three innings of work. The long and lean southpaw pitched off his well-commanded fastball that showed arm-side run and heavy sink at the plate. His velocity was consistently in the 78-80 mph range. His heater appeared to jump on the hitters, as he pitched with highly deceptive mechanics that he routinely repeated. He complements his fastball with a sharp 12-to-6 breaking 66-mph curveball. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound rising junior at North Paulding HS allowed only one hit and walked only two in his very efficient three-inning stint.

Davis Williams (2021, Cartersville, Ga.) followed Rhadans to the hill and gave the Scorps’ hitters a completely different look. The junior-to-be at Cartersville High School throws with a low three-quarters slot and hides the ball behind his body until release. His fastball, which he throws in the 78-80 mph range, shows consistent arm-side run and sink. He works fast and pitches to contact, getting a lot of early, weak swings.

Closing the game out for the Astros was Carlson Reed (2020, Marietta, Ga.). The rising senior at Marietta HS is a power chucking righty with sound mechanics. He was all business for 1 1/3 innings, pitching off his high-octane fastball. He was consistently clocked in the 85-88 mph range and was always around the dish.

Highlighting the Astros on both offense and defense was left fielder Will Turner (2021, Auburn, Ala.). The Auburn HS junior-to-be and athletically gifted Turner made, quite possibly, the defensive play of the tournament when he laid out to catch a well-struck ball in left before getting to his feet and firing a strike to first base to double off the runner for a very un-routine 7-3 DP. Turner was also the catalyst on offense picking up two hits on the day, one of which was a bunt single that highlighted his advanced running ability.

Continuing their undefeated run through pool play the Florida Rebels overwhelmed Team Elite 16u, 11-1, to run their record to an impressive 5-0. The potent Rebels offense had a lineup full of contributors, however, two hitters stood out.

At 5-foot-11, 200-pounds, barrel-chested and broad-shouldered, Brady Jernigan (2021, Sarasota, Fla.) continued his onslaught on tournament pitching going 2-for-2 with two runs scored and another driven in. The powerfully built Rebels cleanup hitter uses a solid lower half and a path that has a slight lift at contact to consistently power the ball to the pull side. The rising junior at Braden River HS is also an exceptional baserunner who uses a great first step and advanced instincts to pressure the opponent defense.

One of the more gifted players and athletically talented individuals in Fort Myers this week is Brad Myers (2021, St. Petersburg, Fla.). The 5-foot-8, 165-pound junior-to-be at Northeast HS is a multi-tool prospect who blends advanced speed with a steady ability to get his barrel to the ball. He uses a flatter path to drive the ball to all parts of the field. His 2-for-3 day included a single to right-center field and a screaming double down the left field line. His two knocks plated three runs in the Rebels big win.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes
Tyler Kotila

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...

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...

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...
