Fall Regional Review: Deep South

Individual Standouts from the Region
Joshua Hull (2027, Collierville, Tenn.) made a pair of appearances throughout the tournament, the first of which had already been detailed but his talents and upside are worth mentioning again, especially since this is the first time I was able to see him throw in person. Far from the build you’d expect for a player just entering 8th grade with a listed 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame (though he looks longer and stronger), there’s lots of intrigue with what he could develop into on the mound given the feel he’s already showing for his arsenal. Squaring off against a talented Power Baseball club who made a deep run, Hull more than held his own as he posted zeroes over his first three frames while running his heater up to 85 mph and living comfortably in the low-80s throughout. Despite his size he shows nice rhythm and balance on the bump and given the operation and release, Hull is able to generate real backspin on his fastball, meaning it carried well through the zone and aided in some deception. Over his time on the mound he punched out a pair but was able to elicit weak ground ball contact while mixing in a low-70s curveball with depth to the lower third of the strike zone.
-WWBA Freshman World Championships

Jon Grey Morrisson (2026, Etta, Miss.) opened the morning with some real power stuff, sitting in the 84-85 range and reaching back for 87 for a punchout. He’s a big 6-foot-6 primary catcher with very real arm strength as he’s able to produce that kind of velocity and big life to the fastball from a really compact arm stroke. He throws enough strikes with the fastball to be intrigued already, but it’ll be about the development of a secondary that’s the most important.
-WWBA Freshman World Championships

Already a three-time Select Festival alum despite still having another year of 14u eligibility, Kevin Roberts Jr (2026, Meridian, Miss.) and his right arm have already made a name for themselves despite just turning 14 a couple months back. Currently ranked No. 8 in the class nationally, Roberts Jr is listed as a primary shortstop and he collected a couple knocks throughout the tournament, but it’s for what he did on the mound in the opening round of the playoffs that he warrants this write up. Though it was a brief 2-inning stint, Roberts Jr showed some real strides over the last calendar year, and though he’ll continue to iron some things out (which he has plenty of time to do), the upside remains enormous for what he could develop into on the mound. The young Mississippi native is already built like a power armed hurler with broad shoulders and long limbs with plenty of room to fill, but given the whip-like arm stroke and electric arm speed, he’s already able to light up the radar guns. After escaping a bases loaded jam in the first inning while navigating a tighter strike zone, Roberts Jr continued to live very comfortably in the mid- to upper-80s with his fastball while peaking at 89 mph while jumping out of his hand. The timing and sync in his delivery, which is exclusively out of the stretch, is an area where he seems to have made one of his bigger improvements and as he continues to physically mature and incorporate additional lower half into his drive, watch out of the young right-hander out of Mississippi.
-WWBA Freshman World Championships

Wyatt Shelley (2026, Webb, Ala.) had himself a quality showing on both sides of the ball throughout the tournament for Wow Factor as the young Auburn commit showed well both on the mound and with the stick in his hands in the middle of the order. Physically imposing on the rubber at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, Shelley was pivotal to Wow advancing past the Dirtbags as he tossed 4 2/3 innings of mostly shutout baseball (until tie breaker where bases begin loaded), making more than one big pitch to give his team every opportunity to come back and then take the lead for good. It’s a simple operation on the mound but don’t mistake that for a lack of stuff as the Alabama native showed one of the bigger fastballs in attendance as he worked up to 89 mph and routinely showed upper-80s on the radar gun with short running life through the zone as well as a sharper breaker in the mid-70s. What he did on the mound over both outings might grab the headlines, but Shelley also finished the weekend with a .316 average and .480 on-base percentage and picked up at least one hit through each of the pool play games showing a short yet powerful stroke with plenty of punch in his hands.
-WWBA Freshman World Championships

Ethan McElvain (2023, Thompsons Station, Tenn.) took the ball against a tough lineup and did not waver. The Vanderbilt commit threw five shutout innings while striking out nine total hitters. The fastball sat 90-92 mph early on before settling in at 88-90 mph. Deception out of the hand allows the offering to get on hitters quickly. There is advanced feel for a slider at 78-80 mph present. The offering was thrown for strikes regularly. Tight action allowed for it to generate whiffs often. Hitters struggled to do anything with either pitch. It is an impressive profile that should only continue to get better.
-WWBA World Championships

Brady Smith (2023, Bean Station, Tenn.), a Virginia Tech commit, is 6-foot-2, 176 pounds and displays a lean build that will be able to add weight and muscle in the future. Smith has a quick, loose, live arm with clean arm action. The delivery is balanced, athletic, coming out of a high three-quarter slot. Featured a 86-92, topping 93 fastball in this outing. Curveball was 77-83 and the slider had late break at 78-81. Smith spun the ball well exhibiting sharp, late break on his 12/6 curveball and was able to establish it for strikes early. Smith is a solid arm that has above-average command of all his pitches.
-WWBA World Championships

Hudson Calhoun (2023, Tupelo, Miss.), an Ole Miss commit, is 6-foot-4, 180 pounds with ample room to grow and add physicality. A projectable frame and a quick arm featuring a two-pitch mix. Not a pure strike thrower now, but makes fast adjustments and will develop with age and maturity. kept hitters off balance in his two innings of work. Easy operation and delivery with clean arm-action. Up to 91 today. Can envision a jump in velocity with added strength. Ole Miss has a good one here.
-WWBA World Championships

Braden Booth (2024, Madison, Ala.) is one of those gamers that every coach wants on his team. As one of the top two-way talents in the country for the ’24 class, Braden showed out for his team in a tough 1-0 victory. Braden stands 6-foot-1 and weighs around 185 pounds and is very athletic. With good strength in his lower half, he is a threat both on the mound and as a hitter. He covered 5 full innings of work on this day allowing only a few hits and some free passes but was able to keep the opposition off the scoreboard while getting some big strikeouts when needed. Booth has a little longer arm action behind with a small hand hitch before getting into the release phase of his pitch. He was steady at 86 mph while hitting 89-mph with his fastball. He has been up to 91 mph this summer. He shows good feel for a changeup that he has good arm speed through release on and a slider with good depth late. As a Mississippi State Bulldog commit, he will look to continue the opportunity to be used as a dual threat.
-WWBA World Championships

England Bryan (2024, Hillsboro, Tenn.) is a two-way committed player to the University of Kentucky. Showing a strong skill set behind the plate and with his bat, England has a knack for being in big moments on the mound as well. Needing someone to come in and stop a scoring threat in the sixth inning, Bryan’s coach brought him in with his powerful right arm to stop the opposition. Over his four outs of work, England recorded two via the strikeout and threw at a 100% strike efficiency, while bringing the heat with his fastball at 90-91 mph and a slider that was at 87 mph. A true power slider to say the least. There is a lot to like from England and it remains unseen which side of the field he is the best suited for at this time, but that is what will make him a fun player to follow.
-WWBA World Championships
Another southpaw who toed the rubber over on the Cardinals quad was Griffin Graves (2023, Jackson, Tenn.) who battled against a good team to strike out five in over three innings without allowing a run. The Auburn commit is another typically undersized left-hander but similarly has some big stuff and excellent feel to mix. Graves showed off the entire four-pitch offering during the first frame, working up to 93 mph with the fastball and showing a curveball, slider, and changeup. There’s good angle to release with an athletic operation and the fastball worked mostly in the 89-91 mph range. The slider has harder, shorter bite than the curveball and the latter Graves was adept at dropping in for strikes. His best secondary pitch might be the firm changeup, living in the 82-85 mph range with good sinking action to it. Graves has a strong mix and an athletic profile and once again performed on a big stage.
-WWBA World Championships

Cooper Pratt (2023, Oxford, Miss.), a PG All-American, got the game started with a loud, booming double deep to the pull side gap. At 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, the Ole Miss commit is a plus athlete with a super high-waisted, projectable build that looks like it’ll hold a lot of strength at maturity. Pratt is a pure hitter with a gorgeously simple stroke that allows his hand quickness, bat speed, and natural jump to standout. The simplicity of the swing leads way to solid hit tool projection and the power is already beginning to show up too.
-WWBA World Championship

Walker Hooks (2024, Brandon, Miss.) took the ball during the first round of the playoffs and did not disappoint. The Ole Miss commit threw four shutout innings, striking out five hitters and only walking one. The left-hander controls his big, physical frame down the mound well, allowing the delivery to be repeated and strikes to be thrown consistently. The fastball got up to 89 mph with quality arm-side run. There is advanced feel for the slider present at 75-78 mph. The offering was landed for strikes consistently and showed the ability to miss a fair amount of bats. Hitters were off balance all outing, resulting in weak contact often. It was an impressive performance on the big stage.
-WWBA World Championships

Hudson Mattox (2023, Grenada, Miss.) was dominant in the Round of 32 for BPA. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound right-hander tossed five innings of shutout baseball, allowing only one hit in the fifth, and final, inning of the game. Mattox ran the fastball up to 90 mph with command to both sides of the plate. The curveball paired well with the fastball with hard, late depth right around 80 mph. The Ole Miss commit did a good job of mixing speeds and quadrants to keep hitters off balance. He got the fastball in on both right-handed and left-handed hitters and they just couldn’t seem to catch up to it. He only registered two strikeouts but threw 68% strikes and had total command of the game from the first pitch on.
-WWBA World Championships

Christopher Moore (2025, Signal Mnt, Tenn.) was excellent early in his start and turned in a really nice outing as a whole, punching out 10 across five innings of work and it’s an easy profile to project on. He’s 6-foot-1, 160 pounds with lots of athleticism physically and the overall room to fill that could make him a premium level arm. He was 84-87 and sinks it a good bit while the arm speed certainly maintains on the breaking ball showing lots of confidence spinning it in the zone and garnering swing-and-miss. He looks the part and all the components work making this certainly a fun young arm with tons of long-term upside and an intriguing ceiling.
-WWBA Underclass World Championships

Wade Shelley (2025, Webb, Ala.) had a great night with the bat for WOW Factor National 16U. The Alabama native went 3-for-3 at the plate. In his first at-bat he showed no issues handling spin, reading a slider early and jumping on it to line it to the opposite field. He followed up in his next at-bat, showing off the wheels to leg out a grounder to third base. In his final time up, he once again barreled up a good breaking ball, lining it into the pull-side gap for a double. Shelley gets separated well and swings with plenty of intent and very fast hands before meeting the ball with strength at impact. Shelley put many of his tools on display Thursday night and the combination of speed and athleticism is very intriguing.
-WWBA Sophomore World Championships

Steele Hall (2026, Daphne, Ala.) led the game off with a sharp liner through the left side on a two strike count. He showed great adjustability to go down and get the pitch and drive it with authority. Hall utilizes a short and direct stroke, accompanied by lightning quick hands. The Tennessee commit is also a very talented shortstop with quick feet and plenty of arm strength, as he has been in the mid-80s on the mound. Hall is an excellent athlete with loads of tools across the board to project upon.
-WWBA Sophomore World Championships

Uncommitted Players Who Shined

Jacob Tucker (2025, Youngsville, La.) is a young-for-class 2025 that certainly has performed this year, now hitting over .450 on the circuit across a ton of games. There’s real hitting tools with big bat speed and the ability to separate while he’s pretty explosive in how he uncoils his weight into impact.
-WWBA Freshman World Championships

Jack Brafa (2023, Medina, Tenn.) is an uncommitted student/athlete and could surely help a program out with his ability to pitch. He has a compact delivery with clean mechanics and a short arm action. His release point is from a traditional three-quarter slot. The shortness of the arm action helps to add some quickness to his fastball. He has been clocked as high as 89 mph in 2022. Jack has a sharp biting 12/6 type curveball and confidence for a changeup with some fading bottom to it. Brafa went only 2 innings but pounded the strike zone at 85% and struck out 2 batters while allowing only a pair of hits. Having a solid build and frame, Jack can probably get more from it with added development and the right program to tap into his rawness.
-WWBA World Championships

Eli Ramsey (2023, Millington, Tenn.) has had a heck of a summer in 2022, hitting well over .450 in 18 games and 40+ at-bats. The key to this success is his approach at the plate. Eli has a balanced set up in the box with both knees slightly bent and his weight slightly shifted over the back one for a small preload of weight onto the backside. His front foot is opened, and he drifts into a leg lift and steps closed upon load position. He does a good job controlling the bat through the zone on plane with pitches and makes decent barrel contact. His ability to control the bat into and through the zone has allows him to make consistent contact. Eli was 1-for-2 with a run scored on Day 3 of pool play and helped aid in his team’s victory. Eli is a tall, lengthy player with a solid athletic build and can still get stronger with the right program. Currently an uncommitted student/athlete, Eli looks to get that opportunity to develop into the best version of himself at the next level.
-WWBA World Championships

Dalton Meadows (2024, McCall Creek, Miss.) did a very good job keeping his opponents off balanced at the plate. Meadows uses his physical frame and build to deliver a lively fastball that sits in the upper-80s and on this day, he touched 91 mph multiple times. Dalton also has a pair of breaking balls, a curveball and a hard slider. His curveball has a top-to-bottom shape and at times is very sharp late when he tries to bury it. The slider is a more power-type pitch, getting into the upper-70s and lower-80s for velocity. It has some tilt and is controlled more for strikes on the zone. Dalton covered 3 innings in his start while surrendering a lone hit and recording one strikeout. He was effective in pitching to contact and getting some quick outs. As an uncommitted student-athlete, Dalton has room for added experience and development and could just be scratching the surface.
-WWBA World Championships

Riley Goodman (2024, Memphis, Tenn.) had himself a game both on the bump and at the plate for Memphis Tigers- Team Hagan. On the mound, Goodman cruised through a 5-inning complete game, allowing 0 earned runs and 4 hits while striking out 9 in the process. Showed great feel for both the fastball command and feel for the tight slider. Fastball sat 82-86 (T87) with late life, tying up hitters on the inner half, leading to weak contact and bad swings. Consistent feel for the slider/curveball, and it proved to be his go-to out pitch today picking up 4 strikeouts on the curveball. At the plate, he went 1-for-1 and scored a run. Projectable frame with tons of room to fill and work with.
-WWBA Underclass World Championships

Easton Leblanc (2025, Madisonville, La.) had one hit and it was an inside-the-park homer to deep left-center field. He’s got a wiry strong frame with a pretty simple setup with balance and some separation on the backside. It’s a shorter swing and he gets onto the front hip quickly, but does so with strength. He’s a primary arm as well, but put a pretty nice swing on the ball to help kickstart the offense.
-WWBA Sophomore World Championships

Ryan Darrah (2025, River Ridge, La.) knocked in two singles and added another barrel on a lineout later in the game. Darrah has a high-waisted, projectable build at a listed 6-foot-2, 165 pounds with broad shoulders and tons of projection from the primary shortstop. It’s a wider base to start but with fast hands and good whip through the zone. He showed the barrel accuracy first at-bat as he hit a liner through the right side during a hit and run. Darrah later added another line drive single and barreled up a ball to left for an out. The offensive potential is intriguing given the propensity for the barrel during yesterday’s game and we’ve seen a good arm and run times from him at showcases in the past.
-WWBA Sophomore World Championships

Banks Teater (2025, Magee, Miss.) had a couple of knocks during the Knights' victory over at JetBlue Park on Saturday morning and the left-handed hitting catcher certainly offers a lot to like. At a listed 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Teater has a strong, physical presence that pertains well to both his offensive and defensive skill set. He doubled and singled in this one, showing a balanced stance from the left side with good timing. Teater’s hands and front foot work together in tandem and the swing path is mostly clean with lift out in front. He’s a strong receiver too and looks like a well-rounded backstop who will likely develop into power too.
-WWBA Sophomore World Championships

Teams Repping the Region

East Coast Sox Scout has to be the Jupiter headliner of the region by winning a stout Pool K against the likes of Alpha Prime. The big standouts were Ole Miss commit Walker Hooks, who over the course of the event threw up 7 innings of shutout ball with a sub-1.00 WHIP in that span, as well as Ian Herrington, an uncommitted 2024 who spun 5 perfect innings while punching 10 tickets along the way. The offensive output was supplied by uncommitted utility man Justin Lebron, who compiled 6 hits, 3 of which were for extra bases, 8 runs scored, and 3 stolen bags. No doubt they wanted to come home with the hardware but their run to the Round of 32 left me thoroughly impressed. Excited to see such a young squad have success in amateur baseball’s biggest event. Already can’t wait to see them compete in 2023.



Wow Factor 15u National put together a deep run in the WWBA Freshman Worlds, led by the thundering bats of 2026s Noah Everly and Jaylen Walker. Together they combined for 16 hits, 11 runs scored, 10 runs batted in, and 8 stolen bases. Additionally, on the mound they leaned on the left arm of Arkansas commit Johnny Carver, who posted 8 innings of one-run ball all together while racking up 13 outs via the K. Silver is not the goal but it's a sign of really exciting things to come out of that group going forward.

There’s zero doubt in my mind that EBC 15u- Gold is headed for powerhouse level talent as they mature, led by backstop Will Brick. Over the course of the summer and fall, Brick has shown to be a really premier player that’s only trending up. In addition, they carry a couple highly projectable young arms such as physical 6-foot-6 right hander Jon Grey Morrisson, and right-hander Joshua Hull that only should bolster up in the coming years.

Knights Knation 15u, one of the premier programs in the country, made a threatening run to the quarterfinals at the Freshman Worlds on the back of ‘26 Alexander Harwell, who dazzled with an event-high 29 outs recorded, 13 of which came through the K, while only surrendering one run. Perhaps more impressively, the Knights as a whole only gave up 2 runs through all of pool play with no shortage of runs scored. The offensive output was led by Nate Alario, who put together quite the event with 8 hits, 7 runs, 4 runs batted in, and 4 bags swiped. A solid organization top to bottom that looks to be competitive in the years ahead.

Wow Factor 16u National is quite the elite group that personifies the “National Team” with players from 16 different states. Regardless, the roster construction done by Evin Einhardt and his staff is immaculate. The nation’s No. 1 16u team rosters 16 Power 5 commits, headlined of course by LSU commit Omar Serna and South Carolina commit Eli Pitts. There’s quite the arsenal for elite offensive output and power arms to shut it down. If there’s the continuity that is desired with this group, they’ll be a favorite again at the Underclass Worlds in 2023 and Jupiter in 2024.

Knights Knation/Dodgers Scout Team Extreme was a talented group, put together by the Knights staff here, blending a lot of high level West Coast talent with the likes of Texas commit Casey Borba and UCLA commit Cameron Kim, along with the homegrown southern talents of Ole Miss commit Ethan Surowiec and power bat LSU commit John Pearson. Immense run-producing potential with those four alone, not to mention all the other talented young athletes they carry as well. Not to mention the power arms of USC commit Hiro Wyatt, who runs a blazing fastball up to 95, and Mississippi State commit William Schmidt. Unfortunately, a narrow seventh inning one-run loss against a stout Red Sox Scout team was the difference. But watch out, the boys from Louisiana will re-load and field another group of highly competitive teams in 2023.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes

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...

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 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.
