The Boras Classic: Day 1 Notes | Day 2 Notes | Day 3 Notes


2018

Cole Winn, rhp, Orange Lutheran
The righthander signed to play at Mississippi State has been outstanding in two consecutive viewings by PG. With a prototypical starter's build and potentially three potential plus pitches, Winn has been one of the biggest risers of this year's draft class and has created some serious mid- to late-first round buzz as his start to open The Boras Classic was the most heavily scouted game of the week. 

Brice Turang, ss, Santiago
Turang had a very strong final game of NHSI, collecting three hits included a smoked double and triple, and looked to have brought that momentum with him into the Boras Classic. The Louisiana State signee has been one of the most well-known draft prospects in the country and with the potential for a plus glove, run, and hit tool, Turang looks to be solidifying his draft stock in the first round.  

Brandon Dieter, ss/rhp, South Hills
PG All-American Brandon Dieter did it all during South Hills' opening win of the event, as Dieter tossed a complete game and had the walk-off double. Dieter features a fastball in the 88-90 mph range with a potential plus changeup, however his draft stock likely is determined at the plate. Whether he will stick at shortstop at the next level is a question scout's have to answer, but Dieter is one of the more polished bats in the class. 

Owen Sharts, rhp, Simi Valley
During a week that featured numerous impressive pitching performances, Sharts had an outstanding start. He tossed a complete game where his fastball sat 90-93 mph for most of the start while featuring three pitches for strikes with a 12/6 curveball and an above-average changeup. Sharts is establishing himself as one of the top arms in the region for this year's class.

Jake Moberg, ss/rhp, Vista Murrieta
The physical hitter in the middle of the Vista Murrieta lineup had a very good offensive week wth multiple rocketed extra base hits to both gaps. Moberg plays shortstop but may be forced to third base in professional baseball due to his size and likeliness to fill out with strength, but the UCLA signee has loud offensive tools. 

Nick Nastrini, rhp, Cathedral Catholic
Cathedral Catholic is deep with senior arms, they have three in their starting rotation, and Nastrini was particularly impressive during his start. Nastrini hits all the mechanical check points scouts look for in starting pitching prospects: fluid and repeatable delivery, clean and easy arm stroke, and potential above-average command profile. The fastball is currently in the upper-80s, but he has good secondary offerings highlighted by his changeup. 

Jake Miller, rhp, Newbury Park
Miller squared off against Nastrini and showed off a very high potential ceiling. The San Diego signee has good arm speed and a physical frame that projects for more, with his fastball running up to 92 mph regularly and showing a changeup and breaking ball. The arm speed and projection make Miller's profile especially intriguing as he continues to add velocity. 

Emilio Rosas, ss, Mater Dei
Rosas has been a cornerstone for a very talented Mater Dei team and sets the tone offensively and defensively with his play. The Southern California signee is a very athletic and twitchy prospect that plays well with smooth actions at shortstop that projet with a line drive-heavy offensive profile. There is power to the frame and swing, but Rosas is at his best when he is peppering line drives.  

Noah Owen, rhp, Cathedral Catholic
One of the bigger selling points to Owen's draft profile is that he is young for the grade, only 17 and 6 months, and has an extremely projectable 6-foot-4 frame. Owen has good present stuff, however, as he can run his fastball up to 91 mph with an impressive arsenal of offspeed pitches. Owen's combination of present stuff, age, and projection make him a prime candidate to develop nicely in a professional team's setting. 

Erik Tolman, lhp, El Toro
Tolman started the first game against Winn and didn't show his best stuff, however he still showed why he is so highly valued, with lots of projection onto the arsenal of an advanced command profile. The lean, athletic, 6-foot-4, frame projects for much more, he has been up to 93 at last year's Area Code Games, and features a slurve with hard tilting life and commands exceptionally well. 


2019

Michael Curialle, ss, JSerra
The Boras Classic served just as well as Michael Curialle's coming out party on the national stage for the 2019 class. The 6-foot-3, 198-pound frame is extremely athletic with tons of more room for strength to be added but is a strong defender overall with an above-average-to-plus arm. The bat speed is real, that travels very quickly through the hitting zone, and the UCLA commit launched two moonshot home runs over four games. 

Sam Hliboki, rhp, Harvard-Westlake
Vanderbilt commit Sam Hliboki turned in one of the best performances of the weekend as he twirled a complete game shutout during his start on the bump. The righthander is extremely athletic and projectable, while working up to 90 mph with steep downhill plane and life. Hliboki features two breaking balls and can throw either for strikes, and Hliboki looks like one of the top arms for next year's draft class. 

Cody Freeman, ss, Etiwanda
Freeman is the heart and soul of the Etiwanda lineup as he bats leadoff while starting at shortstop for his high school team. Freeman is a remarkable athlete with tons of feel for shortstop while also showing advanced bat-to-ball and overall hitting skills. The Baylor commit is a remarkably impressive prospect and is one of the best pure baseball players on the field for the 2019 class. 

Josh Hahn, 1b/lhp, Huntington Beach
Hahn is already a highly-touted junior prospect, coming in at No. 36 on the overall 2019 rankings, and Hahn only pitched one inning during the week as he has not been pitching much lately due to some nagging injuries. Hahn will be compared often to former teammate, and first round pick, Nick Pratto, but Hahn has lots of pop and feel for hitting in the batter's box as he is one of the top true two-way prospects in the class. 

Hunter Cope, rhp, Mater Dei
The 6-foot-11 No. 1 starter for the Monarchs, what stands out about Cope is how athletic he is, Cope is an impressive basketball player in the offseason, as he repeats his delivery and throws a ton of strikes for his size. The velocity is up to 91-92 mph as he generates tons of extension toward the plate. The breaking ball flashes when thrown with conviction and he features a changeup to complete the three-pitch arsenal. 

Marcus Johnson, rhp, Etiwanda
The uber-projectable No. 1 starter for Etiwanda was extremely impressive during his start as he guided his team to an opening game win during the event. With a 6-foot-5, 175-pound lean frame to go along with an extremely loose and whippy arm action, Johnson projects to throw very hard past his current velocity range of 84-87 mph as he twirled an impressive three-hit complete game. 

C.J. Rodriguez, c, Mater Dei
The Vanderbilt commit features some of the best catch-and-throw skills in the class with a very impressive throwing arm that poses a legitimate threat to any baserunner. He pops 1.9-2.0 second times in between innings routinely and is also more than willing to try to backpick runners post-pitch. The offensive skills are impressive too as Rodgiruez has solid raw bat speed. 

Jasiah Dixon, of, Orange Lutheran
Dixon is one of the toolsiest prospects in the class, with potential plus run, throw, glove, and power to the arsenal. He has only flashed each tool as he has been dealing with some injury, but the arm strength and defense are legitimate weapons and he posted a best run time of 4.1 seconds on the weekend. Dixon is one to monitor as he continues to progress and profiles well as an early-round pick for next year. 

Hunter Cranton, rhp, Mater Dei
Cranton features one of the highest ceilings for any 2019 pitcher as the frame and ease of the delivery all project well moving forward. Cranton worked up to the mid-80s and generated good sink on his fastball when on time, though he did struggle a bit during this look. Regardless, the profile is appealing for the Arizona commit and he should continue to improve and develop. 

Edward Pelc, lhp, Huntington Beach
One of many talented lefthanders for the Oilers, Pelc started game one for Huntington Beach, and despite getting the loss, showed off some impressive tools. The San Diego commit features a funky, deceptive delivery and runs his fastball up in the upper-80s while also attacking with an impressive breaking ball. 


2020

Jared Jones, rhp/of, La Mirada
Jones was the early star of the Boras Classic, running his fastball up to 95 mph which would be the second highest velocity of the event. Jones is electric on the mound but has tons of bat speed and strength through impact at the dish. The arm strength plays well from the outfield as he hosed a runner trying to score from second base during the highly touted matchup with Mater Dei.  

Pete Crow-Armstrong, of, Harvard-Westlake
Armstrong was outstanding all weekend for the top four finishers as he set the tone early near the front of the lineup. The Vanderbilt commit has a short, crisp swing with present bat speed and features a plus run tool with great defense in centerfield and has been up into the 90s from the outfield in the past. Armstrong has the look of a top draft prospect ome 2020s draft. 

Drew Bowser, ss, Harvard-Westlake
Bowser made for a nice duo with Armstrong near the top of Harvard-Westlake's lineup as he launched a huge home run against Mater Dei that proved the difference. He also has the deciding RBI triple in game one and has loads of athleticism and advanced defensive chops at shortstop. The Stanford commit's ceiling is limitless and is arguably the top infield prospect for the class. 

Christian Rodriguez, rhp, Orange Lutheran
The Orange Lutheran three-starter(!!) is an incredibly projectable righthander who already works his fastball up into the low-90s. The delivery, arm, and frame all project extremely well to go along with a breaking ball that continues to improve and make strides. The Miami commit has a very high ceiling on the hill and should continue to make strides with his development. 

Emilio Morales, rhp/ut, La Mirada
Pitching La Mirada into the finals of the Boras Classic was Morales who is an extremely projectable pitcher who works into the upper-80s already. He is also an advanced position prospect as he can play all over the field, he saw time both behind the plate and at first base, with a clean and powerful swing from the right side of the plate. 

Devan Ornelas, ss, Notre Dame
An advanced defender who is also very twitch and athletic, Ornelas shows an interesting collection of tools while playing an outstanding shortstop. The Texas Christian commit is very smooth defensively with soft hands and made a bevy of outstanding plays at shortstop. The offensive approach gets slashy at times, but he has present barrel skills with the potential to be an above-average runner. 

Chad Born, of, Orange Lutheran
Born impressed for the second consecutive week, as the yet-uncommitted prospect is an absolute spark plug at the top of  a very talented Lancers lineup. Born has advanced barrel skills, who is also a pretty good runner, and grinds out impressive at-bats seemingly every time at the plate.  

Max Rajcic, rhp, Orange Lutheran
Perhaps owning the best velocity of any sophomore in the country, Rajcic didn't have his best start against Harvard-Westlake but can run his fastball up to 93 mph with significant running action. The breaking ball is of the high-spin variety, posting spin rates of around 3000 rpm last week, and can locate the pitch for strikes as the UCLA commit has some of the best pure stuff in the class. 

Jake Vogel, of, Huntington Beach
Vogel, similarly to Born, sets the tone early and often at the top of a talented Huntington Beach lineup. Vogel has present barrel skills and swings very hard, while also playing hard-nosed defense out in centerfield. The San Diego commit is, frankly, a very good baseball player who is a good runner too with advanced baserunning chops and reads pitchers and catchers very well when on the base paths. 

Matt Bardowell, rhp, Etiwanda
Bardowell turned in a very strong performance against a talented Mater Dei team and worked up to 89 mph, while sitting in the mid-80s, and flashing potential on a potential above-average-to-plus changeup. The breaking ball has some room to grow, but the changeup is good enough to throw against hitters of either handedness and in any count and the Southern California commit also swings it well in the three-hole for Etiwanda. 


2021

Alonzo Tredwell, rhp/1b, Mater Dei
The UCLA commit is going to be a name to know in a few years for most professional scouts, as the delivery, frame, and present velocity all project for potential monster-level tools. Tredwell stands at an immense 6-foot-5, 225-pounds with a fastball already in the mid-80s and a deep arsenal. He is a feared hitter as well, as he has loads of lefthanded power and can go deep on any swing. 

Cody Schrier, if, JSerra
The Southern California commit as a freshman is a very important piece for the eventual champion JSerra as he slots in the leadoff spot. He plays smooth defense over at second base, he will likely move over to shortstop once Curialle graduates, and puts forth consistently difficult at-bats with some present barrel skills too. 

Jack Holman, c, Etiwanda
With a 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame, Holman appears to be one of the premium lefthanded bats in the region for his class. Holman has a very clean swing path with a lot of power to project upon the lefthanded swing. Lefthanded hitting catchers are always in demand and Holman should have his choice of any school should he be committing soon. 

Shane Stafford, lhp, Huntington Beach
Stafford tossed an inning of relief as the lefthanded San Diego State commit ran his fastball up to 85 mph from the left side. The length and leanness of the frame coupled with the clean arm stroke with quickness all project for better velocity as he develops and he goes to a changeup quite often with confidence in his arsenal. 

Gage Jump, lhp, Jserra
Jump might have had the most impressive box score for any freshman during this event as he tossed six and two-thirds innings in the second round for JSerra. Jump has a pretty clean and fluid delivery and arm action while being able to mix his pitches effectively for strikes; he'll be an important piece for JSerra now and moving forward.

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin.  Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts.  Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes.  Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76.  No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel.  Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm.  Playing up a few classes, you might...
