Weekend Preview | College Player Database



During the season Perfect Game scouts will be traveling to some of the top series to watch the very best players in college baseball. Those observations, captured with both written notes and video, will be shared in the College Player Database as linked above, notes that can also be accessed on the players' individual PG profile pages. Throughout the season select reports will be shared in feature format to promote the players, the teams and college baseball as a whole.


Sean Wymer, RHP, Texas Christian



On a cold and overcast morning in Fort Worth on Sunday, Sean Wymer took the ball for the Horned Frogs looking to halt a TCU six-game losing streak against visiting Oklahoma. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound righthander, who has been converted from a dynamic relief pitcher into a weekend starter, still showed flashes of the brilliant stuff he displayed as a sophomore. However, after throwing 55 2/3 innings in relief in 2017, Wymer has not experienced the same level of success as a starter in 2018. 

His fastball sat between 89-91 and touched 92 mph. Still showing arm-side run and slight sink, his velocity was the biggest difference between Wymer as a starter and a reliever. Routinely as a reliever, he would sit 94-95 and touch 96 mph multiple times, even in multi-inning relief appearances. When located well to the corners, Wymer’s fastball still has enough on it to be effective. However, there were too many occasions on Sunday that saw his fastball in the middle of the plate. Surrendering 10 hits in seven innings of work, it was apparent that Oklahoma was intent on attacking the fastball. Wymer routinely filled up the strike zone with his curveball, with 11-to-5 shape and good depth, which sat between 73-76 mph. In addition, he utilized a late moving slider at 82-84, with 11-to-5 shape and a changeup between 82-84 mph, with slight fade.

Control of his arsenal was not the issue, as Wymer did not issue a free pass on the day, it was his command in the strike zone that was the issue. Routinely ahead of Sooner hitters with secondary offerings, it was the inability to get his fastball either located to the corners, or the lack of high-end velocity that created problems. The differential between his fastball and secondary stuff is not as wide as it was in 2017 and that could be the issue as well. 

He still has an easy and repeatable delivery and shows good feel for his release point. Wymer continues to utilize a high three-quarters arm-slot and keeps good direction to the plate. The only noticeable difference is the aforementioned velocity. Wymer, despite the mixed results as a starter, still profiles as a reliever at the next level and will get the opportunity to do so, more than likely by this June’s MLB Draft.


Charles King, RHP, Texas Christian



In need of someone to step up and fill the role of the game three starter on Sunday, TCU turned to sophomore Charles King. With Jared Janczak scratched from his start, King filled in well and gave TCU the lift they needed to end a six-game losing streak against visiting Oklahoma. Standing 6-foot-5 and 205-pounds, King took to the mound and had an aggressive mentality from the outset. With a longer arm circle in the back and full extension through a true three-quarters arm-slot, he challenged the Sooner lineup to hit his 92-94 mph fastball. Although there is length in his arm, it is still extremely quick, and with a crossfire delivery to the plate, King can create some deception with just his fastball. When he keeps good direction to the plate, there is sinking arm-side run to his fastball.

King also features a powerful slider, with 11-to-5 shape, that shows some harder down action and depth at 82-85 mph. Potentially and above-average offering, King will need to improve the consistency of his release point to reach that level. Throwing just under 65 percent of his pitches for strikes, he showed the ability to remain in the strike zone consistently. Using a faster paced delivery, he builds momentum to the plate quite well and with a projectable body that could hold more weight, King could develop into a solid draft prospect by the time he is draft eligible in 2019.


Devon Perez, RHP, Oklahoma



When Oklahoma starting pitcher Devon Perez (6-foot-5, 200-pounds) takes to the mound, he bears a physical resemblance to former Texas Ranger Alexi Ogando. Although he does not have the elite level velocity that Ogando possessed, he certainly has the ability to fill the strike zone with a three-pitch mix. With long limbs and a projectable body, the lean righthander creates quite a bit of tilt to his fastball. He has the ability to sink and cut his fastball, which sits in the 88-91 mph range, and shows that he can get right and lefthanded hitters out equally well with the pitch. Perez attacks the strike zone, staying away from the middle of the plate, but is far from a nibbler on the mound. Using both a slider and changeup as his secondary offerings, he pitches to contact and relies on an extremely good Sooner defense to get well into the middle innings of games.

Perez’s slider has later down action to it, especially when he gets to the front side and through the ball, which he accomplished with regularity on Sunday. Sitting between 77-80 mph, he was comfortable throwing the pitch in any count. The same could be said for his changeup, which has straighter arm side fade directly from his hand and remains in the 82-84 mph range. Even with an early morning start and wind chills in the thirties, Perez showed no issues filling up the strike zone with a simple and repeatable easy delivery. With a shorter stride and an arm slot just west of over-the-top, he consistently drove the ball to the lower half of the zone, on both sides of the plate. Constantly keeping pressure on the TCU hitters, Perez was able to navigate the Horned Frog line up in to the sixth inning. Completing 5 2/3 innings on the mound in just 82 pitches, he left the game with a lead and would eventually pick up his fourth win of the year, as well as clinch the third consecutive series win for the Big 12 leading Sooners.


Nathan Wiles, RHP, Oklahoma



Nathan Wiles has the look of a professional pitcher when the 6-foot-5, 240-pound sophomore takes to the mound. With a smooth, easy and effortless delivery, that he repeats consistently, Wiles shows solid feel for three pitches. His fastball is not overpowering presently, sitting between 90-92 mph, but he has such a clean arm action that more velocity projection would not be a reach. With a shorter, well connected, arm circle in the back and a high three-quarters release, he creates solid extension out front. This consistency allows Wiles to generate a good amount of tilt on his fastball that he can both sink and cut to each side of the plate. Showing above average fastball command, he consistently reached the lower half of the strike zone, on both halves of the plate, rather easily. 

In addition to his fastball, he showed good feel for spinning an 11-to-5 shaped, short-breaking slider at 80-82 mph. With a great feel for creating tunnels for his pitches, Wiles showed a curveball at 77-78 mph, with similar shape to his slider, but with more vertical drop. His straight changeup, which shows solid hand speed, was not a featured pitch, but stayed in the 80-82 mph range. With a feel for the strike zone and four pitches to work with, Wiles is a projectable starter at the next level. As a sophomore, with time to develop physically before he is draft eligible, it is not too much to project him working his way up into the higher rounds of the 2019 MLB Draft.

Geoff Billock

Cole Marquardt (2029, Montgomery, Texas) left no doubt this weekend as he came home with Tournament MVP honors for his work with Banditos 2028 Black. Went 7-10 with a double, a home run, a pair of triples, and the walk off single in the championship game. Projectable left-handed swing with plenty of tools to dream on. Bat to ball was on point all weekend and he had plenty of chances to show off an advanced run tool. Plenty to dream on moving forward. Callen Corley (2028, Houston, Texas) put together a stellar two-way performance for Houston Wildcatters Navy 2028. At the plate, he went 5-10 with a double, triple, and home run, driving in seven runs. Sinks into his lower half well and creates strong angles for leverage. Plenty of power upside remaining in that frame, to go along with the twitch already present. On the mound, Corley went four shutout innings, surrendering just one hit while...

Midwest Labor Day Classic Scout Notes

Brayden Powell

Ryan Jones (2027, Tinley Park, IL) was one of the most productive hitters of the weekend, collecting six hits, including three doubles and a home run, while driving in nine runs. The left-handed hitter consistently got the barrel out front and created hard contact throughout the event. Working from an open setup with high hands, he features a compact swing that allows him to get to the ball quickly. His hand speed stood out and helped him drive the baseball to multiple parts of the field. Jones showed a strong understanding of pitches he could handle and rarely missed opportunities to do damage. The swing remains efficient through the zone and produces carry off the barrel. His combination of consistent contact and extra-base impact made him a key offensive contributor all weekend. Uncommitted  JP Elbert (2027, Dubuque, IA) put together an impressive tournament, finishing with five...

Walk. It. Off! ‘27 IF Drew Giles (GA) calls game here as he hammers a ball over the CF wall for a solo HR to win it in the bottom of the 7th. #FLQualifier pic.twitter.com/YrzspVZzUY — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) September 12, 2026 Drew Giles (2027, Brunswick, Ga.) took home MVP honors from the weekend after hitting .385 including a walkoff home run during pool play. Giles helped lead his Canes team to victory and did so with the bat. The swing is super short and simple and he gets immense jump off the barrel. It’s a level path through the zone but the blend of hit and power showed out all weekend for the MVP.  August Backman (2027, Venice, Fla.) had a solid weekend on both sides of the ball: hitting .333 over three games and also sitting 88-91 mph on the mound. Backman, a Florida commit who is nationally ranked, has a three pitch mix highlighted by a really...

Joseph Mosley 2028, Hendersonville, Tenn.) showed the upside all weekend for Southeast Rawlings Mad Mavericks. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a low leg lift stride. Creates separation in the back shoulder with strength through the hands into a flat bat plane and line drive lift in the swing. Stays balanced throughout the swing and showed the feel to use the whole field. The outfielder has an athletic, strong 6-foot, 190-pound frame with more gap-to-gap type power to be unlocked.
