College Notebook: April 8 | College Notebook: April 7 | Big arms take the stage
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.

College Top 25: Final Update
Vincent Cervino

With a postseason run for the ages, the Oklahoma Sooners (43-23) took home the National Championship and naturally finish the 2026 season as our No. 1 team in the land.  It is the third national title for the Sooners, playing in their 12th CWS and making their fourth championship series appearance.  They add to previous national titles won in 1951 and 1994 and did it by taking the most difficult path of any team in this year’s tournament.  In the NCAA Tournament, Oklahoma took down national seeds, No. 2 Georgia Tech twice, No. 3 Georgia twice, No. 5 UNC twice, No. 7 Alabama and No. 15 Kansas twice.  This was the second time that head coach Skip Johnson has led the Sooners to the CWS Championship Series since 2022 and the first time he has taken home the crown.  The North Carolina Tarheels (54-14) was one win away from their first national title and finish...

13u World Series Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Michael Wedgeworth (2030, Flomaton, AL) had put the two way ability on full display so far this week, dominating from both sides. On the mound Wedgeworth ran the fastball up to 84 (81-83) with ease to the delivery. Broke off a couple nasty curveballs that induced swing and miss, as well as freezing hitters for punch outs. Collected six in his four inning complete game. He also would not be denied at the plate going 3-5 in the first two days with two doubles. Very intriguing young player as the body continues to grow.  Tyler Bellush (2031, Summerville, SC) is a sure handed shortstop for the Canes Nation squad. Swings it from the left side of the plate and the barrel accuracy has really stuck out thus far. 3-4 through the first couple days with a double and two triples, Bellush has also walked twice and collected 3 RBI along the way. Yesterday against USA Prime with the bases loaded,...

16u WWBA North Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Oliver Lindstrom (2028, Green Bay, WI) created some of the loudest offensive moments of the weekend while producing across the board, finishing with six hits, eight RBI, and a home run. The right-handed hitter showed the ability to stay through the baseball and drive it with authority. Creates quality leverage through the lower half while arriving in strong hitting positions early, allowing the barrel to work with intent through the zone. The blend of power, athleticism, and all-fields impact stood out throughout the event.  Dominic Haigh (2028, South Bend, IN) was one of the most productive hitters at the event, collecting 10 hits while consistently creating pressure on opposing defenses. Made life difficult on pitchers with a relentless approach, routinely extending at-bats and forcing them to work deep into counts. The operation remains simple and efficient, featuring an early...

Jheremy Brown

Walter Izquierdo Jr. (2031, Miami, Fla.) showed off the upside on the mound for Beast Baseball 13u. The right-handed pitcher went four innings and collected three strikeouts while spreading two hits and two walks for one run. The fastball topped out at 80 and was consistently in the upper- 70s.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...
