13u/14u PG Invitational Championship feature


Ike Irish (2022, Hudsonville, Mich.) – The lefty swinging catcher had a good weekend hitting in the middle of the order, showing off a smooth lefthanded swing with some jump off the barrel culminating in multiple upper-80s exit velocities. The power potential projects extremely well and he shows some catch and throw skills with a 2.3 second pop time for a caught stealing attempt in game.

Brock Porter (2022, Milford, Mich.) – After impressing at the 14u Southeast Showcase, Porter upped the ante by touching 86 mph during his time on the mound. Porter throws three pitches for strikes, with advanced feel to spin and good hand speed on the changeup, with a loose, fast arm that projects. The offensive profile is intriguing as well as Porter excels currently at all facets of the game.

Tate Jacobsen (2022, Shawnee, Kan.) – Jacobsen showed out well for the third-place finisher Sticks Baseball. Jacobsen has a strong presence in the middle of the infield where he makes plays to both sides and showed off the arm strength well on the mound with a fastball up to 81 mph later on in the event. The swing is simple, with a direct path and present quickness in his hands where he can spray line drives to all fields.

Ryan Donley (2022, Chesterton, Ind.) – The southpaw started game one for a talented Indiana Bulls team that took third place during the event. Donley has pretty clean, fluid, and repeatable mechanics with a short, loose arm stroke that is consistently on time from an over-the-top arm slot. He creates plane with his fastball that sat 77-80 mph and he creates good angle on the fastball particularly when working to the glove side.

Tyler Cerny (2022, Greenwood, Ind.) – The shortstop for the Bulls showed off a lot of athleticism and barrel skills from the leadoff spot. Cerny handles the barrel well and sprays line drives to all fields while moving well athletically from side to side. The advanced athleticism and feel stand out as Cerny has desirable traits from a future shortstop/leadoff combination.

Keaton Mahan (2022, Hartford City, Ind.) – Showing off some of the biggest juice from the left side was Mahan as he displayed some of the best bat speed of the event. Mahan has a slightly longer, smooth lefthanded stroke with natural loft and leverage to the pull side. He has tremendous strength through the point of impact as he could create exit velocities of 90+ with multiple extra base hits.

Cole Munhall (2022, Cumming, Ga.) – The righthander worked exclusively from the stretch and was near the top of the velocity charts registering a best recorded fastball of 84 mph on the weekend. Munhall flashed some steep downhill plane and sinking action on the 81-84 mph pitch. The arm speed is intriguing and although he is a secondary pitcher, Munhall has a lot of potential on the mound.

Kai Wagner (2022, Parker, Colo.) – Another lefthanded hitting shortstop, Wagner was an integral part of a talented Team Colorado squad that made it to the playoffs. Wagner has a short, repeatable swing that stays on plane nicely and projects well with added strength. In the three-hole, Wagner was a key piece of the offensive attack for Team Colorado and included a big run-scoring triple in the playoffs.

Tony Padilla (2022, Aurora, Colo.) – The cleanup hitter for Team Colorado, Padilla was very impressive behind the dish for the team, as his raw catch-and-throw skills were extremely impressive. He posted best pop times of 2.19 and 2.26 seconds that included a couple of caught stealing attempts, and Padilla’s offensive approach is strength-oriented as he is looking to drive the ball with authority to the pull side.

Colton Sims (2022, Russellville, Ark.) – Another righthander with a loose, fast arm was Sims as he turned in a strong performance that culminated in a win for the Sticks. There is a good amount of balance to the delivery and he showed off one of the best breaking balls of the event with sharp tilt and plenty of power up to 69 mph. The fastball was up in the upper-70s throughout and he projects to throw much harder in the future.

Andrew Dutkanych (2022, Indianapolis, Ind.) – Starting game one of the playoffs with the Bulls, Dutkanych showed off a crisp, repeatable delivery. With a short, repeatable arm stroke and an over-the-top arm slot, Dutkanych gets downhill very well and worked 78-82 mph while maintaining his velocity well. The righthander showed off an effective three-pitch mix, with a changeup at 70 mph and a curveball at 63 mph, and turned in a very polished performance.

Cade Climie (2022, Sugar Land, Tex.) – Climie highlighted a strong pitching matchup between himself and Brock Porter of the Hitdogs. The righthander worked up to 81 mph with balance to the delivery and a loose arm stroke. The curveball could be thrown for strikes and Climie is also a legitimate two-way prospect as he swing the stick well in the cleanup spot for Mizuno with natural loft and quickness.

William Turner (2022, Hartselle, Ala.) – The southpaw twirled a gem against an impressive offensive squad as Turner went six and two-thirds strong for Hartselle. Turner has a loose, easy arm stroke with a fastball up to 78 mph with lots of present arm side life to the pitch. He mixes his pitches well in a low effort delivery, including a curveball for strikes, and projects very well with advanced command and feel on the mound.

Jaden Anderson (2022, Milton, Ga.) - Anderson showed off lots of strength and pull side pop from the cleanup spot for Team Elite as he launched a screaming line drive home run during the championship final. Anderson works almost exclusively to pull the ball but has lots of bump and carry off the barrel when squared and looks the part of an intriguing power prospect for the class.

Wyatt Fooks (2022, Dacula, Ga.) - The two-hole for championship finalist Team Elite, Fooks has present bat speed and hand quickness from the right side. Fooks put on a pretty strong display of plate awareness and bat-to-ball skills, as the righthanded hitter grinded out tough at-bats and put good swings on the ball when putting it in play. The line drive stroke works well with squared liners to all fields and he looks the part of an impressive hitter for his class.

Cooper Blausser (2022, Alpharetta, Ga.) - Showing off a strong array of tools during the event was the Team Elite shortstop Blausser with present athleticism, speed, and barrel control all standing out. He was timed at a best 4.6 seconds to first base from the right side and the athleticism plays well over at shortstop where he gets correct and quick first steps on hard grounders and has no issues fielding to either side. The arm strength is pretty good for the age and the swing is fluid as his hands work well into the swing and he has no problems turning the barrel over for hard hit contact almost every at-bat.

– Vincent Cervino


Charlie Bussey (2022, Graniteville, S.C.) – Bussey is a very athletic player and showed it during Saturday’s double header both at the plate and in the infield. The South Carolina native can really swing the bat with advanced raw bat speed. On top of that he is a quick twitch middle infielder that makes each play with ease and smooth hands.

Zac Dart (2022, Spanish Fork, Utah) – Dart has a really athletic delivery featuring good fastball command. He was up to 80 mph on Saturday consistently living in the upper-70s. The 6-foot 155-pound righthander projects very well on the mound and showed potential with his curveball as well.

Binyam Gebhardt (2022, Valley Center, Calif.) – Gebhardt is an athletic outfielder with good arm strength for his age. In right field on one play in particular Gebhardt made a diving play ranging to his right. He then popped up firing a strike to first base to double up a base runner.

Chate Amick (2022, Jeffersonville, Ind.) – Amick started for the Indiana Bulls on Saturday earning a win in doing so and showed a high ceiling as a righthanded pitcher as well. Amick’s delivery features a really loose arm and clean delivery. Amick sat 78-81 mph with his fastball and really projects nicely as a pitcher.

Grant Fahrlander (2022, Carmel, Ind.) -  The Indiana Bulls catcher showed advanced tools behind the plate. With a quick transfer and accurate arm in the Bulls’ 6-1 win Saturday, Fahrlander threw out a runner with a strike to the right side of the second base bag.

Tanner Folds (2021, Calhoun, Ga.) – One of the older players in the event is lefthander Tanner Folds of the Georgia Scorpions. The lefty’s fastball sat 76-79 with occasional life to his arm side. Folds has a working arm and throws with intent for strikes.

Payton McCracken (2022, Murphy, N.C.) – McCracken has a wiry build and sat 76-81 while touching 82 in his first inning on the mound. While struggling with command on this day, McCracken did still show a quick arm and good velocity for the Tri State Arsenal.

Donavan Canterberry (2022, Wyandotte, Mich.) – Canterberry worked 78-80 mph for Tri State. He throws with some effort, but generates good arm speed an angle. He pumps his glove to start his delivery and when doing so, it gets the arm going nicely through the circle and Canterberry’s arm really works. With Canterberry’s size at 6-foot 155-pounds and arm speed, it is likely the righthander will throw hard in the years to come.

Hortenbury was probably one of my personal favorites, as this was my first time seeing it in action. It’s an athletic two-way profile that has a chance to do both at the next level. But what stood out to me, was his potential on the mound. The left-handed pitcher moves very well and is comfortable there. Has the mound presence Supplemented with a free-flowing and loose arm from a higher ¾ slot, he pounded the zone in his lone appearance. He went...

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...

A tightly contested battle between Canes Florida 2029 and Florida Flames 16u capped the 16U Florida Elite Championship, with the Canes earning a 6-5 walk-off win on Monday at JetBlue Park Stadium. “It means a lot to this team specifically because this is their first win as a group,” Canes head coach Alec Bettinger said. “We’ve come up short a couple times, so seeing one go through the hoop here is really nice for the boys.” The Canes defense came out hot, led by Cannon Tyler who started on the mound for the Canes. Tyler set the tone from the start, opening the game with a strikeout. He allowed no hits while striking out three over five innings. His fastball sat 77-82 mph. Another strikeout and a pickoff at second base ended the inning. Race McDaniel started on the mound for the Flames. The left-hander pitched six innings, striking out seven batters. The...
