Florida Super Qualifier Notes

Perfect Game Tournament Staff

Providing a spark at the top of the order for Platinum Baseball, Jake Carsello (2020, Plantation, Fla.) got things started with a first inning run following an infield hit. Showing off his speed, Carsello stole a bag, which put himself in scoring position. The 5-foot-9, 140-pound center fielder moves well and is an above average defender in the outfield.

Carsello’s teammate Franklin Vasquez (2021, Hollywood, Fla.) showed an aggressive pull-side approach, going 2-for-2 with a double. Both hits were driven into left field, and Vasquez has good bat speed. He is comfortable in the box with an opened stance and uses a leg lift. Getting his front foot down early, Vasquez is able to see the ball well and look to drive the ball.

Ben Lira (2021, Fort Myers, Fla.) also went 2-for-2 playing for Canes Baseball. The 5-foot-10 outfielder shows a solid approach at the plate and can work a count. Doubling to left field in his first at-bat, Lira jumped on a fastball and didn’t miss it. He has a good feel for the game and is athletic.

A tall, lean infielder, Evan Lightbourn (2020, Parkland, Fla.) has a projectable body and once filled out will have a strong, athletic presence on the field. He has a compact swing with no wasted movements. He keeps his long arms inside the baseball and can attack the middle of the field with line drives at the plate.

Flashing solid defensive skills behind the plate, Logan Piedra (2021, Pembroke Pines, Fla.) is an athletic catcher with some present strength. He showed off his arm strength by throwing out a runner attempting to steal second base. Later in the game, Piedra used his quickness to pick a ball in the dirt, popped up and applied the tag on the hitter attempting to run to first after he swung through strike three. Piedra’s tag was applied before the hitter-turned-runner could even get out of the batter’s box.

The catcher showed a solid approach at the plate as well. Falling behind 0-2 in the count, Piedra went into a two-strike approach fouling off a few pitches. He then simplified his swing and went back up the middle for a base hit.

Slugging two doubles from the leadoff spot, Lucas Serra (2020, Miami Lakes, Fla.) combined his strong barrel awareness and speed to set the tone for South Florida Select 16u. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound center fielder has a quick bat through the zone and has a nice line drive approach.

Hitting behind Serra in the two-hole, Nicolas Boza (2020, Miami Lakes, Fla.) uses an inside-out swing with line drive results. Picking up a hard contact single to center, Boza stayed inside the ball to knock it up the middle. He has a strong lower half with room to add on upper body strength later on.

One of the best throws from the entire tournament came out of the hand of left fielder Jonathan Ramallo (2020, Miami, Fla.) A toolsy player standing 6-foot-1, 185-pounds, Ramallo has a plus arm from the outfield and throws with accuracy. He unleashed a bullet about 280 feet away from home plate and deliver a strike to the catcher on a line for an out after a base hit.

A physical hitter that consistently hits loud line drives, Frank Elissalt (2020, Miami, Fla.) collected a few hits vs Florida Elite. With present strength and a strong 185-pound, 6-foot-1 frame, Elissalt generates a ton of power with his quick bat. He does damage with power on the pull side currently and can drive the ball into the gaps.

Third baseman Marcos Soler (2019, Miami, Fla.) provided a spark to Florida Elite’s offense against US Elite 2020, going 3-for-3 out of the three-hole with a double and three RBI. The 6-foot-3 slugger covers a lot of the plate with his long arms and has a fast bat through the zone.

Lefthander Joseph Delgado (2020, Hialeah, Fla.) started the game for Florida Elite and worked 4 1/3 innings. A strike thrower topping at 78 mph with his fastball and flashing a curveball with downer action, Delgado collected seven strikeouts. He is athletic with repeatable mechanics and has a good pitchers body at 6-foot, 180-pounds.

Yoidel Cabrera (2020, Miami, Fla.) quickly threw two-thirds of an inning, needing just 10 pitches to strike out both hitters he faced. Attacking the strike zone, Cabrera sat at 81-83 mph with his fastball, showing good arm speed. His fastball rode in on hitters and was tough to touch. Listed as a shortstop, Cabrera has tremendous athleticism and a strong arm.

SWFL Nation 2020 had a huge win over the GT Clowns, winning 22-0. Helping lead the offensive explosion was McFaddin (Mac) Moise (2020, Cape Coral, Fla.) going 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI. The Florida Gulf Coast recruit swings the bat well with a compact swing that is direct to the baseball.

The catcher also ripped a walk-off double to center field in the championship game against South Florida Select 16u.

Moise’s teammate Ridge Skarbek (2020, Indialantic, Fla.) had a strong day at the plate going 3-for-3 with three runs scored. The 5-foot-9 switch-hitter has a quick bat from both sides of the plate and a line drive approach to all fields. He plays a solid second base and has some utility value with the ability to play multiple positions.

Elite Squad 16u Rodriguez defeated SWFL Elite 2020 by a score of 4-1 on Monday morning. Throwing a complete game for Elite Squad was Cole Stasio (2020, Davie, Fla.) The 6-foot-2, 185-pound righthander has a big, durable body and shouldered the workload for six innings, striking out five and sitting 75-82 with his fastball. He showed the ability to attack both halves of the plate and pounded the zone.

Stasio got help from Albert Sanchez (2020, Hialeah, Fla.) who ripped a double to left field and scored a run. Sanchez has present pull power, and at only 5-foot-5, will grow and should see the power translate to home runs. His fly ball had good carry on it and Sanchez has good barrel awareness.

Center fielder Adrian Ojea (2020, Lake Worth, Fla.) hit well out of the two-hole for Banditos Florida 16u Prospects. Going 2-for-2 with a double and run scored, Ojea has a line drive swing and works counts well, getting walked twice. The lefthanded hitting outfielder has an ideal approach for the second spot in the order and plays a solid outfield, as well.

His teammate Trevor Scott (2021, Jupiter, Fla.) collected a few hits and the first baseman has some projection, standing 5-foot-11, 175-pounds. Scott has a quick barrel through the zone and sprays line drives all over the field.

Avery Thomas (2020, Deerfield Beach, Fla.) is a tall, athletic shortstop at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds. Thomas moves well on the field with a good first step and has some explosive hands at the plate. He drove in two runs for East Coast Baseball, going 2-for-3 in the process against TSA Elite 16u.

Miguel Rosado (2020, Cooper City, Fla.) worked six easy innings for South Florida Select. The 6-foot righthander has solid arm speed that generates a fastball that tops at 81 mph. He attacked the zone well and got on top of his pitches, creating a good angle. He mixed in a curveball at 68 mph and used both pitches to strikeout eight hitters in his six frames of work.

In the championship game, Luis Fuentes (2020, Coral Springs, Fla.) turned in a masterful pitching performance, going six strong, no-hit innings. The righthander was 82-85 mph with his fastball that he worked in and out well. He showed solid command of his changeup at 74 mph that got swings and misses to lefthanded hitters. The pitch came out of the same arm speed as his fastball and showed deception. Fuentes struck out six batters and shows how tough he can be to hit when on. Driving off his back leg well, he works his whole body into his delivery and gets solid extension.

Pitching equally well and picking up a win in the process, Sehjin Daley (2020, Tampa, Fla.) threw seven strong frames of one-hit ball. The 6-foot, 195-pound righty has a durable, workhorse body type and proved it with his shutout. He mixed in a curveball and slider combo to complement his 80-84 mph fastball. He showed solid feel for both pitches, landing them for strikes at time and showing the ability to expand the zone later in counts.

Another day, another Gavin Greene (‘28 GA) barrel as the @AuburnBaseball commit is now hitting well over .500 on the event #NEQ<ahref="https: pg_scouting?ref_src="twsrc%5Etfw'">@PG_Scouting @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Lf6G8AExjB pic.twitter.com/LFMueYHMxB</ahref="https:> — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) September 14, 2026 Gavin Greene (2028 Alpharetta, GA) played a major factor in AZ Diamondbacks Scout’s Championship run, finishing his weekend with a .528 AVG and 7 RBI. The 5-foot-11, 175 pound Auburn commit was simply a hit machine regardless of who was on the mound, showcasing the ability to handle velo with ease and repeat the stroke at a high level. Starting from a narrow and upright, slightly open base, Greene does a great job of working directly to the point of impact with consistent hard line drive impact to the pull side of the field. He...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 68

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
Are You Fixated on the Wrong Variable? Why Pitch Count Alone Was Never Going to Prevent Arm Injuries   You know a family this happened to. You might be one. They did everything right. They followed the pitch count. They honored the rest days. They tracked innings. They sat him when the chart said sit. They were the parents who spoke up when a coach wanted one more inning in a bracket game. And he got hurt anyway. I've been working with throwers for a long time, and that conversation is the one I have quite often… A parent sitting across from me genuinely bewildered because they followed the rules and the rules did not work. They usually assume they missed something. Most of the time they didn't. They managed exactly what they were told to manage. The problem is that what they were told to manage is one variable out of four.   The Uncomfortable Part First   Throwing...

Perfect Game Des Moines Elite Scouting Showcase 2026 Indianola. IA Ashley Mears What started off a perfect weather weekend, unfortunately was cut short due to thunderstorms mid-morning on Sunday. In the 18u Division, the Iowa Gold Prospects and the Midwest Speed National Kotzmacher were undefeated. In the 16U Division, 515 Fastpitch Twogood and Iowa Premier Gold- Brower. The tournament featured a ton of solid hitters and pitchers from across the state and Minnesota.

South Underclass Qualifier Scout Notes

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
Article Image
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...

Jason Phillips

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. Collected four hits, including two triples, to drive in an RBI and came around to score three runs. Exciting player with two-way upside. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went two innings in relief with three strikeouts and spread three hits and three walks for one earned run. The fastball ran up to 87 and paired it with...

Zain Valdiva (‘28,CA) with an absolute nuke! 💣 https://t.co/oCCIuVeNFQ pic.twitter.com/xK9sirEk64 — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) September 11, 2026 Zain Valdivia, 3B, La Quinta, CA. ZT National (2028) Physical, right-handed hitter with present strength through the lower half and a frame that already looks the part of a corner infielder. He gets into his legs and stays connected through contact. The swing is aggressive and long through the zone with real extension out front. The ball jumps off the barrel and the power is present, Primary third baseman. Moves well enough for his size with some lateral quickness and a strong arm across the diamond. Two-way value exists; the fastball has been up to the upper 80s, 90, but the bat is the reason to follow him. Noah Paek (‘27,CA) with another solid hit cashing in 2 RBI. Kid plays with infectious energy....
