Florida Super Qualifier Notes

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.

Quinton Hall

Asher Contreras (2030 | Las Vegas, NV) The 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitter and outfielder was one of the most dangerous hitters in the tournament for Wow Factor Nv 2030, stuffing the stat sheet while displaying an impressive combination of power and speed. He finished the weekend with 9 hits, including two doubles and a home run, while driving in seven runs and scoring five more.

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...

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days.
