14u PG Series Classic Notes


Talent was present in abundance on the first day of competition of the 2018 14u PG Series Classic at JetBlue Park. The fickle Florida weather cooperated, and play was never interrupted, which allowed the gifted individuals on hand to play with a pace that is usually reserved for more experienced players.

The Gulf Coast squad displayed solid skills both individually and collectively. Andrew Barrett (2022, Debray, Fla.) is the very accomplished leadoff hitter and paced the GC offense. The patient righthanded swinger used a short, quick, and compact swing to spray hits all around the diamond. Center fielder Nic Litke (2021, Mountain Brook, Ala.) displayed athletic ability in patrolling the middle of the Gulf Coast outfield. He is also an accomplished hitter and shows a consistent flat path, advanced bat-to-ball skills and a middle-of-the-field mentality.

Julio Garcia (2022, Baytown, Texas) is a two-way threat for the South Texas team. Garcia plays a stellar third base and uses quick feet and a strong arm to make both the routine and difficult play at the hot corner. He also showed plus ability on the mound. He is a two-pitch righthander who works the edges with a well-commanded fastball that he works especially well to his glove side. His velocity (79-80 mph) appears much faster as his delivery and arm actions add to his deception. He also has a plus breaking ball that is a swing-and-miss pitch. The slurvy 72-73 mph fastball shows late life at the plate.

John Michael Ramirez (2022, San Antonio, Texas) is a very talented catcher who has the presence of a veteran receiver. He has excellent footwork and easy actions in handling his staff. He calls a very mature game and keeps his club in the moment. He has a plus arm and a very quick trigger.

The club from Mexico is a fundamentally sound team with a collection of players that display a passion for the game that is matched by few. Leading the way for the red-clad Mexican nine is Francisco Leija Rodriquez (2022, Nuevo Leon, Mexico), The strong armed righthanded pitcher displayed a solid three-pitch mix highlighted by a fastball (80-82 mph) that was lively and constantly around the plate. He complimented his well-commanded heater with a sharp, late-breaking curveball (62 mph) and a very polished, tumbling changeup (68 mph).

Luis Raul Cerna Villareal(2022, Sonora, Mexico) is the very talented shortstop for Team Mexico.  He is very smooth at the key middle infield spot and shows great anticipatory skills, soft hands and a plus arm that is highly accurate. Controlling the pitching staff for Mexico is Victor Ismael Ortega Rodgriguez (2022, Mexico). The gifted receiver has an easy, comfortable and very reliable style behind the plate. His actions are very smooth and allow him to set up and frame with a veteran’s presence. He has quick and sure actions in and with his throws. He gains ground well and gets the ball out of his hand quickly and with plus velocity and accuracy.

The Coastal club is loaded with gifted players. They play remarkably well together considering this is the first time they have taken the field in competition as a unit. Austin Williamson (2022, Denver, N.C.) toed the bump early for his club and was very impressive. He is a command and control righthander who pitched ahead and pitched to contact. His fastball had solid late movement, especially to his glove side and down. He lived on the edges. He mixed in a 12-to-6 breaking curveball that showed consistent late break at the plate.

Drew Lanzo (2022, Indian Trail, N.C.) was second on the mound for the Coastal team, and he, like Williamson, used a natural ability to throw strikes, work fast and pitch to contact. The lefty used a longer arm action and had plus arm-side run and sink on his fastball.

A team that is very entertaining and fun to watch was the Puerto Rico-Blue squad. The Puerto Rico nine brings energy and enthusiasm as well as a wealth of talent to the ballpark.

Setting the tempo and style for the team from Puerto Rico is their very talented catcher, Luis Gonzalez (2021, Lares, Puerto Rico). The heady and gifted receiver shows poise and command in handling his staff. He also commands and leads his infield like a veteran. Gonzalez shows plus catch-and-throw skills and is unafraid to pop the ball around the diamond. He has soft hands and easy and confident movements.

Xavier Solla (2021, Bayamon, Puerto Rico) is the slick-fielding shortstop for Team PR-Blue. He has an ease and grace at short that few his age can emulate. He has great anticipatory skills, very quick feet, outstanding lateral movement in either direction and a plus arm that is highly accurate. Solla is also a force offensively and makes consistently solid contact with a short, flat swing path. His speed and ability to run the bases is a great weapon for his team.

Using a slightly open stance at the plate and a power hitter’s lift at contact, Edgar Gonzalez (2021, Lares, Puerto Rico) is a strong, righthanded slugger for Puerto Rico–Blue. He makes consistent contact and shows impressive pull-side power.

Luis Lopez (2021, Cantano, Puerto Rico) is the very patient and talented leadoff hitter for Puerto Rico–Blue. He understands his position at the top of the order and works the count like a more seasoned player. He uses a flatter swing path and a middle-of-the-field mentality to hit line drives from gap-to-gap. Once on the bases, he is a speedy, instinctive and aggressive runner who pushes the action.

The Northeast club also put a team on the field that displayed a number of individuals with very projectable skills. Hayden Root (2022, Knoxville, Tenn.) led the way early for the Northeast team. The righthanded swinger showed a short and quick path and made consistent solid contact. He is also a plus runner who can and will aggressively steal a base. J.T. Cap (2022, Mechanicsburg, Pa.) displayed an ability to drive the ball with some authority from gap-to-gap. The patient righthanded hitter never expanded the zone and used a quicker action to the ball, and a longer finish, to hit the ball with power to the bigger parts of the field. Alexander Cordero (2022, East Elmhurst, N.Y.) is a lefthanded swinger with a classic, smooth path that allows him to consistently get his barrel on plane and to the ball. He appears to have an advanced ability to recognize pitches and to never expand the zone unnecessarily. He is quick through the zone and the ball jumps off his bat. On the bases, he is a disrupter. He is instinctive, aggressive, and fast.

Justin Blumenthal (2022, Greenland, N.H.) is a line drive-oriented hitter. He has short, compact swing that is very quick and always on plane. He drives the ball with authority to the middle of the diamond. Like many of his teammates, he is also an aggressive runner and will take the extra base. Matthew Grabmann (2022, Dartmouth, Canada) is a solidly built righthanded hitter who shows some impressive pull-side power. He is quiet and easy to the ball and has a quick trigger with a slugger’s lift at contact.

The Mid-Atlantic club is paced by gifted athleticism and strong pitching. TayShaun Watson (2023, Emporia, Va.) had his considerable talents on display in morning action. One of the PG Series Classic’s younger players may also be one of tournament’s most naturally talented. Youthfulness did not keep Watson from using his gifts early and often. His athletic build, at 6-foot, 183-pounds, was evident. His strength in his swing was impressive. The twitchy Watson has a quick yet strong swing path and the ball jumps off his bat. His top tool, his ability to run with a purpose is very impressive. He is a heady, instinctive and aggressive runner who can and will steal any base at any time. In the outfield, he possesses easy and smooth actions and a plus-plus arm.

Hunter Sturgeon (2021, Hayes, Va.) is an impressive command and control righthander who was masterful in setting the pace of the ballgame. He worked fast and confidently using a solid two-pitch mix. His fastball, while never topping 78 mph, was thrown with a purpose. He worked the edges and added and subtracted with his fastball like a veteran hurler. He complemented his fastball with a tight-spinning slurve of a breaking pitch that showed consistent 11-to-5 action. His clean, three-quarters arm slot is highly repeatable. He was as mechanically sound a pitcher as there was at the complex on Monday.

Alvin Keels (2022, Chesapeake, Va.) hunts fastballs. The strong righthanded hitter can drive the ball from foul line to foul line and is truly impressive on pitches middle-in, where his shows plus pull-side pop.

At the top is of the North squad’s batting order is a polished and poised righthanded hitter Sean Levan (2022, Laureldale, Pa). The steady Levan is an accomplished leadoff hitter who uses a short and compact swing path to consistently drive the ball to the bigger parts of the field. He is also a heady and smart baserunner who can steal a bag.

Holding down the second base position for the North club is Andrew Trayer (2021, Sinking Spring, Pa.). The smooth-fielding second sacker shows easy moments and is especially solid going to his glove side. He possesses a shortstop’s athleticism and a third baseman’s arm strength. Trayer is also talented enough with his glove on his hand to play a number of positions, including the outfield.
th
The Deep South club had their individual talents on display quite early at JetBlue. This team also has a true international flavor to it and acted as if they had played together for the entire summer, if not longer. Setting the tone early for the Deep South club was their starting pitcher, Brennan Phillips (2022, Owasso, Okla.). The southpaw used a high three-quarters arm slot with a clean arm action and highly repeatable mechanics to wear the zone out. He also displayed a poise and used a steady, deliberate pace, an attribute usually reserved for more seasoned competitors. He is a command and control pitcher who forced the action by always locating around the strike zone. He showed consistent arm-side run and sink and just missed bats with his fastball (78-81 mph) and his sharp-breaking 12-to-6 curveball was a knee-buckler.

Jacobo Eligio Cueto Lugo (2021, Santiago, Dominican Repulbic) is an impressively built 6-foot-4, 175-pound righthanded hitter. He is long and lean and has a powerful swing that he uses great leverage in and with. He showed solid pull-side pop and advanced swing mechanics in which he was able to generate consistent raw power.

Another multi-positional player in the PG Series Classic who showed solid ability to get his barrel to the ball consistently is Angel Bonilla (2022, Peoria, Ariz.). This Arizona sparkplug, who can swing the stick, uses a strong and quick bat path to hit line drives from foul line to foul line. Once on the bases he shows innate speed and a natural ability to run the bases.

The righthanded closer for the Deep South club, David Guevara (2022, Ciudad Victoria, Mexico), was not on the mound very long because he took care of business rather quickly. Guevara used a high three-quarters arm slot and an 83-85 mph riding fastball to close out a close victory for his club. He did not show, nor did he need any, secondary pitches. His heater was good enough on this day.

The Mid-South team had a solid hitter in their lineup Monday morning in Tanner Knowles (2022, Kathleen, Ga.). Knowles used a patient approach and a short, compact swing path to drive the ball consistently and with authority to the middle of the diamond. Knowles also displayed plus running ability and a heady approach to getting around the bases.

The Midwest Squad had a number of players displaying their gifts in later action. Korbin Griffin (2021, Richland, Mich.) is a long and lean lefty who took the ball first for the Midwestern nine. The gifted southpaw pitched off his impressive fastball (82-83 mph) that showed heavy sink and arm-side run. What set him apart from a number of pitchers in day one was his ability to command and control his repertoire. He mixed in a 11-to-5 breaking slider (65-66 mph), but he lived mostly with his above average fastball that overmatched his opponents.

Ayden Robinson-Wayne is the gritty, tough, smooth, and poised shortstop for the Midwest team. He displayed outstanding anticipatory abilities and always appeared to be moving to the correct spot on the diamond as the pitch was being made. He has soft hands and a rocket of a right arm. His ability to move laterally in either direction was as good, if not better, than any shortstop who played at JetBlue on Monday. Offensively, he swings a confident bat and shows the ability to consistently get his barrel to the ball. He is a plus runner who is very instinctive on the bases.

A.J. Scott (2022, New Albany, Ohio) was a great complement at second base to Robinson-Wayne and it looked like the two have been playing together for quite some time. Scott is slick fielder who has soft hands and a great ability to move especially well to his glove side. He has a playable arm and understands positioning. He can also turn the double play confidently.

Brady Banker (2022, Antioch, Ill.) is a tough out. The athletically built lefthanded swinger shows great poise at the dish and never expands the zone unnecessarily. He has a short, compact, middle-of-the-field swing path and a great ability to consistently get his barrel to the ball.

The team from California may have traveled the farthest to get here but they were ready to play when game time came, and they displayed a collective talent that was impressive. Leading the way at the top of the lineup was Ryan Neves (2021, Huntington Beach, Calif.). The cool and calm lefthanded hitter used a patient approach and a solid inside-out swing path to drive the ball up the middle and to the off field. On the bases, the speedy Neves is a threat to steal any base at any time.

Hitting behind Neves in the two-spot for California is Drew Gustafson (2022, Northridge, Calif.). Gustafson uses a different approach at the dish than Neves. Like his leadoff partner, Gustafson is a lefthanded swinger, but that is where the similarities end. Gustafson is aggressively hunting fastballs and he is looking to clear his hips and hit the ball, with authority, to the pull side. And, more times than not, he does so. Like so many power swinging lefties, he looks middle-in and down. His path has some lift but he always appears to get his barrel on plane and to the ball.

Spencer Seid (2022, San Marino, Calif.) pitched in relief for the team from California and he pitched impressively and with some dominating stuff. The compact lefty, who uses a short and quick arm swing, pounds the strike zone. He is a two-pitch hurler who effectively pitches to both sides of the plate. His fastball (80-81 mph) is deceptive and appears to jump at the hitter. It has active arm-side run and late sink at the plate. His 12-to-6 breaking curveball is a snapper and dives late at the dish.

The Central club ran a number of talented players on to the field in later action at JetBlue. The Central middle infield was led by Peyton Shaffer (2022, Brock, Texas). He displayed great actions at short and used quick feet, soft hands and a plus arm to hold down the key middle infield spot. At the dish, Shaffer is a contact first hitter who uses a patient approach and short inside-out path to drive the ball up the middle and to the opposite field.

Turning in a yeoman’s performance on the mound for the Central club was Grant Hodge (2022, Little Rock, Ark.). The powerfully built righthander is an advanced command and control pitcher who works fast and confidently. He showed two solid pitches and worked the edges with both. His fastball (80-81 mph) showed sink down and ride up in the zone. His curveball (67-68 mph) was a 12-to-6 breaker that missed bats. On top of his ability on the mound, Hodge can also swing the bat. He uses a solid lower half and a strong, yet controlled swing path, to drive the ball consistently to the pull side.

A standout catching for the Central club was Logan Coleman (2022, Kempner, Texas). He is cat-quick behind the plate. He shows easy actions and calls a smart and advanced game. His throwing ability is certainly projectable. He gains ground quickly and gets the ball on its way with a quick trigger. He has plus arm strength and his action allow his throws to be highly accurate.

Max McClusky (2022, Winter Garden, Fla.) was a leader on the South squad. His ability to confidently man the shortstop position was quite impressive. He displayed advanced actions with an easy set-up and his first-step quickness gets him in a position to make every play. He has outstanding lateral movement and is especially sound moving to his glove side. He also displayed a plus arm that is highly accurate. He can also swing the stick. He is a contact-first hitter who uses a flat path and quick hands to get his bat consistently on plane and to the ball.

Another solid catcher present at JetBlue Monday who showed advanced and projectable skills is the South’s Schyler Arroyo (2022, Chuluota, Fla.). He is athletically gifted and this athleticism translates well into his ability to handle the South pitching staff. He calls an advanced and mature game and he has an easy setup and extremely quick feet. Arroyo displays soft hands and transfers well into the throwing motion with a quick trigger and a strong, accurate arm.

The South team’s second baseman, Jean Santos (2022, Kissimmee, Fla.), is a scrappy, tough and gritty ballplayer with legitimate talent and cat-like quickness. There is not a play on the right side of the infield that he doesn’t give all-out effort to make. He is especially sound moving to his glove side, and if he can get leather on the ball, he’ll make the play. He is unafraid to lay out for any ball hit his way. He has a playable and accurate arm. He is also adept at turning the double play. Offensively, he brings the same tough disposition to the dish. He is aggressive and hunts fastball, especially early in the count, and uses an inside-out swing path to drive the ball up the middle and to the opposite field. He shows playable speed and an aggressive baserunning style.

Deep South captures Series

FORT MYERS, Fla. – A gloomy Friday afternoon in Fort Myers unified more than merely individuals contesting collectively, but two talented Freshmen teams that displayed a great deal of sportsmanship. Deep South slid past Puerto Rico in the title game of the Freshman PG Series Classic, 5-1. Considering their rough start in pool play, going 0-3, Deep South came out relentless in the playoffs defeating opponents in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds and closed the feat with a championship victory against Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico was up first on the board in the bottom of the first scoring their single run in the game that came from Jose Torres Rivera (2022, Puerto Rico).  Deep South doubled that shortly after in the top of the second with runs scored by Yoel Tejeda Jr (2022, Davie, Fla.) and Xavier Vergne (2022, Miramar, Fla.). Tejeda Jr and Vergne each went 2-for-3 in the game...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...

West Region High School Sleepers

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Talking and debating sleeper prospects might be my favorite part of scouting. It’s where context, projection, and conviction matter most—whether it’s an underrated performer who keeps producing on the circuit, a raw but explosive athlete you can dream on, or an arm with starter traits that hasn’t quite made the stuff jump yet. These are the players who tend to separate evaluators, reward patience, and make the spring HS season really fascinating. Below are several West Region prospects outside the T100 who fit that mold and deserve serious attention as the spring unfolds. Jet Berry, Queen Creek HS, Arizona There’s a lot to like with Berry. He’s one of the more explosive, twitchy athletes in the country, and it shows consistently in all facets of his game. From a tools perspective his easy plus run and bat-to-ball ability stand out. He’s been a...
