Most Valuable Player: MatthewBarefoot, of, Hyannis (Campbell)
Outstanding Pitcher: Adam Laskey, lhp, Wareham (Duke)
Top Pro Prospect (as selected by league): J.J. Bleday, of, Orleans (Vanderbilt)

As we see every summer, the 2018 season on the Cape saw swarms of scouts flocking to Massachusetts as they began their lists for the 2019 June draft. Whether players are from a Power 5 program or a mid-major, they were able to leave their mark as they established themselves among the best. That includes players like J.J. Bleday of Vanderbilt, who took home the league’s Top Pro Prospect award, or Matthew Barefoot of Campbell, who was honored as the league’s MVP after hitting an impressive .379 over 140 regular season at-bats.

Due to the scheduling of the USA Collegiate National Team this summer several players were able to make longer reservations on the Cape this summer, leaving their mark on the league as each of the top four prospects suited up for the Red, White and Blue. The Pac-12 slug-fest last spring between Cal’s Andrew Vaughn and Arizona State’s Spencer Torkelson continued on the Cape as Torkelson blasted 10 home runs while Vaughn countered with five, though his overall hit tool and comfort in the box earned him the top spot on this list.

While the list is position player heavy at the top, West Virginia righthander Alek Manoah made arguably as much noise as anybody this summer, proving to be not only a physical presence at 6-foot-7, 270-pounds, but also one with a big arsenal highlighted by a fastball that topped out at 97 mph. Pitchers are showcased up and down the list, some with big stuff others with advanced pitchability and feel. Adam Laskey of Duke was tabbed the league’s Most Outstanding Pitcher after a big summer on the mound.

At the end of the summer it the Wareham Gatemen who hoisted the Arnold Mycock Trophy, sweeping the championship over the Chatham Anglers. Just as he had all summer, Florida International’s Austin Shenton continued to a hot bat, going 2-for-4 with three RBI in the clincher, allowing head coach Don Sneddon and the Gatemen to bring a championship back to Wareham for the first time since 2012. Shenton was named the PG/Rawlings Summer Collegiate Player of the Year as a result.

Top 30 Prospect Reports

1. Andrew Vaughn, 1b, Wareham (California/JR in 2019)
While he may not have the typical build often associated with first base at 5-foot-11, Vaughn arrived on campus as a primary infielder and could potentially move to a corner outfield position at the next level. Wherever Vaughn eventually calls home defensively there will be no mistaking his abilities with the stick as he has as much of a track record as any in college baseball. Vaughn has done nothing but shine during his first two years at Cal hitting .349-12-50 as a true freshman before taking home the Golden Spikes award last spring after hitting .402-23-63. His swing is geared to an all-fields approach with plenty of barrel skill and lots of strength, showing easy plus raw power while showing an advanced approach at the dish. Simply put, Vaughn is one of the best pure hitters with some of the best strength the 2019 draft class has to offer and he topped it off with an exceptional stint on the Cape in which he hit .306-5-14 prior to his time with USA.

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
Article Image
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...

13u WWBA Scout Note Recap

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
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. Showed feel for a curveball with 12-6 shape and some looser vertical depth that was able to get weak contact. Competes in the zone well and showed some feel to work on the arm-side half of the plate. Intriguing upside on the young arm.   Brett Hamlin (2031, Jupiter, Fla.) showed off the barrel feel for FTB American 13u. The left-handed hitter collected nine hits, including two doubles and a triple, to drive in seven RBI. Strong hands and flips the hips well to create good bat speed. Simple operation that gets on time consistently and impacts the ball well. Worked the pull-side well and...

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

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...

Emily Hicks

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings. The defense backed the effort with great plays in the middle infield, preventing GBG Vegas from building momentum....
