PG Spring Frost Notebook

Photo: Termarr Johnson (Perfect Game)



Termarr Johnson (2022, Atlanta, Ga.) was a member of the 2018 14u PG Select Festival and with good reason. The lefthanded hitting infielder was all over the field for MGBA this weekend showing off ultra-advanced defensive actions and multiple tools. The lefthanded hitter swings with a well-timed leg kick to begin his stroke and is able to get his hands to the baseball with fluidity.




Blake Grimmer (2023, Spring Lake, Mich.) was one of multiple Motor City Hit Dogs with a high-level skillset over the weekend. Grimmer has a lefthanded swing that projects as well as his 6-foot-1, 155-pound frame. The primary shortstop manned the position well with good range and all kinds of athleticism. Grimmer did nothing but hit the baseball hard to his pull side or take his walks over the weekend. The lefthanded swing is balanced and under control with easy juice already.




Colt Emerson (2023, Cambridge, Ohio) manned third base for a really talented Motor City Hit Dogs team during the weekend’s event. The 5-foot-8 lefthanded hitter has a smooth swing path with plenty of feel for putting the barrel of the bat on the baseball. His swing produces contact to all parts of the field staying direct with his hands and on a line drive plane. Emerson is young for his class and is a high level player already at his young age.

Sebastian Jaimes (2023, Lincoln Park, Mich.) is a physical catcher with a strong swing at the plate. Jaimes was one of the top backstops playing in the event with solid catch and throw ability and a strong arm. His strength at the plate comes from his frame as well as his lower half generating some bat speed and muscling the ball off of the barrel when on time.

Parker Brzustewicz (2023, Rochester Hills, Mich.) projects very well on the mound both in mecahanics and in stature. Standing at 5-foot-11, 130-pounds, Brzustewicz is a skinny and young framed righthander with a fastball that reaches 74 mph and the ability to locate a breaking ball in the strike zone. His mechanics are very clean with a working arm and a low effort delivery.

Devin Lee (2023, Hoover, Ala.) is one of the tallest players in attendance at the 14U PG Spring Frost and his frame is involved in his swing produced bat speed combined with strength to jump the baseball to either gap. Lee swings with intent whipping the barrel through the hitting zone and showcasing a barrel feel as well.

Destin Coursey (2023, Cumming, Ga.) is a quick-twitch middle infielder for Team Elite who swings that bat quickly and has an inept ability to put the barrel to the baseball. On multiple occasions over the weekend Coursey pulled the baseball with a high exit velocity for a line drive. The righthanded hitting middle infielder has a high motor on the field and is able to play at a high level consistently.

Jack Jones (2023, Grosse Pointe, Mich.) swung the bat really well over the weekend and pitched a pair of strong performances as well. On the mound, Jones combined to throw 4 2/3 innings in two games topping out at 79 mph with his fastball and featuring a curveball that shows plenty of potential. He takes a longer swing path with a two-handed finish, but repeatedly put the barrel to the baseball for hard contact over the weekend.

Jay Tuttle (2023, Owosso, Mich.) has a loose righthanded swing and solid barrel feel at the plate for Little Ceasers. Tuttle had a big day at the plate especially on Sunday going 8-for-13 (.615) for the tournament and collecting three hits in the semifinals. The righthanded swing is loose and balanced with some hand quickness present moving to the ball. There is a lot to like from Tuttle who is versatile and appeared at multiple positions for his team including behind the plate and in the outfield.

Ryan Knaebel (2023, Saint Clair Shores, Mich.) is one of the quickest players in the tournament with the ability to steal plenty of bags with good instincts and a bat to get him on base at a high level as well. Knaebel’s swing is mostly fluid with some barrel whip for his size. He put the baseball in play at a high rate during the PG Spring Frost and used his speed to produce disruption on the basepaths.

Cade Carr (2023, Hoover, Ala.) flashed the glove at shortstop especially on Sunday ranging to either direction making sharp plays defensively. Carr is a quick-twitch 5-foot-7 athlete with room to fill and time to continue to do so. He also mans the top of the Hoover Ridiculous lineup swinging a quick bat at the plate.

Dylan Lonergan (2023, Duluth, Ga.) had the best velocity on the mound of any player at East Cobb this weekend, but the command is still developing. Lonergan topped out at 88 mph with his fastball and sat mostly in the 85-86 mph range in his stint. Lonergan showed the ability to spin a tight breaking ball as well coming from a clean arm action and a strong 6-foot-1 frame.

Jake Lankie (2023, McDonough, Ga.) is a skinny and projectable two-way talent who features both a smooth lefthanded stroke and a fastball that tops out at 84 mph from his right arm. Lankie has an uptempo delivery with clean mechanics on the bump and the ability to hit the ball to all fields at the plate. Lankie pitched very well in his relief role on Sunday while going 4-8 (.500) with a double on the weekend.

Justice Haynes (2023, Alpharetta/Buford, Ga.) is a teammate of both Lonergan and Lankie who is physically advanced well beyond his years. Haynes has strength throughout his frame already and has the swing to be able to hit at a high level and for future power. On Sunday he made one of the best catches of the PG Spring Frost by moving to his left quickly in center field before fully extending for a diving grab in the outfield. Haynes has quickness as well that he showed on that play as well as on the basepaths.

Kyle Crow (2023, Linden, Mich.) pitched in the semifinals for the Motor City Hit Dogs and topped out at 83 mph with his fastball while sitting pretty consistently in the low-80s. Crow already stands at 6-foot-3, 170-pounds and is only going to continue to grow and fill out physically. Crow has a loose arm action on the mound and an online delivery. He releases the baseball from a three-quarters arm slot producing plenty of armside life to his heater. He flashed three pitches and has all the makings of an elite pitcher moving forward.

Drew Burress (2023, Perry, Ga.) has been noted previously while also being list on the initial 2023 High Follow List and the weekend’s Spring Frost event was no different as he swung the bat very well making loud and hard contact. Burress generates advanced bat speed for his size and age and, when on time, the ball jumps off of his bat. His instincts on the field and approach at the plate are all advanced as well for the outfielder from South Georgia.

Gavin Ehrhardt (2023, Norwalk, Ohio) was the starter for the Motor City Hit Dogs in the championship game while topping out at 83 mph a couple of weeks ago. His velocity did not quite reach that peak in this outing but it did touch 80 mph early. Ehrhardt’s arm action is compact as he hides the ball through the back well. He throws with intent while getting outstanding usage of his lower half driving down the mound.

AJ Ewing (2023, Dayton, Ohio) has a powerful swing at the plate and the raw bat speed from his lefthanded stroke projects well moving forward. Ewing is a lean 5-foot-7 and projects well physically with room to fill while only going to mature with additional strength over time. He manned second base and the three hole for 5 Star Midwest and did so while looking every bit of the part of a future big-time middle infielder.

Cameron Tilly (2023, Newburgh, Ind.) came into the game out of the bullpen for the Motor City Hit Dogs in the championship game of the tournament working in a three pitch mix with a fastball in the 82-84 mph range. His arm action is compact as well as his release but he fills up the strike zone working from his low effort and online delivery.

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 70

Ron Wolforth

That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now   The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing.  They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...
