PG Texas Invitational Quick Hits

PG TX Invitationals: 12u | 13u | 14u


Bret Deegan (2023, Spring, Texas) started off the tournament hot by working 80-82 mph with his fastball in the early portion. Deegan has a very projectable frame with a good delivery and a whippy arm stroke. He could mix in a power breaking ball as well and held his velocity well for the majority of his 30-pitch outing.

CE Gaitz (2023, Cypress, Texas) is a good-looking prospect as a lefthanded hitting shortstop who stands at 6-foot, 160-pounds. He’s broad with lots of room to fill and has a direct, simple stroke from the left side. He’s performed well thus far and showed the ability to generate backspin to both gaps with projectable power.

Jordan Miller (2023, Magnolia, Texas) isn’t the biggest prospect on the field, but what he lacks in size he makes up with barrel awareness and instincts. Miller is fairly athletic and has soft hands in the middle infield but stands out offensively with a loose, simple stroke and has a very advanced feel for manipulating the barrel to work on a line to all fields.

Barak Wilkins (2023, The Woodlands, Texas) showed impressive tools on both sides of the ball, impressing with his quiet receiving and arm strength from behind the plate and his mechanically sound swing offensively. He has advanced strength at the point of impact with present hip rotation and looks to fit the profile of a power-hitting catcher.

James Ellwanger (2023, Magnolia, Texas) has present arm talent to go along with a very long and physically projectable 6-foot-1, 147-pound frame. Ellwanger has a very short arm stroke with some quickness to it and ran his fastball up to 79 mph on Friday night while tossing two and one-thirds innings of shutout baseball.

Brandon Seidmeyer (2023, Magnolia, Texas) is a well-built catcher with good tools both defensively and with the stick. He has soft hands behind the dish and popped times around the 2.2 second mark in between innings while he has some loft to the swing plane offensively and creates good carry to both gaps and batted .500 on the weekend.

Jaxon Burch (2023, Watson, La.) didn’t have the greatest stat line on the mound but there’s a lot to like from a scouting perspective. Burch topped out at 79 mph on the weekend with an athletic delivery and a loose arm stroke. He can spin a curveball too with good depth in the mid-60s and recorded a home to first time of 4.50 seconds.

Reese Mooney (2023, Denham Springs, La.) has advanced size at a listed 5-foot-11, 160-pounds and looks the part over at short with legit hitting tools. He moves well to both sides with a strong arm across the diamond while the swing plane is clean with requisite bat speed and his power will come in waves as he fills out his projectable frame.

Easton Tumis (2023, Friendswood, Texas) turned in a strong performance on Friday night going five innings while striking out eight batters. Tumis has an advanced delivery with simple motion to the plate and a loose, easy arm stroke. The 6-foot, 130-pound righthander is slender with lots of room to fill and whipped the arm to produce a fastball that topped out at 80 mph.

Hayden Morris (2023, Conroe, Texas) impressed during his one inning on the mound during their first game on Saturday as he struck out the side in a short, scoreless frame. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound prospect has very good size with present physicality and has a simple delivery with a quick, online arm stroke. He ran his fastball up to 80 mph and showed some feel for a power curveball at 70 mph.

Alexander Petrovic (2023, Cypress, Texas) showed very intriguing two-way potential over the weekend, showing a feel for the barrel and running his fastball up to 81 mph. Petrovic is an extremely lanky and projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pounds and has clear strength with a very direct stroke and a feel for manipulating the barrel to drive the ball to all fields.

Jakob Schulz (2023, Houston, Texas) worked his fastball up to 83 mph and though he struggled with command, he has a 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame that’s ripe for projection. He walked hitters but showed feel for working to both sides with a clean arm stroke, significant angle on the fastball, and a short, power breaking ball in the mid-70s that avoided barrels.

Sam Myers (2023, Cypress, Texas) put on a show this weekend, as though Twelve Silver was eliminated in the first playoff round, Myers batted 1.000 in his three games. Myers is a very good athlete, 4.51 turn time from the left side, and has a quick, compact stroke. He drives the ball well and included some pull side juice with a triple to the right centerfield alley during round one.

Jon Cassidy Vanek (2023, Lake Charles, La.) has a strong three pitch mix on the mound and showed out well during his start on the mound. The delivery is athletic and loose with good arm speed and he topped out at 79 mph. He had good feel for his curveball with projectable shape and even turned over a filthy changeup to get a whiff from a righthanded hitter.

Cale Comeaux (2023, Breaux Bridge, La.) is a very impressive two-way player, with excellent size, bat speed, and present velocity. The 6-foot-2, 168-pound prospect has a free and easy delivery with a clean arm stroke and worked 79-81 mph during his one inning. He has a clean swing with present bat speed too and it’s hard to miss him on a baseball field.

Gabriel Flores (2022, Longview, Texas) showed some of the louder hitting tools of the event with impressive raw bat speed and lots of strength. Flores stands with a physical present build at 6-foot, 160-pounds and he drives through contact with his lower half well to drive the ball as he did on a double and triple that banged off the left field and centerfield wall respectively.

Trenton Lape (2023, Bossier City, La.) had some of the better velocity of the event with a fastball that topped out at 83 mph and lived in the low-80s. The delivery is fluid with good present arm speed and a clean stroke. Lape creates some arm side life and the breaking ball showed good spin flashing sharp break with 11/5 shape.

Noah Paddie (2023, Marshall, Texas) is a true do-it-all shortstop and plays the game hard too. He has very loose, athletic actions over at short with excellent hands and runs well too with a 4.47 turn time on an extra base hit. He has loose hands with a clean swing and did a good job at getting out front to create liners and set the table for the offense.

Brandon Levy (2023, Bossier, La.) is a physical righthanded pitcher with good present arm strength as he worked 80-82 mph during his start. Levy has a compact arm stroke and comes straight over the top, creating some cut on the ball. He fights his front side a bit but also showed a curveball that he could land for strikes.

Diego Luzardo (2023, La Porte, Texas) has a very low effort delivery from a projectable frame. The delivery is simple, out of the stretch, and has a low effort arm stroke with good arm speed by running his fastball up to 82 mph. He sinks the ball nicely and is tough to pick up from a crossfire delivery and pounded the strike zone.

Conner Bennett (2023, Spring, Texas) was outstanding over the weekend showing excellent athleticism and flexibility behind the dish. He has a very quick release with solid arm strength and was popping around 2.08 seconds in between innings. He has good present bat speed and covers the plate nicely with home run power to pull and carry to all fields. 

Tracer Lopez (2023, Rosebud, Texas) set the table all weekend for the Banditos and the combination of athleticism and bat-to-ball skills stands out. The swing is short and direct to the ball and he can hit for extra bases as he manipulates the barrel well to drive it down the line and into the gaps.

Alexander Solis (2023, Mercedes, Texas) has a pretty quick arm and touched 84 mph in two relief appearances this weekend. The arm stroke is loose and fast and Solis has a projectable frame with lots of room to add strength and increase velocity as he develops and fills out from a physicality perspective.

Cameran Christ (2023, Lake Charles, La.) is one of the early commits of the 2023 class with a verbal commitment to Mississippi State. Christ has the physical frame of a D-I prospect with a very broad, projectable 5-foot-11, 165-pound build and operates a very simple, efficient stroke. There’s present bat speed and lift to the plane with good leverage to give him power to pull.

Cade Arrambide (2024, Spring, Texas) stood out in a big way for the 13u age group with present strength and size. Arrambide has tools to work with on the defensive side of the ball with good arm strength and a quick release, he popped around a 2.10 in between innings, and has present juice and missed a long bomb into the trees by a few feet.

Dyson Fields (2023, Ruston, La.) is a nice two-way player that has plenty of righthanded bat speed and a strong arm that registered up to 83 mph on the mound. Fields swing is a bit raw, but it’s fast and he can impact the ball with strength. On the mound, the arm stroke is whippy and the overall projection is enticing as well.

Jordan Luna (2024, Washington, La.) is another young prospect that stood out at the 13u division. Luna rocketed a ball high off the left field wall and has very quick hands with a fluid stroke and good athleticism at short. The arm strength is advanced too as he was up to 81 mph on the mound in a relief stint.

Every successful team has talent, but the teams that make great summer ball runs often have something more. For Furia Prospects 2030, that difference has been a consistent commitment to playing for one another. The Texas-based team earned a 4-0 victory over East Cobb Astros 14U to secure their spot in the semifinals, combining dominant pitching with timely offense and another complete team performance. Christian Choe set the tone on the mound, allowing just two hits while striking out three over 4.2 innings before Blaine Jackson closed out the final four outs to preserve the shutout. At the plate, Brody Peterson paced the offense with a 2-for-3 performance and two RBI, while Mark De Leon and Jancarlos Nunez each drove in a run. Through these tournament games, Peterson has emerged as one of the team's most consistent hitters, batting .750 while continuing to deliver in key moments. Yet...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 100-299 | 200-299 | 300-399 | 400-500 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted   Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 An extended look at ‘27 RHP Cole Cheatham… 5 IP, 9 K, 0 BB, 3 ER. #WWBA @PG_OhioValley #WVU commit https://t.co/6tfthTsRsW pic.twitter.com/RHfFa3rWps — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 26, 2026 West Virginia commit Cole Cheatham (2027, Liberty, Ind.) came out firing bullets early in the outing and would finish up going five strong innings, allowing three runs and striking out nine. The fastball comes out of the hand easy and got up to 97 mph, working in the mid-90s throughout. He pairs it with a firm changeup at 89-90 with some fading depth to the arm side and also has good feel for a mid-80s slider with quality shape and missed bats with it deep in counts. It’s a power arm here with immense upside and pounded the zone at a 64% clip. A lot of boxes Cheatham checks off as a high school arm and should be a name we hear a...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 200-299 | 300-399 | 400-500 100. Lucas Nawrocki, LHP/1B, Aledo HS L-L, 5-11/197, Aledo, TX College Commitment: LSU Lucas Nawrocki put together a monster year on both sides of the ball, although the profile may be suited better for the mound in pro ball. Nawrocki features a stocky frame that works down the mound into a low-slot release. The fastball sits in the mid-90’s with carry to the top of the zone. It can reach spin rates near 2700 rpm. The left-hander can spin a slider exceptionally well. The pitch sits in the mid-80’s with big sweeping action and spin rates over 3000 rpm. A firm upper-80's changeup rounds out the pitch mix. At the plate, Nawrocki can provide some thump from the left side of the plate.  For more on Nawrocki, read his high school notebook here.   101.

Hudson Devaughan, RHP, Mooresville HS R-R, 6-4/195, Mooresville, IN College Commitment: Alabama Hudson Devaughan features a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. The fastball works up to 96 mph with more to come. It is thrown on a downhill plane. A sharp curveball pairs well off of it and can miss bats. A cutter and changeup round out the pitch mix, but still need to be refined.  201. Cole Stokes, RHP, Florida State R-R, 6-6/230, Redondo Beach, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Cole Stokes is an imposing 6-foot-6 arm with loud stuff too. The fastball works in the upper-90’s with sink. It is paired with a sweeper that can miss bats at a solid clip. Significant command issues will need to be addressed in order for the potential plus stuff to play more consistently.  For more on Stokes, read his college report...

The big-bodied southpaw got the ball in a short relief outing and continues to show why he’s ranked as the #1 pitcher in the class. The fastball has explosive life out of the hand and comes out easy, working in the 93-95 range, up to 96 mph once. He rounds out the mix with a firm slider in the mid-80s along with a changeup in the same velo range with arm-side fading action.

The Winning Edge

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Gulf Coast Edge has continued to build momentum in championship play this week, advancing behind a combination of timely offense, strong pitching, and contributions throughout the lineup. After grinding out a 4-3 victory over Canes American 14U to open bracket play, Gulf Coast Edge followed with a dominant 13-1 playoff win against Knights Baseball 14U National to secure their spot in the tournament bracket. The team features nationally ranked talent throughout the roster, but its recent success has been fueled by players embracing their roles and finding ways to contribute in key moments. Two players who embody that balance are outfielder Brayden Nims and fellow outfielder Nolan Richardson. Nims has helped lead the charge offensively as Gulf Coast Edge has advanced through the bracket. One of the most highly regarded players in the country, ranked No. 9 overall nationally and the No. 4...
