High School Notebooks: March 1 | March 5 | March 15 | March 22 | April 5 | April 16 | April 19 | April 29




Dylan Eskew, RHP, Sickles HS (Fla.)
Eskew has been a righthanded pitching prospect with some helium attached to his name this spring as there's real potential that he could be an early-to-mid day two prospect at this point of the draft cycle. The Miami signee has impressed the staff in the past and he was matched up against a tough squad in Jefferson, and another draft prospect in righthander Michael Dominguez, and was able to show how good his stuff can be. 

The physical projection and present athleticism are noteworthy for Eskew, as the 6-foot-3 and 185-pound righthander has a lot of strength to put onto the frame. That athleticism shows up in the delivery, with fluid movements and good pacing, but also on other sides of the ball as Eskew bats third and plays shortstop when he's not on the mound. The arm stroke is longer through the back with good whip and present arm speed, all positive indicators for Eskew as even though the velocity has spiked a bit this spring there is a lot more in there. 

Eskew worked up to 94 mph during this outing, touching the marker once along with a handful or 93 mph bullets, but mostly operated in the 89-92 mph range. He throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot which can create a lot of running action on his fastball upon release. The arm path at the point of release is inconsistent at times, as the length of the arm stroke can cause some timing issues and might impact strikes moving forward, but the athleticism allows him to time up for the most part and he didn't have any issues throwing strikes. 

He operated mostly with two breaking balls, a more traditional curveball with good depth and bite to it as well as a slider. These breaking balls mixed together at times, which is not uncommon for a high school arm to have that happen, but both showed potential, particularly the curveball which showed out as solid-average more than a handful of times. The curveball worked 78-81 mph mostly with good shape, break, and power as well as solid spin to project upon. Eskew's slider was a bit more unrefined, and more horizontal in terms of break, but still showed potential. 

Eskew didn't show a changeup during this look but has a good present three pitch mix. His velocity wavered a bit as the outing went on, but most importantly, he showed good present stuff along with the projection to hold that stuff better as he adds strength and gets into a professional program. There's certainly top five rounds potential for Eskew and he could sneak up on some people around draft time; he allowed no runs over five strong to go with seven strikeouts. 




Michael Dominguez, RHP, Jefferson HS (Fla.)
Dominguez opposed Eskew on the mound and, as has been the case for Jefferson for years now, turned forth a very strong effort, competing well on the mound and coming right after hitters. The Florida State signee worked five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in total and was really in command from the first pitch of the game. 

His delivery is simple and balanced, with little wasted movement and drop and drive lower half/backside actions through the point of extension. Dominguez' arm speed is real, though the arm action is lengthier through the back and there's effort at the point of release. This can lead to some command inconsistencies but he has a strong three pitch mix that will bode well for him at the next level. 

The fastball worked up to 93 mph in the first, with reports of him sniffing the mid-90s earlier this spring, and sat mostly 88-92 mph for the duration of the start. There's good amount of life to the fastball with some arm side run and riding action when up in the zone. Dominguez did a good job at establishing the fastball the first time through the order and would pitch off it effectively with his secondary pitches. 

The breaking ball came in at 74-77 mph with some varying shape to it, sometimes a tweener or a pitch between a curveball and a slider, and is mostly a fringy pitch currently. The changeup had some late fading action and he really used the pitch well, showing above average potential and the ability to both land it for strikes and bury it in the dirt to hitters of both handedness. 

Dominguez has pretty good stuff and really competes well on the mound, showing three pitches that could develop into average or better offerings later down the line. Presently his size will scare away some teams as he's below six-feet tall, but the stuff combined with the approach and arm speed make Dominguez an intriguing target to consider when the draft rolls around next month.

Alex Schrier, RHP, Santa Margarita HS (Calif.)
An athletic player on the mound, Schrier looks like a middle infielder at 6-foot and 175-pounds. He showed athleticism bouncing off the mound making a play and cutting a run off at the plate. With a compact, athletic delivery, Schrier repeats fairly well and will alter his delivery at times for deception. A low three-quarters arm slot helps generate very good arm-side run and sink on the fastball that worked primarily at 87-90 mph. His main secondary is a slider at 72-74 mph and he got loose with it at times, a pitch that could be firmed up in college as a UCSB commit to make it a shorter and a more traditional slider. Schrier mixed in occasional change at 76-80 mph with arm-side run and sink. He showed good pitchabilty on the mound battling out of a few jams making the pitches he needed at crucial times. 




Spencer Edwards, LHP, Santa Margarita HS (Calif.)
There is some rawness to the Cornell commit, but Edwards' 6-foot-3 frame and his lefthandedness are intriguing. Fastball worked 85-87, touching 88 mph while mixing in a curveball at 76 and changeup at 80 that showed promise. He got swings and misses on all of his pitches and came right at hitters with all three offerings. Edwards seemed to get less extended on his breaking ball as he could get more depth on the pitch with plus extension, getting out over front side a little more and getting in to lower half. Edwards will be an interesting player to follow in to the Ivy League. 

Milan Tolentino, SS, Santa Margarita HS (Calif.)
Tolentino blends a polished set of tools with a high-level feel for the game on both sides of the ball. In this look his defensive skill-set showed out more than the offensive one as he didn’t get much to swing at in the box. He made several plays at shortstop showing range both ways and coming in on the ball. Tolentino showed good anticipation reading ground balls and adjusting his body to make plays at optimal angles. With easy arm strength he can make throws from multiple angles. He showed off a solid approach at the plate with a selective eye, looking for pitches to drive, though he didn’t get a lot of them to hit. Tolentino had one hit, a line drive to the pull side in two at-bats while also working a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Tolentino is committed to UCLA.

Ignacio Alvarez, Inf, Kaiser High SS (Calif.)
One of the intriguing underclassmen at Kaiser, Alvarez is listed at 5-foot-9 and 160-pounds but seems a bit bigger than that. He showed good actions at second as well as soft hands and some defensive instincts. He feels like the prototype for Kaiser, a blue color type, who showed a pretty good line drive approach at the plate. Alvarez drove one to the opposite field for a knock and will be an interesting follow the next few years. 

Trey Tribble, Util, Kaiser HS (Calif.)
Another of Kaiser's underclassmen (a primarily underclassmen driven team that went 21-6) that should help lead the Cats the next few years. Listed as utility, Tribble played center field in this look. Somewhat raw and toolsy, he’s also the QB on HS football team. It's a speed-based profile at the top of the lineup for Tribble, and while his swing got a little long at times he just needs more reps and showed some pretty good instincts in center field.

Zachary Maxwell, RHP, North Paulding High School (Ga.)
The second round of the Georgia High School baseball playoffs started on Thursday as Walton High School took on North Paulding and MLB Draft prospect Zachary Maxwell was on the hill for the Wolfpack of North Paulding. The righthander is an extra-large framed righthander with plenty of strength present especially in his lower half. His lower half is strong in his delivery as he does an excellent job of sitting on his back leg and driving down the mound to create excellent velocity specifically in his first inning of work in this contest.

Toeing the rubber and firing his first pitch of the game, the fastball was clocked at 95 mph and was the middle of the range that he featured in his quick first inning that included a strikeout. Again pertaining to the that first inning, the Georgia Tech signee touched 97 mph once and sat primarily in the 93-96 mph. He flashed a sweeping curveball once as well in that electric first inning that was 82 mph and displayed lots of depth. After his first inning, the 95s were lessened and his velocity sat more in the 90-94 mph while still impressive and really overpowering in this outing. He worked off the heater and offered it up to hitters to essentially see if they could catch up to it. Occasionally he would go back to the curveball that was 81-83 mph and was on the fringe of above average in some instances but showed solid average mostly in this look.

The delivery is full of tempo and drive as his arm whips through the throwing circle as rides down the mound. There is deception present as he lands slightly closed and can create a tough angle on hitters. His mechanics can be inconsistent at times, but when under control and online to the plate the ball jumps out of his hand and misses bats. Speaking of missing bats, Maxwell did that exceptionally well allowing just one hit and two hard-hit balls in five-plus innings. He did have a tendency to be sporadic with his command, walking seven, but he did strike out nine and tallied at least 13 swings and misses on his fastball.

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC West Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

WWBA East Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air. Excellent athlete that will stick at a premium spot. #LaTech commit.#WWBAEast pic.twitter.com/xeintVTMil — PG Deep South (@PG_DeepSouth) June 12, 2026 Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) The Louisiana Tech commit just does not stop hitting.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament.
