WWBA 15U Super25 Georgia Qualifier: Day 1-2 Notes

Payton Boines (2022, Atlanta, Ga.) made a splash on the scene this weekend, playing for Team Rawlings, with a big bat and solid defense. He flashed a medium frame with an athletic build and room to fill down the road. The righthanded hitter utilized a relaxed, somewhat spread out stance, while relying on quick hands to get the barrel on the baseball. He stayed short and simple while creating some leverage. When he gets extended, his strength really shows, and he has the pop to turn into a power-type bat. His strong lower half is the key to his success as he uses that mature strength to his advantage. He took an inside fastball deep off the wall in left-center late in the tournaments action. Not only did he show a good bat, but he played solid defense as well. The third baseman showed good footwork while working around the baseball well. Even though he flashed a young arm, his accuracy was there. Boines should be an interesting follow going forward as he has all of the raw tools in place. Keep up with him as his skills sharpen up with time.





William Mosley (2022, Acworth, Ga.) proved why he is the top-ranked third baseman in his class this weekend. He showed a medium frame with a stocky, strong frame with some mature attributes already present. The righthanded pitcher entered the game from third base after making a couple nice plays including one toward the hole where he made a strong throw across the diamond to get the runner just in time. As he came in for relief for the East Cobb Astros, he filled up the zone working with an over-the-top delivery while working downhill. He created some whip with his arm adding to his already present velo and he did so with ease. His athleticism helped keep him balanced on the mound while he worked both sides of the plate. His fastball showed some arm side run and sat 83-86 mph while he touched 87. His curveball sat in the upper-70s showing slurvy actions and tight spin when down in the zone. He struck out the side in his only inning pitched. He also tallied two RBI to his name at the plate while showing he could swing it as well. Mosley should be an interesting watch as he is a true utility guy who can get it done in all aspects of the game.



Luke Fernandez (2022, Cumming, Ga.) is another member of Team Rawlings who showed that he has what it takes to be a top prospect in this week’s action. He showcased a larger frame with broad shoulders and lean build with plenty of room to fill out in the future. The righthanded pitcher proved to be a problem for opposing teams’ offense as he mixed pitches well while working both sides of the plate. He utilized a high three-quarters arm slot while hiding the baseball well from hitters making it hard to pick up early of his hand. With his fluid motion, he stayed on plane while working down the mound and using his frame to create leverage. His fastball showed late life with some serious arm side run sitting 83-85 mph and touched 87 with a nice 11-5 curveball in the mid-60s keeping hitters off balance. He struck out six batters while going 6 1/3 innings. With his projectable body, he will be a very interesting follow in upcoming years.

Will Merrix (2022, Tallahassee, Fla.) made the trip up from Florida to compete in this week’s action and he made the most of his time here in Georgia. The Florida native showed a larger frame with an athletic, strong build and room to fill down the road. The lean righthanded hitter lead off for the East Cobb Colt .45’s and did a great job. He worked counts while not being afraid to get behind and maintained a visible confidence at all times. With a somewhat spread-out stance, he used a small toe tap before creating separation while moving his weight well. From high hands, he utilized a linear swing path looking to drive the baseball gap to gap. His quick hands showed to be an asset at the plate as he created great bat speed while making contact out front driving through the baseball. He ripped a double to the left-center gap that left the bat at 93 mph via Trackman. He also drove one to the opposite field for a single that left the bat at 88 mph via Trackman. He is hitting over .400 through four games this tournament. Merrix also got it done in the field showing his athleticism in the outfield. The rightfielder showed great instincts while showing off a mature arm for his age. With his skillset and already maturing build, he should be someone to keep on your radar as we move forward.

John Cooper Williams (2023, Woodstock, Ga.) is also a member of the East Cobb Colt .45’s squad who showcased his skills in this weekend’s action. He flashed a medium frame with a lean, athletic build and mature skillset. The shortstop proved to be one of the top defenders from this week as he made every play with ease. He showcased great instincts with mature footwork while working through the baseball well. Not only was his glove spot on, but his arm strength proved to be an eye opener. His throws were very accurate from all arm angles as he left each throw on a line across the diamond. Not only did he flash the leather, but he also proved to be a threat at the plate. The smooth-swinging lefthanded hitter started from a spread out/balanced stance with somewhat lower hands before working into separation and raising the hands. He showed a slightly uphill swing path while looking to drive the ball on a line to all parts of the ball park. Williams ripped a double in the right-center gap while driving in a run. He is hitting over .400 in this week’s action. Keep a look out for this young prospect as he continues to prove why he is a top prospect in his class for the entire nation.



Dylan Lonergan (2023, Acworth, Ga.) continues to prove why he is a top arm from the 2023 class. He flashed a very large frame with a strong lower half and broad shoulders. His mature body is utilized to its fullest. The big righthanded pitcher entered for the 14U Georgia Jackets in relief to help shut the door in the first round of the playoffs. With him facing prospects a year older than him, he dominated opposing batters with ease. He showed a higher leg kick before working down the mound toward the plate. He stayed on plane and utilized his frame to generate velocity. With his fluid arm action, he projects to be a dominate asset for any organization moving forward. He showed a fastball sitting 86-88 mph and touched 89 while pounding the strike zone. His off-speed arsenal consisted of a slider in the upper-70s with good depth and a changeup he is still working on developing in the upper-70s as well. Keep a good look out at this dominant two sport athlete to continue to progress and grow into one of the top arms in the country for his class.

JC French (2022, Roswell, Ga.) is another prospect from the Georgia Jackets program who plays for the 15U squad. He showed a larger frame with a lean, athletic build showing plenty of room to fill out in his future. The righthanded hitter started with an open base before working back into a balanced stance at contact. He does a good job of creating leverage to the pull side when he gets the barrel out front showing he can be a power scare. With his linear swing path, he shows to drive the baseball gap to gap. He drove a double into the left-center gap during the semifinals while trying to push his ball club into the Championship game. Not only did he get it done at the plate, but he also entered the game from the bullpen. The righhanded pitcher showed a great mound presence. French showed an online delivery while working with a long arm action delivering from a high three-quarters arm slot. He utilized three different pitches that he threw for strikes. His fastball sat 79-83 mph with some heavy actions. His off-speed stuff consisted of a curveball with slurvy actions sitting in the upper-60s and great changeup with late action in the lower-70s. Keep an eye out for this utility guy as he does it all and he does it well.



Andruw Jones (2022, Suwanee, Ga.) continues his tear as one of the top-ranked prospects from his class with his play in this weekend’s event. He showed a larger frame with a wiry, lean build and plenty of room to fill out in his bright future. The righthanded hitter started with a very narrow, upright stance before striding out creating some serious separation. He flashed some great bat speed while staying behind the baseball and squaring it up. He used all parts of the field as he sprayed the baseball with ease. He took a high fastball in today’s action and drove it over the right-center wall. The ball never had an apex over 15 feet, and it got out in a hurry for a solo shot to give his 643 Cougars an early lead in the semifinals. With the squad’s primary shortstop on the mound, he moved from center field to shortstop and did a great job. He made all the plays he needed to and flashed great range. His instincts are incomparable to most prospects his age and his demeanor proves to be even better. Keep an eye out on this young man as he will continue to grow into one of the top prospects in his class.



Jake Lankie (2023, McDonough, Ga.) is another great arm from the 2023 class who proved to be improving in this week’s tournament play. He showed a larger frame with a lean, athletic build and shows plenty of room to fill out down the road. The wiry righthanded pitcher started the semifinal game for the 14U Georgia Jackets and did all he could to put them in a position to move onto the championship game. He utilized a higher leg kick while generating power before driving downhill. He showed mature mechanics with repeatable motions in which he will hone in on, as he continues to progress. With his smooth delivery, the projectable righty filled up with zone with a great three pitch mix. His fastball was sitting 81-83 mph while he touched 84 showing arm-side run and some heaviness to it. His off-speed stuff proved to be the difference as he showed a very late breaking changeup in the low-70s that showed to be a big problem for opposing batters. His curveball was on as well showing good depth in the low-70s with slurvy actions. He should be a very interesting follow as he projects to be a dominate righthanded pitcher with a great three-pitch mix in his arsenal.

-Drew Wesolowski

Francesco Capocci (2023, Cummings, Ga.) has the frame of a very projectable corner infielder. Measuring at 6-foot-3, 172 pounds, he flashed good tools at the plate as well as in the field. At the plate he starts with an open stance, slight crouch and high hands. His toe-tap stride and hand load create good separation while staying quiet in his pre pitch timing. He showed a direct bat path to the ball with a high finish which should help create more lift and carry on his ball as he continues to mature as a hitter. Defensively, his length is an asset at third base allowing him to get to balls down the line or in the hole. While fielding, his glove works well out front and his strong arm and good feet enable him to work through the ball and make a strong accurate throw across the diamond. Capocci is definitely a player to keep an eye on as he continues to grow into his long athletic frame.



Reginald Austin (2022, Atlanta, Ga.), a primary middle infielder, showed big-time potential on the mound in his semifinal start of the Perfect Game 15U BCS Qualifier. His live arm produced a fastball that sat 84-85 mph and topped out at 88 mph with some good arm-side run on it. His secondary pitch, a curveball, showed good, sharp bite with a 11-5 shape to it. Mechanically he does a good job of staying online while working down the mound to create good plane down in the zone from his high three-quarter arm slot. His ability to maintain velocity and good command for his breaking ball allowed him to strike out seven through 3 1/3 innings. His 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame paired with his great athleticism project well moving forward as he continues to fill out and mature.

David Luigs (2022, Marietta, Ga.) a big-framed first baseman showed great barrel ability in both days of bracket play at the Perfect Game 15U BCS Qualifier. Hitting in the middle of the order, his 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame is a daunting presence for opponents. At the plate he starts with a balanced stance and high hands. His quiet pre-pitch allows him to track balls well and not chase outside of the zone. His simple smooth bat path showed good pull side power when he gets his strong lower half engaged through the swing. He projects well to continue to be a dangerous bat especially, as he matures and continues getting his strong lower half involved.

Blair Barnes (2022, Lawrenceville, Ga.) showed good hitability while working himself into good hitters counts. Barnes finished the day 2-for-2 with two hits back up the middle. His swing starts with a balanced up right stance and low hands. His toe-tap stride and hand load create good separation while he gets his weight transferred to his back side. He does a good job of engaging his lower half through the swing as he stays through the ball with his compact bat path. His lean athletic frame leaves him with room to continue to fill out as he grows and matures.

Cody McGill (2022, Marietta, Ga.) is an interesting prospect with his physical frame and switch-hitting ability. In his first two at-bats from the right side of the plate he displayed an upright balanced stance with a compact swing path and the ability to drive the ball from gap-to-gap in the outfield including a double to left-center that came off the bat at 97 mph. In his third at-bat from the left side of the plate he showed a similar set up with a toe-tap trigger and a swing path that displayed some loft with a high finish. With his ability to produce loud contact form both sides of the plate he showed plenty of potential to be a middle-of-the-order bat from either side. His 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame projects well moving forward as he continues to mature and fill out.

Amir Streeter (2022, Lithonia, Ga.) is a quick-twitch middle infielder with some pull-side power at the plate. In the field his athleticism and first-step quickness allow him to work around the baseball while his strong arm and good footwork allow him to be quick and accurate across the diamond. At the plate he starts with a slightly open up right stance with high hands. His toe-tap trigger allows him to get his timing down while getting his weight transferred to his back side. His ability to use his lower half through the swing allows him to stay through the ball creating good extension in his back swing. On the bases his good speed and heads-up base running allow him to take the extra base as an opportunistic base runner. With a 5-foot-10, 149-pound frame he has plenty of projectability left with room to continue to grow and fill out.

Max Eichenberger (2022, Canton, Ga.), a good defensive catcher, showed promise at the plate as well in the championship game of the Perfect Game 15U BCS Qualifier. His broad shoulders and soft hands allow him to present the ball well as he works through the baseball receiving. His quick feet and strong arm allow him to shut down the running game of his opponents. At the plate his good plate discipline allows him to get into hitter-friendly count where he looks to do damage. His swing starts with an open stance and wide base with low hands. His compact swing path stays level through the hitting zone allowing him to stay gap-to-gap with a line drive approach. He projects to add more power throughout his game as he continues to fill out his 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame.

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

Ron Wolforth

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas  As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

Best of the Best Event Preview

In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week:  Carson Tinney, C, Texas  The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week.  To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney.  The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year.  In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told.  With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...
