15U BCS: Day 4 Scout Notes

2019 15U BCS National Championship: Day 1 Notes | Day 2 Notes | Day 3 Notes




An early standout on day four came from the lefthanded swing of outfielder AJ Nessler (2022, Tampa, Fla.) as he went a perfect 3-for-3 once again, including two loud doubles to the pull side. Nessler stands out a bit physically at a listed 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, but stands out even more with the swing. The lefthanded stroke is extremely smooth as he showed great barrel-to-ball skills with the bat speed to back it up and create some pop. The mechanics and tools project to power down the road and the lower half rotates extremely well and on time. Nessler will be an intriguing prospect to watch as he continues to develop athletically and grow.



There’s a lot to like from Nessler’s teammate Wesley Mendes (2023, Tampa, Fla.) as he took the mound for the talented Top Tier Roos American team and put forth just over five strong innings of works. Immediately showing a high level of maturity for his young age, Mendes showed an ability to work out of difficult situations and mix his pitches well enough to create weak contact and ground balls when necessary. The fastball worked at 80-83 mph, showed a ton of run and life to the arm side, causing hitters to struggle to make solid contact on it. He flashed great feel for the curveball as it showed consistent good depth, staying in the zone for a very short amount of time, working as a great strikeout pitch. Mendes projects very highly from the arm talent and pitchability, and as the frame and build continue to grow, the velocity will surely follow.



Jackson Gaspard (2022, Flowery Branch, Ga.) proved once again why he is one of the best catchers in the class as he picked up a pair of hits, scoring both times he reached base. Gaspard is an extremely athletic primary catcher, but showed an ability to be moved around the diamond and hold his own at various infield positions. The hit tool is very good as he deploys a very clean, smooth stroke with a high level of bat speed that projects to some power as he fills into the current 6-foot frame.



Gaspard’s teammate hitting two spots behind him in the lineup, is big-bodied Jay Murdock (2022, Dawson, Ga.). Murdock, listed at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, is a large lefthanded hitter with a ton of present strength that projects to more if athleticism can be added into the body. He showed good bat-to-ball skills as he stayed relatively short to the ball, but extended well to drive the ball back to the middle of the field. He also showed a surprising amount of athleticism out of such a big body, and that will translate well as he develops into a more athletic corner infielder.



The cleanest and most developed swing of the day came from lefthanded-hitting shortstop Cade McGarrh (2022, Frisco, Texas). Currently ranked as the No. 20 prospect in the state of Texas, McGarrh puts forth high expectations hitting in the heart of a talented Dulins Dodgers lineup. The long 6-foot-3 frame is as projectable as it comes given the tools and athleticism that already come out of the thin build. The swing is loose and free, showing a natural flick to it with high ceiling power potential. McGarrh showed efficiency on the mound as well, working seven innings, allowing only three hits and a walk, using only 75 pitches to complete the outing. The fastball, up to 89 mph earlier this week, worked at 83-85 mph as he filled the zone with it early and often, while flashing some feel for a change-of-pace breaking ball.



University of Florida commit William Ross (2022, Winter Garden, Fla.) made quite an impression out of the bullpen, closing out the last 1 1/3 innings, striking out three in the process. The 6-foot-6 righthander is very strong throughout both the upper and lower-half, filling out every bit of his listed 235 pounds. The delivery is very clean and balanced as he gets on line with the plate and works downhill, extending well to the plate causing the ball to seemingly jump out of the hand. The fastball worked at 85-87 mph, showed a bit of arm side run as he worked it to both halves of the plate, while mixing in great feel for a good curveball at 73 mph. The command of both pitches was very good as he filled the zone repeatedly and created consistent swing and misses. There is still a ton of velocity to come from the big-bodied righthander and he will be an intriguing arm to watch as he continues to develop the arm talent that will make him a guy to watch at the next level.

-Tyler Russo


University of Louisville commit Rocko Brzezniak (2022, Matawan, N.J.) was a walk-off hero as he hit an absolute moonshot to win it for BBA National. Brezezniak has looked great all tournament and stayed hot going 2-for-4 on Saturday. Brezezniak is primarily a first baseman but looks comfortable playing third base also. He stands at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds and has next-level power already. Brzezniak has very good bat speed and has a good build. He is a very hard out and is a competitor at the plate which makes him very fun to watch.

Titans Baseball shortstop was Cameron Goff (2021, Punta Gorda, Fla.) and he stood out on Saturday. Goff is 6-foot-1, 160 pounds and he is very athletic with room to fill out and get stronger. Goff has good range at short and has a strong arm also. He has a short compact swing with pop to his pull side as he hit a double to left off of the base of the wall. Goff went 2-for-2 and showed good discipline at the plate with a walk also.

Cole Gonzales (2022, Newberry, Fla.) is the starting left fielder for Gatorball 15U. Gonzales plays with a lot of energy and plays the game the right way. His last at-bat he smoked a ball to deep left field, one-hopping the wall for a triple. He is a good runner as he showed off his speed on the bases and in the outfield running balls down all day. Gonzales is 6-foot-1 and has a good athletic build and he will be a fun player to watch over the next couple of years.

Coming out of the pen for 5 Star National 15U Dobbs was Cole Mathis (2021, Cataula, Ga.). Mathis, who is committed to the College of Charleston, lit up the radar gun at 89 mph. Mathis threw 1 2/3 innings and struck out two. Mathis is 6-foot-1 and uses his long legs to work down the mound using his max effort delivery. He also showed a curveball at 70 mph which kept hitters off balance. He has room to fill out with his big frame and he is a fun player to watch when he is on the bump.

Starting pitcher for Top Tier Roos American 2022 was Kodi Deskins (2023, Gibsonton, Fla.). Deskins is an absolute gamer and pitches with serious intensity. He had his fastball up to 87 mph and his curveball at 67 mph. He threw all of his pitches for strikes in any count which kept hitters off balance all day. Deskins threw five innings of shutout baseball only allowing five hits. He absolutely dominated on the mound and showed a lot of energy, which was very fun to watch.

Cannons Baseball Academy 2022 American’s starting pitcher was Evan Dobias (2022, Sunrise, Fla.). Dobias threw two innings and struck out five without allowing a run. He had his fastball up to 88 mph and had his very sharp curveball at 76 mph. His fastball had great arm-side run that ran into righties. Dobias has a very athletic windup and he dominated the strike zone, throwing his fastball wherever he wanted to. Dobias is a fun pitcher to watch and it will be exciting to see him develop over the next couple years.

Leighton Finley (2022, Richmond Hill, Ga.) was the starting shortstop for Game On Vipers 15U and showed what he can do defensively and offensively. Finley went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. He has a very smooth swing and is a line drive hitter who can hit to all fields. Defensively, Finley has very soft hands and attacks the hop that he wants using his good speed and athleticism. Finley has a very strong arm across the diamond and is a good ball player. Finley is 6-foot-3 and will keep getting stronger and is a player to definitely keep your eyes on.

Roman Keister (2030, Dade City, FL) Could not miss the barrel this weekend tallying 6 hits including 2 triples and 4 RBI. Starts the load early and controls his body well, the up the middle approach really plays in game. Also worked from off the mound for an inning and picked up a punch out.  Colton Russo (2030, Coral Springs, FL) Showed off the power burning outfielders all weekend. 5 hits including two triples that carried over the CF and RF heads. Has a good understanding about using the lower half in the swing and the bat to ball skills really impressed.  Karson Blakney (2030, St. Augustine, FL) Made his impact in a big way this week, collecting the win in the quarterfinals. In his outing he went 5 shutout innings and struck out 5 while only allowing 2 hits. Worked in the mid 70s with the FB and topped out at 78. Also produced on offense driving in 5 RBI on 4 hits. ...

PG Staff Mock Draft

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors. Chicago White Sox 1:1 Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA | 1:41 Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame The White Sox don’t overthink here and select Roch Cholowsky, who has...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
