15u South WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1

Landon Schroeder (2022, Round Rock, Texas) was 1-for-2 with a hard-hit single to right field on Saturday morning, walking once and putting together some really impressive at-bats. Schroeder has a physical, 6-foot, 175-pound frame, and he has an athletic presence in the box with an upright and slightly open stance. Schroeder has a direct hand path to contact, and his hands work well with developing use of the lower half. Schroeder’s versatility in the field is impressive as well, as the primary infielder played a good center field Saturday. Schroeder has the present strength and quickness to develop nicely as his career continues to unfold.

Wyatt Wiatrek (2022, Sinton, Texas) is an interesting arm in the 2022 class and he showed signs of some really positive things to come on Saturday morning. Wiatrek has a physical and athletic frame at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds and he uses his lower half well to create good linear direction down the mound. Wiatrek was free and easy from a high three-quarters slot on Saturday, sitting 84-86 mph, topping at 87 with the fastball. Wiatrek has a clean hand path and low-effort delivery throughout; however, he did struggle to get over his front side and down in the zone at times. Wiatrek has developing feel for a curveball at 69-71 mph, and his entire arsenal should become more effective as that pitch continues to develop.

Trey Duffield (2022, Houston, Texas) was 1-for-3 with two RBI on Saturday. Duffield’s lone hit was a loud double to the gap in left-center field, scoring a pair. Duffield starts from a slightly crouched and even stance at the plate, and his tall and slender frame has plenty of room to fill out and add strength. Duffield has quick hands and a direct path to contact, and while he works through the middle of the field with his approach there is some present power to the pull side.

Canon Chester (2022, Sinton, Texas) had a standout day for Texas Twelve Maroon 2022 on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a single and double. Chester has a physical, 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame and starts from a slightly crouched and even stance at the plate. Chester has a middle-of-the-field approach, driving a pair of balls back through the box on Saturday. Following a hard single to center field in his second at-bat of the day, Chester used his present strength and bat speed to drive a ball deep to the wall in center field for a double. The ball jumps of his barrel when squared, and the power is something that will only develop more as he continues to mature.

Jerson Martin (2023, Norman, Okla.) put on a very impressive, all-around display during Saturday’s game. The primary catcher has some fast-developing receiving skills behind the plate with present arm strength that he is not afraid to show off. Martin caught two runners stealing and threw behind another for an out in the game, and his confidence to put strong throws on the bag was impressive to see. Martin has a simple and upright stance at the plate, and his middle of the field approach lead to a pair of loud, line drive outs that were caught out near the wall in center field. Martin has an athletic 6-foot, 190-pound frame with plenty of room to fill out and add strength.

Landon Usry (2022, Dallas, Texas) was productive out of the leadoff spot for D-BAT Elite Hansen on Saturday afternoon. Usry went 2-for-3 at the plate, highlighted by a hard-hit triple to the gap in right-center field. Usry showed the ability to drive the baseball to all fields on Saturday, pairing the triple with a well-struck single into left. Usry has a young and strong frame at 5-foot-8, 155-pounds, and he flashed excellent speed on the triple. He’s a high motor player that constantly looks to make things happen at the top of the order and it will be interesting to see how the frame develops as he gets older.

Kannon Garza (2022, League City, Texas) led the charge offensively for Adidas Baseball USA 2022 – Moore. Garza employed a smooth, powerful swing with good weigh transfer off his back-side. with some pull-side pop. In two at-bats, he connected for two doubles that he drove deep in the left-center field gap plating three runs along the way. Behind the dish, Garza worked well, stayed underneath the baseball with online and accurate throws.  His development behind the plate should continue to grow and should add more physicality as he matures into his solid frame.

Hitting cleanup for South Texas Sliders 15u Koehl was Viggo Lopez (2022, San Juan, Texas) who had a very powerful performance at the plate. Lopez went 4-for-4 and was a home run shy of the cycle while driving in five runs. The young lefthanded hitter showed some serious pop from his medium frame by crushing the ball twice to deep right field for triples and followed that up with a single up the middle, then roped a double down the left field line. He had a smooth swing, with present bat speed and stayed in the zone through contact and hit the ball on the barrel in all four of his at-bats. Through two games he is slashing .833/.857/1.833 with eight RBI. Lopez has a chance to become a very intriguing prospect if his bat continues develop over time.

Grayson Murray (2022, Troup, Texas) is a two-way player for Performance Baseball Texas 15u. The righthanded pitcher worked four innings, struck out nine while allowing only one hit and zero walks. Out of the windup, he incorporated a small side-step into a high leg kick and hand gather. He had a clean hand break with a long arm circle in the back and threw from a high-three quarters arm slot.  Murray was able to get downhill and worked low in the zone with two pitches. His fastball was 83-86 with late run while using a sharp, late breaking slider for a swing-and-miss pitch at 73 mph. He filled up the zone and threw 73 percent strikes and was very impressive during his outing. At the plate, Murray was 2-for-3 with two singles and a run. Murray has a big, projectable frame and with added strength he should continue to climb in velocity along with creating more juice at the plate.

Jett Williams (2022, Heath, Texas) is the No. 2-ranked shortstop in Texas for the 2022 class. Williams had proper footwork, soft hands, good arm strength and made all the routine plays. He flashed solid range and covered a lot of ground due to his quick first step and advanced reads. Williams was 2-for-4 at the plate with a triple, a single, two RBI and two runs scored. He showed some quickness in his bat, a smooth and fluid swing and a linear plane. Williams has present athleticism and will be an interesting following as his career moves forward.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022.

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...

Will Dembo

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...

Hortenbury was probably one of my personal favorites, as this was my first time seeing it in action. It’s an athletic two-way profile that has a chance to do both at the next level. But what stood out to me, was his potential on the mound. The left-handed pitcher moves very well and is comfortable there.
