16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4

The 16u BCS Platinum Playoffs started this afternoon at the Lee County Player Development Complex and three games highlighted the action. Team Elite 16u Premier and Scorpions 2021 Select Kelly squared off in a game that was a give and take affair finally captured by the home-standing Scorpions.

Eli Durnell (2021, Suwanee, GA), a rising junior at Greater Atlanta Christian HS, helped the Team Elite nine put five runs on the board in the top of the first inning. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound righthanded hitter used a short, direct swing path and a middle-of-the field approach to go 2-for-3 on the day and drive in three runs.

The Scorpions 2021 Select Kelly team was not to be denied, however, as they battled back with three in the bottom of the first and eventually overcame the early five-run deficit to post the well-earned, 8-6 victory.

Pacing the offense for the Scorps was Nicky Fusco (2021, West Palm Beach, Fla.).  The 5-foot-10, 160-pound, junior-to-be at Forest Hill Community HS is deceptively strong and uses a solid lower half to help him drive the ball to all parts of the park. He uses a flatter path and appears to have no problem getting his barrel consistently to the ball. His 2-for-3 day included a well-struck double. His two knocks on the afternoon plated three runs for the winners.

Cade Haddix (2021, Winter Park, Fla.) also had a nice day at the dish for the Scorpions. The 6-foot, 170-pound Winter Park HS junior also had two big knocks and scored two runs, while driving in two. The athletic Haddix is also a heady runner who takes an aggressive approach on the basepaths.

Central Florida USA 2021 Team Elite rode the talented left arm of Drew Elkins (2021, Huntington, W.Va.) to a solid 6-2 win over Gatorball in first round playoff action. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound lefthander, who will be a junior at Cabell Midland HS, used smooth, easy and repeatable mechanics and an advanced ability to pitch to the edges with a commendable 79-82 mph fastball and a tight spinning, 68-70 mph, 12-to-6 curveball. His ability to add and subtract velocity on both pitches made him especially tough for five solid innings. He only allowed two hits during his outing and struck our four in picking up the well-earned victory.

Pacing the Central Florida efforts offensively were two outstanding hitters. Trey Rucker (2021, Boerne, Texas) got his club on the board in the first inning with a booming triple to the deepest part of center field. His soaring knock plated two Central Florida runners, giving his club a lead that they would never relinquish. The athletically gifted IMG Academy junior is also stellar at shortstop. His quick feet, smooth fielding actions, ability to cover a lot of ground and advanced arm strength help him make plays that only a few at this level can.

Avery Robertson (2021, Rossville, Tenn.) is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound bundle of muscle who can drive a baseball. The Briarcrest Christian Academy junior uses a powerful lower half and plus torque with every pass to hit the ball to the biggest parts of the yard. His 2-for-4 day included a ringing double. He also scored a run for the victors.

The FBH Angels overwhelming offense carried the load in their 14-6 win over Team Siege 2021 Prospects in the first round playoff action. Jose Ramierz (2022, Lakeland, Fla.) helped get the Angels’ offense off and running early. His short and compact swing has a slight lift at contact and his quick hands and ability to get his barrel to the ball consistently, make him a tough out. The rising sophomore at Lakeland Senior HS is also an accomplished baserunner with plus speed.

David Fackson (2021, Valrico, Fla.) is a slugger who can drive the ball to the deepest part of any park. The 6-foot, 220-pound Durant HS junior-to-be, uses his strong lower half and classic lefthanded path to get his barrel to the ball with a pronounced lift at contact. His outstanding day saw him go 3-for-3. He also scored a run and drove in three big runs for the victorious Angels.

Pacing the Team Siege 2021 Prospects on offense was Dylan Boyd (2021, Miami, Fla.). The rising junior at Coral Reef Senior HS is a 5-foot-11, 155-pound line drive hitter with a smooth approach and a flat path that produces well-struck hits to all parts of the field. His 2-for-3 day included a barreled-up double.

The starting pitcher for Merc Elite Baseball on Thursday was righthander Owen Mezzanotte Zadrozny (2021, Cumberland, R.I.). Zadrozny threw a heavy fastball that he had up to 89 mph and was sitting 85-86. He also showed a curveball that he did not throw much at 72 mph but it did look good when he threw it. His better secondary pitch was his changeup that was 77 mph and had hitters swinging right over top of it. Zadrozny has a large frame at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds and his fastball really gets on hitters in a hurry. He threw 5 1/3 innings while striking out five and eliciting a lot of weakly hit balls.

Third baseman for Team Tomahawk Select 2021 was leadoff hitter McCage Pruitt (2021, Voldosta, Ga.). Pruitt looked great at the plate going 2-for-2 with two doubles and he scored three runs on Thursday. He also showed off some good defense making plays to both sides of him and showing off a strong arm across the diamond. Pruitt is 5-foot-8, 167-pounds and shows off good present strength, especially in his legs. Pruitt is a tough out at the plate and he showed that on Thursday finding consistent barrels and making hard contact. Pruitt will continue to develop over the next couple of years and become an even better ballplayer.

Eldred J George (2021, Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico)started at shortstop for IBAHS Knights Prime 2021 and looked sharp on defense. George is very smooth at short making all his plays look routine using his soft hands and strong arm. He also has good range, which comes from his good speed, that he also showed off on the basepaths being a threat to steal a bag. George is 5-foot-9, 135-pounds and has plenty of room to fill out and get stronger. He went 1-for-4 on the day with a bases-clearing double that he hit hard. George’s hitting and power will get better once his strength starts to increase, and adding in his great defense he will become an even better player.

Perfect Game Staff

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...

Lennex Minor (‘28 CA) absolutely destroys this offering to the PS for a 2-run shot. 2-4 on the day w/ 4 driven in. Athletic in the box w/ a quick stroke and strength throughout the frame. Also closed out the game running the FB up to 88 in a St. Bernard win #PGHS @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/KF7BsKGcm7 — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) March 29, 2026 Lennex Minor, MIF/P, St. Bernard (2028) Minor had a massive day in my look this past Saturday in a game being played at the University of San Diego.  The sophomore had a pair of hits, one which was a no-doubt homer, and drove in four.  Minor’s athleticism jumps out on the field with twitchy actions both at the dish and in the dirt.  He features a 6-foot, 170-pound frame with room to add and generates from a strong lower half and exceptionally quick hands.  Showing two-way potential, he made an...

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...
