14u South Scout Notes: Day 1 & 2

Andrew Jenkins
Standing at 6-2, 155 pounds, Pryce Bender (2024, Edmond, OK) is a young, lean framed athlete for Oklahoma Mudcats 14U. Listed as a primary shortstop, he saw time at multiple positions and displayed the ability to play in the infield and in the outfield. He has smooth actions at shortstop and semi-soft hands that will get better over time. At the plate, he starts with an upright and open stance with a leg kick trigger. He swings with intent, has a level bat path and makes contact out front with the barrel head. Bender also saw time on the mound. The arm works well, with a longer circle in the back and some extension out front. The fastball was 79-81 mph with a curveball in the low 70’s. Bender is a prospect that will catch the attention of colleges over the next four years.

Logan Wade (2023, Newcastle, OK) came out of the bullpen for Skills Baseball 14U on day one action. He worked 3 1/3 innings, allowed no hits and punched out two. The delivery had some effort but was controlled upon release. He threw from a high three-quarters arm slot with a deeper circler in the back, created some plane to the fastball and located two pitches for strikes. He worked his fastball in the zone at 78-82 mph and used a curveball that had 11-5 break at 69 mph.



Owen Coil (2024, Stillwater, OK) is listed as a primary third baseman for the Premier OKC Athletics 14U Navy. He starts with a square, up right stance, works into a Gary Sheffield type hand load and gains ground with his leg kick. He showed to have a pull side approach in each at-bat with a balanced swing upon contact. In his first plate appearance of the tournament, hitting in the No. 3 hole, he got the bat head out front and ripped the baseball for a double to the right center field gap. Coil stands at 5-8, 145 pounds and has plenty of room to grow and fill as he matures.

Another Premier OKC Athletics 14U Navy hitter stood out at Tuttle High School on day one action in Carson Beam (2024, Edmond, OK.) He went 2 for 3 at the plate with four RBI. He started with a square stance and a handset just above the shoulder. The hands and backside work well together as they are timed up properly during his load. He has linear movements after his toe tap trigger and does a good job of staying balanced throughout. In his first plate appearance Beam hit a deep shot to the right center field gap and followed that with a hard ground ball up the middle in his third at-bat.

An intriguing arm for OK Fuel 14U is Brady McAdoo (2025, Tuttle, OK). The young righthanded pitcher begins with a small gather step into a leg kick that goes to his chest. He throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a longer circle in the back. He was able to control the fastball to both sides of the plate while topping out at 77 mph. McAdoo pitched four innings, allowed two hits and struck out three. The frame is young and lean with room to add strength and size as he matures.

Outfielder Tristan Bittle (2024, Arlington, Texas) is a fast twitch athlete that plays for 5 Star Performance 14U. At the plate, he begins with an even and slightly open stance, a high handset with a high back elbow. The young righthanded hitter shows present bat speed and does a nice job of staying short to the baseball and long through it at contact. Hitting in leadoff spot, Bittle started off the game with a liner over the third baseman’s head for an easy standup double. He followed that with another line drive to left center field for a single in his second plate appearance. The future is bright for Bittle and it will be fun to watch him grow over the next four years at Martin High School.

Cole Cruz (2023, Shady Shores, Texas) led the way for USA Prime Brewer. The young righthanded hitter shows a good feel for the barrel with some lift in his swing. The swing is simple and easy, works well and should continue to improve as he develops at Denton Guyer High School. He does a good job using his lower half and staying linear upon contact. He would single in his first plate appearance and would follow that with a single to right field in his second at-bat.

Lefthanded hitter Aiden Sims (2024, Forney, Texas) brings a smooth swing to the plate with a quite approach. Sims keeps the barrel in the zone for a long time and covers the outside well and is able to get his hands to an inside pitch. He has the ability to hit to all fields and showcased that with a backside double to left field in his first at-bat and hit a go ahead double to right center field in his third plate appearance. Standing at 6-0, 145 pounds, Sims has room to fill out his frame over time.

Cohl McCoy (2024, Fort Worth, Texas) led the way for USA Prime National 2024 going 3 for 4 with a double and two runs scored. In his first at-bat he hit a single to left field and then stole second base. In his second at-bat he would single through the six-hole and later come around to score. In his third plate appearance he smashed a double to the left field fence that left the bat in a hurry. McCoy has quick hands and the swing has intent. Defensively, he has soft hands and with above average footwork and a playable arm at second base.

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. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

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. Has the mound presence Supplemented with a free-flowing and loose arm from a higher ¾ slot, he pounded the zone in his lone appearance. He went...
