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.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

College Players of the Week: April 14

Vincent Cervino

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 64

Ron Wolforth

What Do Barry Zito, Justin Verlander, Trevor Bauer, and Dallas Keuchel All Have in Common? By Ron Wolforth | Texas Baseball Ranch® | PG Arm Care Take a second and think about the question posed in the title before you read on. Four Cy Young Award winners. Four of the most decorated pitchers of their generation. What's the common thread? The first answer is obvious… they all won the most prestigious individual award in pitching. Most of you probably got there immediately. The second answer is less obvious… they all trained at the Texas Baseball Ranch® at some point in their development. Interesting, maybe, but not the point of this article. The third answer is the one I really want you to sit with, because it has direct relevance to your career right now: they all move completely differently. And they all attack hitters completely differently. Don't rush past that....
