Players covered: Tommy Mace (Florida), Daniel Federman (Miami), Matt McCormick (West Virginia), Jackson Wolf (West Virginia), and Ryan Watson (Georgia State)

Tommy Mace, RHP, Florida 



Although a high price tag may have contributed, after going undrafted in the shortened five round 2020 Draft, Tommy Mace undoubtedly comes into 2021 with something to prove. He did just that, continuing the steady track of improvement he has been on since his freshman year.

Facing a very tough lineup in #7 ranked Miami, Mace ended the night with eight punchouts over five innings of one run baseball. The 6’6”/230 righty has added on 15 pounds of muscle since 2020 and we are beginning to finally see the physical projection that many envisioned come to fruition. Mace has a very athletic operation for such having such length and repeats well. Thanks to his long limbs and stride length, he gets plus extension down the hill.

Mace sat 92-96 with his fastball throughout the outing and held the velocity pretty well. He sunk and ran his fastball which was most effective low in the zone. He has a pretty polished arsenal that includes a cutter, curveball, and changeup. His cutter is his best secondary pitch at the moment featuring true, hard horizontal movement at times in the high-80’s. Mace mixed in his curveball at 78-79 with 11-5 shape that flashed late bite from time to time. He drew some ugly swings when it was on and utilized it as an out pitch.

Mace had a strong showing on opening night and it will be interesting to see how continues to build off of this as we approach the Draft. At this point in time the righty is on track to be taken off the board in the first few rounds in July.


Daniel Federman, RHP, Miami
Stepping out of the closer role and into the Friday night role to face the number one team in the country is no easy task. Federman cruised through the first four innings with relatively minimal damage while striking out seven.

The 6’1”/185 righthander has a medium build and repeated his delivery pretty well with a nice tempo. Federman employs a long arm action and a knee-to-core leg lift before stiffening up his lower half slightly post-release.

The Pembroke Pines native operated in the 87-91 range, occasionally grabbing 92. His fastball featured hard arm side run. He pitched off his heater with a slider at 78-82. When right, it was a very effective out pitch. Although it backed up at times, he threw his best sliders when he needed to. It was this pitch that he used to strike out Jud Fabian twice on and cause several swing and misses. Federman also threw a formidable change that flashed sink and heavy fade in the high-70s.

There is a lot to like in Federman’s three pitch mix. The point of emphasis going forward will be consistency and replicating consistent shape on his slider. He has also lived a smidge higher in terms of velocity and ran it up to 94 in the past. It should be interesting to see if the velocity ticks back up while he is the starter role.

-Kyler Peterson

Matt McCormick, C, West Virginia

Matt McCormick (2019 Orland Park, Ill.) had already made a name for himself in his prep days as he was drafted in the 40th round by the Reds in 2019 & ranked in the top 100 of his class via Perfect Game before deciding to head to school. The big left-handed bat has easy juice in the swing as he went yard to the pull-side in his first at-bat of the year. He does a great job leveraging the baseball while showing total control of the bat head. In his next at-bat, he took what was given to him and laid down a perfect push bunt to the third base side before going on to score. The early no doubt shot was an offensive spark as the Mountaineers went on to win in extra innings on Opening Day. Look for McCormick to continue to swing a hot stick & cement his name being called in the draft come 2022.

Ryan Watson, RHP, Georgia State

Facing the Mountaineers & on the hill for Georgia State was Ryan Watson (2018 Sugar Hill, Ga.), a 6-foot-3 right-hander with loud stuff. He was athletic in the delivery as he pounded the zone while working downhill with a heavy fastball. Watson ran the heater up to 93 mph and sat in the low-90’s for the majority of his outing. while mixing in a sharp slider in the low to mid-80’s that he wasn’t afraid to double up as he worked it in well off the fastball. He also flashed feel for a fading changeup that's still a work in progress, but he landed for strikes and kept hitters off-balance. Watson also projects as a top ten round draft pick & with outings like he had on Opening Day, that projection may ring true. He also went 5.0 IP and struck out seven without walking a single batter.
 
Jackson Wolf, LHP, West Virginia

Eligible for the 2021 draft, Jackson Wolf (2021 Gahanna, Ohio) was on the hill for West Virginia & had a solid outing in cold weather. The big left-hander started off slow with a couple of walks & a hits batsman before settling down and carving up the opposition. He works from a naturally tough angle as hitters struggled to pick up spin out of hand. He ran the fastball up to 92 mph early and went on to bump it even later in his outing. The slider was nothing short of nasty as he tunneled it well and it showed late tilt and he also proved capable of dropping it under right-handed hitter's hands while getting swings & misses. The changeup was harder than we have seen in the past as it was up to the mid-80’s as he buried it down in the zone. He ended his day going 5.0 IP and struck out seven while giving up just one hit. He added a strong outing to his resume with a bevy of scouts in attendance as he projects to be a top ten round pick in July.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...
