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.

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.

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long. Cloud County and Midland College continue to put together strong weeks and climb the rankings each week it seems. Jumping into the rankings this week on the strength of a 15-game winning streak is Seminole State (OK). And Linn Benton makes the top 25 for a 2nd consecutive week and looks like the top team in the NWAC this spring. Plenty of high-level matchups at the JUCO level for some of the top teams in the county this next week.  Rk.

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

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...
