KC Grand Opening Scout Notes

Brian Justice (2025, Tulsa, Okla.) was impressive on both sides of the ball this weekend. He hit .400 on the weekend, drove in five runs and recorded a pair of singles. He is very physical with the bat and has good intent in his swings. On the mound he threw two scoreless innings and all six outs he recorded came by the way of the strikeout.

Easton Martin (2025, Inola, Okla.) is a switch-hitter who had a great all around showing. Hit .500 over the weekend, finding the barrel several times resulting in two extra-base hits. Showed good speed and instincts on the base paths. Played a solid center field with range and an accurate throwing arm.




Cooper Auschwitz (2025, Owasso, Okla.) showed two-way ability this weekend. He had one of the hardest hit balls all weekend on his double down the left field line. He has quick hands and a compact swing that can generate plenty of bat speed. He drove in five runs on the weekend, and also scored three runs, while also tossing a scoreless outing on the mound, showing a firm fastball and a breaking ball.


Cord Nolan (2026, Bixby, Okla.) is a switch-hitter who looked comfortable from both sides of the plate. He has a quiet and efficient stroke and he showed an all fields approach. Nolan drew two walks on the weekend, and scored two runs.
 

Luke Beeler (2025, Jenks, Okla.) is a two-way player who struck out six over two innings of work on the bump. Beeler showed an impressive fastball and slider mix that he filled the zone up with and generated several swings and misses. At the plate, he took aggressive swings and is real physical with the bat. There's plenty of pull-side power and has some loft to his swing.
 

Riley Hurst (2025, Pryor, Okla.) pitched 3 1/3 innings and struck out six batters. He showed a three-pitch mix (fastball, curveball, changeup) and was able to land all three offerings in the zone. He had some deception in the delivery and a good presence on the bump.
 
Isaac King (2025, Hulbert, Okla.) had an impressive weekend at the plate where he hit .400, scored two runs and drove in five. King played both catcher and third base and made some nice plays at each position. He did a good job of blocking balls when he was behind the plate and ranged well to both sides of his body at third base.


Brock Bales (2025, Cushing, Okla.) showed a very disciplined approach at the plate and tracks pitches well. Bales has an aggressive but under control swing that stays connected throughout the stroke. He showed an all-fields approach and hit an inside-the-park home run by driving a pitch to the opposite field. He also scored two runs on the weekend.
 
Eli Dean (2025, Perry, Kan.) was a tough out at the plate all weekend long. He went 6-for-7 including three doubles over four games. Dean has a good overall approach at the plate with good strike zone judgement. The center fielder made all the plays in the field with efficient routes to track down fly balls. On the mound, he showed good command of a fastball and overall threw four innings recording six strikeouts without issuing a walk.

Ernesto Lopez (2025, Kansas City, Kan.) showed off his skills on both sides of the ball. Lopez is a versatile infielder who played both second base and third base and made nice plays at both positions. With the bat, he hit .375 on the weekend while driving in five runs in the process. He also exhibited good plate discipline skills by drawing four walks on the weekend as well.

Deacon Pomeroy (2025, Topeka, Kan.) made a lot of loud contact throughout the weekend. He recorded five extra-base hits while showing the ability to hit to all fields. There's plenty of bat speed and good barrel control in his swing. Pomeroy worked well behind the plate with good footwork and effort on balls in the dirt.


Sam Bettis (2025, Topeka, Kan.) is a two-way standout from the weekend. On the mound, he struck out 10 batters over five innings of work and didn’t allow a hit or walk. He found the barrel multiple times at the plate over the weekend as well, including an RBI double to center field. He also handled the first base and left field positions well on the defensive side of the ball.
 
Max Huston (2025, Topeka, Kan.) showed off his glove skills by making several nice plays ranging to both sides of his body. He also shined at the plate by hitting .500 on the weekend along with six runs scored and eight RBI while hitting out of the leadoff spot. He also threw one scoreless frame on the mound and struck out two batters.

Cole Pladson (2025, Clay Center, Kan.) helped pitch his team to a tournament championship this weekend throwing four scoreless innings in the championship game. He showed good command of his pitches and filled up the zone throwing 65% of his pitches for strikes. Overall he allowed one hit and recorded five strikeouts in his championship game performance.

Easton Phillippe (2025, Kansas City, Mo.) reached safely in all four games he played this weekend, including base hits in three of those games. He handles the bat well from the left side and competes every at-bat. Phillippe worked hard behind the plate showing blocking skills and good footwork. He showed impressive receiving skills as well often working under the baseball and catching the ball square to his body.

Brody Irlbeck (2025, Kansas City, Mo.) had a great outing on the mound pitching his team to a win by tossing six innings and striking out 14 along the way. Irlbeck filled up the zone with a fastball/breaking ball combo throwing 68% of his pitches for strikes. The left-handed pitcher showed an impressive feel for pitching while changing hitters eye levels during at-bats. He has a great competitive demeanor pitching his team to the championship game.

Dillon Willis (2025, Maysville, Mo.) showed two-way ability this weekend. He had an RBI double to the right-center field gap with a good swing on a fastball, and also had a scoreless outing on the mound, striking out three batters over 2 1/3 innings. He threw 76% of his pitches for strikes and really challenged opposing batters with his fastball.

Jayden Hendricks (2025, Kansas City, Kan.) reached base all but one time at the plate this weekend with five total hits and five walks. He really showed the ability to barrel up the baseball to go along with good plate discipline. Hendricks played all over the field as well (catcher, third base, center field) showing good feel for all three spots defensively. He has good speed on the base paths and has present base running instincts. Hendricks was fun to watch play this weekend.

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.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 8

We are past the midpoint of the college baseball season and the stakes are rising by the week. Conference races are tightening, schedules are getting harder, and the résumés that will matter in the selection room are being written right now — one series at a time. This week's most significant development came in Division II, where North Greenville swept Young Harris in three consecutive one-run games to claim the top spot for the first time this season, knocking Tampa from a perch they've held most of the year. It's a genuine changing of the guard at the top, and it's exactly the kind of shakeup that makes this stretch of the season worth paying close attention to. Across all three divisions the picture is coming into focus. In Division I NAIA, Georgia Gwinnett remains the standard while Taylor and Cumberlands continue to make their cases from behind. In Division III,...

Iowa Spring League Notes: Week 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Brooks Mitchell-Birdsell (2027, Atkins, Iowa) was solid on both sides of the ball this weekend. He was able to show a clean move working into it, with the feel to impact it out in front and drive hard through contact. He had good barrel accuracy with feel to drive the ball well, especially working pull-side. He was 4-for-8 on the weekend with a double to his credit, driving in 7 runs as well. Mitchell-Birdsell also put together a good outing on the mound, delivering 2 innings of scoreless work with 3 punchouts. He worked the low 80s with some run, flashing a mid-70s curveball with good 11-5 shape and depth.  Maddux Mueller (2026, Amana, Iowa) LH bat with plenty to like in the batter’s box, and he put together a solid showing this weekend. He finished 2-for-3 with a double, demonstrating both contact ability and the capacity to drive the baseball for extra bases. Mueller...

College Players of the Week: April 7

April 7th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF  The UCF Knights (20-9) are coming off one of their biggest series victories in years when they went to Morgantown and took down the Mountaineers to take control of the Big 12 regular season standings.  The offense put on quite the performance and Andrew Williamson set the tone by leaving the yard in his first at-bat of the weekend launching a towering home run over the centerfield wall.  The 6-0/195 lefty from St. Petersburg, FL has one of the sweetest strokes in the college game today and when he goes, so do the Knights.  In the 3-game series, the junior collected 6 hits in his 10 at-bats, scoring 6 runs, on 5 walks, a double and he launched 3 home runs all told.  While he had a stretch earlier in the season where he was searching for his stroke a bit, he is getting locked in at the...

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside.  Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad.  The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll.  The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend.  Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

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

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...
