WWBA 18u National Championship Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5



Will Cannon (2021, Orange Park, Fla.) was on the hill for LB21 Texas National as he got the ball for a winner take the pool game. The right-hander came out firing at he was up to 92 mph early and pounded the glove around 90 mph for most of his outing. He works with a compact build as the frame is full of muscle, especially the lower half. The mechanics are simple as he drops and drives while doing a good job of driving off the backside. He doesn’t necessarily get over the front side to the best of his abilities, but the arm strength helps cancel that out. He released from a higher slot and stayed behind the baseball as the heater had rising actions. He flashed a sharp slider in the upper-70s with short vertical depth and dropped in a tumbling changeup in the low-80s. The Northwest Florida commit ended up going just 2 innings pitched as he struck out five and didn’t give up a hit. Look for him to be back on the mound as the playoffs will be starting here soon as he looks to help propel his squad to a National Championship.
 




William Nobles (2022, Columbus, Ga.) is a very intriguing uncommitted arm as we have seen him continue to make strides. We saw the 6-foot-3 right-hander at the Southeast Top Prospect Games last fall and since then, he has been on our radar. The East Cobb Astros White team member was on the hill again today as he had a strong showing. The deliver is athletic as he is in sync with both the lower and upper half. He delivers from a tough three-quarter slot as he creates natural deception. Opposing hitters had trouble seeing spin early and it ultimately resulted in him carving up the opposition. The fastball jumps out of hand showing arm side run as he sat in the mid-80s and was up to 88 mph early. He also mixed in a fading changeup in the upper-70s that he got swing and miss with especially from left-handed hitters. He rounded the arsenal off with a sharp slider in the mid-70s that had vertical life to it. In 5 innings pitched, he struck out seven while only walking a single batter. Nobles still has some things to clean up but the upside here is immense. A must-follow for schools in the Southeast as this has the early makings of a legit arm at the next level.
