Jax Bishop, RHP, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-1/158, Rome, Ga.
Travel Team: East Cobb Astros 14u | College Commitment: Tennessee



One of the several repeat selections from the 2020 13u Select Festival, Bishop has since added strength to his 6-foot-1 frame, refined his operation on the bump and has given his verbal commitment to Tony Vitello and the Tennessee Volunteers. While Bishop still isn’t overly physical just yet, the athleticism and arm speed certainly stand out and the numbers back it up as he punched out 38 in 26 2/3 innings while making noted improvements in the command category as well. In a summer of quality outings, the future Vol twirled perhaps his best game during the 14u WWBA as he tossed a five inning no-hitter, in which he struck out 10, and proved to be an extension of what we’ve come to expect. The fastball lives comfortably in the mid-80s, peaking at 87 mph, with big life from a loose arm stroke, as part of a true three-pitch mix. 

Braden Booth, RHP, Class of 2024
R-R, 6-1/175, Madison, Ala.
Travel Team: VBA Black 15u

Booth's numbers may not fly off the page at first glance, but as a 2024 graduate he spent the entirety of the summer playing against his grad class, and even up at the 16u level at times, before making his 14u “debut” at the National Showcase. Athletically built at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds with two-way potential given his ability to swing it in the box thanks to standout bat speed and big intent with each pass through the zone, Booth has an extremely high ceiling on the mound and it’s scary to think he hasn’t yet come close to hitting his ceiling. The young Alabama native has already run his fastball upwards of 89 mph this summer, routinely working into the upper-80s with a low effort operation and quality arm speed, something he maintains very well for a young arm when throwing his short, late biting slider in the upper-70s. 

Samuel Cozart, RHP, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-7/240, High Point, N.C.
Travel Team: South Charlotte Panthers | College Commitment: Mississippi State

He still hasn’t entered high school yet, but Cozart has already become a household name on the travel circuit in part due to being the top ranked player in the class, or his imposing physicality, or maybe for his refined feel and aptitude on the mound. Already standing at a very believable 6-foot-7, 240 pounds, Cozart has spent much of his career playing up against older competition though that hasn’t inhibited his opportunities for success as the numbers back up. For as much as Cozart’s velocity already stands out, he has topped out at 91 mph, it’s his feel to set hitters up while commanding four pitches that truly separates him from the pack. Despite his size/age combo, it’s a rhythmic, repeatable delivery for Cozart which in turn allows him to pound the zone, mixing a firm low-80s slider while turning over a quality changeup with late fading action.

Cannon Goldin, OF, Class of 2025
L-L, 5-11/171, Buford, Ga.
Travel Team: Team Elite 14u | College Commitment: South Carolina

If you’re looking for high-end athleticism and fast-twitch muscle, there’s no need to look any further as the young South Carolina commit out of Georgia possesses both of those attributes. He’s added noticeable physical strength to his frame over the last year, though his overall game revolves around his speed and ability to put the ball in play rather than trying to juice it out of the yard, staying short and compact to the ball, spraying line drive contact around the yard. Goldin served as a quintessential leadoff man for Team Elite this summer, showing solid bat-to-ball skills as evidenced by his .377 average over 114 at-bats with 5 doubles and 4 triples, finishing with a .486 on-base percentage while swiping 15 bags. The speed also suits him well in center field, patrolling the gaps well with a quick first step while showing solid arm strength out of the hand. 

Aiden Harris, 3B, Class of 2024
R-R, 6-3/215, Midlothian, Va.
Travel Team: Richmond Braves | College Commitment: Virginia

Harris was one of the more physical players at last year’s 13u Select Festival and there’s no denying the fact that the young UVA commit is bigger and stronger than he was a year ago. He enjoyed a successful summer season, putting together a string of four All-Tournament Team selections (3 for hitting, 1 for pitching), including a strong showing at the 14u WWBA World Championship where he hit .333 but more importantly showed some impressive improvements at the plate. The aforementioned physicality plays extremely well in his swing as Harris is able to power baseballs to all parts of the field, but it’s the adjustments he has made to his overall approach that has served him well whether it’s recognizing off-speed out of the hand, making a mid-swing adjustment, or simply spitting on a tough pitch. He moves well on his feet at the hot corner with athleticism, but it’s the big right-handed power that’s the true calling card here. 

Coy James, IF, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-0/165, Advance, N.C.
Travel Team: Canes National

Not even a year ago you could look at James and think his future may be on the mound, already working into the low-80s with his fastball and spinning one of the better breaking balls in the class. Jump forward to present day and the fastball took a jump into the upper-80s with the same late biting curveball, but the offensive side of his game had taken an even bigger leap with the added physical strength, that he’s viewed as a primary middle infielder with impact tools at the plate. Throughout the entirety of the summer gauntlet, James hit an impressive .384 while showing an innate feel for the barrel, already driving the ball to all parts of the yard with a simple yet fluid stroke. That same looseness and athleticism in his swing translates well into his defensive actions, moving to either side with fluidity while showing plenty of arm across. 

Donavan Jeffrey, 1B, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-2/200, Chester, Va.
Travel Team: Richmond Braves

Jeffrey and Aiden Harris hit back-to-back in the Richmond Braves lineup, creating one of the more formidable duos that a pitcher can face at the 14u level. Already standing at a strong and physical 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Jeffrey, like Harris, has continued to refine his overall game at the plate, showing more consistency at the plate as evidenced by his .423-3-34 line this summer though he saved some of his best swings for his final event of the summer. The strength of his swing was on display throughout the weekend at the 14u National Showcase, showing real impact and easy strength during batting practice before connecting for one of the best barrels of the event, sending a ground-rule double out to the right-center field gap, bouncing over the 420’ mark. Jeffrey’s athleticism plays around the first base bag, but what he’s capable of doing with the bat is special and sets him apart. 

Everett Johnson, OF, Class of 2025
L-R, 5-8/150, Youngsville, N.C.
Travel Team: Canes National

Johnson may not be the most physical of players in Fort Myers, but you also may not find a better baseball player than the young North Carolina native as his aptitude and baseball IQ stand out amongst his peers. He set the tempo for the Canes National lineup throughout the summer, winning a couple of MVP awards (UBC and 14u World Series) along the way, while exhibiting some of the best hand-eye coordination in the 2025 class. Over the course of 81 at-bats Johnson hit .506, spraying the ball around the yard with an innate handle for the barrel, showing the ability to make an adjustment mid-swing, quickly adapting to the opposing pitcher’s plan. Along with the bat-to-ball skills Johnson also posted one of the better 60-yard times in the country (6.74) and it’s another tool with which he can impact a game, especially when you consider his .615 on-base percentage. 

Jacob Kendall, IF, Class of 2025
L-R, 6-0/155, St. Augustine, Fla.
Travel Team: 5 Star National Neyra

You don’t need to be a baseball person to appreciate the type of year Kendall put together: .419-5-60 with 21 doubles and 11 triples alongside 36 stolen bags, only further cementing his status as one of the top bats in the country. A long and still ultra-projectable 6-foot, 155 pounds, Kendall’s swing is a thing of beauty as it’s long, loose and leveraged, producing plenty of extra-base hits this summer, several of which will be clearing the fences as he continues to physically mature. It’s a rather refined approach for Kendall, remaining balanced throughout his swing while rarely expanding the zone, allowing for barreled contact to all parts of the field, regardless the offering. There’s versatility on the other side of the ball as well as his 7.04 speed suits him well both in the dirt as well as in the outfield, showing ample arm strength all over the diamond. 

Austin Killingsworth, OF, Class of 2025
R-R, 5-10/163, Brooks, Ga.
Travel Team: Home Plate Chili Dogs

Killingsworth came to the 14u National Showcase and put an exclamation point on what was a fruitful summer circuit, punching a return trip to Fort Myers with a nod to the Select Festival. The fast-twitch and athleticism immediately jump for the young Georgian as his 6.65 60-yard dash wasn’t only the best in attendance, but the best time we’ve recorded thus far in the entire 2025 class. His speed is just the starting point in Killingsworth’s evaluation as he’s proven to be more than just a runner, putting up big numbers throughout the summer while earning several All-Tournament Team honors. There’s some surprising strength off the barrel given his build but it’s the bat-to-ball skills and the quickness in his hands that truly stand out, helping to put together a .446 average on the summer with budding extra-base juice. 

John Lash, LHP, Class of 2025
R-L, 6-5/200, Charlotte, N.C.
Travel Team: South Charlotte Panthers

Walking around a quad and stumbling upon an unranked 6-foot-5 left-hander sitting in the upper-80s and touching 90 mph simply doesn’t happen at the 17u level, let alone the 14u level, yet that was the exact case this summer at the 14u WWBA Championship. It may not have been an extensive summer season for Lash as he tossed just 13 1/3 innings but you’d be hard pressed to find a college program who doesn’t already know about the North Carolina southpaw as he was dominant any time he toed the rubber, striking out 27 while walking just 5 and scattering 5 base hits. The level of ease in which he generates the velocity is just as impressive as what the radar gun spits out, routinely sitting in the mid- to upper-80s with the heater, bumping the 90 mph on occasion with heavy life that takes off out of the hand and a late breaking curveball in the low-70s. 

Micah Matthews, OF, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-2/199, Bridgewater, Va.
Travel Team: Team Elite National | College Commitment: South Carolina

Matthews doesn’t look like most of his peers at the 14u level, standing at a chiseled 6-foot-2, 199 pounds and it’s scary to think he’s just getting going as he’s still relatively new to the game of baseball, though that hasn’t thwarted his progress whatsoever. Already committed to the University of South Carolina, Matthews returns to the Select Festival and brings with him a bounty of tools on the diamond. We already touched upon Matthews’ physicality and despite the muscular build his athleticism still stands out as he posted a 6.74 in the 60-yard dash at the 14u National Showcase. The swing itself is a simple one, staying short and direct to the ball with fast hands and standout bat speed, generating the type of life off the barrel you don’t often see at 14u (91 mph exit velocity) while just scratching the surface of his ultimate ceiling. 

Chase Mobley, RHP, Class of 2024
R-R, 6-5/185, Plant City, Fla.
Travel Team: Canes National 15u | College Commitment: Florida State

Of all the 13u Select Festival alum to return to this year’s 14u game, it might be Mobley who has made the biggest strides in terms of consistency over the last calendar year, dominating nearly every time he toed the rubber this summer. The future Florida State Seminole has continued to grow into his long 6-foot-5 frame and with the strength gains he’s able to repeat his delivery much better, which in turn led to a barrage of strikes this summer with one of the more advanced repertoires. He ran his fastball up to 91 mph in what was a truly dominating performance at the 14u National Showcase, a continuation of his summer performance as he struck out 43 in 34 innings pitched to a mere 6 walks. Along with the heater that shows serious bowling ball-type sink he shows a slider, curveball and changeup, all of which can elicit empty swings while commanding within the zone. 

Ethan Murray, IF, Class of 2024
R-R, 6-2/175, Buford, Ga.
Travel Team: East Cobb Baseball | College Commitment: Georgia Tech

Murray has continued to polish and elevate his overall game since last year’s 13u Select Festival, growing into his long 6-foot-2 frame while retaining the looseness and athleticism that helped originally put him on the national scene. After just a couple of swings it’s hard not to get excited at what Murray could look like as a finished product closer to physical maturity as he already generates real whip through the zone with fast hands, big bat speed and excellent extension through the point of contact, lifting balls out of the yard though there’s undoubtedly more in the tank. His actions in the dirt are just as eye-opening with lateral agility and a sense of ease in everything he does from the glove skills to his arm and accuracy across, you’re looking at an impact player on both sides of the ball. 

Nicolas Partridge, IF, Class of 2025
L-R, 5-11/156, Lakeland, Fla.
Travel Team: Ballers

There’s something to be said about offensive consistency on the national circuit and the ultra-projectable Partridge certainly fits that mold as he seemed to find nothing but barrels throughout the spring and summer. A long and lean 5-foot-11, 156 pounds, Partridge’s swing is how you’d draw it up, staying loose and easy through the zone while routinely turning over the barrel with extension out front. Not only does Partridge find the barrel on a regular basis with whip through the zone, but he’s also already showing some extra-base type strength that’ll only project moving forward, especially when factoring in the bat-to-ball skills as suggested by his .409 average. The bat and the long-term projection are big draws with the young Floridian but he’s also a sound defender at third base with soft hands and shows his athleticism both on the move and in his ability to manipulate his release point on throws across. 
 
Xavier Rivera, C, Class of 2024
R-R, 5-9/155, Cayey, P.R.
Travel Team: TBT Ballers National | College Commitment: FIU

A quick look at Rivera and it’s safe to say he’s stronger and much more physical than his listed measurables, a trait that has played well into his actions on either side of the ball throughout the summer and into the showcase circuit. Rivera, another 13u Select Festival alum, is already committed to FIU and the future Panther jumps out immediately in terms of his defensive skill set, showing real flexibility and quickness to his actions with a fast and compact release, all leading into one of the better arms we saw at the 14u National Showcase. The stick plays just as well as he hit .416 over 149 at-bats this summer with 14 doubles, utilizing the strength in his hands while staying compact to the ball to drive it to all parts of the yard, generating easy power off the barrel. 
 
Omar Serna, C, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-0/180, Pearland, Texas
Travel Team: Hardball

Serna jumped onto the prospect scene in a big way with his performance this past March at the 14u South Showcase from which he jumped into the rankings and earned an invite to the National Showcase were he only further elevated his game. A physical standout at 6-foot, 180 pounds, Serna found himself atop a couple different leaderboards as his 80 mph throw down to second base and 1.82 pop time in drills were both event bests while his 88 mph throw across the diamond and 91 mph exit velocity were in the upper tiers of the event. He’s not just a workout-type player however, as Serna’s swing proved to be just as loud in game as it was in BP, generating big loft and power at the point of contact as he sent a double off the replica Monster in live action, proving the physicality plays in all facets of his game. 

Noah Sheffield, IF, Class of 2025
R-R, 5-11/155, Tampa, Fla.
Travel Team: Florida Heat

The last name and the pre-pitch hand timing are two obvious clues as to who pops is (9-time MLB All Star Gary Sheffield), but Noah is very much a prospect in his own right and stood out throughout the summer circuit. Oozing athleticism both within the batter’s box and in the dirt, there’s no denying Sheffield is still climbing towards his ultimate ceiling given the projectability of the 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t already made a name for himself on the national circuit. The bat is the standout tool at present as he’s able to generate some serious whip to the barrel head, resulting in some hard-hit baseball throughout the summer, which at physical maturity, won’t be held in by many parks. Sheffield’s confidence he exudes in the box follows him out to shortstop, moving with fluidity to either side while showing soft glove skills and solid body control.

David Shields, LHP, Class of 2025
S-L, 6-1/180, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Travel Team: Canes National | College Commitment: Miami

If you need to win one game and you’re choosing amongst arms in the 2025 class, Shields may just be your guy and though he doesn’t light up the radar guys like some of the other arms yet, his comfort and polish on the mound is amongst the most advanced in the country. And that’s not to say Shields doesn’t run it up there as he typically lives in the 82-84 mph range and touches a tick better throughout the entirety of a complete game performance, but very few at the 14u level can match his ability to paint to either corner of the plate with intent while harnessing the life he generates on the heater. Over 23 1/3 innings this summer, Shields walked just 3 and struck out 33 while throwing a quality slider and changeup with conviction to the bottom of the zone, leaving hitters at this level little chance for success. 

Carter Smith, IF, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-2/170, Fort Myers, Fla.
Travel Team: Canes National

Simply put, Smith is “what they look like” at this age, already standing at a long and athletic 6-foot-2, 170 pounds with near endless projection and the type of skill set that already stands out in every facet of the game. The young Florida native calls shortstop home, and even with the length to his frame he moves around like he’s 5-foot-10, showing advanced lateral agility, ample range to either side and body control you don’t often find at the 14u level, not to mention a bazooka of an arm across the diamond. His swing is both loose and leveraged, already showing some real carry out to his pull side, a scary proposition for opposing pitchers as Smith will only continue to physically develop. And just in case you aren’t fully enticed by the profile, he’s also been up to 91 mph on the mound with serious running life and big-time arm speed. 

Michael Torres, OF, Class of 2025
L-L, 5-10/160, Miami, Fla.
Travel Team: Elite Squad 15u National | College Commitment: Miami

Torres returns to the Select Festival and looks to build upon last year’s performance in which he won the 13u Festival MVP award after going 2-for-3 with a double, triple and 3 RBI on top of making a spectacular diving catch in the outfield. Not only has Torres taken the next step in terms of physical development since Oklahoma City, but we’ve also seen his two-way potential jump in a big way, as the future Miami Hurricane struck out 26 and walked just 5 in 16 1/3 innings, running his fastball up to 88 mph with a hard, downer curveball that’ll rival any in the class. All that said, he’s still a primary center fielder and rightfully so given his ability to track balls down in the gap with a quick first step while the added physical strength has aided in his left-handed stroke, showing loose hands and a quick, direct path. 

Nolan Traeger, C, Class of 2024
L-R, 6-0/170, Spring, Texas
Travel Team: Texas Twelve | College Commitment: TCU

There’s a lot to like when it comes to the young Texas backstop and he’s only continuing to improve in all facets of his game every time we see him suit up. The conversation with the future Horned Frog starts with his abilities behind the plate, all of which were on full display throughout the 14u National Showcase as his 78 mph throw down to second base and 1.98 pop time were amongst the best in attendance though he’s more than just a performer in workouts. He continues to shine in live action with looseness and flexibility to his action, smothering balls in the dirt well while sticking pitches out front and continuing to show big arm strength to thwart the opposition’s running game. It’s easy to envision his left-handed swing producing plenty of power long-term as it’s a low effort and balanced stroke, showing quickness to his hands and natural lift at the point of contact. 

Domaine Vann, OF, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-2/175, Greensboro, N.C.
Travel Team: 5 Star National Neyra| College Commitment: Miami

Vann is the type of athlete who can excel anywhere on the diamond, and likely in any sport, as he already runs a sub-7 at 6-foot-2 and shows big arm strength everywhere, shining both on the left side of the infield as well as the outfield. One of the three players in the 14u Festival already committed to the University of Miami, Vann has the type of impact tools at the plate to quickly change the course of a game with a single swing, showing lightning fast hands with big intent and explosive bat speed, all of which yields some impressive life off of the barrel (4 home runs on the year). The speed and athleticism combo suits him well both on the bases as well as in the field, whether in the outfield or the dirt, as he swiped 17 bags and moves around on his feet with grace defensively before unleashing his big arm strength, another real weapon. 

Eddie Zaun, IF, Class of 2025
R-R, 6-0/170, Lakewood Ranch, Fla.
Travel Team: Florida Burn

Zaun may not have entered the summer with as much buzz around his name as some of his East teammates, but he quickly rectified that with standout performance after standout performance at all the major circuit events. Strongly built at 6-foot, 170 pounds, Zaun hit .385-4-33 this summer, blasting home runs at the 14u MLK East, UBC, BCS and World Series - all major tournaments - but it’s more so the swing and the “hitterish” tendencies he exudes in the box that are just as noteworthy. His hands are extremely fast as he remains short through the zone, showing the ability to manipulate the barrel while adjusting to whatever the pitcher throws his way, utilizing the whole field with intent. The hands play in the dirt as well for Zaun as does the footwork, showing quickness throughout and solid arm strength across the diamond.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

JK Select Hawaii Tackles 14u West WS

Emily Hicks
Article Image
JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings. The defense backed the effort with great plays in the middle infield, preventing GBG Vegas from building momentum....

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

Following a jam-packed week of entertainment at the 17u WWBA Championships, the top nationally ranked program, USA Prime 17u National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team, faced off against Stacked Baseball 17u (No. 80 nationally) in the highly anticipated championship matchup as both teams looked to earn one of the most prestigious titles in all of travel baseball. Each talented squad entered the finale undefeated, but Stacked Baseball continued their dominance throughout the tournament, defeating the Detroit Tigers Scout Team 10-2 in mercy rule fashion to become national champions behind explosive bats and impressive pitching. Stacked Baseball was the overwhelming top team throughout the week as the WWBA Champions outscored opponents by an absurd 117-12 during their 11-0 run. “We got some talented kids, but we played against a little bit of Goliath over there,” Stacked Head Coach Mike...

Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic.

Texas Twelve Firing On Full Cylinders

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Every team hopes to start a tournament with momentum, but few make a statement quite like Texas Twelve Maroon 2028. Matched up against defending champion Excel Blue Wave National to kick off their debut in the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, Texas Twelve Maroon delivered a complete team performance, earning a hard-fought 3-2 victory and immediately establishing themselves as one of the top teams to watch this week.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Fresh off a state championship for Bading High School, he has picked up where he has left off this spring. It seems that he gets bigger each time I see him, but the frame really works on both sides of the ball at 6-feet, 190-pounds. It’s athletic and the actions on both sides are extremely advanced. Sawyer took home MVP honors after finishing with nine hits, six going for extra bases including two home runs, nine RBIs and eight runs scored. It’s electric at...

Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74. North-south approach with a super steep release. Showed some really good feel for the zone and sequenced effectively to keep hitters off balance. Tristan Wright (2028, Magnolia, Texas) put on a show for Banditos 2028...
