WWBA Underclass Uncommitted: Part 1

Drew Burress (2023, Perry, Ga.) is a well-known prospect on the circuit. There are so many things that he does well, but it really comes down to two things for the talented outfielder: Burress is a winner and can really hit.
 




Michael Graziano (2023, Naples, Fla.) is tooled up. He can run, hit, throw, and the power is coming more consistently. Given his athleticism, he has a good chance to stay in center field and could fit very well at either the top or middle of a lineup at the next level.  
 
Tucker Holland (2023, Burlington, N.C.) is a 6-foot-5, 240-pound left-handed pitcher that at his best runs the heater into the low-90s with real life. He is ultra-competitive and has a four-pitch mix that simply racks up empty swings very quickly. Holland is a highest-level prospect on the national level. 
 
Dondreone Kennedy (2023, Fort Worth, Texas) combines excellent athleticism with solid mechanics in his right-handed swing. The hands are really explosive. He moves well on the infield and has enough arm strength to make all the plays on the left side of the diamond. There is two-way potential as he showcases upper-80s peaks. 
 
Jacob Hudson (2023, Scotts Valley, Calif.) is a good-looking power arm with a low-90s fastball that he gets good plane on and controls well. The SL/CH both flash well and the operation is easy with more heat coming. Hudson swings the bat also and shows some right-handed pop. 
 
Zaid Diaz (2023, Miramar, Fla.) has a strong and compact frame and he uses his core well to torque the barrel hard through the zone. He has a reputation for hitting in game and the power can be surprising, but shows up consistently. The arm strength plays in right field as well. 
 
Dylan Vigue (2023, Leominster, Mass.) has a super projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame and looks like a solid two-way prospect at the next level. He fits on the left side and displays solid jump off the bat. On the bump he peaks in the low-90s with some run/ride on the fastball. He works down and can tunnel the SL/CU at times. 
 


Casey Borba (2023, Santa Ana, Calif.) simply rakes. He seems to get better at every stop and he always finds the fat of the barrel. The power is showing up more, though he doesn’t waver from an advanced all-fields approach. He plays a solid third base using good instincts and a strong throwing arm. He should easily play right away at the next level. 
 
Jeffrey Heuer (2023, Greensboro, Ga.) has the look of a true power arm. He sits around 90 mph already and can run it up close to the mid-90s at times. He backs it up with a good slider that has depth and shape and plays off the heater well. The sturdy build should allow him to log a ton of innings. 
 
Addison Smith (2023, Liberty, Mo.) has all the ingredients to pop in a big way. He has a tall and long frame that give him extra projection as he matures. He moves well at shortstop with good range and can make any movement play on the diamond. The switch-hitting ability puts the icing on the cake as both swings show upside with the left-handed swing that could become a true power stroke. 
 
Joey Tuttoilmondo (2023, Monmouth Junction, N.J.) has a strong workhorse build with a very loose arm and clean release. His low-90s fastball explodes on hitters. He has a three-pitch mix with a changeup and hard breaking curveball. The righty absolutely attacks hitters. 
 
Brayden Bakes (2023, Algonquin, Ill.) has a wide and strong build and he creates a ton of bat speed from a very simple process. There is length in the zone with his bat and massive power potential in the lefty stick. This is easy middle-of-the-lineup projection with the bat. 
 
Chris Smith (2023, Bartlett, Tenn.) has arm talent that produces low-90s heat at its best. The life to the pitch allows him to attack and win with it. The off-speed is coming along and as it does the overall package will be special. 
 
Isaiah Mack (2023, Cornelius, N.C.) has a massive frame with huge strength. The right-handed bat has lethal power potential. Right now though, he sticks to his inside path and all-fields approach that create hard line drives to the middle of the field. When extended it is special type pop. 
 


Isaiah Drake (2023, Atlanta, Ga.) combines tremendous athleticism with good polish in the left-handed batters box. The Georgia native crushes line drives to all fields and can easily change a game with his wheels and instincts on the bases. He also has athletic bloodlines that aid the future projection and he is young for the class. 
 
Pierce Boles (2023, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) has a 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with a ton of pure arm speed that produces low-90s heat. Boles' slider is a power pitch and the changeup shows plenty of upside. It will be fun to watch him when he starts to have longer stints on the bump. There is quality upside here. 
 
Hunter Baynes (2023, Bradenton, Fla.) has a live 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame and the righty has a loose and easy arm stroke that fires low-90s fastballs. The CB/CU combination continue to show big strides and when put together is a starter profile. 
 
Amari Allen (2023, Washington, D.C.) has some two-way potential with his power left-handed arm on the mound and big power with his left-handed bat. Allen plays his sharp slider well off his lively fastball that has been up to 91. He can add and subtract with the heater and mix the 4/2-seam fastballs effectively. 
 
Nathanael Coupet (2023, Boynton Beach, Fla.) has a very heavy barrel and tons of pull-side carry off the bat. It’s a smooth stroke with good barrel awareness and the intent is real. He is very aggressive and stays in attack mode. The bat is the obvious big tool. 
 


Alex Karst (2023, Smyrna, Ga.) is an interesting prospect. At 6-foot-7, 215 pounds, he is a bit of a unicorn given his potential on the mound and at the plate. The plane on the fastball and heaviness to the pitch cannot be ignored. But the right-handed power is majestic when he is sync’d up and on time. The overall package is ready to be molded at the next level. 
 
Adison Worthman (2023, Bloomington, Ill.) has an explosive look at first appearance. Then you see him unleash the right-handed swing and realize the bat speed is electric. The power can rival anyone in the class and the streaks he puts together are downright impressive at times.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers.

Steve Fiorindo

Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger.

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...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...
