WWBA Underclass Uncommitted: Part 1

Jered Goodwin

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.

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 James Watson (2030, Canton, Ga.) showed the two-way upside to start bracket play for East Cobb Astros 15u. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went three innings and with three strikeouts and spread five hits and two walks for three runs. Watson works from a hybrid windup from the middle-of-the-rubber into a small heel-turn and an around-the-belt leg lift before using drop-and-drive back leg mechanics into a longer, in-line stride down the mound. Showed some feel to get extension down the mound. The hands separate into a moderate arm action before accelerating through from an over-the-top arm angle. The fastball ran up to 86 with arm-side run and life. Paired it with a curveball with 11-5 shape and solid two-plane break. Mixed in a change-up in the upper- 70s with some vertical depth. Competed at the top of the zone well. Athletic...

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 Carson Garzaniti (2029, Jupiter, Fla.) showed the barrel feel all game for West Boynton Cobras. The right-handed hitter starts from a spread stance with his weight shifted forward and in-line feet with a high handset and an even back elbow, utilizes a heel lift weight transfer trigger. Creates some separation in the back shoulder and uncoils the lower half with a short, direct hand path and extension out front from a slightly uphill bat plane. Good bat speed in the swing with some feel to impact. The catcher has shown the barrel accuracy all event with three hits, including a double and triple, to drive in four RBI and has come around to score five runs. Lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame with feel to generate power working ground up from the back leg. Exciting player that has been swinging a hot stick through pool play.  ...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 ‘27 C Joshua Digulio (TX) opened the morning in Cacti Park with a bang. In his first at-bat of the morning, Digulio crushed an 0-2 fastball. The right-handed hitter powered a fly-ball through the Florida morning humidity off the back wall of the left field bullpen for a no-doubt solo shot. Everybody in the stadium knew it was gone as soon as he made contact. The catcher also worked a walk in his only other plate appearance. His home run was the only hit in the game, providing Texas Brigade 2027 a 1-0 win.  ‘27 MIF Xavier Martin (IL) woke up the stadium with an electric swing. The right-handed hitter was sitting dead-red on a 2-0 heater, got it, and torched it. Martin scorched a line drive all the way over the left field bullpen, as the ball cleared a near 20-foot wall and bounced onto the concourse. It was a two-run shot for the...
