-John McAdams



Luke Labbe (2026, Saint Johns, Fla.), a 5-foot-8, 135-pound catcher, showed good barrel awareness in the box with a 2-for-5 day at the plate for 14U Team Florida. He finished with two doubles and three runs batted in and a run scored. Behind the plate, Labbe displayed solid defensive schools with the ability to pocket the baseball and block every pitch in the dirt from a traditional stance. The young backstop showed that catchers can still receive well and block and throw from the same position that has been taught for the last 130 years while working under the baseball. 


Kooper Benoit (2026, Groves, Texas) threw a gem for Team Texas in relief as the 6-foot, 197-pound right-handed pitcher got the win. With Texas losing 3-0 to Team Iowa, Benoit started the bottom of the third inning and threw five no-hit innings as Texas came from behind for a 6-3 victory. He finished with nine strikeouts and allowed only one walk with a fastball up to 82 mph and mixed a curveball in the 65-70 mph range to keep Iowa the hitters off balance at the plate. Great performance from Benoit as Texas looks to advance in the 14U bracket.  


Beau Peterson (2026, Shawnee, Kan.), a 6-foot-1, 180-pound left-handed hitter, was 2-for-5 at the plate with two singles for Team Midwest as they finished 0-1-1 in two games on day one of the 14U National All-State Select Championship. Peterson, a right-handed thrower, played third base in game one and pitched two innings in game two and ran the fastball up to 80 mph. The Nebraska commit showed arm strength across the diamond which translated to the bump with a tight-breaking slider in the 68-70 mph range as a secondary offering. Talented two-way player that moves around the field with a big left-handed bat. 


Gage Petrutz (2026, Mantua, N.J.), a 5-foot-7, 145-pound right-handed hitter, went 4-for-5 at the plate for Team Northeast over two games on day one of the tournament. Petrutz showed barrel awareness in the box with two triples and two singles while spraying the ball all over the field. He also scored three runs with aggressive baserunning as Team Northeast looks to break into the win column on day two. 


Jael Castillo (2026, Wake Forest, N.C.), a long and lean left-handed pitcher that looks bigger than his listed size, showed a clean arm action on the mound and repeatable delivery. Pitching in the 13U bracket for Team Coastal, Castillo struck out seven in three scoreless innings. Fastball up to 74 mph with a breaking ball in the 61-63 mph range with late break from a projectable frame and solid mechanics. 
 
-Jason Phillips
Colton Haire (2026, Apex, N.C) turned in an excellent day at that plate as he went 3-for-3 and drove in four runs during Coastal’s rout in their first game Saturday afternoon. At the plate, the switch-hitting Haire deploys a simple approach with a narrow setup from both sides, before turning it loose with hand-eye coordination, feel for the barrel, and torque to drive hard contact to all fields. A good athlete, Haire, is already a highly-ranked shortstop in the class, and displayed why today, regularly showcasing first step quickness, feel for the leather, and a strong, accurate arm across the diamond.
 

Corwin Allard (2026, Ladera Ranch, Calif.) hit himself up the top performers list Saturday after a hot start to the weekend, as he collected a hit in both games of California’s doubleheader, ending with a 2-for-6 day from the three-hole in the lineup. At the plate, Allard uses his 6-foot-1 frame to his advantage, staying tall in the box as he tracks pitches to the plate. Allard swings hard and generates excellent torque, along with his advanced barrel control that allows him to spray hard hit contact to all fields. Allard capitalized with runners on base all afternoon, tallying five RBI through the two games. A sound defender, Allard makes for a big target at first, and has demonstrated feel for the leather with ability to make all plays around the bag.
 

Christopher Moore (2026, Covington, Wash.) quickly displayed why he is ranked as the top prospect in his home state as he performed well in all phases Saturday at East Cobb. A highly-ranked shortstop, Moore has clean actions in the infield with feel for the glove and a strong accurate arm across the diamond that produces throws with carry through the bag. At the plate, Moore starts with an open stance, and steps to square for timing as his head stays still, tracking pitches towards the plate. Moore’s level-to-high bat plane displays good speed as he displays the ability to connect with pitches out front with good extension. Moore also pitched three innings for his club where he did not allow a hit, collected a strikeout, and mixed his three-pitch repertoire for strikes. Moore’s best pitches were a fastball he ran up to 81 mph, and a curveball with depth and bottom in the 60s.
 

Mills Carrillo (2026, Wesley Chapel, Fla.) is a 5-foot-11, 151-pound, highly-ranked right-handed pitcher in the 2026 class, as well as a top-10 prospect in his home state. Carrillo proved why he’s been receiving high praise from our scouts today as he performed well in all phases, driving in a run, and scoring twice offensively, while also working 2 2/3 innings of one-hit baseball where he struck out two and walked none. On the mound, Carrillo works with fluid mechanics, and showcased a fastball sitting in the low-80s, high of 83 mph, and a curveball with feel and depth in the low-70s. Carrillo has advanced feel of his repertoire on the mound, and filled the zone 70% of the time with his mix, an impressive feat for such a young arm.

Sammy Kane (2026, Carmichael, Calif.) is ranked as a top-30 shortstop in his graduating class and showcased why as he drove in three runs at the dish, scored a run, and walked during his first game of the afternoon. At the plate, Kane, a right-handed hitter, starts square with a large step for timing. Kane does a nice job keeping his hands and weight loaded on his backside as he tracks pitches to the plate. When he gets a pitch he can handle, Sammy has the ability to shoot his hips and hands through the zone, leading to loud, barreled contact, mostly to the pull side. On the mound, Kane earned the start for California today, during their tournament opener and worked into the fifth, piling up eight strikeouts, allowing just three hits and no earned runs over that span. To work through his assignment, Kane deployed a repertoire of a fastball up to 83 mph with some run down in the zone, and a curveball in the mid- to upper-60s, with depth, feel, and the ability to locate it in the zone repeatedly for strikes.
 

Jack Portman (2025, Kinnelon, N.J.) is a tall and strong 5-foot-10, 162-pound right-handed pitcher and utility ballplayer who performed well in all phases today at East Cobb. Portman’s bat would be the big story as he hit himself into 10th on the daily top performer list, leaving the yard via a home run in his first game of the day, while driving in two runs. At the plate, Portman displays plenty of twitch in the box, as he stays loose with good actions, and a good combination of bat speed and barrel control which leads to plenty of loft and carry on his hard hit results. Jack would also appear on the mound in a relief appearance, pitching two innings, recording a strikeout, and mixing his two-pitch repertoire for strikes, consisting of a fastball up to 75 mph, and a curveball in the upper-60s.


Josh Murray (2025, Middleburg, Fla.) is an uber-athletic outfielder and right-handed pitcher who stands at 5-foot-7, 140 pounds. Already a highly-ranked outfielder in the class, Murray reached base in each game of his club’s doubleheader Saturday, as he also scored a run, drove in a run, and stole a base in each game as well. Speed is a definite carry tool for Josh as he can be seen garnering nice first-step quickness, clean jumps, and underway speed on the bases. At the plate, Murray displays a table-setter type approach, and capitalizes time and again with good rhythm and timing, and a quick, direct swing path through the zone that meets pitches out front with nice extension.

Miguel Sime (2025, Queens Village, N.Y.) is a highly-ranked prospect in his home state and a highly-ranked right-handed pitcher in the class, and proved why, turning in the highest fastball velocity reading of the day at 86 mph. Miguel got the call to the mound this afternoon for one batter in which he capitalized on his assignment and ended the at-bat in a strikeout. Using only fastballs, Sime pounded the strike zone, proving too much for his opponent to handle. Since Sime used only six pitches on Saturday, we will be able to see him again tomorrow on the mound for the Northeast club.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt. He showed out on both sides of the ball this past weekend, really getting it done at the plate. He finished the weekend 7-for-15, with a double and 4 RBI to...

UBC Midwest X Atlantic Notes: Part 1 ‘27 RHP Alexander Kakach (MN) displayed present arm strength and some feel to spin. The #Creighton commit was up to 93 mph with the FB (89-93), while the SL showed two plane break at 79-84 mph. Mixed in CT at 84-86 with tight action in the zone. #UBCMW @MNIcemen @PG_WiscMinn pic.twitter.com/TlrOnNDIcd — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) July 18, 2026 Alexander Kakach (2027, Plymouth, Minn.) of MN Icemen 17U Gominsky displayed intriguing upside on the mound, striking out five over 4.0 innings while running the fastball up to 93 mph with ride. The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander and Creighton commit paired the fastball with a low-80s slider that flashed two-plane break and a cutter that played well off the mix. Kakach worked with a loose, quick arm from a high three-quarter slot, creating quality movement across his mix while displaying...

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Easton Vandyke (’27 RHP, RISE 2027/2028, VA) opened Day 4 by running his fastball up to 84 mph, showing consistent strike-throwing ability throughout the outing. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound right-hander paired the fastball with a low-70s curveball and a 75 mph changeup that he consistently kept at the bottom of the zone. Vandyke worked with a quick, whippy arm action, getting down the mound efficiently while filling up the strike zone with all three pitches. ’27 P Daniel McDevitt, the No. 91 shortstop in Florida and No. 531 overall in the state, has been dominant through four innings, working in the low-to-mid 80s with a quality two-pitch offspeed mix that shows consistent depth.

On top of going the distance he allowed only three base runners and one hit. Osmanski has lots of athleticism in his delivery.
