15u World Series Scout Notes: Day 1 | Days 2-3 | Day 4





Taking the mound for 5 Star National 15u Black in their huge matchup against Canes National 15u was Luke Pappano (2025, Cincinnati, Ohio). The long, lean 6-foot-1, 165-pound LHP went the distance in impressive fashion, adding and subtracting as he moved the ball around the zone keeping his opponents off balance. Working from the third base side of the rubber, he gathers with an inward turn of the torso and loads into his back leg before working down the mound. His arm stroke is abbreviated, allowing him to get the arm up on time and load it very well at foot strike. He gets a lot of tilt as he works his arm through an over-the-top slot helping him create difficult angles for the hitter. His fastball stayed in the 82-86 mph range the entire outing and he used his 68-72 mph curveball to eliminate contact when necessary. Pappano exuded confidence on the mound, staking together a lot of quality pitches and his team rallied around him for the win. The Kentucky commit went 6 innings, scattering 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks while striking out 8 batters.
