Regional Review: Four Corners

Individual Standouts from the Region


Max Stanley (2023, Parker, Colo.) got a 3-inning start for the San Diego Show and was very good in the process, punching out 5 in those 3 frames, allowing no runs and scattering a single and a walk. Stanley has been written about a few times this year, and we continue to really buy the projection here. He’s a great mover with athleticism and flexibility in his delivery, really projecting well for huge velocity as he continues to fill out his wiry frame. His fastball peaked at 91 mph and sat in the 88-90 mph range with big cut at times, mixing a firm gyro slider in the low-80s along with a deeper curveball with 11/5 shape and a harder changeup as well. It’s a full mix with real ingredients, and the Texas A&M commit could be in line for a huge spring.
-2022 WWBA World Championships 
*Stanley has since committed to BYU from the time of this recap was posted
Getting the ball for the Ohio Warhawks in game one of pool play, Connor Mattison (2023, Goodyear, Ariz.) was electric. Across two perfect frames, he punched out five and completely dominated with his changeup. It featured huge dive at 76-77 with the consistency and feel for the unique pitch standing out in a big way. He threw the pitch 15 times, landing it for a strike 13 times and repeatedly garnered ugly swing-and-misses. Mattison worked in the low-90s with his heater, showing good life and run to it. The righty also flashed a sharp slider to close out his outing on a strikeout. The Grand Canyon commit has some very good stuff and he really knows how to sequence.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Easton Shelton (2023, Las Vegas, Nev.) has done nothing but hit all year long and that was no different on day two. The UNLV commit got things started with a loud RBI double to dead center field. A simple swing combines with a strong, XL frame to generate massive power that plays to all fields. Feel for the barrel allows that power to show up in-game regularly. It is a run-producing profile that just continues to perform no matter the stage.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
  

Steven Milam (2023, Las Cruces, N.M.), an LSU commit, stands on a solid, athletic 5-foot-8, 165-pound frame comparable to Jose Altuve (Houston Astros). Switch-hitter that only hit from the left side in this viewing. Contact-oriented approach mostly. Played shortstop today and made a couple nice plays including a game-ending play ranging to his left that he had to flip to second base for the force-out. Will be a future second baseman. This kid plays with his hair on fire and it's refreshing to watch. Possesses gap power presently, but could develop into over the fence eventually. 
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Chase Jaworsky (2023, Highlands Ranch, Colo.) was one of the driving forces behind a Slammers Baseball 2023 run to the round of 16. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound left-handed hitter collected three hits in two games with two of them being extra base hits. In the second game, he hit a loud homer that came screaming off the bat at 92 mph and a triple that just landed short of the fence. The Utah Valley commit has good barrel control with advanced bat speed and barrel whip through the zone. He has some projectable pop as he is still has a lean frame with a good amount of room to continue to add strength. Even with the lean frame, he showed big time jump off the barrel throughout the day, leading to one of the more memorable games of the tournament so far.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Gavin Hasche (2023, Parker, Colo.), a 6-foot-1, 150-pound right-handed pitcher, tossed four innings with no earned runs allowed in the 5-3 Slammers Baseball 2023 victory over the Midland Redskins. The Boston College commit finished with seven strikeouts and three hits on 62 pitches while controlling the zone at a 64% strike rate. He ran the fastball up to 88 mph from his low three-quarter arm slot delivery and dominated hitters with his sweeping slider in the 73-76 mph range that he used to both sides of the plate. Hasche mixed in a fading changeup at 78/79 mph to complete his three-pitch mix.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
  

Boston Kellner (2025, Colorado Springs, Colo.) has been solid in the batter's box, including a home run to left field. Kellner was able to use some strength and show off some pull-side juice. Sinks onto the back leg as he loads up and then gets through the zone with some speed and quickness, working uphill to produce solid contact on his swings. Kellner has hit .417 on the tournament with 2 doubles and a home run. Tallied 7 RBI for his team, finding ways to produce runs and helping his team manufacture scoring. He’s got a controlled presence in the batters’ box with the ability to get the hands back in the load and drive through the zone showing strength
-2022 WWBA Sophomore World Championships
Kamdyn Perry (2023, Las Vegas, Nev.), a St. Mary’s commit, is 6-foot-3, 190 pounds. Perry has ample room for growth physically. Exhibits a low three-quarter arm slot delivery. Two-pitch mix. Threw 75% sliders that missed bats all day. He had two versions at 73-79. Punched out 14 hitters in a 2-hit, 1-walk, complete game gem. Fastball sat 86-90, topping 91 and had it in his back pocket whenever he needed it. Impressive outing that the GBG Navy team desperately needed. Performance of the day.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Laif Palmer (2023, Golden, Colo.) came on in relief and showcased impressive stuff in a short look. The Oregon State commit pounded the zone with a quality fastball that sat 90-93 mph. Quick arm speed allows the ball to jump out of the hand and get on hitters quickly. The frame projects well for even more velocity down the line. The heater was paired with a sharp slider at 80-81 mph. Late tiling action allows the offering to generate whiffs. The present stuff and projectable make Palmer one of the more intriguing arms to come out of Colorado.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Dayton commit Marcus Romero (2023, Brighton, Colo.) was one of the driving forces for a USA Prime American offense on day one. Romero finished up the game going 2-for-3 with a double. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound outfielder finds the barrel very often which was apparent in the action and he also has more coming in the power department. The Colorado native showed good traits in center to go along with the bat and extremely athletic. All of the traits that you want to see in a center fielder. This kind of performance isn’t anything new to Romero as he’s hitting .392 this year in PG events with a .938 OPS. He looks to continue his hot streak into the weekend. This will be a fun player to follow in the coming years.
-2022 WWBA World Championships

Parker Jimenez (2025, Fort Collins, Colo.) had a great performance at the plate on Thursday, finding ways to get the job done. Jimenez uses a step and stride motion in the batters’ box to get on time with pitches. He rotates well through contact, getting the barrel out in front and driving it. He meets it out front and was able to drive it. He was able to control the barrel and cover the zone during his at-bats. The uncommitted first baseman registered two base knocks on the day.
-2022 WWBA Sophomore World Championships
Thomas Stewart (2025, Lakewood, Colo.) had a dominant outing on the mound for Slammers Holzemer, pitching deep into the game and missing plenty of bats. He sat mostly in the 86-88 range with his fastball, coming out clean with good plane through the zone. The pitch played well up in the zone and also paired well with his classic, big 12-6 curveball. The hook has the type of depth that makes it very difficult to square up. Stewart works from a smooth delivery and is an uber athletic mover down the mound. The righty’s athleticism and arm speed posits for plenty velocity projection.
-2022 WWBA Sophomore World Championships
Gio Rojas (2026, Lakewood, Colo.) may not have finished with the most appealing line but it’s more than appealing stuff and upside. He opened at 85-87, with a couple on the upper end, and it’s really easy working from an angled release and showing all kinds of looseness to dream big velocity on. There’s a bit of crossfire that can make the fastball tough across the zone and as he really starts to command it, it’ll be a weapon. What already is a weapon is the changeup that he can land as a bit of a get-me-over but when he throws it with big intent at 76, it’s got hard dive to the arm side that plays big off the fastball. There’s some budding feel to spin in the mix and it'll continue to develop but this is about as enticing of a projection profile as you’ll find here.
-2022 WWBA Freshman World Championships

Uncommitted Players who Shined
Currently ranked No. 147 in the country, outfielder Ethan Stipp (2026, Las Vegas, Nev.) will have his fair share of college recruiters reaching out real soon, if not already, as he can make an impact on either side of the ball. Athletically built at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Stipp posted a 6.70 in the 60-yard during the 14u National and every bit of that speed was needed on one particular fly ball against the FTB Phillies Scout Team, which had it touched grass, would have greatly altered the outcome of the game. With the bases loaded and two outs, in what ended up as a 2-1 final, Stipp immediately broke back and made a game saving grab on what looked like extra bases off the bat if not for the athleticism and quick-twitch possessed by the Las Vegas native. Offensively there’s quickness in his hands as he stays relatively short through the zone and grabbed a double to open up the championship game, thanks in large part to his speed as he hit a shallow flair out to center field but came out of the box hot and never broke stride, thinking two all the way. Throughout the event he swiped a total of 8 bases, including a pair of 3-steal games, only further highlighting his athleticism and speed.
-2022 WWBA Freshman World Championships
  

Wyatt Halvorson (2023, Scottsdale, Ariz.) is another interesting uncommitted arm that came out of the ‘pen to secure the 1-0 victory for Wow Factor National. The hulking 6-foot-3, 205-pound righty worked effortlessly in the upper-80s during his two innings of work and topped out at 91 mph in this look. He repeats well, generates easy life to the fastball and tunnels his two-pitch mix effectively. He mixed in a more traditional 12-6 curveball with hard downer action and depth to it for swings and misses. It’s a potentially devastating two-pitch mix with the ability to navigate both sides of the plate, while expanding up in the zone when necessary. Look for the uncommitted arm to find a home relatively soon, as he can sure up a recruiting class and possesses plenty of intrigue moving forward
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Ezekiel Rojas (2023, Lakewood, Colo.) had perhaps one of the best pitching outings of the day as he came in from the bullpen and plainly dominated the zone. He was able to sit around 87 mph with his fastball and topped out at 90 mph. His arm action is a bit long back but is very quick through release with an ease to it that makes it look faster. Rojas’ slider has some good action to it with a tilted shape and some late depth, measuring in with a spin rate of 2327 rpm. With his long, lean frame and build, Ezekiel will have room for added strength and growth and continue to be athletic wherever he is put on the field. With a final line score of 4 innings pitched, he yielded an unearned run on 1 hit, 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. 
-2022 WWBA World Championships
  

Jacob Fladebo (2026, Parker, Colo.) found a pair of nice barrels while displaying his usual advanced speed and athleticism in the class. Fladebo waited on two breakers and lined them down both the left and right field lines. Ability to stay on spin and kept his quick hands inside the ball well. Leveled swing that matches plane and finds solid contact. Disruptive on the base paths with 6.68 speed and real acceleration that reaches top gear with ease. That speed plays in center field, where Fladebo really shines. The routes and coverage out there is quite impressive and he trusts his legs to make plays. Fladebo is a very intriguing athletic profile with some development in the stick.
-2022 WWBA Freshman World Championships
Miller Durham (2023, Las Vegas, Nev.) had a big blast in the first inning, hitting a 94 EV home run deep to the pull side. Durham is a big, bruising left-handed hitter with big time strength off the barrel. He leverages well and does a good job at knowing his impact point to create backspin and carry off the barrel head. Durham, currently uncommitted, also added another hit late and has a lot of things to like out of a power hitting first base prospect.
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Caden Williamson (2025, Bloomfield, Colo.) had an incredible game on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with all three barrels being extra-base hits. He starts with a wider base and gets his hands back. He strides forward and is able to control the barrel and use some strength present in the swing. He matches planes with pitches and is able to work uphill to barrel it up and drive it. Williamson picked up two doubles and a triple on Thursday. He attacked the field pull-side and was able to get extended on one of the doubles to belt it down the line. The uncommitted center fielder had an impressive day at the plate on Thursday.

Teams Repping the Region
Slammers Baseball 2023 put together a strong showing in Jupiter, taking Pool D and capturing the No. 9 seed entering bracket play. They moved to 4-0 on the weekend with a walk off victory in the Round of 32 before falling in the round of 16. Carson Tinney and Ryder Robinson lead the way offensively, while a deep pitching staff posted a team ERA of 1.99 and struck out 43 hitters over 38 innings. 
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Trosky National 2023, playing out of Phoenix, entered Jupiter as the favorite in Pool M and did not disappoint. A deep roster took the pool with a couple tough fought victories on the way to a 2-0-1 record in pool play. Unfortunately the run ended with a loss in the Round of 32. It was a good run with a handful of arms throwing the ball well and the offense showing productive bats from top to bottom. 
-2022 WWBA World Championships
Slammer Holzemer cruised to the Pool U title with a dominant 3-0 record to start the Sophomore World Championships, entering bracket play as the No. 4 seed. Their run ended with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in the first round of bracket play, but it was a strong showing nonetheless. Thomas Stewart led the way both on the bump and at the plate, throwing five hitless innings and posting a .417 average.

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.

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.
