2022 Scouting Stories: 13u

With the 2022 calendar year wrapping up, our staff took some time to write about some things that stood out to the over the course of the national circuit, breaking it down into 5 categories which we'll go into further detail below. Today we look at the 13u age group as 5 of our scouts go into a story telling mode as opposed to our typical scouting narrative and reflect on some of the more memorable moments they saw in 2022. 

Best Game I Saw
This category is pretty self explanatory with its title as the staff looks back at the single best tournament game they saw on the circuit. 

During the 2022 13u BCS National Championship this summer down in Fort Myers, Fla., there was quite a contest during bracket play. Canes SC 13u - Reames took on Kangaroo Court Roos National in the semi-finals. It was one of those games that you knew was going to be good from the start. While the Canes team took home the victory, the KC Roos did not go down without a fight. It was a pitcher’s duel to start, with each side throwing three scoreless innings to start. The KC Roos struck first in the bottom of the fourth inning after three back-to-back-to-back singles from Jordan Olivia (2027, Tampa, Fla.), Jacob Henderson (2027, Odessa, Fla.), and J.D. James (2027, Sarasota, Fla.) drove in the first run. Anthony Tenuto (2027, Estero, Fla.) drove in another run with a two-out RBI Single.

After six scoreless innings from the KC Roos pitching staff, Canes SC 13u - Reames was able to scratch across two runs and tie things up in the top of the seventh. Daniel Thor Schenk (2027, N. Charleston, S.C.) jumped on a first-pitch double to get the rally going. Following a walk, it was leadoff hitter Trip Ostergard (2027, Charleston, S.C.) who picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly. Taj Marchand (2026, Charleston, S.C.) helped drive in the other run later in the inning with a hard grounder to third, allowing Banks Addison (2027, Germantown, Tenn.) to score.



With the game being tied 2-2 after seven, it called for extra innings. With Perfect Game rules, the bases are loaded. Both teams traded blows with some really good at-bats, but it was not until the tenth inning that things were capped off. The Canes were able to score two runs in the top of the tenth inning. Daniel Thor Schenk got it done again, this time with a grounder in the hole between third and short that drove in one. Banks Addison drove in the second run on a sacrifice fly deep to right field. Things went to the bottom of the tenth with the Roos looking to even things up, but they were unable to cut the two-run deficit. A walk drove in one run, but the Canes team took care of business and elevated themselves to the 2022 13u BCS National Championship.

Also worth noting, each team’s pitchers combined for a really strong game. For the KC Roos, Jacob Henderson, who helped add his own run support, also delivered five innings, limiting the opposition to just 3 hits while punching out 6 opposing hitters with just 1 walk. After Henderson, the team brought in their go-to arm, Samir Mohammed (2027, Trinity, Fla.), who delivered 4 and 2/3 innings of work. Even though he allowed the winning run, he was able to work up to 81 mph and challenge the Canes tough lineup, who hit well all tournament long.

On the flip side, Canes SC 13u- Reames was able to get 4 innings out of Easton Brown (2026, Aynor, S.C.), who kept them in the game for the extent of his outing. He throws from a lower slot and was deceptive with a fastball/slider combination that challenged the KC Roos hitters. After Brown’s four innings, Davis Ruff (2027, Little Mountain, S.C.) took the ball. He pitched 5.2 innings of work and punched out 2 opposing hitters while holding the opposition scoreless. It was a great game all around from both teams, one that came to mind immediately when piecing this article together.

-Tyler Kotila

It was a clash between two stellar teams during the WWBA 14u World Championship. ZT Prospects National bested Canes National 14u 13-6, but the final box score doesn’t do any justice to how hard both teams played down to the final out. Both squads were filled with top-of-the-class talent and rolled their way into the championship game, and it was a joy to watch it all come down to see who would come out on top.
 
-Isaiah Burrows


Best Tournament Performance I Saw
Within any given tournament, there may be a breakout performer or a top-of-the-class talent who cements themself at top with their showing, all of which will be told of here. 

Another outstanding overall tournament performance I had the opportunity to see was Pablo Martinez’s at this past November’s National All-State Select Championships, as the 2027 Texas native took home MVP honors after hitting .533 over the course of the event. His physicality certainly stands out as he drove a slider off the scoreboard at East Cobb to rightfield for a homer, while collecting four doubles as well. He drove in eight, scored nine runs and oh yeah ran it up to 84 mph on the bump. Martinez’s immense performance and overall two-way skill set certainly speak volumes of the amount of talent on display at this year’s event.

-John McAdams

For the most part, the 13u WWBA World Championship is the first major wood bat tournament for many of the players in attendance, and despite the fact that the games are played on minor league fields, two-time Select Festival alum Jorvorskie Lane still managed to let his bat do some serious talking. A strongly built 5-foot-9, 173-pound versatile defender who has already run a 6.87, Lane’s right-handed swing is as fast as it is powerful and over the week-long event he slashed an impressive .455/.556/1.465. The reason for mentioning both the wood bat aspect and field dimensions in the opening is due to the fact that Lane twice (!) left the yard, both times in the playoffs, and also enjoyed a four-hit game to open the event, cementing his name amongst the top performers in West Palm.  

-Jheremy Brown

While the National All-State Games are a bit of a tournament/showcase hybrid, it’s clear that regardless, the duo of Tyson McFarlin and Nomar Torres were ridiculously good there. We’ve come to know the both of them as players now and McFarlin has quickly become one of my favorites in the country of this group. He’s a true spark plug with energy and elite athleticism which gives him the versatility to get it done all over the diamond while there’s real feel to hit and he quite simply flies on the basepaths. Torres is a bit more physical of a prospect already and his innate feel to hit paired with the bat speed and strength makes him easily one of the more intriguing power bats at this age. Torres closed the event on fire with the bulk of his 8 hits in the playoffs, while McFarlin was on base a ton, swiped double digit bags and scored 12 times.
 
-Tyler Russo


Carter Hadnot led the way for ZT Prospects National and was stellar the entire week of Worlds. He’s an advanced athlete up the middle with a real handle for the barrel from both sides. Hadnot hit .471 over the week with five doubles and drew eight walks to just three strikeouts. His innate hand-eye coordination and plate discipline at this age really stood out. He’s garnered well-deserved recognition as one of the best talents in the class.
 
-Isaiah Burrows

Circling back to the 2022 13u BCS National Championship mentioned above, there was a lot to like from Hudson Sapp (2027, Newberry, Fla.) on both sides of the ball. He was able to perform exceptionally well for his team, which helped power them to the semi-finals game talked about above. Sapp’s performance on the mound earned him the top score of 135.00 on the Top Performers - Pitchers leaderboard. Sapp pitched in two games, totaling 8 innings of work. He did not allow a run and was able to tally 10 total punchouts. He held the opposition to 3 hits and walked just 2 hitters. Sapp worked the mid-70s on his fastball and mixed in a curveball & changeup to keep hitters off-balance.
 
It was not just his pitching. But Sapp also was able to get it done offensively for the KC Roos. Sapp hit .400 on the weekend with 3 RBI. He picked up 6 stolen bases, making smart decisions on the base paths. He’s a right-handed hitter with a wider base who showed off good bat-to-ball skills, being able to get the job done and pick up base hits to help get the offense going. It was a solid performance overall for Sapp, one that stuck out to me.

The 2022 13u BCS National Championship was stacked with a ton of exciting talent, which made it hard to really just pick one player. That’s why I wanted to include Evan Stramanak (2027, Coconut Creek, Fla.) in this section as well. He put together quite the week to help ZT Elite Florida 13U capture the championship trophy. The left-handed hitting catcher has some strength in the frame, and he was able to show that off during his at-bats throughout the week. Over nine games played, Stramanak was 15-for-25 with a .600 average and .655 on-base percentage. He managed 3 doubles and added 14 RBI to his credit as well. He was 2-for-3 in the championship game with 2 RBI to help his team close out the championship. His performance ultimately helped him earn the Most Valuable Player award for the weekend. Stramanak was also named to the All-Tournament team for his exceptional performance.

-Tyler Kotila

Favorite Single Game Moment
This is one of the those "wait, what did I just see" type moments where you have to almost confirm with yourself as to what just happened in front of you. 


Dexter McCleon’s lead-off homer at The National All-State Select Championships is another moment that sticks out as did I just really see that? The quick-twitch, explosive 2027 Georgia native got things rolling with a leadoff No-Doubt home run that ended pin-balling its way off a few trees deep over the left field fence at East Cobb. McCleon’s ability to generate the type of present bat speed and display of strength is unreal to watch in-person. He followed that up by bumping 87 mph on the mound and homering again to finish off his exciting 2022 Season.

-John McAdams

It’s hard to get overly excited about things when temperatures are in the 30s/40s outside, but what Landon Green was able to do in his opening inning of work at the 14u National All-State Games, in that cold of temperatures, was ridiculously impressive. He’s only a few months into being 14-years old and was SITTING 89-90, with multiple 91s, and just simply overwhelmed all three opposing hitters. He’s got a pretty deceptive changeup and there’s also some emerging feel to spin but dominating the zone with that velocity in that situation is really hard to forget.
 
-Tyler Russo

J'Qwan Crosby (2026, Ladson, S.C.) was an absolute stud during the 2022 13u BCS tournament this summer. While his team ended up falling in the finals, he was able to showcase some serious bat speed and strength throughout the tournament. He continued to get the job done, being the power bat and clutch bat as needed. With a 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame, Crosby was able to use some serious strength to handle at-bats well and prove to be effective. He was even crowned Co-MVP of the tournament for his exceptional performance. Overall, Crosby hit .500 with eight doubles and two triples and 11 RBI in total. He managed a 1.568 OPS on the week. However, in the Gold Quarterfinals game, Crosby really took things to the next level. He was 3-for-4 on the game. He had already had several eye-catching swings and well-struck balls, but he helped his team to a 4-to-3 victory to keep moving along in the Gold Bracket. Crosby had two doubles, including one that ended up bouncing off the wall. He also drove in two runs, helping manufacture some offense for his team to keep them ahead. It was impressive to see Crosby continue to put together solid at-bats.
 
-Tyler Kotila

I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say two of the best, if not the best, plays I saw in 2022 happened in the same game, by the same team, on national television during the 13u Select Festival. Shortstop Ricky Lopez, now an LSU commit, immediately showed us why he was tabbed the Defensive Player of the Year just the night prior with an incredible play in the first inning which saw him go fully extended with his dive into the 6-hole, spring to his feet and deliver a strike across the diamond showing the sheer athleticism and defensive acumen you simply don’t find at 13 years old. Jump to later in the game and outfielder Caden Dawson did his best impression of an NFL wideout as he immediately broke back on the ball and without ever breaking stride or eye contact on it, tracked the fly ball off the bat to the warning track where he reached out for an unbelievable over-the-shoulder catch prior to crashing into the wall. That display of concentration and pure athleticism put an exclamation point on a game that featured plenty of next level type defensive plays. 

-Jheremy Brown


Maddux Lessard’s homer at Worlds didn’t just sneak past the left-center field fence, it cleared it a good bit and was awfully impressive for the age. He’s got a loose, leveraged stroke with a ton of projectable power in store. To homer in one of the biggest parts of the tournament and be the only player the entire week to do it says a lot. Lessard a physical product with catch-and-throw skills behind the dish and has a ton to work with offensively.
 
-Isaiah Burrows


Biggest Showcase Breakout Performer
The PG Showcase schedule spans from coast to coast and each one serves as a spring board for prospects across the country. Here, our staff will look back on some of the players who made a name for themselves in regard to their next level of play. 

Joshua Priest wasn’t necessarily a stranger to us given the impact he made on an extensive circuit in the summer, but it really only took one swing on the final day of the 13u National to know that there was something real here. He’s a fairly physical right-handed hitting outfielder already with big strength and bat speed in the offensive profile, which is what showed up in a monstrous long home-run to the pull side in game action at the showcase, while the other components, like the athleticism and arm strength, allow him to fit at a numbers of positions.
 
-Tyler Russo

While up in the Pacific Northwest for the 13/14u Northwest Prospect Showcase, I saw a couple of young players who really have exciting futures ahead. Keagan Soliza (2027, Puyallup, Wash.) is one of those players. He’s got a quick-twitch and athletic frame for his age, with room to keep adding strength as he grows and continues to fill out the frame. He was a primary catcher whose actions project to keep getting better and better. Soliza is athletic behind the plate, with a quick arm that leads to a smooth release. He kept throws on target during the defensive portion of the Showcase workout. He uses a right-knee-down setup which caught my eye as someone who grew up a catcher. His quick catch-n-throw even nabbed a few runners during the games that weekend. But that’s not all, Soliza is a middle infielder who looked the part. He had good intent and moved well. I remember him making a back-handed stab in the hole and making a good throw to get a runner in-game that was quite impressive.

If the defense was not enough to catch your eye, Soliza is a switch hitter. From the left side, his feet are open to start with a low back elbow to set up. It was a smooth and easy stroke through the zone with good intent. He was controlled and worked to produce good contact and match planes as he worked through the zone. From the right side, it was a similar setup, but there was some more strength showing. He was able to meet the ball out front and on plane to drive it for good contact. Soliza was 4-for-6 on the weekend with two doubles to his credit quite impressive.
 
-Tyler Kotila

Connor "Goose" Zuehlsdorff was an immediate standout at the 13u/14u Northern California Prospect Showcase. He ran it up to 81 mph with late running life and showed a real intentful arm across in his infield drills. He followed it up in game with consistent loud contact up the middle along with his outing on the hill. Zuehlsdorff has a lot to work with on both sides and can develop into a real talent.
 
-Isaiah Burrows
Listed as a primary shortstop and showing well through the early portions of the 13u National Showcase, Patrick Hassan jumped on the mound towards the very end of the event and quickly opened eyes with what he was able to produce on the mound. Having shown arm strength throughout the summer circuit with Team Elite, we knew we’d see some low-80s heaters from Hassan but he quickly raised the bar and solidified himself as one of the hardest throwers in the showcase with a fastball that peaked at 86 mph form a long and whippy arm action. His slider proved to be just as much an equalizer as he threw the offering in the mid-70s with maintained arm speed, generating late 10-4 shape with horizontal bite. 
 
-Jheremy Brown


Pick to Click
Players across the country are already committing to major programs and making a name for themselves. That said, some of the players below will look to further elevate their stock moving into next summer's circuit. 

The 2027s I saw over the course of the fall gave me a ton of names I feel comfortable putting in this category and among so many, there’s a handful that are easy to highlight. Max Hemenway, a shortstop out of Washington, jumped out at the National All-State Games with a pretty/loose left-handed stroke and the bat speed/barrel feel combination to project big things through any strength additions. Isaiah Posey is a young 6-foot-3, 165-pound righty who’s into the low-80s with a solid breaking ball already and almost threw a no-hitter at Worlds, Brayden Singleton is a similarly projectable left-hander with funk out of a straight downhill release and can bury a pretty real breaking ball already too and Gavin Knox has catapulted himself to one of the top arms in the class with a mid-80s fastball and hammer of a breaking ball in the 24-2500 RPMs.
 
-Tyler Russo

A native of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, right-hander Will Hayes shows a lot to like on the mound and as he continues to fill out his 6-foot-2 frame, it's only a matter of time before the velocity starts to take off. That said, Hayes is already working comfortably into the low-80s and has bumped 83 mph in our events but the breaking ball is what helps set him apart from some of his peers. Thrown in the upper-60s with hard spin and real conviction, the pitch shows tight spin through the zone with sharper 11-5 shape and comfort landing it for strikes. Keep an eye on this young arm as the summer circuit starts to unfold. 

-Jheremy Brown
Anderson Lambert (2027, Laurel, MD) is someone who could continue to rise up the rankings in the new year. Lambert, currently sits at 60th overall and holds the number one spot in the state of Maryland. He’s the number 11 ranked outfielder in the class. Even though Lambert is already near the top of the rankings, and has the top spot in the state, it seems that Lamber thas more in the tank. He’s a 5-foot-10, 155lb. Outfielder with quick-twitch actions. I’ve seen him run down balls in centerfield that I certainly did not think anyone was getting to. It was impressive to watch him read the ball off the bat and make the catches to secure outs. His bat continues to improve and it will be interesting to see how he is able to continue to define his approach and develop even further at the plate. He hit .441 with a .533 on-base percentage in 2022 in PG Events. His performance is impressive already, but I think he’s going to keep finding ways to impress. Keep an eye on Lambert in 2023 as he has a chance to keep putting things together in the batter’s box.
 
- Tyler Kotila


I’m going with Jake Sedmack who put on a serious barrel display in looks this year. The Fort Myers, Fla. native has advanced feel for the barrel from a short cut with solid strength behind it. He can also hop on the bump and show a promising fastball/slider mix with good tempo. Sedmack’s two-way ability should only improve and take strides as he physically matures.

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Brayden Powell

Bryce Urban (2027, Kaukauna, Wis.) An athletic 5-foot-9, 175-pound right-handed hitter, who handled the bat well throughout the weekend while showing feel for the barrel and quality bat speed. Stays balanced throughout the operation while showing direct hands to the baseball. There is feel to rotate through the zone and keep the barrel working for an extended period, helping him consistently produce hard-hit contact. He showed the ability to impact the baseball to all fields and remained productive throughout the event. Urban finished the weekend with five extra-base hits and continued to be a reliable offensive contributor whenever his club needed him. He is currently uncommitted.  Landon Clements (2027, McHenry, Ill.) University of Illinois-Chicago commit put together an outstanding weekend at the plate, finishing 10-for-15 while drawing five walks and consistently finding ways to...

Cape Cod League Notebook: August 3

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Angel Cervantes | RHP | UCLA | Chatham Anglers  Angel Cervantes has lived up to the hype since arriving at UCLA after turning down a second-round selection (50th overall) by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2025 MLB Draft. Following a strong freshman campaign that helped power the Bruins to the No. 1 ranking in the country for much of the season, Cervantes has taken another step forward this summer, emerging as arguably the Cape Cod League's top arm. Through 23.2 innings with the Chatham Anglers, he owns a 1.14 ERA with 24 strikeouts and just five walks. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound right-hander attacks hitters with a polished five-pitch mix featuring a low-90s fastball, an 86-88 mph cutter, a low-80s slider and changeup, and a 78-80 mph curveball. He pounds the strike zone, sequences his arsenal with advanced feel, and consistently keeps hitters off balance, giving him the profile of a...

16u South World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kai Anderson (2028, Missouri City, Texas) continued his breakout stretch over the past couple of weeks with 2028 South Texas Sliders 16U Pierce. Compiled a 7-15 week with two doubles, a triple, and two home runs, driving in nine runs. Parlayed that into winning Tournament MVP. Physical presence in the box that is starting to tap into a ton of juice offensively. Tight rotation on an uphill plane with loose actions in the barrel. Doing all of this with very little swing and miss while holding it down in center field. One of the louder stretches of the summer. Trent Costales (2028, San Antonio, Texas) was excellent this week for Texas Angels 2028 Libson. Went 4-11 with two doubles and a home run. Was one of the best run creators in the tournament, driving in ten. Extremely physical frame, projecting as a big time power bat. Coils the hips effectively and creates an uphill plane to maximize...

As of Monday at 5 p.m. ET, the 2026 MLB Draft is officially complete. The signing deadline has passed, meaning we now know every team’s finalized draft class and exactly how much each player signed for. Entering the draft, it was clear there was a distinct top tier consisting of Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson, and Vahn Lackey. That separation became even more evident once contracts were signed. Cholowsky became the first player in draft history to sign for more than $10 million, agreeing to a record-setting $10,347,500 bonus with the White Sox. Emerson set a new high school signing bonus record at $9,747,500, the second-largest bonus ever awarded to a draft pick.

SBA Sox Save Best for Last

Kinley Kitchens

Sometimes the best ending comes after a season of figuring things out. For SBG Sox American, the summer wasn’t always seamless. The team spent their early weeks learning where players fit best, building chemistry and searching for the combination that would allow them to play their best baseball.

East World Series Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Evan Brand (2027, Acworth, Ga.) has been solid at the plate all summer and did not slow down late in the summer. This week, Brand was able to hit just under the .700 mark and tallied three extra base hits, including a homer. The switch hitter has a fluid barrel path with plus feel for the barrel to all fields. The lower half also moves with some rhythm, and the switch hitting ability with the accuracy to the barrel provides plenty of intrigue. The middle infielder is committed to Georgia Tech. Atley Schwarzrock (‘27 GA) catches of all of the first pitch he sees launching it over the wall in left for a 2-run 💣 sending it with some heat; stays loose in his progressing ripping the barrel thru the zone with some strength behind it and staying tall on impact. #EastWS… pic.twitter.com/oGxbPQN1W0 — Perfect Game Georgia (@PG_Georgia) July 27, 2026 Atley Schwarzrock (2027,...
