National Select Champ. Scout Notes

Seth Hernandez (2025, Chino, Calif.) was as advertised on the bump, as the No. 4 player in the class struck out 10 over five shutout innings with a real three-pitch mix. His frame continues to grow and the velocity matches. The fastball grabbed a 94 and lived mostly 89-92 mph with heavy life and carry up to 2400 RPMs. His low-80s changeup is as premium an offering in the class, mimicking arm speed with great depth and shape and simply falls off the table to lefties. It comes in over 2200 RPMs too and paired with a hammer slider-esque breaker upwards of 2700 RPMs. He mixes with ease and the fastball played up. He has some of the best arm talent in the class with considerable upside.  

Cooper Powell (2024, Bedford, Texas) showed plenty of upside in his outing. The DBU commit could be in store for a big spring and summer from the left side. The arm is free and easy, fastball lived high-80s and grabbed a pair at 90 mph. The slider is a real sweeper with traits and has makings of a real offering. He also flashed a pair of firm changeups in the low-80s. Combine all this from the left side from an ultra loose slot and there’s a lot to like going forward.  



Virginia Tech commit Luca Perriello (2024, Evans, Georgia) was a huge standout with the stick the entire week, collecting several barrels including two three-run homers to left. The stroke is simple and quick with a good bit of bat speed and a strong set of hands that produce some carry. He worked counts and took several quality at-bats. Perriello is a versatile athlete who can play all over the dirt and brings a lot to like at the plate. Also ran it up to 91 mph on the hill to close it out.  

Jason Flores (2024, Wylie, Tesas) stood out in a big way on the hill. The Texas State commit ran it up 93 mph with hard sink and arm-side run upwards of 2300 RPMs. He can tunnel a hard biting slider in the high-70s with some two-plane depth and tail as another high spin offering upwards of 2600 RPMs. The arm talent is more than evident and as he adds a third pitch can really tap into his upside.  

Braxton Barber (2026, Dallas, Texas) was downright impressive with the stick throughout the entire week. The TCU commit has an advanced hit tool from the left side with great barrel control. There’s some whip to the hands and ability to manipulate it to all fields. He sprayed the oppo gap well before going big fly on a lefty-lefty matchup. He’s a solid athlete with good reads in center field, and the bat makes him awfully enticing at the next level.   


Jordan Garza (2026, Corpus Christi, Texas) tossed a perfect game over seven innings with an outstanding 14 strikeouts. He had it all working from a potent mix. The fastball topped 87 and lived mid-80s with some arm-side life. He can spin a good slider with plenty of intent and action to it. He missed bats at will and also showed out with the stick producing solid contact throughout the week. One of the best performances you can ask for.   


Miller Sheets (2026, Monroe, La.) is an awfully enticing left-handed to stick to dream upon. He creates lots of length with present bat speed and lift to his path, as was on display with his long ball to right field. He swung it well all week and pieced together several loud barrels. He’s a lanky corner, the strength is more than present and should only continue to project. Keep a close eye on Sheets as he matures.  

Blaine Brown (2024, Pearland, Texas) showed well on the bump and more than held his own. The uncommitted southpaw is a solid athlete with a pretty polished mix. His fastball ran up to 89-90 mph and lived there with good arm-side run. His breaker is a sharper offering too with a bit of slurvy depth and late bite. Both offerings are higher spin at over 2250 RPMs and he mixed tempos awfully well. Also flashed a promising changeup. At this point in the class, Brown is a lefty to grab quickly.  

Andrew Petrock (2026, Pelham, Ala.) was impressive on both sides and has the traits. He can pick it a good bit at short, looking the part with soft hands and clean transfers that stood out. His feet are in-sync and he’s pretty smooth up the middle. He has some hitterish traits to him with good handle for the barrel, gets good extension and lags the barrel well through the zone. He also pitched a gem and ran it up to 84 mph. He got it done in all facets.  

Dawson Hinson (2026, Friendswood, Texas) was another standout stick this week as he seemed to always be on the barrel, including a big fly on Day 1. There’ some real impact that plays to the pull side and there’s good athleticism all around. He held his own at shortstop and produced plenty of contact at the plate. Hinson’s traits should only develop as he matures and his overall feel and ability to lead a spark at the top of the order impressed.  

Connor Comeau (2026, Pflugerville, Texas) stood out in a multitude of ways over the week. His outing on the mound featured a potent two pitch mix, running it up to 86 mph from an ultra loose slot and late tailing slider in the low-70s. He capped his dominant week with a three-run homer to the pull side. He’s younger for the class with plenty of projection in store and is a real follow for the class.  

Cort Lowry (2024, Franklin, Texas) was stellar on the bump, over seven-plus innings with nine strikeouts. He has a loose arm action with a real three-pitch mix. Fastball topped 88 and lived there with some arm-side life. The slider gets over 2400 RPMs at 79-81 mph that was commanded well to both sides. His changeup continues to impress with late arm-side fade. The components are there to really build upon as an uncommitted arm.  

Chad Pantsuo (2024, San Antonio, Texas) took home MVP honors after his electric showing batting leadoff. He can turn the barrel over well with quick hands and a short turn in space. Pantsuo really sets a table and can reach top gear on the paths too. He showed well with the glove at second and was awfully impressive in several facets.  

Chase Pearrow (2026, Waxahachie, Texas) earned MVP honors for the 15u side of the tournament. He hit one of the furthest balls of the week, a towering shot to the trees in the quarterfinals as a huge momentum shifter. The traits are evident at the dish with some enticing hand speed and a full rotation through contact. He really gets into it with intent and offers a good bit of athleticism defensively. 

Nick Cucchi (2024, Tampa, Florida) showed the wide array of tools throughout the week. He’s an above-average runner in center with loads of now bat speed and strength at the plate. The uncommitted center fielder nearly left the yard on a long double to the pull-side gap as just one of his highlight barrels. The twitch and speed really play.  He checks a good amount of boxes and the twitch, athleticism are hard to find at this stage. Big uncommitted name to grab for the class.  

Cameron Johnson (2024, Waco, Texas) tossed a complete game shutout with 12 strikeouts in a dominant outing. The uncommitted right-hander had it all working. It’s a pretty potent fastball/curveball combo with good depth and shape to the 11-5 breaker. He fills the zone with good intent and trusts it. There is plenty of length left in the frame to build upon too, name to watch closely.  

Kai Bratton (2026, Westminster Calif.) showed a lot to like on the hill. He ran it up to 84 mph and held it, but the slider is a real advanced offering. It has some tight shape and later bite upwards of 2600 RPMs and spun with plenty of intent. It was awfully effective tailing against righties and he spun it with confidence. It’s a quick, athletic arm who checks a good amount of boxes.  

Hawk Bowers (2024, Denton, Texas) went big fly deep into the trees Day 1 and really showed out the entire week. He has a loose athletic stroke from the right side with some good whip to the barrel. He’s a lankier, long build with plenty more to tap into at this stage too. He can handle a corner spot defensively with some upside in the stick, as well. Solid uncommitted name here.  

Anthony Del Angel (2026, Rio Rancho, N.M.) oozes upside and showed why over the week. The Oklahoma commit screams physical projection, and his lanky 6-foot-3 frame should fill out as he matures. The hands are electric with plenty of whip and bat speed that jumps off the page at points. His drift and overall posture can be improved to help his front foot develop more consistent timing, but the impact is different off the barrel at this age and should really come to form a few years down the road. The profile has the upside of an athletic defender on the left side with serious thunder at the plate. Very enticing.  

Zeke Seoane (2024, Fort Worth, Texas) was the loudest performer during playoffs for the 17u bracket as he lived on the barrel to the pull side. The Louisiana-Monroe commit sent one deep to right and peppered the right-center gap twice with ease. He’s a real physical switch hitter with some immense strength to the hands that play to pull. He can whip it with intent and the impact is loud. Seoane offers some defensive versatility as well, and fits a multitude of spots while his bat can play anywhere in the lineup. He continues to impress this summer.

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 2
AJ Denny
Article Image
14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1 Nicholas Gollatz (2031, Avondale, Pa.) of Team Northeast continued to put together quality at-bats on Day 2, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, a walk, and two stolen bases across two games. The right-handed hitter has been an on-base machine throughout the tournament, showing a mature approach with solid bat-to-ball skills and the ability to use the entire field. Gollatz rarely chases outside the zone and has been a consistent presence in the Northeast lineup as the team advances to bracket play. Here’s another look at ’31 OF Julian Diaz (OH), barreling this pitch for a double. Displays good balance in the box with a quick bat. #NatAllState @PG_OhioValley https://t.co/Bal1YW2aB7 — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) November 8, 2026 Like his teammate, Julian Diaz (2031, Toronto, Ohio) of Team Northeast, also had a productive Day 2.

2027 MLB Draft Reports: 1-100

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 MLB Draft Board: Top 200 1. Dylan Seward | SS | Norco | S-R | Eastvale, CA | Commitment: Tennessee Seward is a lean, athletic infielder with loud tools throughout the profile. The California prep is a switch-hitter with lightning quick hands. He has shown quality in-game power from both sides of the ball, despite a smaller build. There have been swing and miss issues with fastballs at times. Seward is a top of the class, 80-grade runner with the ability to steal bags often. He is a plus defender at shortstop with twitchy and fluidity. 2. Brendan Lawson | SS | Florida | L-R | Toronto, ON Lawson is a strong 6-foot-3, 215-pound infielder with massive offensive upside with a consistent track record. The left-handed hitting shortstop possesses easy raw power that translates well in-game. There is a strong feel to hit to go with the impact. The approach can become overly patient at times,...

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo
Article Image
2031 C/OF Jace Winston (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) had a really nice day at the dish as he picked up a couple hits in his first game, both well-struck, and then launched a bomb in game 2. He’s one of the more physical players here who can really impact the baseball already, and the consistency in which he’s hitting this fall is a great sign going into 2027. 2031 SS/RHP Weston Stalls (Blackstock, S.C.) came in for a couple innings of relief on the day and showed off the arm talent running the fastball up to 87. It’s a fast arm and he generates real life to the fastball, while the breaking ball is a good pitch as well.   ‘31 SS Parker Smith (NC) went 3-for-3 to open the weekend, this a line drive single the other way. 6’2/140 & can accelerate the barrel already, intriguing projection. #NatAllState @PG_Coastal https://t.co/Z7C5kDGdIM — Perfect Game...

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...
