13u/14u WWBA West Scout Notes: Day 1-2

Tyler Henninger
Joey Cohen

Jake Turner (2027, Las Vegas, NV) showcased loud two-way ability on day two. The TCU commit struck out ten hitters across 4 2/3 innings of work and produced an RBI double at the plate. On the mound, the fastball showed the ability to overwhelm hitters. Turner ran the offering up to 91 mph, sitting 85-88 mph most of the outing. Quality feel for a curveball at 67-69 mph was shown. Turner was not afraid to throw it early in counts and flashed the ability to put hitters away with it. The pitch mix should only continue to get better as the mechanics throughout the delivery are refined. It is a high ceiling on the mound with massive upside if it all clicks. The power potential at the plate is just as impressive. Quick hands create advanced bat speed through the zone. There is feel for the barrel present using a lofted path that gets the ball in the air regularly. The power plays to all fields and should only continue to develop as Turner’s tall, lanky frame fills out. It is yet to be seen if Turner winds up as an arm or bat, but loud tools on both sides of the ball make an intriguing case for both. 

Erick Jimenez (2027, Peoria, AZ) took the hill on day two and showed intriguing stuff despite shaky results. The righthander ran the fastball up to 83 mph, sitting 79-82 mph for most of the day. A downhill plane allows the offering to work well at the bottom of the zone. More velocity should continue to be added as a tall, slender frame fills out. Feel for a curveball at 64-67 mph was shown. Jimenez was not afraid to throw it early in counts and showed the ability to land it regularly. Continuing to refine the command should help take the profile to the next level, but there are intriguing components already present. 



Logan Mull (2027, San Jose, CA) has shown intriguing two-way potential across the first two days, including a quality start on the mound on day two. The righthander struck out five hitters across three innings of work. The fastball got up to 80 mph, sitting 77-79 mph for a majority of the outing. The offering showed the ability to generate whiffs when in the zone. A curveball at 67-69 mph was flashed. Confidence and consistent feel for the offering is still being developed. At the plate, Mull showcased quick hands that create good bat speed through the zone. The bat head can get out front and drive balls with authority to the pullside. There is some sneaky power present that should only continue to develop. Mull is an intriguing young player with tools already present. 
 

Blake Gonzales (2027, Casa Grande, AZ) has put together a strong start to the event, including a 2-hit, 3-RBI performance on day two. Gonzales shows good intent at the plate and looks to do damage regularly. Advanced bat speed and feel for the barrel results in hard hit contact regularly. It combines with a strong frame to produce solid gap to gap power presently. Gonzales continues to show impressive run-producing ability that gives him the potential to hit in the middle of the order long term. It is an interesting offensive profile that will warrant attention going forward. 

Ayden McGinnis (2027, Phoenix, AZ) took the mound against a tough GBG Vegas squad and did not shy away. The young lefthander did not allow an earned run and struck out five hitters across 4.2 innings of work. The fastball got up to 84 mph, sitting 79-81 mph throughout the outing. The offering shows life through the zone and can miss bats fairly often. A tight, low-70’s slider pairs well off of the heater and adds another potential swing and miss pitch. Refining the command of both offerings could take the profile to new heights. McGinnis has the present stuff and projectability to be a highly sought after arm in the next couple of years. 

Soren Swing (2027, Park City, UT) put together one of the louder performances of the day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a double and four RBI. Loose hands create good bat speed through the zone. A lofted path helps drive balls in the air consistently, especially to the pullside. It all combines with good feel for the barrel, resulting in hard hit contact often. There is sneaky pullside power present that should only continue to develop. Swing shows quality traits at the plate presently with room and time to grow. It is a potential bat to keep eyes on.

Alexander Molina (‘27, Calif) collected three hits in his first game against Iron Baseball club and added another yesterday against AZ- T-Rex. The CBA Victus San Diego centerfielder stands out at the plate with his noticeable hand speed which allows him to throw and turn a quick barrel through for more out-front impact. He stays grounded into his legs with minimal lower half weight shift which keeps him balanced and the swing is short and compact allowing him to easily find barrel. It looks like a quality top of the order bat-to-ball profile that'll translate immediately to HS baseball. Out in centerfield he has shown well in tracking down fly balls and has also exhibited present athleticism on the bases as well.  


Jayden Harris (‘28, Calif) is one of the more physical and athletic ‘28 grads our scouting staff has seen this summer. The two-sport athlete has swung the bat well to start the tourney. I saw him collect two hits against Iron Baseball Club where he showed noticeable hand strength that allows him to throw a fast barrel through the zone on a flatter path. There’s minimal overall movement to his load with his lower half and bat which just allows his hands to do most of the work. His first hit of the day was a line drive he muscled into center when he was a tad late but pounded a double into the left center gap in his second at-bat flashing some already present power. He will be an exciting player to follow for the next few years as the skill starts to catch up to some advanced athleticism. 

Tyler Koski (’27, MA) has had one of the hottest starts to this tournament, currently 5-for-5 through two games which included three doubles. I took in his three-hit game on Friday where he pounded a line drive into the right-center gap and followed it up with two pullside line drives. Koski has loose hands that create bat lag and quality depth through the zone allowing him to be on-barrel when late or early. There’s also some present bat speed and whip to the swing as he rotates fast through it. He keeps it all simple with his lower half using a quiet toe tap trigger. With how exceptional the bat has performed I’m interested to see how he finishes off the tourney defensively as he plays shortstop for NB select. 

Daxton Davis (‘27, UT). I took in a three-hit game from Davis on Friday which included two doubles and a triple. Davis stands a tall and lean 6-foot-1, 150 pounds and hits cleanup for MBA Green. He has a relaxed presence in the box where he uses a leg lift trigger that works early and with some natural rhythm with his hands. His barrel loads into a flatter early connection position at launch allowing the bat to work level through the zone. There’s above average bat speed there which translated into some present power and it showed with his two long drives over the centerfielder’s head. Davis also jumped on the mound on Friday and threw two shutout relief innings where he ran his fastball into the mid 70s. 

Tyler Tokuda (‘28, HI) has had back-to-back two hit games for Hawaii Elite thus far. In his swing, he exhibits a lot of advanced qualities for a ‘28 grad. He looks athletic and hitterish in the box. He uses a toe tap trigger which creates some rhythm, and he can really whip the barrel through with intent to catch it out front. What also stood out was how fast he rotates through the swing showing that there’s some power to be tapped into down the line. Defensively, he exhibited solid skill behind the plate with his receiving where he keeps a real quiet body while catching it firmly with minimal body movement. On Friday, he also jumped on the mound for two quick shutout innings running his fastball up to 73.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

California All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
The 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory for the state of California, with 18 players ranking among the top 100 in the Perfect Game national rankings.  Three PG All-Americans, IF Trey Ebel, OF Isaiah Hearn and RHP Logan Georges were all edged out of places on the California All-Region Team as a result.  And although the 2027 class doesn’t look as deep, it does feature three Top Six players in SS Dylan Seward, LHP Jared Grindlinger and SS Carter Hadnot. Not surprisingly, California high schools are very well represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, particularly with 2025 Trinity League champion St. John Bosco beginning the season as the top ranked team in the country.  A very deep Orange Lutheran squad holds down the third spot in the rankings, with 12th ranked De La Salle being the top team from Northern California.  Corona (17th),...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...
