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


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.

Ryan Sanchez (‘27, AZ) hammers this ball to deep LCF for a 3-run 💣. Physical 6-5/230 frame. Has some rhythm to the hands. Strength plays at contact #DesertClassic @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/sGL2vcpwIL — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) June 6, 2026 Ryan Sanchez (2027, Chandler, Ariz.) showcased loud two-way ability throughout the event. A physical frame at 6-foot-5, 230-pounds stands out on both sides of the ball. The stuff on the bump was impressive. Sanchez sat 89-92 mph with the heater, topping out at 93 mph. Heavy armside run and the velocity makes the pitch hard to barrel. It was paired with a quality breaking ball at 73-77 mph that showed some bite. At the plate, Sanchez uses his strength efficiently. There is some rhythm to the hands that creates some bat speed. When combined with obvious strength at contact, Sanchez can generate easy power to the...

Beast of the East Scout Notes: Day 1  Day 2 Ryan Kume (’27, Kyle, Texas)- the 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed pitcher punched out 10 batters over five scoreless innings for Lonestar Baseball Club 2027 National. The uncommitted primary shortstop allowed only one hit to get the win in the 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves Scout Team- American. Kume ran the fastball up to 88 mph and sat in the 85-87 mph range with a pair of breaking balls to miss barrels and induce weak contact. He displayed a curveball in the low-70s with high spins in the 2600 RPM range and a slider with late action in the 76-79 mph range.

Swamp Baseball Cruises to 18U Title

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
Swamp Baseball entered the Gulf Coast Classic looking to break through after falling in the championship game in each of the previous two weekends. Their matchup against Florida Flames 18U was a rematch of the East Memorial Day Classic championship game two weeks earlier, when the Flames earned a 4-1 victory. This time, Swamp turned the tables, defeating the Flames 11-2 at JetBlue Park to claim the 18U Gulf Coast Classic title. The game ended after the top of the fifth inning under Perfect Game’s mercy rule, which ends play when the home team leads by eight or more runs after 4 ½ innings. Strong pitching from Payton Sturrup and Ian Long, combined with consistent offensive production throughout the entire lineup, helped Swamp take control early and never look back. Nicholas Raber delivered Swamp’s first hit of the game, driving in two runs with a double. Anthony Reitler...
