Cape Cod Notebook: July 25

Perfect Game Staff
Photo: Aidan Moza (Alabama Athletics)

RHP Aidan Moza, Harwich, Alabama, 2024 

After two shut down appearances, Moza allowed five runs in his third appearance but the stuff heavily outplayed his final line. He has a five-pitch mix and he sequenced them all in to keep hitters off-balance. It’s an athletic delivery with a whippy arm action and a bit of a head whack at max effort. He throws both a two-seam and a four-seam with purpose and commands the corners of the zone well. Both top at 95 but the two-seam occasionally is down a tick in velocity. His change-up is more of a velocity separator but plays well off his jumpy four-seam. The breaking balls are both great and induce chase to the glove side. Curveball gets more depth than the slider but bottoms out well with bite. Slider is cutterish at times and can act as more of a downer but will also get sweep of the zone. Moza only pitched 23.1 innings for the Tide but should fill a bigger role next spring.   



RHP Josh Bostick, Hawich, Grayson College, 2023 

Bostick had a huge velocity uptick and began to work into the upper 90’s in the past year and brought his momentum to the Cape to improve his draft stock even more. His last start before the draft was his best working 6 innings and striking out 7. He pitches from the stretch and has a three pitch mix although he is fastball-slider to RHH and fastball-change to LHH. His fastball started 90-93 with some 95s mixed in but slowly increased in velocity and was 96-98 in his last inning of work which was quite bizarre. Both his other pitches showed good potential with his change-up getting arm side tumble to play off of his fastball and his slider getting good late movement and bite. The Giants selected Bostick in the 8th round of the draft which was a few days after his last start.  

RHP Daniel Avitia, Orleans, Grand Canyon, 2024 

Avitia had an excellent start to the summer but unfortunately had an off night in his most recent start. He has a four-pitch mix: a four seam, two seam/sinker, slider and change-up. He lands with short extension and throws from a low ¾ am slot with whippy arm action. His sinker gets lots of arm side run and is the more effective fastball which is echoed by his usage of it. He throws his change-up to both sides of the plate including plenty of right on right which you don’t see much around the league. He hung one over the plate that got punished but its all around a solid pitch. His slider doesn’t get much sweep and has more gyro movement which makes sense for a supinator like Avitia, but the breaking ball is a distant third pitch.   


RHP Bryce Cunningham, Bourne, Vanderbilt, 2024 

Cunningham returned to Bourne for his second summer and has started off with three quality starts. His most recent one included zero walks which was a great sign of improvement start to start. He was mostly used in the bullpen for Vanderbilt with his fastball in the upper 90’s but has sat in the lower 90’s this summer with a few 94s mixed in. He shows great command of the fastball with a good shape that picks corners of the zone. His slider is cutterish in movement and moves enough to miss bats but averages a couple inches to both planes. His third pitch is a changeup with some arm side tumble in the mid 80’s. His delivery is low effort and repeatable with a ¾ arm slot. He looks the part on the mound and should slot into the Commodores rotation for his draft eligible spring.  
 

LHP Tristan Smith, Bourne, Clemson, 2024 

Smith made his third appearance and second start on Monday’s standalone game in Hyannis. He looked great and some scouts said it was the best he has looked since he was a well regarded prospect in high school. The lefty has an athletic delivery with a three pitch mix. His fastball has great shape with arm side run while also getting ride through the zone. He induced 8 whiffs with the fastball while also freezing hitters as it ran back over the plate. His secondaries lagged behind the fastball with his slider showing more potential than his changeup. He has worked up in pitch count in his first few innings and it will be interesting to see Smith stretched out against some more high-powered lineups.  
 

C Caden Bodine, Bourne, Coastal Carolina, 2025 

Bodine had an excellent freshman year for Coastal and has quickly become one of the best freshman bats on Cape, if not all ages. He has a slightly open stance with a big load where he really sits on his back side. It looks the same from both sides of the plate and he is able to tap into above average power with good barrel accuracy. His skills at the plate are improved with his excellent approach and plate discipline. Behind the plate, he is just as solid and is able to steal strikes with solid receiving skills. Bourne has a loaded lineup and Bodine was a priority to see this week with the noise he has been making visually and statistically.  

SS Jonathan Vastine, Bourne. Vanderbilt 2024 

Vastine started the spring with a hot bat and playing second base every day, the bat slowed down a bit but he showed his excellent defensive skills at shortstop. He is an extremely twitchy athlete with lightning quick hands. He has an open stance with a closed front hip and uses a very small load to create a simple and effective operation at the plate. There is some swing and miss to his game but his hands are quick and accurate to help Vastine get his barrel to the ball all around the zone. He is a plus to potentially plus-plus runner and has good footwork in the infield. His range is impressive and the few plays he does not make in the infield, are probably easy hits with other infielders. With Vastine, Diaz and RJ Austin, the Vanderbilt infield can be extremely impressive in this upcoming spring.  
 

IF Davis Diaz, Brewster, Vanderbilt, 2024 

Diaz notoriously turned down a lot of money out of high school to make it to Nashville and proceeded to have a slow offensive year both at school and with Brewster. He took a big step this year, now playing more 3B, and is back in Brewster hoping to continue his improvement. He has a slightly open stance with a small load mostly using his hips and keeps his hands quiet. He is a polished defender and continues to impress even now at 3B where his above average to plus arm can shine. He has a hit over power profile but has started to tap into more pop and drive the ball into the gaps with four doubles already this summer. A big name for the 2024 draft that has immense potential and has gradually shown more and more on the field.  

OF Josh Pearson, Brewster, LSU, 2024 

Pearson was with Cotuit last summer and had a tall task to compete for a spot in the stacked LSU lineup but he managed to play a big role in the College World Series. He rode the National Championship high into Brewster and is off to a hot start through 6 games hitting .350 with a home run and four stolen bases. He has an even stance with high hands and has shown great feel to hit and has consistently barreled up baseballs. He slots into a corner outfield spot defensively with a fringy arm but has been extremely valuable on the base paths. He has below average speed but shows strong instincts on the base paths. LSU will likely field another roster next spring and Pearson has the chance to play his way into an everyday role for the Tigers.  

1B/RHP Cole Mathis, Cotuit, College of Charleston, 2024 

Mathis has really impressed at the plate this summer and that is while also throwing 17 innings on the mound. I have yet to see him pitch live but he uses a four pitch mix that features a mid 90’s fastball, two breaking balls and a change-up. He hit his fifth home run Thursday and taps into his plus raw power consistently in game. He has a simple operation at the plate with a wide, even stance and low handset. Mathis is mainly a 1B when not on the mound but has gotten some playing time on the outfield where his arm will play but lacks speed and range. Defensive value aside, Mathis shows an advanced approach and feel for the barrel and has shown so far this summer that his talent expands beyond CAA pitching.

With a postseason run for the ages, the Oklahoma Sooners (43-23) took home the National Championship and naturally finish the 2026 season as our No. 1 team in the land.  It is the third national title for the Sooners, playing in their 12th CWS and making their fourth championship series appearance.  They add to previous national titles won in 1951 and 1994 and did it by taking the most difficult path of any team in this year’s tournament.  In the NCAA Tournament, Oklahoma took down national seeds, No. 2 Georgia Tech twice, No. 3 Georgia twice, No. 5 UNC twice, No. 7 Alabama and No. 15 Kansas twice.  This was the second time that head coach Skip Johnson has led the Sooners to the CWS Championship Series since 2022 and the first time he has taken home the crown.  The North Carolina Tarheels (54-14) was one win away from their first national title and finish...

13u World Series Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Michael Wedgeworth (2030, Flomaton, AL) had put the two way ability on full display so far this week, dominating from both sides. On the mound Wedgeworth ran the fastball up to 84 (81-83) with ease to the delivery. Broke off a couple nasty curveballs that induced swing and miss, as well as freezing hitters for punch outs. Collected six in his four inning complete game. He also would not be denied at the plate going 3-5 in the first two days with two doubles. Very intriguing young player as the body continues to grow.  Tyler Bellush (2031, Summerville, SC) is a sure handed shortstop for the Canes Nation squad. Swings it from the left side of the plate and the barrel accuracy has really stuck out thus far. 3-4 through the first couple days with a double and two triples, Bellush has also walked twice and collected 3 RBI along the way. Yesterday against USA Prime with the bases loaded,...

16u WWBA North Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Oliver Lindstrom (2028, Green Bay, WI) created some of the loudest offensive moments of the weekend while producing across the board, finishing with six hits, eight RBI, and a home run. The right-handed hitter showed the ability to stay through the baseball and drive it with authority. Creates quality leverage through the lower half while arriving in strong hitting positions early, allowing the barrel to work with intent through the zone. The blend of power, athleticism, and all-fields impact stood out throughout the event.  Dominic Haigh (2028, South Bend, IN) was one of the most productive hitters at the event, collecting 10 hits while consistently creating pressure on opposing defenses. Made life difficult on pitchers with a relentless approach, routinely extending at-bats and forcing them to work deep into counts. The operation remains simple and efficient, featuring an early...

13u WWBA Scout Note Recap

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
Walter Izquierdo Jr. (2031, Miami, Fla.) showed off the upside on the mound for Beast Baseball 13u. The right-handed pitcher went four innings and collected three strikeouts while spreading two hits and two walks for one run. The fastball topped out at 80 and was consistently in the upper- 70s. Showed feel for a curveball with 12-6 shape and some looser vertical depth that was able to get weak contact. Competes in the zone well and showed some feel to work on the arm-side half of the plate. Intriguing upside on the young arm.   Brett Hamlin (2031, Jupiter, Fla.) showed off the barrel feel for FTB American 13u. The left-handed hitter collected nine hits, including two doubles and a triple, to drive in seven RBI. Strong hands and flips the hips well to create good bat speed. Simple operation that gets on time consistently and impacts the ball well. Worked the pull-side well and...

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo.
