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.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple.

Another week of conference play down and Johnson County continues there tear through the spring of 2026, they retain the top spot with Gaston nipping their heels at number 2 for the third consecutive week. McLennan jumps up to number 3 with a big series sweep over rival Texas powerhouse, Weatherford. Out west, Cochise just keeps rolling in the desert and California looks to be hotly contested all the way down the final stretch. A couple of debut appearances down the board with Harford, CCF, and Linn Benton all earning their spot on our top 25 for the first time in the first week of April.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 8

Nick Herfordt

We are past the midpoint of the college baseball season and the stakes are rising by the week. Conference races are tightening, schedules are getting harder, and the résumés that will matter in the selection room are being written right now — one series at a time. This week's most significant development came in Division II, where North Greenville swept Young Harris in three consecutive one-run games to claim the top spot for the first time this season, knocking Tampa from a perch they've held most of the year. It's a genuine changing of the guard at the top, and it's exactly the kind of shakeup that makes this stretch of the season worth paying close attention to. Across all three divisions the picture is coming into focus. In Division I NAIA, Georgia Gwinnett remains the standard while Taylor and Cumberlands continue to make their cases from behind. In Division III,...

Iowa Spring League Notes: Week 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Brooks Mitchell-Birdsell (2027, Atkins, Iowa) was solid on both sides of the ball this weekend. He was able to show a clean move working into it, with the feel to impact it out in front and drive hard through contact. He had good barrel accuracy with feel to drive the ball well, especially working pull-side. He was 4-for-8 on the weekend with a double to his credit, driving in 7 runs as well. Mitchell-Birdsell also put together a good outing on the mound, delivering 2 innings of scoreless work with 3 punchouts. He worked the low 80s with some run, flashing a mid-70s curveball with good 11-5 shape and depth.  Maddux Mueller (2026, Amana, Iowa) LH bat with plenty to like in the batter’s box, and he put together a solid showing this weekend. He finished 2-for-3 with a double, demonstrating both contact ability and the capacity to drive the baseball for extra bases. Mueller...

College Players of the Week: April 7

Craig Cozart

April 7th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF  The UCF Knights (20-9) are coming off one of their biggest series victories in years when they went to Morgantown and took down the Mountaineers to take control of the Big 12 regular season standings.  The offense put on quite the performance and Andrew Williamson set the tone by leaving the yard in his first at-bat of the weekend launching a towering home run over the centerfield wall.  The 6-0/195 lefty from St. Petersburg, FL has one of the sweetest strokes in the college game today and when he goes, so do the Knights.  In the 3-game series, the junior collected 6 hits in his 10 at-bats, scoring 6 runs, on 5 walks, a double and he launched 3 home runs all told.  While he had a stretch earlier in the season where he was searching for his stroke a bit, he is getting locked in at the...

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside.  Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad.  The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll.  The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend.  Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors. Chicago White Sox 1:1 Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA | 1:41 Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame The White Sox don’t overthink here and select Roch Cholowsky, who has...

Lennex Minor (‘28 CA) absolutely destroys this offering to the PS for a 2-run shot. 2-4 on the day w/ 4 driven in. Athletic in the box w/ a quick stroke and strength throughout the frame.
