16u Northeast Select Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Anthony Gambardella
Alex Comire (2024, Manchester, NH) has put together an impressive summer thus far and made sure to keep the bat hot this past weekend. The 5-foot-11 right-handed hitter posted 10 hits and crossed home eight times, both of which were highs for the event. He batted .556 with five RBIs to go along with an on-base percentage of .652. Comire impressed with his ability to put the baseball in-play as he earned his way on base in a multitude of ways. He has a very consistent barrel that works the entire field. Comire proved to be a tough out for opposing pitchers as he went 23 plate appearances without striking out. The 2024 prospect also displayed the ability to work both gaps, showing glimpses of some power potential.

Adrian Tavarez (2025, Westbury, NY) continued his dominant summer at the plate with a .500 showing. The athletic 5-foot-9 right-handed hitter showcased his nifty barrel skills and budding power tool. He has tons of strength in the hands with impressive power to all parts of the field. Tavarez continued to turn a lot of heads this past weekend when he launched another long home run. He utilizes the lower-half well and creates tons of force and strength at impact when he barrels up the baseball. Currently uncommitted, Tavarez will be a name to monitor over the next several months.



Colin Horowitz (2025, Massapequa, NY) put together an efficient outing last Saturday. The right-hander struck out ten batters over five innings of work and allowed just one man on base. The fastball showed tons of life through the zone and topped out at 80 mph. He controlled his mix very well, landing his off-speed offerings for strikes both early and late in counts. Horowitz got ahead of counts early and often, working the four quadrants of the strike zone effectively.

Andrew Basel (2024, Mineola, NY) ran his fastball with tons of arm-side run up to 87 mph early on. He retired 11 of 13 batters via the strikeout throughout his 4.1 innings of work, blowing the heater by opposing hitters. He mixes his well-tunneled slider fairly well in the latter portion of counts. The velocity is effortless and will continue to climb as the 6-foot-3 right-hander adds strength to his frame. Basel projects well as an arm.

Hudson Cavallo (2025, Hopewell Junction, NY) impressed with another solid outing on the bump, striking out eight batters over six innings. The West Virginia commit wears a long, lanky 6-foot-6 frame with tons of physical upside and room to fill. He ran his heavy fastball up to 88 mph with it sitting in the 85-86 mph range throughout the duration of his outing. He landed a breaking ball with some vertical tilt and late bite to it for swings and misses. Cavallo will be an intriguing arm to follow over the next few years.

Luke Guerriere (2025, White Plains, NY) pounded the strike zone in his start on Saturday. The 6-foot left hander tossed a complete game, allowing just one run on three hits. He fanned 10 batters and produced tons of weak contact, earning him quick outs. Guerriere’s fastball sat in the mid- to upper-70s but it was located well and dodged several barrels early and late in counts. The uncommitted rising junior swings it well too so he will certainly be a prospect to keep an eye on over the next year or so.

-Anthony Gambardella


Matthew Gileno (2025, Syosset, NY) continues to solidify himself as a top performer with another fantastic weekend at the plate batting .583 (7 for 12) while racking up three extra-base hits including two home runs. The left-handed batter is able to generate consistent pull-side power utilizing a short stride pairing extremely quick hands. Gilenos physical profile and raw hitting ability make him a great candidate to succeed at the next level. 

Joseph Tagliavia (2025, Massapequa Park, NY) was an absolute force on both sides of the ball for Team Francisco serving as a prime contributor to their PG Championship. Right-hander Tagliavia provided six innings of one run ball on the bump while punching out eight and securing the MV-Pitcher award. Tagliavia commanded his fastball with excellence despite reaching a new PG personal high of 87 mph. He mixed in a deceptive breaker in the mid-70s and generated plenty of swings and misses with his short arm action. On the offensive end Tagliavia batted .700 (7 for 10) and included five stolen bags.

Jordan Welch (2024, Farmingdale, NY) picked up the MV-Player award this past weekend in Long Island as he raked at the plate. The physically imposing right-handed hitter batted .400 (6 for 14) while knocking in six and scoring eight runs. Welch displayed his strength launching two deep home runs and was up to 86 during his five innings of work on the mound. Welch should be an interesting prospect to watch as he continues to develop his existing skills.

Tyler Cook (2024, Glenwood Landing, NY) was yet another offensive factor for Team Francisco aiding their tournament success. Cook batted .538 (7 for 13) and while collecting five walks posting an overall tournament OBP of .667. The right-handed catcher knocked in four at the plate while coming around the bases six times. He showcased overall maturity between his plate discipline and base running skills.

Rohan Shah (2024, Hicksville, NY) certainly turned some heads as he punched out 10 batters in four no-hit frames of work this past weekend in Long Island. The right-handed pitcher utilized a low-80s fastball with lots of arm side action and paired a low-70s curveball commanding both pitches around the zone.

-Mason Wood

Garrett Snyder (2025, Unionville, CT) lasted four innings in his start over the weekend, striking out five and allowing just four hits with none earned. Working from a strong and sturdy 6-foot-5 frame, Snyder reached 89 mph with the fastball, sitting in the mid-80s. His breaking ball is a high-70s slider with late bite. A repeatable and easy short-arm delivery, Snyder pounded the zone with all of his offerings, limiting baserunners.


Brendan Horne (2025, Hooksett, NH) had a strong weekend at the dish last weekend, collecting five hits, including a pair of doubles and a triple. He also showed good plate skills, walking four times and striking out just once in 18 at-bats. Horne put his speed and base running skills on display as well, swiping four bags. With a strong and athletic frame, Horne possesses bat speed that allows the barrel to fire through the zone with impact. 

Joseph Hiller (2025, Center Moriches, NY) was terrific over his seven-inning shutout performance, striking out nine and allowing just four hits, walking none. Hiller possesses a strong and sturdy 5-foot-10 frame with athletic movements on the mound and a repeatable easy flow delivery, throwing from a low three-quarters slot. Hiller’s fastball sat in the lower-80s with some arm-side run and sink, along with a good curveball with late depth that produced swings. He pounded the zone with both offerings.

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

Field of 64 Projections

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 season was one of the most exciting and unpredictable editions of college baseball in recent memory, and as quickly as it flew by, we are ready to start the “Road to Omaha”.  After hours of deliberation, we are ready to release our projected region field and “Field of 64” as we see it.  The UCLA Bruins (51-6) start us off as the anticipated No. 1 National Seed as they put the finishing touches on a historic season, including a 27-game win streak, a Big 10 Regular Season title and Big 10 Tournament championship.  The Big 10 looks like they will have (4) teams in the field, with (3) host sights, representing the West Coast well.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (48-9) should secure the No. 2 Nation Seed and lead the charge for (8) teams from the ACC in the field with (3) of them securing host opportunities.  Meanwhile, the Georgia...

Colton Floyd (‘27,AZ) just misses a HR here. Can really impact the baseball & shows over the fence power potential. Took 3 QAB’s today. He’s the #1 ranked 3B in the state and #4 in the country. #MDWest https://t.co/ReMh7D0v4y pic.twitter.com/w1dzssSy8N — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) May 23, 2026 Colton Floyd, 3B, Chandler, AZ. Canes West National (2027) Floyd is a high-upside prospect with physical tools and burgeoning power. His combination of size, bat speed, and raw strength makes him one of the top power-hitting third basemen in the country. Currently ranked the #1 third baseman in Arizona and #4 nationally in his class. With continued refinement of his approach and defensive consistency, he has all the ingredients to be a middle-of-the-order bat at Texas A&M and a legitimate MLB Draft prospect JJ Utash (‘27,AZ) with a triple here....

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

Ron Wolforth

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas  As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

Best of the Best Event Preview

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week:  Carson Tinney, C, Texas  The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week.  To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney.  The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year.  In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told.  With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...
