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.

‘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.

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 64

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
What Do Barry Zito, Justin Verlander, Trevor Bauer, and Dallas Keuchel All Have in Common? By Ron Wolforth | Texas Baseball Ranch® | PG Arm Care Take a second and think about the question posed in the title before you read on. Four Cy Young Award winners. Four of the most decorated pitchers of their generation. What's the common thread? The first answer is obvious… they all won the most prestigious individual award in pitching. Most of you probably got there immediately. The second answer is less obvious… they all trained at the Texas Baseball Ranch® at some point in their development. Interesting, maybe, but not the point of this article. The third answer is the one I really want you to sit with, because it has direct relevance to your career right now: they all move completely differently. And they all attack hitters completely differently. Don't rush past that....

You like 6-foot-9 lefties up to 100 mph? 2026 Brody Bumila (MA) was electric in season opener, super easy upper-90s, multiple 100s. Easy operation w/ simple delivery despite size. Punched out 9 over 3, double digit whiffs. @PG_Draft pic.twitter.com/BChMhKIIhO — Perfect Game New England (@PG_NewEngland) April 2, 2026 Brody Bumila, LHP, Bishop Feehan (MA), Class of 2026 He's 6-foot-9, 18 years old, left-handed and was up to 100 mph (upwards of 3 times on some guns) in his first start of the year in low-30 degree temperatures. That's really all you need to know. Oh, and the opposing team arrived 40 minutes late. Coming off a state-championship run in basketball, Texas signee Brody Bumila made his first start of the spring on April 2nd and didn't disappoint in front of at least 40 scouts packed tightly together behind the backstop.  Knowing it was going to be a quicker look given...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 8

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
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
Article Image
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...
