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.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms
Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo 💣 (100 EV/ 416 ft).

Perfect Game Iowa City Scouting Showcase August 29-30 Ashley Mears It was a great weekend to kick off the Fall 2026 tournament campaign in Iowa City.

We are excited to continue following these players and see what the rest of the fall has in store! Gillian Hansen (2028 New Brighton, MN) of the 18u MN Force Impact Standering was an absolute force to be reckoned with at the plate this weekend.

Standing parallel to the plate, she utilizes her lower half effectively and does an excellent job of staying through the ball and extending through the zone. Hansen led the...
