WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2

Henry Goodwin (2026 Overland Park, Kan.) has been one of the better bats in looks the past two days and it continued. He sprayed a double to the opposite field gap and showing some real feel to hit. The swing path is simple and clean, staying short to long and staying inside awfully well. He gets his top hand over nicely and has good bat speed in a wiry 5-foot-10 build. The frame and tools may not jump off the page, but he’s a gamer up the middle and can really spray it. 



Dylan Iwanyk (2026 Spring Lake, New Jersey) was an uncommitted standout arm who showed big flashes of arm talent. It was every bit of 87-89 mph over five-plus frames and ran it up to 90 mph with some big running life, generating over 22 inches of run. The slider is more two-plane depthy offering that gets around it some but has late bite action to the glove side in the 77-79 mph range. He’s a good mover in a 6-foot-4 frame and has plenty more in the tank. 

Samuel Chin (2026, La Grange Park, Illinois) is a very enticing uncommitted lefty with a real mix. He ran it up to 85 mph and lived 81-83 mph striking out eight in the process. The fastball plays up a bit getting out front from a loose lower release height. The slider is a 72-74 mph bender with legit shape and lateral action. He also has a higher-70s changeup to both sides. Chin can pitch east to west and can flat out pitch.

Tyler Ellis (2026, Kingsland, Georgia) recently committed to Florida and is a solid follow for the class. He’s an immensely physical two-way athlete with standout strength to all fields. He pieced a triple deep to the right-center gap with big bat speed and strength out front. He leverages the back side some and gains a ton of ground force with real impact and carry. A corner outfielder, He also is a high end low-90s arm and the tools stand out. 

Cruz Romo (2027, The Woodlands, Texas) more than held his own in the box playing up. He roped a double to the opposite field gap and put together quality swings. It’s a very clean swing that can inside-out or pull and get the bat head out. He creates space and projects for some serious added strength in a wiry framed. Romo is a bat-first corner who was awfully impressive and is a name to keep an eye on. 

-Isaiah Burrows


Ellis Appling (2026, Grayson, Ga.) caught a first-pitch fastball out front and tattooed it to the pull side for a two-run homer. The uncommitted outfielder has big physicality, rotating swiftly with a strong lower half to inflict lots of force upon baseballs. Through his first 3 games of the tournament, he has 7 at bats, 7 RBI, and 7 total bases. 

Saunder Dinkelman (2026, Tallahassee, Fla.) recorded a pair of loud hits to the pull side on Saturday morning. He started the day with a bang, as he launched a two-run homer in his first at bat. The uncommitted catching prospect uses his physical frame to produce effortless power off of the barrel. He strides well in the box with a violent, fast barrel that he swipes levelly through the zone. 

After the first three days of the tournament, one pitcher stands alone atop the Top Performers leaderboard, and his name is Leodan A Rodriguez (2026, Miami, Fla.) The physical 6-foot-0 workhorse has proven to be battle-tested this weekend. He has worked in the mid-80s range on the fastball, topping out at 87 mph. He has also commanded his secondaries well. On Saturday morning, he fired a 7-inning complete game in which he allowed 1 hit and 0 earned runs. When combined with his outing on Friday, Rodriguez has thrown 9 total innings of 1-hit ball with 0 earned runs, 6 walks, and 13 strikeouts. It is certainly an intriguing uncommitted profile, especially as a left-handed pitcher.  


Max Strickland (2026, Townsville, Qld, Aus.) has flashed some electric stuff this week. The uncommitted prospect possesses a fastball that routinely touches 91 mph. He also sprinkles in a curveball and changeup. Strickland is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-handed pitcher with big projection. He athletically strides toward home plate with a big leg kick. His command is an area undergoing refinement, but an organization would certainly be excited to tinker with a profile like his. 
 
Cullen Garner (2028, Fleming Island, Fla.) made quick work on the mound on Saturday. The projectable righty fired 3 scoreless innings and allowed no hits. His fastball rode in the mid-80s range and was paired with an impressive curveball. He collected 3 strikeouts while issuing 3 walks. Garner certainly appears to be advanced beyond his years, as he carves the zone against older competition. 

-Bailey Srebnik 


Wyatt Clatur (2026, Nolensville, Tenn.) came out for FTB Tennessee 2026 Haynie and was throwing absolute bullets in the early going. The right-hander showed some really intriguing arm speed and was sitting comfortably in the 91-93 range, grabbing 94 mph in the second inning. It’s a free and loose arm with excellent arm speed and the body projects in a big way at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds. He showed developing feel for a slider in the low-80s and also flashed a changeup. Clatur had a big crowd from the get-go and was certainly a name that was written down by countless college coaches after this outing.
 

Geraniel J. Nieves Fontanez (2026, Aguas Buenas, P.R.) got the game started early in the 8 AM slot with a loud homer to the pull-side. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound outfielder showed a fluid path on the swing and got the barrel extended, showing some impressive strength with a lot more coming as he continues to fill out the frame. He’s swinging the bat well on the weekend and already has four RBI over three games. He’s a top-10 ranked player in Puerto Rico that seems to always perform and has a good blend of present bat speed and projection.

Bryce Cureo (2026, Springville, N.Y.) came out of the bullpen for Canes Florida Scout and cruised through two innings, striking out five and not allowing a hit. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander sat in the 86-88 range, topping out at 90 mph a few times early in the outing. He showed good feel to spin a tight slider in the upper-70s for ugly whiffs late in counts. It’s easy to project more velocity here as well as he continues filling out the slender frame and will be a name to monitor closely after this outing.

Caden Schlotterbeck (2026, Tampa, Fla.) showed some intriguing things on the mound for Top Tier Roos 2026 American on Saturday afternoon. The 6-foot, 180-pound left-handed pitcher went four innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight. He showed excellent feel for a three-pitch mix and sat comfortably in the mid-80s for most of the outing. The changeup was a weapon to right-handed hitters as he turns it over with confidence and he also showed a tight breaking ball to round out the mix. There’s a lot of pitchability here and there should be tons of interest from the collegiate ranks about Schlotterbeck.

Cole Bitman (2026, Tampa, Fla.) has put together a strong event so far through three games for FTB Tucci 2026. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound catcher/third baseman is hitting .400 and added a hard hit base knock on Saturday. I’m a big fan of the left-handed swing and it’s an intriguing profile if he can stick behind the dish. The bat-to-ball skills are excellent and it’s a free flowing left-handed swing with natural loft to the path. He’s been super consistent at the plate throughout the week and has one of the prettier left-handed swings I’ve seen on the weekend.

Federic Irving (2026, Oranjestad, AA.) just continues to rake each time I see him at PG events. The 6-foot, 170-pound switch hitter has innate feel for the barrel and seems to be on it often in my looks. The Montverde product is hitting .500 through three games here in Fort Myers and went deep on Friday. He added a well struck single to the stat sheet on Saturday and has already drove in five runs as well. It’s just a polished hit tool and he’s hitting .438 on the year over 80 AB’s. Irving has been one of my favorite watches throughout the fall thus far and doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon.
 

Ryan Moreschi (2026, Peabody, Mass.) has been one of the main pop up bats that’s impressed both me and countless college coaches throughout the weekend. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound outfielder has shown the ability to manipulate the barrel nicely all event and is hitting an incredible .571 through three games. He’s not just hitting singles; he has three doubles including two on Saturday. There’s some twitch to the hands and the barrel gets through the zone in a hurry with strength to both gaps. He’s been a fun watch throughout the weekend and will be a name to keep up with in the New England region.

-Cam McElwaney


Hunter West (‘27 PA) 

Loved this showing in relief. The lean 6 foot plus frame has wiry strength and moves very well down the slope.  He extends well with good direction and the full arm stroke gets to a consistent three-quarters release. Living in the upper 80’s, the fastball gets on hitters. He shows comfort working east to west and going up the ladder for late count whiffs. This arm projects as well as any and should see gradual velocity increase. Legit arm to follow out of the 2027 grad class.  


Reed Curtier (‘26 PA) 

Very intriguing potential in this uncommitted 2026 right-hander. The delivery is fluid with free flowing arm action that produces excellent running life to the low 90’s gas. Slider was inconsistent in shape but his best ones were as real as any of the top arms in the class. Firm with two plane break and hard biting action that can rack up the whiffs. Command was stout. Frequently set hitters eye up away before coming in and vice versa. Impressive showing in front of collegiate heat, shouldn’t last long as an uncommitted. 
 

Carson Kail (‘27 IN)  

The middle of the order bat for this Ghost Mocha team just continues to stack productive days at the dish. Its a balanced base with simple stroke and budding strength out front. The body has a bit of a young look to it but its pretty evident that he is going to grow and add strength over the coming years. The standout barrel skills will continue to play up as he comes into real right-handed juice. 
 
Brandon Emig (‘27 PA) 

Draw the start for Ghost Mocha National the undersized right-handed caught eyeballs of those in attendance after just a few pitches. The delivery has good direction with good drive down the plane. Arm speed stands out for the age, and he repeats at a high level. Fastball has glimpses of carry through the zone and overpowered hitters in the upper portion of the zone. The breaking ball is good enough to miss barrels presently and will only improve as he refines and continues to add strength/velocity. Impressive showing with innate arm speed and feel to pitch. 

-Troy Sutherland
 

Christopher Marano (2026, North Haledon, N.J.) was dominant in his start for Ghost National. The uncommitted right-hander sat in the 88-90 range with the heater but it was the slider that was most impressive. Marano threw it a ton & garnered a bunch of swing-and-miss in the upper-70s. He has a ton of confidence in the pitch, comfortable landing it in any count while ripping off some nasty ones for whiffs. The projection is still significant given how athletic and loose the operation is. Marano finished throwing three scoreless, one-hit innings while allowing just one hit and punching out four.

Tate Troxell (2026, Noblesville, Ind.) showed an impressive three pitch mix in the early morning start for Indiana Bulls Black. The Alabama commit stands at a physically imposing 6-foot-4, 225-pounds and the fastball held in the 85-88 range. The delivery is up tempo and compact, and he has the secondaries to match. The slider featured tight spin and two-plane break, dropping off the table late. The changeup came in the low-80s with heavy fade and consistency, replicating the arm speed off the heater well. Troxell struck out seven across three frames and the pitchability stands out to go along with the size.


Jaxson Wood (2026, Hoover, Alabama.) was all over the barrel Saturday afternoon, per usual. The shortstop picked up a pair of doubles, both to pull side. The first came off a breaking ball that was driven deep into them left centerfield gap for an easy standup double. In the follow at-bat, he went down to get a ball below the zone and scorched a liner. The Tennessee commit can really run and has a refined all-around game. The defense and glove also stands out at short with plenty of range and great actions. Wood made an impressive play to end the game, charging in on a slow roller in the 5-6 hole and throwing on the run to deliver an accurate toss.
 
Luke Manderson (2026, Jacksonville, Fl.) came in out of the ‘pen for Artillery Baseball 2026 Scout and shoved. The Florida native is an uber athletic mover and the ball explodes out of the hand. The fastball lived in the upper-80s from a low release height, allowing it to play really well up in the zone. The slider came in the upper-70s and has the makings of a swing-and-miss offering as well. Manderson showed excellent feel for the pitch with tight spin and later break. The right-hander went two scoreless frames, punching out three. Manderson also has right-handed pop at the plate and the two-way upside is significant.


Aj Saccento (2026, Scotch Plains, N.J.) was filthy for Ghost National in the 8 am slot. The southpaw went two 2/3 innings with every single out (eight) he recorded being a strikeout. The Duke commit sat in the 85-87 range and he hides it well from a crossfire delivery. The slider was the bread-and-butter, drawing a ton of empty swings. The pitch operated in the 77-80 range, featuring big sweep and bite. Saccento works from an easy and low effort delivery and the two-pitch mix proved to be deadly Saturday morning.

-Kyler Peterson


2026 RHP Tyson Bobo (San Diego, Calif.) was great in his start, striking out 7 across 3 innings without allowing a walk or a hit, and showed strong stuff. He’s a really athletic mover with a lightning-fast arm, turbo sinking the heater at 87-90 and spinning it well. The athleticism allows him to pound the zone at a high clip, and the arm speed shows that there may be even more in thank, in addition to what is already a really good fastball. 

2026 1B AJ Curry (San Diego, Calif.) made good use of the pitches he got to see in this look as his first at-bat was a bomb that golfed out to the pull side with ease. He’s very physical and it allows him to easily create strong contact, while the leverage to the swing is geared for getting it in the air and letting the strength do the work. 
 

2027 OF/1B Deuce Jenkins (Brandon, Miss.) is playing up a year with this group here this weekend and certainly doesn’t look out of place physically at 6’1/210. He’s strong and has one of the more explosive swings you’ll find at any age, creating massive bat speed and as a result massive jump off the barrel. He’s more athletic than his size presents as he runs well and is able to handle himself in the outfield too as he made play ranging to his back side. 

2026 SS Jet Berry (Queen Creek, Ariz.) and 2026 C Jared Mathis (Woodstock, Ga.) played on the other side of the three guys mentioned prior and both found a way to impact the game in their own regard with the bats. Berry had a couple hits, one a hard liner to the pull side and the other a bunt single, which represents just how much he can impact with his legs as a strong runner. He handles the barrel well and has good bat to ball too. Mathis is a physical right-handed bat who had two hard liner singles, showing a strong base and simplicity too. 
 

2026 SS Jordan Martinez (Jacksonville, Fla.) had a great few games through the first few days of the event, hitting .500 with four extra-base hits, including two home runs. He’s a big riser on the national stage over the last year or so, with some of the biggest juice in the class. He has hit at a number of stops already, impacting the baseball to the whole field and this is just another box checked in terms of performing on the national stage.

Mason Bicht (‘29 PA) stays hot, nukes this ball to dead CF for a Grand Slam💣 clear juice being put on display today #WWBANEChamp@PG_Scouting https://t.co/l24AwJ8RnB pic.twitter.com/iYgNvJcD2M — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) June 13, 2026 Mason Bicht (2029 Lansdale, PA) was an absolute force offensively over the course of the WWBA Northeast Championship, ultimately ending his event with a well deserved most valuable player award. Finishing with a .571 BA including five doubles, a HR, and 14 RBI, the 6-foot-1, 210 pound prospect simply refused to get out, and was a major reason why his Philly Bandits squad walked away champs Monday afternoon. The stance for Bicht is relaxed and balanced with loose hands and plenty of bat speed to be found. He generates effortless carry to the pull side & middle of the field, flashing clear jump off the barrel with leverage created...

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs After Nine-Inning Battle After three and a half hours under the hot Florida sun, VSA Sluggers 18 and Swamp Baseball’s City of Palms Championship battle ended in fitting fashion, with both teams sharing the title. The two teams remained tied 9-9 through nine innings before lightning in the area brought the championship matchup to a halt Monday afternoon. The two local programs have built a competitive rivalry, with several close matchups stemming from their proximity and familiarity with each other. Their history was evident throughout Monday’s matchup as emotions ran high, resulting in several heated exchanges and the eventual ejection of Swamp head coach Brian Porvaznik. Just three weeks earlier, the two teams met in the championship game of the BCS Qualifier, where VSA earned a 6-4 victory. Swamp entered Monday’s matchup looking to flip...

Florida World Series Scout Notes

Ian Long (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed pitcher, came out firing for Swamp Baseball and ran his fastball up to 87 mph through the first inning. Generates power well with his lower half and does a nice job getting down the mound. Filled up the strike zone early and showed the ability to work ahead in counts. Samuel Mendoza (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 5-foot-7, 155-pound right-handed pitcher, got the start for VSA and worked with a fastball in the low-80s. Mixed in a tight breaking ball that paired well off the heater and helped keep hitters off balance. Competed in the zone throughout his outing. Owen Augustine (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed pitcher, lived in the mid-80s with his fastball and made quick work of hitters. The ball comes out of his hand clean and he consistently attacked the strike zone. Showed confidence working...

Coastal Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
James Propst (2031, Indian Trail, NC) stands at 5-foot-8, 150 pounds with a lean, athletic frame and developing strength. A left-handed hitter and thrower, Propst is a versatile utility player. He consistently makes hard contact and brings an aggressive approach to the plate. Staying connected throughout his swing, he works counts well and consistently produces quality at-bats. Propst had a great day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and a home run. Overall, he delivered an impressive offensive performance. Daniel Davis (2030, Columbia, SC) stands at 5-foot-11, 145 pounds with a lean, athletic build and room to add strength. He bats right-handed and throws left-handed. He shows a wiry frame with quick-twitch athleticism, a balanced stance, and a repeatable swing, consistently squaring the ball up. Davis went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run, scoring two runs...

14u WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2030 SS Cash Kelly (Franklin, Tenn.) is a buzzing name this summer as someone who is off to a fast start and looks the part as one of the better pure hitters in this class. He’s very comfortable in the box, showing an innate feel to find the barrel (and limit swing-and-miss) while the hands are fast and he can really accelerate the barrel. Defensively he has been excellent making plays look easy, showing nice range and enough arm for the left side. Add in the fact that he’s a strong runner and you have someone that can impact the game a ton. 2030 SS/RHP Trey Vandergriff (Milton, Ga.) got a couple innings of work at the back end of East Cobb’s first game and looked awesome, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced with big stuff. He sat 85-88, showing dynamic arm speed and a really athletic delivery, while the breaking ball feel stood out, showing he can land it in any...

MLB Draft Board: Top 500 400. Michael Barnett, RHP, UCLA R-R, 6-4/210, Lafayette, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Michael Barnett has started games over the last four years for the Bruins, including 44 starts over the past three seasons. The fastball does not overpower hitters, but can generate ground balls at a high rate. A heavy fading changeup is the primary secondary pitch and plus offering. Barnett will use it often and miss bats at a high clip with it. A low-80’s slider adds a third offering. Barnett does not generate a ton of strikeouts, but pounds the zone and fills innings.  401. Connor Marshburn, RHP, UNC Wilmington R-R, 6-6/240, Cary, NC Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Connor Marshburn features an XL frame at 6-foot-6, 240-pounds.
