Midwest Fall Classic Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Mac Driscoll (2026, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) has an athletic 6-foot, 160-pound frame and impressed in his first game of the tournament, collecting a single and walk in 3 plate appearances. In the box, the righty shows rhythm and maturity, followed by a quick, repeatable load with a high leg kick. He possesses explosive hands that stay compact creating a flat bat path, leading to the barrel, staying in the zone longer. Out of the box, Driscoll moves well showing his athletic ability. As a twitchy athlete, Driscoll shapes up to be a name to follow in the ‘26 uncommitted class for Iowa.

Reed Strohmeyer (2025, Dubuque, Iowa), a Nebraska commit, stands at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds as an extremely projectable frame. Overall, Strohmeyer had a solid weekend, collecting a handful of hits, including a hard hit single up the middle in his first game and a line drive double to center field in his final game. The lefty has a simple setup and load followed by quick hands that work through the ball, able to drive the ball to all parts of the field. At shortstop, Strohmeyer made a handful of plays with ease. He is a rangy defender with clean actions and quick hands to follow. He possesses a strong, whippy arm that works from a multitude of angles. As Strohmeyer enters his senior year, he will look to continue to move up the 2025 rankings as the Huskers await his arrival.

Zach Benge (2026, Indianola, Iowa) stands at 5-foot-11, 170 pounds. The righty stood out in his game Saturday afternoon. Benge collected 2 hits, including a line drive single, staying on the barrel all game long. He has a wide setup in the box with a slight leg kick, keeping it simple and getting the barrel to the ball. The swing is short and compact as his hands stay tight, which leads to his ability to consistently make solid contact and drive balls back up the middle. Benge was putting up quality at-bats, winning tournament MVP. He was constantly finding barrels throughout the entire tournament and helped lead his team to the Championship game. As a ‘26 Benge, will be a name to keep an eye out as recruiting continues to ramp up this year.

Drake Obermuller (2025, Iowa City, Iowa) has an athletic and loose 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame and had an all-around weekend helping lead his squad to a Championship. Obermuller made 2 appearances on the mound, showcasing a clean & fluid motion followed by a quick loose arm. He mixed in a 2-pitch mix consisting of a fastball sitting 83-85 mph and a slider sitting 72-74 mph. The slider played extremely well off the fastball with a sweeper shape. The righty fills up the zone with both pitches, able to generate contact outs with the fastball and whiffs with the slider. Obermuller also impressed with the bat this weekend. As a righty, he sets up wide and strides out with a medium-high leg kick. Explosive hands followed this with a flat bat path that was finding consistent barrels. He came in clutch in a multitude of opportunities, driving in runs and moving runners into scoring position. Obermuller was consistent all weekend with the bat and on the mound, getting outs and reaching base. The ‘25 uncommitted two-way has plenty to offer with his bat and his arm.

Wrigley Matthys (2025, Bettendorf, Iowa), a recent Kirkwood commit, is an athletic 5-foot-9, 164-pound frame that can constantly generate power. This weekend he showcased his maturity and presence in the box collecting a single and 2 walks Saturday morning, then a home run in the semi-final game. The lefty sets himself up in the back end of the box with his feet close together, then takes a stride out, ending up in a wide-set stance. Where he is able to generate consistent power is with his quick and powerful lower half. Matthys' lower-half is then followed by quick, compact hands that are consistently on time. He stays on time as everything works in the right order, which helps him generate the barrels and power he possesses. In the outfield, Matthys is a rangy defender who moves well always taking correct routes.

Austin Leander (2028, Sioux City, Iowa), a loose, projectable, 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame, impressed in his game early Sunday morning. The lefty finished the game 2-for-3, including a double and 2 RBI. He shows confidence in the box at an early age with a smooth lefty swing. He sets up with a small 2-step load, able to be consistently on time. Along with this, he is able to get full rotation with his hips, generating good power. Leander has the make-up of a loose and fluid athlete who can pose problems for opposing pitches as he continues to develop. As he continues to fill out his frame, he will be one to keep an eye out for in the class of 2028.

Garet Swartzendruber (2025, Mount Vernon, Iowa) stands at a strong 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, and had an impressive game Saturday morning. The righty went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles. Swartzendruber showed maturity in the box, showing a shortened 2-strike approach, fighting until he got a pitch he could handle. He shows rhythm at the plate and sets up with high hands in a position that creates a plat bat path, which keeps the barrel in the zone by staying tight and compact to his body. The flat bat path he creates allows him to consistently find barrels with an easy and fluid swing.

Cameron Sanarbia (2028, Algonquin, Ill.) was one of the most intriguing arms from the ’28s at the tournament. The righty stands on the mound as a 5-foot-8, 170-pound frame. Coming out of the pen Sunday afternoon, he shut the door, throwing an inning and striking out 3. Although a small sample size, Sanarbia was still able to show who he was on the mound. His fastball was sitting 75-78mph, firm out of the hand able to grab velocity as he needs it, and while he relied on this throughout his outing, there were flashes of a developing off-speed during warmups. Mechanically, Sanarbia throws from a high ¾ slot in a fluid, repeatable motion. The arm action is long and fluid. The righty also had feel for the zone, able to land strikes and get ahead of hitters constantly.

Noah Diver (2028, Dunlap, Ill.) was another intriguing arm to come out of the ‘28 class. He is a long-limbed, extremely projectable, 5-foot-11, 156-pound frame. Although command would falter at times, the righty still tossed 4 innings, striking out 4 and allowing 2 earned runs. Driver is athletic on the mound showing good movements with a fluid high kick motion, with a slight pause when he comes separated. The arm action is quick and clean, able to give late life to the ball. His fastball was sitting 75-78mph with some glove-side run, as the curveball was sitting 68-71mph, able to keep hitters off-balance.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

Perfect Game Staff

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet. 2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

California All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

The 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory for the state of California, with 18 players ranking among the top 100 in the Perfect Game national rankings. Three PG All-Americans, IF Trey Ebel, OF Isaiah Hearn and RHP Logan Georges were all edged out of places on the California All-Region Team as a result. And although the 2027 class doesn’t look as deep, it does feature three Top Six players in SS Dylan Seward, LHP Jared Grindlinger and SS Carter Hadnot. Not surprisingly, California high schools are very well represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, particularly with 2025 Trinity League champion St. John Bosco beginning the season as the top ranked team in the country. A very deep Orange Lutheran squad holds down the third spot in the rankings, with 12th ranked De La Salle being the top team from Northern California. Corona (17th),...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger

While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team. There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country. Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th. Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot. OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year. McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...
