National Select Scout Notes: Days 4-5

National Select Scout Notes: Days 1-3

Samuel Kennedy (2027, Shavano Park, Texas) can flat out hit. He’s a strong-bodied middle infielder with some real bat-to-ball skill from the left side. He went gap-to-gap in the semis and is more than willing to take an outer-half offering right where it’s given. He’s a solid defender up the middle and showed an adjustable arm slot at short, and the contact skill can really project in the class.

Luke Cody (2027, Lumberton, Texas) went off in the semis and championship after already hitting a good bit throughout the week. He pulled a ball into the parking lot in left, a few rows deep which is quite noteworthy. He really leans in on mistakes and doesn’t get cheated, combined with some solid athleticism out in center. His ability was on full display this week. 



Broc Burns (2026, Keller, Texas) closed things out showing a real live arm that flirted into the low-90s and jumped out of the hand. He lived 86-88 mph and has a real loose arm with some feel for a mid-70s slider. A very mobile mover and quality athlete, Burns comes equipped with some big upside on the bump. 

Keep a close eye on Lucas Herron (2026, Cypress, Texas) as the stuff doesn’t jump up but the unique release height really stands out. He’s a super lanky lefty with a good 25-30 pounds left in store throwing from an awfully low three-quarter slot with a fastball in the high-70s and some feel for a two-plane breaking ball. He needs strength to really show but the ingredients can really pop. 

Caligan Isley (2027, Boerne, Texas) a really good athlete who sprayed the barrel all weekend. He can play up the middle and fit several roles, from second base or short to a look in center field potentially. He has a real solid contact skill with a short swing that is geared for pull and plenty of hand speed. The traits here are big and he stood out.

David Djurisic (2027, Spring, Texas) showed well on both sides of the ball all throughout the week. A workhorse behind the dish, has the athleticism and frame to stick there but can play all over. He can really catch and throw from a quick transfer and release. Good hands back there and certainly looks the part. At the plate, Djurisic went nuclear going 6-13 on the week and power showed up big time. He went yard twice, one of them coming in a big moment during the playoffs that gave his team the lead late in the game. It’s a compact and physical frame that has gotten stronger throughout the year and it is quite evident. He is starting to really get into balls now and can turn on them with authority. Power is showing up in game and the swing gets a ton of separation allowing him to impact with ease. Should be a name to key in on this summer and will be busy once August rolls around.  

Luke Williams (2026, New Braunfels, Texas) was dominant throughout his outing and filled it up as he went the distance tossing a complete game shutout across 7 frames. He struck out 9 batters and only allowed 2 walks and 2 hits. Lean and athletic 6-foot-6 frame high waisted with long limbs and room to fill out. Fastball worked in the 82-87 range with good life to it. He can sink it low in the zone but also showed good carry to it when elevated. Went to a change often as his best secondary in the 76-78 range and really sells it with big time drop. Comes out of the hand easy and mimics. Curve flashed at 67-68 but will need more polish as he tends to overthrow it at times. Expect an uptick in velo as he continues to fill out. The frame has a big amount of projection remaining and overall arm action works well. No reason for Williams to remain uncommitted as we kick off the summer circuit.  


Blake Bader (2027, San Antonio, Texas) was a big standout all throughout the week and took home MVP honors of the tournament. He finished the event going 8-16 that included 3 no-doubters all to the pull-side. He was an absolute barrel machine and really turned it on in the playoffs when it mattered the most. Corner outfield type guy with a strong arm from an athletic 5-foot-11 frame. Power plays to the pull-side mainly but has ability to go with it the other way. Uses a weight rock back and stride into contact from an uphill swing path that looks to launch balls with impact. He always seemed to be on the barrel and don’t see it slowing down at all. Bader is in for a big summer and should be a name to keep tabs on all throughout.    

Jackson Marshall (2026, Montgomery, Texas) off to a hot start this summer to open up. He went 8-14 on the week with 4 walks and 8 stolen bases batting atop the order. Marshall stands in at 6-foot-0 from an uber athletic frame. He has tools that play well to his strengths and knows how to use them. He works the count and always seems to be on base whether that be via walk or base-hit. He has the swing to spray it all over line to line and can leg out the infield hit every now and then. Instincts on the bases stand out as well as in the outfield. He gets excellent reads out there roaming centerfield as good as anyone. The bat to ball ability has looked good and really is starting to turn the corner on that end. He should be a big follow this summer.  

Colby Clinkscales (2025, Buffalo Gap, Texas) had a really good week going 4-10 with 8 walks. Came away impressed with his overall approach and plate discipline batting atop the order. He works the count and will get on base from a short lefty swing that works line to line spraying it all over. Contact approach and bat to ball stood out. Athletic 5-foot-11 frame and can fill out more. Looked good out at short with fluid actions and moves well. Clinkscales is currently committed to Ranger College.  

Brady Moore (2026, Flower Mound, Texas) had a solid week on both sides of the ball for Dallas Tigers. He went 4-12 with a double and homerun. Moore stands in at 6-foot-0 from a lean and athletic frame. He manned centerfield and did it well. Has the instincts and speed to play anywhere in the outfield. In the box, it’s a simplified process in which he rocks the weight back taking a small stride into contact. Ability to leverage and catch the ball out front stood out. Impact is clearly there when he is on it. His swing works well to the pull-side with power especially. Swing path is generally short and direct to the ball which helps with his ability to be on the barrel consistently. Moore is currently uncommitted and should be a high follow this summer.  

Jonnell Rodriguez (2027, Spring, Texas) is another lead-off type profile who didn’t necessarily have the loudest week when looking at the box score, but certainly stood out. The plate discipline continues to impress paired with his bat to ball ability, should keep him atop the order in any lineup. He has above average speed and causes havoc on the base-paths. He doesn’t chase and swing and miss is simply put, not part of his game. He was on the barrel with not much to show for it but still got on base plenty. Watching his at-bats, you can tell that he has a sound approach and knows his role in the lineup. Always looking to get on base and take the extra bag. He will get good jumps and reads off pitchers allowing him to consistently steal bags with ease. He manufactured runs a bunch and just sets his team up to win in a positive way. Rodriguez is a ballplayer with baseball instincts all around and should be picking up plenty of steam come August.  

Troy Gonzalez (2027, Pasadena, Texas) had a loud week with the bat and turned it on in the playoffs when it mattered most. He finished the week going 5-14 with 4 doubles. Gonzalez has a compact and physical frame and the power to pull-side is very real. He can turn on anything with the utmost authority. Ability to stay on the barrel and get on plane when he gets his pitch stood out. His at-bats got better as the week went on and once he got his timing down it was game over for the other team. He can impact the game strongly with his bat and it’s only a matter of time until those doubles start carrying over the fence. Power certainly projects here.

Following a jam-packed week of entertainment at the 17u WWBA Championships, the top nationally ranked program, USA Prime 17u National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team, faced off against Stacked Baseball 17u (No. 80 nationally) in the highly anticipated championship matchup as both teams looked to earn one of the most prestigious titles in all of travel baseball.

Every team hopes to start a tournament with momentum, but few make a statement quite like Texas Twelve Maroon 2028. Matched up against defending champion Excel Blue Wave National to kick off their debut in the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, Texas Twelve Maroon delivered a complete team performance, earning a hard-fought 3-2 victory and immediately establishing themselves as one of the top teams to watch this week. The win showcased the balance that has made Texas Twelve Maroon a powerful team. Strong pitching, timely hitting, and steady defense all played a role as the team held off one of the tournament’s premier programs. Right-hander Ty Antley turned in an outstanding performance on the mound, throwing a complete game while allowing only five hits and two walks over seven innings. The High Follow prospect worked consistently between 85-89 mph and mixed in a sharp...

Flames Capture 18U BCS Title

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Fresh off a state championship for Bading High School, he has picked up where he has left off this spring. It seems that he gets bigger each time I see him, but the frame really works on both sides of the ball at 6-feet, 190-pounds. It’s athletic and the actions on both sides are extremely advanced. Sawyer took home MVP honors after finishing with nine hits, six going for extra bases including two home runs, nine RBIs and eight runs scored. It’s electric at...

With the start of July comes the start of the 2026 PG National Showcase. Running for five days, the best of the Class of 2027 will come together in Miami’s LoanDepot Park to update their metrics and show their progress in game situations against top-tier talent.  45 out of the top-50 players in the class of 2027 will be in attendance - including all top-5 players, Dylan Seward, Chase Fuller, Kinon Bastian, Connor Salerno and Carter Hadnot.  Vice president of scouting operations at Perfect Game, Jered Goodwin, said the fact that so many of the top-ranked guys have prioritized this event is telling.

Noah Harris (2028, Savannah, Ga.) has been swinging it well for CBU down in Hoover, driving in seven runs on three hits through just two days of action. He has a single, double, triple and three runs scored across a couple of games. The 6-foot-3 lefty hitter uses a consistent timing mechanism in the box with excellent leverage generated at impact, oftentimes from gap to gap. He wears a lean athletic build with plenty of projection and plus speed that makes him a serious threat on the basepaths. Harris has proven that he can hit for contact and power at the plate, making for a tough out against any arm. #Uncommitted ‘28 Evan Hedlund (AZ) pitching lights out for @ShowTime_Select; 7 Ks thru 3 IP thus far.

"Why not us?" Canes MW Take 14u WWBA

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Every championship team has an identity. For Canes Midwest 14U National, it could be summed up in three simple words. "Why not us?" That became the team’s motto throughout the week, and by championship day, the players had turned those words into reality. Canes Midwest capped off a memorable tournament with a 8-4 victory over Canes National 14U, finishing an undefeated 11-0 run over six days while proving they belonged among the nation’s top teams. It was a championship built on timely hitting, dominant defense, relentless grit, and a belief that never wavered. For Coach Steiner, the title represented far more that simply winning another tournament. “It has been an unbelievable experience for us,” Steiner said. “Some people call us a mid-major, so I guess we are now solidified as being one of the top programs in the country.” That belief carried the...
