National Select Scout Notes: Days 4-5

Isaiah Burrows
Geoff Billock
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. 

-Isaiah Burrows
 

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.

Finest in the Field: Class of 2030
Jheremy Brown

The youngest of the classes that we'll look at for the best defenders in the country, this group is loaded with guys that play the game well better than what their age says. From athleticism to arm strength, it's quite impressive what these guys can do already. C Jhunior Jose Cordero (Boca Raton, Fla.) Cordero has all the traits imaginable behind the dish including elite strength and athleticism in his 5-foot-10 160-pound frame. The switch-hitting catcher came in at No. 3 nationally in the recently updated class of 2030 rankings. He has been clocked at 1.91 sec from home to second base with legitimate arm strength up to 78 mph. With advanced abilities at every position, the primary backstop Cordero is simply a special talent on the defensive side of the ball. He has tons of quickness in his hands and lower-half, which allows for fast and fluid transfers behind the plate. Cordero’s...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things.  C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag. Add-in a rocket for an arm, the ability to change slots and to...

Scout Stories: Part 5

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...

College Notebook: December 12

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Highlights: The Cornhuskers were a difficult team to figure in ’25 as they finished with 33 wins, played just .500 (15-15) in the Big Ten but had some big wins at various times during the season and got hot at the right time. They knocked off then #16 Vanderbilt in the second game of the year, beat #5 Oregon State 2-out-of-3 at home in late March and then got hot at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to win the Big Ten Tournament. They beat Michigan State in a 10-inning thriller before taking care of #4 Oregon, knocking off Penn State and then shutout #13 UCLA to punch their ticket to the Chapel Hill Regional. Head coach Will Bolt has now led his alma mater to three conference titles and three NCAA Regional appearances during his six years in Lincoln. No different than when he was a player, Bolt’s teams play with passion and toughness, this was never more...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 You like athletes? You like defenders who can impact a game at any given point? Look not further than this class as it's loaded from coast-to-coast with elite defenders all over the diamond.  C: Brogan Witcher, Bakersfield, CA Our scouting staff got several strong looks at Witcher whether that was at the Summer Kickoff, Sophomore National or the Underclass All American Games where he showcased his strong overall skillset and especially his advanced ability behind the plate. His 6-foot-3,180 pound build looks like one that will fill in quite nicely and be that big and physical catcher’s frame. His arm talent is undeniable where he gets it out quick and runs it up to 79 mph on throwdowns to 2nd (1.84 pop). Besides the standout catch/throw ability, we’ve seen him frame/receive strong arms and block it well during...

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division. We would like to thank those that donated a toy, and know that they will be distributed to area underprivileged children through a local charity organization. Following are some of the top performers from the weekend. Earning Tournament MV-Pitcher was Jolee Strohmeyer (2026 Dubuque, IA), a RHP/UTIL with tournament champion Lady Expos Blue. Strohmeyer shows hitters a consistent and repeatable motion and delivery with good use of the legs in the drive phase, and a quick and aggressive arm whip. Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement  as she worked her rise and curve just out...

Scout Notes: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Best Game I Saw: Hudson Reed (‘26, GA) torches this ball to deep CF for a solo 💣. Generates easy power that plays to the big part of the yard. Middle of the order traits #UBCWest @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/UXqDVFmUBx — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) June 18, 2025 I was fortunate enough to see a lot of highly competitive games with loads of talent on the field, the game that sticks out to me the most was Alpha Prime 2026 vs. ZT National Prospects at the UBC West. The game was an efficiently played affair with arms dominating on both sides. Graham Schlicht was masterful for Alpha, striking out 12 hitters over 5 dominant innings. PG All-American Julian Cazares came out of the pen blowing smoke, touching 97 mph with the fastball. On the other side, Jake Carbaugh surrendered just one hit and...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2027

AJ Denny

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 Elite defenders from coast to coast certainly seems to be a strength and to think you could make another top-tier team without thinking, speaks to the real depth this group possesses. The infield is a no-doubt strength of the group, but what catcher Dariel Carrion can do behind the plate is like something we haven't seen in a while in the prep ranks with an absolutely bazooka of an arm.  C: Dariel Carrion (San Juan, PR)  It isn’t often you get a catching prospect as athletic and natural as Dariel Carrion, a big reason why he holds the rank of #1 player in PR and #18 nationally. Metrics wise, the 5-foot-10, 210 pound San Juan native is all you can ask for and more, posting a sub 1.80 pop time with an 84 mph arm behind the dish. He has both contact and clear power threat on the offensive end, ending 2025 with a .337 BA and 4 HRs while also...

The Class of 2026 is one of the deeper prep classes that we have seen in a couple of years. With that being said, there is plenty of talent on the defensive side. Let’s take a look at some of the best defenders in the class.  C: Will Brick, Christian Brothers HS (Memphis, TN) Brick is a newcomer to the class after reclassifying, but immediately became the top backstop. Extremely advanced actions are shown behind the dish with impressive athleticism to go with it. Brick showcases big time arm strength and is consistently accurate on throw downs. He can make playing the position look extremely easy at times. Brick possesses all the defensive tools needed to be a premier catcher.  1B: AJ Curry, University City HS (San Diego, CA) Curry has a bigger and stronger frame with good strength throughout. He has a well-proportioned build that serves him well on the dirt. He’s...
