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.

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...

Area Code Gams: Prospect Recap

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...
