Perfect Game Staff

Steve Doherty

Gabriel Sabilona (2026, Centerhill, FL) had a monster showing on day two, collecting an astounding six hits with a pair of triples and seven runs driven in. The uncommitted infielder features a lean frame with quality strength throughout. A simple operation is shown at the plate, using a heel raise timing mechanism into a clean path through the zone. Sabilona controls the barrel extremely well and can get to tough pitches. A sound approach allows for hard contact to be sprayed to all fields. There is some power present with more likely to come down the line. 

Isaac Valencia (2026, Buckeye,  AZ) put together a multi-hit game on day two and has collected three hits over the first two days of action. The uncommitted outfielder features a lean, athletic build with plenty of strength present. At the plate, a fluid left-handed swing consistently finds the barrel. There is plenty of strength at contact and good length out front. Valencia has run-producing traits that allow him to profile well in the middle of the order. 




Logan Grubbs (2027, Las Vegas, NV) drove in six runs and collected a pair of extra base hits on day two, including a loud home run to the pull side. The left-handed hitting outfielder features a projectable, high-waisted frame with some strength at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. In the box, Grubbs gathers well on the backside before firing the barrel with intent. Leverage gets created and allows for strong impact at contact. The power plays well to the pull side and should only continue to develop as the frame fills out further. 

Keyen Marquez (2027, Carefree, AZ). reached base multiple times and put together quality at-bats consistently. The uncommitted outfielder features a compact build with plenty of strength present. Marquez shows a balanced operation from the left side with some rhythm to the swing. A direct path to contact features quality hand speed, allowing for impact off the barrel. It is an intriguing skill set overall with some run-producing traits. 

Connor Chapa (2027, Phoenix, AZ) put together a strong day at the plate on day two, collecting a pair of hits with a double to the pull side gap. Chapa features a lean 6-foot-0, 185-pound frame with plenty of athleticism present. A simple operation at the plate gathers well on the backside. A clean path to contact controls the barrel well. Chapa is consistently on the barrel and produces hard contact often. There are intriguing offensive skills present with a history of performing. 

Brent Sollars (2026, Phoenix, AZ) has reached base five times over the first two days of action. The uncommitted outfielder features a lean build with a mix of athleticism and strength present. A simple operation stays balanced at the plate. There is some hand speed present on a direct path to contact. Sollars continues to add strength, allowing for some impact off the barrel. A patient approach also allows Sollars to work deep into counts and draw walks at a high rate. On the bases, Sollars has also stolen a pair of bases. It is a well-rounded offensive skill that can impact games in a multitude of ways.

Carson Lockman, RHP, Lake Havasu City, AZ. Marucci Athletics Thomas (2026)
Presents a projectable frame at 6'5", 220 pounds, with a build that suggests significant room for further physical development. His tall, broad-shouldered physique is ideal for a pitcher, offering a foundation for increased velocity as he matures. Lockman's delivery is characterized by a smooth, repeatable motion that generates a good downward plane on his pitches. His arm action is clean, and he maintains good balance throughout his delivery, which contributes to his ability to command the strike zone effectively. Posted a 5-inning performance where he allowed 3 hits, 4 walks, and struck out 8 batters on 82 pitches.


Hunter Iverson, SS/RHP, Las Vegas, NV. Wow Factor, NV (2026)
Showcased a polished pitching repertoire with his fastball touching 89 mph. Iverson's ability to mix in a curveball and slider was particularly noteworthy, with the slider proving to be a dominant pitch, often resulting in swing and miss outcomes. His curveball, while slightly less frequent, complemented his arsenal effectively, adding depth to his pitch selection. Over 6 innings, Iverson allowed only 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 8 batters. Iverson's combination of velocity, pitch variety, and command makes him a player to watch closely as he progresses through his high school career.


Devin Martin, SS, Las Vegas, NV. Wow Factor, NV (2026)
Demonstrates a promising offensive profile, highlighted by his ability to square up pitches effectively, as evidenced by his hard-hit single. His 1-for-2 performance at the plate suggests a solid contact rate and the potential for consistent production. Martin's athleticism and tools indicate he could develop into a reliable hitter with further refinement of his approach and swing mechanics.


Keona Barraza, C/RHP, Honolulu, HI. Pono Baseball (2029)
Showcased his potential as a pitcher. His performance in relief was particularly notable, contributing to a combined no-hitter by working 3.1 innings, allowing no hits, and striking out 7 batters. Barraza's ability to make 86 mph look effortless with an athletic delivery suggests a promising future in baseball. As he continues to develop, Barraza could become a significant asset for his high school team and beyond, with the possibility of excelling as either a reliever or starter.


Cayden Hammond, RHP/1B, Gilbert, AZ. Swarm Red Elite National (2026)
A promising talent with a strong offensive profile, particularly his power tool. Hammond's swing mechanics are efficient, with a balanced stance and quick bat speed that allow him to generate significant barrel whip. His hand-eye coordination is evident, as he consistently makes solid contact, driving the ball with authority to the outfield. Continued development in his defensive skills and overall game will be key to his success at the collegiate level and beyond. He’s committed to BYU.


Blake Ramos, 3B, Vista, CA. CBA Victus San Diego (2029)
Ramos showcases an impressive power stroke for his age, as evidenced by this no-doubt homerun. His ability to generate significant bat speed and loft suggests a natural aptitude for hitting for power, a rare trait among players so young. Ramos's swing mechanics appear fluid, with a clear understanding of how to leverage his body to maximize contact and distance. This power potential is particularly notable, where such displays are often precursors to future success at higher levels.
 

Jackson McAneeley, C, Kailua, HI. Pono Baseball (2029)
Has a promising offensive skill set that belies his age. His ability to generate significant power is evident, where he short-hopped the left-center field wall for a triple, demonstrating both intent and over the fence power potential.  McAneeley's swing mechanics are fluid, with a noticeable intent to drive the ball, which is crucial for a catcher who must contribute offensively. His physical stature and athleticism suggest a high ceiling for power development as he matures.


Jaxon Kalish, C, Los Angeles, CA. West Coast Red Sox (2029)
Stands at 6'2" and weighs 180 lbs. Ranked as the #8 catcher in the state of Hawaii. He demonstrates a powerful hitting approach and solid defensive skills behind the dish. Kalish’s stand-up triple underscores his bat speed and contact quality. His approach at the plate appears disciplined, with a keen eye for the strike zone. Kalish’s performance highlights his potential as a top-tier prospect with a projectable frame that could translate well to the high school and collegiate levels. 

-Steve Doherty


Cooper Shrum (2026, Belton, MO) possesses an explosive swing and a highly productive bat. The 6-foot-6 left-handed hitter consistently drives the ball to all fields with power. One of the strongest hitters I’ve seen in this WWBA West tournament, Shrum has recorded at least one extra-base hit per game, including a crushed solo home run on Day 2. He shows smooth bat extension without over swinging, with a clean swing path and optimal launch angle. His clear approach at the plate allows him to remain consistent and dangerous in every at-bat. A true nightmare for opposing pitchers, he can hit high velocity and well-located breaking balls with confidence. 

Ben Graves (2026, Lawrence, KS) has delivered a consistent performance both at shortstop and at the plate. He shows excellent plate discipline with a low whiff rate, rarely chasing or missing pitches. Graves tends to make contact on pitches close to the zone, producing line drives and consistently finding gaps through the infield into the outfield. An athletic player and high on-base percentage contributor, he fits well to bat at 2nd for the Royal Scout Team 2026. Defensively, he has a fringe glove with quick footwork and solid reactions on ground balls, paired with good arm accuracy across the diamond. Currently ranked the No. 5 shortstop in the state of Kansas.

Brayden Davidson (2026, Liberty, MO) had a tremendous Day 1 outing, tossing three scoreless, no-hit innings with five strikeouts. He sat 84-88 mph with his fastball, touching 89, and paired it with a high-quality 69-76 mph curveball that generated plenty of swings and misses. Davidson tunnels both pitches well, with the breaking ball showing late movement close to the plate. He demonstrated strong command, consistently locating on the edges of the strike zone. With a loose, clean arm action and strong hip-shoulder separation, he shows mechanics built for durability and long-term development. There’s significant upside here, Davidson already flashes advanced feel for spin and has plenty of room to refine his mechanics and expand his arsenal. A high ceiling arm with real breaking ball talent at the next level.


Troy Fisher (2026, Liberty, MO) struck out four batters over three innings without allowing an earned run. He sat 85–88 mph with his fastball, topping out at 89 mph, showing high spin rates and late life. Fisher also featured a sharp, low-angle slider with a high whiff rate, making him a strong starter in his Day 2 outing. The 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher and shortstop displays explosive power on both sides of the game. He attacks hitters with a quick tempo and confident rhythm, effectively mixing his arsenal to keep them off balance. Defensively, Fisher shows athleticism and arm strength, with steady fielding ability and strong instincts that help limit baserunners. A definite high-follow prospect, above average two-way player in this tournament.

Nic Sabers (2026, Lenexa, KS) showcased his power at the plate during his Day 1 outing, going 2-for-2 with a double and posting the highest OPS (1.667) on the Royals Scout Team 2026. A 6-foot-4, strong right-handed slugger, Sabers has serious potential to continue growing into his frame and adding even more power. He generates loud contact with a quick bat, using efficient mechanics, coordinating quick hands, lower-half torque, and timing with his stride. His advanced contact skills and consistent swing path make him a dangerous presence in the lineup. Already proving his ability to perform at a high level, Sabers is a must-follow prospect in the 2026 class.

Garrett Jacobs (2026, Manhattan Beach, CA) impressed on the mound with a powerful, well-rounded arsenal. The right-handed pitcher sat 86-89 mph with his fastball, topping out at 90 mph, showing late life and acceleration through the zone. He paired it with a sharp 74-76 mph slider that tunnels well off the fastball, along with a 73-75 mph curveball that induced plenty of groundouts. Jacobs features clean, complete mechanics from an athletic leg kick through a strong, efficient release. He works with a quick tempo and shows confidence in attacking the strike zone without hesitation. With a durable build and advanced feel for sequencing, Jacobs projects as a high-upside arm with strong development potential at the next level.

Cameron Cobb (2027, Manhattan Beach, CA) is a 6-foot-1 catcher for the West Coast Red Sox who went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs, helping lead his team to victory. He shows quick wrists and a compact, explosive bat path that allows him to drive the ball hard to the pull side. Cobb can also go the other way with authority, though he’s not a pure long-swing power hitter. With strong plate discipline, low strikeout and chase rates, he’s a reliable and productive presence in the lineup. Behind the plate, Cobb demonstrates leadership qualities, managing pitchers effectively and showing a strong understanding of game strategy. He possesses solid arm strength, good blocking ability, and quick pop times with accurate throws. Already showing a well-developed frame, Cobb projects well as a high-level catcher as he continues to refine his skills and make adjustments.

Devin Schuster (2026, Folsom, CA) delivered an impressive two-way performance in his Day 1 outing. He went 3-for-3 at the plate with 3 RBIs and a double, and also threw two scoreless innings to secure the win for BPA Black. On the mound, Schuster topped out at 85 mph with his fastball and showcased a big-breaking curveball that generated three strikeouts. An athletic and agile player, Schuster makes both hitting and pitching look effortless. When not on the mound, he plays as a middle infielder, showing quick instincts and versatility. Offensively, he displays excellent bat-to-bat adjustments and a high baseball IQ, able to respond quickly to challenges and contribute through hard work and consistency. Batting second in the lineup, Schuster brings leadership traits and steady production, making him a key asset for his team.

-Paul Huang
 
Jack Scully (‘26, Scottsdale, AZ) filled up the zone in his outing, attacking hitters with confidence. He showed solid velocity from a tall over-the-top delivery, creating a tough angle downhill. The fastball sat 83–86 mph and topped at 88 mph, paired effectively with a curveball to generate weak contact. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, Scully’s size and pitch mix make him a tough look on the mound.

Luis Mejia (‘26, Phoenix, AZ) started off the week with a double in the gap and continues to find the barrel consistently. Smooth and mature swing with quick hands through the zone, staying balanced throughout. Also showed range and a strong arm in the infield, making plays from second base with ease. Athletic 5-foot-11, 176-pound frame with more to come as he develops.

Vinny Noble (‘26, Paradise Valley, AZ) took a pitch deep to left field for a home run to extend the lead. Shows a powerful swing and consistently catches the ball out in front with authority. Put together quality at-bats throughout the game. Athletic behind the plate, works hard defensively with smooth actions. Stands at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds and should add more power as his frame fills out.

Owen McGuire (‘26, Phoenix, AZ) came in to close and delivered an impressive outing, sitting 86–89 mph and topping out at 91 mph. His fastball jumps out of hand with life, and he mixes in a sharp slider that keeps hitters off balance. McGuire attacks the zone with confidence, getting ahead early in counts and forcing weak contact. His arm action is quick and whippy, and he moves well down the mound with a controlled, athletic delivery. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, he has a projectable build with more in the tank as he continues to develop.

Jose Borrego (‘26, Apple Valley, CA) worked well on the mound with four shutout innings, allowing zero hits and keeping hitters off balance throughout. His fastball sat 85–88 mph and topped at 90 mph, showing life out of the hand and riding through the zone. Borrego also featured a sharp, well-commanded slider that he used effectively in all counts. He moves maturely down the mound with a fluid, repeatable delivery. At 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, there's room for more velocity could come as he continues to develop physically.

Matthew Herrera (‘27, Eastvale, CA) is a left-handed hitter who made his presence felt early in the tournament. He consistently found the barrel with multiple hard-hit balls, including several extra-base hits and RBI’s to lead off the weekend. Hitting out of the cleanup spot, Herrera delivered in key moments and showed advanced bat-to-ball skills. At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, he brings strength and impact to the middle of the order and continues to be a run-producing threat.

Kaleb Weaver (‘26, Kaysville, UT), the No. 1 ranked RHP in Utah for his class, impressed with a strong outing on the mound. His fastball sat 85-88 mph and touched 91 mph, showing life through the zone. He paired it with an effective slider that featured late horizontal break, keeping hitters off balance. Weaver showed confidence and composure throughout his appearance, working comfortably in the zone and challenging hitters. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound BYU commit continues to show why he’s one of the top arms in the region.

Sullivan Conlin (‘26, Stillwater, MN) showcased a lengthy, projectable build and worked with confidence through five strong innings on the mound. His fastball topped out at 93 mph and sat comfortably in the 87-89 mph range, creating tough angles up in the zone. He paired it with a sharp 12-6 curveball that came in at 77-81 mph, effectively keeping hitters off balance. Conlin showed good command of both pitches and maintained a repeatable, fluid follow-through throughout his outing. The right-hander's mound presence and velocity make him an exciting arm to follow.

Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend.
