2025 PG  Super Six Kickoff

Sept 12-13, 2025

Bryan, Texas


BRYAN, TX- It was a perfect weekend in Bryan, Texas to kick off the fall season. Teams got the opportunity to play a lot of games and get a gauge on their rosters. Some great softball was played and at the end of a long weekend, Athletics Mercado Futures Zito 14U took home the championship after a dominating 7-0-1 performance in their eight games. Below we highlight some of the impressive athletes that caught our scout’s eye. 






Kinley Lara (2029, Huntsville, TX) of the Athletics Mercado Futures Zito 14U was almost unhittable this past weekend. She was one of the most dominant pitchers on the weekend putting up incredible numbers. She is a strong right-handed pitcher who does a great job putting herself into good counts and has a high strikeout to innings pitched ratio. She has great break on her curve and drop and her riseball was getting hitters to chase all weekend, resulting in 32 strikeouts in her 19.2 innings pitched. Her screwball was effective, running slightly up and in on righties and overall her consistency in hitting her spots and her tight spin on her pitches led to a championship caliber weekend. Opposing hitters could only muster a .108 batting average. She also contributed on the other side of the ball, belting two singles, two doubles, and driving in six runs for her team. She finished the weekend with a leading 0.712 ERA, which demonstrated just how dominant she was. 


Melanie Chen (2026, Houston,TX) of the Hustle National Garcia 18U was phenomenal on the weekend. This right-handed hitter who generates incredible bat speed was a consistent force at the plate. She showed the ability to let the ball travel, driving the ball hard to all fields. She finished the weekend leading the team with a .667 batting average and coming in clutch with nine RBI’s. She showed great power at the plate, belting five doubles. She also impressed with heads up baserunning. 


Julianna Adams (2027, Tomball, TX) of the Cy Fair Sting 18U  was one of the most impressive athletes on the field last weekend. This athletic shortstop and hitter was on full display on both sides of the ball. Defensively, this elite middle infielder carries confidence and steadiness in the infield. She gets a great first step towards all directions, can throw the ball on the run with authority, throw from any arm slot, and has a high softball IQ. She knows when to attack the ball hard based on the speed of the ball and takes great angles on balls over her head. Offensively she led her strong offensive team in hitting on the weekend. She has an athletic stance and smooth swing and proved she can drive the ball to all fields. She finished the weekend batting .636 with a .909 slugging. She showcased both power and speed at the plate, belting five singles, a double, a triple, and stealing three bases. She plays and behaves like an elite player who does all the little things right. 


Eve Puzon (2028, Bellaire, TX) of the Hustle National Garcia 18U was impressive on both sides of the ball last weekend. This strong 3B and right-handed hitter provided consistency at the plate and steadfastness on defense. Defensively, she fielded her position well, also demonstrating the ability to attack balls in front, make quick transfers, and to stay down on well hit balls. Offensively, she showed incredible power at the plate, one-hopping a super deep fence that would have been out in most ballparks. She showed fast hands and the ability to turn on the inside pitch with authority. She finished the weekend batting an impressive .526 with a 1.268 slugging percentage. She got eight singles, a double, and a triple and came through in the clutch for her team with six RBI’s. 


Addison Sanchez (2028, Bryan, TX) of the Athletics Mercado Futures Zito 14U was a consistent force at the plate this weekend for her squad. This right-handed hitter has an athletic stance and an explosive swing. She had competitive at-bats, working counts and even drawing three walks on the weekend. She finished the weekend with a .467BA and racked up four singles, two doubles, and a triple. She came through in tough situations, driving in five runs. She put her athleticism on display, stealing four bases. She is an athletic kid who really shined bright last weekend. 


Faith Puzon (2027, Bellaire, TX) of the Hustle National Garcia 18U was one of the most exciting spark plugs to compete this weekend. In the leadoff spot, this right-handed hitter did a great job of starting innings and getting things cooking for her offense. She showed great power to the opposite field, belting multiple deep basehits over the right fielder’s head. She starts in an athletic stance and fires against a great front side resistance. She had competitive at bats and battled through counts. She has a great ability to let the ball travel and has incredible barrel awareness. 


Maycee Myers (2029, Anderson, TX) of the Athletics Mercado Futures Zito 14U was the top hitter for her championship team last weekend. She was a truly impactful player on both sides of the ball, holding it down in center field. Defensively, she showed great field awareness and was so effective at attacking any balls put in play. She showed a strong throwing arm, good range, and was just a consistent force in the outfield. Offensively, this leadoff hitter has an athletic stance and swing. She did a great job letting the ball travel, even against slower pitcher and driving the ball to all fields. She finished the weekend batting .579 with eight singles and an impressive three triples. She truly showcased her speed, stealing six bases. She has pop off the barrel and the ability to beat out infield singles. She was one of the most impressive and versatile athletes to compete this past weekend.


Yanelli Contreras (2027, Pearland, TX) of the Hustle Premier 16U was a steady force behind the plate for her squad last weekend and was impressive in the batter’s box as well. We have seen incredible growth in this athlete since first laying eyes on her early in the summer. Behind the plate she has a strong presence and good game awareness. Her framing has improved dramatically and she was effective at getting borderline pitches called her way. She is a strong communicator and is showing more maturity behind the plate. Offensively, she has a strong stance with some solid power potential. She finished the weekend with a .385 batting average and showed some pop, belting two doubles. She came in clutch, driving in three runs for her squad. 


Madison Boswell (2026, Spring, TX) of the Cy Fair Sting 18U had a great weekend for her team, playing a steady first base, on the mound, and in the batter’s box. This strong left-handed player finished the weekend batting an impress .625 racking up five hits in eight at-bats. She showed her patience at the plate, drawing four walks. She played a solid first base and got two wins for her team on the mound. 


Rylee Hanson (2027, Huntsville, TX) of the Cy Fair Sting 18U was a lights out contributor to her team over the weekend. She led the team in RBI’s with nine and finished the weekend batting .500. Hanson is a tall and strong right-handed hitter and player and is a steady force in the lineup. Rylee also holds it down behind the plate, using a strong glove for framing and showing good mobility and hustle. 


Riley Holik (2029, Damon, TX) of the Hustle Premier 16U was a standout player last weekend. She is small, but athletic second baseman who was steady and consistent for her team on defense. She takes great angles on balls and covers ground well with a quick first step. She has high softball IQ and is fun to watch. Offensively, this right-handed hitter was the definition of consistency for her team. She has great barrel awareness and was effective at driving the ball where it was pitched.

Marley Alonzo (2028, Conroe, TX) of the AF 16U HTX Academy Carlson was impressive last weekend. Our scout saw her drive a monster shot to the left-center gap. She has a strong front side resistance and she does a great job of firing her back side with violence. She has great balance throughout her swing and has next level barrel awareness. She has a very athletic stance and swing and provides some potent power in the lineup. 


Cylee Thomas (2028, College Station, TX) of the AF Brazos Valley Gold 16U was impressive on both sides of the ball this past weekend. This strongly built right-handed pitcher and hitter contributed in many ways to her squad. We saw her on the mound throwing a tight-spinning curveball and popping the glove. At third base she held it down with solid glove work and a strong overhand throw. She has made great improvements in her footwork on the corner and we saw that in play during the weekend. Offensively, she is a dangerous hitter with big power potential. She creates fantastic barrel whip and when she connects her barrel to the ball, it goes hard and far.

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...
