WWBA Sophomore Scout Notes: Day 1

Ethan Jackson (2028 IF/RHP, Eustis, Fla.) showed out on both sides of the ball Friday morning. The 5-foot-11 two-way prospect started the game on the mound and proceeded to toss two hitless innings with four punchouts. He went right after hitters with his fastball, which carried well through the zone and ultimately peaked at 87 mph. The right-hander also showed feel for spinning his 12-6 curveball, locating it at the bottom of the zone for strikes. Jackson put his barrel skills on display as well, showcasing a clean and athletic operation in the box with excellent lower-half usage. The righty hitter has plenty of bat speed along with line drive tendencies to the middle of the field.



Weston Barrett (2028 SS/3B, Apopka, Fla.) had a productive day at the plate, reaching base in all three of his plate appearances. The physical 6-foot-1 switch-hitter scored twice and drove in a run on two knocks, including a loud double to center field. He showcased advanced bat-to-ball skills with line drive tendencies and effortless strength from gap to gap. Barrett offers plenty of intrigue and potential as a power hitter.

James Bacher (2028 C/MIF, Vienna, Va.) was all over the barrel on Friday, finishing 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two runs and two RBI. The 5-foot-10 righty hitter keeps his hands inside the baseball extremely well while generating easy bat speed and leverage into launch. He showcased impressive barrel skills along with a budding power tool to all parts of the diamond.


Hudson Olive (2028 3B/RHP, Madison, Ala.) tossed two quick innings and retired all six batters on strikes. The 6-foot-1 right-hander was in complete control of his fastball, which sat in the mid-80s and ultimately peaked at 88 mph. His heater showed heavy life and arm-side run as it worked the edges of the strike zone effectively. Olive also sequenced in his deep curveball which had some tilt and late biting action to it. He kept hitters mistimed as he induced a ton of empty swings in just a couple of innings on the mound. The 2028 prospect presents a lot of upside as a pitcher with more velocity to project for as he adds strength.

Fabian Olivares (2028 IF/RHP, Miami, Fla.) turned in a strong performance on the mound, tossing six dominant innings while failing to allow an unearned run. The 6-foot right-hander rendered just one hit as he induced a ton of weak contact and empty swings from his arsenal. Olivares worked his running fastball in all four quadrants of the strike zone, topping it out at 82 mph early on. He also mixed in a mid-60s curveball in two-strike counts, which proved successful at keeping hitters off-balance.

Cade Kuhlmeier (2028 OF/RHP, Parkland, Fla.) drove in four runs on two hits, proving to be a reliable bat with runners in scoring position for his team. The 6-foot-1 right-handed batter showcased a mature approach in the box with an advanced ability to manipulate the barrel in and around the strike zone. He also showed off a budding power tool that will become more and more of a weapon as he adds strength and physically matures.

Mason Greco (2028 OF/3B, Tampa, Fla.) was on the barrel all game long Friday, finishing 4-for-7 with pairs of runs & RBI through two games. The 5-foot-10 right-handed hitter swings a quick and controlled barrel with an advanced ability to spray liners to all parts of the field. He is very experienced at extending at-bats which makes his presence a nightmare for opposing pitchers. Greco has a great blend of strength and athleticism in the frame with an intriguing bag of tools on the offensive end.

-Anthony Gambardella


Austin Maiden (’28, CA) had an impressive day at the plate, leading a high-powered offense to a pair of wins on Friday. Maiden recorded four hits, including a pair of doubles and a triple, driving in three. In the box, Maiden starts with an upright and open stance, keeping the hands high behind the ear. The California native works to the barrel via a simple medium step load before firing through a quick and compact barrel that did damage to both gaps. 

Tanner Conley (’28, LA) turned in a dominant 2.2 inning start, striking out seven while failing to allow a hit or a run. The medium-framed southpaw features some length to his levers and room to fill, pointing to future projection. The Louisiana native starts with a high handset, working to the belt and into a high compact leg lift. Conley works down the mound via a short and quick arm action, releasing at a higher three-quarters slot. He showed command and conviction in a low-to-mid 80s fastball that reached 86 with jump from the hand. Conley also mixed in a two-plane slider with sharp bite and relative power, sitting around 80 mph.


Anthony Huaranga (’28, NJ) was an on-base machine during day two, getting on six times including a hard hit double while driving in four. Huaranga is a big and physical left-handed hitter with projection remaining and present impact ability. Huaranga starts even at the base and slightly coiled with the bat resting on his shoulder, working into a simple outward hovering leg load pre-launch. The New Jersey native then fires through a quick and compact barrel that flashed the ability to do damage to multiple fields. Huaranga possesses a refined approach at the plate, working deep at-bats and earning the free pass five times. 

Ty Madden (’28, NJ) put up a strong day at the plate, on-base seven times, including a double and a triple. Madden drove in a pair while accounting for five runs, also stealing a couple of bags. A medium framed left-handed swinger with athleticism, Madden starts slightly wide with low hands, working into a medium and simple leg load pre-launch. The New Jersey native then fired through a barrel that did line drive damage to all fields, using his speed to leg out extra base hits. Madden has a keen eye at the dish, drawing walks in five plate appearances on Friday.


Evan Moorhead (’28, CA) came out of the bullpen and turned in an impressive inning of work, striking out three. A medium framed right-hander, Moorhead starts below the belt before working into a shorter leg lift that he abbreviates with runners. He the works into a long reach-back arm action, releasing from a true three-quarters slot. The California native worked a lively fastball up to 87 with a run/ride movement profile, working well at the top of the zone. Moorhead mixed in a two-plane breaking ball with late horizontal bite that kept hitters off balance.

-Ryan Miller


‘28 Owen Ehrenkranz, Diamond Jacks Super 16

Dominant outing that saw everything working for him with control of the zone and snap to the slider. He works from a sidearm slot that produces 6/19 sinkers with consistency and controls it to the bottom of the zone, proving tough to lift & square while sitting in the 82-84 band and reaching 85. He showed a four seam as well that played more at the top, showing an ability to get it above the belt line with 11/15 shape. His slider flashed both two plane and sweeper-type shape, the latter being more effective in two strike counts but could land either shape and sells the release with intent and snap. It plays well off the fastball line and there is comfort going to the slider in 0-0 counts as well. It’s an athletic look at 6’3/185, with a lean look and plenty of room for additional strength gains in the future. He leverages down the slope well with an arm that gets on time and the lead leg block is clean and firm. One of the better arms in the Mid-Atlantic region right now with pitchability and put-away spin. 
 

‘28 James Fenton, Diamond Jacks Super 16

Supremely impressive from Fenton, who went the scoreless seven inning CG and punched out eleven while allowing just two hits and no walks. At 6’4/175 and just fifteen and eight, the body projection is all there with a high waist, long levers and a clean trim lean look throughout. Fenton is a good mover down the slope with good connection throughout the delivery, getting the arm on time with good hip/shoulder separation and a smooth release to finish. The fastball got up to 91-mph and sat in the upper 80’s band throughout the entire contest, touching 90-mph on multiple occasions deep in the game. The fastball played up in the zone while holding plane, showing 17-19” of vertical break per the TrackMan unit and inducing plenty of whiff at the top. He’s got a slider in the mid 70’s with sharp horizontal and presents like a true slider, working well to his glove side and hitting spots consistently. The mix was rounded off with a fading change that showed firm at times, but the shape overall was usable and in the mid 70’s band. He sold both off-speed offerings and maintained his slot. The entire operation is smooth and projectable, with plenty of present pitchability and upside. Big name in the ‘28 class. 
 

‘28 Luca Catanzarite, Diamond Jacks Super 16

Compact, proportioned frame with “baseball strength” in the hands and forearms that help produce a compact, direct linedrive stroke from the right side of the plate. He strung together quality at-bats across both games and looked comfortable seeing and handling good velocity for the age with an eye for ID’ing spin. The actions showed well at short on the dirt all day long, with good feet underneath him with foot speed indicative of a true chance to stick up the middle long-term. The glove to hand transfer was clean and the release was smooth, as throws across the diamond held their lines through the glove. Good look in the box as he lived on the barrel and handled himself well at a premium position on the dirt. 
 

‘28 Trigg Listerman, CBU 2028 Scout Team Hafner

Quick shout here for a primary listed arm… on the barrel often across both of his club’s games today with hard contact to all parts of the field. He uses a hanging trigger and engages the lower half, keeping the hands around the back shoulder before planting and firing. It’s a loose swing with good hands and an accurate barrel, creating good contact points often and attacking in advantage counts. Lots of physical projection throughout a thin 6’1 frame. Nice showing in the box.
 

‘28 Austin Baxter, South Charlotte Panthers 2028 Marucci

Smooth left-handed swing with good barrel control and natural loft to the bat path, indicative of future potential power output. Baxter looked more comfortable than anyone against an arm that was dealing in the upper 80’s all day long, driving an outer half fastball the other way for a squared up single. It’s a medium leg lift out front while the hands load to the back shoulder and stay in a good position to hit at foot strike. The wrists are loose and it’s overall a hitterish look for the underclassmen. A good follow in the coastal region with interesting power upside should more strength come into the picture. 

-Michael Albee

Cole Tucholski (2028, Quakertown, Penn.) got the start for Canes American and showed a lot to like out of the young southpaw. At 6-foot-2, 180-pounds, he’s a lean and athletic arm that projects really nicely both physically and given the ease of effort. The fastball peaked at 85 mph and lived in the low-80s, showing the ability to move the pitch around. There’s healthy shape to the breaking ball too. There was some hard contact off Tucholski but the projection here is the real draw. 

Banks Alexander (2028, Lexington, S.C.) had a good day at the plate in game one, collecting three hits including a triple. He’s a well-built prospect with really impressive bat-to-ball skills, manipulating the bat head around the zone. There are quick hands and he showed the speed on the base paths with his triple. 


Santiago Fuenmayor (2028, Duluth, Ga.) had a couple of loud barrels during Ninth Inning’s first game, a hard liner and later a home run that was a laser beam off the barrel. He’s got really impressive size at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds and showed a real skill to use the lower half in order to drive and get to balls all over the zone. The home run in particular was very impressive as the ball exploded off the bat and got out in a hurry. Power-hitting catchers are always fun profiles and Fuenmayor certainly checks those boxes. 

Evan Goodmon (2028, Winter Garden, Fla.) had a big day in the first game of the night, going 3-for-3 including an inside the park home run. He’s got great size at 6-foot-3 and there’s tons of athleticism in the batter’s box with a plethora of tools to like and project on. The bat speed is good and he can hit the ball hard to the opposite field, as he did on the inside the park home run. Hitting balls hard with frequency was Goodmon’s calling card on Friday and he certainly impressed. 

-Vinnie Cervino
 
2028 RHP Bennett Winkelfoos (Alexandria, Va.) got the ball for just 30 pitches but made the most of it as he got 5 outs, all via the strikeout, and showed things to project on. He’s a wiry 6’0/165, living in the mid-80s now with a loose and quick arm, while there’s feel for a legit slider that is both effective in getting swing-and-miss, and being an early count strike pitch. 

2028 RHP Owen Murphy (Villanova, Penn.) struggled a bit as a whole but showed a jump in stuff that makes him a must-follow in that regard. He’s big and physical with arm speed, living in the 87-90 MPH range for the most part in this look, and while the breaking ball has some room to develop, there’s good makings to it. He’ll have to refine the command, but there’s a real foundation here to be yet another interesting power arm out of the Northeast. 
 

2028 RHP Brody Racan (Swedesboro, N.J.) and 2028 RHP Carson Steingall (Nazareth, Penn.) both got starts for Artilley on Day 2 and were excellent in terms of stuff, results and both carry good projection. Racan was 82-84, filling the zone with confidence and pitching with tempo, while it’s the life to the fastball and the arm speed that most stood out. Steingall was a bit firmer at 86-88 with similar carry/life and showed some more refined secondaries with a solid breaking ball and legit changeup that he kills spin on (1066 RPMs) in the upper-70s. Everything looks right and he’s one that’s certainly trending up right now. 

2028 C Logan Arnett (Acworth, Ga.), 2028 SS Preston Hamelynck (Clearwater, Fla.), 2028 SS Ian Tseng (San Diego, Calif.), 2028 SS Alan Zimmerman (Winter Garden, Fla.) and 2028 C Ryan Heerman (Bridgewater, Mass.) were some of the offensive standouts for that Artillery group on Day 2, all contributing and showing off things to like for their long-term upside.  

Arnett got his weekend going literally right away as he hit a leadoff bomb in their first game, hanging back on off-speed and sending it out over a deep left-center wall. He’s gotten more physical and it shows in his ability to be simpler with the swing but generate a similar level of impact. Hamelynck made his presence felt with a couple extra-base hits, showing some of the better pure hand speed, which results in him creating some impact at just 5’10/155. Tseng has a really compact swing and really packs a punch with his quick hands, burning the left-fielder in both of his games for extra-bases. Zimmerman is the biggest of the group and looks the part of a guy that’ll grow into some serious power, already showing an ability to get separated and create leverage, which he did on a couple of his well-struck hits. Heerman went 4-for-5 on the day, including hitting a triple, and it’s a pretty fast bat too. 


2028 OF Keelan Zumwalt (Lees Summit, Mo.) is the top-ranked player here this weekend, and he showed why he’s so highly regarded on Day 2 with a couple of hits, and some really good swings. He looks more physical and it’s really adding to his game as he’s able to keep things simple offensively and have the strength to still hit balls hard. He found grass in right-center for a knock in his first at-bat on the day and then got his best swing off on a ball that was scorched foul that would’ve comfortably been a home run. After that swing, he kept things simple with two strikes and drove a single the other way, showing some really hitterish traits. It’s an exciting profile in terms of what’s he doing now and what the upside is. 

2028 3B/RHP Kaden Croft (Covington, La.) and 2028 RHP Clayton Moore (Virginia Beach, Va.) went against each other on the mound and there’s definitely things to like with both. Croft was mostly 83-86 with a clean and easy release, while the feel for the breaking ball definitely stood out, a pitch that has all the makings of being a swing-and-miss go-to long term. Moore is a bit bigger physically with more length to the body, and while it’s not as clean or easy of a release as Croft, he’s up to 86 and can really ride the heater from a lower release height. He’s got more developing feel for the breaking ball with a solid foundation. 

2028 C/RHP Grant Arnold (Merritt Island, Fla.), 2028 SS Bryan Mesa (Hialeah, Fla.) and 2028 C Robert Mascia (Commack, N.Y.) were all awesome in their own regard on Day 2, contributing either offensively or on both sides. Arnold hit a bomb on the day, lifting it out to right-center showing the left-handed juice he has, and also got on the mound pumping 88-90 with big life and feel for a legit slider. Mesa just casually hit 4 doubles on the day, working good at-bats and using the whole field while the impact continues to stand out. Mascia had a few hits, showing a much more synced up swing due to the added physicality he’s got from last year. It’s a really talented middle of the order that all shined right away in Fort Myers.   

2029 LHP Garrett Harper (Viera, Fla.) got an inning of work on the mound and looked great as well, living mostly 85-87 with legit arm speed and a hammer breaking ball. He’s just a freshman now, playing up this week, and looks the part as one of the better arms with a ton of upside.

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
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. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

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...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

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.
