JUCO Notebook: February 27

Troy Sutherland

Jay Vossler

Carson Bailey (2024, Richardson, Texas) worked up to 97 with his fastball out the gate and lived 95-96 throughout his short burst outing. Fastball got up to 2500 RPM showing subtle tail at times. It plays firm and gets in on hitters quick. Locates fastball well at times. He went to a change in the 85-88 range as his bread and butter secondary killing spin with good dive. Change produced 5 whiffs. He also mixed in a slider in the 80-85 getting upwards of 2500 RPM with it. Slider tight and sharp when around it. Also flashed a curve at 79. Bailey stands in at 6-foot-3 from a deceptive delivery that creates tough angles for hitters. He should be a big follow throughout the Spring with plenty of draft buzz surrounding him. He is also the Number 1 Juco prospect on the PG Juco board and currently uncommitted.  


Logan Harris (2024, Kingwood, Texas) is another arm for McLennan that showed well in his relief appearance out of the bullpen. The 6-foot-2 DBU commit worked 89-92 with his fastball getting upwards of 2500 RPM with it showing late life and good arm side run from a quick and loose arm. He went to a slider in the 76-78 range getting upwards of 2650 RPM showing sweeper traits played sharp with bite. Also flashed a change here and there in the 78-81 range as a third offering. Change played firm more than anything. All 3 pitches move in different directions which makes for an uncomfortable at-bat in general. Looks like DBU got a good one here and should have a strong season for McLennan.  




Holden Hering (2025, Mineral Wells, Texas) was solid off the bump for Weatherford in his outing and left a lot on the table to be liked. He opened up 96-98 with his fastball getting upwards of 2600 RPM and settled 94-95 working to all quads of the zone. It’s a lively fastball that comes out easy from an athletic 6-foot-5 frame. Fastball gets good carry up with life and produced a ton of late swings. Change was 82-85 and kill spin while also getting up to 20 inches of horizontal break. Slider was 83-85 getting up to 2600 RPM with and curve was 78-82 getting up to 2500 RPM. Herring has all the ingredients to be a highly effective arm with a ton of upside. He will need to harness in his off-speed command and control moving forward and once he does that, his fastball will play much better than it already does. Until he maximizes his off-speed stuff, hitters will be able to sit fastball. Herring has all the ingredients here and will look to be more consistent throughout the season. He is also committed to Arkansas.  
 
Talan Barraza (2024, Alburquerque, New Mexico) was impressive in this lone look on both sides of the ball. Barraza is an athletic short stop who certainly looks the part out there. He moves well with lateral range and made some nice plays from there. He showed excellent bat to ball ability with a strong all fields approach with sneaky pop off the barrel. Swing is compact with good bat speed. Barraza was on the barrel often in this look and should have a good year for New Mexico Juco.  

Brody Chyr (2024, Parker, Colorado) showed a sound approach in this lone look for McLennan baseball going line to line and showing a good 2-strike approach. He works the count well and shortens up when needed. He can go line to line with authority and moves well on both sides of the ball. It’s a short lefty swing that plays well to his strengths. He should be a consistent force within the McLennan lineup all year. Chyr is currently committed to Nebraska.  

Colin Roos (2023, Sandpoint, Idaho) dominant outing going 5 shutout innings against a loaded Weatherford lineup. Fastball worked 88-91 playing firm and located well all throughout his outing. He went to a change in the low-80s often commanding it well and mixing it in. Also dropped in a breaking ball in the 78-79 range. He located well all game and kept hitters off balance. Roos is currently uncommitted and should have plenty of upside at the next level. A strike thrower who mixes well and gets outs.  

Jackson Irons (2024, Arlington, Texas) has some of the best power in all of Juco and showed that in this lone look when he went deep to straight away right field. It was an absolute moon shot that just kept on carrying out. He handles velo well and can go to all fields with absolute authority coming off his barrel different. It’s a physical 6-foot-6 frame with an elite power projection. He is now batting .390 to open up the young season while slugging 7 home runs. He is on an absolutely torrid pace for power. Irons is currently uncommitted and is one of the best power bats still on the market.  

Cayden Byrd (2024, Burleson, Texas) is off to an impressive start to open up the season. Hitting for average and power, Byrd is batting .351 and has slugged 5 home runs. It’s an athletic 6-foot-1 frame with one of the smoother lefty swings you will find in Juco. He controls the at-bat and has some serious pull-side power. The swing stays well connected all throughout and can really lift and launch ball with authority. He profiles well in the outfield as a middle of the order bat who can do a number of things. He is currently committed to Texas State and should make an immediate impact once getting there.  

Kade Gambill (2022, Alpine, Utah) has been on the barrel a ton to open up the season now batting .382 with a pair of homers. It’s easy power to all fields with a clean weight transfer into contact. He can really lift and launch the ball consistently creating a ton of backspin and carry off his barrel. Gambill is uncommitted and should not be for long as the bat will play at a high level.   

Lute Chavez (2025, Vail, Arizona) really impressed on both sides of the ball. Athletic catcher who can really catch and throw with good hands. He works good at-bats with plate discipline and solid pitch recognition. The swing is short and compact from the lefty side of things and showed solid bat to ball ability with good line drive contact. Chavez is currently uncommitted.  

Kyzer Harrington (2023, Midlothian, Texas) can really impact the baseball with the likes of anyone. It’s line drive contact and everything comes off hard. He is now batting .406 to open up with 4 homeruns swinging a quick bat with good swing decisions and strong pull-side power. He went deep on a line to pull in this look and should be continuing this pace throughout the season. He is currently uncommitted but shouldn’t be for long.  

Caden Mitchell (2023, Celina, Texas) has been awesome on both sides of the ball to open up. Currently, he is one of the best Juco catchers out there and showed why in this look. He caught a runner stealing and recorded a pop time of 1.98. He can really catch and throw and has an absolute hose behind the dish. He receives it well and moves well back there with athleticism keeping the ball in front. Simply put, you do not run on this guy. On the other side of things, Mitchell was on the barrel consistently and profiles well as a line drive gap to gap hitter who can get into power every now and then. Mitchell is currently committed to Oklahoma and should make an immediate impact once getting there.

Harlin Hovater, So, Meridian  

Shorter look here, game got out of hand in a hurry but a pro stick. Feel to hit stand out in a quality lineup. Present pole to pole juice that shows at least above average. Track record producer at the level. Registered a pair of knocks and a free pass before being pulled. Overall, impressed with the barrel accuracy. Hovater should stick behind the plate with quality arm strength and feel for the game. It's going to be tough to crack the lineup at State, but he will be in the mix if the bat keeps up at the next level. 

-Troy Sutherland

Brock DeYoung, Fr, Navarro 

Right-handed hitting. Smaller and unimpressive physically but kid is a gamer. Flat bat path, pretty solid feel to hit. Good hands at shortstop, smart ballplayer. Has some serious flashes of being long term, above average defender at shortstop. Slashing .367/.415/.592.

Jordan Enyart, Fr, Ranger 

Right-handed hitter was an absolute hit machine. Barreled up 93 mph and knocked the starter out of the game and followed that up with a grand slam. Kid is a legit ballplayer. Smaller frame with a second base home long term. Plenty of twitch, hit tool will be the carrier. Good bat speed with a flat bat path. Has some juice in there, but better as a slasher. Plays with energy. Slashing .357/.446/.482 

Cody Palacios, Fr, San Jacinto 

Physically advanced, good athlete, good reads in center field. Flat bat path, creates some carry. Like the player. Consistently putting the ball in play. Hopefully the power can level up. Aggressively smart base runner. Just the epitome of a gamer. Slashing .381/.480/.548 

TJ Stottlemyre, So, San Jacinto 

Right-hand hitting. Undersized but polished with a feel to hit. Really athletic. Could really pick it at SS. Has a chance to stick there defensively. Bat to ball has been impressive. Has slowly worked his way up a really strong lineup. Slashing .424/.524/.576 

Danati Fronduto, Fr, San Jacinto 

Left-hand hitter has been absolutely out of his mind to open the year. Ultra Physical. Good feel for the barrel. Lot of strength at contact, Initially worked LCF mostly, but has made some adjustments to get the air pull that was obviously in there. Bat to ball has been pretty exceptional for a guy his size. Pro body. Pretty high upside. Slashing .467/.581/1.133 

Ashton Peshke, Fr, San Jacinto 

Lanky frame, room to add. Very low 3/4 slot, borderline sidearm. Repertoire is going to be limiting but can be dominant two pitch mix. Fastball 88-91 (2200) with a ton of run. Slider 79-80 (2200) with sweep. Flashed changeup in warmup. Has pro reliever potential. 2.45 ERA in 7.1 IP. 10K 

Keegan Chavez, Fr, San Jacinto 

Towering frame. Good fill, maybe a chance to add a little more. Reliant on length, extra-long arm action into high 3/4 delivery. Fastball 89-91 (2000). Shorter curve 77-78. Changeup 82-83 (1600). Mixes stuff really well. Not overpowering but can really pitch. 0.57 ERA in 15.2 IP. 21 K 

Cohl McCoy, So, Seminole State (OK) 

Right-hand hitting. Smaller frame. Might be more room for muscle, but he's wiry. Plays with lot of energy. Good athlete but could probably get more if he transferred weight a bit more efficiently. Superb bat to ball ability. Other teams couldn't get him out. Biggest hang up: bit of a question mark defensively. Slashing .419/.500/.645 

Kade Davis, So, Temple 

Left-hand hitting. Probably the best JUCO player I’ve seen this spring, thus far. Buckets of loud contact. Not overly physical but fills out the frame well. Gets into his lower half super well. Explosive actions but makes it look very easy. Two-way player but should be an impact bat at the next level. Slashing .500/.593/.925

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. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend. Offensively, she batted .444 with 5 RBIs and an impressive 6 stolen bases, which led the tournament. She also scored 6 runs for her team and...

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
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. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

‘27 RHP Jaxson Weiss (IL) pitched well in his 5 innings and put up some eye popping strikeout numbers. He punched out 10 and allowed only 2ER. FB T86 early and flashed a BB 72-75. #WCFinale https://t.co/M8GtCUgxyS — Perfect Game Illinois (@PG_Illinois) October 17, 2026 Jaxson Weiss (2027, New Lennox, Ill.) a right-handed pitcher put up big strikeout numbers in his start on Saturday. He worked five innings while punching out ten opposing hitters. The fastball topped out at 86 mph and sat in the 82-85 mph range most of the game. His breaking ball was his primary off-speed, living 72-75 mph. Weiss keeps his body under control throughout his delivery, helping him with his good command on the mound. He uses his lower half well with a nice leg drive and gets his hips through, guiding his backside. He pitched with confidence and stayed ahead of hitters most of the game. Hayden...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers With the 2026 WWBA World Championship in the rearview mirror, we're going to begin our breakdowns of 4 different subcategories, beginning today with the Stars Being Stars category.

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars Gets your reads in now because by the time you reach the end, some of the talent in this article might be giving their commitments to a college somewhere across the country. Every player below did something that caught out scout's eye and should certainly be on the radar for college coaches, if they aren't already.  Braxton Sykes (2028, Brunswick, Ga.) tossed a total of six innings down in Jupiter, collecting six strikeouts while failing to allow either a hit or earned run during his tenure on the mound. The 6-foot-2 right-hander showcased an impressive three-pitch mix with excellent feel to locate in every part of the strike zone. His fastball lived in the mid- to upper-80s mph range with more velocity to project for as Sykes continues to add strength and...
