Ohio Valley High School Notebook

Jordan Gates

Max Phillips, 2027, LHP/OF, Trinity (KY) checks in as the number one player in the Kentucky class in the most recent update. It’s easy to see why as he has arguably the highest ceiling in the class, both on the mound and as a bat. In my look, a few backs, Phillips got the start on the mound during his team’s last regular season game. The Wake Forest commit in four innings, saw his FB up to 91 a handful of times, while living 87-89 for the majority. The changeup sat in the low 80s while he also spun a sweeper that was up to 2400 rpm at 76-79. Phillips possesses a long athletic frame, coming at 6-foot-4 and 190 lbs. Strength will continue to be added as he progresses throughout the year. On the mound, it’s a longer action from a mid 3/4 slot. Tends to work more glove side with some arm side run. There’s velocity there that is still untapped as he continues to figure out the operation. At the plate, it’s smooth swing that typically hits out of the leadoff spot for a loaded Trinity team. Starts in a wide & athletic base with a small toe tap and the bat path is short to contact with a long-extended finish. Has the ability to work all fields and the power projects. There is efficient bat speed along the way from a leveraged path. Expect Phillips to have a big summer and fall. 


Jack Ryan, 2026, RHP/1B, St. Xavier (OH) A personal favorite of mine is the Boston College commit. Ryan has been on the circuit for quite some time now, dating back to 2021 as he is a two-time PG Select Fest alum (13u & 14u). As playoffs get underway, I was able to see his last start of the regular season, and it went as good as you would think. Ryan held a no-hitter until the seventh but was broken up on a softly hit single. Once that happened, his day was done. He threw  6 1/3 innings, while only allowing one hit, two walks and tallying 12 strikeouts. His off-speed was absolutely dialed, with his slider still being a plus pitch in the 79-82 mph range. The changeup worked off the slider in the low 80s and has also added a curveball to his repertoire that was in the mid 70s. The pitch ability is a premium trait with the ability to throw any pitch in any count and at any time. Ryan has solidified himself as one of the more consistent performers both on the mound and with the bat. A day after this start, he was named the GCL (conference) Player of the Year for the second straight year. With playoffs just getting started, his legendary four-year campaign also includes over 100 hits and 200 strikeouts, cementing himself in school history. Despite the profile, his leadership really makes this team go, and the sky is the limit for Ryan as he and his team look to make a deep run.  




Keegan Sawyer, 2028, C,  Badin (OH) Sawyer checks in as a top player in the 2028 class in Ohio. And the numbers back up the top 230 nationally ranking. The frame stands in at 6-foot, 190-pounds and has actions on both sides of the ball. There is present strength to the build with more being added over the next few years. At the plate, he works with a gap-to-gap approach and impacts baseballs at a high rate. The offensive side is what certainly stands out as he is sitting at a healthy .425 average and a .527 OBP. Sawyer has tallied 32 hits in 27 games. About half of those hits have gone for extra bases, including three home runs, nine doubles, and three triples. On defense, he does a great job controlling the run game and has solidified himself as one of the top catchers in the country. As much as the defense intrigues, the bat is really the calling card as it’s a constant producer. This is a name to pop over the summer ahead of August 1.  


Tyler Fryman, 2027, CF, Beechwood (KY) I have seen a lot of baseball this spring and have covered a lot of the ground throughout the Ohio Valley region and there are a handful of names that have really impressed. Tyler Fryman is one of those names.  It’s a hyper athletic profile that is a game changer on both sides of the ball. Whether it’s on the defensive side, covering massive ground in centerfield or at the leadoff spot setting the tone for his team. Rinse and repeat. Fryman leads Kentucky in hits and finds himself near the top in almost every offensive category. The Louisville commit will have an important senior year coming up, where he also shines on the gridiron as a four-star recruit. The offers for both baseball and football continue to pour in and it’s a top profile in the region and considered a national talent in both sports. One of my favorite watches all spring and he is part of a loaded team that is setting their sights on a state championship run.  


Kyle Flynn, 2026, RHP, Dixie Heights (KY) made only his third appearance this spring in the opening round of the region playoffs. And boy, did he deliver. Coming off an injury plagues senior year, the Thomas More commit got the ball in the most important game to date. He proceeded to go six scoreless innings only allowing three hits, three walks, and striking out eight.  Not be out done by his own self, Flynn also delivered the game winning hit in the bottom of the seventh to advance his team to the next round of playoffs. Pitching on adrenaline, Flynn was going to have the ball in this one no matter what. And he delivered. On the mound, he works from a mid-three-quarters slot from a rocker delivery, with quick arm speed and feel for spin. His fastball peaked at 88 mph and lived around 85-87 for the duration. His off-speed really prolonged his outing as his slider and curveball worked in the mid 70s and missed bats. High-energy profile that competes on the mound. 
 

Kai Anderson, 2027, C, Highlands (KY) Anderson is an uncommitted backstop out of the northern Kentucky area. He packs a powerful punch on both sides and the energy is contagious. Manning the backstop, he shows the defensive & intrinsic nature to play this game at a high level and his suitor after high school will have a winner and a surefire competitor. The defensive actions and the ability to produce at the plate with exceptional bat-to-ball make him one of the top uncommitted players in the Kentucky ’27 class. Anderson displays an explosive lower half with a short and compact swing and has a knack for finding a barrel. He plays above his size at 5-foot-8, 160 pounds. And he he will continue to win at the next level.  


Brady Bushman, 2026, CF/RHP, Conner (KY) The Wallace-Dothan commit has a very interesting profile as a two-way. During the 2025 summer, he was low-mid 80s at a few events of ours. After the calendar turned, a noticeable jump was made ahead of the spring. He has had a few crosscheckers out and he’s now topping out in the low 90s. Bushman’s athleticism truly stands out as he has posted a sub 6.9 60-yard dash. The left-handed hit tool and a right-handed pitcher on the mound, is super intriguing. At the plate, he starts in an open stance, almost facing the pitcher head on. Displays a tight turn with a backside load and can create good barrel leverage through an uphill swing on an even plane. It’s a taller yet lean build at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds. Bushman proceeded to go 4-for-5 with four runs scored, adding a triple and three singles out of the leadoff spot in my one look. On the mound, it’s mostly 87-90 mph with some fastballs at 91 and 92 mph. The secondary pitches include an 11-5 slider in the high 70s and a breaking ball in the low 70s.

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Noah Rumley (‘29 NC) has been up to 90 so far in this start w/ 8 Ks in 4 innings of work.

The 6-foot-2 left-handed pitcher ended up going five innings, allowing only one hit and one run, while striking out nine.

There’s a ton of things to like already and even...

Ranked fifth nationally entering the tournament, Florida Burn 2027 Scout left no doubt who the best team was at the 17U BCS National Championship. Burn finished a perfect 9-0 tournament, earning an 11-1 semifinal victory before defeating No. 86-ranked Original Florida Pokers 2027 National, 9-1, Tuesday afternoon at JetBlue Park. Burn seized control early and never looked back in a game that ended after the fifth inning per Perfect Game’s mercy rule. Burn carried its explosive offense into the championship game as Braedon Mackay launched a two-run home run in the first inning, giving his team an early 2-0 lead.

UBC Midwest X Atlantic Notes: Part 1

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Jack Postma (2028, Barrington, IL) made an impression in Chicago this week. A 6-foot-5 right hander with a starter pitch mix. Topped out at 93 in his outing at UBC Midwest and pitched at 88-93 for 2 innings on the mound. Slider showed late horizontal bite at its best when finished out front. Change up is a usable third pitch with fading action and ability to miss bats. Clean overall operation in the delivery. Upside with added stability in the arm action. Chance to be one of the top prospects in Illinois and potentially the country with necessary adjustments moving forward.  Connor Basinski (2028, Columbia, IL) an athletic player with 2-way potential. Physicality stands out for a player in the 2028 class. Swung the bat impressively well in Chicago. Hits from a wide stance and stays balanced using strength and leverage to drive the baseball to all fields. Launched a long pull side...

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 4

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Mason Conner (2029, Palestine, Texas) was a force in the middle-of-the-order for Gold Culture. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a negative leg lift stride. Strides through and uncoils the lower half well and creates separation in the back shoulder. Solid hand speed with a flat bat plane and feel to leverage and lift. Impacts the ball well with feel to impact and drive. The shortstop showed the power upside belting a two-run homer over the fence in left field and added a two-RBI knock later in the game. Medium 6-foot, 175-pound frame that was consistently on the barrel and showed a good approach at the plate working two walks. Lennon Dunn (2029, Mansfield, Texas) competed and showed the upside on the mound for Stix 2029 Scout. The right-handed pitcher...

Coppy's Corner: July 21 Summer Edition

John Coppolella
Article Image
The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it.    Player of the Week: Coen Niclai – Wareham Gatemen  The Internet tells me that 12 MLB players have come from Alaska, 10 of whom were from Anchorage, and the best of which is Curt Schilling. Niclai, who is also...

FTB National Completes Elite Run

Kinley Kitchens

Championships are never won in a single game. For FTB National 2027, this one has been in the making for years. An 8-0 victory over Team Elite 17U Scout capped off an unforgettable week at the 2026 Perfect Game 17U National Elite Championship, but according to those inside the dugout, the championship was a product of friendships formed long before the tournament ever began. FTB took their first national elite win in team history, giving one of the nation’s top 2027 teams an elite ending to their 17U summer. “This is a homegrown group,” head coach Will Haynie said. “This team has been together for the last four or five years, and I think a lot of them have been together since the Little League World Series when they were 12. It’s been fun, and a nice little cap off to their 17U summer, especially after winning a big event like this.” That chemistry...
