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.

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC West Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

WWBA East Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air. Excellent athlete that will stick at a premium spot. #LaTech commit.#WWBAEast pic.twitter.com/xeintVTMil — PG Deep South (@PG_DeepSouth) June 12, 2026 Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) The Louisiana Tech commit just does not stop hitting.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

Team Elite Takes Another PG Elite

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament. Ryan Johnson delivered 4.1 scoreless innings on the mound, allowing just two hits...
