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 great reads on balls and a quick first step. She is capable of making the big diving plays as well as being consistent during the routine outs as well. We saw her dominate the middle infield, keeping her team in games. Keep your eye on this athlete. She is capable of some big things at the next level.

Trinity Prevost (2028, Klein, TX) of the Texas Bombers HTX Gold-Frank was impressive on both sides of the ball last weekend. She held down shortstop on the weekend and made some ridiculous plays. She has the talent of making everything look easy on defense because she moves so smoothly. She shows off great range and a strong arm and overall great athleticism on defense. Offensively, she is dynamic and a difficult out. She has the ability to drop a sneaky bunt and use her speed to beat it out and she also has some solid pop in her barrel. Once she gets on base, watch out because she will use her wheels. Overall, Trinity is one of the purest athletes on the field and she still has so much growth ahead of her.

Emily Gonzales (2028, Laporte, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U is a phenomenal middle infielder and versatile offensive producer. When batting, this right-handed hitter is scrappy in the box. She makes pitchers work, taking them deep into counts and showing off her fantastic hand eye coordination. She has great barrel control and lets the ball travel well. Defensively, Emily has a smooth approach to the ball and solid glove work. Her transfers are quick and efficient, and she has a short, compact release when throwing. We loved her range, and she does a great job on her drop steps and angles on balls over her head. She continues to impress, and we look forward to following her continued growth!

Maya Wortham (2029, Calvert, TX) of the American Freedom Brazos Valley Gold was an impressive force both at the plate and on defense last weekend. In center field Maya utilizes a great drop step and solid angles. She has great range and gets rid of the ball quickly with a strong and accurate arm. Offensively, Maya makes consistent contact and uses a strong back side fire to generate some good barrel whip. She provides great pop and is a smart and fast baserunner. She is a fun athlete to watch and has a ton of potential in the future!

Sabrina Phillips (2028, Leander, TX) of the Texas Blaze ATX National proved to be a consistent and clutch hitter for her squad last weekend. Not only did she finish the weekend batting well over .500, but she was also a high RBI producer. She is a strong athlete who has an athletic stance and swing. Her hands take a short and efficient path to the ball and she showed great contact point awareness. Her ability to drive the ball to all fields is impressive and we believe she has a ton of potential. We look forward to seeing her continued growth.

Cylee Thomas (2028, College Station, TX) of the American Freedom Brazos Valley Gold stepped up big time for her team last weekend both in the circle and with he4r bat. On the mound, this right-handed pitcher uses a great round of curve, backdoor curve, and changeup. She threw a lot of great innings for her squad and her presence on the mound was steady and confident. Offensively, Cylee packs a punch. She has next level barrel whip and a solid swing. We can see her being an impact hitter at the next level.

MCKYNLEE MERCHANT (2029, Conroe, TX) of the Texas Bombers HTX Gold-Frank put on a display last weekend. She showcased next level range and fielding ability in center field. She gets a quick first step and reads the ball off the bat well. Her arm is strong and accurate, and she does a great job getting her body behind the ball to help make even stronger throws. Offensively, she can be seen dropping dirty bunts and driving the ball hard. Her athleticism is very obvious in everything she does, and she is a true spark in the lineup and on defense. She is young but insanely talented with a huge upside. Keep your eye on this athlete because we see big things in store for her.

One word comes to mind when thinking of Je'Neiya Russell-Dukes (2027, Harker Heights, TX) of the Swarm Gold CTX, and that word is power. She is built strong and uses that strength in all parts of her game. At 3rd base, she stays down on the ball and does a great job staying in her legs to fire a strong throw across the field. Offensively, she uses a violent back side fire to generate great barrel whip and speed. She is balanced in her swing, has a good eye at the plate, and can drive the ball to all fields. She was a consistent and effective offensive producer for her squad last weekend and we are excited to see more from this athlete.

Briley Smith (2029, College Station, TX) of the American Freedom Brazos Valley Gold was one of the most consistent offensive threats last weekend. She finished the tournament batting just under .600 and used her full array of triple threat abilities. She is a versatile athlete who can almost play any defensive position and she is also an energetic spark plug for her team. She brings the energy and confidence to the field every time we see her play and we can’t wait to see how she continues to grow.

Jenna May (2029, Hutto, TX) of the Texas Blaze CTX 16U Vogan was one of the more impressive pitchers this past weekend. In an offensive heavy tournament, May put up some great numbers and impressed out scout. This left-handed pitcher sits around 60-61mph consistently with her changeup sitting about 10 mph slower. She throws a solid mix of riseball, screwball, fastball, dropball, and changeup that we saw. She pounds the zone and ixes both sides of the plate well. Her screwball was incredibly effective on right-handed batters. She also contributed offensively, batting .300 on the weekend with multiple extra base hits.

Brenley Kelso (2027, Salado, TX) of the Swarm Gold CTX was a strong and consistent offensive producer for her team this past weekend. This right-handed hitter has a small load and simple approach, but still generates a good amount of whip and pop. She does a great job letting the ball travel and drives it where it’s pitched. Her barrel gets behind the ball rather than around it and the result is hard hits up the middle. She is balanced throughout her swing and she finished her weekend batting .500 with two doubles and two triples. She drove in five runs for her team, making her one of the standouts of the lineup.

Molley Taisler (2028, Holland, TX) of the Swarm Gold CTX was an impressive two-way player on the weekend. Offensively, this left-handed hitter did a phenomenal job hitting the ball where it’s pitched. She starts in an open position and closes off nicely and utilizes a strong front side resistance. She took two outside pitches to the left-center gap for extra base hits. She has great barrel pop and her bat path is short and efficient. On the mound, she sits in the mid 50’s and is effective on both sides of the strike zone. She averages about a strikeout an inning and uses an effective mix of moving pitches to keep batters off balance. She has an athletic motion and a ton of potential for continued growth in the circle.

Brynnly Pinkston (2028, Georgetown, TX) of the Firecrackers CTX Norton was an impressive force on both sides of the ball. Offensively, this left-handed hitter brings massive barrel pop and quick hands to the table. She is built strong and knows how to use her body to create massive power. She has great contact point awareness and shows she can effectively drive the ball to all fields with authority. Behind the plate, this catcher interacts with her pitchers well and exudes confidence. She has next level glove and framing skills and solid arm strength. Overall, she is a steady and solid presence in all parts of her game and was really fun to watch. We see big things in store for this athlete.

Coastal Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Ridge Whitfield (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot, 158 pounds with an athletic build that should allow him to maintain his mobility and quick-twitch actions as he continues to develop. He bats and throws left-handed. Whitfield locates his fastball to both sides of the plate, mixes his pitches effectively, and keeps hitters off balance. He competes on every pitch and doesn’t back down in big situations. Whitfield threw 5.1 innings, allowing three hits, one earned run, and no walks while striking out three on 75 pitches (58% strikes). He attacked the zone with a fastball that sat 73 mph and topped out at 78 mph, mixing in a 67 mph breaking ball and a 68-70 mph changeup to keep hitters off balance.

Perfect Game Staff

Jake Karpell (2030, Holmdel, NJ) got on the barrel a couple times in game five and totaled three rbis. Started his production with a single then later on hammered a heater down the right field and flew around the bases for a three run inside the park home run. Keeps the hands inside at contact really well and got the head around on the homer. Runs well and can hit it around the yard in the approach.  Luke Sauer (2030 C, FL)  put his hit tool on display with a well-struck double, continuing to show why he is regarded as one of the top catchers in the class.

Connor Ashley (‘29, FL) has struck out six over six no hit innings thus far. Got the FB up to 87 w/ feel for a sharp two-plane slider. #PGWS @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/M7mEmTH8pk — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 12, 2026 Connor Ashley (’29, Minneola, FL) was stellar on Sunday, striking out seven in a seven inning no hitter. He operates from a medium-to-large right-handed frame with length, room to fill, and lower half strength. Ashley works exclusively from the stretch, starting at the belt before working into a higher compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a long arm action. He releases from a high three-quarters slot, with the fastball jumping from the hand up to 87. Ashley mixed in a sharp 11-5 breaking ball with depth and late bite, a true swing-and-miss offering.  Matthew Hernandez (’29, Miami Lakes, FL) has posted strong numbers on both...

Coppy's Corner: July 14 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: Carter White – Falmouth Commodores  Talk about making a great first impression! White introduced himself in a very loud and boisterous way this past week by going 9-17 (.529 AVG) with 6 RBI...

The uncommitted right-hander ran it up to 91 and sat 88-90 with a full starter’s mix. All three of the secondaries played well and project moving forward. The curveball worked in the mid-70s with good depth and healthy shape. The slider operated in the 79-82 range with gyro spin and short break. McGeady rounded out the repertoire with a changeup that showed big fade and depth, proving effective versus lefties.

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
With the 2026 MLB Draft officially complete, let's quickly turn our eyes to the 2027 group and do a way too early mock draft. Leading the way is shortstop Brendan Lawson out of the University of Florida, setting the trend as three of the top four names all call shortstop home with Dylan Seward and Carter Hadnot. If shortstops aren't your thing for any which reason, maybe hard throwing left-handers tickle your fancy whether it be prep Connor Salerno, Tomas Valincius from Mississippi State or Dylan Volantis, a dominant arm from the University of Texas.  Pick Team Name Pos.
