13u PGI Event Recap

Jheremy Brown
Donovan May
 
Two-time Select Festival participant Carlos Marrero (2030, Esperanza, Valverde, D.R.) was one of the driving forces behind SBA Bolts National 13U's run to the quarterfinals, consistently impacting the game in multiple ways this past week. The switch-hitting shortstop hit .400 (6-for-15) with three home runs, eight RBI, and four stolen bases, homering from both sides of the plate while showing an advanced feel for the barrel and a mature offensive approach. Defensively, Marrero displayed clean footwork, soft hands, and a strong arm on the left side of the infield. He was also impressive on the mound, running his fastball up to 89 mph with a sharp slider while striking out six over 3.2 scoreless innings. 


Christian Cicero (2031, Villa Park, Calif.) was one of the tournament's top offensive performers, helping ZT National Prospects reach the championship game. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound left-handed hitting catcher displayed advanced feel for the barrel and present power, driving the baseball to all fields throughout the tournament. Cicero finished hitting .692 (18-for-26) with five home runs, 21 RBI, three doubles, one triple, and a 2.171 OPS.  




SBA Bolts National 13U also featured standout Ryan Spann (2031, Tifton, Ga.), a two-time Select Festival participant. The 6-foot, 165-pound left-handed hitter displayed a smooth swing with present bat speed, consistently driving the baseball to all fields while producing loud contact. Spann finished the tournament hitting .579 (11-for-19) with two home runs, five extra-base hits, nine RBI and three stolen bases. The athleticism also translated to the outfield, where he took efficient routes with easy actions and displayed arm strength. 


Joshua Beauford (2031, Prosper, Texas) showcased one of the stronger pitching performances of the tournament for Dallas Tigers Rae. The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander displayed a quick arm, running his fastball into the low-80s with quality arm-side run while pairing it with a slider and curveball that missed bats. Beauford struck out nine over 5.1 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. He later delivered a walk-off grand slam to cap an impressive all-around performance. 


Nolan Bingham (2031, Rockwall, Texas) displayed one of the more projectable and intriguing left-handed profiles seen during tournament play for DOC National. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound southpaw showcased a quick, loose arm, running his fastball up to 84 mph while flashing feel to spin and creating uncomfortable at-bats with deception. Bingham struck out 10 hitters across six innings while allowing just one earned run. 


Sebastian Quezada (2031, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) had a well-rounded performance for Downey Hustle Elite. The 5-foot-10, 133-pound infielder displayed a quick bat and quality plate discipline, putting together competitive at-bats while producing hard contact. Defensively, he attacked the baseball well, showing quick feet and easy actions across the infield. Quezada finished the tournament hitting .438 (7-for-16) with two home runs, three doubles, and five RBI. 


Dylan French (2031, Magnolia, Texas) showcased an impressive two-way performance for Premier Banditos. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander displayed a loose, quick arm, running his fastball into the mid-80s while pairing it with a quality breaking ball that made hitters uncomfortable. French struck out seven across 6.2 innings and hit .438 (7-for-16) with two home runs and 11 RBI, displaying good barrel control throughout the tournament.  


Bennett Hassel (2031, Jacksonville, Fla.) was one of the more athletic players seen during tournament play for TNA Baseball – Sun Devils. The 5-foot-7, 150-pound right-handed hitting infielder displayed a quick bat, consistently producing line drives while using his speed to put pressure on opposing defenses. That combination of tools translated into a .650 (13-for-20) average, with six doubles, one home run and six stolen bases. His easy actions, instincts and body control also stood out defensively. 


Rylan Williams (2031, Midlothian, Texas) put together a solid performance for Haymakers 13U. The 5-foot-7, 140-pound catcher displayed a sound offensive approach, consistently driving the baseball. He also worked well behind the plate, showing mobile actions, instincts, and awareness that fit the position well. Williams finished the tournament hitting .467 (7-for-15) with two doubles, one triple, one home run, and eight RBI. 


Jack Cobb (2031, Somis, Calif.) turned in a strong offensive performance throughout the tournament. The 5-foot-11, 176-pound right-handed hitter displayed a clean path to the baseball, producing loud contact. Cobb finished the tournament hitting .500 (6-for-12) with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. He also displayed good actions in the outfield. 

Brycen Hurst (2030, Alpharetta, Ga.) showcased one of the more consistent offensive performances for the Valley Kings. The 5-foot-8, 150-pound left-handed hitter displayed quick hands while flashing strength in the bat. Hurst finished the tournament hitting .625 (15-for-24) with two doubles, one triple, one home run, eight RBI and nine stolen bases.

Kellen McConaghy (2031, Lake Tapps, Wash.) emerged as one of the tournament’s top run producers for Seattle Select 13U in their run to a championship title. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound right-handed hitter displayed a compact stroke with bat speed, consistently producing hard contact. McConaghy finished the tournament hitting .429 (9-for-21) with four home runs, highlighted by a pair of multi-home run games, while adding one double and 17 RBI.

TNA Baseball – Sun Devils featured another standout in Aiden Nieto (2030, Miami, Fla.), who put together a well-rounded tournament on both sides of the ball. The 5-foot-7, 120-pound right-handed hitter displayed an athletic offensive profile that consistently producing quality contact. The athletic defender also showed the versatility to handle both the infield and outfield. Nieto finished the tournament hitting .571 (12-for-21) with two home runs, 10 RBI and 13 stolen bases.

Valley Kings also had another standout in Kristian Valadez (2031, Eagle Pass, Texas), who impressed with a polished offensive approach. The 5-foot-5, 142-pound right-handed hitter showcased good bat-to-ball traits while putting together competitive at-bats. Valadez finished the tournament hitting .522 (12-for-23) with one triple, two home runs, 14 RBI and three stolen bases.

Jordan Acosta (2031, Miami, Fla.) put together a strong all-around performance for the FTB Phillies. The 5-foot-9, 150-pound right-handed hitting shortstop displayed quality plate discipline while consistently producing loud contact. Acosta also stood out defensively with smooth, athletic actions in the infield and hit .500 (10-for-20) with three home runs, one double, one triple, 11 RBI and three stolen bases.

SBA Bolts National 13U also featured Jeremiah Dorsey (2031, Woodsboro, Md.), another standout in their run to the semi-finals. The physical 5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed hitter with strength, impacted the game on both sides of the ball. Dorsey topped out at 86 mph on the mound and displayed solid defensive actions across the infield. He finished the tournament hitting .389 (7-for-18) with two doubles, one home run and six RBI.

Elvis Puig (2030, Houston, Texas) displayed one of the more intriguing pitching profiles for Texas Mambas – Cecconi. The 6-foot, 170-pound right-hander with a tall, projectable build, showcased a quick arm, running his fastball up to 85 mph with quality arm-side run. One of the harder throwers seen throughout the event, Puig’s live arm stood out throughout tournament. He also hit .364 (4-for-11) with a triple and five RBI during the tournament.

Pitching? Hitting? Why not both? Day three of the 13u PGI proved to be "Hudson Bills Day" in Chesterfield as the young left-hander and 2031 grad out of Nevada was fantastic on both sides of the ball. Opening up the day on the mound, Bills ran his heater up to 84 mph early in the outing, pumping the zone over the course of 6 innings in which he punched out 8 and showed an innate feel for landing his breaker for strikes. Offensively, he's a right-handed stick and made his presence felt, putting three balls over the fence in seven at-bats, raising his slash to a .500,/.579,/1.936 mark heading in to day four.

They say you never know what you might see at the park on any given day and for me, 2031 Kai Kusano (Corona, Calif.) teamed up with Bills to do something I've never seen. Teammates going back-to-back isn't common, but it also isn't rare. Teammates going back-to-back in the first inning and then going back-to-back again in the third inning, that's rare. Out of the two-hole, Kusano does a nice job of limiting moving parts in his swing, getting the front foot down in time while letting his hands and barrel get to work. Having also gone yard in game one, the Californian has been outstanding at the dish thus far, picking up 9 hits over 16 at-bats. 
 
With balls flying out every which way, one pump that amongst the many came courtesy of 2031 Jackson Nave (Sevierville, Tenn.). A physical 6-foot-1, 175 pounder already, Nave put one of the better swings on the ball late on day three, staying in his lower half while keeping his hands inside the ball, driving a pitch out the other way over the left-center field fence. You don’t always see that type of opposite field power this early from plays and this was a shot that got out in a hurry. 


Dominic Gomez (2030, Fontana, Calif.) had one of those moments every baseball player dreams up in the backyard. Win or go home, bottom of the last inning, 3-2 count, 2 outs, trailing a run with a runner on base. What does Gomez do? He takes the pitch and leaves the yard the other way on a line to stun the opposing team, walking it off to help his team live for another day. And when that next day came? Gomez opened it up with another bomb, finishing his event with three long balls and a .353 average. 

It was a nice showing on both sides of the ball for Ruben Elias (2031, Chino Hills, Calif.) as the 6-foot, 200 pound California certainly made his presence felt. Offensively he racked up the hits, collecting 15 of them (3 of which went over the fence) while finishing with a .556/.606/1.589 slash, though his playoff outing on the mound might’ve been even more impressive. Up to 86 mph, Elias struck out 4 over 4 innings and managed to keep one of the most potent offenses to the tune of 1 run on two hits. 


Joshua Park (2031, La Miranda, Calif.) was a star throughout his time in Chesterfield, swinging as big a stick as any from the first pitch to the last. A left-handed bat, Park genuinely can use all parts of the field with intent and we were able to see him tap into the juice, most specifically on a mammoth shot he hit the pull side at the start of playoffs. 17 for 24. 5 home runs. 9 walks to 1 strikeout. 2.288 OPS. Pick any of the stats as they are all eye opening and you quickly see why he was the MVP of the 13u PGI. 

Aaron Kim (2031, Irvine, Calif.) is a strong 6-foot, right-handed bat out of California who has continued to make a name for himself offensively and his trip to Chesterfield was no different. Showing lots of comfort turning on the baseball, Kim was able to smoke some balls to the gap, including a pair of homers, while showing off his speed around the bases with a couple of triples. The bat speed is a standout tool, whipping the barrel head through the zone with the best of them in attendance. 

What caught my eye from Christopher Domenech (2030, Miami, Fla.) doesn’t show up in the box score as it was a pair of defensive plays at the hot corner that make you say “wow”. The first came with a runner on third base and two outs; slow roller that saw Domenech charge hard and complete a cross-body throw to complete the play with his momentum taking him away from the bag, capping off the inning. Later in the game on a ball that was smoked, the Miami native picked the back hand while dropping to a knee, spun and finished the play once again. 

The MVP Pitcher of the event, Lucca Giano (2030, Brea, Calif.) was dominant of the span of three outings and 7 innings pitched, including a 4 inning, 3 strikeout performance against Seattle Select. He did a nice job of living in the zone, attacking hitters early while running his fastball up to 83 mph and also performed well offensively, collecting 10 hits on the event while driving in 12 runs. 


Justin Lloyd (2030, Riverside, Calif.) was an intriguing arm who took the hill for TC Titans-Madrigal late in the event and though the final stat line wasn’t the cleanest, the upside is crystal clear. Up to 81 mph while working comfortably in the upper-70s, everything works well operationally for Lloyd, though it’s the pitchability and long-term projection that truly stand out. First, not only do you rarely see a quality changeup at the 13u level, never mind an arm who can sequence it in with conviction to batters of either handedness, something Lloyd did in the first inning to pick up strikeouts and steal strikes. The arm works, there's a feel for spin, and his comfort already within the zone all stand out, making him a name to watch moving forward. 

River Hilliard (2031, Greenbrier, Tenn.) once again produced in the middle of the FTB Phillies lineup in Missouri, showing some big juice from the right side. Despite his strong 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame, Hilliard does a nice job of keeping things simple in the right-handed batter’s box, doing some serious damage whenever he lets the bat head fly. He barreled up 10 hits over the week (2 home runs) and walked almost 3 times more than he struck out, yielding a .714/.808/2.093 slash. 

Carter Ace Johnson (2031, Katy, Texas) offers plenty to like on both sides of the ball and the physical projection is just as big, already standing at a long and lean 6-foot-2. He got the start on the mound day three and looked solid, running the fastball up to 83 mph with a long and loose arm stroke, generating life to the arm side while flipping in a short breaker in the low-60s. Offensively, the swing is similar to his arm action in that it's fast and loose, showing natural leverage through the point of contact which plays to all fields. 

Another event, another big performance from outfielder Brayden Worthen (2031, Tomball, Texas) as the left-handed stick continued to swing it the way we saw in Florida for the Best of the Best. While not overly physical, there's clear strength in his profile and the barrel accuracy certainly stands out as he drove a couple of baseballs for souvenirs while drawing double digit walks, giving him a near .800 on-base percentage for the event. 


I think it's safe to say Lucas Viera (2030, Miami Springs, Fla.) enjoyed his in Missouri as the left-handed hitting first baseman out of Miami hit a robust .529 with 4 home runs, driving in 12 runs from the middle of the DOC order. He showed comfort working to all parts of the field with his swing, picking up a big double the other way late in the tournament while also showcasing that aforementioned over-the-fence strength, attacking the baseball with a relatively short stroke. 

Julian Arenas (2031, Las Vegas, Nev.) was able to show off his two-way talents during his time at the 13u PGI, showing well on the mound and putting his big left-handed bat speed/power combo on display. There's big intent every time he lets the hands go from the launch point, creating big extension out front before watching the ball jump when squared up. On the mound he was up to 84 mph and struck out 10 over 6.1 innings of work. 

Leo Calhoon (2030, Sherwood, Ark.) is listed as a primary outfielder, a left-handed hitting one at that, but impressed during his time on the mound thanks in part to a lightning fast right arm that produced one of the better heaters of the event. Over a pair of appearances against ZT Elite Calhoon was able to limit the damage given the bats and field, topping out at 85 mph in his first outing while comfortably working in the low-80s. It's a simple operation with limited moving parts and he lived around the zone, working from a short arm stroke which helped him hide the ball until the last second. 

Princewill Njoku (2031, Denton, Texas) is a speedy outfielder from DK National who we'll see again at the upcoming 13u National Showcase, where we can get a closer look at his complete tool set. Already standing at a strong 6-foot, 160-pounds, Njoku offers a compact stroke at the plate that's plenty fast through the zone and brings some life behind the barrel, sending a couple balls out during the PGI while also showing big speed on the bases. 
 
A long and lanky 6-foot-2, 165-pounds, Hudson Roland (2031, Mt. Sterling, Ky.) got the start on the mound against the TC Titans and he worked four innings, scattering 6 hits while striking out 4. After a not-so-clean first inning, Roland settled in nicely and kept the bats at bay, running the fastball up to 81 mph while finding a consistent release point. There's arm speed and consistent life on the heater, but his feel to spin and land the breaking ball proved to be the difference maker as he was able to get ahead with the pitch or use it to finish off an at-bat. He also showed well with the bat, hitting a pair of home runs while getting on base at a .560 clip. 

Don't let the 5-foot-8, 125-pound frame of Daylon McCants (2031, Jacksonville, Fla.) catch you off guard as the left-handed hitting outfield can change a game in the blink of an eye. Hitting at the top of the SBA lineup, McCants has a smooth, whippy swing that allows him to accelerate through the zone with some serious intent, something we saw as he connected for 4 home runs at the PGI. The barrel skills play well, he doesn't readily expand the zone and the speed that plays on the bases also serves him well in the outfield grass. 

Liam Sparks (2030, Las Vegas, Nev.) brings plenty to like on the mound, starting with his long 6-foot-3, 200 pound, making for an intimidating presence when toeing the rubber. Despite his size, it's an easy, free flowing operation as the towering right-hander was able to run his fastball up to 80 mph from a higher slot, generating some solid downhill plane out of the hand. He wasn't just a fastball-only type of arm though, showing feel for spinning the ball while maintaining a similar release, creating 12-6 shape with depth in the mid- to upper-60s.   

Lucas Easley (2031, Philadelphia, Tenn.) has one of those left-handed swings you could just continue to watch on a loop as it's as smooth and fluid as it is potent in the end result. Over the last three games of the event Easley left the yard in each of them, showing off that swing where he's able to create real separation and extension, impacting the baseball at the point of contact. He finished the event with a .462/.563/1.793 slash and will be another player we'll in Fort Myers for the 13u National Showcase. 

Philip Rousseau (2031, Louisville, Ky.) is what they call a "spark plug" at the top of the DOC lineup and he's continued to show well just as he had all summer. Standing at 5-foot-5, 125 pounds, Rousseau was once again all over the barrel, sending hard line drive contact all of the field while putting together multi-hit performances in 6 of his team's 9 games. Finishing with a .609/.679/1.679 slash, Rousseau also swiped 5 bags and scored 9 runs, proving he can do a little bit of everything from the leadoff spot in the lineup.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 18

Perfect Game Staff

Brandon Shannon | Fr. | RHP | Louisville | Bourne Braves  The freshman right-hander possesses arguably the most electric arm on the Cape, pairing a lean, projectable frame with plenty of room to continue adding strength. Shannon worked an effortless 96-98 mph throughout the outing with premium arm speed. His mid-80s slider generates plenty of swing-and-miss, while his 92-93 mph power changeup gives him a quality third offering to neutralize left-handed hitters. After flashing premium stuff during his freshman season at Louisville, Shannon has carried that arsenal into the summer and possesses the type of arm talent to develop into a Day 1 draft prospect as he continues refining his command and overall polish.    Another look at 1B/P Josiah Overbeek (@HailStateBB) Pull side RBI single here. @BourneBraves https://t.co/YA17RJnFo8 pic.twitter.com/Jw7iDMliZG — PG College...
