13u World Series Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Brock Goodwin
Michael Wedgeworth (2030, Flomaton, AL) had put the two way ability on full display so far this week, dominating from both sides. On the mound Wedgeworth ran the fastball up to 84 (81-83) with ease to the delivery. Broke off a couple nasty curveballs that induced swing and miss, as well as freezing hitters for punch outs. Collected six in his four inning complete game. He also would not be denied at the plate going 3-5 in the first two days with two doubles. Very intriguing young player as the body continues to grow. 

Tyler Bellush (2031, Summerville, SC) is a sure handed shortstop for the Canes Nation squad. Swings it from the left side of the plate and the barrel accuracy has really stuck out thus far. 3-4 through the first couple days with a double and two triples, Bellush has also walked twice and collected 3 RBI along the way. Yesterday against USA Prime with the bases loaded, Bellush demolished a bases clearing double off of the right field wall. Showed some real comfort in the stroke and works inside the baseball with quickness to the hands. 



Sawyer Campbell (2030, Mesa, AZ) showed some of the power through two games, hammering doubles in each game. Makes good adjustments with the hands in the box to deliver the barrel and has yet to be out matched. Short and compact stroke with some present power in the turn. Campbell also hopped on the mound in game one and topped out at 80 while striking out a pair. 

King James (2031, Cincinnati, OH) has been very productive thus far this week, getting it done on both sides of the ball. Hitting .500 through two games this week and has driven in one. Uses the lower half well in the box and has been all over the barrel through two games. Also hopped on the mound in relief against Middle Tennessee Stingers and took advantage. Punched out seven on his way to a 3.2 inning win. Worked up to 79 with the fastball and filled up the zone at 60% strikes. 

Ryan Spann (2031, Tifton, GA) showed off the athleticism on the double header day going 3-4 with two singles, and a laser triple into center field. 6’0/165 pound left handed hitter with present strength in the turn and works to the middle of the field in the approach. Keeps the hands tight to the body on the backside and uses his length well to extend through it. Super clean and repeatable swing with real projection. 

-Brock Goodwin

Tyler Ballard (2031, Jackson, NJ) has had a tremendous start to his tournament racking up four hits, highlighted by a walk-off single in his team’s first pool play game. The right-handed hitter showcases a lean and athletic build with outstanding bat-to-ball skills. Ballard has also showed off his run producing ability early, driving in three runs in just two games.

Beckett DeSerio (2031, Greer, SC) has put together an impressive offensive performance through his first two games, collecting four hits, two extra-base hits, and two RBI. DeSerio showcases a physical, athletic build that generates tons of bat speed through the zone and power to all parts of the ballpark. 

Cooper Ooten (2031, Ringgold, GA) showcased his intriguing two-way upside in his game this afternoon, making an impact on both sides of the ball. At the plate, Ooten collected 3 hits with 2 RBI showcasing a short and compact swing that sprayed line drives to all parts of the field. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher tossed two scoreless innings, striking out three, and allowing 0 hits. The fastball sat in the 80-81 mph range while mixing in a dirty breaking ball that had hitters lost all outing long.

Joshua Garcia (2030, Mcallen, TX) turned in an impressive two-way performance for his team this morning. At the plate he collected two hits, highlighted by a long double, while also showing his clutch gene driving in three runs. Versatile build that made high quality contact all game long. On the mound the right-hander tossed two scoreless innings, striking out two, and allowing zero runs. The fastball ran all the way up to 80 mph while showing tremendous feel for the breaking ball landing it for strikes in any count.

Cody Keister (2030, Annandale, NJ) has delivered a complete offensive performance thus far, tallying three hits, two doubles, five RBI, three runs scored, while showcasing the speed tool swiping two stolen bases. Keister showcased a direct, efficient bat path that consistently found the barrel, producing hard contact with tremendous gap-to-gap power. 

-Brandon Levy

Jeremiah Dorsey (2031, Woodsboro, MD) has proven to be a tough out for pitchers through his first two games. The 5’11 165 pound right-handed hitter has collected 4 hits including a double, and 5 RBI while also coming around to score 4 runs of his own. The lower half works really well and produces a ton of power to all parts of the fields. Also has displayed plus bat speed with fast and strong hands. 

Joshua Abikarram (2031, Groveland, Fla.) has made a huge impact at the plate for his team thus far. The 5’9 170 pound right-handed hitter has produced five hits, two of which being extra-base hits, and 5 RBI through two games. Gets the hands in a good position early, and fires hard with the lower half. Showed the ability to hit it where it’s pitched and use the entire field. 

Rocco Lamotte (2030, San Francisco, CA) the 6’0 175 pound left-handed hitter is off to a hot start through two games. Racked up four hits and three RBI’s through two games, while also scoring three runs of his own. The tall, strong frame translates well to the batters box, with great bat to ball skills and present power to all fields. Loads deep into the legs and whips the barrel through the zone hard. 

Johnny Byrd (2031, Fort Myers, Fla.) has proven to be a problem for opposing pitchers so far. The 6’2 165 pound right-handed hitter has collected three hits in four at-bats, including a double, and three RBI through two games. Features a tall and athletic frame with a quick and accurate barrel. Gets good extension through the zone and keeps the barrel on plane. 

Jake Beleckis (2030, Land O’ Lakes, Fla.) took the mound and got the win against Ghost National 13u. His fastball sat in the low-80s with some natural arm side run, running it up to 82, complemented well with a tight curveball in the low-70s. He collected six strikeouts, and only allowed three hits in three innings of work. Fluid arm action with good extension down the mound. Confidently worked both sides of the plate with both pitches.

Austin Way (2030, Yulee, FL) was 2-3 in game four, driving in a run and scoring once himself. Picked it well defensively at shortstop but really showed out in the box today. Works the barrel path to the middle of the field and whips the barrel through the zone. The RHH creates lift in the turn, and the ball jumps off the bat hot.  Sutton Walling (2029, Ponte Vedra, FL) is an athletic 5’11/160lb infielder who gets it done on both sides of the ball. Dominated at the plate right behind his teammate Way in the batting order going 3-3 with two doubles. He does a really good job with the barrel accuracy and works through contact with heavy hands. Lots of project-ability in the profile and is having a sneaky great week at the plate. Banks Kennedy (2030, Arcadia, FL) received it well behind the dish and was the leading force in this one driving in three rbis. He ended up going 2-3...

2026 MLB Draft: Day One Recap

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Storylines Heavy College Run Early We came into the day knowing that there were a lot of talented college players at the top of the board, more specifically college bats. That came to light very early in the day, as we saw just two prep players selected within the first ten picks. The college preference lasted throughout most of the entire first round. Nearly 75% of the first 40 selections were college players. It is clear teams want players at the top of the draft that can quickly get through the system and help the big league club as soon as possible. Underslot Strategy Throughout this cycle, we knew that once you get past the first handful of picks the difference in value you were getting for let say pick ten was not that difference compared to pick 30. Because there was a large collection of players that are relatively close in value, teams were looking to get creative. We saw this...

Final 2026 MLB Mock Draft

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
It's draft day and that means it's time for our final Mock Draft with the 2026 group. 1. Chicago White Sox | Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA It’s between Roch and Grady Emerson at this pick, though there have been heavy rumors of a very late deal potentially with another top 5 pick. This boils down to negotiations and we think that they will get there.  2. Tampa Bay Rays | Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (Tex.) If Grady isn’t the first pick then he is almost certain to be the second pick. The Rays like to get creative but Emerson is a well worth prospect in his own right.  3.  Minnesota Twins | Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This is likely the floor for Roch Cholowsky, though the Twins might prefer Lackey to Roch outright. They are thought to be in on the top college players with Emerson a distant third.  4. San Francisco Giants | Jackson Flora, RHP, UC...

Ohio Valley Regional Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘28 INF Christian Ramirez (OH) WALKS IT OFF for @CincyDBulls2028 to win the chip! Has shown impressive tools throughout the weekend and in this AB showed the ability to adjust to the offspeed and win the game. #OVElite pic.twitter.com/J3MXJXFnbM — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 5, 2026 Christian Ramirez (2028, Mason, Ohio) helped his team win the championship batting out of the two-hole. Though he didn’t win tournament MVP, Ramirez was my favorite player to watch take a plate appearance. He has an advanced feel for the zone and sees the ball out of the pitcher’s hand quicker than most. Ramirez led the tournament with eight walks, batting .375 with a .583 on-base percentage. Much more than just the approach, the swing is efficient with little wasted movement, creates quality separation, and puts him in an excellent position at contact. With such an...

Cape Cod Notebook No. 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cape Cod League Scouting Notebook  Maverick Rizy | Ole Miss | RHP | Brewster Whitecaps  The towering 6-foot-9, 250-pound right-hander continues to stand out with one of the more unique looks on the Cape, pairing a massive frame with a low three-quarter slot that creates difficult angles for hitters. While his fastball velocity was down from its typical mid-90s range during this look, working mostly 90-92 mph, it still generated plenty of swing-and-miss. He paired the heater with an 81-83 mph gyro slider featuring tight bullet-spin action and mixed in an 85-mph changeup with quality separation. Rizy battled his command early in the outing I saw, before settling in to strike out five over three innings, showing the ability to adjust as the game progressed. Through 12.2 Cape League innings, he has recorded 18 strikeouts, and his combination of size, deception, and projectability...

16u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 ‘28 C Nico Ayars (FL) coming off a monster game yesterday & comes up with the biggest swing of this one. A triple right down the LF line to drive in two. Came into today hitting .833 this week. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/Hvb7UvtkNi — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 8, 2026 Nico Ayars (2028, Fort Myers, Fla.) has just been on the barrel throughout the week so far, collecting six hits across the first four games of the tournament. That didn’t slow down on day three at Mt. Zion High School as he came up with the biggest swing of the day, hitting a triple down the left field line to drive in a pair. It’s been a standout week so far for Ayars and he’ll be a driving force behind the run through the tourney for CBU 2028 Scout Team Lawson. Rylan Jenkins (2028, Tennille, Ga.) put...

Tre Hallberg (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to deep LCF for a 2-run 💣. Continues to stand out at the plate. Power will only continue to develop #WWBAWest @PG_Uncommitted https://t.co/NlWlDygpwg pic.twitter.com/RHrgYXLmwm — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) July 10, 2026 Tre Hallberg (2027, Mesa, Ariz.) was nearly impossible to get out over the first two days of action, going 7-for-9 with a triple and a home run. A balanced right-handed swing stays compact to contact. There is quick hand speed through the zone with feel for the barrel. Hallberg has a strong feel to hit to go with power that continues to develop. The upside is apparent.  William Garcia Falmer (2027, El Dorado Hills, Calif.) collected a pair of mulit-hit games over the course of day one and two, going 5-for-7 with two doubles, a homer, and seven runs driven in. Garcia Falmer features a physical build...
