16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2
 
Preston Hamelynck (2028, Clearwater, FL) continued his high-level play today with a multi hit game, including an opposite field double. Now has four extra base hits for the tournament. An athletic infielder with a dynamic offensive skill set. Has been one of the best players on the field at 16u BCS this year. 

Evan Goodmon (2028, Winter Garden, FL) had one of the biggest swings of the day launching a home run to left centerfield. An intriguing right handed power hitter that has hit home runs in multiple tournaments now this summer. Swing has natural leverage with strength and bat speed. Gets to a launch position and puts quality swings on the baseball.



Dean Roche (2028, Northport, NY) a smooth swinging left-handed hitter that had a multi hit and multi RBI day today. Really balanced, and on plane swings. Gets on time consistently and drives through the baseball. Had the look of a polished middle of the order bat today. Has a lot of traits to like and develop with the potential of becoming an outfielder that hits for a blend of average and power. 

Thomas Fleischman (2027, Medford, NY) was dominant in a short stint start on the mound today. Throwing two scoreless innings and striking out four. Showed a quality fastball that got downhill with arm side sink in the 84-88 mph range. Used a mid to upper 70s slider as a primary swing and miss out pitch. Intriguing all around armed talent. 

Kole Griffin (2028, West Palm Beach, FL) had four total hits today across six at bats. Including a three-for-three game with a double. A physical right handed hitter with a simple fundamentally sound approach and the natural strength to impact the baseball. Handled the barrel really well today and showed the traits of a developing middle of the order run producer. 

-Blaine Peterson

’28 RHP Scott Stewart worked up to 81 mph, filling up the strike zone and trusting his defense to make plays behind him. The 5-9, 140-pound right-hander repeated a simple, fluid delivery well, throwing consistent strikes and showing the ability to efficiently attack hitters.

’28 RHP Grayson Davis is the 89th-ranked RHP in Florida and 846th nationally. Davis worked up to 84 mph, consistently filling the strike zone while showing feel for both his fastball and a low-70s curveball. The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander has a projectable frame with more velocity to come and repeated his delivery well throughout the outing.

’28 LHP Cameron Sousa worked efficiently in the low-80s, showing feel for a quality breaking ball that generated swing-and-miss. Mixed the pitch well, starting it at the top of the zone or out of the hand before finishing down. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound left-hander repeated a fluid delivery and kept hitters off balance throughout. 

Santiago Quintero (2027, North Port, Fla.), a 5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed pitcher, worked up to 83 mph with his fastball while consistently getting ahead in counts. Showed feel for a tight off-speed pitch, mixing it effectively to keep hitters off balance. Repeated a fluid delivery and filled the strike zone throughout.

Darien Quiceno (2028, Scotch Plains, N.J.), a 6-foot, 160-pound right-handed pitcher, worked up to 84 mph with his fastball and mixed in a quality curveball. The High Follow prospect showed consistent strike-throwing ability, attacking the zone with confidence while repeating a clean, athletic delivery.

’28 SS Archer Ellis (Island Coast, Fla.), the No. 38-ranked shortstop in Florida and No. 256 nationally, came out firing with a 91 mph fastball in his first inning of work. The PG 7.5 prospect paired an 83 mph changeup with a slider in the mid-to upper-70s, showing quality depth and feel for a three-pitch mix. The left-hander attacked the zone with confidence and continued to miss barrels throughout the outing.

-Brady Wall

2029 C AJ Cuasay (FL) pulled an RBI double into the right-field corner, showing a quick, compact left-handed swing with quality barrel control. The athletic leadoff type profiles as a speed-oriented player who consistently finds the barrel and puts pressure on the defense. 

2027 3B Erik J. Ceballos Urbaez (PR) put together an impressive offensive performance, collecting a pair of doubles while consistently impacting the baseball. He creates natural lift and backspin through the zone with quality bat speed, allowing the ball to carry well to the gaps. The right-handed hitter showed present strength and the ability to consistently produce hard contact, making for an intriguing power profile moving forward. 

2027 RHP Hudson Walden (NY) ran the fastball up to 84 mph while pairing it with a low-70s slider that proved to be his best offering. The slider consistently landed in the zone with late bite, generating weak contact and empty swings throughout the outing. Walden showed confidence throwing both pitches in any count and competed well on the mound. 

2028 RHP Henry Mills (FL) worked with a low-effort delivery while attacking hitters early in counts. The fastball reached 87 mph, and his slider showed sharp, late downward action while tunneling effectively off the heater. Mills repeated his delivery well and consistently generated uncomfortable swings with the two-pitch mix. 

2029 OF Owen Windham (FL) continued an impressive tournament while playing up an age group, finishing the weekend 6-for-11 with four extra-base hits. The young outfielder consistently found the barrel, showing advanced feel for contact and the ability to drive the baseball with authority. His production against older competition stood out throughout the event. 

2028 OF Nathaniel Peña Santiago (PR) came through with a bases-clearing double into the right-center gap to break the game open in the first inning. The right-handed hitter showed an efficient bat path and consistently worked the barrel out front, creating quality impact with carry to the gaps. The swing works with a present feel for the barrel and projects well moving forward. 

-Alex Pena

Hudson Wesley (2028, Bethalto, IL) put together a dominant, complete-game performance on the mound this morning, tossing 5 scoreless innings while allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk alongside an explosive 10-strikeout effort. Currently unranked, he is a sleeper who seems to be falling under the radar, though that should change quickly following this display. He brought the heat early and often, comfortably sitting in the 84-87 mph range while running his fastball up to 88 mph with clean, late life. He complemented his mid-80s heater with a nice curveball that features late, harsh break, using it as a putaway pitch to rack up double-digit strikeouts. Beyond his raw arm talent, he showed off a mature pitchability by utilizing a quick pitch a few times to vary his tempo and throw off the hitters' timing in the box. Dictating the pace of the game while pairing high-strikeout stuff with control, he projects as high-upside arm who is due for a significant rise in prospect rankings. 

Sage Lelm (2028, Tremont, IL) put together an explosive offensive performance today, demonstrating plate patience by staying back on a curveball and driving it out for a grand slam. Currently unranked, he has been a force at the plate throughout the tournament, compiling a 5-for-10 over four games with a double, two home runs, eight RBI, two walks, and just two strikeouts. Set up in a low and open stance, he employs a subtle, controlled leg kick to initiate his load, keeping his weight centered and allowing him to track breaking balls deep into the zone without lunging. His quiet pre-pitch setup and short, repeatable leg kick allow him to generate quick torque through his lower half while maintaining hand-eye coordination and balance. By remaining patient on off speed pitches, he consistently finds the barrel and elevates the ball with run-producing leverage. His current tournament split showcases a mix of barrel accuracy and legitimate power potential, making him a under-the-radar prospect who should see a rise in rankings as he continues to display this kind of middle-of-the-order production. 

Ashton Pittman (2029, Trinity, NC) put his two-way skillset on showcase today, taking the mound as the starting pitcher while continuing a good tournament at the plate as the nation's 77th-ranked outfielder. The left-hander worked 2 innings, racking up 4 strikeouts while surrendering just 1 hit and 1 earned run. On the bump, he ran his fastball up to 86 mph—just shy of the 87 mph peak he touched last weekend—while comfortable sitting in the 83-85 mph velocity band. He offers an advanced four-pitch mix, leveraging a slider, curveball, and changeup to disrupt timing and generate swing-and-miss stuff across the board. While his pitch design and multi-pitch repertoire give him a high ceiling on the mound, he issued 4 walks in his brief outing, making strike-throwing and command consistency the area for developmental focus. Standing at 6’2”, he shows his true athleticism shines through at the plate, where he is swinging a loud bat this weekend—bashing his way to a 5-for-9 start with a double and an RBI. The southpaw's loose athleticism, natural barrel control, and intriguing four-pitch foundation make him a compelling two-way prospect whose overall stock will climb rapidly as he continues to refine his control on the mound. 

Aidan Juarbe (2027, Orlando, FL) got the start today and looked sharp on the mound, offering a glimpse into his high-upside future as a pitcher. He put his two-way athleticism on display, running his fastball up to 88 mph while sitting comfortably in the 84-86 mph range across 3.1 innings of work. He allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits while punching out 4 batters, leveraging a sharp slider that generated late depth to keep hitters off-balance and miss bats. His raw arm talent, loose arm action, and projection on the mound show clear upside as an arm at the next level. While he navigated through a few tight spots—issuing 3 walks—his ability to pair a late-life mid-80s fastball with a sharp secondary pitch allows him to control ABs and project with high ceiling potential. As he continues to hone his strike-throwing efficiency and repeat his mechanics, his athletic foundation and lively arm suggest a pitchability ceiling that could easily see him excel on the mound in college ball. 
 
Wyatt Rayburn (2028, Marquez, TX) possesses a high-waisted, highly projectable frame at 6'4", 205 pounds, look every bit the part of a 200th ranked outfielder in the nation. Coming out of the bullpen today, he immediately set the tone with an aggressive two-inning relief appearance, allowing just one hit and zero earned runs while fanning two batters. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph—having previously touched 88 mph—and paired it with a truly nasty slider that generated late depth and swing-and-miss shape to put hitters away cleanly. His athleticism translates seamlessly to the batter's box, where he is currently 3-for-7 with a double and 3 RBI this tournament. That success is part of a massive sample size this calendar year, where he has dominated Perfect Game events to the tune of an incredible .439 batting average (18-for-41), a .556 on-base percentage, and an elite 1.141 OPS across 18 games. With his rare blend of physical size, middle-of-the-order offensive consistency, and late-inning high-leverage arm talent, he stands out as a complete two-way ceiling prospects in the class.

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Brayden Powell
Article Image
Bryce Urban (2027, Kaukauna, Wis.) An athletic 5-foot-9, 175-pound right-handed hitter, who handled the bat well throughout the weekend while showing feel for the barrel and quality bat speed. Stays balanced throughout the operation while showing direct hands to the baseball. There is feel to rotate through the zone and keep the barrel working for an extended period, helping him consistently produce hard-hit contact. He showed the ability to impact the baseball to all fields and remained productive throughout the event. Urban finished the weekend with five extra-base hits and continued to be a reliable offensive contributor whenever his club needed him. He is currently uncommitted.  Landon Clements (2027, McHenry, Ill.)

Cape Cod League Notebook: August 3

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Angel Cervantes | RHP | UCLA | Chatham Anglers  Angel Cervantes has lived up to the hype since arriving at UCLA after turning down a second-round selection (50th overall) by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2025 MLB Draft. Following a strong freshman campaign that helped power the Bruins to the No. 1 ranking in the country for much of the season, Cervantes has taken another step forward this summer, emerging as arguably the Cape Cod League's top arm. Through 23.2 innings with the Chatham Anglers, he owns a 1.14 ERA with 24 strikeouts and just five walks. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound right-hander attacks hitters with a polished five-pitch mix featuring a low-90s fastball, an 86-88 mph cutter, a low-80s slider and changeup, and a 78-80 mph curveball. He pounds the strike zone, sequences his arsenal with advanced feel, and consistently keeps hitters off balance, giving him the profile of a...

Jay Vossler

Kai Anderson (2028, Missouri City, Texas) continued his breakout stretch over the past couple of weeks with 2028 South Texas Sliders 16U Pierce. Compiled a 7-15 week with two doubles, a triple, and two home runs, driving in nine runs. Parlayed that into winning Tournament MVP. Physical presence in the box that is starting to tap into a ton of juice offensively. Tight rotation on an uphill plane with loose actions in the barrel. Doing all of this with very little swing and miss while holding it down in center field. One of the louder stretches of the summer. Trent Costales (2028, San Antonio, Texas) was excellent this week for Texas Angels 2028 Libson. Went 4-11 with two doubles and a home run. Was one of the best run creators in the tournament, driving in ten. Extremely physical frame, projecting as a big time power bat. Coils the hips effectively and creates an uphill plane to maximize...

East World Series Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Evan Brand (2027, Acworth, Ga.) has been solid at the plate all summer and did not slow down late in the summer. This week, Brand was able to hit just under the .700 mark and tallied three extra base hits, including a homer. The switch hitter has a fluid barrel path with plus feel for the barrel to all fields. The lower half also moves with some rhythm, and the switch hitting ability with the accuracy to the barrel provides plenty of intrigue. The middle infielder is committed to Georgia Tech. Atley Schwarzrock (‘27 GA) catches of all of the first pitch he sees launching it over the wall in left for a 2-run 💣 sending it with some heat; stays loose in his progressing ripping the barrel thru the zone with some strength behind it and staying tall on impact. #EastWS… pic.twitter.com/oGxbPQN1W0 — Perfect Game Georgia (@PG_Georgia) July 27, 2026 Atley Schwarzrock (2027,...
