16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 3

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.

Starting from a narrow and upright, slightly open base, Greene does a great job of working directly to the point of impact with consistent hard line drive impact to the pull side of the field. He...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 68

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
Are You Fixated on the Wrong Variable? Why Pitch Count Alone Was Never Going to Prevent Arm Injuries   You know a family this happened to. You might be one. They did everything right. They followed the pitch count. They honored the rest days. They tracked innings. They sat him when the chart said sit. They were the parents who spoke up when a coach wanted one more inning in a bracket game. And he got hurt anyway. I've been working with throwers for a long time, and that conversation is the one I have quite often… A parent sitting across from me genuinely bewildered because they followed the rules and the rules did not work. They usually assume they missed something. Most of the time they didn't. They managed exactly what they were told to manage. The problem is that what they were told to manage is one variable out of four.   The Uncomfortable Part First   Throwing...

Cole Marquardt (2029, Montgomery, Texas) left no doubt this weekend as he came home with Tournament MVP honors for his work with Banditos 2028 Black. Went 7-10 with a double, a home run, a pair of triples, and the walk off single in the championship game. Projectable left-handed swing with plenty of tools to dream on. Bat to ball was on point all weekend and he had plenty of chances to show off an advanced run tool. Plenty to dream on moving forward. Callen Corley (2028, Houston, Texas) put together a stellar two-way performance for Houston Wildcatters Navy 2028. At the plate, he went 5-10 with a double, triple, and home run, driving in seven runs. Sinks into his lower half well and creates strong angles for leverage. Plenty of power upside remaining in that frame, to go along with the twitch already present. On the mound, Corley went four shutout innings, surrendering just one hit while...

Brayden Powell

Ryan Jones (2027, Tinley Park, IL) was one of the most productive hitters of the weekend, collecting six hits, including three doubles and a home run, while driving in nine runs. The left-handed hitter consistently got the barrel out front and created hard contact throughout the event. Working from an open setup with high hands, he features a compact swing that allows him to get to the ball quickly. His hand speed stood out and helped him drive the baseball to multiple parts of the field. Jones showed a strong understanding of pitches he could handle and rarely missed opportunities to do damage. The swing remains efficient through the zone and produces carry off the barrel. His combination of consistent contact and extra-base impact made him a key offensive contributor all weekend. Uncommitted  JP Elbert (2027, Dubuque, IA) put together an impressive tournament, finishing with five...

Walk. It. Off! ‘27 IF Drew Giles (GA) calls game here as he hammers a ball over the CF wall for a solo HR to win it in the bottom of the 7th. #FLQualifier pic.twitter.com/YrzspVZzUY — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) September 12, 2026 Drew Giles (2027, Brunswick, Ga.) took home MVP honors from the weekend after hitting .385 including a walkoff home run during pool play. Giles helped lead his Canes team to victory and did so with the bat. The swing is super short and simple and he gets immense jump off the barrel. It’s a level path through the zone but the blend of hit and power showed out all weekend for the MVP.  August Backman (2027, Venice, Fla.) had a solid weekend on both sides of the ball: hitting .333 over three games and also sitting 88-91 mph on the mound.

Joseph Mosley 2028, Hendersonville, Tenn.) showed the upside all weekend for Southeast Rawlings Mad Mavericks. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a low leg lift stride. Creates separation in the back shoulder with strength through the hands into a flat bat plane and line drive lift in the swing. Stays balanced throughout the swing and showed the feel to use the whole field. The outfielder has an athletic, strong 6-foot, 190-pound frame with more gap-to-gap type power to be unlocked. Collected four hits, including two triples, to drive in an RBI and came around to score three runs. Exciting player with two-way upside. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went two innings in relief with three strikeouts and spread three hits and three walks for one earned run. The fastball ran up to 87 and paired it with...

Zain Valdiva (‘28,CA) with an absolute nuke! 💣 https://t.co/oCCIuVeNFQ pic.twitter.com/xK9sirEk64 — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) September 11, 2026 Zain Valdivia, 3B, La Quinta, CA. ZT National (2028) Physical, right-handed hitter with present strength through the lower half and a frame that already looks the part of a corner infielder. He gets into his legs and stays connected through contact. The swing is aggressive and long through the zone with real extension out front. The ball jumps off the barrel and the power is present, Primary third baseman. Moves well enough for his size with some lateral quickness and a strong arm across the diamond. Two-way value exists; the fastball has been up to the upper 80s, 90, but the bat is the reason to follow him. Noah Paek (‘27,CA) with another solid hit cashing in 2 RBI.
