D1 College Championship Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Jordan Gates

Nick Morrow (2028, Liberty Township, Ohio) took home MVP honors after a blistering week at the plate. Morrow collected nine hits in the 21 at-bats, driving in 12 runs, and at one point had a three-game home run streak. It was a good way to end the summer to say the least. It’s a short, direct swing path with good feel for the barrel and bat speed. Morrow creates quality separation and gets good rotation around the front side. Keeps hands tight to the body and creates good leverage with the bat path. At 5-foot-11, 175-pounds, he will continue to gain strength as he is a notable two-sport athlete. Each time at the plate, there was a chance Morrow was going to wreak havoc.  
 

Carrson Franklin (2028, Franklin, Ohio) impressed on both sides of the ball. Whether that was his defensive versatility or his ability to find the barrel with his smooth left-handed swing. Defensively, it’s a true utility profile, looking comfortable at numerous positions in the infield, behind the plate or even in the outfield. At 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, the projectable frame is athletic and moves well for the size as he continues to grow into the body. As a hitter, it’s a longer swing path after impact but has the upper body strength right now to muscle balls into the gaps. Creates good strength from the ground up and shows a power profile with the ability to drive the ball around the yard. Good weight distribution prior to impact and has separation with strong hands.  



-Jordan Gates 
 

Andrew Hoffman (2027, Ypsilanti, Mich.) made an impact on both sides of the ball. Hoffman has a physical, athletic build at 5-foot-10, 165-pounds that plays bigger than the listed size. Hoffman uses a toe tap and long stride to get into an athletic hitting position before firming up the front side at foot strike. The stable base allows him to maintain balance through contact and create leverage. He consistently drove the baseball with authority to both gaps and the pull-side, including a go-ahead three-run home run. Hoffman plays with a noticeable energy and ran hard out of the box with good speed around the bases. Defensively, he showed smooth actions at shortstop with clean footwork, a reliable glove, and a strong arm across the diamond. His internal clock stood out, and he displayed range up the middle with good movement to his left. 
 

Tim Crayton (2028, McDonald, Penn.) brings a physical presence at 6-foot, 204-pounds with broad shoulders and good strength throughout the lower half. Crayton carries himself with confidence and shows leadership traits through his actions behind the dish. He works with a simple load before an explosive launch, transferring his weight efficiently without excess movement. He lands on a firm lead leg, giving him a stable base to rotate around while maintaining balance through contact. Crayton swings with intent and generates standout bat speed and exit velocity, showing present pull-side power. Behind the dish, Crayton showed sound receiving and blocking fundamentals, working his hips back and chest down to keep the ball in front. He also produced strong, accurate throws and displayed advanced baseball IQ and situational awareness, using a fake throw to second to help create a double play.  

McCoy "Moose" Marksbury (2027, Cincinnati, Ohio) carried a no-hitter through six innings, striking out 11 while issuing three walks. The 6-foot, 195-pound athletic southpaw owns a physical frame with good strength in his lower half. Marksbury works with a high leg kick and long stride, creating downhill action and good extension toward the plate. He hides the ball well before it pops out of a three-quarter slot where the fastball and slider tunnel effectively.  The delivery is repeatable with controlled tempo, and Moose maintained his velocity deep into the outing. Marksbury generally maintained good direction by getting squared to the plate, though he occasionally opened toward the right-handed batter’s box. The fastball worked at 81-82 mph topping out at 84 with quality carry, showing his best command to the arm-side. His 72-73 mph slider featured sharp break, giving him a reliable secondary that showed his ability to put spin on the baseball.  

Shea Dillon (2027, Cincinnati, Ohio) earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors after allowing just two hits and striking out 14 across eight innings, highlighted by a five-inning no-hitter. The athletic 6-foot, 175-pound left-hander brings high energy to the mound with an aggressive, deceptive delivery from a mid three-quarter slot. He finishes hard over his front side with his back leg whipping through after release. The fastball lived at 80-81 mph and reached 84 with carry and flashes of arm-side run, while showing the ability to locate both sides of the plate. He paired it with a low-70s slider that featured quality shape and depth. The fastball and slider played well off the same tunnel, keeping hitters uncomfortable in both outings.  

Gabe Howell (2028, Hamilton, Ohio) responded to a shaky first outing where his control struggled by throwing a complete-game shutout, striking out nine while allowing four hits and one walk across seven innings. The 6-foot-2, 157-pound southpaw owns a thin, projectable frame with long limbs and considerable room to add strength. Howell works with an easy lower half before becoming more aggressive through the upper body. The stride is presently on the shorter side, limiting some extension, but the length and physical projection suggest more remains in the tank as the delivery develops. His fastball worked at 79-80 mph and topped out at 82 with quality arm-side run, while a high-60s slider showed quality shape and depth, giving Howell a usable second offering. Howell featured a deceptive move to first that closely mirrored his delivery to the plate, creating hesitation for both the baserunner and hitter. He competed with noticeable effort and toughness diving for a popped-up bunt, colliding with the catcher, and immediately returning to the mound.  
 

Luc Turgeon (2029, Caledon, Ont.) overpowered hitters across 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out five. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound RHP works from a low three-quarter slot with a controlled, repeatable delivery. Turgeon uses his back leg to generate force down the mound and finishes through his pitches well. The fastball lived at 86-88 mph, reaching 90 mph once and 89 mph three times, while showing quality carry with flashes of arm-side run and generating 11 whiffs. He showed confidence attacking hitters with the fastball and was not afraid to challenge them in the strike zone. Turgeon kept a low-70s curveball in his back pocket, throwing it once during his second outing. 

-Jake Swearingen  
 

Grant Potcova (2029, Monroe, Mich.) plays on one of the most talented 15U teams in the area and can occasionally be overshadowed by teammates with louder present tools. However, I believe Potcova is the best pure hitter on the roster and has the potential to ultimately become its highest-ranked prospect. He has an uncanny ability to get the barrel to the baseball, pairing a compact, repeatable swing with excellent rhythm and timing. Potcova consistently gets into a premium position at contact, maintaining excellent posture with a quiet head, the body working behind the baseball, and keeping everything out front where he can see it. Despite using a larger leg kick, the operation remains remarkably quiet as he rotates around a firm front side, allowing the barrel to stay on plane deep through the zone while producing advanced bat-to-ball skills with minimal swing and miss. Potcova always appears calm in the box, and the game never seems to speed him up, consistently thriving in two-strike counts and clutch situations. He routinely hits hard line drives to all fields. At 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, there's still plenty of room to continue adding strength, and there's reason to believe those line drives will begin turning into considerably more extra-base damage as he matures physically. Throughout the tournament, he batted .667 (8-for-12) with four walks for a .750 on-base percentage, scored nine runs, and stole four bases. Potcova's plus hit tool will take him far, and as he continues to add strength and physically mature, he has a chance to become one of the more highly regarded prospects in the 2029 class. 


Grady Jeffries (2029, Traverse City, Mich.) immediately stood out with one of the more physically impressive frames in the tournament. At 6-foot, 168 pounds, Jeffries possesses a lean, muscular build that already generates easy power, yet still projects to add more strength over the next several years. The athletic center fielder batted .368 (7-for-19) with three triples, four runs scored, and six RBI. He showcased that power throughout the weekend, driving one ball to the 330-foot wall in right-center field and another deep into the left-center gap. His well above-average speed allowed him to turn both into triples. Jeffries presets the front hip, keeps the hands back deep into the load, and builds momentum into foot strike before generating impressive barrel whip through the zone. While there is some present swing and miss to his game, the combination of strength, athleticism, bat speed, and physical projection gives him all the ingredients to develop into a high-impact player. 

Kane Sekelsky (2029, Clio, Mich.) dominated at the plate throughout the tournament, finishing as the No. 1 Top Performer in the 15U division. He led the field with 14 hits, batting .667 (14-for-21) with two doubles, two triples, seven runs scored, and six RBI over six games. Sekelsky's operation at the plate is simple and repeatable. He uses a small leg lift to get on time, keeps the head quiet, gets the front foot down early, and rotates around a firm front side. The compact move allows the hands to work freely through the zone, producing quality bat speed and advanced bat-to-ball skills. He paired his physical 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame with advanced bat-to-ball skills, going the entire tournament without a strikeout in 21 at-bats. He also split time between third base and shortstop, where his soft hands and clean actions were evident. There are very few holes in Sekelsky's game. As he continues to add strength to his already projectable frame, the power should take another step forward. 


Scout Lonaker (2031, Findlay, Ohio) was one of the youngest players in the tournament at just 13 years old, yet looked right at home competing against 15U competition. He impacted the game on both sides of the ball, batting .462 (6-for-13) with two doubles, a home run, five runs scored, and six RBI. On the mound, he dialed the fastball up to 80 mph. Lonaker showed an advanced feel for pitching, commanding two distinct breaking balls, something that’s uncommon for a 13-year-old. He paired a sharp low 70s slider with two-plane break and a high 60s curveball that featured excellent depth and played well off the fastball. At the plate, he features a fluid, efficient swing with a level swing path. He also possesses the speed to impact the game on both the bases and in the field. What stood out most, however, was how advanced he looked both physically and mentally for a 13-year-old. Lonaker's advanced instincts and feel for the game are rare for his age, giving him one of the higher ceilings among players in the 2031 class.  

Jaxson Fyvie (2030, Holly, Mich.) thrived against older competition throughout the tournament, emerging as one of the top two-way performers. He batted .400 (6-for-15) with a home run, two doubles, four runs scored, six RBI, and three walks to no strikeouts. Fyvie generates impressive in-game power for his age, keeping the hands exceptionally tight to the body and maintaining excellent connection between the upper and lower halves throughout the swing. The athletic right-handed hitter launched a no-doubt home run over the tall left-field fence at UC and possesses a compact, muscular frame that should continue to produce more power as he matures. He was equally effective on the mound, tossing a complete game while allowing just one unearned run on four hits and two walks, striking out six. Fyvie consistently attacked the zone, repeating his delivery well throughout the outing. His ability to contribute on both sides of the ball made him one of the tournament's most complete performers.  

Jack Krakowski (2029, Ypsilanti, Mich.) put together one of the most impressive all-around performances of the tournament, finishing as the No. 2 Top Performer offensively and No. 3 on the mound while also handling catching duties throughout the week. He batted .526 (10-for-19) with six doubles, seven runs scored, seven RBI, and did not strike out. Krakowski generates easy bat speed, rotating aggressively to consistently produce loud contact while finishing short through the zone. The physical 6-foot-1, 170-pound backstop possesses a projectable frame and consistently produced quality contact throughout the tournament. He was equally impressive on the mound, tossing five innings of one-run ball while striking out nine and walking none. Krakowski consistently attacked the strike zone, showing advanced command and confidence throughout the outing. With his offensive production, defensive value behind the plate, and success on the mound, few players impacted the tournament in as many ways as Krakowski did.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense
Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...
