South Underclass Qualifier Scout Notes

Geoff Billock
Jay Vossler
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 striking out seven. His fastball sits in the upper 80s, getting up to 90. Strong feel for the breaker in the mid 70s. Moves free and easy down the mound and the ball jumps out of his high 3/4 slot.



Tyler Hiserote (2028, Pflugerville, Texas) was dynamic this weekend for Texas Twelve Capital City 2028 Trojans. Went 5-12 at the dish with three doubles, a home run, and seven runs batted in. Uber physical right-handed swing. Loose actions and a synced up process. Uses strength to his advantage as he pulverizes the pull-side. The upside was more than evident.

Gianluca "Luca" Gangeri (2030, Houston, Texas) put together yet another solid tournament for Texans Scout 2030. Reached base nine times on the weekend, including a 4-6 showing at the plate with two doubles. Plenty of length in the frame. Uses his levers to his advantage as he creates leverage working uphill. There is definitely some power upside there and his feel for the barrel at this stage is impressive.

Nathaniel Long (2029, Houston, Texas) had some serious flashes on the bump for Wildcatters National 2029. Pretty high level stuff for the class. Went three shutout innings, striking out five, surrendering just one hit and no walks. Commanded the zone at a high level with 75% strikes. Mid-80s heater up to 87. Really quality slider that he showed advanced feel for, using it on both sides of the plate. Physical frame with easy actions. The pitchability makes Long an extremely intriguing prospect.

Jake Pardue (2028, Austin, Texas) was an absolute hit machine for Lonestar Baseball Club - National - 2028. 6-14 at the plate with two doubles, driving in three runs. Really strong feel for the barrel, working gap to gap with authority. Strong lower half and more than enough bat speed to dream on some power upside in the not so distant future. Absolute spark plug out of the leadoff spot all weekend.

Devin Loane (2028, Austin, Texas) had a really solid tournament for Lodestar Baseball Club - National - 2028. 5-8 showing with a pair of triples and three driven in. Easy process at the plate, with very little wasted movement as he attacks the bottom of the zone with some consistency. Also showcased some serious defensive upside at catcher, with a quick release and good reads on blocks.

-Jay Vossler


Valentin Ceballos (2028, New Braunfels, Texas) was as good as it gets in what was a quick two inning burst. He ended up going two perfect innings while striking out the side both times. First inning out he threw nine out of eleven pitches for strikes all to lefties and showed the full kitchen sink. Ceballos continues to get better every time out and is really starting to show the immense ceiling for what it could be. It’s four pitches, all for strikes and the stuff plays. Fastball worked 88-92 and played firm with late riding life. It comes out easy and can get located with ease. He showed a disgusting change at 79 with hard fading drop. He backdoored a curve to a lefty at 75 with healthy shape and true depth to it and throws the pitch with intent. On top of all this, Ceballos has started implementing a slider into his repertoire and it’s a good one at that. Slider hovered 81-82 with sharp 2-plane bite and tightness to it. It looked like a legit pitch, and he threw it often in his second inning out. The 6-2 righty is currently committed to Oklahoma. 

Landon Patterson (2028, Georgetown, Texas) showed a ton of intrigue off the bump going three shutout innings while striking out three batters. Patterson stands in at 6-foot-0 with ample projection remaining with plenty of room to grow with added strength. He sat 84-88 with his fastball while topping out at 89 with hard running life working East to West well. It’s low effort gas from an arm that works with easy repeatable mechanics. Patterson likes to attack the zone and is not afraid to pound the inner half. He went to a change often in the 79-81 range with fade and rolls out the hand easy while mimicking arm speed. Overall, Patterson can really pitch and pitch-ability stood out in this look. There is absolutely no reason for him to remain uncommitted as the projection is very real and the velo will continue to trend upwards.

Giovani Rodriguez (2029, Alton, Texas) was absolute nails in this look going four shutout frames while striking out nine batters. Rodriguez stands in at 6-foot-2 and still has plenty of projection remaining. The arm is quick and everything comes out easy from a low effort repeatable operation. He worked up to 91 with has fastball and settled in the 85-89 range with late riding life and that fastball surely does have a second gear to it. Curve mixed in at 70-77 with sharp late bite and varied in shape between 10-4 and 11-5. He landed it often and showed really good feel for it overall. He also mixed in a change in the 78-83 range. It’s three quality pitches with feel for strikes and should only get better as he is just barely scratching the surface right now. It would not be surprising to see a continued uptick in velo as Rodriguez continues to develop and he has plenty of time to do so.


Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) is really starting to come into his own and it really showed well all weekend. Langerhans, a high-end premium athlete manning short stop certainly looks the part out there. He moves well with footwork and lateral range and everything he does on the dirt he makes look easy. Always in the right spot and always on time, Langerhans has the baseball IQ to go with the overall athleticism it takes to stick at the premium position. In the box, he consistently works quality at-bats and the bat to ball has continued to play at a high level. A simple all fields approach with strong ability to really impact it to the pull-side gap has made Langerhans a premium bat at this level. He finished the week going 6-16 with three triples and more gap power is starting to show up. It’s a smooth lefty swing that gets into lower half well and generates a ton of bat speed with now impact. Langerhans is currently uncommitted but shouldn’t be for long. 

Jack Jenkins (2028, Georgetown, Texas) has picked up right where he left off after a loud Summer at the plate. He ended the week going 9-13 with four doubles while driving in eight runs and scoring nine runs. Altogether Jenkins was a force to be reckoned with in the box and one of the toughest outs on the weekend. Jenkins has plenty of pop but has really started to show real hitter traits as he can work the count and go all fields with authority. The bat to ball is starting to play at an extremely high level and everything he hit is hit hard with intent. It’s a smooth and powerful lefty swing with plenty of feel to lift and launch the ball but he does not sell out for the pull-side. He can go with the pitch the other way just as well as he can go to the pull-side. It’s easy power to all fields and something tells me Jenkins will be a name that everyone has on their radar as he continues to show out.


Seve Amador (2028, The Woodlands, Texas) once again showed well on both sides of the ball throughout the weekend. He picked up right where he left off after a strong finish to the Summer circuit. Amador finished the weekend going 5-9 that included a homer that got out on a line. The bat to ball has always seemed to play at a high level but now he is starting to get into power which makes him far more intriguing than before. Amador has a smooth lefty swing and does a really nice job getting into his lower half while keeping the weight back. Head stays still which allows him to stay on it and make consistently hard contact. The at-bats are polished paired with strong ability to make hard contact makes Amador a serious threat in the box. He also looked good out on the dirt manning shortstop and looking the part. Amador should be on everyone’s radar down the stretch here as the production continues to show up.

Chase Petro (2029, Spring, Texas) showed well throughout the weekend on both sides of the ball as he went 5-10 with three doubles. Petro is a really good athlete who can play all over the dirt and moves well. He sets up in the box from the left side with a balanced base and the swing works well to all fields. He can match multiple planes and covers the entire plate well with his path which is catered to all fields and making consistent hard contact. Swing has plenty of bat speed to go with it. Like the overall approach and ability to shorten up when needed never overswinging or selling out for the pull-side. He works good at-bats and tends to always be on the barrel. Petro is definitely a name to keep an eye on and one that should continue to rise up the ranks.

Robert Adam (2029, Houston, Texas) swung it well all weekend as he went 5-12 that included a double that nearly left the yard off a tough lefty. Adam stands in at 6-foot-3 and is as physical as it gets at this age. It’s a powerful swing and can be adjustable for what it is. He swings with absolute intent and when on it, hits the ball as hard as anyone. He showed strong pitch recognition and good ability to adjust to spin. The power is very real in this profile and it would not be surprising to see him launching balls out sometime soon as it certainly projects well.

Zach Johnson (2028, Overland Park, Kansas) really impressed throughout the weekend and finished going 5-8 that included a no-doubt homerun. Johnson might not be the biggest dude on the field but he certainly has the thump in his bat to make you look twice. It’s a short and quick lefty swing with plenty of bat speed. He stays connected well throughout the process and really gets into it which allows him to generate a ton of power with good feel to lift. Ball comes off his barrel sizzling hot and the bat to ball plays at a high level. Liked the overall swing paired with his swing decisions and ability to make hard contact. Overall, Johnson is a good athlete who can really hit all the while looking the part out at short. He will definitely be a name to track over the coming years.

Maddox Larkins (2029, Montgomery, Texas) was solid throughout the weekend and opened up the tournament with a strong 3-hit game that included a pair of extra base-hits. Larkins sets up in the box with a balanced base and the swing works well to all fields with more power showing up to the pull-side. The swing is short and compact to the ball which allows bat to ball to play at a high level. The impact comes off easy and the path can match multiple planes within the zone. Overall, liked the swing and the ability to really impact it to the pull-side.

Midwest Labor Day Classic Scout Notes
Brayden Powell
Article Image
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. Backman, a Florida commit who is nationally ranked, has a three pitch mix highlighted by a really...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo 💣 on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers. Excellent hit/run combo and here comes the juice! #PGHS #Miami commit @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/g4gtml81mm — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) April 1, 2026 Prep: OF, Jake...
