The Number and Level of Prospects in Unprecedented in Jupiter.

The quality of players at the 2003 World Wood Bat Association/Perfect Game/Baseball America World Championship is unprecedented. There has never been such a talented group of players. Here are some quick notes on some of the top players who will be playing in Jupiter this weekend. RHP Nick Adenhardt (All Star Baseball Academy/VA): Adenhardt was some scout’s pick as the top prospect at last year’s World Championship. He’s done nothing since then to discourage such opinions. 1B Tyler Beranek (Wisconsin Blazers/WI): The 6-5 Beranek might have the best raw power in the country, and he’s a top athlete as well. SS Eric Campbell (Indiana Yankees/IN): Campbell was the star of the 2003 summer circuit, especially with his power potential and intense instincts for the game. RHP Jason Corder (Baseball America/CA): Corder is a hard throwing right hander from Southern California who has topped the prospect charts for his class for some time. RHP Erik Davis (Nor Cal/CA): Davis was the top pitcher at the Perfect Game National Showcase and for the USA National Junior Team this past summer. He has excellent stuff and a delivery similar to Mark Prior’s. OF Dexter Fowler (East Cobb Astros/GA): Fowler is an extraordinary athlete at 6-4, 180 lbs, with well above average speed and arm strength. LHP/1B Luke French (Colorado Slammers/CO): French and Steve Marquardt (see below) are very similar, only French is flipped over to the left side of the mound and plate. He’s extremely strong. RHP Andy Gale (Baseball America/NH): Probably the most polished high school pitcher in the country; not surprising as dad, Rich, pitched in the big leagues for years and has coached since. C Alex Garabedian (Team Florida USA/FL): The powerful Garabedian reminds some scouts of a young Javy Lopez. He’s considered the top catcher in the country at the Championship. OF Greg Golson (Baseball America/TX): The fastest player and perhaps the best athlete in the 2004 class. He’s still baseball raw, but has a very high ceiling. LHP Geo Gonzalez (Miami Thunderstorms/FL): Gonzalez was the winning pitcher in the Florida 6A high school championship game as both a freshman and sophomore. Now he’s a senior and his stuff has caught up with his savvy and command. RHP Javier Guerra (Dallas Panthers/TX): If there was a vote for the “Pitcher I’d Least Like to Face”, it would probably Guerra, whose unorthodox delivery and nasty stuff is intimidating. SS Taylor Harbin (East Cobb Astros, GA): The Astros have imported Harbin, an extremely polished middle infielder, to replace the country’s top prospect, SS-RHP Chris Nelson, who is out after elbow surgery. RHP Jeremy Hellickson (Team Florida USA/IA): A Class of 2005 hurler whose arm is as quick and smooth as any prep pitcher in the country. Watch out when he start’s to physically mature! OF Jario Hernandez (Baseball America/Dominican Rep.): We’re told that he has the whole tool box at 6-4, 200 lbs. Top shelf bidding for teenage foreign free agents has fallen off, but some teams will be looking for the next Miguel Cabrera. RHP Eric Hurley (Hitmaster Expos/FL): Hurley is a projectable right hander who already touches 94 mph. He may be matched up with All Star Baseball RHP Nick Adenhart in a early Pool game. SS Cale Iorg (Knoxville Yard/TN): There are many sons of ex-Major Leaguers in the Championship. Garth Iorg’s son, a speedy right handed hitting shortstop, might be the best of the group. 3B/RHP Steve Marquardt (Baseball Northwest/WA): Marquardt is one of the top 2 way players in the country, with low 90’s velocity off the mound and a powerful home run stroke at the plate. OF-LHP John Matulia (Chet Lemon’s Juice/FL): Matulia, a 2005 player, was the Most Valuable Player of the WWBA World Junior Championship is early October. The Juice’s sponsor is the former Major League outfielder, whose son, Marcus, is the team’s starting shortstop and a top 2006 prospect. OF Warren McFadden (All Star Baseball Academy/FL): McFadden is a 5-tool outfielder who dominated the showcase circuit last summer. His power is starting to blossom. RHP Luke Putkomen (East Cobb Astros/GA): If there was a award for “Most Projectable Pitcher”, the 6-5, 185 Putkomen might be the leading contender. He’s loose and easy and throws 91 already. LHP Mike Rozier (Baseball America/GA): Rozier is splitting time with football this fall, where he is a top ranked prep QB. At 6-6, 220, he’s a ready made left handed pitching prospect with a low to mid 90’s fastball. OF Michael Taylor (Baseball America/FL): At 6-6, 230, Taylor is an imposing specimen that NFL/college football recruiters can only dream about. This 5-tool player is an academic standout and “baseball only”. SS-CF Justin Upton (All Star Baseball Academy/VA): Justin’s brother B.J. was the 2nd pick in the 2002 draft. Justin, a 16 year old Class of 2005 player, is already considered at least as good a prospect by most scouts.

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk. '27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Fresh off a state championship for Bading High School, he has picked up where he has left off this spring. It seems that he gets bigger each time I see him, but the frame really works on both sides of the ball at 6-feet, 190-pounds. It’s athletic and the actions on both sides are extremely advanced. Sawyer took home MVP honors after finishing with nine hits, six going for extra bases including two home runs, nine RBIs and eight runs scored. It’s electric at...

Texas Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74. North-south approach with a super steep release. Showed some really good feel for the zone and sequenced effectively to keep hitters off balance. Tristan Wright (2028, Magnolia, Texas) put on a show for Banditos 2028...
