MINK League top 15 prospects (list)
Perfect Game Summer Collegiate top prospect coverage

The 2011 MINK League had only two of its players drafted last June (a pair of lowly 29
th
-rounders), which may explain why the league is lightly scouted and scouts typically have a difficult time wrapping their arms around the assembled talent. Not even Missouri State righthander Nick Petree, who was ranked No. 1 on this list a year ago while pitching for Sedalia, was drafted, even as he may have been the most-dominant pitcher in college baseball last spring.

Undeterred, we’ve elected to go down this road again and select another Sedalia pitcher as the MINK League’s top talent, in this case Arkansas lefthander Michael Gunn. The choice may end up becoming somewhat problematical as Gunn worked only six innings on the summer for the Bombers, but he at least has a higher perceived upside than Petree, who admittedly has only average stuff but is a pitcher in the true sense of the word.

Beyond Gunn, the other distinguishing theme among the MINK League’s top prospects this summer is the preponderance of junior-college players who used the summer to help transition themselves to the four-year college ranks. After Gunn, the next five players fit into this category, led by St. Joseph third baseman Shane Segovia, who has transferred from Northeast Texas CC to Missouri.

Segovia played a key role in leading St. Joseph to a second straight MINK League title, highlighted by a dramatic two-run rally in the bottom of the 10th
 inning in a 7-6 win over Sedalia in the third and deciding game of the league’s best-of-3 championship series. From there, the Mustangs went on to represent the MINK League well in the 32-team National Baseball Congress World Series, finishing a respectable fourth.

TOP 15 PROSPECTS

1. MICHAEL GUNN, lhp/of, Sedalia Bombers (Arkansas/SO in 2013)
SCOUTING PROFILE: Another Sedalia pitcher, righthander Nick Petree, occupied this spot a year ago after going 3-0, 0.27 (26 IP, 4 BB/33 SO) in five starts for the Bombers. He used that sterling performance as a springboard to a record-breaking 2012 season at Missouri State, where he ran off two impressive streaks—38 innings without allowing a run, 75 innings without allowing an earned run—while posting a 10-3, 0.91 record. Gunn worked in just six innings this summer for Sedalia, going 1-0, 0.00 with 13 strikeouts, and it’s highly unlikely he will ever come close to matching Petree’s 2012 impressive feats next spring at Arkansas, but most scouts are in agreement that he has a higher upside than Petree, whose fastball rarely touches even 90 mph. Not only is Gunn lefthanded, but he flashed electric stuff with a fastball that peaked this summer at 93. He complemented it with a hard, tight slider. Unlike Petree, he may be confined to a relief role unless he can develop a changeup and until such time as he sharpens his command, though he is generally in the strike zone with his fastball. There is also effort in Gunn’s delivery, though he does have a short, quick arm action, works fast and likes to challenge hitters. Working only in relief as a freshman for Arkansas, Gunn made 14 appearances and went 1-0, 2.57 with 19 strikeouts in 14 innings while allowing 10 walks and just six hits. There is also another dimension to Gunn’s game as he can swing the bat with some authority, and hit .289-0-5 in a dozen games for Sedalia. But Gunn’s future is clearly on the mound, and he could be in line for a breakout sophomore season at Arkansas.

14u WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2030 SS Cash Kelly (Franklin, Tenn.) is a buzzing name this summer as someone who is off to a fast start and looks the part as one of the better pure hitters in this class. He’s very comfortable in the box, showing an innate feel to find the barrel (and limit swing-and-miss) while the hands are fast and he can really accelerate the barrel. Defensively he has been excellent making plays look easy, showing nice range and enough arm for the left side. Add in the fact that he’s a strong runner and you have someone that can impact the game a ton. 2030 SS/RHP Trey Vandergriff (Milton, Ga.) got a couple innings of work at the back end of East Cobb’s first game and looked awesome, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced with big stuff. He sat 85-88, showing dynamic arm speed and a really athletic delivery, while the breaking ball feel stood out, showing he can land it in any...

Michael Albee

MLB Draft Board: Top 500 400. Michael Barnett, RHP, UCLA R-R, 6-4/210, Lafayette, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Michael Barnett has started games over the last four years for the Bruins, including 44 starts over the past three seasons. The fastball does not overpower hitters, but can generate ground balls at a high rate. A heavy fading changeup is the primary secondary pitch and plus offering. Barnett will use it often and miss bats at a high clip with it. A low-80’s slider adds a third offering. Barnett does not generate a ton of strikeouts, but pounds the zone and fills innings.  401. Connor Marshburn, RHP, UNC Wilmington R-R, 6-6/240, Cary, NC Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Connor Marshburn features an XL frame at 6-foot-6, 240-pounds.

Road to the 2026 17U BCS Title

Emily Hicks
Article Image
This weekend, 11 teams will take the field for the 2026 17U BCS Challenge, a three-day event that brings together programs from across the country for a full slate of pool play and bracket action. With games beginning Friday and a champion crowned Sunday, the format leaves little room for slow starts, making every inning important from the opening pitch. The field features a mix of established programs and rising teams. With so many evenly matched rosters, there’s not much separation heading into the weekend, which puts importance on pitching depth, defensive consistency, and timely hitting. Pool play will quickly determine seeding, and even one loss can shift a team’s path heading into bracket play. One of the teams expected to be in the mix is Hawaii Elite 2G 17U National, a group that is 6-3 overall and ranked as “Honorable Mention” on the Perfect Games...
