14u Northeast: Day 3-4 Notes

Andrew Snyder



Marcos Suarez (2022, Lodi, N.J.), a 5-foot-9, 145-pound righthanded pitcher, tossed 5 2/3 innings for the win against Batting 1.000 Seminoles on Sunday morning. Suarez’ fastball sat in the high-70s, topping at 79 mph. Suarez also mixed in a mid-60s breaking ball. While he had some early command issues, Marcos settled in and finished the outing strong with seven strikeouts. Suarez seemed to be more comfortable working in the stretch where he had better tempo, working quickly with a medium leg kick and three-quarters arm slot, throwing slightly across his body. His motion seems to create some added deception for him.

Joe Richetti (2023, Holbrook, N.Y.), a 5-foot-5, 130-pound shortstop, showed off impressive glove work on Sunday for Team Steel Gold. He has great range and footwork, along with a strong and accurate throwing arm that produces carry. Richetti makes all the required plays and makes them look easy, using an impressive first step that began seemingly while the ball was still in the hitting zone. Although he has a slight build, Richetti managed to barrel balls all weekend long, finishing the event 7-for-13 with three walks, six runs scored, and five RBI in seven games. As he grows and fills out, Richetti has a chance to become an elite level infielder.

Ryan Jones (2023, Grosse Pointe, Mich.), a 6-foot-3, 175-pound catcher and righthanded pitcher, had another big game for Little Caesars Baseball Sunday, adding to an already impressive weekend. Jones started the morning on the mound and threw a five-inning shutout to get the win, allowing only two hits and striking out seven. He has a large and lean frame with present strength and plenty of room to add more. A smooth, fluid motion with a short and quick arm circle that allows Jones to create a lot of backspin and some late life at the plate. At the plate Jones has a strong and athletic set up with a long, powerful swing. Jones finished the tournament 5-for-12 with two doubles and seven RBIs to go along with four stolen bases. Between the raw power and the frame, Jones has the foundation to develop into a productive player at the next level.

Shaun McMillan (2023, Freeport, N.Y.), a 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthanded pitcher and first baseman, led the way for a 5-0 Team United Beast win over the South Troy Dodgers on Sunday afternoon. McMillan, a 13u eligible player, was 1-for-2 with two walks and a towering homerun to deep center field. With a large athletic frame, he has a balanced set-up with a high hand position, using a hip slide to load his body as he takes a slightly open stride towards the pitcher. McMillan has a long and powerful swing with above average bat speed and strong hands. While the raw power is present, his strike zone recognition has room to develop, and with some polish he could become a big-time power hitter at the next level.



Joseph Tomonto (2022, Boca Raton, FL) is a 6-foot, 175-pound infielder and outfielder, ranked 159 nationally in his class by Perfect Game. Tomonto didn’t disappoint on Sunday for the AD Titans. He played all over the field this weekend, showing big-time arm strength with carry and good hands in the infield as well as great range. It’s hard to find a spot on the field that he doesn’t excel at with his defensive versatility. At the plate, Tomonto has an athletic set up with good balance and a high hand position. He uses a medium leg kick and a slight hand hitch as his load into a quick and powerful stroke. He showed easy power to all fields, keeping his hands inside the ball with an aggressive but disciplined approach.



Taj Farmer (2022, Farmingdale, N.Y.), a 6-foot-2, 165-pound righthanded pitcher and first basemen, has been an offensive standout through the entire tournament, but today impressed with his skills on the mound. Farmer has a long explosive body with wide shoulders and long arms with present strength. He has good arm strength, running the fastball up to 80 mph with late life and arm-side run from a three-quarters arm slot. Farmer used a mid-60s slider to keep opposing hitters honest. The slider has a chance to be a swing and miss pitch, as it has tight spin and late depth. When he fills out the frame and gets a little more consistent with his delivery Farmer has a chance to become a legitimate two-way prospect.



Carlos Martinez (2022, College Point, N.Y.), a 5-foot-10, 135-pound righthanded pitcher, was sharp in his semifinal start against the South Troy Dodgers on Monday. Martinez threw 3 1/3 innings, allowing one hit and striking out five. He has a long, thin frame with a loose, low three-quarters arm slot that plays at this level. He has a smooth, rhythmic motion and when he stays over the rubber and gets downhill has an explosive fastball that tops at 84 mph with late life. Martinez showed he can really spin the breaking ball. Martinez has plenty of room to add strength to his frame, and when he does has a chance to be a power arm for the next level.



Bryan Santana (2022, Ozone Park, N.Y.) a 5-foot-11, 175-pound righthanded pitcher, was impressive in a semifinal loss Monday against Team Beast United. He threw six innings, allowing three runs while striking out six against a potent Team Beast lineup. Santana has a slow, methodical delivery with a medium leg kick that he repeats well with an overhand release point. When he was able to keep his lower half from swinging open on his way to plate, Santana was able to create good leverage and down-angle. His low-80s fastball had some late arm side sink that matched well with a 12-to-6 breaking ball, producing good spin and late depth.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms
Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Area Code Gams: Prospect Recap

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic.
