High School Notebook: May 18

Jordan Gates
Scott Rankin

Grant Slater, 2027, RHP, Boyd Co (KY) Slater made his full start of the year back on May 7th. He had appeared in a few games in relief roles prior as he has come back from a few injury bugs. The Alabama commit went five strong innings, in a complete game fashion (run rule), only allowed a couple hits, one walk, and struck out 13 batters. Slater is beginning to ramp up at the right time with postseason right around the corner. Slater’s fastball peaked at 93 mph a few times, held velocity in the 89-92 mph range for the duration and was still touching 91 mph in the 5th inning. Relied heavily on fastballs in the earlier stages but then started to go to his breaking ball and cutter more in the later innings. It was a dominant outing to say the least and he looks primed to take the jump over these next handful of months. Slater generated a whopping 25 whiffs and threw 50 strikes out of his allotted 68 total.


Bronson Weng, 2027, RHP, Centerville (OH) Weng was a name I kept hearing over the last couple months and what better way to get introduced to him than seeing him matchup vs a conference foe. What I was able to see was utterly impressive. In the newest update he checks in as the #10 player in the Ohio Rankings for the class of 2028. It’s a two-way profile right now, but it’s hard not be impressed by the future prospect of the arm. He’s an absolute fierce competitor and bulldog on the mound. Plays with a lot of fire and it’s fun to watch. Weng went all seven in a complete game effort. He found himself in some traffic in the first inning but that was all the damage done as he cruised for the final six. The fastball lived 88-91 and topped 92 mph a couple times, still touching 91 mph in the 7th inning. His breaking ball showed sweep and high vertical break in the 73-76 mph range. And threw a changeup at 81-82 mph that he steadily threw to left-handed batters. This is name that expects to pop over the summer.  




Ben Hanley, 2026, RHP, Mason (OH) The Kent State commit has cemented himself as the best arm in Cincinnati and arguably the best arm in the state. He’s a name that has come up for a few months now on some draft buzz. And it’s easy to see why. This was my third look at Hanley this spring and to my eyes, the development is noticeable, the strength gains stand out and the whole operation has elevated over the last few years. It’s a vicious repertoire where he finds himself executing a total of five pitches. The fastball peaked at 96 mph, while living 92-95 mph with late life. It’s premium arm talent and he attacks hitters, left or right. It’s safe to say the slider is his best pitch in the 84-86 mph with a good spin profile. But his other three pitches are coming along and might be just as good. Hanley works from a 3/4 arm slot with a bit shorter arm action and explodes to extension. The lower half really works well and it’s super athletic down the mound. The cutter is in the 89-90 mph range, curveball at 80-82 mph and the changeup fades off at 83-84 mph. 


Ryan Murphy, 2027, RHP, Oak Hills (OH) Murphy has been an absolute workhorse this spring, finding himself deep into games whether it’s six or seven innings. It’s a super whippy arm from a higher 3/4 slot, at times over the top. The build is one aspect that stands out with Murphy as he towers at 6-foot-6, 180 lbs. It’s a tough look on hitters as his fastball was the best yet in this look as it held for seven innings 87-90 mph, topping 91 mph still in the seventh. The development and gains from last summer to now are obvious as the velocity still projects for me. While the frame stands out, it’s the curveball and slider combo that are the calling card. The Cincinnati commit utilizes these two pitches at a high rate and often, the fastball plays off both. H tunnels each extremely well and they offer two distinct shapes. One of my favorite arms in the 2027 Ohio class, this is stock that needs to be bought now. 


Tyler Fryman, 2027, OF, Beechwood (KY) Fryman is an interesting athlete as he has found just as much success on the baseball field, as the gridiron. He’s a standout WR that the holds a bevy of high major offers. He currently finds himself committed to Louisville to play both. But let’s talk about the impact he has on the diamond. In 140 plate appearances, he currently leads Kentucky in hits across the state. His batting average is .551 with a .614 on base percentage. Fryman also has 31 extra base hits that includes 13 doubles, 8 triples and 10 homers. As I type this, expect two more homers and at least one triple and for the batting average to go up. The difference maker and standout tool for Fryman is his game breaking speed. The best centerfielder in the state, hitting out of the leadoff spot is always a threat to turn a single into a double or a double into a triple. It’s quite impressive. The game looks slowed down out there for him and I have never seen him press. Keeps the same attitude and is a great person. On top of baseball and football, he’s also one of the state’s best in track. It’s a profile that is one of the best in the region.


Caleb Arrasmith, 2027, OF, Beechwood (KY) The Morehead State commit is one of the best two-way players in Kentucky. It’s a mid-upper 80s mph fastball on the mound. But in this look, it was what he did at the plate that stood out. Arrasmith went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two singles, five RBIs and three runs scored. He saw the ball extremely well and it’s a hit tool that works to the middle of the field to pull side. He starts in a tall and open set up, quiet hands and stride and explodes the barrel through the zone on a level plane with some loft at times. As he projects more as an arm down the line, the bat still has untapped power and excelling at the plate to a tune of a .438 batting average through 35 games. The frame really stands out at 6-foot-2, 175 lbs with more strength coming.  


Brooks Becker, 2026, MIF, Beechwood (KY) Becker is one of the top shortstops in the state and the defensive profile is an added plus to the bat. Defensively, he’s a smoother mover and has shown the lateral agility up the middle and side-to-side. Surefire hands an arm that has the strength to make the needed and hard plays. At the plate, it’s excellent bat-to-ball skills with high hands that has the body a bit closed off. Has no problem utilizing all parts of the field as he has a comfortable and calm approach at the plate. 

-Jordan Gates


Jeremiah Jennings, RHP, Madison (2026)

Jennings took the ball to start an all-important 3-game series against Christian that will decide the regular season league champion.  While he did not have his best outing of the season, he battled and competed and kept Madison in the game.  The University of Santa Barbara commit had the fastball up to 92 while sitting 88-90.  He coupled the fastball with a sweeping slider that sat 75-77 and a changeup that ran to the arm side at 81-83.  While the walk total was up (5), he wasn’t missing by a large margin, nibbling the corners and not getting a lot of calls to go his way. The right-hander left after five innings, only allowing one earned and struck out five in a no decision with Madison eventually pulling off the win 4-3.  He features a big, projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 225-pounds, while showing athletic traits moving down the mound.  The senior is 7-3 with 80 strike outs in 58.2 innings.  His next start will more than likely be coming in the opening round the playoffs next week.


Harrison Brown, OF, Madison (2027)
 
Brown came up with a clutch performance at the plate for Madison in a 4-3 win over Christian collecting two hits, driving in two, and scored a run.  With Madison trailing 1-0 in the 3rd, Brown came to the plate with a runner on and barreled up a ball to clear the fence in right-center to give the Warhawks a 2-1 lead.  The junior has been one of the hotter bats in the area over the last 10 games posting a .469/.514/.656 slash line over that time with three doubles and the before mentioned home run.  Brown is currently uncommitted.


Angel Watkins, OF, Helix (2027)
 
Watkins is in the middle of a breakout season hitting .320 and driving in almost as many runs as games played (26 rbi in 27 games) this spring.  This is Angel’s third year on Varsity, and something has clicked in the power department for the athletic outfielder.  Last week in a matchup vs Granite Hills, his teammate Romeo Briones hit his 7th home run to tie Watkins but that didn’t last long as he came to the plate right after him to regain the home run lead hitting the latter half of back-to-back homers for Helix.  Watkins features an athletic frame with twitchy actions and strength throughout with plenty of room to add.  The future looks bright for the uncommitted junior heading into an important summer.

Benji Molina, MIF, Christian (2026)

Molina is in the middle of a strong senior season, leading the way for Christian on both sides of the ball.  He is a good lateral mover in the dirt with a strong arm across and a consistent glove.  At the plate the senior is enjoying another consistent season hitting in the leadoff spot for the Patriots with a .407 average, 13 doubles, a triple and a home run.  He features an athletic frame at 6-foot, 180-pounds, with room to add.  He has an all-fields approach at the plate, showing strength to the pull side.  With two games remaining in the regular season and the playoffs right around the corner, Molina will be relied on to continue to lead the Patriots attack.  Benji is currently uncommitted.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways
Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 James Watson (2030, Canton, Ga.) showed the two-way upside to start bracket play for East Cobb Astros 15u. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went three innings and with three strikeouts and spread five hits and two walks for three runs. Watson works from a hybrid windup from the middle-of-the-rubber into a small heel-turn and an around-the-belt leg lift before using drop-and-drive back leg mechanics into a longer, in-line stride down the mound. Showed some feel to get extension down the mound. The hands separate into a moderate arm action before accelerating through from an over-the-top arm angle. The fastball ran up to 86 with arm-side run and life. Paired it with a curveball with 11-5 shape and solid two-plane break. Mixed in a change-up in the upper- 70s with some vertical depth. Competed at the top of the zone well. Athletic...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 ‘27 C Joshua Digulio (TX) opened the morning in Cacti Park with a bang. In his first at-bat of the morning, Digulio crushed an 0-2 fastball. The right-handed hitter powered a fly-ball through the Florida morning humidity off the back wall of the left field bullpen for a no-doubt solo shot. Everybody in the stadium knew it was gone as soon as he made contact. The catcher also worked a walk in his only other plate appearance. His home run was the only hit in the game, providing Texas Brigade 2027 a 1-0 win.  ‘27 MIF Xavier Martin (IL) woke up the stadium with an electric swing. The right-handed hitter was sitting dead-red on a 2-0 heater, got it, and torched it. Martin scorched a line drive all the way over the left field bullpen, as the ball cleared a near 20-foot wall and bounced onto the concourse. It was a two-run shot for the...
