Nolan Winfield (2025 Winterville, NC) toed the rubber for the Maroon squad in the final game at Gardner Webb. He threw two solid innings and only gave up one run. Winfield’s fastball sat 77-79, breaking ball was 66-69, and he threw a good changeup that sat 73-75.

The Maroon team didn’t take any time getting the bats hot. Greyson Jones ( 2026, Lewisville, NC) and Brayden Seely (2026, Lewisville, NC) both hit RBI doubles in the 1stinning. Reid Johnson (2026, Mooresville, NC) added to this by hitting a triple to right centerfield in the top of the 3rd.

The Gold team had a spark in the bottom of the 4thas Blake Goff (2025, Lexington, NC) barreled a ball to deep left that resulted in a triple. Princeton Janney (2026, Reidsville, NC) hit an RBI single to bring Goff in and cut the lead to 2. However, the Maroon team held on to win 4-2.  

There wasn’t a lot of offense in game 2 of the day between the Gold and Purple teams. Matthew Tafuri (2026, Cedar Grove, NJ) was impressive on the mound to say the least. He ran his fastball up to 81 and flashed a plus breaking ball sitting 66-69, with sharp 12-6 break. Tafuri has electric stuff, and he will only get better as he gets older. Tafuri also added a hard hit single up the middle for the Purple Team.

Princeton Janney (2026, Reidsville, NC) had a good outing out of the 'pen for the Gold squad. He attacked with his fastball which was sat in the 71-75 mph range.

Tai Richmond (2026, Greensboro, NC) came out for the Gold team in the 5thand dominated. His three-pitch mix overpowered opposing hitters. His fastball sat 81-82, breaking ball 68-69, while also mixing in a nasty changeup that was 72-75.

Baker York (2027, Raleigh, NC) toed the rubber for the Maroon squad in the first game of the day. He had an impressive outing, tossing three shutout innings. The young right-hander commanded his pitches and attacked the zone with his fastball sitting 71-74 and topping out at 75. He also flashed a breaking ball at 61-63. He was efficient, only throwing 40 pitches in his three innings.

The Maroon team got on the board thanks to an RBI single by Reid Johnson (2026, Mooresville, NC). Not only did he rip a single up the middle, but he also showed aggressiveness on the bases and scored the team’s 2ndrun of the game.

Jacob Cesarz (2026, Cary, NC) was impressive on defense for the Maroon squad. He displayed good footwork and a strong arm.

One bright spot offensively for the Purple team was Logan Clark (2026, Virgilina, VA). He barreled a ball to deep left centerfield and legged out a triple.

Tyler Vansumeren (2026 Tifton, GA) was good in relief for the Purple squad. He tossed two scoreless innings with his fastball sitting 75-77. He also flashed a good breaking ball at 65-67. He commanded the breaking ball and spun it well. He displayed a good pickoff move as well.

Logan Clark (2026 OF, Virgilina, VA) hosed a runner at the plate on the fly from left field early in the game to give a taste of his arm strength but really impressed in a one inning outing on the mound.  The 6-0/145 Clark worked in the 81-83 mph range and reached back for an 84 and an 85 for his two strikeouts.  There's obviously some arm potential and two-way talent here!

Matthew Tafuri (2026 OF, Cedar Grove, NJ) was a standout all day with his athleticism and had a good game on both sides of the ball.  He crushed a line drive double into the left field corner in one at-bat and impressed defensively with a full laid out diving catch in centerfield.

Charlie Bailey (2026 RHP, Rock Hill, SC) filled up the strike zone with a consistent upper 70's fastball from a high 3/4's arm slot that created nice downhill angle down in the strike zone where he frequently lived.  What really set him apart for a 2026 was the confidence and quality he showed in a 68 mph change up that got him many strikes and a couple of outs.

Holden Hayes Jr (2026 RHP, Savannah, GA) has a swing that perfectly matches the plane of a curveball and he jumped on two of them today, one-hopping the left centerfield fence with one drive and knocking a hard single to the middle of the field in another.

Ravi Lord (2027 C, Piedmont, SC) showed nice barrel control in his at-bats, moving the ball around the field where it was pitched and picking up a pair of singles, one to left field and the other to right.

PG Scouts admired Nolan Winfield (2025 SS, Winterville, NC) and his combination of two HOF'ers names but admired him more importantly for his talent on the field.  The athletic middle infielder flew out deep to left field one at-bat and singled hard to left in another.  He also made a couple of nice plays at shortstop to show his defensive potential.

Tate Nelson (2026 SS, Wilmington, NC) is a very slender young shortstop with lots of athleticism and twitch.  He has smooth actions at shortstop and bat speed that belies his 5-10/120 build.  He also had a nice outing on the mound, working in the 76-79 mph range with a big sweeping curveball that had good spin and landed frequently.

Addison Terry (2027 C, Winston Salem, NC) has very good strength for his age and spanked a few balls hard to left field, one a double into the corner that one-hopped the wall and the other a deep F-7 that the left fielder tracked down.

Greyson Jones (2026 RHP, Lewisville, NC) showed lots of maturity on the mound, working three innings and throwing strikes while mixing his pitches well.  He added and subtracted from a low to mid-70's fastball from a mid 3/4's slot that had lots of life and had 2229 rpm spin on his curveball with some bite.  His arm is loose and easy and he has lots of projection in his 5-11/145 frame.

Kaleb Downey (2025 C, Lexington, NC) is one of the strongest players at the event but what stood out was his work behind the plate.  He moves well side to side and has a very strong and accurate arm.  He lined a single to left centerfield in one of his plate appearances.

Baker York (2027 3B, Raleigh, NC) had a nice day at the plate, lining singles to centerfield and right centerfield while showing a loose and fluid swing with good extension through the ball.

Brayden Jeffries (2026 C, Greensboro, NC) showed in batting practice that he had more pop in his bat than you'd think from his slender 5-11/130 frame but he jumped on the first pitch of the game and sent a rocket into the left field corner for a double.

Tai Richmond (2026 1B, Greensboro, NC) was another hitter who impressed in BP with his power potential then followed that up in the game, blasting a double over the centerfielder's head.  He's going to be a fun hitter to watch develop as he grows.

Blake Goff (2025 3B, Lexington, NC) found barrels all day, although he wasn't always rewarded for them.  The big and strong 6-0/175 right handed hitter singled hard to left field his first at-bat but lined out to left and flew out to deep center his next two trips.

Luis Acevedo (2025 SS, Winston Salem, NC) was impressive in his inning on the mound, throwing a high spin rate fastball with lots of run and sink in the 77-80 mph range.  It's a live arm that plays well in the infield, too.

Brayden Jeffries (2026, Greensboro, NC) worked through the middle-of-the-field well during his round. Showcasing some advanced bat-to-ball skills as he consistently produced well-struck line-drives throughout his round. 

Taj Richmond (2026, Greensboro, NC) showed somethings to like during his round with a lofted, left-handed stroke. Flashing the ability to elevate and lift through the middle-of-the-field, as Richmond fills out he ball will continue to carry further. 

Easton Tillman (2026, Reidsville, NC) put together a loud round, peppering line-drives to the pull side. Continuing an already impressive day of workouts, Tillman displayed a strong feel for the barrel, getting on plane early and staying through extension well. 

Travail Barnes (2026, Thomasville, NC) followed up his yellow teammates with another consistent round of BP, keeping his approach simple as he worked through the middle-of-the-field, consistently getting the bat head out to the point of contact. 

Jayden Pipes (2026, Trinity, NC) was intriguing to watch during his round as the 6’2”/150-pounder was able to elevate a handful of balls with his long levers. 

Tyler Vansumeren (2026, Tifton, GA) showcased a short and compact stroke, working through the gaps during his round while flashing some juice to the pull side when he drops the barrel on it. 

Nolan Winfield (2025, Winterville, NC) remained on time during his round, displaying some present bat-to-ball skills as he produced line-drives back up the middle. 

Matthew Tafuri (2026, Cedar Grove, NJ) may have had one of the best rounds of the day regardless of age. The New Jersey-native displayed the ability to consistently get the barrel out to produce back spun line drives with a gap-to-gap approach. The athletic built Tafuri continues to impress after having a really good day of workouts.
