16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 3

Perfect Game Staff
Blaine Peterson
16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2
 
Preston Hamelynck (2028, Clearwater, FL) continued his high-level play today with a multi hit game, including an opposite field double. Now has four extra base hits for the tournament. An athletic infielder with a dynamic offensive skill set. Has been one of the best players on the field at 16u BCS this year. 

Evan Goodmon (2028, Winter Garden, FL) had one of the biggest swings of the day launching a home run to left centerfield. An intriguing right handed power hitter that has hit home runs in multiple tournaments now this summer. Swing has natural leverage with strength and bat speed. Gets to a launch position and puts quality swings on the baseball.



Dean Roche (2028, Northport, NY) a smooth swinging left-handed hitter that had a multi hit and multi RBI day today. Really balanced, and on plane swings. Gets on time consistently and drives through the baseball. Had the look of a polished middle of the order bat today. Has a lot of traits to like and develop with the potential of becoming an outfielder that hits for a blend of average and power. 

Thomas Fleischman (2027, Medford, NY) was dominant in a short stint start on the mound today. Throwing two scoreless innings and striking out four. Showed a quality fastball that got downhill with arm side sink in the 84-88 mph range. Used a mid to upper 70s slider as a primary swing and miss out pitch. Intriguing all around armed talent. 

Kole Griffin (2028, West Palm Beach, FL) had four total hits today across six at bats. Including a three-for-three game with a double. A physical right handed hitter with a simple fundamentally sound approach and the natural strength to impact the baseball. Handled the barrel really well today and showed the traits of a developing middle of the order run producer. 

-Blaine Peterson

’28 RHP Scott Stewart worked up to 81 mph, filling up the strike zone and trusting his defense to make plays behind him. The 5-9, 140-pound right-hander repeated a simple, fluid delivery well, throwing consistent strikes and showing the ability to efficiently attack hitters.

’28 RHP Grayson Davis is the 89th-ranked RHP in Florida and 846th nationally. Davis worked up to 84 mph, consistently filling the strike zone while showing feel for both his fastball and a low-70s curveball. The 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander has a projectable frame with more velocity to come and repeated his delivery well throughout the outing.

’28 LHP Cameron Sousa worked efficiently in the low-80s, showing feel for a quality breaking ball that generated swing-and-miss. Mixed the pitch well, starting it at the top of the zone or out of the hand before finishing down. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound left-hander repeated a fluid delivery and kept hitters off balance throughout. 

Santiago Quintero (2027, North Port, Fla.), a 5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed pitcher, worked up to 83 mph with his fastball while consistently getting ahead in counts. Showed feel for a tight off-speed pitch, mixing it effectively to keep hitters off balance. Repeated a fluid delivery and filled the strike zone throughout.

Darien Quiceno (2028, Scotch Plains, N.J.), a 6-foot, 160-pound right-handed pitcher, worked up to 84 mph with his fastball and mixed in a quality curveball. The High Follow prospect showed consistent strike-throwing ability, attacking the zone with confidence while repeating a clean, athletic delivery.

’28 SS Archer Ellis (Island Coast, Fla.), the No. 38-ranked shortstop in Florida and No. 256 nationally, came out firing with a 91 mph fastball in his first inning of work. The PG 7.5 prospect paired an 83 mph changeup with a slider in the mid-to upper-70s, showing quality depth and feel for a three-pitch mix. The left-hander attacked the zone with confidence and continued to miss barrels throughout the outing.

-Brady Wall

2029 C AJ Cuasay (FL) pulled an RBI double into the right-field corner, showing a quick, compact left-handed swing with quality barrel control. The athletic leadoff type profiles as a speed-oriented player who consistently finds the barrel and puts pressure on the defense. 

2027 3B Erik J. Ceballos Urbaez (PR) put together an impressive offensive performance, collecting a pair of doubles while consistently impacting the baseball. He creates natural lift and backspin through the zone with quality bat speed, allowing the ball to carry well to the gaps. The right-handed hitter showed present strength and the ability to consistently produce hard contact, making for an intriguing power profile moving forward. 

2027 RHP Hudson Walden (NY) ran the fastball up to 84 mph while pairing it with a low-70s slider that proved to be his best offering. The slider consistently landed in the zone with late bite, generating weak contact and empty swings throughout the outing. Walden showed confidence throwing both pitches in any count and competed well on the mound. 

2028 RHP Henry Mills (FL) worked with a low-effort delivery while attacking hitters early in counts. The fastball reached 87 mph, and his slider showed sharp, late downward action while tunneling effectively off the heater. Mills repeated his delivery well and consistently generated uncomfortable swings with the two-pitch mix. 

2029 OF Owen Windham (FL) continued an impressive tournament while playing up an age group, finishing the weekend 6-for-11 with four extra-base hits. The young outfielder consistently found the barrel, showing advanced feel for contact and the ability to drive the baseball with authority. His production against older competition stood out throughout the event. 

2028 OF Nathaniel Peña Santiago (PR) came through with a bases-clearing double into the right-center gap to break the game open in the first inning. The right-handed hitter showed an efficient bat path and consistently worked the barrel out front, creating quality impact with carry to the gaps. The swing works with a present feel for the barrel and projects well moving forward. 

-Alex Pena

Hudson Wesley (2028, Bethalto, IL) put together a dominant, complete-game performance on the mound this morning, tossing 5 scoreless innings while allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk alongside an explosive 10-strikeout effort. Currently unranked, he is a sleeper who seems to be falling under the radar, though that should change quickly following this display. He brought the heat early and often, comfortably sitting in the 84-87 mph range while running his fastball up to 88 mph with clean, late life. He complemented his mid-80s heater with a nice curveball that features late, harsh break, using it as a putaway pitch to rack up double-digit strikeouts. Beyond his raw arm talent, he showed off a mature pitchability by utilizing a quick pitch a few times to vary his tempo and throw off the hitters' timing in the box. Dictating the pace of the game while pairing high-strikeout stuff with control, he projects as high-upside arm who is due for a significant rise in prospect rankings. 

Sage Lelm (2028, Tremont, IL) put together an explosive offensive performance today, demonstrating plate patience by staying back on a curveball and driving it out for a grand slam. Currently unranked, he has been a force at the plate throughout the tournament, compiling a 5-for-10 over four games with a double, two home runs, eight RBI, two walks, and just two strikeouts. Set up in a low and open stance, he employs a subtle, controlled leg kick to initiate his load, keeping his weight centered and allowing him to track breaking balls deep into the zone without lunging. His quiet pre-pitch setup and short, repeatable leg kick allow him to generate quick torque through his lower half while maintaining hand-eye coordination and balance. By remaining patient on off speed pitches, he consistently finds the barrel and elevates the ball with run-producing leverage. His current tournament split showcases a mix of barrel accuracy and legitimate power potential, making him a under-the-radar prospect who should see a rise in rankings as he continues to display this kind of middle-of-the-order production. 

Ashton Pittman (2029, Trinity, NC) put his two-way skillset on showcase today, taking the mound as the starting pitcher while continuing a good tournament at the plate as the nation's 77th-ranked outfielder. The left-hander worked 2 innings, racking up 4 strikeouts while surrendering just 1 hit and 1 earned run. On the bump, he ran his fastball up to 86 mph—just shy of the 87 mph peak he touched last weekend—while comfortable sitting in the 83-85 mph velocity band. He offers an advanced four-pitch mix, leveraging a slider, curveball, and changeup to disrupt timing and generate swing-and-miss stuff across the board. While his pitch design and multi-pitch repertoire give him a high ceiling on the mound, he issued 4 walks in his brief outing, making strike-throwing and command consistency the area for developmental focus. Standing at 6’2”, he shows his true athleticism shines through at the plate, where he is swinging a loud bat this weekend—bashing his way to a 5-for-9 start with a double and an RBI. The southpaw's loose athleticism, natural barrel control, and intriguing four-pitch foundation make him a compelling two-way prospect whose overall stock will climb rapidly as he continues to refine his control on the mound. 

Aidan Juarbe (2027, Orlando, FL) got the start today and looked sharp on the mound, offering a glimpse into his high-upside future as a pitcher. He put his two-way athleticism on display, running his fastball up to 88 mph while sitting comfortably in the 84-86 mph range across 3.1 innings of work. He allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits while punching out 4 batters, leveraging a sharp slider that generated late depth to keep hitters off-balance and miss bats. His raw arm talent, loose arm action, and projection on the mound show clear upside as an arm at the next level. While he navigated through a few tight spots—issuing 3 walks—his ability to pair a late-life mid-80s fastball with a sharp secondary pitch allows him to control ABs and project with high ceiling potential. As he continues to hone his strike-throwing efficiency and repeat his mechanics, his athletic foundation and lively arm suggest a pitchability ceiling that could easily see him excel on the mound in college ball. 
 
Wyatt Rayburn (2028, Marquez, TX) possesses a high-waisted, highly projectable frame at 6'4", 205 pounds, look every bit the part of a 200th ranked outfielder in the nation. Coming out of the bullpen today, he immediately set the tone with an aggressive two-inning relief appearance, allowing just one hit and zero earned runs while fanning two batters. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph—having previously touched 88 mph—and paired it with a truly nasty slider that generated late depth and swing-and-miss shape to put hitters away cleanly. His athleticism translates seamlessly to the batter's box, where he is currently 3-for-7 with a double and 3 RBI this tournament. That success is part of a massive sample size this calendar year, where he has dominated Perfect Game events to the tune of an incredible .439 batting average (18-for-41), a .556 on-base percentage, and an elite 1.141 OPS across 18 games. With his rare blend of physical size, middle-of-the-order offensive consistency, and late-inning high-leverage arm talent, he stands out as a complete two-way ceiling prospects in the class.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers.

Scott's Eye Popping Two-Way Earns MVP

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...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...
