WWBA Sophomore Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4

Stars Being Stars



These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them! 

2029 MIF Easton Housewright (Knoxville, Tenn.) currently stands at 6-foot,175 pounds with strength in the lower half, present above-average athleticism. Continued to shine at the top of the lineup as the left-handed hitter is your prototypical leadoff hitter, consistently finding a way on and scoring. Takes quality at-bats with an above average awareness of the strike zone. Loose hands with easy bat speed that find the barrel often for hard line drives into the gaps that frequently turn into XBHs. Confident and balanced approach. Also shows present pop to the pull side, driving the ball with intent into both right, right-center field. Above average runner on the base paths. Confident defender up the middle with a strong arm across the diamond. 

2029 RHP/IF Carter Lewis (Longwood, Fla.) currently stands at an impending 6-foot-6, 200 pounds with present physicality. Gets downhill with a fast arm and sits in the upper 80s, low 90s with a fastball that has been up to 94 mph. The ball explodes out of his hand and creates a tough, uncomfortable at-bat for the hitter. Mixes in both a slider that shows depth, late action and a changeup that shows depth in the mid 70s. Can really get in a groove and put away a lineup with plenty of swings and misses with his full arsenal. Also shows present juice from the left side of the plate where he has either driven the ball over the wall, produced XBHs. 

2029 RHP/IF Ayden Pulfer (Magnolia, Texas) currently stands at 6-foot-1, 174 pounds on an athletic frame with room to continue to fill out. Pitches with high energy as he came in for relief during a high leverage situation, relishing the opportunity to go up against a tough lineup. Ran the fastball up to 90 mph with plenty of life while showing a feel to throw his off-speed stuff for strikes as well. The curveball in the low 70s shows depth, tight spin while the slider in the upper 70s displays late tailing action. Still more in the tank too as the frame projects for multiple jumps in his overall stuff. 

-Mike Maerz

Lukas Klipper (2029, Clearwater, Fla.) was one of the bigger standouts in Fort Myers. Klipper possesses premium athleticism that shows in all facets to his game. He spent most of his time in center field and mashed throughout the tournament, batting .500 with a home run, three doubles, a triple, and nine RBI. Both the hit and power tool showed well, using a short and quick left-handed stroke. Klipper checks a lot of boxes already and also showed a big arm from the outfield. It translates on the mound where he also has plenty of upside, living 84-88 from an effortless delivery.

Brandon Manivong (2029, Can Ramon, Calif.) hit in the two-hole and started at short for ZT National Prospects and absolutely lived on the barrel all tournament, helping to lead his squad to win the tournament. The shortstop went 11-for-21 (.524) and sprayed liners all over the field throughout. Manivong possesses impressive barrel skills and employs a mature all fields approach, showing no issues with spin. He has a real hitterish look, showing real feel for the barrel and already showing a strong two strike approach. The hands work very well and the swing is short and simple. Manivong showed the ability to swipe a bag as well and did not strike out a single time during the tournament. The California native is a strong defender with great actions and plenty of arm strength as well. Manivong is a true gamer and a player who impacts the game in a number of ways.


Jax Yuzzolin (2029, Longwood, Fla.) has some of the more intriguing power upside in the class and mashed for Scorpions 2027 Scout in Fort Myers. The physical first baseman stands at 6-foot-4, 210-pounds and can really swing it. Yuzzolin went 5-for-8 with three doubles and seven RBI over four games. The left-handed bat has a smooth process with rhythm and functional parts. The impact comes effortlessly and plays to all fields, showing plenty of comfort driving the ball the other way with authority. Yuzzolin is an impressive young hitter and looked comfortable in the box with easy jump coming off the barrel.

JJ Lott (2029, Scottsdale, Ariz.) looked like a true two-way prospect at the WWBA Sophomore World Championship, showing well on both sides of the ball for Wow Factor/Toronto Blue Jays Scout 16u. The primary left-handed pitcher was dominant in his start on the mound, tossing a complete game shutout. Lott threw five innings, surrendering only three hits while striking out nine and walking none. The southpaw filled up the zone and knows how to pitch, mixing his stuff well. The fastball lives in the mid-80s and the slider is a nasty pitch that misses bats with late bite. The changeup is another reliable offering and Lott competes hard with tons of energy wherever he is on the diamond. He also showed strong bat-to-ball skills with the ability to manipulate the barrel as a left-handed bat.

-Kyler Peterson

Easton O'Quinn (2029, Branford, Fla.) had a solid week down south collecting eight RBIs while having two extra base hits. Had a very loud swing in game two of pool play obliterating a heater 409 feet over the left field wall for a grand slam. O’Quinn is one of the premier hitters in the class with really an impressive combination of barrel skills and impact strength. 

Carter Lewis (2029, Longwood, Fla.) toed the rubber twice during the week totaling three innings and five strikeouts all without allowing a hit. Has a long 6’6/200lb frame to dream upon and gets down the hill with ease. The ball jumps out of the hand as he sat 89-91 and was up to 92. Tighter spinning slider to match that he can land to both sides of the plate and gets a lot of swing and miss. 

Another tall and lengthy RHP who can really pitch is William Miller (2029, Plantation, Fla.). Checks a lot of the boxes on the “eye test”, 6’8/210lb frame, fast arm, throws strikes, and can really spin the secondarys. Up to 91  with the fastball and struck out five across two innings. The over the top arm slot creates deception with the downhill pitch plane that led to swing and miss. 

-Brock Goodwin

Anderson McAfee (2029, Clarksville, Tenn.) just continues to hit year round as he put up another strong offensive performance in one of the biggest tournaments of the year. He collected 11 hits, including a double, a triple, and two home runs, while driving in seven runs and crossing the plate 10 times. Showcased an impressive combination of consistency and power, consistently making an impact and supplying for his team.

Jordan Leon (2029, Northridge, Calif.) another star continuing to live up to the hype as the standout put together a huge offensive performance, collecting seven hits, including two doubles and a home run, while driving in 10 runs and crossing the plate five times. Tons of athleticism in the frame with tons of tools to like, picked it well in the infield as well. Another strong showing from an established player who continues to prove why he is regarded as one of the premier players in his class.

Dylan Mercado (2029, Houston, Texas) showed why he is a top five player in the country as he put together a great week at the plate. Collected seven hits, including a double and two triples, while driving in five runs and crossing the plate four times. The right-handed hitter showcased an advanced ability to impact the ball to the gaps and produce quality contact to all parts of the park. A highly productive performance from an established prospect who continues to let his play speak for itself.

-Brandon Levy

Breakout Performers

Some of the players in this category are new names who came out looking like an entirely different player from what we had known, while others were already on the national landscape but did something to make a big jump from our last viewing. Whether ranked or unranked, in the Select Festival, the National Showcase, or new to the national scene, these players below did something to catch our eye. 

2029 LHP/1B Trevor Snyder (Waxhaw, N.C.) currently stands at 6-foot-1, 165 pounds on a lean, projectable frame. Impactful two-way that gets it done both on the mound and offensively. On the bump he shows an easy working arm featuring a fastball up to 82 mph with plenty of movement while mixing in a mid 60s curveball with depth and a mid 70s changeup. More in there with jumps in velocity to come in the near future. From the left side of the plate he displays a smooth swing with loose, fast hands that shows the ability to drive the ball back up the middle, gap-to-gap for XBHs. Still more juice to unlock, especially to the pull side. Difference maker in the lineup. 

2029 RHP/1B/OF Ricky Frazier III (Marietta, Ga.) currently stands at 6-foot-7, 200 pounds on a tall, impending frame that will continue to add physicality. Works from a simple windup with a quick arm, looking to work downhill and use his length, extension to finish. Features a fastball up to 85 mph with plenty more to come. Works the corners of the strike zone. Shows a quality mix of his off-speed stuff that keeps hitters off-balance, guessing. Offers a sinker in the upper 70s with diving action, a mid 70s slider with late movement, and a low 70s curveball with depth and shape. Shows all the makings of an impact starter that will only continue to get better. From the right side of the plate offensively he displays present power, suited for an RBI spot in the order. 

2029 IF Luca Fugarino (White Plains, N.Y.) currently stands at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds on a compact, athletic frame. Was arguably one of the hottest hitters at the event over the first few days as he found a way on base multiple times throughout his games. Aggressive approach from the right side of the plate with loose, quick hands. Jumps on his pitch to hit and hammers it. Along with showing the ability to drive the back up the middle for hard line drives, he can barrel the ball up into the gaps. Additional power still to come. Active on the base paths, always ready to take the next base. 

2029 LHP Robby Bonanno (Dover, Fla.) currently stands at 5-foot-10, 165 pounds on a lean, athletic frame. Loose and easy working arm as the ball comes out of his hand with ease. Features a fastball up to 84 mph with life, plenty more in the tank as he throws a high percentage of first pitch strikes. Knows how to elevate the fastball with two strikes to induce the swing and miss. Also mixes in a low 70s curveball that shows depth along with a mid 70s changeup that displays fade and falls out at the bottom of the zone. Really knows how to pitch, stays poised throughout his outings. 

-Mike Maerz

Roman Dunn (2029, Knoxville, Tenn.) is a classic power right-hander and showed a live arm over two appearances. The fastball lived in the 85-89 range and the gas is easy. Dunn has a lightning fast arm and showed natural heavy sink, throwing some bowling balls that got in on the hands of right-handed hitters. The righty is a long 6-foot-4, 200-pounds and serious projection in the velocity department with a chance to throw very hard. Dunn beat hitters with the fastball and offered a change of pace in a low-70s breaking ball.


Parker Miller (2029, Burleson, Texas) has massive upside offensively and it was on full display for Performance Baseball 2029/Milwaukee Brewers Scout. The Texas native is a physical 6-foot-3, 180-pounds and has a smooth left-handed swing with big strength already. Still just 15 years-old, Miller is very young for the class, making the present juice even more impressive. The outfielder drove in seven runs while going 5-for-10 with three doubles and a triple, two of which were nearly longballs, clanging off the fence. All of the extra-base hits were driven deep, two to pull side, one to center, and one backside. The swing is silky with such easy pop coming off.

Angelo Fowler (2029, Fontana, Calif.) was one of the many standouts in the Franklin Scout Team/BTD Baseball 2029 lineup. The shortstop has plenty of length with a physical 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame and the swing is fluid. The approach at the plate was disciplined and mature, drawing six walks while going 3-for-6 across four games. Fowler showed some easy pop on the first night of the tournament, adjusting on a curveball to backspin it off the right field fence. The swing is tension-free and the power projects very well moving forward.

Benjamin Mills (2029, Miramar, Fla.) made his presence known on day one of the tournament, blasting a rocket that traveled across the street beyond the left field fence for a no-doubter. The ball was an absolute laser, coming off with a 101 EV and traveling 424 feet. The swing has simple components, delivering a heavy barrel with a short path to the ball. Mills has serious juice with tons of strength and is a young power hitter to watch.

-Kyler Peterson

Jack Torresson (2029, Port Saint Lucie, Fla.) seemingly couldn’t miss the barrel during the week hitting .500 with eight extra base hits and 12 RBIs. However in the second round of bracket play he took arguably the biggest swing of the whole event, demolishing a pullside grand slam that left zero doubt off the bat. Unreal strength and explosiveness in the turn with whip to the barrel. 

Devin Perry (2029, Gainesville, Va.) was super impressive at the plate on the event, where he hit .727 with a double, two triples, and two homers. Sneaky juice and hand speed with lots of feel for the barrel. Really athletic in the box with clean mechanics and uses the ground efficiently. 

Kash Calderon (2029, El Cajon, Calif.) announced himself on the bump this week collecting 11 strikeouts across eight and two thirds' innings and did not allow a run. Athletic RHP with an over-the-top arm slot and was up to 86. Was elite against Power Baseball throwing a complete game and striking out five while having 67% strikes. 

-Brock Goodwin

Ryan Nicolaus (2029, Chula Vista, Calif.) had one of the biggest breakout weekends as he ranked #1 in all of hitters. The left-handed hitter collected 11 hits, including three doubles, two triples, and a home run, while driving in an impressive 10 runs and crossing the plate 10 times. Showcased an intriguing combination of hit ability, extra-base production, and athleticism.

Chase Bross (2029, Palm Harbor, Fla.) made a name for himself, tossing six innings while allowing just three hits and two earned runs, striking out an outstanding 12 opposing hitters.  The left-hander stands tall at 6-foot-2 and showed tons of high-end arm talent, running the fastball all the way up to 90 mph. The combination of premium velocity, swing-and-miss stuff, and overall effectiveness makes him an intriguing arm who is quickly emerging as a name to know.

Nico Sowers (2029, Pittsburgh, Penn.) an intriguing right-hander that stands at a quality 6-foot-4 200 pounds, was as dominant as it gets. Tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and striking out seven opposing hitters. The fastball reached 89 mph, showcasing impressive arm talent and the ability to challenge hitters with high-end velocity. An overall breakout performance who is quickly putting his name where it belongs to be.

-Brandon Levy

Next Wave

The players below might be young, but that didn't stop them from making their impact in the WWBA Sophomore despite entering their freshmen year.

2030 IF Bentley Millis (Woodstock, Ga.) currently stands at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds on an athletic frame that will continue to fill out. From the left side of the plate the hands are free and easy through the zone as his lower half works in sync, rhythm with his swing. Stays on time with a present feel for the barrel, allowing him to drive the ball into both gaps. Simple approach. The swing projects for jumps in power especially to the pull side where more XBHs are coming. Top of the order bat. 

-Mike Maerz


Mark Thompson (2030, St. Johns, Fla.) played up in the tournament as just a 14 year-old and showed no issues, going 4-for-10 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI. The swing is athletic with great bat speed, rotating hard with leverage. The power has proven to play in game all year and the bat is advanced all around. Thompson is a consistent performer and rakes no matter the age group. The outfielder is athletic and has arm strength as well.
 
-Kyler Peterson

Knox Bauer (2030, Marietta, GA) playing up this week and was very solid. Collected five hits including a double and a triple. Fast hands with intent in the approach. Wirey athletic frame with some good barrel control and competes really well against the older class. 

Bryce Tolar (2030, Jonesboro, LA) threw a complete game on day one going six innings, striking out four and only allowing one. Controlled left-handed wind up with quickness to the arm and solid feel for the off-speeds. Threw a ton of strikes and showed some of the dog in him throughout the start. 

-Brock Goodwin

Kashton Poplin (2030, Sarasota, FL) a prime example of the next wave of talent emerging from the 2030 class, this young arm made a major statement while playing up against older competition. Tossed five dominant innings, allowing just three hits and one earned run while punching out an impressive 10 opposing hitters. The fastball reached 85 mph, while mixing in a curveball that kept hitters off balance.

Connor Cowens (2030, Broomfield, CO) an exciting arm from the 2030 class, moved up an age group and kept the dominance that he always presents. The left-handed pitcher Tossed four impressive innings, allowing just one hit and one earned run while striking out seven opposing hitters. The fastball reached an electric 90 mph, causing tons of swing-and-miss and showing high-level stuff.

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs. Stays tight in the turn with present strength and the approach plays to all fields....

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...
