WWBA South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Andrew Jenkins
Geoff Billock
Jack Fuller (2025, Southlake, Texas) was dominant in his outing for the NTXBC Dirtbags going 5 shutout innings on no hits and 11ks. Fuller located well all game and dominated within the strike zone throwing strikes at an extremely high rate around 69%. The lean and loose southpaw has good length to his body and is developing strength which should help add more velocity as he develops. He creates steep angles and works downhill in line with some deception in his delivery which helped his fastball play up. Fuller sat in the low 80s and mixed in a sweeping curve with bite. He consistently dotted his fastball within the zone which set up his curve nicely throughout the game.

Devin Miller (2025, Aledo, Texas) impressed for Stix Scout with his stuff. He sat 82-84 early on with some heaviness and a ton of arm side run. He showed an advanced feel for sequencing his pitches well off each other locating a bugs-bunny looking curve with 12-6 shape. He mixed in a change that mimicked his arm speed with heavy fade and drop around 76. Miller worked with a high-speed tempo and really got into a good rhythm. He works downhill and picks up speed as the delivery progresses. Miller has a quick arm and throws from a high ¾ slot while staying in-line. He was able to locate his off-speed stuff much better than his fastball. Once he harnesses his fastball control, he will be able to dominate even more because the stuff looks good and is there. The athletic Miller will be a fun follow throughout the summer circuit as he continues to add strength and develop.



Jake Evans (2025, Spring, Texas) showed a lot to like in his quick look going 3 shutout innings with 5ks. His fastball sat 84-86 while topping out at 87 with heavy arm side run and could locate well. He mixed in a nasty slider with some tightness and extremely late bite. He flashed a change with fade as well. The delivery is smooth as he works in line with the plate throwing from a super low ¾ slot. The arm is quick with a ton of whip and the ball comes out easy. His slider will be what carries him as it has he could locate it well with big time swing and miss potential. He works with good tempo off the bump and there is plenty to like here.

Joephillip Guzman (2025, Killeen, Texas) has been on a tear to open up the summer circuit as he consistently finds the barrel and gets on base. Guzman is a highly athletic player who runs well and plays hard. He controls the barrel well through the zone with a strong set of hands. There is plenty of bat speed which will help him at the next level. He can spray the ball to all fields and profiles well at the top or middle of the order. The Alabama State commit looks that part out there and can really play ball with a high level of athleticism.

Elai Iwanaga (2025, Mililani, Hawaii) gave us a quick 2 inning look on 2ks. He located extremely well with all pitches and sat 84-86 while topping out at 88 with some run. He has a live arm and works with tempo and confidence. He mixed in one of the better-looking sliders you’ll see at this age sitting in the upper 70s with extremely late bite and sharp sweeping break. He located the slider extremely well forcing plenty of swings and misses. The arm is live throwing from a mid ¾ slot while working in line. The delivery and mechanics are all repeatable. Iwanaga is highly projectable and his stuff is looking really good. He should be a big arm to follow as he continues to develop.
 

Logan Honma (2025, Pearl City, Hawaii) is an uber athletic player who looks the part out at short for Hawaii Elite. He works with smooth actions in the field with quick feet and a soft set of hands. He can get to balls with ease and has a solid arm to make throws on time. He really looks the part out there. Honma bats at the top of the order for his team and consistently works the count and finds the barrel. He recognizes pitches well allowing him to get off some really good swings. He has a smooth lefty swing with feel to create leverage as the barrel whips through the zone. He has a nice approach and hunts his pitch rarely chasing.

Conner Vaughn (2024, Osceola, Arkansas) is a physical looking player with some athleticism who can really impact the baseball. He starts out slightly open in his stance and uses a small leg lift and stride to get into his lower half. His upper half rotates well as the ball really jumps off his bat at times. He creates plenty of bat speed with his rotational swing. He had a couple big hits for his team driving in some runs and getting on base in big moments. The ball jumps off his bat with loud impact and there is plenty of feel to launch the ball while creating leverage. The power projection is definitely there for Vaughn and it will only continue to go up.
 

Titan Targac (2025, Flatonia, Texas) showed signs of dominance for Banditos Scout going 5 strong innings with 6ks against a really good lineup. He was up to 88 with his fastball and played firm with late life. He worked with good tempo and a repeatable delivery throwing from a high ¾ slot and some liveness in the arm. The ball comes out easy as he creates steep angles working downhill and in line. There is definitely some deception in the delivery as the velocity plays up forcing lots of late swings and misses. At times, he was able to sequence in a good-looking curve with 10-4 shape and depth. He just needs to get it down more and would miss high a lot causing it to lose its break. If he can harness in his curve, it will play off his fastball extremely well moving forward. He tunneled a good-looking change at times that mimics the same arm speed and slot as his fastball. There is plenty to like with Targac as he is highly projectable and should only continue to get better as he refines his pitches and location.

-Geoff Billock
Aidan Simmons (2025, Mansfield, Texas) is an uncommitted infielder that attends Mansfield High. The 5-foot-9, 180-pounder caught my attention on day one action here at the 2023 WWBA South Championship. Simmons is a lead-ff type hitter who could easily stay at the top of the lineup down the road. He starts with a simple, slightly open stance while his hands come even with the ears. There is a smaller leg kick trigger that keeps him on time and balanced throughout. Simmons showed the ability to hit to all-parts with good speed out of thew box. He is an above average baserunner and uses his quickness to his advantage. As a defender, Simmons looks to stay in the infield for now as the arm and glove work.
 

Denver Gillen (2025, Cedar Hill, Texas) is another uncommitted player from the Arlington A’s organization that stood out on day one like Aidan Simmons did. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound outfielder really showed some gap power during my viewing. Gillen, who was hitting cleanup, is a right-handed hitter who starts with an unorthodox stance. However, he uses a small toe tap trigger to gain slight ground towards the pitcher and gets into a very ideal position at contact. He possesses pull-side power currently and has no issues getting the bat head out-front consistently.


Noah Jeon (2025, Coppell, Texas) was quite dominate on the mound for 5 Star Performance 2025 American. The primary right-handed pitcher stands at 5-foot-10, 215-pounds with a sturdy frame. He throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot with a longer arm circle in the back. Jeon used his fastball to attack hitters inside the zone. He was in the 83-85 mph range with the fastball and used it heavily. When need, he would go to his mid 70s slider that had some sharpness to it while having some feel for it. Jeon would go on to throw a complete game on 92 pitches. He struck out 11 along the way, allowed four hits and one free pass. Jeon is an arm that will continue to get better with maturity and muscle.

Callan Warren (2025, Odessa, Texas) is a primary first baseman that attends Permian High. The left-handed, middle-of-the-order type hitter has a physical frame at 6-foot-1, 210-pounds. He is hitting .333 with three RBIs in two games. He impressed at Sunshine Texas a few weeks ago and kept it rolling into the WWBA South Tournament. Warren showed a quite approach at the plate with a simple swing, while making loud contact and finding barrels often. He showed the ability to drive the ball deep to any part of the yard. The power is present, and he projects for more down the road. Look for him to make an impact over the next few years on the summer circuit for Stix (TX).

Cade Moore (2025, Beckville, Texas) was impressive at the plate for 5 Star Performance 2025 National. The smooth swinging right-handed hitter has a controlled stroke, met the ball out front and made regular, hard contact. In this viewing of Moore, he grooved a fastball up the middle in his second at-bat along with another hit in his third plate appearance. The primary first baseman has a solid frame with room to fill out at 6-foot, 180-pounds. Moore is a prospect that will continue to improve over the next few years at Carthage High School and will be catching the attention of colleges around the country soon.

-Andrew Jenkins

Damian Montanez (2025, Killeen, Texas) played his role as leadoff man for Marucci Elite Texas - Rodriguez. On Thursday, he lead the way with three hits, coming around to score all three times with some solid base running. Montanez displays a quality approach at the plate, and translates these quality ABs into quality contact often. Generates solid torque on the front hip, allowing him to explode into his swing and generate more power than his frame would indicate. Swing is efficient and carries enough pop to translate to the next level. He’s a really solid athlete as well, and despite his stature, he projects to fill out and add even more strength than he already has. Montanez has shown thus far why he will likely be an impact college player sooner rather than later.

Michael Peavy (2025, Houston, Texas) showed plenty of flashes in the heart of a stacked Marucci Elite Texas - Rodriguez lineup. Peavy racked up a couple of hits and an RBI on Thursday. He shows a direct swing path that generates plenty of lift, which should result in lots of extra base hits as he continues to develop. Has developed quite a bit physically in the last year or so, and it is showing on the field as his production and metrics have taken quite a sizable step forward. Pretty explosive athlete who showed some impressive range and arm strength across the diamond from the hot corner. Peavy is a steady riser who will continue to gain attention if he keeps up the pace he has been on. 

Ronin McCraw (2026, Magnolia, Texas) once again showed why he is one of the highest rated bats in the entire country, causing damage for Marucci Elite Texas - Rodriguez. The Texas A&M commit has been on a tear, reaching base five of the seven times he has stepped up to the plate and driving in three, producing an astonishing 1.381 OPS. McCraw has a smooth, compact swing from the left side, with a consistent bat path and very little unnecessary movement from the rest of his body. Every swing he produces shows conviction and he consistently makes hard contact to all fields, especially to the opposite field. The power is continuing to develop and as he fills out, he projects to have some pretty solid numbers in that regard. Very good athlete, showing above average tools across the board. Also has shown to have some potential as an upper echelon defender. Still just a rising sophomore, McCraw has the potential to be not only an impact player at a high level college program, but potentially even a draft pick.

Ty Thames (2025, Wimberley, Texas) broke out and was a major piece of the offensive onslaught put on by Marucci Elite Texas - Rodriguez. On Thursday, Thames had a double and a triple, while driving in two runs, including the run that ended the game via mercy rule. At 6’3’’, Thames uses his length to his advantage, being able to get his barrel on tough pitches and create enough extension to wreak havoc on opposing pitchers. Still likely not a finished product physically, but certainly has projectable attributes. Has been very aggressive in his approach, and it’s seeming to pay off thus far. Thames will certainly be an interesting prospect to watch moving forward.


Kainoa Kaneshiro (2025, Pearl City, Hawaii) was a major force in the lineup for Hawaii Elite 2g on Thursday. He made a major impact with a two-run home run to right field, which ended up being a pretty big piece of offense for his ball club. He did a really solid job of getting out in front and being able to channel that into plenty of exit velocity. Kaneshiro shows some pretty serious ability to use his quick hands to get inside the ball, even at the top of the zone. He also showed some serious flashes on the mound near the end of the game, as he touched 87 with the fastball and was incredibly efficient. Given his low pitch count, he will most likely be used again later in the week, which should make for some very intriguing looks.

Treyden Chong Kee (2025, Honolulu, Hawaii) has had himself a nice tournament as an important cog in the Hawaii Elite 2g lineup. He is hitting .333 over the tournament so far, including an RBI. Has a consistent approach at the plate and avoids strikeouts at a pretty decent level. Possesses good bat to ball skills and shows enough fluidity to make adjustments when he needs to. Treyden looks to be filling out his frame well and still has potential to add even more strength. With that said, he generates a pretty decent amount of exit velocity with his frame, which is encouraging as we look to project him forward. Chong Kee looks to be one of the many exciting names to watch from this team.

Andrew Allen (2025, Fort Worth, Texas) has been white hot to start the tournament for NTXBC Dirtbags 2025 - Navy. After two days, he is batting .750 with a whopping 2.050 OPS. He shows a strong lower half and good flexibility to get bat on ball at a decent rate. Seems to be putting more of an emphasis on putting the ball in play this year, and the result has been much more impactful at bats. Frame is still developing but has some room to add more strength. If he continues to produce at this rate, Allen will certainly be one to monitor closely.

Davis Perkins (2025, Southlake, Texas) has shown some serious flashes for NTXBC Dirtbags 2025 - Navy. He’s hitting .750 through two days and has driven in five without punching out. Shows some pretty fluid actions at the plate, adjusting well throughout at bats and having some solid feel for the barrel to grind out some base hits. Possesses some serious arm talent on the infield and some decent athleticism that could translate to a role as an above average shortstop. Still has plenty of filling out to do physically, but has plenty of potential in that regard. Perkins should be a really high level watch for the next couple of seasons.

Wade Cooper (2025, Del Rio, Texas) showed plenty of flashes for Texas Angels 2025 Libson. He faced a tough lineup but more than held his own. He went six innings, allowing just one run, and striking out five. Fastball was 82-84, topping at 86. He showed a decent amount of life, given the velocity and was able to dodge any damaging contact. Curveball was 68-71 with multiple planes. He showed solid usage of both and was relatively efficient, finishing six innings on 94 pitches. He pitches solely out of the stretch with a low set. Comes out of a mid 3/4 arm slot and gets really good extension with his larger frame. Cooper is a big body that is probably at a decent weight for his size, but certainly has room to maximize further. While facing a challenging lineup, Cooper was up to the task and had a fantastic outing.

Jaxon Rickert (2025, Mansfield, Texas) was impressive once again in his outing for Stix 2025 Scout. He hurled a complete game shutout, avoiding trouble for the most part throughout, and striking out five. Fastball was initially 86-88, topping at 89. Velo gradually declined but he was still sitting 84-85 as he retired the final out of his pitching masterpiece. Slider sat in the mid-70s throughout, topping at 79 and showing enough late life to cause problems for hitters. He showed ability to throw it to both lefties and righties as well. Rickert also mixed in a changeup that tunneled really well with his slider, before breaking arm side. Out of the windup, his hands start high and arms fully extent as he drops down and delivers from a low 3/4 slot. Uses long arm action and strong lower half to generate plenty of power. One of the more lively arms in the tournament, Rickert lived up to every bit of his expectations.

Congrats to @KYPlatinum859 on the championship! 🏅 pic.twitter.com/1atWJAL3nm — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) June 7, 2026 Caleb Hodge (2027, Burlington, Ky.) posted absurd numbers on his way to winning MVP, leading the tournament in batting average (.692), runs (11), RBI (12), doubles (5) and OPS (1.881), all while playing an impressive shortstop. Hodge's swing is built around exceptional barrel lag, keeping the knob pointed toward the catcher deep into the load before snapping the barrel through the zone as the front foot lands. The result is effortless bat speed and consistent impact, with the ball jumping off the barrel. Even with the late acceleration, he stays remarkably connected throughout, allowing the bat speed...

Ryan Sanchez (‘27, AZ) hammers this ball to deep LCF for a 3-run 💣. Physical 6-5/230 frame. Has some rhythm to the hands. Strength plays at contact #DesertClassic @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/sGL2vcpwIL — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) June 6, 2026 Ryan Sanchez (2027, Chandler, Ariz.) showcased loud two-way ability throughout the event. A physical frame at 6-foot-5, 230-pounds stands out on both sides of the ball. The stuff on the bump was impressive. Sanchez sat 89-92 mph with the heater, topping out at 93 mph. Heavy armside run and the velocity makes the pitch hard to barrel. It was paired with a quality breaking ball at 73-77 mph that showed some bite. At the plate, Sanchez uses his strength efficiently. There is some rhythm to the hands that creates some bat speed. When combined with obvious strength at contact, Sanchez can generate easy power to the...

The uncommitted primary shortstop allowed only one hit to get the win in the 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves Scout Team- American. Kume ran the fastball up to 88 mph and sat in the 85-87 mph range with a pair of breaking balls to miss barrels and induce weak contact.

Swamp Baseball entered the Gulf Coast Classic looking to break through after falling in the championship game in each of the previous two weekends. Their matchup against Florida Flames 18U was a rematch of the East Memorial Day Classic championship game two weeks earlier, when the Flames earned a 4-1 victory. This time, Swamp turned the tables, defeating the Flames 11-2 at JetBlue Park to claim the 18U Gulf Coast Classic title. The game ended after the top of the fifth inning under Perfect Game’s mercy rule, which ends play when the home team leads by eight or more runs after 4 ½ innings. Strong pitching from Payton Sturrup and Ian Long, combined with consistent offensive production throughout the entire lineup, helped Swamp take control early and never look back. Nicholas Raber delivered Swamp’s first hit of the game, driving in two runs with a double. Anthony Reitler...

After a weekend of competitive baseball, the 2026 Arizona Desert Classic came down to one final matchup between ATB 13U and Rawlings Tigers Primo. When the final out was recorded, Rawlings Tigers Primo secured the championship with a 14-0 victory at Goodyear Ballpark.

MVP Easton Bakersky helped spark the attack, finishing 2-2 with an inside-the-park home run and three runs scored. Bakersky's home run came at the end of the third inning and helped extend Primo's lead. He finished with a .625 average through four games, while Callan Sanders went 2-3 with one triple and two runs scored. Sanders hit .500 through four games. “The count was 1-2.
