Dallas sent 3 pitchers to the mound to try and slow down the FTB juggernaut, all armed with fastballs of at least 88 MPH, including starter RHP John Curtiss who topped out at 93 mph. Not a one of them could slow the offensive machine.

LHP Andrew Chin, EH/CF John Norwood and RF Zach Blanden played key roles in Syracuse Sports Zone Chief's 5-2 win over the Orioles Scout Team Satruday afternoon. 

Chin threw 6 shutout innings to set the tone for Syracuse.  The 2011 southpaw struck out 8 hitters, working primarily with a 86-90 mph fastball from a mid 3/4's release point that had excellent movement at times.  Chin's challenge as a pitcher has always been to develop a better breaking ball and he showed flashes with a 80-82 mph slider.

Blanden reached base 3 times from the #2 spot in the order, twice on base hits, and scored 2 runs.  The 5-9 left handed hitter showed very good speed and base running instincts and also made an outstanding diving catch in the 5th inning to stop a potential Orioles rally.

10/24/2010 6:04:30 AM
LHP Matt Lees and RHP Bobby Ruse combined on a 3-hit shutout Saturday afternoon to lead Orioles Scout Team to a 3-0 win over the MSL All-Stars.  Interestingly, if you take away the first 3 MSL hitters of the game the duo combined for a no-hitter, as the first 3 hitters in the MSL lineup singled in the first inning but MSL didn't score after one runner was picked off.

Lees, a 6-0 senior from Richmond, VA, topped out at 85 mph but his out pitch was a big, deep curveball around 70 mph that he commanded with precision in working 4 innings.  Ruse, a 6-2 senior from Harford, MD, took more of a power approach to retiring 9 straight hitters, 5 on strikeouts.  Ruse has a deceptive delivery and pounded the strike zone with a 86-89 mph fastball.

6-3, 230 lb first baseman Dennis Mitchell continued his hot hitting with a leadoff triple in the 2nd inning and scored the first Orioles run.  Mitchell has big left handed power and has consistently hit well at WWBA events this year.

Jernigan threw 5 innings, allowing 3 hits and striking out 6 hitters.  The slender, projectable righty pitched at 88-90 mph from a mid 3/4's arm slot and showed good feel for a 11/5 curveball in the mid 70's.  Sidearmer Dylan Dickens finished up for the Dirtbags, topping out at 80 but throwing a nasty frisbee slider with a big sharp break.

SS Mikal Hill continued his outstanding play for the Dirtbags, going 3-4 at the plate and driving in 3 runs.  Hill could be a very strong MVP candidate if he continues his fine play both offensively and defensively and the Dirtbags make a run deep into the playoffs.

C Connor "D.C." Andrus is also having a very strong tournament for the Dirtbags and went 2-3 with an Rbi in addition to handling Jernigan and Dickens well.

Meanwhile, SS Francisco Lindor (2011 Tampa, FL) went 2-for-3 with a single and a solo home run, showing quick hands and deceptive power. DH Daniel Vogelbach (2011 North Fort Myers, FL) also went 2-for-3, hitting two doubles — one for a RBI. Vogelbach showed a ton of power and pop.

2B Dante Bichette Jr. (2011 Orlando, FL) went 2-for-2 with a single and a double, showing nice power.

10/23/2010 12:35:12 PM
Central Florida PG Royal routed the Orange County Boxers 15-3 Saturday afternoon behind the bats of their "alphabet" hitters, the EH, XH and DH.  Those 3 hitters, Vincente Conde, Chris Okey and Miguel Fria respectively, combined to go 8-10 with 5 runs scored and 9 Rbi's.

Fria accounted for 4 of those Rbi's on one swing with a Grand Slam home run to punctuate Central Florida's 8 run 6th inning and ended up 2-3, with 5 Rbi's.  Conde, who has been a consistently high level performer at PG/WWBA events throughout the last year, went a perfect 4-4 with a double and triple and scored 3 times.  Okey got into the act with a 2 run single in the 6th inning and finished 2-3.

The Philadelphia Senators and the Upstate Mavericks played to a 0-0 tie Saturday afternoon.  RHP Taylor Simpson went the entire 7 innings for the Mavericks, allowing 3 hits without issuing a walk and facing only 2 batters over the minimum.  Simpson, a 6-2 senior from Georgia, pitched in the 83-88 mph range with a quick, compact arm action and mixed in a low 70's curveball and mid 70's change up.

10/23/2010 12:25:47 PM
Four East Coast PG Gray pitchers combined for a complete seven-inning two-hitter for a 7-0 win over Cangelosi Baseball Saturday morning.

RHP Troy Whitty (2012 Easton, MA) picked up the win after opening with three one-hit innings. Whiity topped out at 87 mph, struck out one, and showed a fluid delivery with minimal effort, a loose arm, and solid mechanics.

RHP Nick DiBartolomed and RHP Michael Bradshaw totaled two hits, and three strikeout through 3 1/3 innings. Both pitchers touched 86 with DiBartolomed showing solid, repeatable mechanics and Bradshaw showing a sharp 72-mph curve with good depth.

LHP Thomas Pannone pitched the final 2/3 of the seventh inning. He struck out one and showed movement on his fastball and sharp action on his curve.

Cangelosi RHP Cody Vogler (2011 New Lenox, IL) threw well in one inning of relief duty, striking out two and touching 88 with good movement on his fastball.
All-Star Baseball outs PG White >>

Gm # 87 | 10/23/2010 | 10:20 AM PG White vs. All Star Baseball Academy
10/23/2010 12:14:51 PM
Three All-Star Baseball Academy hitters recorded multiple hits in a 7-2 win over the PG White squad Saturday morning.

SS Andrew Koscelansky (2011 East Norriton, PA) and 3B Luke Alba (2011 Downington, PA) both went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. Koscelansky showed good bat speed, quick hands, a balanced stance, and an ability to turn on the inside pitch.

CF Andrew Amaro (2011 Bensalem, PA) also tallied two singles in his 2-for-4 effort, showing a compact, inside-out swing, quick hands, and an ability to hit to all fields.

PG 2B Rafael Salgueiro (2011 Cutler Bay, FL) went a perfect 3-for-3 in the loss with three straight singles. Salgueiro showed quick hands, an inside-out swing, a solid approach, and an ability to hit to all fields.

LF Justin Brown (2012 Phenix City, AL) went 2-for-2 with two singles, showing patience at the plate and a line-drive swing path.

All-Star Baseball RHP Matt Timoney (2011 West Chester, PA) and RHP Matt Temowchek (2011 Glenmoore, PA) both pitched well. Timoney only allowed three hits through three innings while striking out seven. He topped out at 86 mph and showed repeatable mechanics. Tenowchek pitched four innings and touched 86, showing projectability and simple mechanics.

PG RHP Jimmy Moore (2011 Miami, FL) threw four solid innings, allowing three hits while striking out six. Moore sat between 85-81 and showed a balance, inline delivery and a 77-mph straight change up.
Warhawks Edge Baseball U 2-1 >>

Gm # 88 | 10/23/2010 | 10:20 AM Ohio Warhawks vs. Baseball U
10/23/2010 11:26:22 AM
Baseball U won all but the first 3 batters in the first inning but it wasn't enough to defeat the Ohio Warhawks in a hard fought game Saturday morning. 

The Warhawks got a single, triple and double by CF Brett Bell, 2B Jake Hager and DH Greg Bird respectively as the first 3 hitters in the first inning to account for both Ohio runs.  They were then shutout by Baseball U LHP Javier Reynoso for the rest of the way.  The 2011 southpaw allowed only 4 hits and no walks the rest of the way, working at 85-88 mph with a nice mid 70's slurve.

Four Warhawks pitchers combined on a 3 hitter, holding the top 4 hitters in the Baseball U lineup to a combined 1-12 performance.  2011 RHP Eric Holdren and 2013 LHP Stephen Gonsalves were especially impressive in the middle innings.  Holdren retired 6 straight hitters over 2 innings, 3 on strikeouts, while pitching at 88-89 with a 12/6 72 mph curve.  The 6-4 Gonsalves, one of the top sophomores in the country, has smooth pitching mechanics and sat at 88 mph with his fastball for 2 easy innings of work.
Dallas Patriots Clinch Playoff Spot >>

10/23/2010 11:15:28 AM
The Dallas Patriots have clinched the playoff spot in Pool G by virtue of the Ohio Warhawks 2-1 win over Baseball U.  The Patriots are 3-0 with one game remaining in pool play and hold a 7-4 win over the Warhawks, the only team that could potentially tie them at 3-1.
Team Mizuno Puerto Rico Clinches Playoff Berth >>

Gm # 97 | 10/23/2010 | 10:20 AM Miami PG Maroon vs. Team Mizuno Puerto Rico
10/23/2010 11:06:01 AM
Team Mizuno Puerto Rico clinched a playoff berth with a 5-3 victory over Miami PG Maroon.  Mizuno is now 3-0 in pool play but has already defeated the only team that could potentially tie them, the Dallas Yankees, with one game remaining to play.

Mizuno went down to the final at bat to beat Miami, getting an Rbi single from DH Harold Diaz in the top of the 7th inning to drive in C Michael Perez, who had doubled to start the inning.  Perez is a very interesting 2011 catching prospect with outstanding arm strength that resulted in a couple of 1.95 - 2.00 game pop times.  He's a free swinger at the plate who got himself out on pitches out of the strike zone but has strength and looseness in his swing and some present bat speed.
Giovannotto, DeGroot Combine on ShO for PG Orange >>

Gm # 79 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM Bellaire Off Season Cards vs. Perfect Game Orange
10/23/2010 9:51:40 AM
LHP Brendan Giovannotto and RHP Geoff DeGroot combined on a 4 hit shutout with 10 K's to lead PG Orange to a 4-0 win over the Bellaire Off-Season Cardinals.

Giovannotto, a junior, threw the first four innings, allowing all the Bellaire hits.  He pitched in the low 80's and depended on a mid 70's slider as his out pitch.  DeGroot finished up with 3 hitless innings, striking out 5.  He touched 85 mph from a low 3/4's slinging arm action and his hard moving fastball got on hitter's hands quickly.
Palmer tossed one-hitter >>

Gm # 84 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM Miami PG Maroon vs. BigStix Gamers
10/23/2010 9:43:58 AM
BigStix Gamers RHP Wade Palmer (2011 Fayetteville, GA) pitched a five-inning one-hitter for a 12-0 win over the Miami PG Maroon squad Saturday morning.

Palmer pitched in the low to mid 80s and showed some arm speed, a low-effort delivery, a quick tempo, and some bite on his 68-mph curve. He struck out two and only allowed lead-off fifth-inning single to PG 3B Alexis Rivas.

Meanwhile, two Gamers went 2-for-3. 2B Jeried Woods (Zebulon, GA) hit two singles and showed a nice line-drive swing path and flat bat through the zone. RF Chris Long (2011 Zebulon, GA) managed a RBI double and a RBI single, showing solid contact at the plate.
Josh Bell Leads Patriots to 10-0 Victory >>

Gm # 74 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM Dallas Patriots vs. Sandlot/Midwest Scout Team
10/23/2010 9:38:40 AM
CF Josh Bell continued to leave his mark on these championships, going 2-3 with a double and 3-run home run, driving in 5 runs total, to lead the Dallas Patriots to a 10-0 run rule victory over Sandlot/Midwest Scout Team.  Bell is a 5-tool type athlete and switch-hitter who one scout compared physically to the Orioles all-star CF Adam Jones.  His thus far dominant performance here in Jupiter has been extra important to scouts, as Bell missed most of the summer showcase circuit with a leg injury.

LSU commit SS Trevor Story also continued his strong play, going 1-3 with a double and 2 Rbi's.  Story has one of the best arms in the 2011 class at shortstop and has been up into the mid 90's in rare appearances on the mound.

LHP Kyle Bailey threw a 3 hit shutout over 5 innings for the Patriots to pick up the win.  Bailey has a simple, effective delivery and a nice combination of an 84 mph fastball and 72 mph change up, along with a 69 mph curveball, to keep hitters off balance.
Cramer, Joyce aid in South Bergen win >>

Gm # 73 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM South Bergen Mets vs. NE PG Purple
10/23/2010 9:33:51 AM
1B Sean Cramer (2011 Seffner, FL) and CF Tommy Joyce (2011 Sewell, NJ) both recorded multiple hits in a 10-2 South Bergen win over the PG NE Purple squad Saturday morning.

Cramer went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles for three total RBI. He showed a smooth swing and a pull approach in the batter's box. Joyce went 2-for-3 with two singles, showing looseness in the box and some bat speed.

RHP Mike Daley (2011 Sommerville, NJ) topped out at 86 mph for the Mets during a two-inning relief appearance. Daley showed good arm speed, a direct and inline delivery, and good use of his lower half.
RHP Concepion Shuts Out Kentucky 2-0 >>

Gm # 82 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM PRBAHS vs. Kentucky Baseball Club
10/23/2010 9:25:04 AM
2011 RHP Daniel Concepcion threw a complete game 4 hit shutout for Puerto Rico Baseball Academy to down Kentucky Baseball Club 2-0.  The 6-4, 195 lb righty struck out 7 hitters, showing a very polished approach to pitching.  Concepion mixed up 4 pitches, an 82-86 mph fastball, a curveball, slider and change up, from an overhand release point and only walked 2 Kentucky hitters.

2012 SS Will Hurt was the only hitter who solved Concepcion, going 3-3 from his leadoff spot and showing a very balanced and quick swing.  Hurt's speed and defensive tools at shortstop also stood out and he appears to be a young middle infield prospect to follow very closely.

Three Kentucky pitchers combined on a 2 hitter and both Puerto Rico runs scored without benefit of a hit and were unearned.  RHP Matt Spalding made his second 2 inning relief appearance of the event and while he didn't throw the 93/94's he did on Friday, he was 89-91 and struck out 3 hitters in 2 innings.
NY PG Dark Green combines for 2-hitter >>

Gm # 83 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM NY PG Dark Green vs. Florida Stars
10/23/2010 9:21:24 AM
Four NY PG Dark Green pitchers combined for a 2-0, two-hit win over the Florida Stars Saturday morning.

RHP Jeff Hoffman (2011 Albany, NY) led the PG charge with two hitless innings. Hoffman topped out at 86 mph and showed some wiry strength, an athletic delivery, and solid life on his fastball.

RHP Alex Smith and RHP Weston Tranckino combined for two hits and three strikeouts through four innings, and LHP Ryan Kramer closed out the shutout bid in the final inning.

RHP Jamie Cyr (2011 Palm Bay, FL) touched 85 in relief, showing a simple delivery, a loose arm, and nice downhill actions.
Diamond Devils Walk to 11-3 Win Over MSL >>

Gm # 81 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM Diamond Devils vs. MSL All-Stars
10/23/2010 9:15:03 AM
The Diamond Devils took advantage of 8 walks and 2 hit by pitches to record an 11-3 win over the MSL All-Stars.  SS T.J. Costen and C Grayson Geiner each drove home 2 runs for the Diamond Devils.  RHP Brandon Hester got the win, retiring 9 straight hitters to start the game, 6 on strike outs, before being relieved to start the 4th inning.  Hester is a 6-7, 190 lb junior who has very nice feel for an 83-87 mph fastball and commands it well to both sides of the plate.  He'll have to tighten up his curveball in the future but he's very projectable and already knows how to pitch.

DH/C Hunter Lockwood had a strong game at the plate for MSL, just missing an opposite field home run in one at bat that drifted foul and slamming a 2 run triple off the left centerfield fence in his other at bat.  Lockwood has been consistently impressive with his bat speed and power potential at PG/WWBA events all year.
Rodon, offense powers Royals Baseball Club >>

Gm # 80 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM NJ Twins vs. Royals Baseball Club
10/23/2010 9:04:51 AM
LHP Carlos Rodon (2011 Holly Springs, NC) pitched three outstanding innings for the Royals Baseball Club in a 8-1 win over the NJ Twins Saturday morning.

Rodon struck out eight and topped out at 91 mph, sitting between 86-90. He showed a long, loose arm, a fluid, inline delivery, good 12-6 break on his 78-mph curve, and some arm-side run.

RHP Spencer Trayner (2013 Tampa, FL) also pitched well in two innings of relief. Trayner got up to 90 mph and showed high energy and fearlessness on the mound.

Four Royals hitters also recorded multiple hits in the win, including 1B AJ Cole (2011 Huntville, AL) who went 2-for-3 with two singles for three RBI and showed good power, strength in his swing, and an ability to stay inside the ball.

SS Julius Gaines (2011 Locust Grove, GA) also went 2-for-3, hitting two singles — one for two RBI — while showing great speed on the base paths. C Mario Amaral (2011 Hieleah, FL) went 2-for-3 with a double and a single and showed some pop and an open stance at the plate.

CF Roman Quinn (2011 Port St. Joe, FL) went 2-for-4 with a single and a double and stayed inside the ball well to hit to the opposite field. He also flashed some speed.

Meanwhile, NJ Twins RHP Evon Previte (2011 Raritan, NJ) touched 87 mph, showing an inline finish and good balance in his delivery. RHP Charlie Gaines (2011 Phoenix, MD) hit 86 and showed some arm speed, normal effort, and a 71-mph curve with nice break.
Baseball U, South Florida PG Battle to 6-6 Tie >>

Gm # 75 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM Baseball U vs. South Florida PG Kelly Green
10/23/2010 8:41:53 AM
Baseball U. outhit the South Florida PG Kelly Green 9-5  but left 9 runners on base in 5 innings and settled for a 6-6 time rule shortened tie Satruday morning.

The big and intimidating middle of the Baseball U.  lineup was again effective, as RF Mike Papi, DH/1B Keon Barnum and XH/C Chris Harvey combined to go 4-7 with 3 runs scored and 4 Rbi's, including a double and triple.   Barnum and Harvey are 2 of the most impressive 2012 hitting prospects in the country and look the part, with Barnum weighing in at 6-4, 220 lbs and Harvey listed at 6-4, 215 lbs.
Boehm, Lucchetti stand out in Candelosi loss >>

Gm # 78 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM South Florida Elite Squad vs. Cangelosi Baseball
10/23/2010 8:39:12 AM
Cangelosi Baseball RF Jeff Boehm (2011 Lansing, IL) and CF Luke Lucchetti (2011 Yorkville, IL) both went 2-for-3 with two singles in a 2-1 loss to the South Florida Elite Saturday morning.

Cangelosi LHP Matt Trowbridge (2011 Mokena, IL) sat between 81-85 through four innings. He struck out four and showed good command of his late-breaking, 74-mph curve.

South Florida RHP Chuckie Lopez (2012 Pembroke Pines, FL) impressed as well, topping out at 87 and showing a long, loose, and quick arm, good command of all his pitches, and solid, repeatable form.

LHP Andre Martinez (2012 Pembroke Pines, FL) sat between 84-86 during his two innings of relief work, allowing only two hits and showing a long and loose arm, a repeatable delivery, and good command.
NJ PG Red outs Philly Senators >>

10/23/2010 8:30:29 AM
New Jersey PG Red C Keith Skinner (2012 Berkeley Heights, NJ) and 3B Chris Esola (2011 Freehold, NJ) both recorded multiple hits in a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Senators Saturday morning.

Skinner went 2-for-3 with two singles, while Esola went 2-for-2 with a double and a RBI single. Esola showed a nice inside-out swing.
Weaver Throws Masterpiece for the Juice >>

Gm # 77 | 10/23/2010 | 8:00 AM St. Louis Pirates vs. Chet Lemon's Juice
10/23/2010 7:56:45 AM
RHP Luke Weaver faced only 2 batters over the minimum in shutting out the previously undefeated St. Louis Pirates Saturday morning, 3-0.  Weaver, a 6-2 senior who is committed to Florida State, allowed singles in the 2nd and 7th innings while striking out 8 hitters.  The Pirates had scored 20 runs in their previous 3 games.

Weaver worked in the 88-91 mph range with a very hard consistent late movement.  His upper 70's slider is a big breaking out pitch and he occasionally mixed in a 79 mph change up.  Weaver was in complete of both sides of the plate the entire game.

Pirates starter LHP Bryant Holtmann threw well for 4 innings but was let down by his defense, allowing 3 unearned runs.  The 6-5 southpaw topped out at 88 mph, pitching mostly with his fastball and showing very good command.
Mizuno Unleashes Bats/Arms in Friday Night Win >>

10/23/2010 6:31:00 AM
FTB Mizuno brought out some of the big weapons Friday night in their 8-2 win over the Mid-Atlantic Rookies.  The game was perhaps the most heavily scouted of the tournament thus far, as there were only 4 games being played under the lights at the 7:40 pm time slot.  Golf carts were lined up foul pole to foul pole and navigating the traffic jam behind home plate was worse than rush hour.

The game got off to a strange beginning, as Mizuno starter RHP Hudson Boyd was forced to leave the game after 2 pitches (92 and 94 mph) when he injured his left shoulder fielding a bunt leading off the bottom of the 1st inning.  That forced Mizuno to bring in Aflac All-American LHP Henry Owens, the 2009 Jupiter Most Valuable Pitcher, who was more than up to the task.  Owens threw 3 2/3 hitless innings, striking out 7 hitters, in a dominating performance.  The 6-7 Owens appears to hand his 90-91 mph fastball to the catcher at times with his extra long arms.

The Mizuno bats broke out after a slow start at the tournament.  3B Javier Baez went 3-4 with a triple and 2 Rbi's to key the offense out of the #2 slot in the line up.  1B Dan Vogelbach crushed a triple to RCF and reached base all 4 times at bat.  LF Dante Bichette had a couple of hits, including a absolute bullet ground rule double that was 101 mph off the bat.

RHP John Taylor started for Mid Atlantic and went 4 solid innings, allowing 3 runs while showing an 88-91 mph fastball and a snappy 76 mph curveball.
Orioles Drop 9 Spot on PG Teal >>

Gm # 69 | 10/22/2010 | 7:40 PM Perfect Game Teal vs. Orioles Scout Team
10/23/2010 6:13:09 AM
The Orioles Scout Team scored 9 runs in the 4th inning to coast to a 10-1 run rule victory over PG Teal Friday night.  The Orioles only managed 2 hits and 1 run in their other 4 at bats but that one inning was more than enough.

C Stephen Perez and LF A.J. Lardo each had triples in the big inning.

2011 RHP Andrew Flaherty went 3 shutout innings to get the win, striking out 7 hitters with a mid 80's fastball and hard 76 mph curveball.  2012 LHP John Allen (6-4, 180, Creedmoor, NC) stood out for his arm strength in relief, touching 87 mph with an effortless arm action and release.  Allen has a few balance/pace issues to work out with his delivery but is a young southpaw to follow carefully.
Ontario Blue Jays Top Marucci Elite 7-5 >>

Gm # 70 | 10/22/2010 | 7:40 PM Ontario Blue Jays vs. Marucci Elite
10/23/2010 6:02:53 AM
One game slot after Team British Columbia upset the ABD Bulldogs, the Ontario Blue Jays made it two straight notable victories Friday night by downing Marucci Elite 7-5.

The game was a see saw affair that didn't stand out for its clean, crisp play, as both pitching staffs walked 7 hitters and were consistently working in and out of jams.  As an indicator, perhaps the two most important offensive players for the Blue Jays were C Justin Marra and RF Alex Kupchak, who went a combined 0-0 in 6 at bats with 4 walks, a hit by pitch and a Sac Fly that accounted for 3 runs scored and 2 Rbi's.

2011 RHP Wes Wisler started and went 3 2/3 innings for Marucci, working at 88-91 mph with a big breaking mid 70's curveball that could be a plus pitch with a more consistent release point and better command.

2012 RHP Walker Buehler (Lexington, KY) was notable in relief, showing 3 nice pitches in a 86-89 mph fastball, a big 78 mph curveball and a fading 80 mph change up.  The 6-1, 150 lb Buehler has a fast arm and a sound delivery.
Heat Knock Out 11 Hits, Down PG Canada 8-2 >>

Gm # 71 | 10/22/2010 | 7:40 PM PG Canada Gold vs. Houston Heat
10/23/2010 5:54:20 AM
The Houston Heat knocked out 11 hits and cruised to a 8-2 win over PG Canada in one of the late games Friday night.

C Cole Lankford (2011, Houston) went 2-4 with a double and a couple of runs scored.  Lankford is a 6-1, 195 right handed hitter with very good strength and present bat speed and has sound hitting mechanics.  Interestingly, Lankford has started both Heat games behind the plate while Aflac All-American C/RHP Daniel Mengden has been playing left field.  Mengden, a very good all around athlete, was 1-2 with a walk, sacrifice fly and 2 Rbi's in the game.

2011's RHP Joe Kirkland and LHP Austin Fairchild both threw well for the Heat.  Kirkland started and went 3 shutout innings, striking out 7 Canada hitters. He has a well balanced slow paced delivery with a long extended arm action and was 87-90 mph with a hard breaking downer curveball at 74 mph.   Fairchild struck out 5 in 2 1/3 innings of work, working at 87-89 mph with a 75 mph curveball.  Fairchild will have to work on his delivery, as he walked 4 hitters and was wild all over the zone, but he has plenty of arm strength and deception.
Orvis, Angelis Lead Scorpions to 8-2 Victory >>

Gm # 30 | 10/22/2010 | 10:20 AM Orlando Scorpions vs. PG White
10/23/2010 7:07:06 AM
EH/C Spencer Angelis and 1B Sikes Orvis showed their power in leading the Orlando Scorpions to a 8-2 win over the PG White team.  Angelis stroked a 2 run double in the first inning after singles by 3B Sean Trent and CF Austin Bousfield opened the inning.  The left handed hitting Orvis followed with a bomb deep to right field to make the score 4-0.  Angelis later added another double and Rbi in the 5th inning and popped a 2.00 game throw as well.

Catching is not a position that the Scorpions are short of.  Angelis is a primary catcher hitting 3rd in the line up, Orvis is a secondary catcher in the cleanup spot.  #5 hitter A.C. Carter is the regular Scorpions catcher and #6 hitter Blake Sydeski is also a primary catcher but playing in the outfield to get his bat in the line up.

2011 RHP Jake Herrera pitched the first 3 innings for Orlando, striking out 7 hitters, including the first 5 of the game, while allowing 1 hit.  Herrera throws from a low 3/4's release point and hard sink on his 84-87 mph fastball.  Herrera also gets very good spin on a 78 mph slider for his release point.

Diaz pitched four innings and allowed one run on three hits while striking out six. He topped out at 87 mph and showed good movement on his 80-mph change up and sharp break and action on his curve. He also mixed his pitches well and got stronger as the game progressed.

Wirsu, meanwhile, pitched three two-hit innings, touching 88 mph and striking out five. He showed very good run on his fastball and tight spin on his 77-mph curve. He also had good command, good mechanics, and an easy delivery.

Braves LF Ricky Sanchez (2012 Miami, FL) went 2-for-3 with two singles. He drove in a run on his two-out first-innings single.

Team British Columbia RHP Kenton Schroter (2011 Nanaimo, BC) and RHP Kyle Joel (2011 Maple Ridge, BC) combined efforts in a 5-3 win over the ABD Bulldogs Friday evening.

Schroter struck out seven through five innings, topping out at 86 mph and showing aggressiveness on the mound, a quick arm, and a two-piece arm action. Meanwhile, Joel pitched two one-hit innings in which he struck out five, touched 84, and showed a loose arm, a quick arm, a plus 74-mph change up, and good break on his 66-mph curve.

10/22/2010 6:55:32 PM
Orlando PG Black SS Kevin Brantley (2012 Apopka, FL) and 2B Kevan Thompson (2012 Merritt Island, FL) both recorded multiple hits in a 4-2 win over the Rangers Midwest Scout Team Friday evening.

San Gabriel Holds on After Early 9-0 Lead >>

10/22/2010 12:14:09 PM
The San Gabriel Valley Arsenal scored 6 runs in the first inning and 3 more in the 3rd to take a 9-0 lead and held on to defeat the Richmond Braves 9-5.  1B Daniel Arellano and RF Vahn Bozoian had 2 Rbi hits during the Arsenal's big first inning.  Aflac All-American SS Christian Lopes scored runs in both of San Gabriel's rallies.

From a scouting perspective the highlight of the game was the 7th inning appearance of 2012 RHP Cody Poteet of the Arsenal.  We've heard stories of Poteet's velocity increases this fall and saw it first hand as the  Bonita, CA native pitched pretty much at 93-94 mph.  As Poteet already has one of the best curveballs in the 2012 class, a hard breaking hammer at 78-80 mph, that's impressive stuff.

10/21/2010 4:34:49 PM
Florida Legends/White Sox Scout Team SS Tyler Greene (2011 Roswell, GA) and C Aramis Garcia (2012 Pembroke Pins, FL) both tallied multiple hits in a 7-6 win over the PG Canada Gold squad.

Greene went 2-for-4 with a RBI single and a double in the No. 2 spot, showing an even, line-drive swing, quick actions on defense, and solid arm strength on the field.

Meanwhile, Garcia hit a pair of doubles — one for two RBI — in his 2-for-3 effort that included a RBI sacrifice bunt. He showed an upright, quiet approach in the box and plus arm speed behind the plate, recording a 2.06 pop time in between innings.

The Legends also got a gem effort from RHP Andres Gracia (2011 Miami, FL) who pitched four scoreless innings. Gracia allowed just three hits and struck out five while touching 88 mph. He showed solid life, some effort in his delivery, good command, and a solid feel for his 76-mph slider.

East Coast PG Grey Win 3-1 >>

Gm # 7 | 10/21/2010 | 3:30 PM South Florida Elite Squad vs. East Coast PG Gray
10/21/2010 4:25:29 PM
Three East Coast PG Grey pitchers combined on a 1-hitter in a 3-1 over the South Florida Elite:  RHP Harlan Richter (2 innings), LHP Victor Cole (3 innings) and RHP Devin Perry (2 innings).  Perry showed the best prospect stuff of the trio, touching 90 mph with a hard breaking curveball up to 75 mph but struggled with his command at times, allowing the sole South Florida run after walking 3 hitters.

2012 RHP Dominick Mancini (Westin, FL) threw very well at times, striking out 7 hitters in 3 innings, but was hurt by his defense and allowed a couple of unearned runs in taking the loss.  Mancini pitched at 86-88 mph with a 12/6 curveball from a high 3/4's arm slot.
Tillery goes 2-fer in All-American loss >>

10/21/2010 4:20:11 PM
All-American Prospects/Indians Scout Team SS Jack Tillery (2011 Naples, FL) was the only player to record multiple hits in a 1-0 loss to the Homeplate Chilidogs Thursday afternoon.

Tillery went 2-for-3 in the No. 6 spot, hitting a single and a double off Chilidogs RHP Kevin Werner (2011 Sharpsburg, GA) who topped out at 86 mph and allowed just four hits through five innings while striking out five. Werner showed good mechanics, a good slide-step pick-off move to first, and a solid 78-mph change up.

Homeplate LHP Morgan Pittman (2011 Sharpsburg, GA) also impressed in the final two innings in which he struck out four and allowed just one hit. Pittman also showed some arm-side run on his fastball and good command on the mound.

The Prospects weren't without quality arms either, however. RHP Tanner Anderson (2011 Tampa, FL) topped out at 89 mph during his five innings of work for the Prospects. Anderson allowed just one hit and struck out four, showing good mechanics, a long, loose arm, and nice command of all three of his pitches. He flashed a 77-mph curve and a 82-mph slider in addition to his fastball.

RHP Jose Brizuela (2011 Weston, FL) also pitched well, hitting 90 through two innings. Brizuela worked quickly and threw only from the stretch.

10/21/2010 3:59:55 PM
RHP Joe Goodman (2011 Ames, IA) helped the St. Louis Pirates to a 1-0 win over the Philly Senators Thursday afternoon. Goodman only allowed two hits and struck out two through three innings, touching 87 mph in the process while showing a fast arm, a long two-piece arm action, a drop-and-drive delivery, and good pitchability. He also flashed a short, tight 76-mph curve with 12-6 spin and a good, tight 79-mph slider with downward break.
New Perfect Game Record? >>

10/21/2010 3:49:49 PM
The Toronto Blue Jays have the largest amateur scouting staff in baseball and their organizational approach to scouting is very, very detailed.  That certainly shows in their approach to the WWBA World Championships this year.

Toronto has in excess of 30 scouts here in Jupiter and have rented 23 golf carts for the weekend.  Suffice to say, every player on every team, from the eventual champions to the team that doesn't win a game, will be covered by the Blue Jays.
Northeast PG Purple Upsets Canes Baseball 2-1 >>

Gm # 1 | 10/21/2010 | 3:00 PM Canes Baseball vs. NE PG Purple
10/21/2010 3:20:49 PM
In the first upset of the tournament, Northeast PG Purple scored a couple of unearned runs in the 3rd inning and made it stand up for a 2-1 win over Canes Baseball.

LHP Mike Gilroy (3 1/3 innings) and RHP Evan Beal (3 2/3 innings) threw plenty well enough to get the win for Canes, allowing only 4 hits and ringing up 13 strikouts.  However, 2 out singles by Northeast CF Mike Presley and EH Sam Garito came back to haunt Gilroy in the third inning when both came around to score on a double error on what should have been the third out of the inning.

The 6-5, 190 lb Beal (2011, Fairfax Station, VA) showed nice projectable stuff while striking out six hitters.  Beal pitched in the 86-88 mph range and threw a hard slider that had nice hard 2 plane action at times.


Velazquez Keys 1-0 Marucci Elite Victory >>

Gm # 3 | 10/21/2010 | 3:00 PM Marucci Elite vs. Palm Beach Select
10/21/2010 3:08:26 PM
2012 CF Andrew Velazquez continued the clutch play that won him the MVP award from the WWBA Underclass World Championships 2 weeks ago, driving a 1 out double in the bottom of the 6th inning and coming around to score the only run in a 1-0 Marucci Elite win over Palm Beach Select.

Three Marucci pitchers combined on a 4 hit shutout.  2012 RHP Gabe Gunter went the first 3 innings, striking out 6 hitters with a 85-87 mph fastball and a low 70's curveball that showed very good depth at times.  Gunter, who is from Crestview, Florida, has a pro type build at 6-5, 225 lbs.

2011 LHP Henri Faucheux threw the middle 2 innings for Marucci, striking out 4 hitters and topping out at 88 mph with a very sharp downer curveball.  Fellow 2011 southpaw Art Moran-Vidrio finished up with 2 scoreless innings to get the win, also topping out at 88 mph.

RHP Cory Slater threw very well in his 2 innings of work for Palm Beach, topping out at 89 mph with a tight spinning 74 mph curveball.
FTB Mizuno, Reds Midwest Scout Team Tie 0-0 >>

10/21/2010 2:43:20 PM
FTB Mizuno has one of the most impressive lineups in Jupiter, with 3 Aflac All-Americans and a host of other top hitting prospects including 1B Dan Vogelbach and 3B Dante Bichette.

That evidently didn't intimidate RHP Kevin Elder of the Reds Midwest Scout Team.  Elder, a 6-0, 215 lb junior from Elgin, Illinois, threw a complete game 3 hit shutout at Mizuno but had to settle for a "no decision" when 3 Mizuno pitchers combined on a 1 hit shutout themselves.  Elder pitched between 85 and 90 mph on his fastball with some deception to his delivery and arm action.  His upper 70's slurve was especially snappy but he did a very mature job of throw strikes with it to spots, walking only 2 hitters while striking out 7.  With a couple of hundred scouts and college coaches watching the game, Elder is sure to get plenty of attention after his performance.

RHP Jose Fernandez started for Mizuno, throwing 4 near perfect innings, striking out 6 hitters.  Fernandez pitched in the 92-95 mph range and showed plus potential with both his slider and change up in a dominating performance.

2012 LHP Tyler Pike threw 2 2/3 innings for Mizuno and was very impressive as well, pitching in the upper 80's with good consistent spin on an upper 60's curveball.  Pike has a loose, athletic 6-1, 165 lb build and projects well.
Team BC Beats Ontario in "Canadian Cup" >>

10/21/2010 2:29:18 PM
In what has become a Jupiter tradition, Team British Columbia defeated the Ontario Blue Jays 6-2 in an exhibition game prior to the start of play today.  The two Canadian teams both come with very deep rosters to the event and the extra game not only allows them to work on a little East/West Canadian rivalry but lets them get more playing time for their young players.

2B Zach Mihic was the star for Team BC, going 3-3 with a couple of doubles and 2 Rbi's
Dirtbags Open with 9-0 Run Rule Win >>

Gm # 4 | 10/21/2010 | 3:00 PM Dirtbags vs. NY PG Dark Green
10/21/2010 2:23:07 PM
The Dirtbags posted the first win of the championship, defeating New York PG Dark Green 9-0 in a run rule shortened game. 

The North Carolina based team ran out a quartet of hard throwing right handed pitchers.  Adam Griffin started and went 3 innings, striking out 4 hitters and allowing the only NY PG hit of the game.  Griffin topped out at 91 mph with good arm side run and showed an easier delivery and better command that he showed at different times this past summer.

Jason Creasy (88-90, 74 CB), Keaton Haack (85-88, 71 CB) and Brandon Culbreth (89-91, 75 CB) finished up the last 2 innings in flawless fashion for the Dirtbags.

SS Mikal Hill was very impressive defensively for the Dirtbags, showing outstanding range up the middle and plenty of arm strength.  He also reached base 3 times via a single and 2 walks and scored a couple of runs.
Play Underway in Jupiter >>

10/21/2010 2:00:20 PM
It's only an hour into play at the 2010 WWBA World Championships and things look like they are in full swing.  Four games started on the blue quad fields at 3:00 pm and five more started on the red quad fields at 3:30.  There will be a total of 15 games played today, including an 8:15 pm game on the Roger Dean Stadium field between the Palm Beach PAL and the East Cobb Astros that should be an outstanding pitcher's dual between Aflac All-American RHP John Magliozzi of the Astros and RHP Kyle Smith of Palm Beach.

The big attraction for the scouts and coaches right now seems to be on field 5 on the blue quad, where FTB Mizuno is facing the Reds Midwest Scout Team.  Aflac All-American RHP Jose Fernandez started on the mound for Mizuno and has been up to 95 mph in the early going.
