Pitching Highlights

10/25/2020

Jonathan Peric (2022 RHP, Valley Village, CA) has a very physical 6-foot-3 frame with room to fill out and a strong fastball that will only improve. It sat 82-85 mph in his bullpen session and he was locating it to both sides of the plate with intent. His short arm action gets to the window in a hurry and it helps to make his fastball play up. He also mixes in a curveball and a changeup that both show promise.

Vaughn Neckar (2025 3B, Murrieta, CA) the 13 year old has a very bright future ahead of him on the mound with an already mature looking fastball up to 84 mph. Pair his power fastball with a wipeout curveball and he’s well on his way to becoming one of the best pitching prospects heading into high school. Special stuff at such an early age.

Colin Loughrey (2021 OF, Laguna Niguel, CA) showcased technically sound mechanics and easy velocity off the bump in his bullpen session. He ran his fastball up to 84 mph and paired it with two strong secondary pitches. His 74 mph changeup possesses good late fade to the plate and could blossom into a plus pitch as his arm continues to mature on the mound.

Kyle Wilsie (2021 RHP, San Diego, CA) possesses a four pitch mix with good pitchability that he can use in a number of different ways to produce outs. The most unique pitch to his arsenal is a true forkball that occasionally tumbles hard down and away to his arm side. He also throws both a curveball and a slider that both can miss bats at any time. His fastball up to 85 mph is solid but most definitely plays up when he decides to pitch backwards.

Jacob Mainer (2022 3B, Hanford, CA) put together a professional looking pen with plus command of his entire arsenal. Both his off-speed pitch and curveball show fantastic promise and he’s able to locate both for strikes as well as down and away for out pitches. His fastball isn’t overpowering at around 74-76 mph, nonetheless, his pitchability and maturity on the hill will produce plenty of empty swings.

Garren Rizzo (2023 SS, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA) younger pitcher with a mature approach. Polished mechanics. Power pitcher. Higher leg lift. Slight coil and works down the hill with momentum. 84-85 mph FB appears to have the ability to play up and there is a lot more to come. Heavy sinking life down and explosive riding life up. Compliments fastball with 70 mph breaking pitch that he calls a curve ball, but has more slider action. Short and late with tight spin. Noticeable upside for this emerging player. 

Dylan Proost (2023 1B, Lakewood, CA) long and powerfully built RHP. Classic righthander mechanics. Higher knee lift and coil. Big push and drive down the hill. Longer arm stroke and the ball jumps on release. Impressively active 84-86 mph fastball that shows noticeable arm side run and heavy sink. His heater is a bat breaker. His two secondary pitches are truly advanced for a 2023. 73 mph slider shows 11/5 sharp and late break and plus depth at the dish. 72 mph change-up tunnels from FB slot and tumbles late. Promising future for this uncommitted HS sophomore.

Jaden Alba (2023 RHP, Long Beach, CA) was physical on the mound as he stands at an already filling out 6-foot-2. Showed a whippy arm, with plenty of more velocity down the road. He had ultimate confidence in his four pitch arsenal as he commanded them all well. The fastball was up to 81 mph with cut to it as he pounded the glove side with it. He flashed feel for the changeup and two breaking balls, including a slider and a curveball. He projects nicely going forward and has nothing but upside. 

Easton Marks (2022 OF, Denver, CO) impressed all over the field today and that was true for the mound today. The right-hander has physical strength already showing throughout the build and was athletic in his overall operation. He did a great job driving with the lower half and gained ground, getting over his front side generating easy velocity. Fastball was up to 84 with life out of hand and mixed in a slurvy breaking ball. His changeup was his best secondary as it faded late. 

Andrew Miehe (2023 RHP, Corona Del Mar, CA) is a young arm who is already physically advanced showing a strong lower half and broad shoulders. He had a loose, fast arm as he filled the zone with multiple pitches. He ran the fastball up to 85 mph and was able to work both sides of the dish with it. His curveball was nothing short of nasty as it showed late bite with 11-to-5 movements. He also had a solid sweeping slider and mixed in a fading changeup. Pitchability visible and is a name to watch going forward. 

Max Mendes (2024 RHP, Lemoore, CA) was very clean in his operation as he was athletic in the delivery while filling up the zone. He let every pitch go with a smooth arm action and proved to be confident in his stuff. The fastball was up to 82 mph and he is going to throw hard one day if he keeps progressing. He also proved to have feel for a depthy slider and a tumbling changeup. 

Landon Gordon (2025 RHP, Irvine, CA) was very mature in his actions, even for his young age as he impressed on the mound. He did a good job of staying direct to the dish and got over the front side well as he hit his spots. The fastball was up to 80 mph and had feel for the secondaries. The changeup was his best offspeed as it faded out of the zone late and was a swing and miss type pitch. He also mixed an 11-to-5 breaking ball and a cutter that he command decently. 

Brenden Evans (2021 RHP, Los Angeles, CA) is an intriguing '21 who was loud in his actions on the mound today. He flashed a very quick arm and did a good job of transferring weight down the mound as he threw a very heavy fastball. He ran the fastball up to 89 mph as it showed some nice cut to it. He also had an upper-60's breaking ball that had sharp late bite to it that was very good when down. He also flashed a changeup during his bullpen that he landed for strikes. Would be a good late snag for a rotation in need of a power arm. 

Reagan Rivera (2021 SS, San Diego, CA) was very solid in all aspects of the game as he impressed in multiple ways. He ended his workout today on the mound after hours of drills, batting practice, & catching bullpens but still brought energy to the mound. The arm strength is nothing short of impressive and he was very athletic in his delivery. He ran the fastball up to 87 mph as it jumped out of hand. He also had both a curveball and slider with the curveball showing late tilt. To add to a solid arsenal, he threw a couple knuckle balls that danced and had the catcher struggling to glove it. Big two-way potential showing here. 

 

 


Batting Practice Highlights

10/25/2020

Cristian Brewster (2023 SS, Porter Ranch, CA) keeps things simple at the plate with a quiet load and smooth stroke. His quick hands allow him to let the ball get deep and his hit tool will only benefit from it. His line drive round led things off and was one of the more professional rounds of the day.

Ian Duarte (2023 OF, Santa Clarita, CA) With a narrow and upright stance, Duarte does a great job of working his hands down through the zone. He shows a great feel for the barrel with an ability to hunt the inner half of the baseball with consistency.

Jordan Carrington (2022 1B, Rancho Cucamonga, CA) showcased fantastic bat speed with good pop to his pull side gap. He has the ability to drive the ball to all fields when on time with the pitcher and he’s learning to use his lower half more with his wider set up.

Cody Nitowitz (2023 OF, Carlsbad, CA)is a switch hitter who impressed with plus bat speed and feel for the barrel from both sides of the plate. He uses a narrow stance with a leg lift trigger from both sides of the plate and has the potential to develop a plus power tool from both sides.

Gabriel Juarez (2022 C, Reseda, CA) used his physical frame to his advantage and drove some balls into both gaps. Simple linear weight shift with not much of a front foot stride, Juarez throws his hands direct to the baseball and explodes his backside through at launch.

Colin Loughrey (2021 OF, Laguna Niguel, CA) has a smooth and fluid stroke with a middle of the field approach that backspins the ball up the middle with consistency. He gets great extension with his hands out in front and he flashed some great pop to his pull side.

Maxwell Paterson (2022 OF, Bothell, WA) put the ball out of the yard to his pull side, as his great bat speed and flat barrel plane through the zone translate to a plus power tool. Paterson’s hit tool stands to continue to improve as he simplifies his stroke and matures his approach.

Sebastian Smith (2021 3B, Lakewood, CA) Also put together a powerful round as he creates a ton of leverage in his swing with a heavy linear weight shift in the box and a long stride trigger. His power tool will continue to improve alongside his large and physical frame.

Easton Marks (2022 OF, Denver, CO) Took a solid round today as he does a good job of staying balanced throughout the swing. He utilized a short, simple cut as he was linear through the zone, impacting out front with authority. He drove it gap to gap during his round and proved to have some pull-side power in the bat. 

Hunter Stencil (2022 3B, Bonita, CA) Found a barrel in almost every swing he took today. Advanced bat to ball skills showing as he was consistently on time. He peppered the middle of the field with line drive after line drive and took one of the more impressive rounds from a squaring it up standpoint. 

Derek Gonzales (2023 C, Costa Mesa, CA) Utilized a strong set of hands and a sturdy lower half as he impacted the baseball with authority. He knew how to leverage the baseball and did just that as he hammered long fly balls to the middle of the field throughout his round. Look for him to be a power threat down the road as he already is starting to show it. 

Samuel Valenti (2024 OF, Santa Rosa, CA) took a slightly inconsistent round today but when he squared it up, it was some of the loudest contact of the day. He creates quick bat speed as he wraps over the helmet and then unwinds. He really proved to have some pull-side pop when he got extended and timed it up. 

Cooper Whitton (2022 OF, San Diego, CA) did a good job of transferring weight into the swing as he showed a big leg pick before taking some big cuts at the baseball. He stayed linear through the zone and found some loud barrels to the pull-side. Strength in wrists showing and was confident with the bat in his hands. 

Landon Gordon (2025 RHP, Irvine, CA) sprayed the baseball around the park during his round as he found barrels with every cut. He stays short to the baseball, then long through the zone as he finds the bat head with heavy hands. He was consistent with his approach and has great hand-eye coordination, fully showcasing his hit tool. 

Caleb Milanes (2022 2B, Signal Hill, CA) took an excellent round of batting practice as he drove the baseball with ease into each gap. He was mechanically sound with his cut as he stayed inside the baseball and knew how to backspin it. He also flashed some power to the pull-side with some long fly-balls. 

Steve Arteaga (2022 C, Murrieta, CA) had a great set of hands as he flashed some next level bat to ball type skills. He looked to do damage with every cut he took today and did so with some success. When he found the barrel, he hammered baseballs around the park and even proved to have some projectable power.
