PG TX Invitationals: 12u | 13u | 14u


Bret Deegan (2023, Spring, Texas) started off the tournament hot by working 80-82 mph with his fastball in the early portion. Deegan has a very projectable frame with a good delivery and a whippy arm stroke. He could mix in a power breaking ball as well and held his velocity well for the majority of his 30-pitch outing.

CE Gaitz (2023, Cypress, Texas) is a good-looking prospect as a lefthanded hitting shortstop who stands at 6-foot, 160-pounds. He’s broad with lots of room to fill and has a direct, simple stroke from the left side. He’s performed well thus far and showed the ability to generate backspin to both gaps with projectable power.

Jordan Miller (2023, Magnolia, Texas) isn’t the biggest prospect on the field, but what he lacks in size he makes up with barrel awareness and instincts. Miller is fairly athletic and has soft hands in the middle infield but stands out offensively with a loose, simple stroke and has a very advanced feel for manipulating the barrel to work on a line to all fields.

Barak Wilkins (2023, The Woodlands, Texas) showed impressive tools on both sides of the ball, impressing with his quiet receiving and arm strength from behind the plate and his mechanically sound swing offensively. He has advanced strength at the point of impact with present hip rotation and looks to fit the profile of a power-hitting catcher.

James Ellwanger (2023, Magnolia, Texas) has present arm talent to go along with a very long and physically projectable 6-foot-1, 147-pound frame. Ellwanger has a very short arm stroke with some quickness to it and ran his fastball up to 79 mph on Friday night while tossing two and one-thirds innings of shutout baseball.

Brandon Seidmeyer (2023, Magnolia, Texas) is a well-built catcher with good tools both defensively and with the stick. He has soft hands behind the dish and popped times around the 2.2 second mark in between innings while he has some loft to the swing plane offensively and creates good carry to both gaps and batted .500 on the weekend.

Jaxon Burch (2023, Watson, La.) didn’t have the greatest stat line on the mound but there’s a lot to like from a scouting perspective. Burch topped out at 79 mph on the weekend with an athletic delivery and a loose arm stroke. He can spin a curveball too with good depth in the mid-60s and recorded a home to first time of 4.50 seconds.

Reese Mooney (2023, Denham Springs, La.) has advanced size at a listed 5-foot-11, 160-pounds and looks the part over at short with legit hitting tools. He moves well to both sides with a strong arm across the diamond while the swing plane is clean with requisite bat speed and his power will come in waves as he fills out his projectable frame.

Easton Tumis (2023, Friendswood, Texas) turned in a strong performance on Friday night going five innings while striking out eight batters. Tumis has an advanced delivery with simple motion to the plate and a loose, easy arm stroke. The 6-foot, 130-pound righthander is slender with lots of room to fill and whipped the arm to produce a fastball that topped out at 80 mph.

Hayden Morris (2023, Conroe, Texas) impressed during his one inning on the mound during their first game on Saturday as he struck out the side in a short, scoreless frame. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound prospect has very good size with present physicality and has a simple delivery with a quick, online arm stroke. He ran his fastball up to 80 mph and showed some feel for a power curveball at 70 mph.

Alexander Petrovic (2023, Cypress, Texas) showed very intriguing two-way potential over the weekend, showing a feel for the barrel and running his fastball up to 81 mph. Petrovic is an extremely lanky and projectable 6-foot-2, 170-pounds and has clear strength with a very direct stroke and a feel for manipulating the barrel to drive the ball to all fields.

Jakob Schulz (2023, Houston, Texas) worked his fastball up to 83 mph and though he struggled with command, he has a 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame that’s ripe for projection. He walked hitters but showed feel for working to both sides with a clean arm stroke, significant angle on the fastball, and a short, power breaking ball in the mid-70s that avoided barrels.

Sam Myers (2023, Cypress, Texas) put on a show this weekend, as though Twelve Silver was eliminated in the first playoff round, Myers batted 1.000 in his three games. Myers is a very good athlete, 4.51 turn time from the left side, and has a quick, compact stroke. He drives the ball well and included some pull side juice with a triple to the right centerfield alley during round one.

Jon Cassidy Vanek (2023, Lake Charles, La.) has a strong three pitch mix on the mound and showed out well during his start on the mound. The delivery is athletic and loose with good arm speed and he topped out at 79 mph. He had good feel for his curveball with projectable shape and even turned over a filthy changeup to get a whiff from a righthanded hitter.

Cale Comeaux (2023, Breaux Bridge, La.) is a very impressive two-way player, with excellent size, bat speed, and present velocity. The 6-foot-2, 168-pound prospect has a free and easy delivery with a clean arm stroke and worked 79-81 mph during his one inning. He has a clean swing with present bat speed too and it’s hard to miss him on a baseball field.

Gabriel Flores (2022, Longview, Texas) showed some of the louder hitting tools of the event with impressive raw bat speed and lots of strength. Flores stands with a physical present build at 6-foot, 160-pounds and he drives through contact with his lower half well to drive the ball as he did on a double and triple that banged off the left field and centerfield wall respectively.

Trenton Lape (2023, Bossier City, La.) had some of the better velocity of the event with a fastball that topped out at 83 mph and lived in the low-80s. The delivery is fluid with good present arm speed and a clean stroke. Lape creates some arm side life and the breaking ball showed good spin flashing sharp break with 11/5 shape.

Noah Paddie (2023, Marshall, Texas) is a true do-it-all shortstop and plays the game hard too. He has very loose, athletic actions over at short with excellent hands and runs well too with a 4.47 turn time on an extra base hit. He has loose hands with a clean swing and did a good job at getting out front to create liners and set the table for the offense.

Brandon Levy (2023, Bossier, La.) is a physical righthanded pitcher with good present arm strength as he worked 80-82 mph during his start. Levy has a compact arm stroke and comes straight over the top, creating some cut on the ball. He fights his front side a bit but also showed a curveball that he could land for strikes.

Diego Luzardo (2023, La Porte, Texas) has a very low effort delivery from a projectable frame. The delivery is simple, out of the stretch, and has a low effort arm stroke with good arm speed by running his fastball up to 82 mph. He sinks the ball nicely and is tough to pick up from a crossfire delivery and pounded the strike zone.

Conner Bennett (2023, Spring, Texas) was outstanding over the weekend showing excellent athleticism and flexibility behind the dish. He has a very quick release with solid arm strength and was popping around 2.08 seconds in between innings. He has good present bat speed and covers the plate nicely with home run power to pull and carry to all fields. 

Tracer Lopez (2023, Rosebud, Texas) set the table all weekend for the Banditos and the combination of athleticism and bat-to-ball skills stands out. The swing is short and direct to the ball and he can hit for extra bases as he manipulates the barrel well to drive it down the line and into the gaps.

Alexander Solis (2023, Mercedes, Texas) has a pretty quick arm and touched 84 mph in two relief appearances this weekend. The arm stroke is loose and fast and Solis has a projectable frame with lots of room to add strength and increase velocity as he develops and fills out from a physicality perspective.

Cameran Christ (2023, Lake Charles, La.) is one of the early commits of the 2023 class with a verbal commitment to Mississippi State. Christ has the physical frame of a D-I prospect with a very broad, projectable 5-foot-11, 165-pound build and operates a very simple, efficient stroke. There’s present bat speed and lift to the plane with good leverage to give him power to pull.

Cade Arrambide (2024, Spring, Texas) stood out in a big way for the 13u age group with present strength and size. Arrambide has tools to work with on the defensive side of the ball with good arm strength and a quick release, he popped around a 2.10 in between innings, and has present juice and missed a long bomb into the trees by a few feet.

Dyson Fields (2023, Ruston, La.) is a nice two-way player that has plenty of righthanded bat speed and a strong arm that registered up to 83 mph on the mound. Fields swing is a bit raw, but it’s fast and he can impact the ball with strength. On the mound, the arm stroke is whippy and the overall projection is enticing as well.

Jordan Luna (2024, Washington, La.) is another young prospect that stood out at the 13u division. Luna rocketed a ball high off the left field wall and has very quick hands with a fluid stroke and good athleticism at short. The arm strength is advanced too as he was up to 81 mph on the mound in a relief stint.

Southeast Super NIT #2 Scout Notes
Jason Phillips

Chase Jelks (‘30 GA)- with a long double to deep CF. Huge day from the primary SS, 5-for-6 w/ 4 doubles & 6 RBI. #SESuperNIT @TheDreamBall @PG_Georgia https://t.co/biFSzXCrUt pic.twitter.com/HCQMduedb5 — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 20, 2026 Chase Jelks (’30, Atlanta, Ga.)- the left-handed hitting Jelks was all over the barrel on Sunday in a pair of games for The Dream 14U Black. He finished the day with five hits in six at-bats which included four doubles and six runs batted in. His two doubles and four runs batted in played a big part in the Gold Playoffs Round 1 victory over the talented BPA squad out of California. He backed up that performance with three more hits in a quarterfinal’s loss to the East Cobb Astros 14U Orange to finish the tournament with a .600 batting average and 1.636 on-base plus slugging percentage. A primary utility infielder,...

College Top 25: May 18

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The regular season is behind us, and it is now tournament time and wow, is there a lot to still be decided.  We are a week away from the Field of 64 being announced and hosting opportunities, at-large bids, as well as automatic bids are there for the taking.  The UCLA Bruins (48-6) continue their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the land, finishing the regular season without losing a series all year.  ACC powers, UNC (43-10) and Georgia Tech (45-9) remain at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively and SEC regular season champs, the Georgia Bulldogs (43-12) stick at No. 4.  After that there was a small amount of shuffling within the Top 10 with No. 5 Texas (40-12), No. 6 West Virginia (37-13) and No. 7 FSU (38-16) moving ahead of now No. 8 Auburn (36-18) after they were the only team in this group to drop their weekend series.   No. 14 Florida (37-18) and No. 15...

CPBL Showcase Scout Notes

Troy Sutherland
Article Image
Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Silky op with big arm speed and projection. Shaky FB command early, 91-93 T94. CH is present plus, weapon vs both LH & RH hitters at 83-84. Good arm side depth to it. SL has some length to the mostly lateral action @ 77. #KState commit.#CPBLShowcaseWknd pic.twitter.com/7TdJ2neOv6 — Perfect Game International (@pg_int1) May 8, 2026 Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Very intriguing athletic upside here, came out early a bit juiced up leading to inconsistent fastball command but settled in and started dotting. Ran the fastball up to 94 with running life. Changeup is ahead of the rest of the arsenal  in terms of quality, and has a parachuting arm side dive that gets frequent swings over the top. Slider is tight with varying length at its best it does have an extra gear to garner a late count whiff. Should fit nicely at Kansas State if he decides to...

Coppy's Corner: May 14 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Drew Burress – Georgia Tech  I love everything that Craig Cozart writes, and his piece on Burress is as good as it gets (link). Craig does a masterful job of showing us how Burress has (not arguably) the best career college performance of any current player. The body of work is consistent and impressive, and Burress has one of the highest floors in the 2026 MLB Draft with above average or better tools across the board.  I’m not going to do a deep dive on Burress’ numbers because there is no point: they are really good, everywhere. I would rather talk about...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 13

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The college baseball postseason has arrived for NCAA Division II, Division III, and the NAIA, bringing with it the most intense stretch of the season. Conference tournaments have wrapped up, national brackets are taking shape, and teams across the country are shifting from regular season positioning to survival mode, where one bad inning can abruptly end a year’s worth of work. The NAIA Opening Round is already underway, and some programs could begin packing for the national finals as early as tomorrow. Across all three divisions, the postseason field is loaded with experienced clubs, dominant pitching staffs, and lineups capable of changing a game with one swing. Now, the focus turns from building résumés to advancing through regional play and chasing national championships. These antepenultimate rankings provide a final snapshot of where the divisions stand entering...

High School Top 50 Update: May 13

Tyler Russo
Article Image
Another week has passed by in the high school baseball season and with that, we have another edition of the National High School Top 50 to bring to you. Playoffs are rolling in southern states and we have reached the final 4 in some of them already. Each week we have new teams break in and this week is no different with three new faces inside the top-50.   The top remains almost identical to a week ago with the top-10 remaining the exact same with Venice (FL) leading the way as the No. 1 team in the nation. North Paulding (GA) swept Buford in an Elite 8 matchup in Georgia and move up a pair of spots to No. 12 in the country. Another big mover is St. Laurence (IL) who jumps nine spots to No. 13 and boast a 30-1 record on the year. Waxahachie (TX) continues to move up and are up nine spots this week to No. 32.   The three new teams inside the National Top 50 are Etowah...

College Players of the Week: May 12

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
May 12th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech  It would be hard to come up with an award that Drew Burress, the 5-9/185 junior from Houston County, GA, hasn’t achieved throughout his All-American career for the Yellow Jackets.  From being named the Perfect Game Freshman of the Year in 2024, to being a semifinalist for the Dick Howser and Golden Spikes Award in 2025, it would be a challenge for a mere mortal to live up to the expectations.  Burress has done that and more as he etched his name in the record books last weekend when he tied Georgia Tech legend Jason Varitek’s record for career home runs.  Launching round-trippers in each of their 3-victories against ACC foe Duke, Burress brought his total to an incredible 57 over his three seasons in Atlanta.  For the weekend, he collected 6 hits in 12 at bats, scoring 6...

College Top 25: May 11

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
Well, in what seems like the blink of an eye, here we are in the last week of the NCAA College Baseball regular season.  It has been an incredible ride and there is still much riding on these last series of the year as teams grapple to improve their postseason resume.  It will be a short week with most every 3-game set starting on Thursday this week as conference tournaments get under way early next week.  While they were given their biggest scare of the season and did see their 25-game Big Ten winning streak come to an end, UCLA (46-5) will remain the No. 1 team in the nation.  They were pushed to the brink last weekend by now No. 11 Oregon (36-14), entering Sunday for their first rubber match of the year.  They did find themselves down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the 6th inning before they came storming back with 8-unanswered runs over the next three frames...

PG Draft Top 400: Biggest Risers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The draft cycle is officially in full swing. With the college season nearing postseason play and high school baseball underway across the country, the board is beginning to shift in a major way. Over the past month, a number of players have significantly altered their stock, whether by continuing dominant spring performances or showing improved tools that warrant a jump. That movement was evident throughout our latest Top-400 update, which featured several notable jumps across the board. Here’s a look at the biggest risers from the newest rankings update. Biggest Risers Overall  Huge day at the yard for James Tronstein (‘26, CA). 3-for-4 which included 2 HRs, one to dead center and the other to straight away right. Now up to 8 on the year. Has been a consistent @PG_Draft riser this spring and is getting hot at the right time. #PGHS @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/6grT1zZ9lg...

High School Notebook: May 7

Cam McElwaney
Article Image
Ryder Bell, LHP, Hamilton (AZ) Bell got the ball for Hamilton in the first round of playoff action and did not blink. The young left-hander tosses 6 2/3 strong innings with four strikeouts and just one walk. Bell faced some adversity at times with runners on, but consistently competed and found a way out of most jams. An athletic operation with intent is shown on the mound. Bell throws from a lower 3/4 slot that can create a tough angle. The fastball worked 82-85 mph with armside run. It paired well with a sweeper at 70-72 mph. Bell attacked the zone with both pitches often and landed the sweeper arm side consistently. The stuff has already shown it can play against quality lineups. Bell should be a fun name to monitor over the next couple years.    Cory Wuttke (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to LF for solo 💣. Multi-hit performance. Stays compact with strength at contact....

Coppy's Corner: May 7 POY Deep Dive

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart to discuss Top 25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Tyce Armstrong – Baylor University  Armstrong is a big man with a big bat that produces big power. Just the second player in the history of Baylor to reach 20 HR in a single season – if you knew the other one was Charley Carter in 1998, you get the gold star – Armstrong brings an impact bat that can turn the game around with one swing. Listed at 6’4 / 228 he is Texas-strong and has been tearing up the Big 12 this season. Armstrong spent his first three season at the University of Texas – Arlington before transferring to Baylor for the 2026 season. He had a...
