Pacific Invitational Scout Notes

Connor Spencer

Pacific Coast Invitational: Day 1-2 Scout Notes | Day 3 Scout Notes

Day four of the Pacific Coast Invitational began with the tightly contested 14u semifinals and championship, then saw the 16u battle on through day two of their bracket.




In a very close semifinal game between 3n2 Warriors and Slammers Baseball 14u Armor, Aidan Biaggi (2022, Aurora, Colo.) pitched a gem for Slammers Baseball 14u Armor, throwing a complete game with five strikeouts and he battled through adversity in the fifth. Biaggi has a short arm from a three-quarters to low three-quarters arm slot. His fastball sits 77-80 mph and he touched 82 mph during his outing. The fastball has some hard arm-side run and sink at times, especially when locating to his arm side. He’s mostly a fastball curveball type of a pitcher, and he intently manipulates the shape of his curveball. Down and away to righties, the curveball has a high 10-to-4 slider looking shape, that runs away from right handed bats. When thrown more over the heart of the plate, the pitch possesses more of a high 11-to-5 shape that has solid depth and drops in for strikes. Biaggi has a competitive makeup on the mound, and there’s some deception in his sling it type delivery. Slammers Baseball 14u moved on to face the 14u Rangers in the championship game.

In the 14u championship game Slammers Baseball 14u Armor’s bats stayed hot from the semifinal and exploded for 14 runs off 10 hits in the ball game. Both Elijah Lofton (2023, Lofton, Colo.) and Brooks Rodarte (2023, Castle Rock, Colo.) had multi-hit games with smooth looking strokes and clean barrel actions. Slammers Baseball 14u Armor won the Pacific Coast Invitational 14u division by a score of 14-0.




As the 16u division rolled on catcher Patrick Macy (2022, San Mateo, Calif.) went 2-for-3 with a double for Hit Club 16u. His double was a nicely back spun shot to the left center wall. Macy has a conventional upright stance with a simple stride. He has a deep hand load that causes his hands to be late at times. Moreover, Macy almost stands up in his load, as his hands and entire upper half almost come up and work down through the baseball. Simplifying his actions will help his game tremendously and his good hands and solid back hip drive leave promising impressions to scouts.

Connor Hardman (2021, Aurora, Colo.) helped Gameday Angels 16u to win with a two RBI single and he showcased stellar glove work at short. Hardman has a grinders mentality about him that coaches and scouts love to see out of their players. He’s constantly the first man on and off the field and has a quickness to his game that will play at the next level. At short, he has no problem covering either hole, and gets rid of the ball across the diamond in a hurry. At the plate, he has quick hands and a compact swing with good extension through the zone.




Jackson Greenlun (2021, Sartell, Minn.) impressed in the field and at the plate for Acceleration 16u going 2-for-2 with two triples, two RBIs, and two runs scored. Greenlun accounted for half of the team’s eight runs on the board. Behind the plate, Greenlun has a surprisingly strong arm with accuracy that lives around the second base bag. He shows good feel for the game, and frames well for his pitchers. His speed getting down on blocks is still developing. Hitting he has a wide slightly crouched stance with a methodical vertical bat wag. He uses a high leg kick trigger, and his hands go back and up into his load. Grrenlun creates great tension with a steady upper body coil and unleashes some solid whip through the zone when he releases it. Both of his triples were back spun driven baseballs (one was five feet shy of leaving the park). Greenlun shows great projectables and is definitely a high follow moving forward.




Juggernaut Group Baseball Academy 16u’s Anthony Rasmussen (2021, Baldwin Park, Calif.) had an unbelievable full extension catch in centerfield against Bay Area United. Rasmussen has a great ability to cover the gaps in center field and an above average route running tool. At the plate, he has a toe tap trigger with simple hands that launch direct to the baseball.




Hoover Chase (2022, Santa Barbara, Calif.) had a spectacularly dominant performance on the mound striking out 13 hitters through five innings pitched. Chase has a slow and methodical motion with a longer arm action from an over the top slot. He gets a long stride down the mound and tends to miss up in the zone at times. His fastball sits 78-to-80 mph and he touched 81 mph. There’s some downward angle thanks to his slot and he locates the fastball well. His breaking ball is a very large shaped, Barry Zito like curveball that he likes to drop in for strikes. The pitch lacks the spin rate and bite to truly be effective as a kill pitch, but he locates it well and mixes it effectively with his fastball.

Another sweet swinging catcher is CBA Utah 2022’s Sam Lindsey (2023, Santa Clara, Utah.) Lindsey went 2-for-3 with a triple and a double and showcased his great hands that constantly work to stay inside the baseball. He has a middle of the field to oppo approach, and he displayed plus pop to his oppo side with a drive over the right fielder’s head. He uses a narrow upright stance and stays balanced throughout. There isn’t much hand coil as he takes his hands directly to the baseball, but his strong hands definitely play at the next level.

The night cap of the 16u division brought the best pitching matchup up to this point in the tournament between Juggernaut Group Baseball Academy 16u’s Brandon Delgado (2021, Moreno Valley, Calif.) and CBA Utah’s Jaden Harris (2021, Millville, Utah.).




Delgado highly improved upon his Sunshine West Showcase outing where he topped out at 83 mph on the mound. Against CBA Utah he sat mid- to high-80s and topped out at 88 mph. Delgado begins his motion with a deep breath in and out, then brings his hands down to his waist and then back up again into separation. He has a long arm from an over the top slot and his long and lengthy frame forces some downward angle on his fastball. At times his fastball possesses hard two-seam run and sink and he speeds up his motion near the window giving it a bit of sneakiness to the hitter. His breaking ball is a sharp 12-to-6 curveball that is inconsistent in its quality, yet, flashed ability to be a plus plus kill pitch. Throughout his outing, he spotted up to all four quadrants, and changed hitters eye levels with intent. He went four full innings with 10 strikeouts and only two hits allowed. Delgado is uncommitted at this time, but if he continues to pitch like he did in this outing, that won’t be the case for much longer.




Harris went 4 1/3 innings while fanning nine and only allowing three hits. He has a mid-high leg lift and raises his front arm high when he separates, then pushes hard down the mound. He has a longer arm action as he reaches down and back, then whips it up into an over the top slot. His arm was also electric sitting mid-80s while topping out at 87 mph. He works straight down the rubber and his fastball finds running and cutting action depending on which side of the plate he locates to. His curveball has an 11-to-5 shape with great depth and solid bite down and away especially when thrown to the left side of the plate. His curveball shape is a bit larger than Delgado’s, however, the spin rate is still high, and the pitch still possesses the bite to punch out hitters. His large frame feels intimidating on the mound and like Delgado, will not be uncommitted for long if he continues to pitch this way.

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

2025 Year in Review: College

Craig Cozart

The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory. PG Second-Team All-American, Jared Jones was the heart of the lineup with his 20...

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back. Two Top-10 Picks in the MLB Draft Headline National Players of the Year It was another loaded crop that took home the National Players of the Year as both Ethan Holliday, the National Player of the Year, and Seth Hernandez, National Pitcher of the Year, heard their names called within the first-10 picks in the MLB Draft. Another first...

Top 2027 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Isaiah Burrows
Article Image
With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses. We have already dropped our 2028 Top 75 collegiate prospects board, but this one is our Top 100 college prospects who will be eligible for the 2027 class. These are the Top 100 players in our eyes for this group, and many of them have already shown up on campus and been impactful in many ways. Whether its our top-ranked player in Oregon State’s Dax Whitney or ninth-ranked William Schmidt...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino

The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10. Rk. Name Level Pos.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...
