17u Round Robin Scout Notes

Joe Mack (2021, Williamsville, N.Y.) is an ultra-physical lefthanded hitting catcher and his raw pop is certainly noteworthy. On Monday that power was on full display as the Clemson commit deposited a home run deep into the trees over the right field fence at East Cobb’s Field 1. The bomb followed a deep double to the opposite field gap that. Mack showed a true gap-to-gap approach with impressive juice to each alley. Mack is listed at 6-foot, 187 pounds and is advanced beyond his age both in the batter’s box and behind the plate. He moves well laterally at his catching position and shows plenty of flexibility behind the plate. Mack is among the top catchers in the 2021 class and his all-around ability were highlighted in a big way in this week’s action.

Dalton Pearson (2020, Johns Creek, Ga.) is a quick-twitch outfielder who has elite speed and a quick righthanded bat. Pearson gets down the first base line well running better than a 4.31 home to first in game and as quick as 4.20 seconds. He tracks the baseball well in center field where he glides to the baseball and uses his elite speed when necessary. The top-ranked uncommitted 2020 graduate in the state of Georgia has really smooth all-around tools and the way he swung the bat this week certainly makes him an intriguing player to follow in the 2020 class. His hands work into the swing with a direct path to contact and creates a line drive swing plane. Pearson found several barrels during the week squaring up the baseball and showcasing really impressive barrel-to-ball skills.




Nolan Schanuel (2020, Boynton Beach, Fla.) is an elite level hitter who showed an outstanding overall week of baseball swinging the bat with intent and lining the baseball to all fields. The Florida Atlantic commit definitely looks the part of a power-hitting lefthanded bat standing at a believable 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Schanuel’s timing at the plate is really impressive as he uses a balanced leg lift trigger to get his swing started. He moves into contact while staying balanced and reading pitches well out of the pitcher’s hand. The future Owl has strength at impact as well as a knack for hitting the baseball on the barrel. His barrel skills and overall strength are going to allow Schanuel to hit for a high average and potential power moving forward.

Hudson Sapp (2020, Dawsonville, Ga.), a verbal commit to Ole Miss, is another lefthanded-hitting outfielder who had a huge week at the plate for DRB Elite 17U. His five hits were among the most of any player in the event and he made plenty of loud contact. Sapp barreled a pair of home runs during the event as well as a double to the pull-side gap. Sapp’s power is noteworthy but ultimately his barrel skills are what set him apart. Sapp is a confident hitter at the top of a talented DRB lineup and sparks the offense with his tools at the plate. His swing is relatively loose with plenty of whip of the barrel through the hitting zone and jump when on time as shown by his strong hitting performance at the 17U Round Robin.

Uncommitted lefthander Jack Sharpe (2020, Jupiter, Fla.) took the hill for the FTB Rockets 2020 on Tuesday with several collegiate coaching eyes looking on. Sharpe is a physical kid with great strength present while still showing looseness to his mechanics on the mound. Sharpe uses a clean arm action and an online delivery to produce a fastball that sits in the upper-80s and touching 89 mph. He works off of the fastball and is able to get it to both sides of the plate. He throws with some effort, but the release is clean throughout the throwing motion. The uncommitted southpaw from south Florida accompanied his fastball with a breaking ball that flashed sharp biting action to it late. The pitch has minor inconsistencies to it, but when thrown with conviction it has the makings of a swing-and-miss pitch. Sharpe did run into some command issues at times, but the overall stuff he produces on the mound is projectable at the Division I level.

Kaleb Corbett (2020, Louisville, Ky.) worked in relief on the bump for the East Cobb Astros on Tuesday afternoon and showed some of the best velocity of the event. Corbett ran his fastball up to 90 mph multiple times while sitting consistently in the upper-80s. The Louisville commit has a strong lower half in his 6-foot, 200-pound frame and a full arm action allowing for the fastball to reach 90 mph. He uses that strong back leg to drive off of the rubber and down the mound creating a downhill plane. The ball really jumps out of his hand as it got in on hitters’ hands and made for an uncomfortable at-bat. He flashed a curveball with late bite that was his out pitch during the contest. His pair of innings were quick ones and although he did not have to throw many pitches, the velocity combined with the overall stuff make Corbett a promising arm for pitching coach Roger Williams at Louisville.

A pair of arms from Wisconsin were given the ball for the GRB Rays as uncommitted righthander George Klassen (2020, Port Washington, Wisc.) got the start on Wednesday. Klassen is an athletic and projectable righty whose fastball sits in the low-90s. He threw 21 pitches in this start before having to be pulled due to problems with his back. The stuff is certainly intriguing although this outing was not what he was expecting. The fastball sat 91-93 while creating plane to the plate. He throws with a loose arm action and plenty of tempo and rhythm to his delivery. He flashed a curveball at 79 mph that is a developing pitch and worked best with each of his pitches when staying online to the plate and releasing the baseball out in front with good extension.

Ryan Stefiuk (2020, Green Bay, Wis.), a commitment to Vanderbilt, was the other arm for GRB who showed outstanding stuff on Wednesday. His “side bullpen day prior to WWBA starting” was displayed by an electric inning on the mound where the lefthander sat 88-90 mph with a curveball that was a true weapon and swing-and-miss pitch. The lefthander has a really quick arm and creates a very tough angle to the plate. The delivery is filled with intent as he releases out in front while showcasing the ability to locate both of his pitches with ease and effectiveness. Stefiuk is certainly an arm to follow in the 2020 class as there still may be more in his tank on the bump.




Another high profiled player in the 2020 Vanderbilt class is lefthanded hitting outfielder Christian Smith (2021, Atlanta, Ga.). Smith showed his athleticism and smooth lefthanded stroke at the plate multiple times during the week’s event. Smith has really quick hands to create good bat speed through the hitting zone. Smith has the ability to hit the ball out in front on a line from gap to gap. He did so on multiple occasions during the 17U Round Robin. Smith connected on a rocket line drive up the middle on Tuesday and followed that up on Wednesday with a deep double to the opposite-field gap. Smith also has impressive speed with the ability to track baseballs well in the outfield.

Power hitter Stephen Hrustich (2020, Lilburn, Ga.) had a week to remember at the plate for the East Cobb Astros. His loud barrel did not go unnoticed by any means as he scorched multiple balls to his pull side during the week’s events. Hrustich is a physical 6-foot-2, 210 pounds and has huge raw strength at impact. One of the few uncommitted hitters in the East Cobb Astros lineup, Hrustich drives the baseball when on time to contact and it showed from the 99 mph exit velocity double and 356-foot home run he hit in two separate games at the plate, per Trackman. Hrustich creates leverage from an inner hand path to contact with outstanding juice out in front.




West Virginia commit Tyler Chadwick (2020, Marshall, W.Va.) toed the rubber on Thursday afternoon and showed some of the best overall projection on the mound throughout the event. Chadwick, a highly physical righthander standing at every bit of his 6-foot-5, 195-pound listing, was dominant on the mound and blew hitters away repeatedly with his fastball that sat 90-93 mph early in the contest before settling into the 87-91 mph range. Chadwick pitched off of his fastball and although he ran into some trouble with his command early in his first inning, he settled into the game well and really pitched outstanding. The West Virginia commit finished the afternoon with eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.

The physical righthander throws with such low effort and immense arm strength that there is certainly reason to believe that there is more velocity in his tank moving forward. His arm action is clean and loose while his delivery stays online to the plate and creates good velocity to opposing hitters. The breaking ball he flashed was not shown until his third inning of work, but it is a pitch that has potential already in the mid-70s. He also flashed a changeup that he really did not have to throw given the overpowering fastball in which he produced, but the pitch showed fading action to it in the low-80s. Overall, Chadwick has plenty of projection still remaining and is just scratching the surface of his ultimate ceiling that is very high. Look for Chadwick to have a big year on the summer circuit and turn the heads of plenty of professional decision makers.

Brady Jurgella (2020, Menasha, Wis.) is a quick-twitch athlete who had a nice week at the plate. Jurgella leads off for the GRB Rays and highlights a group that is filled with Division I commits. The lefthanded hitter is still uncommitted and plays the game with high intensity and elite tools. The lefthanded swing is very smooth with outstanding barrel skills and extremely quick hands at the plate. Jurgella plays in the middle infield for GRB and has smooth hands up the middle as well. The 2020 lefthanded hitter had an outstanding week at the plate and with his barrel skills combined with a smooth lefthanded stroke, the ability to play the middle infield at an elite level and get down the line quickly makes him a high-end uncommitted Division I prospect.

-Greg Gerard


Reid Fagerstrom (2020, Sharpsburg, Ga.) pitched well in the first game for UMGA Red. The righthanded pitcher showcased a large 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame while working exclusively out of the stretch and coming set with an open front leg. His mechanics were repeatable with a compact arm from a high three-quarters arm slot. Using his lower half, he got good extension on his fastball moving down the mound on-line. Using a quick pace, he got ahead in counts early and employed an unpredictable pitch arsenal. His fastball averaged 86 mph with some natural cut and topped out at 88 mph. It also appeared as if he featured two different breaking balls, a slider with good side-to-side action around 77 mph and a curveball with downward action around 74 mph. Both pitches were thrown as strikes and swing-and-miss pitches. All told, he threw two scoreless innings with four strikeouts.

Caleb Logerwell (2021, McDonough, Ga.) is a righthanded pitcher with a large 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame and a build featuring strength and athleticism. Pitching out of relief, he threw only 21 pitches during two scoreless innings on the first day of action with two strikeouts and no walks. The righty uses his lower half well and showcases live arm action from a high three-quarters arm slot. The fastball averaged 88 mph but he hit 91 mph. He also used a really good slider with lots of movement that averaged 76 mph. Commanded the zone well and used minimal amounts of pitches. His long flowing hair, live arm action, and confidence intimidates hitters. Based on his projectable frame and current ability, he could be an interesting player moving forward.

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...
