15u/16u World Series Scout Notes: July 26

McClain Ray (2022 MS) was literally unhittable this morning as he tossed a no-hitter! Projectable frame, quick arm, sinks the fastball mostly 86-89/90, sharp breaker too. #PGWS pic.twitter.com/cazGoUsuXq

From a statistical standpoint, the start of the day might have come from McClain Ray (2022, Belden, MS) as the Mississippi State commit tossed a no-hitter during the first slot of the day over on the A quad. Ray was excellent, mixing his pitches successfully and coming right at hitters with a lively fastball that worked mostly in the 86-90 mph range. He’s got excellent size on the mound at a listed 6-4, 195 pound build with a smooth, athletic delivery to go along with above average arm speed as he fires from a three-quarters arm slot. Ray sinks the ball well and generates a good amount of life upon release as he lived in the bottom of the strike zone to induce weak contact effectively. Obviously there was a ton of weak contact as Ray really didn’t make for comfortable at-bats with the opposition; the command wasn’t pinpoint as there were five walks but the stuff itself is very hard to pick up. Ray has the makings of a true swing-and-miss breaking ball with a slider in the upper 70's that shows good biting action along with a changeup that has the makings of a quality pitch. Ray has the complete repertoire to project upon moving forward as, from a stuff perspective, he had as good of a mix as anyone on Sunday.

Class of 2028 Tourney All-American Team
It’s to no surprise that these teams are chalked full of talented young prospects as many of the players ranked in the Top 100 of this class fill up both sets of Tournament All-American teams, but there are many individuals on these lists that aren’t yet ranked and performed at a level this year that is recognized.

Class of 2029 Tourney All-American Team
We'll open up by saying this; putting together these two teams wasn't an easy task and we could've easily filled another 2 teams without breaking a sweat. There's a mix of Festivalers from last year's 13u game, top 100 ranked players and others who put together spectacular 2024 campaigns and are more than deserving of this recognition.
