16u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1

MVP Beast 2023 National stayed hot this morning in Alpharetta, picking up an 8-1 victory over a talented Wow Factor Patriots National Squad. Uncommitted George Trimigliozzi (2023, Islip, N.Y.) led the way offensively, as he doubled twice in three at-bats for the Commack, N.Y.-based squad. Trimigliozzi implores a simple setup at the plate with good pitch recognition and quickness to his hands, seemingly finding the barrel every time he makes a move on the baseball. The compact framed 2023 uses his strong lower half to produce a good weight shift into contact, torquing extremely well to turn the barrel. He stays compact with his stroke and delivers the barrel with authority on a consistent basis. The Islip, N.Y. native uses the whole field well, while displaying legitimate gap-to-gap power potential with the ability to carry them when squared. In the field, Trimigliozzi is versatile defender with the ability to play both corner spots in the infield, while also playing some outfield at times. There is some two-way potential as well, as he has run his fastball up to 84 mph in previous looks and displayed some feel for spin. Ultimately, the bat is his carrying tool and will continue to be a force within the Beast lineup as their run at the 16U WWBA goes on. Trimigliozzi should garner plenty of upcoming interest from college coaches, as he continues to perform on both sides of the ball.





Justin Leguernic (2023, Dix Hills, N.Y.) was an interesting uncommitted arm for Beast, as he came out of the ‘pen in this one. The long, lanky left-hander has nice projection within his frame with square shoulders, long levers and plenty of room to add strength. He worked two scoreless innings despite some early command issues, running his fastball up to 86 mph with natural arm-side life from an extended three-quarters arm slot. Luguernic has some deception within his delivery, as he releases slightly cross-body and comes at hitters with some moving parts. The arm stroke is fairly clean on the backside and has plenty of present arm speed. He mixed in a sweeping breaking ball that he was able to land for strikes, as it flashes best when throw with conviction and out in front. The Dix Hills, N.Y. native should continue to add more strength as he matures and really could see an uptick in velocity and command as he refines his mechanics. The overall projection, velocity upside and feel for spin should garner plenty of interest from college coaches as he continues to improve.
