13u/14u WWBA West Scout Notes: Day 1-2

Tyler Henninger
Joey Cohen

Jake Turner (2027, Las Vegas, NV) showcased loud two-way ability on day two. The TCU commit struck out ten hitters across 4 2/3 innings of work and produced an RBI double at the plate. On the mound, the fastball showed the ability to overwhelm hitters. Turner ran the offering up to 91 mph, sitting 85-88 mph most of the outing. Quality feel for a curveball at 67-69 mph was shown. Turner was not afraid to throw it early in counts and flashed the ability to put hitters away with it. The pitch mix should only continue to get better as the mechanics throughout the delivery are refined. It is a high ceiling on the mound with massive upside if it all clicks. The power potential at the plate is just as impressive. Quick hands create advanced bat speed through the zone. There is feel for the barrel present using a lofted path that gets the ball in the air regularly. The power plays to all fields and should only continue to develop as Turner’s tall, lanky frame fills out. It is yet to be seen if Turner winds up as an arm or bat, but loud tools on both sides of the ball make an intriguing case for both. 

Erick Jimenez (2027, Peoria, AZ) took the hill on day two and showed intriguing stuff despite shaky results. The righthander ran the fastball up to 83 mph, sitting 79-82 mph for most of the day. A downhill plane allows the offering to work well at the bottom of the zone. More velocity should continue to be added as a tall, slender frame fills out. Feel for a curveball at 64-67 mph was shown. Jimenez was not afraid to throw it early in counts and showed the ability to land it regularly. Continuing to refine the command should help take the profile to the next level, but there are intriguing components already present. 



Logan Mull (2027, San Jose, CA) has shown intriguing two-way potential across the first two days, including a quality start on the mound on day two. The righthander struck out five hitters across three innings of work. The fastball got up to 80 mph, sitting 77-79 mph for a majority of the outing. The offering showed the ability to generate whiffs when in the zone. A curveball at 67-69 mph was flashed. Confidence and consistent feel for the offering is still being developed. At the plate, Mull showcased quick hands that create good bat speed through the zone. The bat head can get out front and drive balls with authority to the pullside. There is some sneaky power present that should only continue to develop. Mull is an intriguing young player with tools already present. 
 

Blake Gonzales (2027, Casa Grande, AZ) has put together a strong start to the event, including a 2-hit, 3-RBI performance on day two. Gonzales shows good intent at the plate and looks to do damage regularly. Advanced bat speed and feel for the barrel results in hard hit contact regularly. It combines with a strong frame to produce solid gap to gap power presently. Gonzales continues to show impressive run-producing ability that gives him the potential to hit in the middle of the order long term. It is an interesting offensive profile that will warrant attention going forward. 

Ayden McGinnis (2027, Phoenix, AZ) took the mound against a tough GBG Vegas squad and did not shy away. The young lefthander did not allow an earned run and struck out five hitters across 4.2 innings of work. The fastball got up to 84 mph, sitting 79-81 mph throughout the outing. The offering shows life through the zone and can miss bats fairly often. A tight, low-70’s slider pairs well off of the heater and adds another potential swing and miss pitch. Refining the command of both offerings could take the profile to new heights. McGinnis has the present stuff and projectability to be a highly sought after arm in the next couple of years. 

Soren Swing (2027, Park City, UT) put together one of the louder performances of the day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a double and four RBI. Loose hands create good bat speed through the zone. A lofted path helps drive balls in the air consistently, especially to the pullside. It all combines with good feel for the barrel, resulting in hard hit contact often. There is sneaky pullside power present that should only continue to develop. Swing shows quality traits at the plate presently with room and time to grow. It is a potential bat to keep eyes on.

Alexander Molina (‘27, Calif) collected three hits in his first game against Iron Baseball club and added another yesterday against AZ- T-Rex. The CBA Victus San Diego centerfielder stands out at the plate with his noticeable hand speed which allows him to throw and turn a quick barrel through for more out-front impact. He stays grounded into his legs with minimal lower half weight shift which keeps him balanced and the swing is short and compact allowing him to easily find barrel. It looks like a quality top of the order bat-to-ball profile that'll translate immediately to HS baseball. Out in centerfield he has shown well in tracking down fly balls and has also exhibited present athleticism on the bases as well.  


Jayden Harris (‘28, Calif) is one of the more physical and athletic ‘28 grads our scouting staff has seen this summer. The two-sport athlete has swung the bat well to start the tourney. I saw him collect two hits against Iron Baseball Club where he showed noticeable hand strength that allows him to throw a fast barrel through the zone on a flatter path. There’s minimal overall movement to his load with his lower half and bat which just allows his hands to do most of the work. His first hit of the day was a line drive he muscled into center when he was a tad late but pounded a double into the left center gap in his second at-bat flashing some already present power. He will be an exciting player to follow for the next few years as the skill starts to catch up to some advanced athleticism. 

Tyler Koski (’27, MA) has had one of the hottest starts to this tournament, currently 5-for-5 through two games which included three doubles. I took in his three-hit game on Friday where he pounded a line drive into the right-center gap and followed it up with two pullside line drives. Koski has loose hands that create bat lag and quality depth through the zone allowing him to be on-barrel when late or early. There’s also some present bat speed and whip to the swing as he rotates fast through it. He keeps it all simple with his lower half using a quiet toe tap trigger. With how exceptional the bat has performed I’m interested to see how he finishes off the tourney defensively as he plays shortstop for NB select. 

Daxton Davis (‘27, UT). I took in a three-hit game from Davis on Friday which included two doubles and a triple. Davis stands a tall and lean 6-foot-1, 150 pounds and hits cleanup for MBA Green. He has a relaxed presence in the box where he uses a leg lift trigger that works early and with some natural rhythm with his hands. His barrel loads into a flatter early connection position at launch allowing the bat to work level through the zone. There’s above average bat speed there which translated into some present power and it showed with his two long drives over the centerfielder’s head. Davis also jumped on the mound on Friday and threw two shutout relief innings where he ran his fastball into the mid 70s. 

Tyler Tokuda (‘28, HI) has had back-to-back two hit games for Hawaii Elite thus far. In his swing, he exhibits a lot of advanced qualities for a ‘28 grad. He looks athletic and hitterish in the box. He uses a toe tap trigger which creates some rhythm, and he can really whip the barrel through with intent to catch it out front. What also stood out was how fast he rotates through the swing showing that there’s some power to be tapped into down the line. Defensively, he exhibited solid skill behind the plate with his receiving where he keeps a real quiet body while catching it firmly with minimal body movement. On Friday, he also jumped on the mound for two quick shutout innings running his fastball up to 73.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

Blaine Peterson

This week brings a new top team to the rankings as Johnson County (KS), on the strength of 10 consecutive wins and a 26-2 record, claims the overall number 1 spot. The Cavaliers have made 3 consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series and have the talent to make it back there again this spring. Florida Southwestern and Chipola have seemingly separated themselves as the most consistent teams in Florida. Welcome to the top 5 to the Gaston Rhinos who will be one of the first teams to 30 wins this spring. Pearl River stays as the top NJCAA D2 team and Fresno City stays as the top Juco team in California; both are coming off undefeated 2 week stretches. Welcome back to the top 25 to John A. Logan who is now 20-7 overall and have played one of the toughest schedules of anyone. And for the first time in several years welcome to the top 25 to the College of Southern Idaho, the Golden Eagles have...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

High School Top 50 Update: March 17

Tyler Russo
Article Image
We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...

College Players of the Week: March 17

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

College Top 25: March 16

Collegiate Player Report Database As each week of the college baseball season passes, we continue to be entertained at an incredible level with high level drama at every turn.  Conference play is under way and the national landscape is starting to make a bit more sense.  The development and strength of individual players is on full-display and there continue to be upsets on occasion that sends the message no team can relax for one moment.  For the most part, the Top 10 remains unchanged with some reshuffling as No. 1 UCLA (17-2) holds on to the top spot with yet another perfect (4-0) week after sweeping Michigan.  The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) did drop their first game of the season in Game 1 of SEC play but won the series against Ole Miss and finished the week with a (3-1) record.  The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (17-3) passed their first real road test of the...

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...
