National Select Scout Notes: Days 4-5

Isaiah Burrows
Geoff Billock
National Select Scout Notes: Days 1-3

Samuel Kennedy (2027, Shavano Park, Texas) can flat out hit. He’s a strong-bodied middle infielder with some real bat-to-ball skill from the left side. He went gap-to-gap in the semis and is more than willing to take an outer-half offering right where it’s given. He’s a solid defender up the middle and showed an adjustable arm slot at short, and the contact skill can really project in the class.

Luke Cody (2027, Lumberton, Texas) went off in the semis and championship after already hitting a good bit throughout the week. He pulled a ball into the parking lot in left, a few rows deep which is quite noteworthy. He really leans in on mistakes and doesn’t get cheated, combined with some solid athleticism out in center. His ability was on full display this week. 



Broc Burns (2026, Keller, Texas) closed things out showing a real live arm that flirted into the low-90s and jumped out of the hand. He lived 86-88 mph and has a real loose arm with some feel for a mid-70s slider. A very mobile mover and quality athlete, Burns comes equipped with some big upside on the bump. 

Keep a close eye on Lucas Herron (2026, Cypress, Texas) as the stuff doesn’t jump up but the unique release height really stands out. He’s a super lanky lefty with a good 25-30 pounds left in store throwing from an awfully low three-quarter slot with a fastball in the high-70s and some feel for a two-plane breaking ball. He needs strength to really show but the ingredients can really pop. 

Caligan Isley (2027, Boerne, Texas) a really good athlete who sprayed the barrel all weekend. He can play up the middle and fit several roles, from second base or short to a look in center field potentially. He has a real solid contact skill with a short swing that is geared for pull and plenty of hand speed. The traits here are big and he stood out. 

-Isaiah Burrows
 

David Djurisic (2027, Spring, Texas) showed well on both sides of the ball all throughout the week. A workhorse behind the dish, has the athleticism and frame to stick there but can play all over. He can really catch and throw from a quick transfer and release. Good hands back there and certainly looks the part. At the plate, Djurisic went nuclear going 6-13 on the week and power showed up big time. He went yard twice, one of them coming in a big moment during the playoffs that gave his team the lead late in the game. It’s a compact and physical frame that has gotten stronger throughout the year and it is quite evident. He is starting to really get into balls now and can turn on them with authority. Power is showing up in game and the swing gets a ton of separation allowing him to impact with ease. Should be a name to key in on this summer and will be busy once August rolls around.  

Luke Williams (2026, New Braunfels, Texas) was dominant throughout his outing and filled it up as he went the distance tossing a complete game shutout across 7 frames. He struck out 9 batters and only allowed 2 walks and 2 hits. Lean and athletic 6-foot-6 frame high waisted with long limbs and room to fill out. Fastball worked in the 82-87 range with good life to it. He can sink it low in the zone but also showed good carry to it when elevated. Went to a change often as his best secondary in the 76-78 range and really sells it with big time drop. Comes out of the hand easy and mimics. Curve flashed at 67-68 but will need more polish as he tends to overthrow it at times. Expect an uptick in velo as he continues to fill out. The frame has a big amount of projection remaining and overall arm action works well. No reason for Williams to remain uncommitted as we kick off the summer circuit.  


Blake Bader (2027, San Antonio, Texas) was a big standout all throughout the week and took home MVP honors of the tournament. He finished the event going 8-16 that included 3 no-doubters all to the pull-side. He was an absolute barrel machine and really turned it on in the playoffs when it mattered the most. Corner outfield type guy with a strong arm from an athletic 5-foot-11 frame. Power plays to the pull-side mainly but has ability to go with it the other way. Uses a weight rock back and stride into contact from an uphill swing path that looks to launch balls with impact. He always seemed to be on the barrel and don’t see it slowing down at all. Bader is in for a big summer and should be a name to keep tabs on all throughout.    

Jackson Marshall (2026, Montgomery, Texas) off to a hot start this summer to open up. He went 8-14 on the week with 4 walks and 8 stolen bases batting atop the order. Marshall stands in at 6-foot-0 from an uber athletic frame. He has tools that play well to his strengths and knows how to use them. He works the count and always seems to be on base whether that be via walk or base-hit. He has the swing to spray it all over line to line and can leg out the infield hit every now and then. Instincts on the bases stand out as well as in the outfield. He gets excellent reads out there roaming centerfield as good as anyone. The bat to ball ability has looked good and really is starting to turn the corner on that end. He should be a big follow this summer.  

Colby Clinkscales (2025, Buffalo Gap, Texas) had a really good week going 4-10 with 8 walks. Came away impressed with his overall approach and plate discipline batting atop the order. He works the count and will get on base from a short lefty swing that works line to line spraying it all over. Contact approach and bat to ball stood out. Athletic 5-foot-11 frame and can fill out more. Looked good out at short with fluid actions and moves well. Clinkscales is currently committed to Ranger College.  

Brady Moore (2026, Flower Mound, Texas) had a solid week on both sides of the ball for Dallas Tigers. He went 4-12 with a double and homerun. Moore stands in at 6-foot-0 from a lean and athletic frame. He manned centerfield and did it well. Has the instincts and speed to play anywhere in the outfield. In the box, it’s a simplified process in which he rocks the weight back taking a small stride into contact. Ability to leverage and catch the ball out front stood out. Impact is clearly there when he is on it. His swing works well to the pull-side with power especially. Swing path is generally short and direct to the ball which helps with his ability to be on the barrel consistently. Moore is currently uncommitted and should be a high follow this summer.  

Jonnell Rodriguez (2027, Spring, Texas) is another lead-off type profile who didn’t necessarily have the loudest week when looking at the box score, but certainly stood out. The plate discipline continues to impress paired with his bat to ball ability, should keep him atop the order in any lineup. He has above average speed and causes havoc on the base-paths. He doesn’t chase and swing and miss is simply put, not part of his game. He was on the barrel with not much to show for it but still got on base plenty. Watching his at-bats, you can tell that he has a sound approach and knows his role in the lineup. Always looking to get on base and take the extra bag. He will get good jumps and reads off pitchers allowing him to consistently steal bags with ease. He manufactured runs a bunch and just sets his team up to win in a positive way. Rodriguez is a ballplayer with baseball instincts all around and should be picking up plenty of steam come August.  

Troy Gonzalez (2027, Pasadena, Texas) had a loud week with the bat and turned it on in the playoffs when it mattered most. He finished the week going 5-14 with 4 doubles. Gonzalez has a compact and physical frame and the power to pull-side is very real. He can turn on anything with the utmost authority. Ability to stay on the barrel and get on plane when he gets his pitch stood out. His at-bats got better as the week went on and once he got his timing down it was game over for the other team. He can impact the game strongly with his bat and it’s only a matter of time until those doubles start carrying over the fence. Power certainly projects here.

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

Colton Floyd (‘27,AZ) just misses a HR here. Can really impact the baseball & shows over the fence power potential. Took 3 QAB’s today. He’s the #1 ranked 3B in the state and #4 in the country. #MDWest https://t.co/ReMh7D0v4y pic.twitter.com/w1dzssSy8N — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) May 23, 2026 Colton Floyd, 3B, Chandler, AZ. Canes West National (2027) Floyd is a high-upside prospect with physical tools and burgeoning power. His combination of size, bat speed, and raw strength makes him one of the top power-hitting third basemen in the country. Currently ranked the #1 third baseman in Arizona and #4 nationally in his class. With continued refinement of his approach and defensive consistency, he has all the ingredients to be a middle-of-the-order bat at Texas A&M and a legitimate MLB Draft prospect JJ Utash (‘27,AZ) with a triple here....

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

Ron Wolforth

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas  As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

Best of the Best Event Preview

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week:  Carson Tinney, C, Texas  The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week.  To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney.  The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year.  In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told.  With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...

College Top 25: May 18

The regular season is behind us, and it is now tournament time and wow, is there a lot to still be decided.  We are a week away from the Field of 64 being announced and hosting opportunities, at-large bids, as well as automatic bids are there for the taking.  The UCLA Bruins (48-6) continue their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the land, finishing the regular season without losing a series all year.  ACC powers, UNC (43-10) and Georgia Tech (45-9) remain at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively and SEC regular season champs, the Georgia Bulldogs (43-12) stick at No. 4.  After that there was a small amount of shuffling within the Top 10 with No. 5 Texas (40-12), No. 6 West Virginia (37-13) and No. 7 FSU (38-16) moving ahead of now No. 8 Auburn (36-18) after they were the only team in this group to drop their weekend series.   No. 14 Florida (37-18) and No. 15...
