Coastal BBCOR Summer Invitational Notes

Perfect Game Staff
16U PG Coastal BBCOR Summer Invitational Recap

Gabriel Diaz (2027, Charlotte, NC) had a monster day for CBA 2027 National. The 6-2/185 third baseman has a tall, athletic build with present strength and room to fill out. At the plate, Diaz shows a quiet setup with a slightly open stance and relaxed hands. He loads with rhythm and transitions weight well, creating solid leverage. His swing path is direct and efficient with a clean turn through the zone, and the barrel stays on plane for an extended period making the ball jump off the bat, indicating power potential. He finishes tall and balanced, showing good posture through extension. Through 2 games on Saturday Diaz went 4-for-7 at the plate with 3 RBIs. He found barrels consistently throughout the day helping power the offense and driving in runs.

Peyton Priestley (2027, Stokesdale, NC) showed consistency on the bump for the Flying Pigs. The 5-9/145 LHP has a lean, athletic frame and works from a compact, repeatable delivery with good rhythm and balance throughout. He stays tall over the rubber and gets into his backside effectively before driving down the mound. His arm action is clean and quick through a high ¾ slot, helping create some angle to his fastball. He does a solid job of landing online with a firm front side, allowing him to get downhill and repeat his release. His tempo is smooth and controlled, and he keeps his head quiet through release, aiding in command and consistency. His fastball sits low to mid 70s while his off-speed sits low 60s showing a good change of speed and level that had batters fooled. He threw 5 innings on Saturday only allowing 1 ER with 8 strikeouts.



Chance Holdaway (2027, Ramseur, NC) showcased consistency and power for the Carolina Renegades 16u team. The 5-8/160 outfielder had a monster weekend getting on base in every game he played. Holdaway sits in a taller stance with his feet shoulder width apart. He keeps his hands central with a slight move in his body for timing. He has a quick leg lift to time the pitch as it comes and fires his hips through the ball. He uses his lower half perfectly to lead the rest of the body through the ball which allows him to create huge power from his strong lower half. His follow through shows his upper body having major torque and speed through contact, emphasizing his power. Holdaway drove the ball consistently throughout the weekend and highlighted his weekend with a huge home run over the left field wall.

Brody Engle (2026, Randleman, NC) created consistent swings and misses on the mound for the Carolina Renegades 16u team. The 6-0/145 LHP fills out his frame with muscle. He has a unique windup stance starting with his legs far apart. He gets into his motion quick and has a high leg kick to create force going downhill. Engle has a high ¾ arm slot which gives his pitch great downhill speed. His fastball sits upper 70s with his curveball sitting low 70s. Engle’s off-speed pitch has life to it even with the great movement of his pitch. His curveball was consistently starting in the zone and finishing out of it, causing hitters to chase often. Engle was virtually untouchable all day in his start and in which he threw 5.1 innings with 7 strikeouts and only giving up 1 hit.

Nick Soles (2027, Thomasville, NC) had a great weekend at the plate for Carolina Renegades 16u. The 5-10/194 catcher and first baseman played solid in the field and created offense for his team. Soles found the center of the bat many times with pop and power, consistently hitting line drives over the infield. Soles gets into his wide base and utilizes a quick and small step as the pitch is coming. He stays back on the ball allowing his upper body to follow his lower body through the ball and extending through the plate. Soles has speed with his body allowing him to get out in front and drive the ball to left field. On counts with 2 strikes, Soles gets even deeper into his base allowing him to protect the plate, making him less susceptible to striking out. Soles finished his weekend with a handful of hits and RBIs and was a life force for his team which made it to the finals.

Aaron Miller (2027, Greensboro, NC) gave up 0 hits in his outing for Carolina Renegades 16u. The 6-2/165 LHP has a tall and athletic frame that he fills out with muscle. Miller has a super quick motion that allows him to get down the mound with speed and force towards the plate. His arm is quick with his body from a lower ¾ arm angle, and it causes the pitch to snap off of his hand. He follows through all the way down the hill, with the extension leading to a shorter time from hand to mitt. Miller has a fastball that sits mid 70s with and breaking ball that sits mid 60s with great movement. Miller was also a presence at the plate with a hit in the same game he pitched. His athleticism showed at the plate where he played DH the rest of the day and secured several more hits, consistently hitting line drives with serious power. He finished his pitching outing after 5 innings giving up 0 hits with 2 strikeouts leading his team on the way to a combined no hitter.

Jimmy Tamuccio (2028, Charlotte, NC) was a presence in the outfield and at the plate for Dry Pond 16u Gordon. The 5-5/125 centerfielder is athletic with lightning quick speed. Tamuccio has a solid base at the plate and keeps his hands back all the way until the ball come through the plate. As the leadoff hitter he was making solid contact throughout his appearances almost always putting the ball in play. Tamuccio is out of the box in the blink of an eye and beat out several throws from the infield. Whether it was line drives over the infield, which turned into doubles, or ground balls to the left side, which turned into infield singles, Tamuccio found his way on base plenty. In the outfield, Tamuccio tracked down balls with his speed and did not let anything drop in the gap. He had several stolen bases as well allowing him to get into scoring position and secure runs for his team.

Lj Williams (2027, Charlotte, NC) was a presence at the plate for the Lake Norman Thunder. The 6-1/192 centerfielder has an incredibly athletic frame with speed and power to match. Williams stands tall in the box with a high handset and gets low in his base once the pitch is on the way. With a long stride forward, Williams attacks the pitch with his lower body, allowing the hands to travel along that same path. The ball rockets off his barrel and he is already out of the box as soon as the ball is hit. His speed translates to base running and in the outfield where he was making diving efforts and getting to balls in no man’s land. He finished his last game 2-for-2 at the plate with 2 RBIs and one of those hits being a triple. He had a stolen base and scored a run creating the offensive spark for his team.

Cade McCallum (2027, Staley, NC) was a monster on the mound and at the plate for the Carolina Renegades 16u in their semifinal matchup. The 5-11/155 utility guy got the start on the bump throwing 5 innings and securing a win. The RHP has an aggressive leg kick which generate power though his back leg towards the plate. McCallum has great balance and keeps his chest pointed towards the plate throughout his motion keeping every part of his body moving online towards his target. He throws from a high ¾ slot with zip out of his hand averaging high 70s on his fastball and high 60s on his breaking ball. McCallum threw 80 pitches and maintained his velocity and strike consistency throwing 55 strikes and 4 strikeouts. At the plate, McCallum went 3-for-4 with an RBI and showcased his power by using the same balance and direction he had on the mound.

17u PG Coastal BBCOR Summer Invitational Recap

Camdyn Hargett (2027 | Waxhaw, NC)

Hargett was locked in all day for Crusaders National, going 5‑for‑6 across two games with a double, triple, RBI, two runs, and a stolen base. He shows a smooth, controlled swing with advanced feel for the barrel, consistently driving the ball to the middle of the field and punishing pitches he can handle. At 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, there’s already strength in the frame with more to come, and he’s shown loud contact to all fields, including a deep triple to the opposite-field gap. Hargett demonstrates mature pitch selection and impact bat speed, rarely missing when he connects. On the bases, his heads-up instincts help him create pressure. A steady, high-IQ hitter with strong upside. Definitely a bat to watch in the 2027 class.

Giovanni Buccino (2027 | Clemmons, NC)

Buccino put together a strong day at the plate, going 2-for-3 across two games with a double, RBI, two runs scored, and an HBP. He brings a big frame and physical presence to the box with a short, direct swing and a knack for barreling balls to all parts of the field. At 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, there’s serious strength in the frame, and he uses it well to drive the ball with authority. Buccino doesn’t try to do too much; he stays simple and lets his size and bat speed work, showing mature takes and a middle-of-the-order profile. A powerful corner bat with plenty of upside as he continues to refine his game.

Will Oehler (2026 | Union Grove, NC)

Oehler turned in a strong all-around performance across two games, going 3-for-5 with three doubles, 3 RBIs, a run scored, and a stolen base. At 6-foot, 190 pounds, he brings strength to both sides of the ball with a compact, aggressive swing that produces loud gap-to-gap contact. He sat on a breaking ball and ripped it down the left-field line for a clutch two-RBI double. Behind the plate, Oehler is a lockdown catcher who earns his pitcher’s trust to bounce breaking balls with runners on. He also shows smooth actions and a sure glove at third base. With his toughness, feel for the game, and impact bat, Oehler is a name to follow closely in the 2026 class.

Braden Greene (2026 | Charlotte, NC)

Greene was in full control on the mound for Arena National 2026, tossing 6.2 scoreless innings while allowing just 5 hits, striking out 8, and issuing no walks. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, he uses a strong, projectable frame to repeat a clean delivery and fill the zone (72% strikes). The fastball sat 81-84 mph with good arm-side run, and he mixed in a sharp slider (75-79 mph) and a deceptive changeup (76-79 mph) to keep hitters off balance. Shows the ability to command all three pitches and expand the zone when needed. Pure competitor with a polished arsenal and mound presence, highly impressive outing.

Liam Hawkes (2026 | Bahama, NC)

Hawkes impressed for Wow Factor Carolina 17U National, striking out 7 batters over 3 innings with a sharp, devastating slider and a fastball he could locate on both sides of the plate. He can spin that slider in any count, using it as a true weapon to keep hitters guessing. At 6-foot, 185 pounds, he shows great command and poise on the mound, mixing his pitches effectively to keep hitters off balance. He gave up just 3 hits and 1 run while issuing 3 walks, showing plenty of upside as he continues to develop. A solid arm to watch closely!

Cooper Gornet (2026 | Charlotte, NC)

Cooper Gornet was a true force for Wow Factor Carolina 17U National, proving why he’s an UNCW commit with a powerful and consistent showing all day. At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, he aggressively hunts elevated pitches and rarely misses, turning them into hard contact thanks to his athletic frame, fluid swing, and quick hands. Gornet’s approach at the plate is confident and controlled, with a knack for driving the ball to all parts of the field. His quick bat speed and solid mechanics give him plenty of upside as he continues to refine his game. Over 3 games, he went 5-for-10 with 3 doubles, 4 RBIs, and a walk, consistently producing in clutch situations. Defensively, his athleticism and instincts make him a reliable presence, rounding out his value as a top prospect with a bright future ahead.

Evan Howard (2027 | Charlotte, NC)

Evan Howard turned in an elite two-way performance for 5 Star Carolina 16U National in the 17U PG Coastal BBCOR Summer Invitational Championship. At 6-foot-2 and 197 pounds, he showed a simple, powerful swing that stays inside the baseball, driving pitches to the middle and the other way with backside power to right field. Howard finished the game 3-for-4 with a double and 2 RBIs, consistently making quality contact. On the mound, he pitched 3 solid innings in relief using a polished four-pitch mix consisting of a fastball, slider, curveball, and changeup to keep hitters off balance. He recorded 4 strikeouts, allowed just 1 earned run, and showed promising command despite a few walks. His fastball touched 88 mph, and his secondary pitches showed advanced movement for his age. Big things are ahead for this 2026 grad, with strong two-way tools that set him apart.

Walker Thomason (2027 | Rock Hill, SC)

Thomason delivered a strong two-way effort in the championship game for 5 Star Carolina 16U National. At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, he showed a solid, athletic frame that adds to his presence on the field. He started on the mound and went 3.1 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 runs (2 earned), and striking out 3 while issuing 7 walks. Despite some control struggles, he mixed a fastball averaging 83 mph with a curveball and slider that showed good movement, keeping hitters off balance during his 69-pitch outing. At the plate, Thomason was a key contributor, going 2-for-4 with a double, 2 RBIs, and scoring 2 runs. His ability to impact the game on the mound and at the plate makes him a versatile player to watch as he continues to develop.

Davis Ottaly (2026 | Holly Springs, NC)

Ottaly had a great day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two doubles, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a walk. Though smaller in size at 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, he plays with a lot of confidence and speed. He uses his quickness to pressure defenses and create chances to score. Davis shows strong bat-to-ball skills and knows how to find gaps to get on base consistently. His smart base running helps him take extra bases and score in big moments. On defense, he’s quick and reliable, with good instincts that help his team. With hard work and a good baseball IQ, Davis has a lot of potential and will keep improving with A2K National.

Jayden Brown (2026 | Great Falls, SC)

Brown threw a complete game for the South Charlotte Panthers, going all 7 innings while allowing just 3 hits and 1 earned run. At 5-foot-11 and 212 pounds, Brown used a smart mix of fastball, changeup, and curveball to strike out 6 batters and walk 5 over 104 pitches. He won’t blow hitters away with velocity but relies on mixing pitches and forcing weak contact to keep hitters off balance. His solid frame helps maintain durability and command, making him an arm to watch as he develops. Brown’s poise on the mound and ability to work deep into games show a maturity beyond his years, giving him the potential to be a reliable pitcher at the next level.

Roman Keister (2030, Dade City, FL) Could not miss the barrel this weekend tallying 6 hits including 2 triples and 4 RBI. Starts the load early and controls his body well, the up the middle approach really plays in game. Also worked from off the mound for an inning and picked up a punch out.  Colton Russo (2030, Coral Springs, FL) Showed off the power burning outfielders all weekend. 5 hits including two triples that carried over the CF and RF heads. Has a good understanding about using the lower half in the swing and the bat to ball skills really impressed.  Karson Blakney (2030, St. Augustine, FL) Made his impact in a big way this week, collecting the win in the quarterfinals.

College Players of the Week: April 7

April 7th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF  The UCF Knights (20-9) are coming off one of their biggest series victories in years when they went to Morgantown and took down the Mountaineers to take control of the Big 12 regular season standings.  The offense put on quite the performance and Andrew Williamson set the tone by leaving the yard in his first at-bat of the weekend launching a towering home run over the centerfield wall.  The 6-0/195 lefty from St. Petersburg, FL has one of the sweetest strokes in the college game today and when he goes, so do the Knights.  In the 3-game series, the junior collected 6 hits in his 10 at-bats, scoring 6 runs, on 5 walks, a double and he launched 3 home runs all told.  While he had a stretch earlier in the season where he was searching for his stroke a bit, he is getting locked in at the...

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside.  Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad.  The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll.  The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend.  Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
