WWBA West Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Tyler Henninger
Steve Doherty

Gabriel Sabilona (2026, Centerhill, FL) had a monster showing on day two, collecting an astounding six hits with a pair of triples and seven runs driven in. The uncommitted infielder features a lean frame with quality strength throughout. A simple operation is shown at the plate, using a heel raise timing mechanism into a clean path through the zone. Sabilona controls the barrel extremely well and can get to tough pitches. A sound approach allows for hard contact to be sprayed to all fields. There is some power present with more likely to come down the line. 

Isaac Valencia (2026, Buckeye,  AZ) put together a multi-hit game on day two and has collected three hits over the first two days of action. The uncommitted outfielder features a lean, athletic build with plenty of strength present. At the plate, a fluid left-handed swing consistently finds the barrel. There is plenty of strength at contact and good length out front. Valencia has run-producing traits that allow him to profile well in the middle of the order. 




Logan Grubbs (2027, Las Vegas, NV) drove in six runs and collected a pair of extra base hits on day two, including a loud home run to the pull side. The left-handed hitting outfielder features a projectable, high-waisted frame with some strength at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. In the box, Grubbs gathers well on the backside before firing the barrel with intent. Leverage gets created and allows for strong impact at contact. The power plays well to the pull side and should only continue to develop as the frame fills out further. 

Keyen Marquez (2027, Carefree, AZ). reached base multiple times and put together quality at-bats consistently. The uncommitted outfielder features a compact build with plenty of strength present. Marquez shows a balanced operation from the left side with some rhythm to the swing. A direct path to contact features quality hand speed, allowing for impact off the barrel. It is an intriguing skill set overall with some run-producing traits. 

Connor Chapa (2027, Phoenix, AZ) put together a strong day at the plate on day two, collecting a pair of hits with a double to the pull side gap. Chapa features a lean 6-foot-0, 185-pound frame with plenty of athleticism present. A simple operation at the plate gathers well on the backside. A clean path to contact controls the barrel well. Chapa is consistently on the barrel and produces hard contact often. There are intriguing offensive skills present with a history of performing. 

Brent Sollars (2026, Phoenix, AZ) has reached base five times over the first two days of action. The uncommitted outfielder features a lean build with a mix of athleticism and strength present. A simple operation stays balanced at the plate. There is some hand speed present on a direct path to contact. Sollars continues to add strength, allowing for some impact off the barrel. A patient approach also allows Sollars to work deep into counts and draw walks at a high rate. On the bases, Sollars has also stolen a pair of bases. It is a well-rounded offensive skill that can impact games in a multitude of ways.

Carson Lockman, RHP, Lake Havasu City, AZ. Marucci Athletics Thomas (2026)
Presents a projectable frame at 6'5", 220 pounds, with a build that suggests significant room for further physical development. His tall, broad-shouldered physique is ideal for a pitcher, offering a foundation for increased velocity as he matures. Lockman's delivery is characterized by a smooth, repeatable motion that generates a good downward plane on his pitches. His arm action is clean, and he maintains good balance throughout his delivery, which contributes to his ability to command the strike zone effectively. Posted a 5-inning performance where he allowed 3 hits, 4 walks, and struck out 8 batters on 82 pitches.


Hunter Iverson, SS/RHP, Las Vegas, NV. Wow Factor, NV (2026)
Showcased a polished pitching repertoire with his fastball touching 89 mph. Iverson's ability to mix in a curveball and slider was particularly noteworthy, with the slider proving to be a dominant pitch, often resulting in swing and miss outcomes. His curveball, while slightly less frequent, complemented his arsenal effectively, adding depth to his pitch selection. Over 6 innings, Iverson allowed only 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 8 batters. Iverson's combination of velocity, pitch variety, and command makes him a player to watch closely as he progresses through his high school career.


Devin Martin, SS, Las Vegas, NV. Wow Factor, NV (2026)
Demonstrates a promising offensive profile, highlighted by his ability to square up pitches effectively, as evidenced by his hard-hit single. His 1-for-2 performance at the plate suggests a solid contact rate and the potential for consistent production. Martin's athleticism and tools indicate he could develop into a reliable hitter with further refinement of his approach and swing mechanics.


Keona Barraza, C/RHP, Honolulu, HI. Pono Baseball (2029)
Showcased his potential as a pitcher. His performance in relief was particularly notable, contributing to a combined no-hitter by working 3.1 innings, allowing no hits, and striking out 7 batters. Barraza's ability to make 86 mph look effortless with an athletic delivery suggests a promising future in baseball. As he continues to develop, Barraza could become a significant asset for his high school team and beyond, with the possibility of excelling as either a reliever or starter.


Cayden Hammond, RHP/1B, Gilbert, AZ. Swarm Red Elite National (2026)
A promising talent with a strong offensive profile, particularly his power tool. Hammond's swing mechanics are efficient, with a balanced stance and quick bat speed that allow him to generate significant barrel whip. His hand-eye coordination is evident, as he consistently makes solid contact, driving the ball with authority to the outfield. Continued development in his defensive skills and overall game will be key to his success at the collegiate level and beyond. He’s committed to BYU.


Blake Ramos, 3B, Vista, CA. CBA Victus San Diego (2029)
Ramos showcases an impressive power stroke for his age, as evidenced by this no-doubt homerun. His ability to generate significant bat speed and loft suggests a natural aptitude for hitting for power, a rare trait among players so young. Ramos's swing mechanics appear fluid, with a clear understanding of how to leverage his body to maximize contact and distance. This power potential is particularly notable, where such displays are often precursors to future success at higher levels.
 

Jackson McAneeley, C, Kailua, HI. Pono Baseball (2029)
Has a promising offensive skill set that belies his age. His ability to generate significant power is evident, where he short-hopped the left-center field wall for a triple, demonstrating both intent and over the fence power potential.  McAneeley's swing mechanics are fluid, with a noticeable intent to drive the ball, which is crucial for a catcher who must contribute offensively. His physical stature and athleticism suggest a high ceiling for power development as he matures.


Jaxon Kalish, C, Los Angeles, CA. West Coast Red Sox (2029)
Stands at 6'2" and weighs 180 lbs. Ranked as the #8 catcher in the state of Hawaii. He demonstrates a powerful hitting approach and solid defensive skills behind the dish. Kalish’s stand-up triple underscores his bat speed and contact quality. His approach at the plate appears disciplined, with a keen eye for the strike zone. Kalish’s performance highlights his potential as a top-tier prospect with a projectable frame that could translate well to the high school and collegiate levels. 

-Steve Doherty


Cooper Shrum (2026, Belton, MO) possesses an explosive swing and a highly productive bat. The 6-foot-6 left-handed hitter consistently drives the ball to all fields with power. One of the strongest hitters I’ve seen in this WWBA West tournament, Shrum has recorded at least one extra-base hit per game, including a crushed solo home run on Day 2. He shows smooth bat extension without over swinging, with a clean swing path and optimal launch angle. His clear approach at the plate allows him to remain consistent and dangerous in every at-bat. A true nightmare for opposing pitchers, he can hit high velocity and well-located breaking balls with confidence. 

Ben Graves (2026, Lawrence, KS) has delivered a consistent performance both at shortstop and at the plate. He shows excellent plate discipline with a low whiff rate, rarely chasing or missing pitches. Graves tends to make contact on pitches close to the zone, producing line drives and consistently finding gaps through the infield into the outfield. An athletic player and high on-base percentage contributor, he fits well to bat at 2nd for the Royal Scout Team 2026. Defensively, he has a fringe glove with quick footwork and solid reactions on ground balls, paired with good arm accuracy across the diamond. Currently ranked the No. 5 shortstop in the state of Kansas.

Brayden Davidson (2026, Liberty, MO) had a tremendous Day 1 outing, tossing three scoreless, no-hit innings with five strikeouts. He sat 84-88 mph with his fastball, touching 89, and paired it with a high-quality 69-76 mph curveball that generated plenty of swings and misses. Davidson tunnels both pitches well, with the breaking ball showing late movement close to the plate. He demonstrated strong command, consistently locating on the edges of the strike zone. With a loose, clean arm action and strong hip-shoulder separation, he shows mechanics built for durability and long-term development. There’s significant upside here, Davidson already flashes advanced feel for spin and has plenty of room to refine his mechanics and expand his arsenal. A high ceiling arm with real breaking ball talent at the next level.


Troy Fisher (2026, Liberty, MO) struck out four batters over three innings without allowing an earned run. He sat 85–88 mph with his fastball, topping out at 89 mph, showing high spin rates and late life. Fisher also featured a sharp, low-angle slider with a high whiff rate, making him a strong starter in his Day 2 outing. The 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher and shortstop displays explosive power on both sides of the game. He attacks hitters with a quick tempo and confident rhythm, effectively mixing his arsenal to keep them off balance. Defensively, Fisher shows athleticism and arm strength, with steady fielding ability and strong instincts that help limit baserunners. A definite high-follow prospect, above average two-way player in this tournament.

Nic Sabers (2026, Lenexa, KS) showcased his power at the plate during his Day 1 outing, going 2-for-2 with a double and posting the highest OPS (1.667) on the Royals Scout Team 2026. A 6-foot-4, strong right-handed slugger, Sabers has serious potential to continue growing into his frame and adding even more power. He generates loud contact with a quick bat, using efficient mechanics, coordinating quick hands, lower-half torque, and timing with his stride. His advanced contact skills and consistent swing path make him a dangerous presence in the lineup. Already proving his ability to perform at a high level, Sabers is a must-follow prospect in the 2026 class.

Garrett Jacobs (2026, Manhattan Beach, CA) impressed on the mound with a powerful, well-rounded arsenal. The right-handed pitcher sat 86-89 mph with his fastball, topping out at 90 mph, showing late life and acceleration through the zone. He paired it with a sharp 74-76 mph slider that tunnels well off the fastball, along with a 73-75 mph curveball that induced plenty of groundouts. Jacobs features clean, complete mechanics from an athletic leg kick through a strong, efficient release. He works with a quick tempo and shows confidence in attacking the strike zone without hesitation. With a durable build and advanced feel for sequencing, Jacobs projects as a high-upside arm with strong development potential at the next level.

Cameron Cobb (2027, Manhattan Beach, CA) is a 6-foot-1 catcher for the West Coast Red Sox who went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs, helping lead his team to victory. He shows quick wrists and a compact, explosive bat path that allows him to drive the ball hard to the pull side. Cobb can also go the other way with authority, though he’s not a pure long-swing power hitter. With strong plate discipline, low strikeout and chase rates, he’s a reliable and productive presence in the lineup. Behind the plate, Cobb demonstrates leadership qualities, managing pitchers effectively and showing a strong understanding of game strategy. He possesses solid arm strength, good blocking ability, and quick pop times with accurate throws. Already showing a well-developed frame, Cobb projects well as a high-level catcher as he continues to refine his skills and make adjustments.

Devin Schuster (2026, Folsom, CA) delivered an impressive two-way performance in his Day 1 outing. He went 3-for-3 at the plate with 3 RBIs and a double, and also threw two scoreless innings to secure the win for BPA Black. On the mound, Schuster topped out at 85 mph with his fastball and showcased a big-breaking curveball that generated three strikeouts. An athletic and agile player, Schuster makes both hitting and pitching look effortless. When not on the mound, he plays as a middle infielder, showing quick instincts and versatility. Offensively, he displays excellent bat-to-bat adjustments and a high baseball IQ, able to respond quickly to challenges and contribute through hard work and consistency. Batting second in the lineup, Schuster brings leadership traits and steady production, making him a key asset for his team.

-Paul Huang
 
Jack Scully (‘26, Scottsdale, AZ) filled up the zone in his outing, attacking hitters with confidence. He showed solid velocity from a tall over-the-top delivery, creating a tough angle downhill. The fastball sat 83–86 mph and topped at 88 mph, paired effectively with a curveball to generate weak contact. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, Scully’s size and pitch mix make him a tough look on the mound.

Luis Mejia (‘26, Phoenix, AZ) started off the week with a double in the gap and continues to find the barrel consistently. Smooth and mature swing with quick hands through the zone, staying balanced throughout. Also showed range and a strong arm in the infield, making plays from second base with ease. Athletic 5-foot-11, 176-pound frame with more to come as he develops.

Vinny Noble (‘26, Paradise Valley, AZ) took a pitch deep to left field for a home run to extend the lead. Shows a powerful swing and consistently catches the ball out in front with authority. Put together quality at-bats throughout the game. Athletic behind the plate, works hard defensively with smooth actions. Stands at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds and should add more power as his frame fills out.

Owen McGuire (‘26, Phoenix, AZ) came in to close and delivered an impressive outing, sitting 86–89 mph and topping out at 91 mph. His fastball jumps out of hand with life, and he mixes in a sharp slider that keeps hitters off balance. McGuire attacks the zone with confidence, getting ahead early in counts and forcing weak contact. His arm action is quick and whippy, and he moves well down the mound with a controlled, athletic delivery. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, he has a projectable build with more in the tank as he continues to develop.

Jose Borrego (‘26, Apple Valley, CA) worked well on the mound with four shutout innings, allowing zero hits and keeping hitters off balance throughout. His fastball sat 85–88 mph and topped at 90 mph, showing life out of the hand and riding through the zone. Borrego also featured a sharp, well-commanded slider that he used effectively in all counts. He moves maturely down the mound with a fluid, repeatable delivery. At 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, there's room for more velocity could come as he continues to develop physically.

Matthew Herrera (‘27, Eastvale, CA) is a left-handed hitter who made his presence felt early in the tournament. He consistently found the barrel with multiple hard-hit balls, including several extra-base hits and RBI’s to lead off the weekend. Hitting out of the cleanup spot, Herrera delivered in key moments and showed advanced bat-to-ball skills. At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, he brings strength and impact to the middle of the order and continues to be a run-producing threat.

Kaleb Weaver (‘26, Kaysville, UT), the No. 1 ranked RHP in Utah for his class, impressed with a strong outing on the mound. His fastball sat 85-88 mph and touched 91 mph, showing life through the zone. He paired it with an effective slider that featured late horizontal break, keeping hitters off balance. Weaver showed confidence and composure throughout his appearance, working comfortably in the zone and challenging hitters. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound BYU commit continues to show why he’s one of the top arms in the region.

Sullivan Conlin (‘26, Stillwater, MN) showcased a lengthy, projectable build and worked with confidence through five strong innings on the mound. His fastball topped out at 93 mph and sat comfortably in the 87-89 mph range, creating tough angles up in the zone. He paired it with a sharp 12-6 curveball that came in at 77-81 mph, effectively keeping hitters off balance. Conlin showed good command of both pitches and maintained a repeatable, fluid follow-through throughout his outing. The right-hander's mound presence and velocity make him an exciting arm to follow.

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....

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.

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...

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...
