16u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3




David Jeon (2021, Coppell, Texas) made quite the impression Wednesday morning as he lit up the radar gun with the loudest mound performance of the week so far in terms of pure velocity. The uncommitted righthander worked strictly at 90-94 mph with the fastball in his first inning of work, hitting 93 and 94 multiple times, before settling into the 88-91 mph range for the other 2 1/3 innings of work, picking up eight strikeouts in the outing. The frame is a bit lean for being listed at 6-foot, 200-pounds given most of the weight seems to be sitting in the lower half. Jeon worked solely out of the stretch in this look, allowing him to eliminate any unnecessary motions and drive down the mound well. The command was strong throughout the outing as he tossed just under 70 percent strikes across 59 pitches, showing the ability to work both halves well.

The delivery was highly controlled and low-effort, allowing him to repeat well and maintain easy velocity deep into the outing. The arm is very quick through a high three-quarters slot that creates running life to the fastball. He showed good feel for a breaking ball that flashed some power to it at 77-79 mph as he created a high percentage of swing-and-miss. There is a lot to like as the projection to more velocity is there given the ease that the ball comes out of the hand and the room in the frame to fill. He has had high success at the plate this week and in past events, sitting at 8-for-12 currently, showing a potential for becoming a two-way prospect at the next level, but the future seems very bright on the mound for the uncommitted Texas native.



Jaxon Weber (2021, Carrollton, Texas) closed out Jeon’s win for the talented Dulins Dodgers – Godwin team as they pushed toward a potential berth in the playoff rounds, picking up a pair of strikeouts in his lone inning of work. The lefthander, a TCU commit, worked consistently in the 87-90 mph range, bumping a 91 early on in the inning. Weber does a good job of holding his front half closed, creating an angle to his release that creates a level of deception to the hitter, making at-bats especially uncomfortable for lefthanded hitters. The arm is long and loose as it whips through the angled three-quarters slot from an athletic delivery that allows him to repeat and extend well to both halves. Although he didn’t flash his primary off-speed pitch in the slider, he did flash a changeup with similar action out of the hand to the fastball but with late fade that kept the hitters off time and off balance.



Brodie Chestnutt (2021, Fitzgerald, Ga.) made a brief start early Wednesday afternoon and showed a very good look at what he has to offer at the next level. The physicality and projection of the body very much stand out above most of the class, standing at a strong 6-foot-3, 210-pounds. The Florida State commit worked at 87-88, topping out at 90 mph with significant heaviness and life to the fastball in this look as he worked regularly to the outer half creating consistent swing-and-miss. The long arm shows some whippiness to it through a three-quarters slot that creates heavy arm-side run, but sometimes creates command issues due to a sometimes lack of consistency with the release point. When he is on time with the lower half and releases well out front, the heaviness and run to the fastball is tough to barrel up.

Chestnutt struggled a little to consistently land his good off-speed in this look, but showed the makings of what could be a pair of very good pitches in a late-biting slider and a hard thrown changeup. He has everything to offer in a projectable righthander and he should only continue to add velocity and sharpen up his three-pitch mix as the 36thoverall ranked prospect develops over his last two years of high school.

Jayden Voelker (2021, Coventry, R.I.) was absolutely outstanding as he took the mound for Merc Elite Wednesday morning. The uncommitted righthander tossed 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out 15. Standing at 6-foot-2, 235-pounds, he is a presence on the mound with a very thick lower half that he used throughout as he was able to hold velocity all the way into the seventh inning, throwing 90 mph on his 94th pitch of the game. He would bump 91 mph earlier in the game, sitting comfortably at 87-89 mph with command throughout the outing. The delivery is a bit uncontrolled and the mechanics are relatively raw as he uses more of pure strength to throw for a high velocity as opposed to pure arm talent and efficiency in the delivery. There is some extra weight in the build that could be trimmed down to add athleticism and flexibility in the delivery that would translate to an increase in velocity, but at just halfway through his 16-year old year, there is time to do so.

The fastball showed life to both halves, but as the body falls off to the glove side in extension, there is a bit of pulling off that causes lack of what could be. Voelker showed a good ability to land his three-pitch mix as he showed a power breaking ball with hard bite that he used often to create swing-and-miss, while also mixing in a changeup with similar action to the fastball showing late tumble. There is a lot to like in what this uncommitted northern arm could become as he cleans up the delivery and what return that could give in him in terms of the velocity increase and sharpness of the off-speed pitches.

The East Cobb Astros ran their pool play record to 3-1 with a hard fought, come-from-behind, 3-2 victory over a very good Scorpions 2021 Select Kelly squad. The Astros rode strong pitching and sound defense to capture the late win. Lefty, Dylan Rhadans (2021, Acworth, Ga.) started on the bump for East Cobb and was sterling in his three innings of work. The long and lean southpaw pitched off his well-commanded fastball that showed arm-side run and heavy sink at the plate. His velocity was consistently in the 78-80 mph range. His heater appeared to jump on the hitters, as he pitched with highly deceptive mechanics that he routinely repeated. He complements his fastball with a sharp 12-to-6 breaking 66-mph curveball. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound rising junior at North Paulding HS allowed only one hit and walked only two in his very efficient three-inning stint.

Davis Williams (2021, Cartersville, Ga.) followed Rhadans to the hill and gave the Scorps’ hitters a completely different look. The junior-to-be at Cartersville High School throws with a low three-quarters slot and hides the ball behind his body until release. His fastball, which he throws in the 78-80 mph range, shows consistent arm-side run and sink. He works fast and pitches to contact, getting a lot of early, weak swings.

Closing the game out for the Astros was Carlson Reed (2020, Marietta, Ga.). The rising senior at Marietta HS is a power chucking righty with sound mechanics. He was all business for 1 1/3 innings, pitching off his high-octane fastball. He was consistently clocked in the 85-88 mph range and was always around the dish.

Highlighting the Astros on both offense and defense was left fielder Will Turner (2021, Auburn, Ala.). The Auburn HS junior-to-be and athletically gifted Turner made, quite possibly, the defensive play of the tournament when he laid out to catch a well-struck ball in left before getting to his feet and firing a strike to first base to double off the runner for a very un-routine 7-3 DP. Turner was also the catalyst on offense picking up two hits on the day, one of which was a bunt single that highlighted his advanced running ability.

Continuing their undefeated run through pool play the Florida Rebels overwhelmed Team Elite 16u, 11-1, to run their record to an impressive 5-0. The potent Rebels offense had a lineup full of contributors, however, two hitters stood out.

At 5-foot-11, 200-pounds, barrel-chested and broad-shouldered, Brady Jernigan (2021, Sarasota, Fla.) continued his onslaught on tournament pitching going 2-for-2 with two runs scored and another driven in. The powerfully built Rebels cleanup hitter uses a solid lower half and a path that has a slight lift at contact to consistently power the ball to the pull side. The rising junior at Braden River HS is also an exceptional baserunner who uses a great first step and advanced instincts to pressure the opponent defense.

One of the more gifted players and athletically talented individuals in Fort Myers this week is Brad Myers (2021, St. Petersburg, Fla.). The 5-foot-8, 165-pound junior-to-be at Northeast HS is a multi-tool prospect who blends advanced speed with a steady ability to get his barrel to the ball. He uses a flatter path to drive the ball to all parts of the field. His 2-for-3 day included a single to right-center field and a screaming double down the left field line. His two knocks plated three runs in the Rebels big win.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple. Functional & compact swing. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Tennessee pic.twitter.com/YVUfxbHBxx — Perfect Game...

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive

Perfect Game Staff
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.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Alain Gomez-Gudiño (‘26 AZ) with a pair of backside barrels, including a double. Physical 6-0/215 frame. Switch-hitter with power. Adv. defender with strong C&T behind the dish. @PGAllAmerican alum. #Gamecocks commit #PGHS @PG_Draft @SaguaroBaseball pic.twitter.com/2Vhuu5gYX9 — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 11, 2026 C Alain Gomez-Gudino, Saguaro (Ariz.) Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

College Players of the Week: April 14

Vincent Cervino

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...
