National Select Champ. Scout Notes

Image Photo: Seth Hernandez (Perfect Game)
Seth Hernandez (2025, Chino, Calif.) was as advertised on the bump, as the No. 4 player in the class struck out 10 over five shutout innings with a real three-pitch mix. His frame continues to grow and the velocity matches. The fastball grabbed a 94 and lived mostly 89-92 mph with heavy life and carry up to 2400 RPMs. His low-80s changeup is as premium an offering in the class, mimicking arm speed with great depth and shape and simply falls off the table to lefties. It comes in over 2200 RPMs too and paired with a hammer slider-esque breaker upwards of 2700 RPMs. He mixes with ease and the fastball played up. He has some of the best arm talent in the class with considerable upside.  

Cooper Powell (2024, Bedford, Texas) showed plenty of upside in his outing. The DBU commit could be in store for a big spring and summer from the left side. The arm is free and easy, fastball lived high-80s and grabbed a pair at 90 mph. The slider is a real sweeper with traits and has makings of a real offering. He also flashed a pair of firm changeups in the low-80s. Combine all this from the left side from an ultra loose slot and there’s a lot to like going forward.  



Virginia Tech commit Luca Perriello (2024, Evans, Georgia) was a huge standout with the stick the entire week, collecting several barrels including two three-run homers to left. The stroke is simple and quick with a good bit of bat speed and a strong set of hands that produce some carry. He worked counts and took several quality at-bats. Perriello is a versatile athlete who can play all over the dirt and brings a lot to like at the plate. Also ran it up to 91 mph on the hill to close it out.  

Jason Flores (2024, Wylie, Tesas) stood out in a big way on the hill. The Texas State commit ran it up 93 mph with hard sink and arm-side run upwards of 2300 RPMs. He can tunnel a hard biting slider in the high-70s with some two-plane depth and tail as another high spin offering upwards of 2600 RPMs. The arm talent is more than evident and as he adds a third pitch can really tap into his upside.  

Braxton Barber (2026, Dallas, Texas) was downright impressive with the stick throughout the entire week. The TCU commit has an advanced hit tool from the left side with great barrel control. There’s some whip to the hands and ability to manipulate it to all fields. He sprayed the oppo gap well before going big fly on a lefty-lefty matchup. He’s a solid athlete with good reads in center field, and the bat makes him awfully enticing at the next level.   


Jordan Garza (2026, Corpus Christi, Texas) tossed a perfect game over seven innings with an outstanding 14 strikeouts. He had it all working from a potent mix. The fastball topped 87 and lived mid-80s with some arm-side life. He can spin a good slider with plenty of intent and action to it. He missed bats at will and also showed out with the stick producing solid contact throughout the week. One of the best performances you can ask for.   


Miller Sheets (2026, Monroe, La.) is an awfully enticing left-handed to stick to dream upon. He creates lots of length with present bat speed and lift to his path, as was on display with his long ball to right field. He swung it well all week and pieced together several loud barrels. He’s a lanky corner, the strength is more than present and should only continue to project. Keep a close eye on Sheets as he matures.  

Blaine Brown (2024, Pearland, Texas) showed well on the bump and more than held his own. The uncommitted southpaw is a solid athlete with a pretty polished mix. His fastball ran up to 89-90 mph and lived there with good arm-side run. His breaker is a sharper offering too with a bit of slurvy depth and late bite. Both offerings are higher spin at over 2250 RPMs and he mixed tempos awfully well. Also flashed a promising changeup. At this point in the class, Brown is a lefty to grab quickly.  

Andrew Petrock (2026, Pelham, Ala.) was impressive on both sides and has the traits. He can pick it a good bit at short, looking the part with soft hands and clean transfers that stood out. His feet are in-sync and he’s pretty smooth up the middle. He has some hitterish traits to him with good handle for the barrel, gets good extension and lags the barrel well through the zone. He also pitched a gem and ran it up to 84 mph. He got it done in all facets.  

Dawson Hinson (2026, Friendswood, Texas) was another standout stick this week as he seemed to always be on the barrel, including a big fly on Day 1. There’ some real impact that plays to the pull side and there’s good athleticism all around. He held his own at shortstop and produced plenty of contact at the plate. Hinson’s traits should only develop as he matures and his overall feel and ability to lead a spark at the top of the order impressed.  

Connor Comeau (2026, Pflugerville, Texas) stood out in a multitude of ways over the week. His outing on the mound featured a potent two pitch mix, running it up to 86 mph from an ultra loose slot and late tailing slider in the low-70s. He capped his dominant week with a three-run homer to the pull side. He’s younger for the class with plenty of projection in store and is a real follow for the class.  

Cort Lowry (2024, Franklin, Texas) was stellar on the bump, over seven-plus innings with nine strikeouts. He has a loose arm action with a real three-pitch mix. Fastball topped 88 and lived there with some arm-side life. The slider gets over 2400 RPMs at 79-81 mph that was commanded well to both sides. His changeup continues to impress with late arm-side fade. The components are there to really build upon as an uncommitted arm.  

Chad Pantsuo (2024, San Antonio, Texas) took home MVP honors after his electric showing batting leadoff. He can turn the barrel over well with quick hands and a short turn in space. Pantsuo really sets a table and can reach top gear on the paths too. He showed well with the glove at second and was awfully impressive in several facets.  

Chase Pearrow (2026, Waxahachie, Texas) earned MVP honors for the 15u side of the tournament. He hit one of the furthest balls of the week, a towering shot to the trees in the quarterfinals as a huge momentum shifter. The traits are evident at the dish with some enticing hand speed and a full rotation through contact. He really gets into it with intent and offers a good bit of athleticism defensively. 

Nick Cucchi (2024, Tampa, Florida) showed the wide array of tools throughout the week. He’s an above-average runner in center with loads of now bat speed and strength at the plate. The uncommitted center fielder nearly left the yard on a long double to the pull-side gap as just one of his highlight barrels. The twitch and speed really play.  He checks a good amount of boxes and the twitch, athleticism are hard to find at this stage. Big uncommitted name to grab for the class.  

Cameron Johnson (2024, Waco, Texas) tossed a complete game shutout with 12 strikeouts in a dominant outing. The uncommitted right-hander had it all working. It’s a pretty potent fastball/curveball combo with good depth and shape to the 11-5 breaker. He fills the zone with good intent and trusts it. There is plenty of length left in the frame to build upon too, name to watch closely.  

Kai Bratton (2026, Westminster Calif.) showed a lot to like on the hill. He ran it up to 84 mph and held it, but the slider is a real advanced offering. It has some tight shape and later bite upwards of 2600 RPMs and spun with plenty of intent. It was awfully effective tailing against righties and he spun it with confidence. It’s a quick, athletic arm who checks a good amount of boxes.  

Hawk Bowers (2024, Denton, Texas) went big fly deep into the trees Day 1 and really showed out the entire week. He has a loose athletic stroke from the right side with some good whip to the barrel. He’s a lankier, long build with plenty more to tap into at this stage too. He can handle a corner spot defensively with some upside in the stick, as well. Solid uncommitted name here.  

Anthony Del Angel (2026, Rio Rancho, N.M.) oozes upside and showed why over the week. The Oklahoma commit screams physical projection, and his lanky 6-foot-3 frame should fill out as he matures. The hands are electric with plenty of whip and bat speed that jumps off the page at points. His drift and overall posture can be improved to help his front foot develop more consistent timing, but the impact is different off the barrel at this age and should really come to form a few years down the road. The profile has the upside of an athletic defender on the left side with serious thunder at the plate. Very enticing.  

Zeke Seoane (2024, Fort Worth, Texas) was the loudest performer during playoffs for the 17u bracket as he lived on the barrel to the pull side. The Louisiana-Monroe commit sent one deep to right and peppered the right-center gap twice with ease. He’s a real physical switch hitter with some immense strength to the hands that play to pull. He can whip it with intent and the impact is loud. Seoane offers some defensive versatility as well, and fits a multitude of spots while his bat can play anywhere in the lineup. He continues to impress this summer.

Championships are never won in a single game. For FTB National 2027, this one has been in the making for years. An 8-0 victory over Team Elite 17U Scout capped off an unforgettable week at the 2026 Perfect Game 17U National Elite Championship, but according to those inside the dugout, the championship was a product of friendships formed long before the tournament ever began. FTB took their first national elite win in team history, giving one of the nation’s top 2027 teams an elite ending to their 17U summer. “This is a homegrown group,” head coach Will Haynie said. “This team has been together for the last four or five years, and I think a lot of them have been together since the Little League World Series when they were 12. It’s been fun, and a nice little cap off to their 17U summer, especially after winning a big event like this.” That chemistry...

With the 2026 MLB Draft complete, our own draft team put together a fun exercise. Using a snake style draft format, we each had to build a roster using players selected in the 2026 MLB Draft. There was one catch. Each team could select only one player from each of the first 10 rounds, plus one player from Rounds 11-20. You did not have to go in order of each round, meaning you could jump between rounds and pick which players you thought had the most value. Each team installed a different strategy, balancing between star power, positional value, and depth. You tell us, which team do you think has the most talent? Team Albee C: Vahn Lackey, Georgia Tech (1st rd) 1B: Will Adams, Hoover HS (11th rd) MIF: Cole Prosek, Magnolia Heights HS (2nd rd) MIF: Eric Guevara, Auburn (7th rd) 3B: Robert Omidi, Fieldhouse Pirates (8th rd) OF: Kevin Roberts Jr, Jackson Prep HS (4th rd) OF: Alex...

17u WWBA North Champ. Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Ty Teske (2027, Merrill, WI) worked a complete-game seven-inning shutout while striking out 12 and never allowed the game to speed up on him. The fastball sat 79-81 and touched 83, consistently working to both sides of the plate and getting him into favorable counts. Repeats the delivery exceptionally well and maintained command throughout all seven innings. Mixed in a 69-71 curveball with depth that he showed confidence landing for strikes early or using to finish at-bats. Did an excellent job changing eye levels and preventing hitters from sitting on one pitch.   Landon Sanderson (2027, Lake Crystal, MN) attacked hitters with an 85-87 fastball that reached 89 and showed quality arm-side movement through the zone. The ball comes out with some jump and continued to play throughout the outing. Stayed on the attack from the first inning, consistently getting ahead and forcing...

Cal Pearson (2028, Marietta, GA) is a 6’1/175lb utility athlete who has performed from a couple different spots on day one. Pearson came in to relieve in the bottom of the fifth and filled up the strike zone with predominantly fastball. Stepped up for an at bat in the next inning and helped himself out by sending a 2-1 heater into left field for an rbi double. Following that he got back on the mound and delivered a scoreless inning to put the finishing touches on the save. Was up to 89 and showed a ton of 2-way ability.  Marcus Labouchere (2027, Powder Springs, GA) the Navy commit could not be stopped at the dish on day one going 2-2 with a double and an rbi.

Hoover Classic Scout Notes

Hayes Leach (‘29 MS) has been a thrill to watch here in Hoover, now up to five hits in the tournament as we head into bracket. Serving as the leadoff man for East Coast Sox 2029 Marucci, he holds a really fun profile featuring excellent speed traits with feel to hit gap-to-gap. Often hits baseballs hard on the ground, giving him opportunities to beat throws out. Had three hits with 3 RBI in their 10-run comeback on Saturday. Number two outfielder in the state of Mississippi for class.   Enoch Carlise (‘27 TN) settling in on the bump.
