Tynan Gunn (2022, Cedar Park, Texas) was impressive in his two innings of work on Friday afternoon, striking out three and allowing just one hit. Gunn has a physical build at 6-foot-1, 230-pounds and he works down the mound with good linear direction in the lower half. Gunn has a short and compact arm stroke from an over-the-top slot, sitting at 82-84 mph with the fastball. Gunn used a two-seam fastball with late run and sink at 80 mph to get some big swings and misses in plus counts. While the feel for the slider is developing, Gunn was able to show it multiple times on Friday at 70-73 mph. There is more strength and velocity in Gunn’s frame, and it is only a matter of time before the jumps start to come.

Brian Panneton (2022, Tomball, Texas) showed a lot of things to like on the mound Friday afternoon. He threw 3 2/3 innings for Texas Twelve Silver, striking out four and allowing just one walk. Panneton pitched in the low-80s, topping at 83 mph with a fastball he was comfortable throwing to both sides of the plate. He constantly attacked hitters with the running fastball, getting some soft contact and quick outs at times. The righthander has good feel for a curveball with two-plane shape at 66-68 mph. The curveball had some deception to it, and Panneton was able to use it well to keep hitters off balance. Panneton is an athletic pitcher with a strong lower half, and he hides the ball well before coming through with a three-quarters slot.

Jonathan Lowe (2022, Royce City, Texas) had a strong day at the plate for Academy Select Baseball – Howard/Lowe on Friday morning. The third baseman was 2-for-4 with a pair of hard-hit balls, including a double down the left field line. Lowe has some present bat speed and strength at the plate, and his direct hand path to contact allows him to consistently hit line drives. Lowe has a 6-foot-1, 173-pound frame, and he moves well at third base with some present arm strength and clean glove actions. Lowe, who is uncommitted and also an interesting righthanded pitcher, will be a name to watch in the 2021 class.

Gehrig Vogel (2022, Allen, Texas) was dominant in his complete game effort on Friday morning, allowing just four hits and striking out seven in the victory. Vogel has a young frame with plenty of room to grow and add strength, and his fast arm from a loose three-quarters slot makes him someone to really keep an eye on. As Vogel adds strength and size to the lower half, his fastball velocity will improve from the 77-79 mph he was at Friday. However, the righthander already has advanced ability to locate the fastball and excellent feel for spin with a curveball with 11-to-5 shape. Vogel’s projection makes him very exciting to keep an eye on.

Jack Little (2022, Katy, Texas) was eye-catching Friday afternoon, going 1-for-3 with a loud double and consistently driving the baseball. Little has a smooth and fluid swing at the plate, and his line drive barrel plane makes more consistently hard contact through the middle of the field. Little also had some impressive actions in the infield Friday. The primary shortstop rounds the ball well, funneling out front and delivering throws from multiple slots with impressive arm strength. Little is has some present athleticism to go with quick feet and impressive range, and it will be interesting to see how he develops as his career continues.

Chase Davis (2022, Montgomery, Texas) is a physical lefthanded pitcher with a ton of upside as he continues to mature and develop. Davis has a 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with room to fill and add strength, and the lower half works clean down the mound. Davis tossed three scoreless innings for Texas Twelve Maroon, striking out six and allowing just one hit. Davis’ fastball was at 82-84 mph on Friday, and he generated good downward plane and late run to the arm side. Davis flashed feel for tight curveball with 11-to-5 shape at 73-75, and showed developing feel for a changeup in the low-70s. Davis has the frame and arm to be a big-time follow in the 2022 class.




Jace LaViolette (2022, Katy, Texas) has an extremely physical build and a ton of raw power that he showcased on Friday afternoon. LaViolette finished the game 1-for-2 with a walk and a loud double to the gap in right-center field. LaViolette has a strong lower half and present bat speed. The quick hands at the plate make for an easy swing with natural power. The PG Select Festival alum and Louisiana State commit has a 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame and he moves really around the diamond and in the outfield.

Conner Weigman (2022, Cypress, Texas) had a strong day at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles, one of them plating two runs. Weigman played a strong third base in Friday’s contest, and the athleticism was apparent at both the plate and in the field. Weigman has a tall and athletic frame at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, and his arm strength and bat speed are very apparent. Weigman starts from a slightly crouched stance at the plate and does a great job of driving the ball where it is pitched. It will be exciting to see what Weigman does as the tournament moves on.

Garrett Nail (2022, Sweeny, Texas) was lights out coming out of the bullpen for Texas Twelve Maroon on Friday, tossing two hitless innings while striking out a pair. Nail has an athletic and physical frame at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds and he creates good linear direction with the lower half at foot strike. The righthander has long and loose arm action from a high three-quarters slot, creating some good natural run and downward plane to the fastball at 82-85 mph. Nail flashed some feel for spin with a curveball at 70 mph late in his outing Friday, only throwing it once. Nail features a lot of things to like on the mound, and the uncommitted member of the 2022 class will continue to develop as his career presses on.

Ryan Dickey (2022, Forney, Texas) is a young, medium framed two-way athlete for Dallas Tigers- DeLaGarza. Dickey got the start on the mound at TCU in the morning slot. He had a smooth, downhill delivery, controlled his front-side well and stayed online. Dickey used a three-pitch mix during his outing with the ability to throw all three for strikes. His fastball was 77-82 mph with sink, mixing in a 11-to-5 slider at 72 mph and generating weak contact with his straight changeup that was 70 mph. Dickey kept hitters off balance for two innings, striking out four and walking one. Offensively, Dickey was able to make hard contact in his two-plate appearance, got the barrel out front and showed good bat speed.

Defensively, Matthew Mendez (2022, Del Rio, Texas) stood out at shortstop for the Texas Angles 15u Blue. He flashed the leather multiple times, showed good range and above average arm strength with carry. Mendez made two back-handed plays in the hole with easy throws across the diamond and showed lateral agility with a great play up the middle that he made look routine.  With plenty of time to fill out his frame, he projects as a good defender, while also being able to hit for average in the future.

Joshua Hoover (2022, Heath, Texas) started on the mound for Dallas Tigers 15u Polk and impressed in his outing. His fastball sat 84-87 mph with sink to both sides of the plate. Hoover had a good feel for his slider that he was able to shape with 11-to-5 break at 72 mph. He pitched two innings, allowed one hit and stuck out five. Hoover worked well at the knees with two pitches and generated plenty of swings and misses. Hoover has a large frame with broad shoulders, has room to add more strength and will be an interesting young prospect for college coaches to follow.

Brooks Gay (2022, Abilene, Texas) came in to relief for Dallas Tigers 15u Polk. The righthanded pitcher worked 1 1/3 innings, struck out two and walked one. His fastball was 81-85 mph with arm-side run and showed a potential out-pitch with a slider that was 70-73 mph. Standing at 6-foot-3, Gay repeated his delivery, got downhill, created good angle and worked below the belt. He projects for added strength to his frame and will be a young prospect to keep on eye on.




Trenton Shaw (2022, Desoto, Texas) has a physical, strong frame. The talented two-way athlete for Dallas Tigers 15u Polk had an impressive morning on both sides of the ball. At the plate, Shaw went 2-for-4 with two hits, one RBI and three stolen bases. The young lefthanded prospect had a sound approach, stayed inside the ball well and hit to all parts of the field while making hard contact in all four of his at-bats. Hitting in the No. 2 hole, Shaw wasted no time in the first inning by attacking a fastball that he drove into the left-center field gap for an RBI single. In his second at-bat, he drove a deep fly ball to center field that was tracked down for a loud out and followed that up with a Texas Leaguer to left field in his third plate appearance.

Standing at 6-foot-4, 220-pounds, Shaw had an imposing presence on the mound and showed why he is ranked as the No. 6 overall lefthanded pitcher in the 2022 class. In one inning of work, he was free and easy with electric stuff. His fastball was consistently 88-90 mph with late run and sink. He flashed a developing feel for a 12-to-6 curveball along with a sharp, late-breaking slider. Shaw is an elite arm with a very high-ceiling that projects for more velocity over the next three years at DeSoto High School.

Travis Sykora (2023, Round Rock, Texas) is a shortstop for Performance Baseball Texas 14u. He displayed smooth actions, soft hands and a playable arm with online throws and carry. He is a lean, long-limbed, high-waisted prospect with room to fill out. With added strength to his 6-foot-1 frame, Sykora should produce more power at the plate and defensively, has the tools to stay up the middle as he matures.

Gabriel Flores (2022, Longview, Texas) is an outfielder and righthanded pitcher for Performance Baseball Texas 14u. Flores started the game in center field and used good footwork to get in a good position to field the ball out-front, displayed good range with above average arm strength. He used a sound approach at the plate and had a quick bat with a linear swing path. Flores came in to relief and pitched 3 2/3 innings, struck out four, walked one and allowed zero hits. Flores had a short arm circle and threw from an over-the-top arm slot, created some run on his fastball that was 81-84 mph and showed good feel for a 12-to-6 curveball that was 68-70 mph. Flores has medium frame with room to fill, broad shoulders and has a chance to be a two-way player down the road.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes
Tyler Kotila
Article Image
Creighton Tuzzio (2024, Clarinda, Iowa) took the ball in the semi-final game and was able to get on the bump and carve for his team. Tuzzio is a taller 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame with plenty to like in the operation. The right-handed pitcher has a slower and more controlled operation as he works through the delivery. He lifts the leg up around the belt and then works through a three-quarters release with good whip through it. The fastball worked up to 86 mph on the fastball and held in the low- to mid-80s. He creates some angle on it with the taller & projectable frame. It runs arm-side and can be a problem for right-handed hitters. He also showed a low-70s curveball with a bigger 11/5 tilt to it and good depth to miss some bats. The Iowa Western commit threw 5.0 innings, allowing just 1 run, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts to his credit.   There’s no surprise here, but...

Michael Flores (2026, NC) looking great through 4 innings pitched with 11 k’s. Great command and completely missing barrels. #2023WWBACoastalSophmoreFallInvatational pic.twitter.com/Oqd3WD0E05 — PG Coastal Scouting (@PG_Coastal) September 24, 2023 Michael Flores (2026, Mooresville, NC) put on an electric performance to watch for the SBA Futures 2026 in their matchup versus the Carolina Reds. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP did his job for his team today to keep them in the game. Flores throws with a high leg lift and creates some good motions towards the plate with his whippy action. Flores has a great feel for the zone and pounded strikes at a 66% rate. Flores generated swing and miss after swing and miss and it was clear he was in control out there on the mound. He sat in the 70-mph range to 79-mph range with his fastball with the ability to pinpoint it wherever he pleased....

James Sherry (’26, Aiken, S.C.)- the 6-foot-1, 155-pound right-handed pitcher tossed a complete game for Xtreme Xposure Baseball-Bennett in an 8-1 win over 2 Way Athletics 16U. A primary outfielder, Sherry finished with 15 strikeouts and just one walk while controlling the zone at a 65% strike rate. Appearing in only his second PG tournament, Sherry turned in another great pitching performance after being selected to the All-Tournament Team at the 2023 16U PG Southeast Labor Day Classic.

A high speed look at this 2B from Keon Johnson... #WWBAWorlds @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Ejl8GirIgk pic.twitter.com/ate7ro35cp — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 24, 2023 Keon Johnson (2026, Macon, Ga.) started off the morning loud, going down to get a pitch down and smoking a double that split the opposite field gap at a 92 mph exit velocity. The shortstop has one of the best hit tools in the class and has tremendous feel for the barrel. The swing is quiet and simple, staying loose through the zone. The ball jumps and the parts really work. At short, Johnson looked silky with good actions, range, and plenty of arm strength across. The game comes easy for the Georgia native, and still just 15, the all-around game is very well-refined for the age.  Jaxson Wood (2026, Hoover, Ala.) finished batting .500 over the tournament, including three extra-base hits.

Deep South Fall Invitational Scout Notes

Alex Dorso
Article Image
Patrick Kovacs (2026 Knoxville TN) was dominant in his outing in game two of pool play for Exposure National. The southpaw tossed three scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out eight. He showed plus command of the fastball dotting it to both sides of the plate while working off the corners at times. Patrick sat 75-78 topping at 79 multiple times throughout. He mixed in a tight breaking ball with two plane movement that he had no problem mixing in any count keeping the opposing hitters off balanced in the box. Coming from a mid 3/4s slot there was some deception within the operation making it tough to pick the fastball up out of the hand. The frame has plenty of athleticism within with plenty of more room for additional strength as he continues to mature. Kovacs should be a fun follow as he continues to progress through high school. Ryan Riojas (‘26 TN) drives this...

The big and physical 6-foot-4, 210-pound arm threw a complete game, seven inning, one-hit shutout, striking out 13 and walking one. The fastball had downhill life to it, sitting in the 85-88 range for the entirety of the game. Garrison held the velocity and reached back for his fastest bullet of the game, at 89, in the seventh inning. Finishing the outing with 70% strikes, he filled up the zone and went right at hitters.

Northeast Qualifier Scout Notes

Jack Harley (2024, Mendham, NJ) put together a dominant performance at the plate in the WWBA NEQ, leading his team to a coveted Jupiter bid while also earning MVP-honors. The 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter showcased his advanced bat-to-ball skills on several occasions. He batted .643 with two doubles, a home run and six stolen bases. Harley utilizes a repeatable, synced-up stroke with clean separation into launch. He has a great feel for the barrel and creates good strength at impact to all parts of the diamond. The future Hokie recorded a hit in all six of his games and proved to be a reliable bat at the top-of-the-order for Clubhouse 2024 EvoShield. Harley’s build offers a good balance of strength and athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect with intriguing upside moving forward.  .#VandyBoys commit Aiden O’Connell (‘24, NH) is back on the bump in the #NEQ...

Nathan Caldwell (2026, Columbia, S.C.) looked the part in the batter’s box as the Team Elite three-hole hitter had one of the hardest hit balls of the day. There’s really impressive bat speed and the ability to create violence and rotational acceleration through contact. He missiled a single during the game and there looks like there’s going to be pretty significant impact potential long term. He’s a strong kid with good indicators and offensive tools to like. Drew Borkowski (2026, Huntley, Ill.) showed plenty to like in the arm as he got the start in game one on the day for GRB. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds he’s got a lanky frame with long limbs and plenty of room for physical projection. It’s a quick arm with solid arm speed throughout and he opened up sitting 85-87 mph with the fastball. The fastball showed good sinking life and he used it to get a lot...
