Logan Britt, OF, Colleyville Heritage HS (Texas)
The move to the leadoff spot has been a welcome change for Logan Britt the 6-foot-5, 210-pound center fielder for Colleyville Heritage High School (Texas). The 2018 Perfect Game All American Classic participant put on quite a display on Tuesday night, showcasing all of the tools that make him such an intriguing prospect. Britt led off the game with a first-pitch double to deep left-center field, he followed it up with an infield single, another double off the top of the wall in center field and hit a two-strike rocket up the middle in his final at bat of the night. Britt added in a pair of runs scored and a couple of stolen bases on the night as well.

If that were not enough, He showed tremendous range in the outfield to both gaps and showed his mid-90s arm strength from the outfield with a strike to the plate to prevent a runner from even trying to score from second on a base hit. Seeing the full scope of Britt’s tools in one night is a simple reminder of how truly explosive he can be. There is room for further refinement, but the combination of size, strength and speed can compare with any prospect in the country. He can be simply explosive at times with a high level of body control. His future power potential will be harnessed with improved barrel to ball skills at the plate, something that will improve with more at-bats, either collegiately or professionally.


Bobby Witt Jr., SS, Colleyville Heritage HS (Texas)
What is left for Bobby Witt Jr. to do at the high school level? The No. 1-ranked player in the country would probably find something that he is working on to improve because he takes nothing for granted. From his meticulous attention to detail in his pre-game warmups, fielding drills, and throwing routine, it is evident that he is always looking for a way to improve his skill set. Improving the physical side will not be easy because Witt possesses a low-90s arm from shortstop, he runs the 60 in the 6.4-second range and routinely has posted exit velocities over 100 mph and those areas are not simply made better.

Witt displayed a mature approach at the plate and a feel for barreling the baseball consistently. With four well hit balls on the night, Witt collected a triple in his second at-bat and a two-run home run in his final at-bat. With power to all parts of the park and the in-game ability to allow that power to play is not something that Witt is just now showing. After the game was settled, Witt had posted an astounding 30 extra-base hits on the season, in only 89 at-bats. If the saying some guys were born to hit is true, then he fits that description well.

Defensively, Witt plays with great feel for the speed of the game. He has a great inner clock to know when to speed things up and when to slow them down. Showing range and quickness in all directions, he made a great play on the run, charging a chopper and firing a dart from the side with surgeon-like precision to end an inning. However, seeing the effort he puts into being in the right place at the right time is not common among his high school peers, and it appears that it is something that he takes pride in doing. Witt’s physical skills will have him taken extremely early in the draft this June, but the overall package far outweighs what he brings to the field in just a physical sense.

Evan Fitterer, RHP, Aliso Niguel HS (Calif.)
Fitterer fits the perfect mold of a prep righthander: he's lean and athletic with tons of room to fill out with a lightning quick arm. The UCLA signee stays over the rubber with the back side and really drives off his lower half. Fitterer slides in to the first base side of the rubber with a slight stride towards right hand hitter. The fastball worked up to 94 mph and sat mostly in the 90-92 mph range with consistent cutting action. It looks like he throws two breaking balls with the slider showing some length to it with slurvy shape at 80-82 mph while the curveball has some overlap in velocity and comes in just a tick slower on lower end at 79-81 mph with more downer action. He flashed a changeup to lefthanded hitter at 82 mph with downer action that he could throw more. Fitterer allowed just one walk and nine strikeouts in complete game effort, as he garnered little hard contact and a lot of ground balls.




Michael Davinni, IF, Aliso Niguel HS (Calif.)
Davinni has a strong and muscular frame, especially in lower half. He has a presence in the box and takes some big boy hacks at the baseball. Showing a pretty good approach, he is willing to take a walk and looks for balls to drive. There is some swing and miss, but that's not atypical given his power profile. Davinni is more of a three true outcomes guy in this look with a walk, home run and a strikeout against Trabuco Hills. 




Chris Grothues, LHP, Servite HS (Calif.)
Grothues is a thin lefty with a low slot and side-arm action that gave No. 1-ranked Orange Lutheran hitters fits, especially the lefthanded hitters. The fastball worked mostly 79-82 mph that he kept on the black and he featured a mid- to upper-60s frisbee slider that buckled lefty hitters as the pitch often started at their hip or even behind them. Grothues offered more than just funk and deception showing great poise and executing his pitches and he pitched out of multiple jams. He threw seven shutout innings against one of the top teams in the country.




Evan Adolphus, RHP, Orange Lutheran HS (Calif.)
Adolphus is a big, physical righty and came out of the 'pen and got the win for Orange Lutheran in an extra inning victory against Servite. He shows excellent feel for a changeup at 84-85 mph that he pitched off of early in his 2 2/3 innings of work as the pitch showing very good downward action and fade. The fastball worked at 88-91 mph, touching 92 mph, showing more control for the pitch than command. He mixed in a slider at 75-78 mph with the best offerings coming at higher velocities. Adolphus is a Fullerton commit.




Johnathan Guzman, RHP, Orange Lutheran HS (Calif.)
A SDSU commit, Guzman has a rhythmic delivery with high leg kick and direct stride to the plate. The arm works well with a deep arm circle in back. The fastball worked at 87-89 mph touching 90 that he worked around the zone well. The breaking ball came at 79 mph, firmer and tighter than most of the other offerings at 75-77 mph and slurvier, as it feels like the pitch will evolve into a true slider in time. His change gets good downward action at 74-75 mph.

Cam Wagoner, RHP, Tecumseh HS (Mich.)
Long viewed in the Midwest region as an intriguing projection arm, Eastern Michigan signee Cameron Wagoner has generated a bit of draft buzz this spring. A long, lean, highly-projectable righthander, Wagoner combines an interesting mix of components on the mound that give him pretty quality upside.

His size certainly works in his favor, as he has long limbs and plenty of room to continue filling out physically both through his torso and his lower half. There’s a fair bit of operational concern right now, given that Wagoner’s delivery is very raw and the arm action very long and offline, but the arm speed stands out and scouts are pretty much in unison in the belief that he has a chance to throw pretty hard one day. He has pretty substantial effort to the delivery through release, landing hard and closed off, and that extra efforty rotation to get his arm through does inhibit the command profile.

Wagoner's fastball worked in the 88-91 mph range for the majority of the start, flashing solid average life to the arm side at times. He generates good angle to the plate, especially to the glove side, and while the fastball command was loose he did do a good job of throwing strikes. He was overpowering with the pitch at times and was able to work it up and down to good effect. His curveball has taken strides forward, flashing solid average at times with good downer shape and some bite. The consistency of the pitch came and went somewhat, but he’s definitely improved both the quality and the consistency of his spin profile. He also flashed a changeup a few times that is a distant third pitch at this time.

Wagoner has upside and has the size, arm speed, athleticism and projection that scouts like when evaluating pitchers. He’s a solid day three prospect for the MLB Draft right now, though it seems likely that he’ll end up at Eastern Michigan, where he could be one of the top freshmen prospects in the MAC next season.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes

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...

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...

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...
