Arkansas Scout Blog: Week 1 Games
March 6, 2024
The Arkansas Scouting Blog provides insider information and scouting notes from the PBR Staff during the season. This running blog will feature information on underclass prospects, unsigned seniors, draft prospects, and anything else that is notable. We will provide a wide range of information, including player evaluations, velocities, pop times, home to first times, and more.
Will Leslie, a recent East Arkansas Open ID participant, showed in-game feel with a secondary pitch. The projectable right-hander will continue to see his velocity climb as the weather warms up.

Long athletic arm action , + feel for the slider , using it to keep hitters off balance late in counts.

Owen Roach is one of the more polished bats in his class, and we saw him most recently in the winter at the East Arkansas Open ID. Roach continues to get stronger and translate his advanced bat to ball in the game.

Jake Taylor is one of the top arms in his class as he pounds the zone with a three-pitch mix that keeps hitters off balance. After all-state honors last year, Taylor will be a main piece to Rogers's success this season.

Jake Taylor picks up where he left off last season with a great opening day outing.
FB: 79-81 T83 ASR
CB: 72-74 : 12/6 shape, thrown in all counts.
CH: 69-72 : induced S&M along with GB’s
A true future 3-pitch mix. #PBRisthere pic.twitter.com/2Md7hVvSNt
Eli McCall just hits. With a consistent approach and knack for finding the barrel, Eli showed why on opening night against one of the top arms in the 6A West.

One of the best offensive players in the state is off to a hot start, going 3-4 w/ a 2B and 2 singles for Bentonville. High IQ hitter with a great season ahead. #PBRisthere pic.twitter.com/T17IRNkshr
Linson is a two-way threat for the Mountaineers. Later in the game, Aidan came in to get the save for Rogers to hold off Bentonville.
‘25 | INF | Aidan Linson | @BaseballMountie
— PBR Arkansas (@PBR_Arkansas) February 27, 2024
Linson pushes across Rogers’ first runs of the 2024 season w/ an RBI single to left. Rogers scored 3 in the first with efficient AB’s. #PBRisthere pic.twitter.com/YqRfXYZjxy
