‘23 MIF/C Aiden Balogh (Girard) uses a leg hang load with a short swing with his hands tight to his body. Inside outs a line drive here to right center. Long frame with long levers. Proj body @PBRPennsylvania pic.twitter.com/JsFLfX3UhJ
— Zach Guth (@Zach_Guth23) April 13, 2021
‘23 INF/OF Brett Galcik pieces together a good at bat here. Quality plate discipline with the ability to throw the barrel out and poke a line shot through the 6 hole. Proceeded to swipe second on the next pitch. ADV athleticism pic.twitter.com/0YBboc9TWw
— Zach Guth (@Zach_Guth23) April 14, 2021
‘22 Joe Fazzone (Hickory) 6-foot-2, 200lbs; durable, strong frame. Gets his hands extended and attacks an elevated FB early. Quiet presence in the box with a small stride forward. Work horse athlete on the hardwood too pic.twitter.com/KGIC6a6wbj

SO Eli Moon (@HCSDAthletics)
— Max Schrantz (@max_schrantz) April 13, 2021
Has some physicality in the frame. Level bat path through the hitting zone. Creates lift hitting the ball out in front. Hard line drive to CF. @PBRPennsylvania pic.twitter.com/Rb6kS0qecF
We got a WALK OFF in the 8th at @BishopMcDevitt .. 2021 Chris Rosa (@McDBaseball1) makes the most of the opportunity.. Simple approach, flat barrel, strength to the gaps.. @prepbaseball pic.twitter.com/LQEjY6zRKL
— Dan Cevette (@DanCevette) April 14, 2021
Enjoyed watching 2022 MIF Mario Easterly (@McDBaseball1) .. highly athletic, easy raw juice to his pullside, was serviceable on the mound as well sitting 79-81.. I hear he's pretty legit on the gridiron ?as well.. ✊ @BishopMcDevitt @PBRPennsylvania pic.twitter.com/hF2T2sXBW4
— Dan Cevette (@DanCevette) April 14, 2021
2021 3B Colin Lloyd (@herdbaseballchs) had a nice at-bat here for Carlisle. Sturdy frame, loose hands, barrel is slightly uphill at contact.. pic.twitter.com/HSe1MybSrf
— Dan Cevette (@DanCevette) April 14, 2021
2022 RHP James Anderson (@McDBaseball1) has worked 3 scoreless frames.. lean-lanky build, back arm-swing, 3/4 slot, feel for a 11/5 CB, 79-82 FB.. @BishopMcDevitt pic.twitter.com/O6NNRJOC78

2022 MIF Thomas Davenport (@herdbaseballchs) hits one on the screws in his fist AB.. simple approach, no stride, compact path, hard-line drive to 3rd.. pic.twitter.com/45ty7u4HxS
— Dan Cevette (@DanCevette) April 14, 2021
It’s very easy to see the positive attributes from ‘21 MIF Sam Cohen (@NPKnights). Played w/ his pants on fire and extreme grittiness all day; two diving plays to take away hits DEF & put the barrel on the ball twice at the plate. Robbed here of a walkoff hit by ‘21 Tony Rossi. pic.twitter.com/uO5YdewnGd
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) April 17, 2021
'23 2B Riley McGallicher stays hot driving a ball over the left fielder's head to drive in 2. Second hit of the day for the sophomore. Short, compact swing finds lots of barrels. pic.twitter.com/uKNMHTTZBZ
— PBR Pennsylvania (@PBRPennsylvania) April 13, 2021
A sac fly from DH Ethan Cohen (@NPKnights) & all of a sudden it’s a tie 2-2 game headed ⬇️7 in Lansdale.

Athletic catcher has shown above average ability to catch&throw?
Nails the ?♂️ trying to swipe second here in the ⬆️3rd
He followed that up with an RBI single in the ⬇️ of the inning to put his team up 1️⃣??#bootsontheground ?#beseen pic.twitter.com/gkOZe3L6Be
‘21 RHP Alec Englemore@Shaler_Baseball
— Andrew Kowalo (@kowalobear126) April 13, 2021
Makes a great play to record the second out of the inning?
FB up to 85 and a breaking ball around 70. Smooth and easy mechanics all him to be repeatable✅#bootsontheground ? pic.twitter.com/KJKupAfuhj
Big fly off the bat of ‘23 OF/RHP @Miguel_Hugas ?
— Andrew Kowalo (@kowalobear126) April 13, 2021
His 3rd XBH of the day??
The 6’3 180lber has swung it well from the LH side today#bootsontheground? pic.twitter.com/fKm072mQs6
‘21 RHP Chase Lautner
— Andrew Kowalo (@kowalobear126) April 14, 2021
(Thomas Jefferson)
Works a clean first inning against @PetersTwpSports
FB sitting 83-85 & mixing in a CV 72-74. Simple & clean mechanics, pitches with confidence❗️
Under the radar kind of guy?#bootsontheground ?#beseen pic.twitter.com/pH7JilKz7y
‘21 RHP Mark Stover
— Andrew Kowalo (@kowalobear126) April 14, 2021
(@TJHSBaseball)
6’4 High Waisted hurler has been working a solid FB/SLV combo here in relief.
FB 82-84 plays out of a low effort & smooth arm swing.
SLV 74-75 out of same are slot, has has hitters guessing so far tonight.#bootsontheground ?#beseen pic.twitter.com/7RvfIJsaHT

Solid approach here by ‘22 3B Nathan Vidmar shortens up here with 2K to line a ball into CF for a Sac Fly.
— Andrew Kowalo (@kowalobear126) April 12, 2021
The 6’3 225 lb CIF has a large frame and athletic movements in the field. pic.twitter.com/6tNWf2qx22
‘22 SS Jack Bateman (@ACBaseball1967) certainly looks the part in the middle. Controlled, rhythmic defender & arrives on-time w/ the left foot at the fielding window. Understanding for pace, posture, & fluidity (always kept the feet moving). Will be one to watch. @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/SBmjGjCqCh
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) April 12, 2021
#Uncommitted ‘21 MIF Kyle Daugherty (@RLBaseballPA) entered action hitting at a .545 clip w/ 3 XBH (two triples & an ITPHR last week). Extremely twitchy athlete (6-foot, 155 lbs) w/ +avg barrel awareness. Laser 2B to start off the 8th. ?@prepbaseball @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/F6z4Sjc62k
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) April 13, 2021
Big riser potential from ‘23 RHP Jason Kreiger (@RLBaseballPA). Came into the game w/ 13 K’s in 8.2 IP & missed plenty of barrels. “Gamer” type on the bump.
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) April 13, 2021
Tough low-3/4 slot w/ + command on the FB (82-83 mph). Worked off the outside corner primarily, pairing deceptive 68 SL.? pic.twitter.com/Tba5PSR6n0
‘21 righty @Gabem26G (@cbebaseball / @Arcadia_BASE) has found consistent success w/ +avg pitchability traits on the mound (3 wins, .197 BAA). Tunnels everything w/ the same arm speed, pitching off of the CB.

FB: 84-86, late ASR
