2022 High School Scout Blog: Edition 4

. @PBR_Uncommitted ‘23 OF Aiden Robbins (@HGPBaseball) just went large for a no-doubter to left and bat flip.

The sub-7.00 runner projects to handle a middle of the order role with some twitch present. 6-1, 175lb frame.

Solo shot. 1-0 Holy Ghost T1 | @AidenRobbins10 pic.twitter.com/q8q51LLo4t

‘23 CF/leadoff hitter Joey Gale (@WoodVikingsBSBL) evens things up with a loud RBI double off the base of the fence.

Compact strength in a powerful 5-11, 190lb build and moves well for his size. @RutgersBaseball commit is now 2/2 on QAB’s.

1-1 B3 with Wood threatening. pic.twitter.com/PieGk7rqdD

‘22 3B/RHP Michael Trommer (@WoodVikingsBSBL) keeps the hands back on an offspeed pitch & gets on the board with a single in the middle innings.

Controls the barrel through the zone extremely well. @Bucknell_BB recruit had 17 extra-base hits last season. @MichaelTrommer4 pic.twitter.com/j9RTAAjJg6

#Uncommitted ‘22 LHP Justin MacCain (@WoodVikingsBSBL) went 4.2 innings of one-run ball in the win with good command of the outside corner.

Liked to run the FB at times, mixing a couple mid-70’s CH and a slurvey 67-68 mph breaker. Attacked hitters from OTT slot, T81 mph. pic.twitter.com/C8m7U0i2r6

‘23 @USFBaseball RHP Matt Goldenbaum (@HGPBaseball) battling less than ideal conditions.

Just got done snowing, but a lively FB still coming out well. Athletic delivery and leverage down the slope. 2IP, 3K, H. Much more to come.

FB: 86-87, T88
CB: 72-75, sharp@matt22112395 pic.twitter.com/kZfnmsvnsW

‘24 1B/LHP Tague Davis (@MPFriarBaseball) landed first overall in today’s state rankings drop.

Country strong at 6-3, 210lbs and slows the game down with heavy contact out in front. Loose operation, barrel, RBI single. @LouisvilleBSB recruit.

1-0 Malvern T1 | @ShooterHunt pic.twitter.com/iTKPVVwWqU

‘23 @GamecockBasebll RHP Eddie Copper (@GAPatsBaseball) showing some composure.

Natural sink action and a workhorse frame that screams durability. A couple errors undoing him, but the strike thrower held velo into the 4th.

FB: 88-90
SNK: 86-88
SL: 76-77
CH: 79-81@prepbaseball pic.twitter.com/UQBGJeFDyu

In one of the bigger AB’s of the game, ‘24 OF Tripp Capers (@GAPatsBaseball) laces a 2-strike single to put the Patriots in business.

Premium athlete that covers ground and has been down as low as 6.48 this summer. Came around to score on a double steal of home. @TrippCaper pic.twitter.com/aWSNoNw92z

‘23 SS Aidan Zakarewicz (@GAPatsBaseball) with another two-hit day (2B/1B). Great body control in the load and bat-speed on the front side.

Still working back to full strength from a torn labrum, too. @XavierBASE commit is a true gamer. @AZakarewicz pic.twitter.com/RlTSjkCDMa

That’s 4 scoreless now for ‘23 RHP Charlie Oschell (@MPFriarBaseball / @UVABaseball).

Reaching down into the glove from a tall release with plenty of shoulder tilt. The story has been a much improved low-70’s curveball getting whiffs.

‘25 CF Ajonte Bullock (@GburgBaseball3) collecting his second hit of the day on a CB.

The multi-sport star stands 6-1, 165lbs with upside at the plate. Good look at the fast hands and burst available. Ranked 3rd in the class. @prepbaseball | @ajbullock6 pic.twitter.com/viWhgH4kEC

‘23 @Pitt_BASE 3B Bryce Rudisill (@GburgBaseball3) owns the box with a physical stature.

Slight uphill path through the zone and lifted finish. Unloaded on a foul ball HR that went 360+ feet before this loud flyout to the warning track. @brycerudisill pic.twitter.com/KBmzyAPQnA

‘24 SS/3B Luke Costello (@Prep_Ramblers/@WakeBaseball commit) hits a big league fly ball to the warning track and legs out a 3B. Costello matured PHYS big time over the off season. Oozes strength and bat speed. pic.twitter.com/Sd57rbR5nu

‘23 RHP Jonathan Albers (Corry Area) sitting 81-83 MPH in the first with loose actions in the arm. More left in the tank. Snaps a big, slow breaking CB off at 69-71. Flashed a CH a couple times at 75-76 MPH. Intriguing arm to follow pic.twitter.com/aXwzBlxXTK

‘23 OF/RHP John Koshan (@Prep_Ramblers) wastes no time sitting on a breaking ball and scorching this ball into left field. Big leg kick with some barrel whip. Lifts at the end of the swing to yield lifted line drives like this one here pic.twitter.com/74HgryWJSe

‘23 C/OF Cole Constable (@Prep_Ramblers/@TerpsBaseball commit) goes big fly over the left field wall to extend the Ramblers lead to 11. Constable’s swing has evolved over the years from a contact hitter to a legitimate power threat pic.twitter.com/qROAQ40rUh

First look at ‘24 SS Casey Westerburg (Lower Dauphin) following his solid showing at the #PSASEast. 6’0”, 170-lb sophomore jump started the offense early with this back side double. pic.twitter.com/GN8VSWFHJq

Lots to like from the performance of ‘23 OF/RHP Ellis Snow (Lower Dauphin). Commands the FB (83-84, T85) well to the arm side. Also showed confidence in a BB (71-72) & an occasional CH 77-78. Athletic two-way prospect. pic.twitter.com/ceJJaX4Z0i

‘23 SS Nolan Groff (@crestbaseball) looks the part standing in at 6’2”, 180-lbs. The lead off hitter is athletic in the box getting the game started here with an oppo double. pic.twitter.com/LUYBdgAJV7

‘22 3B Evan Krall (@crestbaseball) with a solid piece of hitting staying inside a BB to drive a 2B to the opposite field gap. Shows above average strength in his 5’9”, 175-lb frame. pic.twitter.com/URMaHX4deG

‘24 C Owen Fisher (@CVBuckskins) drives a pitch for a 2B off the CF fence. 6’1”, 170-lb sophomore shows strength in the lower half & a direct swing path. pic.twitter.com/lXKyRRjBV3

‘22 RHP Bailey Wagner (@crestbaseball) has continued to lower his team leading ERA early working around some baserunners by effectively changing speeds & staying down in the zone. Upper 60s BB with sweeping action has been his most effective pitch leading to soft contact. pic.twitter.com/33VhUYMOB0

23’ RHP Justin Spencer Greater Nanticoke Area uncommitted competed in the zone with fastball and breaking ball.

#uncommitted 2023 LHP/OF/1B Reese Acord (⁦⁦@HGPBaseball⁩) goes oppo here for the Ground Rule 2B.

2022 @PaxtonKling, @PBRPennsylvania's #1 prospect in PA, #7 ranked national prospect, hitting a missile to right center. The @LSUbaseball commit showing all the tools today- he can run, hit (97, 91 exit velo's first 2 AB's), & play CF! He's a lot of fun to watch@CHSdragonpride pic.twitter.com/T2grXVEm7i

2024 Nate Whysong (@CR_Lions) has some serious raw tools! Was 89-91 in a long 1st inning, SL up to 79. Very raw, esp from stretch (down about 2mph in the stretch), but this is a really good young arm! Listed at 6'3" 170, ton of upside here. @FloodCityElite #shapethestate pic.twitter.com/zn7RM31IF0

#uncommitted 2023 Jeff Hoenstine (@CHSdragonpride, PBR's #100 prospect in PA) making solid contact here vs upper-80s arm. Excellent 2-sport athlete (highly recruited FB QB also). Playing SS today too and showing solid D tools there. @jeffhoenstine2 pic.twitter.com/0hOHixD9zk
