‘22 OF Grant Dowden (Ligonier Valley / Iron Horse) gets the scoring started at #PBRLimitedSeries. Ambushes a plus count FB and drives an RBI 1B to deep CF. Liked the aggressiveness in the box & rhythm at the plate. pic.twitter.com/BwaQGF88hU

Really like what I’m seeing from ‘22 RHP Michael Kitko (Moshannon Valley) in the 1️⃣st. Held 81-83 mph getting downhill plane out of a fluid, whippy arm-slot. Advanced feel for a sharp 69-71 mph CB showing s&m. 76 CH as well. 2️⃣ K’s in a smooth inning of work. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/Z0RffNs1sc

'21 RHP Chandler Ho (DuBois Area) showing the ability to command his fastball early topping at 81 mph. Also flipping in an 11/5 BB at 66/67 in any count for the @northeasttwins. #PBRLIMITEDSERIES @T_Wills1 @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/gdXWWMbuAl

‘21 RHP/OF Ryan Terrizzi (State College / @FloodCityElite T81 in his first inning of work out of a high effort OTT arm-slot with present arm-side run. Long out in front on the extension; mostly pitched from behind so far & has yet to feature an offspeed pitch. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/4d1EfuLbID
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Came away impressed with '22 6'2", 225-lb 1B Wes Parker (Peters Township) two weeks ago in the @FloodCityElite tournament. Consistently finds barrels & shows athleticism in the box. #PBRLimitedSeries @T_Wills1 @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/AWiySbtK0I
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
(Bishop Guilfoyle / @FloodCityElite) ‘21 Austin Lewis blew me away w/ top notch command & an 81-83 mph T84 FB out of an easy H 3/4 slot. 85% strikes so far in 2️⃣ innings of work w/ plus SL at 77-78 showing late, deceptive depth which hasn’t been put in play yet. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/y7pk7KJgSY
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
‘21 C Cy Probst (Central Mountain) plays the game with his pants on fire & has been getting rewarded for it. Hard single up the middle to get things started for @FloodCityElite & great jump here for a stolen base. Liked him. @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/rawQe6KFYy
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
5'11", 210-lb '22 catcher Thomas Nicely (Franklin Regional) flashing a little bit of backside pop on this double for @Go_Team_AA. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @T_Wills1 pic.twitter.com/h0xnDTZOnf
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
Very intrigued by ‘22 SS Connor Tunstall (Ligonier Valley). Plays the game at a quick pace defensively (4.0 sec) & just turned a sweet 6-U double play where he stepped on bag & jumped over runner in one motion while throwing. Goes w/ a FB here for single. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/FrMR4rrXC5
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Lots to like from 6', 150-lb '22 SS Joe Fiedor (Hempfield Area). Follows up an outstanding defensive play in the top of the inning with this 2B to left. Plenty of athleticism & fast-twitch actions in his game. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @T_Wills1 pic.twitter.com/iAZePfUoUV
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
Nice at bats all day from ‘21 MIF Corbin Kalp (Richland / @FloodCityElite). Stays on a CB here & goes backside for an RBI 2B. Adjustable / athletic in the box & generates plenty of quality plate appearances. Lean 5’10 / 150 lb frame. #PBRLimitedSeries @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/BvwJ9gOOQk
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
5’10/ 145 lb ‘21 LHP Danny Eden (Twin Valley) sitting 80-81 mph in the 1️⃣st with plus command on the outside corner. Arm works clean thru throwing window w/ feel for a slurve in the 66-67 mph range for s&m. Can drop in 72 CH as well; pitchability is there. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/czs18MnGJk
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Love to see hitters who have a feel for approach in the box. ‘21 SS Brady Bedway (Blue Mountain) certainly falls in that category. Swinging a hot stick; hard 1B thru the left side here for an RBI single & @KSBombers get the scoring started in game 2️⃣ of #PBRLimitedSeries. pic.twitter.com/dOPLCc40r7
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
'22 RHP Ryan Hood (Derry Area) is sitting 82-84 early with a short takeaway & a quick arm swing. Also showing some feel for his BB at 64-66. Physical 6'4", 220-lb frame. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/wxeMuBJtFk
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
‘21 3B Aidan Sturtevant (Cocalico) has inserted himself into the “high follow” tier over the last year w/ multiple improvements across the board. Physical 6-1 / 180 with athleticism that plays (7.13 60-yard). Swings it; 94 bat-exit down the line for 2️⃣. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/COcZgZlnN0
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Fiedor keeps finding barrels during quality at bats. Here he jumps all over a FB that results in a line out. pic.twitter.com/f6SoxSPSeL
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
Big fan of ‘21 C Jake Stasyk (Perkiomen Valley / @parebels). Above average receiver; has already stolen 2️⃣ strike calls in two innings of work behind the plate. Present flexibility in the crouch utilizing a one-knee receiving technique. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/EprP8q8KEI
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
'22 catcher Nico Eremic (Serra Catholic) with a 2 run bomb for @Go_Team_AA. The compact 5'9", 195-pounder does not get cheated in the box. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @T_Wills1 #PBRBombSquad pic.twitter.com/Jz6hyoAhmk
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
‘21 Steven Rinda (Pottsgrove / @parebels) takes a FB on the outside corner and drives a deep flyball to RF, which was caught at the warning track. Athleticism & feel at the plate, #PBRLimitedSeries. pic.twitter.com/d8gzAS5ybI
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Now on the mound, Rinda has been up to T83, holding 81-82 mph out of an up-tempo, high 3/4 arm-slot. Mixed sharp 68-69 mph CB. Pounds the zone & challenges hitters, projects better on the mound moving forward ⬇️?. #PBRLimitedSeries @GregWilliamsPBR. pic.twitter.com/6ZryBfhhC8
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
I’m very high on @parebels ‘21 MIF Avery Spencer (Pottsgrove). Hard double in his first at bat and squares another one up here for a single through the right side. Competes and takes what’s given to him at the plate. Hands work well, #PBRLimitedSeries. pic.twitter.com/FZskMfPvx0
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
'23 OF Brook Williamson (Forrest Hills) is a good looking young prospect. The 5'9", 170-pounder has put together several nice ABs today. Stays short to the baseball & gets out of the box well. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/B3vWF4my0r
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
‘21 MIF Riley Thomas (Dallastown / @KSBombers) is a high level hitter who finds barrels at will. 3️⃣ quality at bats so far & inside-outs one here for a shot through the right side, his second knock of the day. Athletic and always on time at the plate. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/w3iwcVGawT
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
All eyes should be on ‘21 OF Kyle Musser (Manheim Township / @KSBombers).. Measurables are off the charts; 6.54 laser-timed 60, 101 bat-exit velocity per @TrackManBB. All over one here and gets robbed of extra bases at the wall. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/zy32rau3KG
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
‘21 RHP Ryan Redmond (Haverford School / @parebels) sitting 79-81 T82 mph in a projectable 6’3 / 162 lb frame. Gets slight downhill tilt & mixes a 70-71 mph CB off the outside corner. Hitters have had a tough time laying off. #PBRLimitedSeries @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/8JrFyQoxiO
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Beautiful piece of hitting from ‘22 3B Brycen Dinkfelt (Dubois Area / @northeasttwins). Laces a bases loaded line drive to RF only to be robbed of extra bases on a diving catch. Good looking 6’2 / 195 lb prospect. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/cGKmk2mb1o
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Chartiers Valley ‘22 LHP Drew Evans (@recruit_wh) is starting to settle in in his 2️⃣nd inning of work. Pitching backwards w/ advanced feel for spin on a 65-66 mph slurve (seen below ⬇️) allowing T78 mph FB to play up in velo. Consistently in the zone. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/sywJCuubQk
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
6', 165-lb '21 RHP Rodney Shultz (Tyrone) is dealing. Sitting 82-84, T85 from 2 arm slots. BB is a high spin, late breaker with tilt at 72-74. Really attacks kitters. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @T_Wills1 @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/l9ggmJzpcl
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
'21 LHP Colton Book (@BaronMCBaseball), a @StonyBrookBASE recruit, has added additional velo to his fastball. Sitting 84-86 early today while bumping 87-88. Still shows advanced command & a feel for spin. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @T_Wills1 @KSBombers pic.twitter.com/5hq1Q3I2ch
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
‘22 C Jakub Obman (Moniteau) is 5-10 / 220 lb & is well proportioned. Swings the heck out of it w/ advanced power in lower half & a short time to contact. Really like the potential down the line as a middle of the order bat; 94 mph bat-exit per @TrackManBB #PBRLimitedSeries. pic.twitter.com/KoOL8GDM0O
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Wow‼️ Look at this throw on the money from ‘21 OF Nicholas Slater (Avonworth / @recruit_wh) to keep the opposition off the board. Big time play showing off legitimate feel at his position. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/3euYO0o4Id
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
‘22 OF Colin Elias (Moon Area / @recruit_wh) has had an overall perfect day at the yard. Diving catch in the first w/ full extension & doubled off runner at 1st. Stroked a line drive to RF in first at bat, stolen base here. Total package; #PBRLimitedSeries @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/0cL5ltiX2L
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
6'0", 160-lb '21 RHP Seth Coleman (Ferndale Area) generates present velo with a whippy, fluid arm swing. Slider at 75-77 plays well off the FB that sits 82-84, T86. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/Cvzewud2lk
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
The actions of ‘22 OF Shane Thompson (Slippery Rock / @northeasttwins) have played extremely well so far. Three barrels & 2️⃣ hits during game action including this one here where he drops the bat head on one down in the zone. ⬆️ level approach in the box. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/SsP8TOueee
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
6-1 / 175 lb RHP/OF Ethan Tinker (Avonworth) impressed w/ three hits for @recruit_wh and sprayed line drives to all fields.

— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
‘21 C Noah Osborn (Avonworth / @recruit_wh) has stood out behind the dish w/ a 2.10 pop time on the bag between innings. Commands the pitching staff & has shown leadership qualities in game. 94 mph bat-exit velocity per @TrackManBB. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/Wb9q6Dir8U
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Intriguing arm ? .. ‘22 RHP Ethan Tinker (Avonworth / @recruit_wh) T82, holding 79-81 mph in the first w/ slight downhill play on the FB. Also getting s&m above the belt. Commanding a sharp 66-68 mph CB which looks like a sure-fire out pitch moving forward. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/tXUzkxCU3o
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
6',, 185-lb uncommitted '21 catcher Gehrig Fleming (West Chester Rustin) is a polished catch & throw receiver, but he can also swing it. All over this pitch to left, but just foul. #PBRLimitedSeries @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/D3UmQR5w6c
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
Look at the speed from ‘22 OF Nathan Brestensky (Keystone Oaks / @recruit_wh) getting down the line. 4.27 from the right side & just made an impressive running catch w/ a quality first step to steal away extra bases. Gamer; #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/JzSUBDN5O8
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
6', 162-lb uncommitted '21 RHP Collin Breiner (West Chester Rustin) sitting 83-85 in 1st inning of work. Long & athletic frame looks to be far from fully developed. FB has riding life & slder shows promise at 75-77. Additional velo spikes should come quickly. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/ge3nUbWQ2D
— Greg Williams (@GregWilliamsPBR) July 17, 2020
‘23 SS Brody Roberts (Forest Hills / @FloodCityElite) is a competitor in the box. Was down 0-2 and fought back to full before staying on this pitch & lining an RBI single to LF. Finds barrels and oddly reminds me of another LHH I know, @GregWilliamsPBR. #PBRLimitedSeries pic.twitter.com/3X5bZR9KMb
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
Impressed w/ the movement patterns of ‘23 1B Brook Williamson (@FloodCityElite / Forest Hills). Athletic in the box & utilizes the ground well allowing for hard barrels to either gap. Stroked a double earlier, lineout featured here. #PBRLimitedSeries @GregWilliamsPBR pic.twitter.com/J2vv6E0xmv
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
‘21 RHP Nicholas Slater (Avonworth / @recruit_wh) catches a line shot right back through the middle & doubles up the runner at first for 2️⃣. Got the crowd fired up heading into the bottom of the 7th all tied up at #PBRLimitedSeries. Wow‼️ @GregWilliamsPBR @DanCevette pic.twitter.com/r0d8eTdDsO
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 17, 2020
