March 28, 2019
The Maryland High School Scouting Blog provides insider information and scouting notes from the PBR Staff. This running blog will feature information on a wide variety of uncommitted talent as well as updates on committed and ranked players, as well as draft prospect. We will provide a wide range of information, including player evaluations, velocity, pop times, home to first times, and more. This running blog is continuously updated throughout the high school season and then also throughout the year and you will see what boots-to-the-ground really means.
State Scout blogs are one of the most highly viewed pages on the PBR website. It is a tribute to our never ending quest of discovering talent across our area of coverage and our boots-to-the-ground approach to scouting.
So what is better than being in a scout blog? Having a PBR profile to connect you with. Find our next event near you.
Calvert Hall
Jose Torres SS Calvert Hall 2019 North Carolina State
Torres struggled at the plate in this one, getting himself out on some bad pitches. Showed some rhythm and looseness at the plate with a controlled leg kick. Showed speed down the line to first base and smooth actions at shortstop. Eager to get back out and watch him again.
Pete Marchineck LHP Calvert Hall 2019
The 6'5'' lefty continues to impress on the mound following a big summer season. Side-step wind-up and high leg kick into a tall compact balance point. Hides the ball extremely well throughout delivery throwing with short arm action from a low-mid three-quarters slot. Lands square to home plate with an athletic finish. Fastball sat 85-87 mph, change-up was 81-84 mph, and breaking ball showed some sweeping 1/7 action at 73-76 mph.
Parker Landwehr C Calvert Hall 2019 Boston College
The number one ranked catcher in our 2019 class was impressive at the plate in today's scrimmage. Landwehr is physically imposing in the box and showed present power in his swing. He showed some rhythm in his set-up and used a small leg kick to create nice hand separation and timing. Stays behind the ball very well with a short uphill swing path and quick bat speed. Doubled down the left field line for an RBI and drove one out to center-field that was hit on the screws.
Lamar King C Calvert Hall 2022
Physical 6'3'', 190 pound frame with present power. Advanced approach at the plate showing patience and the ability to battle and fight off pitches. Grinded to a full count before smoking a ball up around the letters that one-hoped the fence in left-center field for a 2-RBI double. Controlled leg kick and excellent hand separation. Attacks the baseball with intent and showed nice extension through contact. Big time prospect to jump on now in the 2022 class.
Dulaney
Todd Mozoki RHP/1B Dulaney 2021
Long, lanky uncommitted 2021 with a live arm. Fastball sat 85-87 mph in his first outing of the season with a 80-82 mph change-up and 72-73 mph breaking ball with gradual 11/5 shape. Controlled side-step wind-up and delivery with some down to out lower half drive. Lands square to the plate with a more upright finish. Long, loose arm action creating quick arm speed through release. Throws from a low-to-mid three-quarters slot with easy effort.
Bryce Frederick SS Dulaney 2019 Radford
Smooth fielding shortstop that can really swing it. Showed rhythm in his swing with some hand separation bat speed. Short stride and short, slightly uphill swing path. Doubled in the first inning out to left field and ripped another down the third base line for a base-hit.
Loyola-Blakefield
Matthew Wyatt RHP Loyola-Blakefield 2019 Virginia
Controlled wind-up into a tall balance position. Glides downhill with a smooth delivery with strong lower half drive off the rubber. Long, loose, whippy arm action throwing from a mid three-quarters slot. Creates fast arm speed through release with good extension and some effort. Lands slightly open to the plate with a strong athletic finish. Fastball showed nasty late arm-side run at 90-93 and touched 94 mph. Breaking ball was hard at 82-84 mph with sharp 11/5 break.
Nate Beal RHP Loyola-Blakefield 2020 Pennsylvania
Controlled side-step wind-up and high leg kick into a compact balance point with a quarter turn. Up-tempo delivery with a strong down-to-out lower half drive. Lands square to the plate and gets over front side well with a strong, athletic finish. Pitches downhill with long arm action and quick arm speed. Throws from a high three-quarter arm slot with regular effort. Fastball sat 84-86 mph with slight arm side run and breaking ball had tight spin and sharp 11/5 break at 73-76 mph.
Dominic Dinoto SS Loyola-Blakefield 2020 Army
Extremely quick leadoff hitter for the Dons. Starts from a balanced, athletic, slightly open stance with bat head resting on back shoulder. Stays short to the ball with a very compact and extremely quick slightly uphill swing. Fast hands and stays behind the ball well with excellent balance in the box and good extension through contact. Ripped a single through the left side and tripled into the left-center field gap for an RBI. Collected a couple stolen bases on the day with his speed. Showed smooth, clean actions at shortstop on a couple plays as well.
James M. Bennett
Brett Swift 3B James M. Bennett 2019
Uncommitted 2019 that really swings it, fields his position, and can run some for his size at 6'3'', 215 lbs. Present power at the plate hitting from a balanced, open stance at the plate. Uses a leg kick to load and creates nice hand separation. Stays behind the ball well and showed good balance throughout his swing. Gets good extension and strong lower half. Beat out a routine ground ball to third base, drove a sac-fly oppo to right-center field, and ripped a line drive single to left field. Understands counts and really like his approach.
Aaron Combs RHP James M. Bennett 2020
Solid frame at 6'1'', 195 pounds and strong lower half. Controlled side-step wind-up into a compact balance point. Down to out lower half drive and smooth delivery landing square to the plate with an athletic finish. Throws with shorter arm action from a mid three-quarters arm slot with regular effort. Fastball sat 81-82 mph and touched 83 mph with slight arm-side run. Breaking ball had tight spin and sharp, late 11/5 break at 69-72 mph.
Blake Corbin RHP/SS James M. Bennett 2019
Only got to see Corbin hit and play shortstop today. Made all the plays in the field with some rhythm. Lined one back up the middle for a two-RBI single. Hits from a balanced, square stance and creates some hand separation with a longer stride length. Showed quick bat speed and hands getting to pitches all over the zone. Level swing path and stays behind the ball well.
