It was my first trip to Delaware this spring, as I was on site to see an intriguing matchup between St. George's Tech and Appoquinimink. Sophomore Logan Burns got the ball for St. George's Tech and junior Alex Epperly got the start for Appo. A back-and-forth affair saw St. George's Tech win it 4-3.

Appoquinimink struck first, as junior Austin Schurman came through with a big two-out RBI triple into deep left-center field to take an early 1-0 lead in the first. St. George's Tech would answer in the third to tie the game and eventually take the lead in the fourth after an overthrow on a bunt would score a run. In the fourth, Appo would respond with a two-RBI double off the bat of senior Matthew Novack to take a 3-2 lead. After STG tied the game on another error in the sixth, senior Nate Arterbridge produced an RBI bloop single to center field to take a 4-3 lead. Junior Garrett Overby came out of the bullpen to work three scoreless innings and slam the door.

 

 

Appoquinimink

 

Alex Epperly RHP / Appoquinimink (DE), MD / 2025 Unfortunately, the windscreen on the backstop did not allow video to get produced for Epperly, however, the actions on the bump certainly impressed throughout the outing. Got the start for Appo, working four innings, and giving up just one earned run while striking out three. It's an easy, loose operation with some arm speed through, mixing a three-pitch arsenal with scattered feel throughout. The fastball was up to 85 mph early and settled at 81-83 throughout the outing, showcasing arm-side feel with the ability to induce swing and miss at the top. The breaking ball shows some feel at the bottom of the zone, mixing in a changeup with some fade. It's an athletic arm with a ton to dream on as the body continues to fill.

Austin Schurman SS / Appoquinimink (DE), MD / 2025 I was impressed with the hit tool and approach from Schurman throughout the game. It's a long, lean frame with some strength present and plenty of room to fill out. The hands work loose with some quickness through, creating some natural backspin to the pull side. Went 1-4 with an RBI triple in the game.

 

St. George's Tech

Logan Burns RHP / St. Georges Technical High School, DE / 2026 Got the start for STG on the bump, working two innings, and giving up just one earned run while striking out three. Athletic mover with some controlled intent through, mixing the fastball/curveball mix in any count. The fastball works in the low 80s, topping out at 82 mph with some late life to the arm side. The curveball works with more 11/5 shape, playing well off the fastball and inducing swing and miss down and away to right-handed hitters. As the strength increases, look for velocity to tick up.

Nathan Arterbridge C / St. Georges Technical, DE / 2024 My first look at the Super60 alum this spring, and the swing looks stronger than ever. Finished the game 2-4 with an RBI. A relaxed setup with a controlled backload, the hands are consistently explosive with a slightly uphill path. A rhythmic, medium-sized leg kick load allows for the foot to get down on time, showcasing strong lower half involvement with plenty of torque in the hips. The barrel is loud and heavy with power upside to the pull side through the roof, creating backspin and lift to the left-center field gap consistently. Liked the actions behind the dish as well, showcasing quick feet and soft hands with above-average receiving skills.

Garrett Overby 3B / St. Georges Vo-tech , MD / 2025 The breakout performer on the night was certainly Overby, as the long right-hander came out of the bullpen and slammed the door on the Appo offense, working three scoreless innings and striking out four on 78% strikes. It's a smooth operation, consistent operation on the bump with controlled intent and a slightly closed finish. Present arm speed with some quickness through release also plays into the deception out of the closed finish and imposing frame. The fastball worked mostly arm-side at 85-87 mph, grabbing an 89 in his second inning of work with late life and some sink in to right-handed hitters. The ability to miss barrels was impressive, consistently pounding the zone and attacking hitters early in the count. The breaking ball showed multiple shapes at 74-76 mph and tended to back up, however, it did show some sweeping action down and away from right-handed hitters. This is an arm that is trending up quickly, and as the velocity continues to rise and the feel for the breaker increases, look for this to be a can't-miss arm over the bridge this spring.
