‘24 RHP/3B @sam_greer3 (@CBWestBaseball / @PA_Shockers) with noticeable oppo juice, staying over the plate well & whipping thru impact. Good top hand attributes and goes backside RBI double to push the Shockers lead to 3-0 T1. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/W3qrts03PH

‘24 3B/RHP @KrossHowarth (Methacton / @PA_Shockers) operating with loose arm action from a tough 3/4 slot. Whippy and hides it well w/ notable ATH on the hill. Settling in nicely after the first with two K.

‘24 RHP/3B Christian Clauss (@QuakersBaseball / @Banditsball) got into one for a long HR to CF. Leveraged approach from the right side in a proj 6-4, 180lb build that can hold more strength. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/CFf0osWt2D

Liked the work behind the dish from ‘24 C @JDiGregorio8 (Gill St. Bernard’s, NJ). Up to 77 from the crouch and can impact in all facets; 7.05 runner and 95 mph exit in June. Controls the run-game alternating from LKD/traditional. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRNewJersey pic.twitter.com/Qu2qwhmdzW

‘24 RHP/INF Greyson Norris (@SoudyBaseball / @Banditsball) entering in relief w/ some quickness/life up in the zone. Long arm action and competes with ATH traits. 6-0, 180lb sturdy frame and more coming.

‘24 RHP/OF @GraysonWeikel (@SoudyBaseball / @PA_Shockers) with a clutch-AB down to their final out, spraying a LOUD RBI single over RF head to pull the Shockers within one. Two-way is obvious, standing out multiple ways this weekend. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/ZgpueXFV1i

More flush contact from ‘23 MIF Eric Weaver (State College Area). Took multiple confident hacks in his last game, carrying over to a deep fly out to the warning track here. Lean, compact build w/ early connection in the swing.#PASelect | @pbrt_east | @YetiSelect pic.twitter.com/qEnInAoMWY

‘22 C Jakub Obman (@northeasttwins / Moniteau) drawing quality reviews for the hit tool, adds another to his belt into the LCF gap to get things going for the Twins. Consistent at-bats and a solid stature (5-10, 220lb). #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/iycnzFc9ah

#Uncommitted ‘22 1B @alpnak11 (Dubois Area) goes loud double to LCF and then stays on a FB middle-out to drive a barreled sac-fly. Physicality shows w/ 93 exit in the past (341 ft BB distance @TrackManBB).#PASelect @northeasttwins pic.twitter.com/Gno1Mfauez

Lots of success for ‘22 RHP Nick Mahar (Guilderland, NY), coming into the game with confidence late. Loose, ATH arm and slight ASR on the FB (78-79, T80). Mixed hard SL (74) for s&m that he started featuring as primary. Very effective two innings. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/4U6a6UAajh

‘22 C Dom Henzel (Oleon, NY) with a momentum-swinging 2-run knock in the first, staying inside a backdoor CB in on the hands. Short, compact stroke and can situational hit. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRNewYork | @northeasttwins pic.twitter.com/Z7EX6o81Tn

‘22 RHP Blake Kellerman (Boonesboro, MD) stands 6-3, 173lbs with projection oozing. High-waisted and reaches downhill into the glove. Tough luck early, but traits should allow for consistency.

‘22 RHP Luke Petruzzi (Portville, NY) running the FB up to T77 with some funk in the delivery. ATH 6-1, 165lb frame w/ ability to continue holding strength. Mixed 63-64 CB in advantage counts. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRNewYork | @northeasttwins pic.twitter.com/ISA5zPIVbq

Seems like deja vu, but ‘24 OF Tripp Capers (Germantown Academy) on time for his 6th hit in three games. Ready athleticism and a joy to watch run the bases. Putting pressure on P’s w/ burst and multiple SB’s. High-ceiling potential. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/1xGzuR5tGE

‘22 RHP Jack Beneigh (Butler Area) running the fastball up to 86 and holding it 83-85 MPH. Mixes in a sweeping breaking ball that has flashes of swing and miss potential. Great starters frame at 6-6, 195lbs with room to add pic.twitter.com/BdDyxAovOl

#Uncommitted ‘22 OF @dunnelijah_29 (Norwin) drives one deep into the night, but falls about a foot short at the 366’ sign. Twitchy hands, a long and powerful frame, and good acceleration. 6.76 runner and #FutureGames alum. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/7mkLU5g1nZ

‘23 OF Dorian Stroud (@Keystone_Select | Carlisle) moving down the line out of the box for an INF single in the middle innings. Speed plays up a notch, putting pressure on DEF. 4.24 sec from the right side (H-1st). #PASelect @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/gMsmA1VNAl

Welcome to #PASelect, ‘23 SS/OF Caleb Stewart (Big Spring / @Keystone_Select). Notched his third hit of the nightcap (2nd RBI) past the diving third-baseman. Trusts the hands and plays w/ confidence (quick trigger). @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/G557dVTTbj

Upside ‘24 RHP @connorcrabtree_ (La Salle College / @Banditsball) working down/heavy into the zone w/ with + mound presence. Low effort and more in the tank flashing a 6-5, 214lb “power-arm” frame. 3IP, 2H, 5K

#Uncommitted ‘23 OF/LHP @WittyDamian (Hurricane, WV) almost took down the RF wall on this long single, his 2nd hit of the day. Plus bat-speed to pull (95+ exit) and a mature hitter in the 3-hole w/ two-way talent.#PASelect | @PBRTournaments | @PBRWestVirginia | @AcesAppalachian pic.twitter.com/8htrawfdUL

Finally got a ? of Witty on the bump, summoned in relief to finish out the game. Attacked at 82-83 w/ life, going to a hard-biting 74-75 SL, and 70-71 mph CH in any count. ATH carries all over.

High-priority follow in @wv_pbr ‘23 class. https://t.co/rl65ResFvq pic.twitter.com/UmmdVLi5sX

Loud 1st inning from ‘22 RHP & @RadfordBaseball recruit @devonboyles11 (Central-Martinsburg). Opened w/ quick pace, racing down the mound and getting on top of hitters. 6-5, 180lbs showing strikeout potential.

The ball sounds different coming off ‘22 SS / @Vol_Baseball commit @JakeKendro (Norwin) bat. 2-run single and close to adding a double that missed the chalk by inches. Highly-capable athlete with natural feel for the game. #PASelect | @FloodCityElite | @prepbaseball pic.twitter.com/dDuzxhz6oI

— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 18, 2021

Good look at the defensive work of '23 C Nate Helms (Central Mountain). 5'10", 170-pounder has been a wall behind the dish while flashing consistent 2.10 pop times between innings.#PASelect @pbrt_east @YetiSelect pic.twitter.com/fHGA5vnkn4
