Reports

Logan Scarborough, RHP, 2025, (GA)
Uncommitted. 6-foot-8, 180-pounds. The long/Lanky right hander had a strong outing during the 15u National Championship. While using primarily his fastball, he was able to work deep into the game. Scarborough has a nice fluid delivery, with a low 3/4 arm slot. He ran his FB up to 89 while settling in at 85-88. He had plus arm side movement on the fastball making it difficult for hitters to pick up. His long frame really allowed him to get down the mound and have good reach on his pitches.

Colin White, LHP, 2026, (GA)
Georgia Tech Commit. 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. White had an impressive 2 innings of work in his start during the 15u National Championship. He has an electric FB that can get up to 90, while primarily working at 86-89. The FB has good carry through the zone with above average spin rate (T2634). White Backs up the FB with a wipeout breaking ball working at 72-75, With a top spin rate of (2741). He got plenty of whiffs with both pitches in the zone and out. White pitches with good tempo/ pace on the mound.
Owen Strey, 2026 SS (MN)
Uncommited, A SS from Minnesota that may be unknown right now but soon to be well known as he continues to mature and get stronger. His ability to play up the middle was impressive as he rotuinely made proper decsions and read speed of the baseball at an advanded level. He showed he could range to the 6 hole and play on the run just as well as taking a precsice angle on a ball behind the 2nd base bag. His feet and hands work together and are always in sync along with a good internal clock and feel for the postion. As he continues to gain explosiveness and the arm ticks up, there should be no issue handling the SS postion at the next level given he already possess the insticts and feel. Offensivly, a RH swing that is built on a repeatble trigger that works perfectly with his stride, loose wrists and feel for the barrel. He showed the ability to take his walks and impact the baseball as he turned in multiple XBH’s. I watched him match plane of a up+out FB and pepper it to the RCF gap for a 3B, then front arm shrink and manipulate his path for a up+in FB for a loud 2B to LF. This is a intriguing follow in the Minnesota ‘26 class and will be exciting to watch him continue to get better.

Brady Abate, 2026 3B (PA)
Uncommited, Abate emerged this weekend as a serious uncommited name to know in the ‘26 class. He was routinely on the barrel and showed glarring hittersh traits in the box. Brady attendeds Malvern Prep, a top HS in the state of Pennslyvania. He forced his way into a highly talented varsity lineup as a Freshman and has only gotten better as the summer has advaned. He routinely impacted the baseball at a high rate and showed he could adjust to all parts of the zone. His short + compact LH swing that packs force in the hands and twitch in the wrists allowed for conistent 95+ EVs despite being handsy and effortless. I watched him adjust with his back knee post landing and stay on a below the zone FB for a loud 3B to LCF for a 94.7 EV, then get the barrel out front and launch a loud HR over the RF wall for a 99.8 EV. His simple foward move and repeatble launch postion put him in ideal spots to make consistent hard contact and recognize BB’s, this is also going to allow him to handle velocity as he advances levels. There is so much to like here and it is only a matter of time untill he is on endless colleges big boards.
 


Ethan Bass, SS 2026 (IL)
Fighting Illini Commit, A fast twitch, high level SS from IL that has shown well seemingly every time I see him this summer. The athleticism immediately stands out as everything he does on the field is done with ease and fluidity, whether it be at SS, CF or in the batters box. Ethan posses a quiet confidence and has the “it factor” that aside from his obvious tools is going to allow him to play this game for a long time. Offensively, a RHH that shows an advanced ability to control the strike zone, consistently making ideal swing decisions and recognizing spin. Simple, controlled swing that checks many boxes, athleticism throughout with a efficient forward move allowing him to routinely land centered giving him the best chance to consistently recognize BB’s and adjust to all parts of the zone. A repeatable launch position that he flows in and out of with a tight, connected turn and knob led path keeping his barrel flat with a extended stay through the zone. What really impressed me was his ability to generate easy bat speed and impact the baseball at a high rate, turning in multiple 95+ exit velocities and 2 HR’s. I saw him work a long AB, then adjust with his back knee post landing and change planes on a dime for a below the zone FB golfing it over the LF wall for a HR, at 95 MPH. Defensively, the actions immediately stand out as his feet and hands are always in sync. His ability to range laterally with body control are advanced, pointing to him being able to stick up the middle long term. Exciting young SS that is going to continue to excel moving forward.
Jaxon Matthews, OF 2026 (NC)
Clemson Commit, A 6-3 180 LB LHH OF that possess many ingredients to hit at the next level and they were on display all weekend at the 15u National Championship. Athleticism, bat speed, body control, leverage and a mature approach are what comes to mind after watching just one of Jaxon’s AB’s. A controlled LH swing with efficient movements, his ability to coil in stride allowed him to be well connected with the largest muscles on the backside, calling for a tight+connected turn and serious torque+leverage at landing. His ability to control his body in the forward move and slam on the brakes are highly impressive and advanced. Jaxon was seemingly a walking 95+ EV all weekend. What is most impressive is the mature and advanced approach for his age. When watching all of the Canes hitters last weekend it was obvious they all had a plan of what they wanted to hit at the plate. Jaxon showed the ability to routinely make ideal swing decisions and rarely expand his zone. I watched him work long at bats, see pitches, lay off breaking balls and ultimately shrink the strike zone and hammer anything that was around the plate. This is a future high level LHH that is only going to continue to advance as he matures.

Evan Moody, OF/RHP, 2026, (GA)
Uncommitted. 6-foot, 180-pounds. Moody had a good week at the plate for the 15u National Championship. Moody has a strong frame producing good power in his swing. He has a nice quiet load, keeping his movements minimal. Moody gets his barrel in the zone early and keeps it there through contact. He has good hands and hips, keeping them in sync and firing them at the right time.
 

Liam Greenberg, CF/MIF, 2026, (PA)
Uncommitted. 5-foot-8, 140 pounds. Seeing Greenberg’s first at-bat in the game was jaw-dropping. The lead-off for Uncommon Baseball put on quite the performance in the one game I watched him. Going 3/3 with two infield singles, one double, a steal, and took home twice on passed balls. He finished the tournament with a .875 batting average, .909 OBP, and 6 steals across 4 games. His medium, slim frame is complementary to his plus speed, running a 6.74 60-yard time this February, but I don’t doubt he’s even faster, running a 4.11 time from home plate to first base in-game on one of his infield singles. Hitting a ball to the first baseman and beating the throw is mind-blowing. He will constantly put pressure on infielders to make quick throws to first which will often result in errors. As a future top of scale runner, he also displayed plus range in centerfield, making otherwise difficult plays look easy. Not only was his speed eye-opening, his bat to ball skills were no joke. He has a short toe tap in stride and keeps a still head and getting good hip-shoulder separation. An impressive contact hitter, he always puts the ball in play while also displaying good plate discipline. With the ability to beat the throws on ground balls and has the ability to drive the ball deep, as he’s displayed the ability to hit home runs in the past, it’s only a matter of time before he starts getting the recognition that he should be.

Bryson Germanenko, C, 2026 (GA)
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 160 pounds. Tall, lean frame with proportional strength. Germanenko has displayed an impressive catching ability with an impressive bat along with it. He has all the right tools behind the plate and takes lead and command of his field, a true team player with a high baseball IQ. Physical and athletic defender with clean and quick release. He displayed the ability to throw out runners throughout the tournament, showing off a 2.03 pop time in-game. In May at our PBR Scout Day, he showed that his pop time can be even better at 1.99 seconds. He presented his hitting abilities as well this weekend. He has a physical bat with present bat speed and a simple, repeatable swing. Keeps bat through the zone and works up the middle. Stays in the lower half and finishes through contact. With impressive intangibles, it’s a sight to see him do his thing behind the plate for the Georgia Jackets.

Christian Starks, IF/RHP, 2026 (GA)

Fills up the zone and generates a lot of whiffs on the slider. Competitive and dominant on the mound with a bit of a whip on release of the ball. Sidearm slot plays up and confuses hitters, often freezing hitters on the fastball. Impressive overall player that will be fun to follow as he progresses over the next few years.

Charlie Delp, 1B, 2026 (GA)
Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 185 pounds. Delp was impressive at the 15U National Championship as he was consistently barreling balls to all parts of the field. Delp has a muscular, tall frame with athleticism throughout. His shoulders, hips, and bat path all work in unison as he looks to put the ball into the gaps. He has minimal negative movement before starting his load. His swing is tight and well connected while his barrel remains flat thru the zone with serious pop. He has noticeable hand speed as he was able to barrel multiple balls back the other way that were thrown inside. He does a good job of using his backside leverage while making contact in front of his front foot. Delp also has good patience/discipline for a young hitter and doesnt tend to swing at many balls outside the zone. He is a confident hitter as he is fearless against velocity and tends to barrel most fastballs as he is able to recognize pitches very well. Defensively, Delp is a large target for his teammates with above average range. He has good feet, smooth transitions, and a good glove. Delp is one of the top 1B in the ‘26 and will only continue to get better throughout the years. 

Brayden Seeley,1B/RHP, 2026 (NC)
Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 190 lbs. Seeley has been a player to watch this summer. He is impressive on both sides of the game. Seeley is tall, athletic, and quick.

Seeley played both 1B and pitched this weekend, having a solid outing for both. He is an agile player that can adjust to any part of the field and is able to control the game from the field. He has a quick reaction time and an impressive read of the field. Seeley is an uncommitted athlete to keep an eye on these next years.

Nick Albert, 1B/RHP, 2025 (NY)
Albert showcased some serious power in the 15U national championship. Shooting balls all over the field. A big frame lefty hitter that will continue to fill out his frame as he gets older. Simple leg kick load, keep the hands back and drives the ball. Solid hitter and a tuff out at the plate.

Anthony Coppola, MIF, 2026 (KY)
Coppola came up big for CBC Marucci in a tie ball game. A pull side triple to score 2 runs that led to them winning the ball game. Anthony is a very technically sound hitter at the plate. A tuff out in the box and on the basepaths. A simple load and quick hands.

Hunter Harrington, OF, 2026 (CA)
Stanford Commit. 6-foot-1, 170 pounds. Harrington has a lean, twitchy, projectable frame with tons of athletic upside. Harrington was on fire throughout this whole tournament as he was consistently making clutch hits for Canes National including in the championship game. His shoulders and hips work on the same plane with hip hinge connection as he swings with a gap to gap approach. He has a smooth, well-connected swing that is led by the knob of his barrel and stays flat thru the zone. He makes contact in front of his front foot and recognizes pitches really well making him a very hard out. Defensively, Harrington is a stud as he covers a ton of ground at CF due to his above average speed. He tracks the ball with ease and has advanced arm strength for his age with accurate throws. Overall, Harrington is a really good ball-player with advanced mechanics for his age. Ranked as the top CF in California and also the number one CF in the nation for the ‘26 class.

He worked a 3-pitch count that was used equally and in any count. His FB sat 82 to 84 and topped out at 85 with life. His SLV which was his best pitch was 72 to 75 and caused freezes and whiffs. He also occasionally threw in a CH that sat around 74 to 76 and caused many hitters to swing right through  it. Mittiga has a fluid ¾ AA delivery with a repeatable operation. Mittiga got down the mound well and was keeping the SBG Sox hitters off balance all game in order to send the East Cobb Astros 15U Nationals to the championship game. He is primarily a catcher but pitches well and could be an intriguing 2-way in the future. High follow throughout the summer. 

Caden Glauber, RHP/SS, 2026  (SC)
Glauber absolutely dominated this weekend on the mound. The NC Commit did not disappoint. Handled his business in the Panthers 6th game of the tournament with 7 k's topped 90 sitting 86-89. Made is almost a guessing game for the hitters he faced. An effortless, smooth delivery plus the big, strong frame made it easy to get down the mound and create havoc for the hitters.
