Emerson, GA: The final tournament of the summer did not dissapoint. In our final scout blog we highlight over 25 players from 12 different states. Loaded uncommitted talent througout.

Vaughn Osting, RHP, 2026, Bloomingdale (FL)
It was an eye-opening start to kick off the 17u National championship for the uncommitted RHP. Osting would proceed to strike out nine across 4.0 perfect innings pitched (4.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K). Above-average command stood out as Osting was able to mix all four of his pitches for strikes. Standing a lean, 6-foot-2, 180-pounds, Osting shows excellent body control with an easy repeatable delivery and present arm speed to match. Fastball displayed easy life out of the hand at 88-90 (T91 MPH). Curveball was flipped over at 71-72 with sharp, 12/6 depth. Slider was worked sparingly at 73-75 with bite. Changeup is potentially an advanced offering to LHH with a disappearing tumble at 77-80 for heavy swing-and-miss. Must know uncommitted name.

Jackson Smith, LHP, 2026, Festus (MO)
It was a late-night shovefest for the Michigan commit on Wednesday night. Smith put together a dominant performance as he struck out 12 in a complete game shutout (7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 12K). Ultra-physical on the mound at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds, Smith shows repeatability in the delivery and attacks the zone with intent. Fastball lived in the upper 80s at 86-88 (T89 MPH). The southpaw displayed advanced feel for the curveball which played extremely well off of the fastball at 76-80 with sweep and created a heavy dose of swing-and-miss. Easy to see a chance for a future advanced offering. Changeup was worked occasionally at 79-80. Smith can flat out pitch and it was evident on the first night of the 17u National Championship.

John Wyatt Still, LHP, 2026, Tatnall 
Mercer commit. Coming into his outing for East Cobb, Still remained uncommitted and would compile an impressive stat line in a dominant start. 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 K. Lean and athletic at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, Still shows repeatability in the delivery with present arm speed. The southpaw provides an extremely uncomfortable look against both LHH and RHH as he operates for a deceptive low ¾ slot. Fastball lived 86-88 (T89 MPH) and slider tunneled well off of it at 76-78 with tilt. Changeup showed good arm-side fade at 79-80. Still would commit to play at Mercer shortly after his start and looks poised for a massive senior campaign with Tatnall.

Jace Watson, C/OF, 2026, Castle (IN)
Uncommitted. The robust profile was on full display for Watson over the course of the 17u National Championship. Athletic and physical at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds with present bat-to-ball skills and ability to spray the ball to all-fields. Watson came through with one of the best performances of the week as he went 3-for-4 on Thursday including the go-ahead 3 RBI triple for Canes Midwest in a win. The LHH stays extremely compact through the zone and strong feel to get the barrel on-plane backed by present bat speed and innate barrel feel. As well as generating great leverage through the zone with real strength in the lower half. Watson is armed with multiple high-floor tools throughout the profile as well such as positional flexibility across the diamond and an above-average run tool (6.65 runner).

Riley Matlock, C, 2026, Southport (IN)
Uncommitted. It was clear to see that Matlock was locked in at the dish from his first at-bat on Thursday afternoon. The uncommitted backstop would proceed to compile a monster performance for Canes Midwest National. On-base in all 5 plate appearances and would go 3-for-3 with a 2-run Home-Run (98 EV/ 358 Ft.), 2 singles, 2 runs, 2 RBI, and 2 BB. Matlock, a powder-keg of an athlete, stands a physical 5-foot-11, 200-pounds with immense strength throughout. Innate barrel feel stands out with easy bat speed through the zone and impact in the barrel to match. The RHH stays well leveraged through the zone with real strength in the lower half. Matlock shows a keen eye for the zone with excellent pitch recognition in an advanced all-fields approach to match. Loud tools litter the profile with plenty more to project upon for the incoming senior.

Blake Heyer, RHP, 2026, Montini Catholic (IL)
Uncommitted. The definition of a bullying performance from the right-hander in a tight pitchers duel. Heyer missed barrels with ease as he would strike out 11 across 5.0 no-hit innings-pitched. Standing a physical, athletic 6-foot-2, 195-pounds, Heyer repeats well down the mound followed by a quick arm and attacks in the zone. Fastball displayed heavy arm-side run at 86-88 (T89 MPH). Slider tunneled extremely well off of the fastball at 71-74 with late-bite for swing-and-miss. Changeup was used sparingly at 77-79. Uncommitted name to know.

Bradyn Cupit, LHP, 2026, West Monroe (LA)
LSU commit. The electric outings continue to stack up for the southpaw this summer. Cupit was nearly untouchable with a high impressive final stat line in a win ( 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 12 K). Physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, Cupit, an easy mover, exudes body control with real arm speed. As well as attacking with intent and competing in the zone. Fastball jumps out of the hand at 90-92 (T93 MPH) with heavy movement at 2600 + RPM for heavy swing-and-miss. Slider played extremely well off the fastball at 79-81 with good shape and ability to manipulate. The polish in the profile stands out with plenty more to project upon towards a significant future ceiling.

Nick Bobrowski, LHP, 2026, Pope
Georgia Southern commit. Fresh off a commitment to the Eagles, Bobrowski came through with another statement outing this summer. Throwing a complete-game no-hitter in a highly competitive matchup and 1-0 victory ( 7.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K). The southpaw had everything working and filled up the zone with innate feel for all 3 pitches for swing-and-miss. Fastball sat 83-86 (T87 MPH) with arm-side run and above-average command to land to either half of the plate. Curveball flashed plus at 68-70 with feel to spin at 3400 + RPM. Was used in any count and collected whiffs at will to both RHH and LHH. Changeup played well off of the fastball at 76-77 with arm-side fade. Bobrowski has been one of the biggest winners of the entire spring and summer circuit and looks the part of a massive add for the Eagles.

Kameron Keenan, RHP/1B, 2027, North Buncombe High(NC)
Uncommitted. Put together a very strong outing on day 2 of pool play at the 17u National Championship. Would come out of the gate pounding the zone with his fastball and getting a lot of swing and miss on that pitch. He did a good job of keeping hitters off balance and mixing up his pitches. He showcased a fastball that lived in the 87-89 range with a top bolt of 90 that had heavy arm side run. He also showcased two off speed pitches that consisted of a curveball that was tight and lived in the 74-76 range and flashed a changeup at 80mph. Would go onto pitch 4 innings only allowing one hit and one walk and striking out seven batters.

Zachary Landreville, RHP/1B, 2026, NPU HS(QC)
Uncommitted. Had a very efficient outing in his start where he would go on and pitch four innings, only giving up one hit and walking two batters and striking out five batters on only thirty-seven pitches. Came out commanding the zone with his fastball that generated swing and miss on this pitch and would also do a good job of mixing up his pitches. His fastball lived in the 88-90 range, with a top of 91 with arm side run on this pitch. Also had a two pitch off speed mix that consisted of a curveball that lived in the 78-81 range and then flashed a changeup at 82. Had good command on all three pitches and pitched to contact which helped him be efficient.

Daniel Phillips, 1B/LHP, 2026, Brownsburg High School(IN)
Uncommitted. The number three 1B in the 2027 PrepBaseball Indiana class would put together a strong day at the plate with multiple hits that helped keep his team in the game. On the day he would 2-4 with 2 doubles and five RBI’s. His first hit was on a pitch that he would smoke to the LCF wall for a 2 run RBI double to bring his team back into the game and his second hit was also a double that he would lace to the RCF wall for a bases clearing three run RBI double to bring his team within one run of tying the game. He does a good job of staying balanced and connected throughout with a short and compact swing through the zone with present bat speed through the zone. Also has good barrel control with bat to ball skills to match.

Jack Pierce, LHP, 2027, South Forsyth HS
In the final day of pool Pierce would put together a strong start to help lead his team to a 11-2 win. He would come out pounding the zone with his fastball that generated six straight whiffs to start off the game. He totaled fifteen total whiffs on the day. His fastball has some arm side run and lived in the 81-84 range and topped out at 86. He primarily used his fastball throughout his start, but would also mix in a curveball that sat 65-68 and a changeup that sat in the 74-76 range. Has a deceptive arm slot that helps him hide the ball and gives hitters trouble picking up the ball out of hand. Has a very projectable frame at 6’5” 199 pounds with plenty of room to grow and add strength. Final statline: 4.2IP, 3H, 0ER, 7K, 2BB.

Jack Powell, 1B/RHP, 2026, Denmark HS
Uncommitted. Put together a really strong showing on the final day of pool play at the 17u National Championship. In his first AB he would go pull side home run over the RF fence at 93EV and 345ft. In his next AB he would collect another hit as he would line a pitch back up the middle for a two run RBI single. He does a good job of staying back and creating good extension to be able to drive his hands through the zone. Also creates good extension with length in his swing through the zone and stays balanced and connected throughout. Good frame at 6’2” 198 pounds with room to add strength that will help add power to his swing.

Gavin Swartz, RHP/1B, 2026, Normal Community (IL)
Indiana Commit. Gavin Swartz, class of 2026, was electric on the mound, sitting 89-91 mph with a lively fastball that consistently jumped out of his hand and challenged hitters in the zone. His slider was a true separator, coming in at 78-80 mph with sharp, late break that made for uncomfortable at-bats and frequent swing-and-miss results. Standing a projectable 6-foot-3, Swartz combined his physical build with a clean, repeatable delivery and quick arm action that helped him stay in rhythm throughout his outing. His mechanics were smooth and under control, and he showed excellent athleticism on the mound—fielding his position well and making subtle adjustments pitch to pitch. The upside is big with Swartz, who already possesses advanced feel for his arsenal and has plenty of room to add strength and velocity.

Juan Telles, C, 2026, Gateway High (MO)
Uncommitted. Juan Telles, class of 2026, is an explosive, high-level athlete who put together a standout performance. Going 3 for 3, all registering over 95 mph exit velocity, showcasing his ability to drive the baseball with authority from his smooth, fluid left-handed swing. Telles stays balanced on his backside well and shows advanced feel for the barrel, consistently finding loud contact. His athleticism translates across all phases of the game—he’s a true weapon on the basepaths with great speed, and he covers an impressive amount of ground in center field. He made multiple highlight-reel plays defensively, flashing plus instincts and twitchiness that make him one of the more exciting players on the field.

Logan Satter, RHP/SS, 2026, Legion Collegiate Academy (SC)
Winthrop Commit. Logan Satter, class of 2026, turned in a dominant outing, flashing sharp, high-level stuff throughout. His fastball sat comfortably at 88-91 mph and touched 92 with heavy sink, making it tough for hitters to square up. What set him apart was the way his electric slider at 77-79 mph played off his fastball—tight, late-breaking, and consistently deceptive out of the hand. Satter throws from a lower arm slot with a quick, whippy arm action that adds to his deception and makes timing him up a real challenge for opposing hitters. The combination of fastball life and slider sharpness gives him a legitimate two-pitch mix that can miss bats consistently. With his unique angle, athleticism on the mound, and ability to pound the zone with intent, Satter has the traits of a high-upside arm with plenty more in the tank.

Logan Wideman, OF/1B, 2026, Walton (GA)
Uncommitted. Logan Wideman, class of 2026, is an imposing presence in the box with a massive 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame that produces effortless power. He showcased his strength all week, lacing multiple balls over 100 mph exit velocity with ease, proving he can do serious damage at the plate. Wideman features a wide, balanced stance and a simple, controlled approach that allows him to stay short to the ball and on time against all pitch types. Despite his size, his swing is smooth and fluid, not forced, making his power feel even more natural. He’s a threat to change the game in any count, with the ability to leave the yard or drive the ball to all fields. With his physicality, approach, and raw strength, Wideman projects as a legitimate bat with big-time upside.

Elijah Nester, RHP, 2026, Bentonville West (AR)
Uncommitted. Nester came out firing for the DFW Twins this week. Flashing an impressive two pitch mix that he was able to pound the zone with. The fastball was impressive, it carried very well to the top of the zone and had life sitting 89-91 for the outing. This tunneled extremely well with the curveball which was 77-78 and showed tight spin that created devastating break. An easy mover on the mound, he made it look effortless and never showed signs of fatigue. It’s an over the top slot with fast arm action that whips around his body. With two good pitches and the ability to throw strikes, Nester is someone that will be pitching well at the next level.

Parker Mitzel, RHP, 2026, Berkeley Prep (FL)
Rice Commit. Mitzel showed off on the mound and at the plate helping his own cause during the national championship. On the mound is where he shined, showing off a two pitch mix of a fastball and curveball that were both in the zone for strikes and showed swing and miss ability when needed. The fastball sat 89-92 and played well with arm side run and some sink, he plays with seam shifting and has the ability to manipulate shapes well. The curveball is 72-75 and has big vertical break that plays with a 12-6 shape. At the plate he showed the ability to go gap to gap with power. A long ground rule double to right center field in one of his ABs, and uses his lower half well to creat power. Mitzel has some two way potential at the next level and is a great add for the Owls.

Henry Vedder, RHP, 2026, Washington(MO)
Jacksonville State Commit. Vedder had a terrific outing on the final day of pool play filling up the zone quickly. Vedder, a top 30 player in the state of Missouri, showed just that he brings a presence to him on the mound standing at 6-foot-5 he is able to generate a ton of power getting down the hill quickly. Vedder has an unique delivery to him with a high leg kick and a ¾ slot release that had hitters unbalanced all day. Vedder had a fastball that sat 86-89 most of the day topping 90 at times paired very nicely with a splitter that had hitters buckling and frozen at times in the box. When Vedder delivered the splitter he released from a slide arm slot throwing hitters off when facing it. Vedder is an excellent arm that Jacksonville State should be very happy about getting, he has excellent mechanics and is an overall very good pitcher and will be a solid piece to contribute to the Gamecocks in the coming years.

Dylan Curtis, RHP, 2026, Francis Howell(MO)
Missouri Commit. Curtis had a great showing on day two of the tournament going 5.0 innings and striking out 10. Curtis has everything you look for in a right handed pitcher he has great delivery and presence on the mound at 6-foot-6 he stares down the batters and is able to get downhill and generates a ton of velocity from the lower half. Curtis fastball sat 88-91 all day getting up to 92 at times. Curtis sat mainly fastball most of the day and liked to work in on righties. Curtis has a high ¾ slot that is difficult to read for right handed batters and you could see that immediately in the first inning and he sat there the rest of the game. Curtis is a top 5 player in the state of Missouri and a top 200 player nationally, he will be a name to follow this upcoming season and beyond.

Kaden Powell, 1B, 2026, Beech HS (TN)
Kentucky Commit. Powell has a knack for hitting the ball very hard. He effortlessly showcased high exit velocities, even on swings where he flicks the wrist it’s over 90 EV. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound frame is athletic and he runs well, posting a sub 6.90 60 yard dash. He has raw power and keeps on showing it off this summer. Powell sets up very balanced in the box, with an average leg kick. But when the front foot comes down, that is when the power is created, he sinks into his legs very well to build energy and explode at the baseball. The rotation that he creates stays connected well to the upper half and the hands stay on plane well. Powell is a top name to watch as he goes into his senior year.

Mason Diamond, C, 2026, Benedictine Military (GA)
Uncommitted. Diamond couldn’t miss the barrel if he tried this week. Plays extremely athletic whether he’s catching, or in the box he stays loose and easy. With good feel for the barrel, Diamond showed the ability to be able to hit any pitch in any spot. He killed the fastball and has the ability to hit the pitch high and low. The lower half drive was impressive, and he explodes out of his back leg well and rotates fast to the ball. His hands stay very quiet and don’t move much until they come straight to the ball and stay compact. Diamond is an uncommitted bat to keep an eye on and should have plenty of chances at the next level.

Hunter Watson, 2026, RHP, Tuttle (OK)
Oklahoma Commit. Watson pitched an incredible game for Stix Scout and struck out 7 on the game. The real deal three pitch mix, and was able to locate all of them for strikes. The fastball, which plays up with ride, sat 90-92 and dominated hitters when up in the zone. Off of the fastball, he used two breaking balls a slider and curveball. The slider sat 83-85 and had extremely late break that dove away from right handed hitters. Tight spin and gyro movement in the low to mid 80’s is a great combination for him. The curveball was a true swing and miss offering as well, sitting 77-78 with heavy break 12-6. This mix, coupled with the ability to throw strikes makes him a plus pitcher for the class.

Lucas St-Laurent, RHP/2B, 2027, Cole secondaire Antoine de Saint-Exupiary (QC)
St-Laurent has proven to be a high end 2-way talent out of Quebec this week. Playing up a class he has not been shy of the competition and looks the part physically. On the mound he showed no fear, frequently attacking hitters with the FB that ran up to 91 MPH firing from a tough low ¾ slot that provided tons of deception. Off that he threw both a CH and SL that showed s/m potential with the ability to land both. At the plate St-Laurent stands in from the left side with a swing that is hard not to love. He is a prototypical top of the lineup bat from the left hand side that just seems to always find ways on base. All around St-Laurent is a gamer on both sides of the ball still with room to grow into his body in the next two years.

James Forgy, 2026, RHP/C, St. Thomas Aquinas (KS)
Uncommitted. 6-foot-0, 184-pound RHP/C Forgy, showed command and confidence on the mound with a quick arm and a competitive presence. He was highlighted this week in a very strong outing where he tossed 6 dominant innings, allowing just 2 hits with 7 strikeouts, and no earned runs. His fastball has a max velocity of 91, with an average of 87-88. Combined with the fastball, is a curveball at 75-77, a changeup around 80-82, and a slider around 78-79. Forgy also competes from behind the dish as well, with a pop time of 1.98–2.11. Very sharp toolset from the 2-way prospect

Maddox Millard, 2026, RHP/3B Gordon Lee (GA)
North Georgia commit. Millard is a two-way standout with a 6-foot-0, 170-pound frame. On the mound this week at the 17u National Championship, The fastball sat 85-87, touching 88, while mixing in a 77–79 mph curveball, a sharp 79–81 mph slider, and a changeup at 76–80. Millard kept hitters guessing by changing speeds and mixing looks, working efficiently and forcing weak contact all game. He worked a complete game, finishing with 5 strikeouts, and just 1 run allowed. Strong athleticism displayed on the mound, with feel for all pitches in his arsenal. High-upside potential coming out of the 2026 class.

Drew Payne, 2026, RHP, Prince Avenue Christian (GA)
Uncommitted. Payne has continued to shine as one of the top risers in the class of 2026 in Georgia, with the fastball making a big jump in velocity to now topping out at 93. Payne flashed more impressive stuff during his outing this week. The three pitch mix was in full effect, the fastball sat 89-91 and spun well averaging out at 2500 RPM, making this a heavier pitch. The offspeed offerings he coupled with it played well, and the changeup at 82 was a good swing and miss pitch to LHH. The breaking ball sits 77-78 and has some 11-7 break, making it a good pitch to throw form the fastball tunnel.The arm is lively and it snaps out before it whips across the body from a high ¾ arm slot. Payne’s combination of velocity and movement profiles has made him an intriguing arm and one of the top uncommitted arms in the state to watch.
