The second annual Midwest Select took place Friday and Saturday, featuring some top teams from the region. Naturally, that brought some scouting attention Grand Park in Westfield, IN, to see a few draft prospects.

RHP Nick Hoffmann (Centerville HS, OH) stole show on Saturday, twirling a perfect game with eight strikeouts. The 6-foot-2 Clemson recruit has an athletic frame with proportional strength and room for continued physical development. He pounded the strike zone with his 88-91 mph fastball, and mixed in a 73-75 breaking ball. The fastball plays mostly true, but gets up on hitters thanks to his excellent extension, which ranged between 6-foot-10 to 7-foot-3, giving most of his fastballs a perceived velocity 1-2 mph faster than the actual velocity, per Trackman Baseball data. His final pitch of the game was 91 on a strikeout. The delivery is athletic and on-line. He has a deep takeaway in the back with a slight wrap and his arm speeds up to get it up and out with a fast hand out front.
