Northeast National Qualifier (14U/15U): Day 1 Scout Blog

High-ceiling ‘25 SS @michaelmo2025 (@WarwickHardball / @NEPridebaseball) is a big-time athlete atop the order (6-0, 150 lbs). Gaining plenty of traction w/ twitchy hands (22 mph) and mature at-bats. Went 10-pitch walk earlier, hard double to RCF here; 6.98 runner.

Was very impressed w/ the poise of ‘23 RHP @Alex44743779 (Pine Bush / @NEPridebaseball). Hid the ball well, giving way to a quick arm, tunneling with + command to the arm-side corner. Made big pitches early (2K first inning). @pbrt_east

FB: 80-81, both sides
CB: 68-69, downer pic.twitter.com/Cn57Dwhi7T

Fresh off of an impact #JrStateGames, ‘25 3B @montigney2025 (Pittston Area / @NEPridebaseball) stays red-hot with a 2-run triple to LCF. Flashing good barrel awareness and a ready-to-go 6-1, 190 lb frame; developing power hitter. @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/iMTimacpDj

Lots to like in two-way ‘25 RHP Jacob Stevens (Wyoming Valley West / @NEPridebaseball). Attacked both sides w/ an ATH operation, working loose and effectively out in front. FB/SL combo dominated in advantage counts. 4K in 3IP, @pbrt_east

FB: 76-77, strikes, s&m
SL: 64-66, bite pic.twitter.com/yN8qPs67JY

Hasn’t taken much time for ‘23 C Jacob Scalise (@WboroAthletics / @AccelerateElite) to announce his presence. Loud backside 2B & then showed off advanced receiving skills from LKD, beating the ball to the spot. Was explosive out of the crouch on his only in-game pop.@pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/aP0nLjfaqp

The ATH pops in ‘24 SS Matt Boffalo (Pine Bush / @NEPridebaseball) game. Leadoff, switch-hitter (6-0, 130 lbs) w/ burst, finding his way on-base in all three AB’s (RBI 1B here ?). Smooth defender at short and leverage in all phases. @pbrt_east | @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/8H32XYW3Kn

Holloway spins a 10 K no hitter! He was dominant the entire way through, establishing his fastball to both sides of the plate! Very exceptional poise from the 2025 RHP.

‘24 LHP Ian Brown (Loomis Chaffee) works a clean first inning w/ a couple punch outs. Works quickly with an uptempo windup, held the fastball 76-77 T78 MPH. Ran the fastball in with ease @PBR_NewEngland pic.twitter.com/r9YDoOTrio

‘24 RHP Jack Jensen (New Canaan) is dominating with the fastball. Running the FB up to 80 (77-79) MPH with ease in the mechanics. Loose, long arm with good acceleration through the ball. @PBR_NewEngland pic.twitter.com/cPfBhee4Zq

2025 SS/OF Chris Gantaifis (St. Joseph’s Regional/ @PBRNewJersey) has impressed on both sides of the ball today. Has looked smooth up the middle at short with a strong arm. Got all of this one, one hopping the LF wall for a loud double. @ne_supreme pic.twitter.com/sMi4qGiSX8

2025 SS/3B Jayden Onofre (St. Joseph’s Regional/ @PBRNewJersey) fell behind 0-2 but got one up in the zone and didn’t miss it for a lead off double. Barrel matches the plane early, hands are quick to the zone. Some developing pop from the right side, 90 MPH EV this spring. pic.twitter.com/voaMMbfaqZ

2024 RHP/OF Patrick Veintimilla (Albertus Magnus / @PBRNewYork) has a long, wiry frame capable of adding some muscle that should improve already solid ATH. Long legs get down the mound well. FB came out 75-78 but has settled in at 73-75, pairing with a 10-4 CB. @ne_supreme pic.twitter.com/SixXmscAHu

2025 3B/RHP Stephen Furia (Bishop Shanahan / @PBRPennsylvania) smoked this ball over the LFers head for an RBI double. Got a FB on the outer half and got the arms extended, barreling it up. @WCDragonsBall up 2-0 through the top half of the first. pic.twitter.com/OlCeJhTAZM
