‘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/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

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.

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

#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

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

#Uncommitted ‘23 OF/LHP @WittyDamian (Hurricane, WV) almost took down the RF wall on this long single, his 2nd hit of the day.

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.

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

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
