24 7 Dudes of the Weekend: Week 4

Hitters

Blake Mitchell (Texas Twelve Maroon 2023)

Texas Twelve Maroon 2023’s Blake Mitchell was instrumental in his squad capturing the title at the Pudge Rodriguez World Classic this weekend. The 2023 LSU commit from Sinton (TX) got it done on both the mound and at the plate to showcase his two-way potential. The LHH utilizes a compact swing in the box to spray line drives and make consistent hard contact. On the bump the RHP touches 91 MPH with a fastball that has late life to bust in on the hands of righties and a sharp curveball with nearly 20 MPH of difference that makes batters look lost in the box. With these previously mentioned skills, it’s easy to forget he’s also a catcher that uses his arm strength to throw lasers down to second base and hose runners. He’s unquestionably a top of the line prospect in all facets.

Event: Pudge World Classic

Stat Line: 10-19, 3 2B, 11 RBI, 4R, 4 BB, SB | 7 IP, 9K, 2H, 0 ER, W

Nick Bolek (Altitude Prospects 2022)

Altitude Prospects 2022’s Nick Bolek was a run-producing beast at the plate this weekend. The uncommitted 2022 from Ralston Valley (CO) is a physical presence in the box that stands out among the competition. The right-handed batter starts out in a crouched position to generate plenty of power from the lower half with quick hands that extend the barrel well to hit balls to all fields with authority. Solid prospect that scouts need to keep an eye on.

Event: Five Tool Colorado Summer Invitational

Stat Line: 10-19, 4 2B, 3B, 11 RBI, 6R, BB, 2 SB

Jared Thomas (Dallas Tigers Polk)

Dallas Tigers Polk’s Jared Thomas could have been playing for Aaron Boone and the Yankees this weekend because he was definitely a “savage in the box”. The 2022 Texas commit from Waxahachie (TX) crushed baseballs all over the field, leading to 7/9 of his hits on the tournament to be for extra bases. The sweet-swinging lefty generates plus bat speed and launch angle with balanced, yet powerful hacks to punish baseballs. He also has the ability to make consistent contact, as evidenced by his zero strikeouts on the weekend. Although he didn’t pitch this weekend, he’s also a solid LHP who uses a shorter delivery to get fastballs on batters quickly and dominate. Excellent prospect to watch in college.

Event: Five Tool Texas NTX Showdown Satellite Series

Stat Line: 9-14, 6 2B, 3B, 11 RBI, 10R, BB, 3 SB

Luke Billings (North Texas Longhorns 2025)

North Texas Longhorns 2025’s Luke Billings played well above his age at the Five Tool Show 15U/16U Championships this weekend. The uncommitted 2025 from Prosper (TX) isn’t even in high school yet, but he could still start on many varsity rosters as is. The right-handed hitter takes more controlled Javier Baez-esque hacks at the plate with elite pull-side power to launch baseballs. His ability to draw walks and stay on breaking balls makes him a surefire Division 1 prospect scouts will be drooling over in the coming years.

Event: Five Tool Show 15U/16U Championships

Stat Line: 8-12, 3 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 7R, 3 BB, 4 SB

Cade Binion (UB Texas Harvey)

UB Texas Harvey’s Cade Binion made his pitchers very appreciative of his run-scoring and producing abilities this weekend. The uncommitted 2023 from Hebron (TX) has nice quick-twitch muscles and plays the game with intensity to make game-changing plays and fire up his squad. The LHH uses the aforementioned quick-twitch muscles and direct barrel-to-ball swing to hit balls where they’re pitched with ease. He uses his speed and aggressiveness on the base paths as well as a very mature approach at the plate to force the opposition into mistakes (he walked seven times in twenty plate appearances this weekend). This is the kind of player any coach would want on their team and colleges should take note.

Event: Five Tool Show 15U/16U Championships

Stat Line: 7-13, 2B, HR, 9 RBI, 11R, 7 BB, 3 SB

Easton Winfield (Canes Southwest Prime)

Canes Southwest Prime’s Easton Winfield was a headache for pitchers to face this weekend. The uncommitted 2023 from Alvin (TX) showcased great hand-eye coordination with a bat in his hands and plus pop to tear into baseballs. The LHH has a nice short swing and stays in his legs well which give him the ability to hit balls anywhere in the zone. Solid prospect to be on the lookout for.

Event: Five Tool Show 15U/16U Championships

Stat Line: 8-12, 3 2B, 3B, HR, 9 RBI, 3R, BB, SB

Jake Koczo (Dallas Patriots 17U Durham)

Dallas Patriots 17U Durham’s Jake Koczo was on a tear at the plate this weekend. The uncommitted 2022 from Wakeland (TX) uses his big frame at 6’2” 195 lbs to rip the barrel through the zone and repeatedly smoke the ball. With a combination of good barrel extension and a high finish, the right-handed hitter drives the ball deep into the gaps for extra-base hits with ease. His 5-5 performance on Saturday was good for a cycle and certainly one of the most impressive performances of the weekend.  Solid offensive prospect to watch this summer.

Event: Five Tool Oklahoma Show

Stat Line: 7-12, 2 2B, 3B, HR, 7 RBI, 7R, 4 BB

Theo Kummer (USA Prime American)

USA Prime American’s Theo Kummer was locked and loaded at the dish this weekend in the Five Tool Oklahoma Show. The uncommitted 2022 from John Paul II (TX) showed off some big time pop and proved he can be a middle of the order type of hitter with two huge home runs. The RHH utilizes a high leg kick to generate power and can hit the ball to all fields. Keep an eye on this dude the rest of the summer and as he prepares for his senior season next spring.

Event: Five Tool Oklahoma Show

Stat Line: 7-14, 3B, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 8R, 2 BB, 2 SB

Ryan Black Jr. (USA Prime American)

USA Prime American’s Ryan Black Jr. was a force to be reckoned with this past weekend in the Five Tool Oklahoma Show. The uncommitted 2022 from Mansfield Lake Ridge (TX) showcased his ability to find a way on base and rack up extra bags. The LHH has one of the prettiest swings you’ll see on the showcase circuit as he keeps it short and simple but does not lose any pop due to a powerful lower half. Make sure to tune in when this dude in the making is at the dish, you won’t want to miss it.

The uncommitted 2024 from Sugar Salem (ID) did quite a bit of damage with his impressive wheels as he totaled three triples, and five stolen bases. The RHH looked to drive the ball to the gaps and really let his speed threaten the opposition. This dude is a fun watch on the base paths and a scrappy player that is always looking to keep the pressure on other teams. Look out for this one over the next few years.

The RHH not only hit for average but also showed off some pop as he belted one home run. This dude did it all this past weekend and stuffed the stat sheet in all areas.

The LHH drove the ball to all fields and came up clutch when his squad needed him the most. The incoming junior really impressed with his plate discipline and ability to put the bat on the ball.

Pitchers

Jack Cagianello (UBC 16U Reyes)

UBC 16U Reyes’ Jack Cagianello had a whale of an outing at the Pudge World Classic this weekend. The uncommitted 2023 from Denton Guyer (TX) showcased a nearly unhittable two-pitch mix that kept batters off-balanced. He shows the ability to throw a four-seam and two-seam up to 88 mph to either hit a spot or bust a hitter in on the hands, as well as the ability to manipulate the curve to either be a wipeout horizontally or break sharply downward. College scouts need to watch out for this dude.

Keever Vincent (Impact Baseball Club Worley)

Impact Baseball Club Worley’s Keever Vincent was dominant on the mound this weekend. The uncommitted 2022 from Keller (TX) utilizes an over-the-top delivery to generate a nice downhill angle on fastballs and get solid bite on his curveball. He hides the ball well behind his body and has a quick arm action to get pitches onto batters quickly and force them to guess. Solid pitching prospect to watch out for.

The 2021 Hesston College signee from Venus (TX) has an effortless delivery that allowed him to go strong through seven innings of work. The RHP has a nice fastball-curveball mix with good 12-6 action on the curve that repeatedly misses barrels and is a put away pitch. Nice pitching prospect to keep an eye on in college.

The LHP has a very clean delivery without much effort allowing him to go deep into outings at full strength. He’s very accurate with the fastball and has a wipeout breaking ball with slurve action that freezes batters out of the hand. Great lefty pitching prospect to keep an eye on this summer.

The uncommitted 2025 from Stony Point (TX) racked up an impressive 10 strikeouts and impressed with great location. The RHP pitched with emotion and was not afraid to challenge hitters with his fastball. The incoming freshman is has a lot of time to grow into an already impressive frame and will be worth watching him mature and add strength over the coming years.
