#Georgetown commit Eamon McDermott (‘25, PA) goes 5+ strong for @EustaceBaseball, earning the win. FB got up to 93 w/ jump + ride. Also worked in a hellacious SL in the low-80s w/ two-plane tilt + depth. Also mixed in a CH and 2SFB. Name to watch for the ‘25 class.

Ma’Kale Holden (‘25 @Thompsonbaseba1) Big durable build w/ strong legs. Fluid mover with higher slot release that creates DH angle to the FB (87-91). Flashed downer breaking ball @ 78 2758 as well as a SL (82) & straight CH (83). Limited traffic thru 3. #RollTide commit.

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Nick Barron (25 MA) with a double and a homer tonight, both shown. Smooth path w/ good length thru the zone, ability to lift both ways stands out. #Northwestern commit.

#PGShowdown @IMGABaseball

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

‘28 RHP Dylan Cunningham (MA) with a LOUD breakout showing here today, just casually sat 88-92 (!!) for 3 innings & beat guys; can spin it some & turned over a nice CH too. #PGMainEvent @PG_NewEngland

[Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic @PGMidAtlantic]

Miguel Sime Jr (‘25, NY) was simply dominant for @PolyBlueDevils tonight; 14 K, 1 H, 2 BB over 5.1 IP. Held 96-97 comfortably w/ a pair of 98s showing up. CB was tight w/ late depth (clip), freezing barrels primarily in 2K counts. Induced awkward LHH swings w/ his abrupt CH.

One of the most powerful arms in the class w/ a much-improved feel for command & secondary offerings. Strong 6’4” 235-lb frame. Currently no. 92 on @PG_Draft Board. #LSU commit.

Division 1 Head Coach called yesterday and asked about a good player. I gave my evaluation to him. He agreed and said “Just Doesn’t Play With Energy” There is so much more that goes into evaluating players then Stats, Pop Times, Velo, and Exit Velo!! You have to be a Baller!!!
