On site in South Florida for the WWBA World Championships. Already saw some impressive talent and looking forward to seeing more over the next few days. #WWBAWorlds

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

The top ranked ‘28 RHP in Illinois has committed to Texas. Really enjoyed watching him deal this summer. 6’5 frame with athleticism, a quick, whippy arm and big-time stuff. Congrats @JackPostma44! #Hookem

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Jack Postma, the 82nd overall ranked player in the Class of 2028, has announced his commitment to Texas.

‘28 RHP Jack Postma (IL) checks in as the next big time power arm coming out of the Midwest. It’s loud stuff that sees his FB in the low 90s paired with a sweeper & changeup. Athletic operation with a lower 3/4 release. Good extension and continues to be a buzzy name after a great summer. #HookEm commit.

’28 RHP Josh Chalovich (PA) (@JoshChalovich) had a strong performance at the #MWChampsCup last week. Displayed an advanced feel to pitch, using multiple looks to keep hitters off-balance. Showed impressive command of the zone & conviction throughout the outing.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’28 RHP Josh Chalovich (PA) was lights out, finishing w/ 11K over 6 IP while allowing just 1 H & 0 BB. Filled the zone, consistently worked ahead & missed bats w/ the mix. FB 82-86 w/ ASR, SL 72-76, CB 68-70 w/ 12/6 shape #MWChampsCup @PGMidAtlantic

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

Really impressive look at ’27 LHP Gerad Hanle (MN) (@GeradHanle) at the #MWChampsCup last week. The #Minnesota commit showed advanced pitch-ability with plus command of a quality three-pitch mix. Repeatable delivery, clean arm action and plenty of starter traits to like.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’27 #Minnesota commit LHP Gerald Hanle (MN) put together a dominant performance last night: 16 K over 6.2 IP, 1 H & 0 ER. Displayed adv. pitchability, deception & attacked w/ 3 pitches for strikes.
FB 84-86, SL 76-78, CH 77-80. #MWChampsCup @PG_WiscMinn @SpectsBaseball

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

A lot to project on with ’29 LHP Townes Cinninger (IN) (@townescinninger) at the #MWChampsCup last week. The 6-foot-3 frame, length & athleticism stand out w/ plenty of room to continue developing physically. Exciting foundation w/ more to come as the arsenal continues to develop.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’29 LHP Townes Cinninger (IN) out together an efficient outing, filling the zone at a 65% clip over 3.1 IP w/ 3 K & 0 BB. Controls the delivery from a high ¾ slot w/ good extension down the mound. FB 83-86 w/ ride, flashing feel to spin the SL at 65-68. @TopTierBaseball @PG_OhioValley #MWChampsCup

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

‘27 OF Christian Cora (IL) launches this one to the wall for a triple and three RBIs. Plenty of impact out of the top of the lineup. #WWBAMW

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

The athleticism on the mound stood out with ’27 RHP Ike Crouser (MN) (@ike_crouser) at the #MWChampsCup. Moved well down the mound with a repeatable delivery, while the low ¾ look created uncomfortable angles for hitters. Plenty to like w/ the pitch-ability & overall arsenal.
An #Uncommitted name to know heading into Jupiter.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’27 C/RHP Ike Crouser (MN) displayed a quick arm from a low ¾ slot & attacked the zone w/ a 3-pitch mix. FB 87-90 w/ sink, SL 75-78 w/ late break, CH 80-81 w/ fade. 2 IP, 2 K, 1 H. Definitely a notable uncommitted arm to watch. @RedsScoutTeam @PG_WiscMinn @PG_Uncommitted #MWChampsCup

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

’28 @RazorbackBSB commit SS Brooks Bond (IA) (@BrooksB0nd) impressed over the course of the #MWChampsCup. Consistently found the barrel while the athleticism showed up on the bases & defensively. Quality actions and instincts at SS with the range to make plays up the middle. Finished 7-for-9 with 2 3B, 3 RBI & 4 SB.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’28 @RazorbackBSB commit SS Brooks Bond (IA) turns on this pitch and drives it deep into RCF for a triple. Quick hands and bat speed on full display here. @SpectsBaseball @IowaPG #MWChampsCup

[Donovan May @DonovanMayBSB]

Really liked the complete mix from ’27 RHP Aiden Gonzales (IL) (@aiden_gonzales1) at the #MWChampsCup. The CH gave him another look off the FB/SL, with the ability to execute all three for strikes. An #Uncommitted arm I’ll be following in the 2027 class.

[Perfect Game Illinois @PG_Illinois]

’27 RHP Aiden Gonzalez (IL) struck out 12 over 5.2 IP w/ just 1 BB, filling the zone at a 68% clip. Controlled delivery w/ a quick arm & deception. Missed bats & changed eye levels. FB 86-90 w/ ride, paired w/ a late-breaking SL at 74-76. @RhinoBaseball #MWChampsCup
