Cooper Babin (‘28 LA) shows off impressive barrel whip as he gets into a strong position of leverage to drive a double into the LCF gap; 6’1/195 frame w/ power upside and strong torque. #WWBA@PG_DeepSouth@PG_Uncommitted
‘28 TWP Ardan Calegan (LA) matching here early & has been around the zone w/ quality mix. Operating at 83-85 & showing firmer SL at 79-81, athleticism shines. #WWBA@PG_DeepSouth@PG_Uncommitted
‘28 RHP Reis Wascom (LA) threw it well across 5 innings in the start. Settled in nicely after some traffic early. Mostly mid-80s w/ heavy sink from a lower release height. #WWBA@PG_DeepSouth@PG_Uncommitted
‘28 INF Sawyer Shane (LA) tattoos this baseball to the middle of the field for a loud 3-run HR. Really easy bat speed & strength on display here. #WWBA@PG_DeepSouth@PG_Uncommitted
‘28 C Zachary Ray (LA) drives this one through the left side for a base hit. Strong hands & can turn the barrel over. #WWBA@PG_DeepSouth@PG_Uncommitted
🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT 🔥
2028 C/1B/RHP Zachary Ray Jr. (Doyle HS) is off to a scorching start for 16U Dodgers Scout at the 16U Perfect Game WWBA National Championship in Atlanta.
Ray has launched a 400+ foot home run in each of the first two games, putting together one of the hottest starts of the tournament.
After putting in the work on his swing over the last couple of weeks, it’s paying off in a big way. The confidence, approach, and results are all showing up when it matters most.
Keep swinging it, Zach! 👏💣

2028 OF Reese Jones (Doyle HS)
6-2, 198-pounds
Another interesting ‘28 from Tuesday’s #LATPG26 Underclass Event.
A lot of hard contact from G2G. Averaged 95.6 mph off the bat with a max EV of 100.4 mph.
Tied for the second best 10-yard split at a 1.61 and clocked in at a 6.92 in the 60. Also, up to 87 mph from the outfield. #BeSeen

The @knightknation4L 16U Scout group has opened it up here late and 2028 Zach Ray (Doyle HS) puts an ‼️ on their 5th inning.
Jumps on the first pitch that he sees and drives this one out to right field for a two-run home run to extend their lead to 4-0. #BeSeen#NPI26@AlexArmandPBR | @Tyler__Leary
