Friday July 16
Leadoff hitter and ‘22 1B @meisner_connor (Blue Mountain / @NortheastExpos) with sneaky leverage in the box (91 mph EV). Trusts the hands which work G2G w/ efficiency. Solid runner too posting 7.06 footspeed. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/Lzg0ues4dL

‘22 OF/LHP Shane Thompson (Slippery Rock) is a tough out, finding plenty of barrels over the course of the day. Lengthy, proj frame with ATH (6.95 runner) and commands three pitches on the bump T83. Hard L7 here?.#PASelect | @pbrt_east | @northeasttwins pic.twitter.com/7PAKLu9gOD
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
‘23 OF Chase Petrilyak (Marian Catholic) breaks up the no hitter on this line drive back up the middle. Squares the ball up to induce a knuckling line drive that plates a runner to cut the deficit to 3 runs pic.twitter.com/Xn9WjLPbLw
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
Might want to pay attention to ‘23 OF/LHP Damien Witty (Hurricane, WV). Big time tools w/ the bat leading the way. Exits in the mid 90’s and ran the FB up to T83 on the bump w/ feel for spin on secondary. Two-way potential⬆️.#PASelect | @AcesAppalachian | @PBRWestVirginia pic.twitter.com/5oj01mbXNb
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
‘22 RHP Luke Brooks (Hastings) puts together a selfless AB and gets the barrel out on the backed up slider. Heads up base running allows him to advance to second on the missed cut off throw from right. Was up to 79 MHP on the bump in the first game today pic.twitter.com/Yz1wF1JdId
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
‘22 C Tom Rohan (Holy Cross) cuts down the runner at second. Rohan has previously been a 1.94-2.02 when we’ve had eyes on him in the past. Exceptional defender that communicates well w/ the infield. Vocal leader pic.twitter.com/3GJKWsCSmR
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
Defense is on display here as ‘22 RHP/OF Eric Rhodes puts his throw from right field on the money to the catcher. Rhodes was up to 81 MPH off the mound this morning w/ ADV command of a sweeping slurve pic.twitter.com/fDXcof2qSw
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
Really like the breaking stuff from ‘22 LHP @SawyerPrince20 (Port Allegany). Tough 67 SL under righties and ASR on a 76-77 mph FB to arm-side. Projection is there (6-3, 167lbs). #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @northeasttwins pic.twitter.com/1gZLxniauI
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
6-3, 230lb 2022 RHP/1B Kaden Hoffman (Shikellamy HS) swings with ease as shoots this ball to the right field fence. Simple pickup and put down at the plate on the front side and gets the barrel to the ball smoothly. Mature actions to take this ball the other way pic.twitter.com/kD2xiCWIX8
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
‘22 C @BHort21 (Sayre Area) all over a double in the late innings. 75 mph bat-speed and pop times hovering around 2.00 in-game. Quick runner too with lots to like in his game. @LibertyBaseball recruit. @KSBombers | #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/1gMs3zWLQp
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
#Uncommitted ‘22 LHP Sebastian Rosado Guindin (Norwin / @hardcoreelitepa) commanding down at 81-82, T83 w/ ASR action away from RHH. Getting groundballs, weak contact, and pounding in ADV counts. Mixed good CH and 1/7 breaker (67-68). Interesting follow.#PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/GrwRmK2Y2h

Nice short, compact swing from ‘22 MIF @jvanbenscho10 (Courtland, VA) but got robbed of a walkoff single on a beautiful play by SS. Swung it well w/ hands that play quickly to all quadrants. #PASelect | @PBRVirginiaDC | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/H5TQjmQnjO

‘22 RHP/1B @devonboyles11 (Central-Martinsburg) with big-time projection in multiple phases. Runs the FB into the upper 80’s at 6-5, 190lbs, and opens scoring w/ a laced RBI single over 3B’s head. Game impacting abilities; @RadfordBaseball recruit. #PASelect | @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/y5v704w1So
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
#Uncommitted ‘22 SS @aidansteinbugl (Altoona Area / @FloodCityElite) carrying a hot stick over the course of the year. Always on time w/ connection to pull. Handles both sides of the plate with juice up in the zone. RBI single thru to extend the lead. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/RYLTzUSvDS
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 16, 2021
#Uncommitted ‘22 RHP @CzajkowskiNoah (Norwin / @FloodCityElite) overcoming adversity after the delay. Gained +3 mph attacking w/ slight cut to both sides. Good separation and #spinwins on FB/CB combo. 3IP, H, 4K, R

‘22 SS/RHP @lucas_muffie21 (Altoona Area / @FloodCityElite) working exclusively w/ the FB out of the pen, holding 83-84 to glove side. ATH shines, posting sub-7.00 60-yard dash times over the past year. A definite follow thru his rising Senior campaign. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/TusdHH0MXx
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
‘24 RHP @GraysonWeikel (Souderton Area / @PA_Shockers) is going to throw hard in the near future. Feel for both pitches (FB/CB) w/ a long, lean frame (5-11, 175lbs). Missing barrels in his first two scoreless innings.

And @YetiSelect takes the lead in the 5th on a clutch 2-run double from ‘23 3B @Cru94310209 (Central Mountain)! Competitive at-bats and collected his second knock of the game. #PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/jFOYTOu9XR
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
‘22 RHP Kydreece Burks (Williamsport Area / @YetiSelect) w/ ADV pitchability here in the late night. Gamer traits and set hitters up in sequences (high FB, buried CB with 2K). Feel for three, complete game W on the bump.

‘22 RHP Colten Cornell (Forest Hills) is cruising along in his first inning of work, getting the fastball up to 85 MPH but settling in at 83-84 MPH. Plays the steep breaker off his fastball nicely. Elevated FB—>big CB combo generates a lot of guessed at bats pic.twitter.com/H9nxKk4FnJ
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
‘24 LHP Brett Smith (Springfield Township / @Banditsball) w/ a repeatable delivery and reach into the glove. Flashing ASR off the plate away from RHH, mixing tight 73-74 breaker thrown hard. K to lead things off in the night cap. T80 with more available.#PASelect | @pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/Od2BqUt7Qo
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
‘24 RHP @bryantyoak25 (Little Kanawha Valley Christian, WV) able to add and subtract to the FB, living 78-80 with an occasional 68-71 mph curve. Has been up to as high as T84 back in Feb; interesting follow as he matures. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRWVScouts | @wv_pbr pic.twitter.com/H2HII3eHEs
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
Going to want to circle ‘24 OF @TrippCaper (Germantown Acad / @Banditsball). One of the most impressive pop-up prospects at #PASelect. Plus runner with quick-twitch found on a first-inning 3B to LCF. Settles for a 1B here, going 4.39 on a turn from right side.@pbrt_east pic.twitter.com/CQ8r7tn07t
— PBR-PA Ground Forces (@PBR_PA_Scouts) July 17, 2021
‘24 RHP @KochanowiczCole (La Salle College / @Banditsball) has a chance to be special. Closer for the state champs in 6A as a true Frosh, pounds the zone w/ rare poise and feel for 3️⃣. More velo coming for already sneaky FB.

Not a lot that ‘24 C @jslater_26 (Downingtown STEM) can’t do. 1.96 pop between innings and this after a laser triple to LF last AB. High priority follow behind the dish. #PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRPennsylvania pic.twitter.com/QOcx33O3fy

‘21 SS and @PotomacStateBB signee @gbib20 (Philip Barbour, WV) showing big-time juice to pull narrowly missing a no-doubt HR. Settles for a loud single the other way; complete hitter w/ twitchy hand-speed.#PASelect | @pbrt_east | @PBRWestVirginia | @AcesAppalachian pic.twitter.com/T0run4GxUb
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) July 15, 2021
‘23 @VandyBoys recruit/RHP @GuthLuke (Franklin / @KSBombers) wasting zero time early, going after hitters w/ plus arm-talent and a bulldog mentality. Command better than in previous looks. 3IP, 0H, 5K.

We've talked a lot about the offensive abilities of '22 MIF Jack Kail (@PetersTwpSports), but the defense may be even better. Feet never stop moving, and the transition time is elite!#PASelect @pbrt_east @PghDawgs pic.twitter.com/UNFuxolHWD
