Players from all around the Mid-Atlantic descended on the Richmond area for the 14U and 15U tournaments. Here are some players who stood out for Maryland Scouting Director Jamie Naill, Maryland and Virginia Director Jerry Shank, and Virginia Scouting Director Jason Burton:

Ryan Beck 3B / RHP / Wakefield, VA / 2025

Nice short stroke here from @PrimeTimeBSBLL ‘25 Ryan Beck (Wakefield) as he singles thru the right side.

Taller setup and nice rhythm at the plate. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/sezz4FISup

Chris Coombs SS / La Plata, MD / 2025

A lot to like from ‘25 SS Chris Coombs (@LaPlataBaseball / KSI Elite)

After a solid day at the plate last night, Coombs stays hot w/ another bullet RBI single into LCF. Slight twitch in the hands w/ strong LD tendencies. ‘25 to watch @PBRMaryland #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/xR8ESzIkMC

This ball was absolutely sizzled off the bat of ‘25 Austin Dean (@IretonBaseball / @ACEEliteTravel1)

Creates extension thru w/ plenty of strength to the pull side, but runs into tough luck here as it’s smoked right at the RF’er@ksallday19 @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/4YInQisPtD

Bennett Lineberry MIF / Cosby, VA / 2025

‘25 MIF Bennett Lineberry (@cosby_baseball / @rbasouth)

Quick to contact here as he hooks one down the LF line for a standup 2B. Level path w/ strength to the pull side@PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/Ztp8lq0Ap6

Evan Nix LHP / 1B / Hanover, VA / 2025

Got a chance to sneak down and watch what has been a stellar performance from Nix thus far. The @HanoverBaseball LHP/OF has been really good early.

Feel for 3. Advanced feel for spin and getting whiffs at both ends of the zone. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp https://t.co/0onTyIycJw pic.twitter.com/bCHDRmz6F1

Jack Rubin 1B / RHP / Yorktown, VA / 2025

‘25 Jack Rubin (@YTWNBSBLL) @PrimeTimeBSBLL

Imposing frame hitting from tall setup. Attacks this pitch for a huge go ahead RBI double. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/7SWq88d7Wh

Joseph Todd C / Wakefield, VA / 2025

‘25 Joseph Todd (Wakefield) @PrimeTimeBSBLL

Taller, quiet setup at the plate. Simple smooth stroke who has looked good at the plate today. Here drives a ball thru to LF for the single. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/0ryCPxH0iB

Ben Wilson UTILITY / LaPlata, MD / 2025

This KSI Elite team can really swing it, and ‘25 OF Ben Wilson (@LaPlataBaseball) joins the party w/ this RBI single thru the 6-hole

Hands stay inside the ball well here w/ 2 strikes, staying level thru contact. @PBRMaryland @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRVADCSummerChamp pic.twitter.com/H7Kdc5azqZ

Noah Yoder RHP / Atlee, VA / 2025

Really intriguing look at @AtleeBaseball / @mph101squads ‘25 Noah Yoder.

Projectable 6-3. Lands closed & works across FB. Some ride up. Feel for SL has been inconsistent, but shape and speed are there.

2024 Bobby Burke (@baronsbaseball)

Deliberate, build up in delivery. Longer, free arm action from a H3/4 slot. Gets some ASR to the fastball. BB has short 10/4 action that tunnels well w/FB.
