17U WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6

Unique delivery, 90-93 mph FB, deceptive CH, avg SL and a 6-6 frame. Plenty there to project on from RHP Ryan Johnson (2021 TX). Plenty of strikes, really interesting follow in Texas. #DBU commit. @PerfectGameUSA @DTigerBaseball https://t.co/KCyzaHJedK

6-6 righthander Ryan Johnson (2021, Red Oak, TX) was in complete control from start to finish for the Dallas Tigers to open day 2 of the playoffs at 17U WWBA. Johnson’s delivery is deceptive and unique in the way he stays short with his stride to the plate and with his leg lift. Johnson pretty simply turns and fires to the plate with outstanding arm strength to sit 90-93 mph with a great feel for two additional secondary pitches. His changeup is the better of the two pitches at present with lots of deception at 84-86 mph. He tunnels the pitch well and has the makings of an out pitch for him in the future. Johnson has the potential to throw extremely hard in the years to come as he adds more of his lower half to his delivery. The strike throwing ability was above average for Johnson in this look as he struck out eight hitters and walked just one in five innings of work.

Class of 2028 Tourney All-American Team
It’s to no surprise that these teams are chalked full of talented young prospects as many of the players ranked in the Top 100 of this class fill up both sets of Tournament All-American teams, but there are many individuals on these lists that aren’t yet ranked and performed at a level this year that is recognized.

Class of 2029 Tourney All-American Team
We'll open up by saying this; putting together these two teams wasn't an easy task and we could've easily filled another 2 teams without breaking a sweat. There's a mix of Festivalers from last year's 13u game, top 100 ranked players and others who put together spectacular 2024 campaigns and are more than deserving of this recognition.
