West WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Days 2-3 | Day 4 | Day 5

Not many things are as exciting as an ultra-projectable hitter; Isaiah Jackson (2022, Vail, Ariz.) fits that description to a tee. He features a tall, high-waisted frame with long limbs and plenty of room to develop into a physically imposing body. The center fielder moves his large frame around extremely well with plus athleticism. His long strides allow him to glide around, covering exceptional ground in all directions. There are a lot of balls he gets to easily that other center fielders don’t get to. The swing is where Jackson has the potential to set himself apart. He has plus bat speed with natural loft. There is usable in-game power already. Once the frame fills out, it has a shot to become plus power. The approach needs slight refining, but there is five-tool potential in the Arizona State commit.

Juan Carlos Kalemera (2023, Phoenix, Ariz.) has a frame that stands out immediately on the diamond. It is an extremely mature frame for a player that is as young as he is. There is obvious strength throughout the upper and lower half. Despite the bigger build, he moves around well on both sides of the ball. In the box, he utilizes a simple swing that turns the barrel over well. His strength allows for easy power to be generated that plays to all fields. Kalemera also has above-average hand-eye coordination leading to advanced bat-to-ball skills. The profile will likely always be a power-first bat, but do not sleep on the hit tool. Balls fly off of this guy's barrel resulting in frequent hits and extra-base hits.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2029
Today we wrap up our look back on the leaderboards throughout all the classes, taking a peak at the 2029s who won't enter high school for another year, but that didn't stop them from putting up big numbers.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2027
Today we make our way to the Class of 2027 and it's a class that is already known for its top flight talent, but also the overall depth, that gives it the chance to be a special group come the time they are seniors.

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.
