13u/14u PG Invitational Championship feature


Ike Irish (2022, Hudsonville, Mich.) – The lefty swinging catcher had a good weekend hitting in the middle of the order, showing off a smooth lefthanded swing with some jump off the barrel culminating in multiple upper-80s exit velocities. The power potential projects extremely well and he shows some catch and throw skills with a 2.3 second pop time for a caught stealing attempt in game.

Brock Porter (2022, Milford, Mich.) – After impressing at the 14u Southeast Showcase, Porter upped the ante by touching 86 mph during his time on the mound. Porter throws three pitches for strikes, with advanced feel to spin and good hand speed on the changeup, with a loose, fast arm that projects. The offensive profile is intriguing as well as Porter excels currently at all facets of the game.

Tate Jacobsen (2022, Shawnee, Kan.) – Jacobsen showed out well for the third-place finisher Sticks Baseball. Jacobsen has a strong presence in the middle of the infield where he makes plays to both sides and showed off the arm strength well on the mound with a fastball up to 81 mph later on in the event. The swing is simple, with a direct path and present quickness in his hands where he can spray line drives to all fields.

Ryan Donley (2022, Chesterton, Ind.) – The southpaw started game one for a talented Indiana Bulls team that took third place during the event. Donley has pretty clean, fluid, and repeatable mechanics with a short, loose arm stroke that is consistently on time from an over-the-top arm slot. He creates plane with his fastball that sat 77-80 mph and he creates good angle on the fastball particularly when working to the glove side.

Tyler Cerny (2022, Greenwood, Ind.) – The shortstop for the Bulls showed off a lot of athleticism and barrel skills from the leadoff spot. Cerny handles the barrel well and sprays line drives to all fields while moving well athletically from side to side. The advanced athleticism and feel stand out as Cerny has desirable traits from a future shortstop/leadoff combination.

Keaton Mahan (2022, Hartford City, Ind.) – Showing off some of the biggest juice from the left side was Mahan as he displayed some of the best bat speed of the event. Mahan has a slightly longer, smooth lefthanded stroke with natural loft and leverage to the pull side. He has tremendous strength through the point of impact as he could create exit velocities of 90+ with multiple extra base hits.

Cole Munhall (2022, Cumming, Ga.) – The righthander worked exclusively from the stretch and was near the top of the velocity charts registering a best recorded fastball of 84 mph on the weekend. Munhall flashed some steep downhill plane and sinking action on the 81-84 mph pitch. The arm speed is intriguing and although he is a secondary pitcher, Munhall has a lot of potential on the mound.

Kai Wagner (2022, Parker, Colo.) – Another lefthanded hitting shortstop, Wagner was an integral part of a talented Team Colorado squad that made it to the playoffs. Wagner has a short, repeatable swing that stays on plane nicely and projects well with added strength. In the three-hole, Wagner was a key piece of the offensive attack for Team Colorado and included a big run-scoring triple in the playoffs.

Tony Padilla (2022, Aurora, Colo.) – The cleanup hitter for Team Colorado, Padilla was very impressive behind the dish for the team, as his raw catch-and-throw skills were extremely impressive. He posted best pop times of 2.19 and 2.26 seconds that included a couple of caught stealing attempts, and Padilla’s offensive approach is strength-oriented as he is looking to drive the ball with authority to the pull side.

Colton Sims (2022, Russellville, Ark.) – Another righthander with a loose, fast arm was Sims as he turned in a strong performance that culminated in a win for the Sticks. There is a good amount of balance to the delivery and he showed off one of the best breaking balls of the event with sharp tilt and plenty of power up to 69 mph. The fastball was up in the upper-70s throughout and he projects to throw much harder in the future.

Andrew Dutkanych (2022, Indianapolis, Ind.) – Starting game one of the playoffs with the Bulls, Dutkanych showed off a crisp, repeatable delivery. With a short, repeatable arm stroke and an over-the-top arm slot, Dutkanych gets downhill very well and worked 78-82 mph while maintaining his velocity well. The righthander showed off an effective three-pitch mix, with a changeup at 70 mph and a curveball at 63 mph, and turned in a very polished performance.

Cade Climie (2022, Sugar Land, Tex.) – Climie highlighted a strong pitching matchup between himself and Brock Porter of the Hitdogs. The righthander worked up to 81 mph with balance to the delivery and a loose arm stroke. The curveball could be thrown for strikes and Climie is also a legitimate two-way prospect as he swing the stick well in the cleanup spot for Mizuno with natural loft and quickness.

William Turner (2022, Hartselle, Ala.) – The southpaw twirled a gem against an impressive offensive squad as Turner went six and two-thirds strong for Hartselle. Turner has a loose, easy arm stroke with a fastball up to 78 mph with lots of present arm side life to the pitch. He mixes his pitches well in a low effort delivery, including a curveball for strikes, and projects very well with advanced command and feel on the mound.

Jaden Anderson (2022, Milton, Ga.) - Anderson showed off lots of strength and pull side pop from the cleanup spot for Team Elite as he launched a screaming line drive home run during the championship final. Anderson works almost exclusively to pull the ball but has lots of bump and carry off the barrel when squared and looks the part of an intriguing power prospect for the class.

Wyatt Fooks (2022, Dacula, Ga.) - The two-hole for championship finalist Team Elite, Fooks has present bat speed and hand quickness from the right side. Fooks put on a pretty strong display of plate awareness and bat-to-ball skills, as the righthanded hitter grinded out tough at-bats and put good swings on the ball when putting it in play. The line drive stroke works well with squared liners to all fields and he looks the part of an impressive hitter for his class.

Cooper Blausser (2022, Alpharetta, Ga.) - Showing off a strong array of tools during the event was the Team Elite shortstop Blausser with present athleticism, speed, and barrel control all standing out. He was timed at a best 4.6 seconds to first base from the right side and the athleticism plays well over at shortstop where he gets correct and quick first steps on hard grounders and has no issues fielding to either side. The arm strength is pretty good for the age and the swing is fluid as his hands work well into the swing and he has no problems turning the barrel over for hard hit contact almost every at-bat.

– Vincent Cervino


Charlie Bussey (2022, Graniteville, S.C.) – Bussey is a very athletic player and showed it during Saturday’s double header both at the plate and in the infield. The South Carolina native can really swing the bat with advanced raw bat speed. On top of that he is a quick twitch middle infielder that makes each play with ease and smooth hands.

Zac Dart (2022, Spanish Fork, Utah) – Dart has a really athletic delivery featuring good fastball command. He was up to 80 mph on Saturday consistently living in the upper-70s. The 6-foot 155-pound righthander projects very well on the mound and showed potential with his curveball as well.

Binyam Gebhardt (2022, Valley Center, Calif.) – Gebhardt is an athletic outfielder with good arm strength for his age. In right field on one play in particular Gebhardt made a diving play ranging to his right. He then popped up firing a strike to first base to double up a base runner.

Chate Amick (2022, Jeffersonville, Ind.) – Amick started for the Indiana Bulls on Saturday earning a win in doing so and showed a high ceiling as a righthanded pitcher as well. Amick’s delivery features a really loose arm and clean delivery. Amick sat 78-81 mph with his fastball and really projects nicely as a pitcher.

Grant Fahrlander (2022, Carmel, Ind.) -  The Indiana Bulls catcher showed advanced tools behind the plate. With a quick transfer and accurate arm in the Bulls’ 6-1 win Saturday, Fahrlander threw out a runner with a strike to the right side of the second base bag.

Tanner Folds (2021, Calhoun, Ga.) – One of the older players in the event is lefthander Tanner Folds of the Georgia Scorpions. The lefty’s fastball sat 76-79 with occasional life to his arm side. Folds has a working arm and throws with intent for strikes.

Payton McCracken (2022, Murphy, N.C.) – McCracken has a wiry build and sat 76-81 while touching 82 in his first inning on the mound. While struggling with command on this day, McCracken did still show a quick arm and good velocity for the Tri State Arsenal.

Donavan Canterberry (2022, Wyandotte, Mich.) – Canterberry worked 78-80 mph for Tri State. He throws with some effort, but generates good arm speed an angle. He pumps his glove to start his delivery and when doing so, it gets the arm going nicely through the circle and Canterberry’s arm really works. With Canterberry’s size at 6-foot 155-pounds and arm speed, it is likely the righthander will throw hard in the years to come.

He finished the day with five hits in six at-bats which included four doubles and six runs batted in. His two doubles and four runs batted in played a big part in the Gold Playoffs Round 1 victory over the talented BPA squad out of California.

Slo-mo look at the swing by Jordan Ransom (‘26, AZ) #PGHS @QCHS_Athletics @PG_Draft https://t.co/fyPaOimF5k pic.twitter.com/T7yH6a1qRI — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 29, 2026 OF Ryan Harwood, Casteel (Ariz).  Harwood is one of the premier draft names in the state and showed why in the regular season finale. The Texas A&M commit collected a pair of hits and also threw a runner out at home from left field. Harwood possesses impressive physicality that can produce big impact at the plate. The profile has middle of the order upside. Defensively, Harwood profiles best for a corner outfield spot long term. The arm strength may allow him to slide over to right field, as he can produce strong on-line carry. Harwood showed off that arm strength on the mound, where he threw the last inning and ran the heater up to 91 mph. IF Jordan Ransom, Queen Creek...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 29

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Across all three divisions of college baseball, the teams making the most noise heading into the postseason share a common trait — they score runs, and they score them relentlessly. Along with the updated rankings, this week we take a look at the top run-producing programs in DII, DIII and NAIA baseball, spotlighting a trio of teams from each division whose offenses have separated themselves from the field. The numbers tell a compelling story. Whether it's the defending NAIA champion LSU Shreveport Pilots reloading with a new roster yet still posting 10+ runs per game, the Pittsburg State Gorillas hanging blowout after blowout on opponents, or the Lynchburg Hornets making a case as the most complete team in Division III baseball, the formula is largely the same — deep lineups, disciplined at-bats, and the ability to keep pressure on a pitching staff from the first pitch to...

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Jarren Advincula – Georgia Tech  Last week, Fernando Mendoza was taken with the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza transferred from the University of California – Berkeley (Cal) to Indiana University in advance of his draft year. Upon transferring, he won the Heisman Trophy and led the Hoosiers to a national championship. Advincula also transferred from Cal in advance of his draft year, but he took his talents to Georgia Tech. And, while there is still time left in the season, Advincula has positioned himself to be in the conversation for College Baseball’s...

Perfect Game Staff

Dawson Weller (2027, Ottumwa, IA) showcased his two-way potential with a strong performance this weekend. On the mound, worked two clean innings while striking out 3 consistently living in the zone and getting ahead with first-pitch strikes. Showed the ability to control tempo and attack hitters throughout the outing. At the plate made a big impact in the same game, collecting two doubles and a home run.

College Players of the Week: April 28

Craig Cozart
Article Image
April 28th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jarren Advincula, IF, Georgia Tech  It is well documented how good the Georgia Tech offense was in 2025, so when the Yellow Jackets added Jarren Advincula from the transfer portal in the off-season, the expectations went through the roof for ’26.  Somehow, the team and Advincula have not only met but exceeded those expectations in virtually every way.  Advincula, the 6-2/195 infielder from Santa Clara, CA, has been a fixture in the middle infield and is an elite defender with the leather.  He shows natural instincts for the game and as the season has progressed, he has found himself inserted into the 3-hole in their powerful lineup.  Hitting from the left-side of the plate, Advincula put together an impressive week as Tech took down Georgia in the mid-week and swept Wake Forest on the weekend.  He was...

It was another weekend of upsets, upheaval and consequential series victories across the nation.  After the dust settled, the UCLA Bruins (39-4) remain the No. 1 team in the nation after their (3-1) week stepping outside Big Ten play, taking a series against Sacramento State.  Their perfect (21-0) start in conference play is still intact with three weekend series to go.  UNC (36-8) sticks at No. 2 this week after they went across town to take on archrival Duke, winning that series and finishing the week with a (3-1) record.  The No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (36-7) showed their moxie by coming back from large deficits multiple times and swept conference foe Wake Forest, extending their lead in the ACC standings to 2-games.  The Texas Longhorns (32-9) are No. 4 in the poll this week after winning a tightly contested series on the road against Vanderbilt. ...
