BPA holds steady for 11u Major Title

EMERSON, Ga. – BPA capped off an impressive tournament run that saw them run through the competition and culminated with an 8-1 victory over the East Cobb Astros. The bats and arms were both impressive all weekend as they finished with a 29-5 run differential over the four games that finished with a big win in the championship round.

Christian Ponte was outstanding in the victory on the mound for BPA. The pitcher was very impressive as he finished with five and two-thirds innings and he struck out seven batters. The pitches were tough to square up as he allowed only two hits during the start on the mound and also collected a hit and two walks at the plate.

The offense took center stage with eight total runs which included seven hits and five walks. Elijah Stephens went 2-4 with the lone extra base hit and Cole Prosek notched the most RBIs with two of them off a single.

Prosek was named the MVP of the tournament as he hit .583 with seven RBI and ended the event with hitting more extra base hits than singles, four to three. The MV-Pitcher of the tournament was Cooper Flemming of BPA. Flemming was outstanding during his one start of the event with six and one-third innings with no earned runs and struck out nine batters.

Lambert Longhorns walk off CBC Frye at 11u Minor

EMERSON, Ga. – In a very tense game that came down to a walkoff victory, the Lambert Longhorns outlasted CBC Frye by a final score of 6-5. A back-and-forth affair that featured a big comeback by CBC, although the Longhorns proved too much to overcome.

Shortstop Sam Schaeffer was a strong presence at the top of the lineup with one hit, though the one hit was a big one as it was a home run. Schaeffer totaled one home run, one RBI, and three runs scored. Grant Gardner also had a strong game as he was credited with the victory and also went 2-2 with two runs scored.

CCC tied the game in the top of the fifth inning with three runs to extend the game. Schaeffer scored the game winning run in the bottom of the seventh after walking, stealing second base, and then scoring on an error.

Brady Elrod of CBC was named the MV-Pitcher of the tournament. Elrod allowed only one earned run on two hits while striking out seven batters over six and two-thirds innings. Jake Stuetzer of the Longhorns was named the MVP. Stuetzer finished the weekend hitting .429 with five RBI.

Georgia Braves Clinch Major Crown

EMERSON, Ga. – The Georgia Braves defeated the 12u Cougars by a score of 4-3 in the championship game of the 2018 PG 12U Invitational (Major Division). Each team showed throughout the tournament that they were going to be a tough out for their opponents.

It took four innings for the Braves offense to get going, but they came up when it mattered putting runs on the board in each of the final three innings. Down 1-0 in the fourth inning, the Braves scored their first run to tie the game. The run came on an error by the Cougars as Tristan Gabrels came across the plate to score. As mentioned the Braves would score another run in the fifth to take a 2-1 lead. The fifth inning run was scored by Joshua Bull on a Gabrels RBI groundout.

The sixth and final inning the Braves put two more runs across the plate that proved to be just enough to seal the deal. Colton Wilbanks would score on a wild pitch after singling to get on base. Cooper Johnson would double home another run this time Ajay Jones would come across. The score was 4-1 going into the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cougars would score 2 in the bottom half of the sixth, but that was not quite enough as the game concluded with a 4-3 score.

The Braves received outstanding starting pitching from Tristan Gabrels who pitched to the pitch count limit and earned a win. Gabrels struck out 5 and allowed just 2 earned runs in his 5 2/3 innings on the hill.

The MVP of the tournament was Evan Dickens of the 12U Courgars. Dickens had an impressive weekend batting 8-16 (.500) including 5 of those hits going for extra bases and 2 of those being home runs. He also brought home a tournament-best 9 RBI in doing so.

The MVPitcher of the 2018 PG 12U Invitational (Major Division) was Brady Stephens of the championship winning Georgia Braves. Stephens finished the weekend earning a win against Titans Baseball Blue as he threw a complete 6 inning shutout on just 65 pitches. Stephens allowed just one hit in his complete game and struck out 3 in doing so.

Reign Baseball reigns supreme at 12U Minor

EMERSON, Ga. – Reign Baseball scored early and often in the championship of the 2018 PG 12U Invitational (Minor Division) to defeat the Lambert Longhorns by a score of 8-6. Each team totaled the same amount of hits as runs scored respectively.

Lambert scored a run in the top of the first and second innings, but Reign answered back each time with a 3 spot of their own. The damage was done early in the first inning by Reign as John Beverley scored on a wild pitch after walking to lead off the game. Collin Hart stepped to the plate with one out and a man on third base and proceeded to hit an inside-the-park home run to right field to put two more runs on the board making the score 3-1.

In the second inning Adain Bonner would double with one out to begin the next scoring threat. Gregorio Gonzalez would drive him with an RBI single of his own to push the Reign lead to 4-2. After a Brendan Keller single put himself and Gonzalez at the corners, Joe Crick would drive each of them in with a double of his own.

Reign Baseball would not look back as they would add two more insurance runs in the fourth inning to secure the championship victory.

The MVP of the 2018 PG 12U Invitational (Minor Division) was Garrett Powers of the Lambert Longhorns. Powers led the entire event in hits (9) and RBI (12) as he batted 9-15 (.600) with a pair of home runs on the weekend.

2026 Perfect Game Softball Turf Wars January 9-11 Ashley Mears   The 2026 season kicked off in impressive fashion at the Fun City Dome in Burlington, Iowa, featuring a highly competitive field across both age groups. The 18U division was loaded with talent, including over 20 Division I and II commits and several high-upside prospects, leading to intense bracket play and multiple walk-off finishes. Iowa Nationals claimed the championship over a well-rounded Iowa Prospects Gold team. The 14U division brought together quality programs from Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. The tournament championship was an exciting matchup where Southeast Iowa Swarm edged a tough Black Dragons squad. 18u Lauren Hagedorn (2026, Adel, IA) of Iowa Nationals and future Iowa State Cyclone earned weekend MVP honors after a strong two-way performance.

Top 100 Collegiate Seniors

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen | Top 100 Collegiate Sophomores | Top 100 Collegiate Juniors This senior board is one of the deepest we’ve assembled in years. From experienced weekend arms with power stuff, to proven position players coming off loud 2025 spring seasons, to former prospects returning from injury and looking to reestablish their status, impact players are scattered throughout the group. Headlining the board is Maika Niu, now at Arkansas after a strong season at Marshall and an MVP summer on the Cape. Nui is a high-level athlete in center field and a legitimate offensive force who should slide seamlessly into the heart of the Razorbacks’ lineup. Close behind are two premium arms in Ole Miss’s Hunter Elliott and Kentucky’s Jaxon Jelkin. Elliott is coming off a monster 2025 spring, going 10–3 with a 2.94 ERA and 104 strikeouts, and...

This list aligns with the PG Draft lists we compiled at the top, with Roch Cholowsky, Drew Burress, and AJ Gracia rounding out the top three. There’s a litany of storylines to follow this year, with players who have tons of draft upside or players looking to be impactful players among their respective programs.

Talent is present all across the board, with players who could make some serious statements this year.

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 sophomores on campus this spring.  This list is chalk full of talent, with future draft prospects littered top to bottom. The headliner of this group is Derek Curiel, a draft eligible sophomore that took the SEC by storm last spring. The Perfect Game All-American posted a .990 OPS over the course of a full season and is projected to vault himself further up the board during his ‘26 campaign. An electric arm in Dax Whitney follows up Curiel, with Strosnider, Lawson and Franco rounding out the top five.  Keep tabs on the draft eligible sophomores in this group come the summer. The rest of the pack are eligible for next year’s draft and figure to feature at the top of many draft lists in ‘27.  Rk. Name Level Pos. B-T School Hometown...

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 freshmen on campus this spring.  Three high-end arms lead the way, starting with Jack Bauer. The Mississippi State left-hander reached triple digits as a prep and is sure to make an immediate impact this spring. UCLA right-hander Angel Cervantes was selected in the 2nd round of last year’s draft but held firm on his commitment and should be an impact arm for the Bruins. Following the arms, a collection of bats rounds out the Top 10. There is loads of upside to the group with the potential and they should draw considerable playing time as freshman.  As the list gets deeper, there are plenty of players that should pop up and make significant contributions both this year and years down the line. The class has both depth and talent, making for a very intriguing group of...
