17u PG Super25 National Championship

Day 2 of the Super25 National Championship promised to be as talented as the first day. With many great matchups completed at Boombah Sports Complex in Sanford, Fla., let’s take a look back at some of the talent that was on display.

The 8:15 a.m. game on field A2 was a talent filled game with a matchup between ChandlerWorld 2019 and Stars Baseball 17u Red. Stars Baseball 17u Red started off the game with righthanded pitcher Hunter Bell (2019, Centreville, Va.) on the bump. Bell looks the part at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds and he did a great job of attacking the zone with the fastball. His fastball sat at 81-86 and topped out at 87 mph, and he also mixed in an effective slider that kept hitters off balance.

Nick Burch (2019, Hollywood, Md.) led the way offensively for the Stars, ending the game at 3-for-3 with two runs scored as well as two RBIs. He was able to showcase his ability to hit the ball to all fields. Burch has a swing that will consistently put balls in play with a level bat path and a barrel that stays in the zone for a long time. After the 2019 season, Burch will play his college ball at Navy.

Ben Williamson (2019, South Riding, Va.) also impressed at the plate. He was able to drive in three runs with a triple at the plate. Williamson showed impressive speed out of the box as well as a touch of power to the pull side.

ChandlerWorld 2019’s Miguel Larreal (2019, Orlando, Fla.) was more than good at shortstop. His soft hands and above average footwork made him a vacuum for ChandlerWorld. Larreal is a lefthanded hitter that possesses a great feel for the strike zone and an advance approach at the plate.

Carlos Guzman (2020, Winter Garden, Fla.) shows promise at the plate. With a slight uppercut bat path, Guzman has a pull-side approach at the plate. With some signs of power, watch out for Guzman going forward. He also is a great moving catcher with above average footwork.

First Move strolled out for the 10:15 a.m. time slot against TNXL Ducks, and for First Move Elliot Hayward (2019, Old Bridge, N.J.) had a good day at the plate, going 1-for-3. More impressively, Hayward showed his ability to hit the ball to all fields from the left side. He also showed a highly advanced approach at the plate with a short, compact swing and a level bat path.

Taj Muhammad (2020, Somerset, N.J.) proved to be a force at the plate for First Move. He went 1-for-3 with one home run. Muhammad was able to square the ball up two out of his three at-bats. He showed extreme power and quick hands as he was able to hit an 89 mph fastball over the left field fence. He had a downhill bat path which creates a lot of backspin off his bat.

Tyrell Brewer (2019, Orlando, Fla.) had a triple in Tuesday’s game against First Move. His speed out of the box was impressive to say the least. Brewer also showed athletic play in the middle infield. He has a plus arm from shortstop and above average range. Brewer is Committed to Florida State.

Hylan Hall (2019, Ocoee, Fla.) Impressed in a different way on Tuesday after impressing at the plate on Monday. Toeing the rubber, Hall showcased an explosive fastball which topped at 93 mph and sat 87-90. He also flashed a cutter at 86 and a developing curveball at 70.

Brandon Drapeau (2019, Mullica Hill, N.J.) went 2-for-2 on Tuesday with a home run and two RBIs for Mid-Atlantic Show – Kerr. His 6-foot-6, 225-pound frame has a knack for elevating the baseball. Drapeau has very quick hands, a longer swing and really looks to pull the ball. He does a great job of using his size to his advantage at the plate as well as defensively at first base. Drapeau is committed to St. Joseph’s.


14u PG Super25 National Championship

The 14u PG Super25 National Championship has shown some of the most impressive young talent from around the country. Here are a few of the standout names from the first two days.

Noah Kuhaneck (2021, Ludowici, Ga.) was impressive at the plate for the Game On Vipers. Kuhaneck went 2-for-3 with a double against the Huntington Patriots. He has a slight uppercut bat path and a pull mentality. Kuhaneck is a big kid at 6-foot, 225-pounds and is a wall behind the plate for the Vipers.

Titans Baseball 14’s Blue’s Will Fincher (2022, Marietta, Ga.) had a very advanced approach at the plate. Fincher was able to go 2-for-4 with a double on Tuesday. He has a 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame that projects well with room to fill. Fincher had above average speed on the basepaths and an advanced baseball IQ.

Riley Stanford (2022, Gainesville, Ga.) was back on the mound for the Georgia Bombers (Hill). Stanford showed his usual overpowering fastball and a 11-to-5 break to his curveball. His fastball topped out at 87, ranged from 81-86 and also mixed in a 69 mph curveball.

Nicolas Bronzini (2022, San Ramon, Calif.) is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefthanded pitcher that threw from Demons – 14u. Bronzini threw for 1 2/3 innings and showcased a fastball that reached 83 mph. He was able to get hitters out with only his fastball with excellent location and arm-side run, striking out five batters in total.  With a high three-quarters arm slot, he was able to be deceptive with just his fastball.

Jaron Nevarez (2022, San Ramon, Calif.) also showcased his lefthanded arm for the Demons – 14u team. Nevarez was able to change speeds well with his 82 mph fastball as well as a 70 mph curveball. He threw with a high three-quarters arm slot and had impressive arm-side run on the fastball.

Carson Applegate (2022, Columbus, N.J.) threw for Keystone Diamondbacks. Applegate showed great power on the mound for the Diamondbacks. His fastball topped at 86 and sat at 83 mph. Throwing exclusively from the stretch, his fastball had very good arm-side run. Applegate fielded his position well and was athletic bouncing off the mound. He threw 3 2/3 innings only allowing one run. At the plate, Applegate showed advanced bat speed and a keen eye.

Probably the most electric player in the 14u event for the first two days would be Lorenzo Carrier (2021, Bear, Del.). Carrier has a fastball that he ran up to 89 mph. to accompany the overpowering fastball, he also threw a curveball with 11-to-5 break that kept hitters off balance, and he was able to throw if for strikes when he needed it. Carrier, much like Applegate, was impressive at the plate as well. His long lanky body (6-foot-3, 170-pounds) makes him projectible at many positions. Carrier showed a short, inside-out swing with a level bat path and above average speed around the basepaths.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

The Georgia native possesses tremendous upside on the mound, working from a long and lean right-handed frame that displays projection and athleticism. Jones starts over the face before working to the belt and into a higher pronounced leg lift. He fires down the mound via a standard-length arm action and high three-quarters slot.

College Top 25: March 23

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...
