TNXL Academy takes 17u PG Super25

SANFORD, Fla. – 14 teams clashed for the 17u PG Super25 National Championship, and on Championship Friday, TNXL Academy came out on top with an 8-6 victory over Mid Atlantic Show 17u-Kerr at the BOOMBAH Sports Complex in Sanford.

Leading 4-3 in the fifth inning, TNXL used a three-run frame spearheaded by Elian Roman (2019, Orlando, Fla.), who lined a two-out RBI single, and Chenar Brown (2019, Clermont, Fla.) plating two more runs with a double to right to provide the cushion needed to withstand a late rally from the Show in the seventh.

With two runs already across and the tying run at the plate, Florida State commit Tyrell Brewer (2019, Orlando, Fla.) locked down the title for TNXL with a strikeout to close out a three-inning stint of relief in support of starter Hylan Hall (2019, Ocoee, Fla.).

TNXL was lifted by six shutout innings by tournament MV-Pitcher Dylan Simmons (2019, Jacksonville, Fla.) to come away with a 2-0 semifinal victory over the Salty Dawgs.

Brown drove in the lone runs in the semifinal with one swing of that bat as his two-run triple in the fourth inning gave Simmons, a Florida State commit, all the support he needed as he allowed just one hit and struck out six.

On the other side of the bracket, the Show used a six-run blitz in the second inning of their 6-4 semifinal victory over Stars Baseball 17U Red that included a three-run home run from Fairleigh Dickinson signee Theodore Sparks (2018, Woodbury, N.J.) to advance to the final.

St. Joesph’s commit Brandon Drapeau (2019, Mullica Hill, N.J.) came an out away from a complete game for the Show in the semifinal, setting up the title game matchup of two teams featuring Division-I commits littered all across both rosters.

In the championship game, it was TNXL who went ahead in the first inning as Roman lined an RBI single to left with two outs.

In the second, TNXL added three more runs as they took advantage of a two-out error that brought in two runs and a wild pitch tacked on another to make it a 4-0 lead.

The Show fought back in the bottom of the third as they plated three runs with Drapeau lining an RBI single, and a bases-loaded walk and a fielder’s choice cutting the margin to just a run at 4-3.

After TNXL’s three-run fifth, with again all of its run coming with two outs, the Show put a rally together as three straight hits opened the home half. UNC-Charlotte commit Chase Burroughs (2019, Mechanicsville, Md.) doubled to left to open the frame and came in to score on a Zach Fisher (2018, Hancocks Bridge, N.J.) single up the middle.

TNXL got great work out of Brewer, who came on for the starter Hall in the fifth, as the right-hander retired the next three batters to send the game to the sixth with a 7-4 lead for TNXL.

Hall, a Florida commit, produced an insurance run in the seventh as his two-out triple to right kept the inning alive and he was able to race home on a ball in the dirt to make it an 8-4 game with TNXL needing three more outs.

The Show were gifted back-to-back walks to start the seventh, and Drapeau again came up with a run-scoring hit as he doubled to left to make it 8-5.

After a groundout plated another run, another walk issued by Brewer brought the potential winning run to the plate with just one out. The Show tried to get their trail runner into scoring position on a steal attempt, but TNXL catcher Douglas Kirkland (2019, Longwood, Fla.) gunned down the would-be base stealer for the second out and Brewer wrapped up the game with his fourth strikeout in relief to cap TNXL’s title run.

Brown was selected as the tournament MV-Player as he finished with a .500 average (10-for-20) over eight games, with three doubles and three triple and finished with eight runs batted in.

For TNXL, Roman had a hot week at the plate as he batted .571 with eight hits in 14 at-bats and nine RBI and Simmons added to his eight total innings of shutout baseball on the mound for the week with a .368 average (7-for-19) at the plate with six RBI.

Drapeau led the tournament in hits with 12 and batted .522 with a home run and seven RBI for the Show.

Weather makes Georgia/Bronx Bombers 14u co-champs

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Mother Nature wouldn’t allow a matchup between the Georgia Bombers and Bronx Bombers in the championship game of the 14U Super25 National Championship as storms swept across the BOOMBAH Sports Complex in Sanford Friday afternoon, thus making each team a co-champion of the event.

Each team began the tournament in the same pool as 24 teams set off to compete for the title to start the week. Both teams got off to 3-0 starts before meeting on Wednesday to virtually decide the pool’s winner, and it was the Bronx Bombers coming away victorious 5-1 thanks to a four-run fifth inning to take control of the game.

Evan Maloney (2022, Saunderstown, R.I.) and Justin Sanchez (2022, Brooklyn, N.Y.) combined to strike out 12 batters, with Sanchez working the final four innings in relief, striking out seven and not walking a batter to pick up the victory.

With the Bronx Bombers going 5-0 in pool play, they entered bracket play as the No. 3 overall seed. On the flip side, the Georgia Bombers dropped another pool play contest, but advanced through as the No. 8 seed with a 3-2 record.

In the quarterfinals, the Bronx Bombers defeated Sticks Baseball Academy Elite 2022 2-0 behind a superb pitching performance from Yohairo Cuevas (2022, Yonkers, N.Y.), who tossed a four-hit shutout with four strikeouts.

For the Georgia Bombers, they had to match up with the No. 1 overall seed Gulf Coast Fury, but the offense came up with two big innings as a four-run third and a five-run sixth lifted the Bombers to a 10-3 victory to advance to the semifinals.

Cole Munhall (2022, Cumming, Ga.) went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles and two RBI for the Bombers, and Riley Sanford (2022, Gainesville, Ga.) collected two hits and an RBI in the win for the Bombers.

In the semifinals, the Bronx Bombers matched up with Morris Chiefs American 14U and ran out to a 4-0 lead through five innings and hung on for a 4-2 win to advance into the championship game.

Adonys Guzman (2021, Bronx, N.Y.) opened the scoring with a run-scoring single in the first inning, and in the fourth inning, Evan Diaz (2021, Yonkers, N.Y.) brought in a run with an RBI single to lead the way offensively for the Bombers.

The Georgia Bombers had to combat a team from their home state in the semifinals as they matched up with Titans Baseball 14’s Blue, and in the early going, the Bombers quickly fell behind 2-0 after the first inning.

In the third, a five-run deluge saw Stanford, Munhall and Cody McGill (2022, Marietta, Ga.) deliver RBI singles to help the Bombers forge ahead 5-2.

After allowing the Titans to draw a run closer in the home half, the Bombers added two more runs in the fourth, with Dee Oliver (2023, Martin, Ga.) bringing home one of the tallies with an RBI single in the frame to put the Bombers ahead 7-3.

Munhall relieved Stanford on the mound in the fifth and surrendered two runs in the sixth to allow the Titans to draw to within a run at 7-6 and had to negotiate a potential threat in the seventh.

With two outs, Munhall allowed a single and walked a batter to bring the potential tying run just a base hit away, but the right-hander finished the game off by getting a harmless flyout to center to send the Bombers on their way to the championship game.

Despite the title not being decided with what was likely going to be a matchup of evenly matched teams, two individuals were honored for their performances throughout the week.

Diaz was selected as the tournament’s MV-Player for the Bronx Bombers, as he batted .353 (6-for-17) with eight RBI in seven games.

Guzman also had a strong week at the plate for the Bombers, batting .357 with five hits in 14 at-bats and drove in five runs.

For the Georgia Bombers, Charlie Jones (2022, Cumming, Ga.) was chosen as the MV-Pitcher as he appeared in three contests and allowed only one hit in five innings while striking out four.

Offensively, the Bombers were paced by McGill’s .538 average (7-for-13), with Stanford and Brian Garmon II (2022, Cumming, Ga.) leading the team with six RBI each.

Best of the Best Event Preview

In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt

There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

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.   Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas  As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

College Players of the Week: May 19

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week:  Carson Tinney, C, Texas  The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week.  To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney.  The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year.  In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told.  With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...

The regular season is behind us, and it is now tournament time and wow, is there a lot to still be decided.  We are a week away from the Field of 64 being announced and hosting opportunities, at-large bids, as well as automatic bids are there for the taking.  The UCLA Bruins (48-6) continue their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the land, finishing the regular season without losing a series all year.  ACC powers, UNC (43-10) and Georgia Tech (45-9) remain at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively and SEC regular season champs, the Georgia Bulldogs (43-12) stick at No. 4.  After that there was a small amount of shuffling within the Top 10 with No. 5 Texas (40-12), No. 6 West Virginia (37-13) and No. 7 FSU (38-16) moving ahead of now No. 8 Auburn (36-18) after they were the only team in this group to drop their weekend series.   No. 14 Florida (37-18) and No. 15...

CPBL Showcase Scout Notes

Troy Sutherland

Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Silky op with big arm speed and projection. Shaky FB command early, 91-93 T94. CH is present plus, weapon vs both LH & RH hitters at 83-84. Good arm side depth to it. SL has some length to the mostly lateral action @ 77. #KState commit.#CPBLShowcaseWknd pic.twitter.com/7TdJ2neOv6 — Perfect Game International (@pg_int1) May 8, 2026 Logan Cummins (‘26 ON) Very intriguing athletic upside here, came out early a bit juiced up leading to inconsistent fastball command but settled in and started dotting. Ran the fastball up to 94 with running life. Changeup is ahead of the rest of the arsenal  in terms of quality, and has a parachuting arm side dive that gets frequent swings over the top. Slider is tight with varying length at its best it does have an extra gear to garner a late count whiff. Should fit nicely at Kansas State if he decides to...

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: Drew Burress – Georgia Tech  I love everything that Craig Cozart writes, and his piece on Burress is as good as it gets (link). Craig does a masterful job of showing us how Burress has (not arguably) the best career college performance of any current player. The body of work is consistent and impressive, and Burress has one of the highest floors in the 2026 MLB Draft with above average or better tools across the board.  I’m not going to do a deep dive on Burress’ numbers because there is no point: they are really good, everywhere. I would rather talk about...
