13u

Titans stay perfect, capture 13u crown



Fort Myers, Fla. – Titans 13u capped off a 6-0 tournament weekend with a 9-7 victory over I AM UNITED 13u to secure the championship of the 13u age group in the Labor Day East tournament. The offense came alive late as they put up a six spot in the bottom of the fourth inning to ensure the comeback victory. The Titans went out to an early 3-0 lead which looked to be enough during the early part of the game before I AM UNITED stormed back with a seven run top of the third inning. You wouldn’t think that pitching would be a big part of a high scoring game but Brayden Harris came into the game late to right the ship as he allowed just one earned run over 2.1 innings to close out the affair. The top of the lineup got it done for the Titans as their top three hitters accounted for five of their nine runs scored and even though the hit column wasn’t as big as the runs column, the pressure put on by the offense can’t be understated as they collected nine base-on-balls during the game. Brayden Harris of the Titans came home with MVP honors as in addition to his heroic efforts on the mound he finished the weekend hitting .688 with eight runs scored, eight RBI, and three doubles. Ethan Wheeler, also of the Titans, came home with MV-Pitcher honors as he totaled 4.1 innings on the mound allowing only four hits and striking out nine.

14u

Legends get pitching performance to lead into championship

Fort Myers, Fla. – The Florida Legends downed the TBT Ballers by a final score of 4-2 to win the Labor Day East tournament for the 14u age group in what was a tightly contested ballgame throughout the affair. The Legends got a huge pitching performance from righthander Christian Miranda as he tossed a complete game and topped out at 79 mph to ensure the victory. Miranda put forth an admirable effort on the mound but he also helped himself out as after a passed ball scored one run he knocked in an RBI single in the top of the first to give himself a 2-0 lead heading into the rest of the game. Miranda came through once more in the fourth to pad the lead as a run-scoring double pushed the lead to 3-0 and TBT wouldn’t be able to score enough to come back. Things got a little dicey in the bottom of the fifth when the Ballers pushed across two runs to cut the lead to one but Miranda never wavered and a late run in the top of the seventh made for a relatively uneventful bottom of the seventh en route to victory for the Legends. Kelvin Perera of the Legends was awarded MVP honors as the catcher hit .600 for the weekend, knocking in six runs and scoring four himself. Rivers Kurland of the TBT Ballers was named MV-Pitcher thanks to a stellar outing earlier in the tournament where he went four runs with no earned runs, struck out nine hitters, and filled up the zone with a 65% strike rate.

Frosh

Jr’s Prospects walk-off Mets Scout Team to hoist trophy

Fort Myers, Fla. – Jr’s Prospects looked to have blown the lead in the top of the seventh but that only provided an opportunity as in the bottom half they were able to push across the winning run to win the Freshman division of the Labor Day East by a final score of 2-1. The Prospects had the lead in the middle innings when they pushed across a run in the bottom of the fourth and the extra run in the seventh was just enough to be able to go home champions after a hard-fought battle. Both starting pitchers were locked in early but Kyle Klaric of the Prospects was exceptional, turning in five shutout innings with nine strikeouts before he had to depart due to pitch count. Maddix Simpson had a big day offensively, leading the charge with three out of the four hits for the Prospects and always seeming to come up with a big knock to sway the momentum. Simpson, coincidentally, had the biggest hit of the afternoon as he walked it off with a ground ball single to the left side to bring in the winning run and start the celebration. Dylan Fatovich of the Mets Scout Team was named MVP as he was a problem at the top of the lineup, getting on base at a clip of .579 to go along with eight runs scored and six stolen bases. Jason Belio of the Prospects was named the MV-Pitcher of the event as he tossed a complete game shutout in the semifinals with just one hit allowed over five innings to go along with five strikeouts.

Sophomore

Ostingers 2023 rides great pitching to perfect weekend

Fort Myers, Fla. – It was a rain-filled weekend that pushed the entirety of the playoffs to Monday morning, but the Ostingers Baseball Academy 2023 team wasn’t phased as they pushed across three wins on Labor Day to take home the title with a perfect 6-0 record.

While the offensive performance was strong in a number of their games, it was the pitching throughout the weekend that got the job done, especially in their second pool play game and first playoff game where the score ended at just 1-0 in their favor. Allowing just four hits in their three playoff games, the combined effort of Trey Wilson, Preston Rogers, Bryan Rivera, Adrian Rolon and Jacob Magadan was as impressive as it gets for a playoff pitching performance.

Rivera, who threw the entire semifinal game for the Ostingers, took home MV-Pitcher honors with a combined eight innings on the week with no earned runs allowed and just two hits to six strikeouts. Ariel Antigua, playing for the runner-up Resmondo, took home MVP honors with a weekend long .714 average (10-for-14), including four extra-base hits and ten runs driven in.

Underclass

Cannons Baseball Academy nearly shuts out weekend to claim Labor Day Underclass title

Fort Myers, Fla. – A roster loaded with high-end arms didn’t disappoint as they claimed the underclass title in near shutout fashion.

Across six games, the Cannons pitching staff turned out a shutout in each game until the championship, where they allowed just a single run that would be their only allowed of the tournament. Pitchers David Rossow, Erik Blair, Jake Clemente, Brandon Barriera, Antonio Correa, Brandon Gonsalves and Alex Walsh all turned in stellar performances throughout the weekend, including some with multiple appearances in both pool play and the playoffs.

MVP Santiago Ordonez handled the catching duties for most of the weekend and although hitting just .286 on the weekend, was impactful in driving in six runs, scoring five times and leading from behind the dish. Jack Owens, who threw a no-hitter with ten strikeouts in the Ostingers’ quarterfinal game that was 0-0 into extra innings, took home MV-Pitcher honors.

Upperclass

Florida Rebels hit their way to the Labor Day Upperclass title

Fort Myers, Fla. – It was no surprise coming into the event that the Rebels roster could swing the bat and it held true all the way through the championship game where they would win the title handedly.

After a pair of close games in their quarterfinal and semifinal matchups where clutch hitting from Ryan Waldschmidt, Mason Janz, Camden Sprague and Zeth Rodriguez were the deciding factors, the entire lineup came through for the championship win while Corey Braun and Aaron Deegan got the job done on the mound allowing just a single hit.

MVP Ryan Waldschmidt finished the tournament with a .500 average with four of his seven hits coming in the form of extra-base hits while also driving five runs and scoring six times himself. The MV-Pitcher of the event, Dawson Ball from runner-up ELEV8 Select, threw a no-hitter in their quarterfinal matchup, scattering three walks and picking up five strikeouts.

‘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...

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.

College Players of the Week: March 17

March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

Collegiate Player Report Database As each week of the college baseball season passes, we continue to be entertained at an incredible level with high level drama at every turn.  Conference play is under way and the national landscape is starting to make a bit more sense.  The development and strength of individual players is on full-display and there continue to be upsets on occasion that sends the message no team can relax for one moment.  For the most part, the Top 10 remains unchanged with some reshuffling as No. 1 UCLA (17-2) holds on to the top spot with yet another perfect (4-0) week after sweeping Michigan.  The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) did drop their first game of the season in Game 1 of SEC play but won the series against Ole Miss and finished the week with a (3-1) record.  The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (17-3) passed their first real road test of the...

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...

March 10 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Lorenzo Carrier, OF, Pitt  The Pitt Panthers (12-2) are off to one of the best starts in recent program history and their offense has performed as one of the best in the country.  For the season, they are averaging almost 12-runs per game and on their recent trip to the West Coast, Lorenzo Carrier went on the kind of hot streak that is hard to comprehend.  The 6-5/215 senior from Bear, DE was a one-man wrecking crew in their 4-wins last week, starting with the fact that he reached base safely in 17 of his 19 trips to the plate.  He collected 13 hits in 14 official at-bats, scoring 10 runs, with 4 walks, 2 triples, 4 home runs and he drove in an insane 19-runs.  Carrier has refined his approach, simplified his bat path and is creating massive power that has him putting up career numbers.  For the season, he is...

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...
