Chet Lemon's Juice 14u Wins Perfect Game Florida World Series

SANFORD, Fla. - Chet Lemon’s Juice 14u came back from an early loss in pool play to Ballers Baseball to own the competition and claim the 2021 PG 14u Florida World Series Championship, besting the same Ballers Baseball in the championship, 5-3. A combination of timely pitching and hitting carried Juice through the tournament. 
 
The semifinal was a pitching duel and a nail-biter. On the shoulders of pitcher Couper Gatch, who went 6 2/3 innings striking out five hitters, Chet Lemon's Juice kept Team Orlando’s strong offense from scoring, scraping by with a 1-0 win. Tyler Whitworth stole home in the top of the fifth inning, and that's all the team needed. Gatch was given MV-Pitcher honors for his work on the mound.



Gatch's fastball was up to 80 mph in the contest and he only allowed four hits. Hayden Montanez had a great semifinal at the dish, going 2-for-3 with a double.
 
Chet Lemon’s Juice got the revenge they were looking for in the championship game, as they held Ballers to three runs behind the pitching of Lincoln Gagne, who went 5 2/3 innings. Gagne's fastball touched 80 mph with a curveball at 64 mph, as he allowed one run on four hits, striking out two batters.

The defense was working well behind the Juice pitching staff, as they made no errors behind any of the pitchers. The offense was led by Whitworth, who went a perfect 3-for-3 on the day with two RBI. Julien Radcliffe added a two-RBI single with a line drive up the middle in the seventh inning to give his team some insurance runs. Finally, Angel Agosto went 1-for-1 with a big RBI double, then came around to score in the fourth to give the Juice the first lead.
 
Ballers Baseball had a perfect record going into the championship game. Seth Patterson had a strong start in the title tilt, going five innings allowing two runs on two hits, striking out six batters with his 85 mph fastball. The offense was carried by Malakhi Boone, who had an impressive 2-for-4 game with two solo home runs.

Boone was named the MVP of the tournament for his performance, as he hit .400 overall with five home runs and seven RBI.



2021 Perfect Game 14u Florida World Series Scout Notes

Malakhi Boone (2025, Webster, Fla.) had an impressive weekend, even for the top-rated hitter in the tournament. He notched six hits, and five of those were home runs, adding up to seven RBI. In the box he has a wide base and very relaxed hands. The bat speed and swing path lead to some scary power.
 
Justis Meadows (2025, Tampa, Fla.) slashed .389 on the weekend with seven hits. Out of those, two of them were doubles and two of them were triples. He drove in six runs and scored five more times. The righty stands tall, has good rhythm, and uses his long limbs to get extension and lift on the ball. 
 
Daniel Hernandez (2024, Lakeland, Fla.) has a combination of speed and a great eye that led the lead off man to a great weekend. He scored the most runs in the tournament, scoring eight times. He got on base and made defenses pay, walking seven times and stealing seven bases. He added five hits, slashing .357 on the weekend. 
 
Logan Inman (2025, Orlando, Fla.) showed great raw power, hitting some gaps this weekend with an average of .727. He was tied for the lead in hits with eight, three of them being doubles, driving in six runners. With a big frame the swing has a slight leg lift and is rotational with a tight turn to deliver the bat head. 
 
Hayden Montanez (2025, Winter Park, Fla.) was also tied with eight hits being the most in the tournament. He added one double and one triple, driving in seven runners. Also had an impressive five walks, hitting .500 on the weekend. The righty has a big leg kick and quick hands, showing great barrel-to-ball skills. 
 
Jordan Marlo (2025, Cross City, Fla.) had a .400 average for the tournament, and he just plays the game hard. He had six hits with three doubles, scoring six times himself. On the basepaths he shows his speed, stealing three bases. The lefty has a nice leg kick for timing and really showed the ability to go with some pitches the other way, or turn on them with some power. All the contact is loud.
 
Braeden Seculer (2025, Plantation, Fla.) has the ability to hit for average and for power and showed that this tournament, hitting .571 with two doubles and a triple. He drove in six runs and scored five times. The big righty has a very easy swing, he starts with a small load and has a nice rotational swing with good extension through the ball. 
 
Couper Gatch (2025, Eustis, Fla.) had a great weekend with the most RBI in the tournament, with nine. He notched five hits with one triple and a home run. Big-time hitting in important situations. The righty has room to fill out and his swing starts with a big leg kick and low hands. He gets his money's worth with every swing. On the mound he added eight innings, striking out eight with a fastball up to 80 mph. 
 
Nicolas Partridge (2025, Lakeland, Fla.) had a great weekend on the mound and at the plate. He pitched a complete-game seven innings giving up zero runs, striking out seven batters. At the plate the lefty has a sweet, smooth swing. He got on base a lot, walking six times, and also scored six times himself. 
 
Seth Patterson (2024, Lakeland, Fla.) had the top velocity in the tournament with a fastball that touched 85 mph. He started the championship game, going five strong innings and striking out six batters. He has a quick arm with a short arm swing, working the glove side of the plate with a breaking ball that was consistently at 64 mph.

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

2025 Year in Review: College

Craig Cozart

The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory. PG Second-Team All-American, Jared Jones was the heart of the lineup with his 20...

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back. Two Top-10 Picks in the MLB Draft Headline National Players of the Year It was another loaded crop that took home the National Players of the Year as both Ethan Holliday, the National Player of the Year, and Seth Hernandez, National Pitcher of the Year, heard their names called within the first-10 picks in the MLB Draft.

Isaiah Burrows
Article Image
With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses. We have already dropped our 2028 Top 75 collegiate prospects board, but this one is our Top 100 college prospects who will be eligible for the 2027 class. These are the Top 100 players in our eyes for this group, and many of them have already shown up on campus and been impactful in many ways. Whether its our top-ranked player in Oregon State’s Dax Whitney or ninth-ranked William Schmidt...

Top 2028 Collegiate Draft Prospects

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10. Rk. Name Level Pos. B-T School Hometown State 1 Jack Bauer C LHP L-L Mississippi State Frankfort IL 2 Angel Cervantes C RHP R-R UCLA Lynwood CA 3 Cameron Appenzeller C LHP L-L Tennessee Springfield IL 4 Brayden Jaksa C C R-R Oregon Fremont  CA 5 JD Stein C SS R-R Wake Forest Carmel IN 6 Mason Ligenza C OF L-L Pittsburgh Brockton PA 7 Ty Peeples C OF L-R Georgia Lavonia GA 8 Lucas Franco C SS L-R TCU Katy TX 9...

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...
