Jason Phillips' Projected Champion: 3n2 Sticks Baseball- Brewster 
3n2 Sticks Baseball- Brewster have the roster mix of talented players and pitching depth to take the WWBA National Champion Title back to Texarkana, Ark. Good pitching beats good hitting and 3n2 Sticks is loaded with a number of quality arms from both sides of the bump. With right-handers Cooper Dossett (Arkansas) and Dillon Orr (Tennessee) to go along with left-handers Blaise Grove (South Carolina) and Parker Coil (Arkansas), they can match up against any team in the tournament with four games in pool play in three days. Mix in 2023 two-way prospects MJ Seo, with a fastball up to 94 mph, and Nazzan Zanetello (Miami) as well as 2025 grad Minjae Seo, and the pitching staff is loaded with highly-ranked prospects and Division-I commits. Outfielder Justin Best (Florida State) will be the catalyst for the offense as runs will be at a premium during the tournament with quality arms across every team. Backstops Charlie Carter (Oklahoma State) and Tripp Landers (TCU) will handle the staff as well as provide thump at the plate, with Ty Waid (Arkansas), Zanetello and Jayce Blalock (Georgia Tech) also contributing. 3n2 Sticks Baseball- Brewster is coming off a highly-successful summer schedule and primed to continue their winning ways as 2021 WWBA National Champions. 



Craig Cozart's Projected Champion: FTB/Philadelphia Phillies Scout Team 
When you talk about an organization that has seen over 40 of its alumni reach the Big Leagues, it is hard to overstate the consistency with which FTB produces a powerhouse team year-after-year. As hard as it may be to comprehend, this year's roster may be the best to date. Elijah Green, the No. 1 ranked player in the 2022 class, has the best power and speed combination the game has seen in quite some time. He is an elite defender and will be flanked by Andruw Jones and Deamez Filipe’ Ross, making this the best outfield in the nation. Behind the plate, Luke Heyman is a toolsy, athletic catcher who will be handling a deep, power-armed pitching staff. Led by the switch-pitching Jurrangelo Cijntje, Luis Rujano, William Ross and Bradley Hodges, the pitching staff is supremely talented, has length and can match up well against any roster around. Austin Hawke, Blake Cyr, and Tucker Toman were guys that Perez described as glue guys, that on a daily basis do the little things to help this talented group come together as a cohesive unit. Not only that, but they also comprise one of the best glove/hit infields on the circuit. This group checks their egos at the door, plays with high energy and great chemistry. Those are the attributes that should help them bring home the 2021 WWBA World Championship.       

Vinnie Cervino's Projected Champion: CBA Marucci/Red Sox Scout Team
CBA Marucci made it to the second round of the 17u WWBA National Championship before losing by one run, but judging from the rosters you’d be hard pressed to find a better collection of pure talent. They’ll be led by All-Americans Justin Crawford and Xavier Cardenas III as well as a litany of other top-100 prospects including Cutter Coffey, Brady Reynolds, and Toby Twist. There’s a number of impact arms who should be able to provide plenty of innings, as from a roster standpoint CBA is equipped for the long haul and has as good a shot as anyone to come home with the Jupiter crown.

Colt Olinger’s Projected Champion: East Coast Sox – Franchise
Coming off an earlier-than-expected departure in the 2020 WWBA after earning the No. 1 seed, this year’s Sox group looks poised to avenge last year’s quiet exit. With 11 SEC commits on the roster and a balance of pitching and offense, this team not only has the high-level talent, but the depth required to win the eight games to bring home a championship. With guys like Mason Morris, Cole Ketchum, Patrick Galle, and Cale Comeaux back, this is one of the more experienced rosters in the event and when you look at the additions of guys like the talented two-way standout Owen Egan and his West Coast partner Casey Borba, the depth just continues to pile up. I like the overall construction of this roster to complement one another as this group will be able to win games in multiple ways.

Drew Wesolowski's Projected Champion: South Charlotte Panthers
The South Charlotte Panthers look poised to make a title run as they sport almost 25 D-I commits on their roster, many of which have played together over most of their respective prep careers. The pitching staff will be deep, as we all know you need arms to win in Jupiter, that will be headlined by Eli Jerzembeck, Heath Andrews, and the young phenom Samuel Cozart. They will also be carried offensively by Louisville commit Logan Wagner, Virginia Tech commit Garrett Michel, and a hot streaking 2023 in Isaac Armstrong. Scott Clemons and Don Hutchins will have the boys ready to play and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them make a run at a WWBA World Championship.

Brian Sakowski's Projected Champion: Reds Scout Team
I’ve already written about this Reds Scout Team having a disappointing showing offensively in Iowa at Kernels, but the setting is right for them to round into form in Jupiter and take this club really far. The pitching depth stands out, such an absolutely vital piece to the competitive puzzle when it comes to the WWBA World Championship, and if their offense can produce enough, they should be tough to beat. They have the ability to roll 13-14 deep on the mound of talented pitchers, and just need their offense to have a consistent pulse for this to potentially be a special week for the Midwestern boys.

Jheremy Brown's Projected Champion: MLB Breakthrough
The MLB Breakthrough club is favored to come out of their pool, and though it'll be a challenging one with a loaded NEB roster vying for bracket play, they have an exceptional amount of talent up and down the lineup. Led by six Perfect Game All-Americans in the power threats of Cam Collier and Kaden Martin, the ultra-athletic RJ Austin, Adonys Guzman, whose bazooka of an arm immediately thwarts the oppositions running game, hard throwing right-hander Jaden Noot and perhaps the best amateur hit tool in the country in Termarr Johnson, and they have several big pieces filling key roles. You need more than five prospects, however, to make a run and Breakthrough has just that with a collection of high-end prospects, including some underclassmen, who'll be more than up to the challenge of playing under the bright lights in Jupiter and making a deep run at the whole thing. 

Isaiah Burrows' Projected Champion: Georgia Bombers
The Georgia Bombers not only have the talent to win Jupiter, but their effort and drive on every play stands out during the biggest tournaments of the year. The Bombers are loud and play off one another. They string together timely hits at the perfect time and make the gritty plays needed to win. On paper, the arms are deep and plentiful to go along with several impactful bats. The talent speaks for itself. Most importantly, each member plays until the final pitch. They are tremendously coached and certainly have what it takes to make a deep run.  

John McAdams’ Projected Champion: Dirtbags
The Sedalia, N.C.-based Dirtbags come to Jupiter with an absolutely loaded roster primed for a deep playoff run. University of Miami commit TayShaun Walton is the highest-ranked member of the team at No. 5 in our latest Class of 2023 Rankings, as he assuredly will provide thump to the lineup. The trio of Ashton Larson, Connor Fuhrman and Max Kaufer provide length and will be right in the middle of any run-producing opportunity. Coastal Carolina commit Caden Bodine adds experience behind the dish, where he will team up with Kaufer to command the pitching corps. Texas A&M commit Colin Linder, Vanderbilt commit Nathan Teague, and Tennessee commit Bradley Gagen will lead the pitching staff, as each bring their own individual look and should be counted upon into the playoff run. An experienced coaching staff led by Andy Partin will certainly bode well for the talent-packed roster, having won the event prior. Look for the combination of big bats, sure-handed defenders and power arms to lead The Dirtbags, as they look to hoist the trophy at the best amateur baseball event in the world.

Jered Goodwin's Projected Champion: Canes National
Canes Scout Team is the pick here. The lineup is an absolute nightmare for opposing pitchers with Perfect Game All-Americans Cole Young, Ryan Clifford, Malcolm Moore, Roman Anthony and Eli Serrano who are all primed for one last run on the biggest prep stage on the planet, known as “Jupiter”. They bring maturity and experience to the club after most were at the WWBA World Championships last year as underclassmen and made it to the championship game. The other thing they all bring are heavy sticks with the ability to change the game with a single pass of the clubhead. The pitching is a bit revamped, though the headliner is Luke Schmolke, who will buckle some knees with his powerful breaking ball. Underclass arms have really thrived in recent years and the Canes have some of the most talented young arms in the country with Tucker Holland, Dylan Questad, Christian Rodriguez, and Jonah Conradt. All look primed to take the big next step on the circuit and bring another World Championship home for the storied Canes organization.

Tyler Russo's Projected Champion: San Diego Show
The Show come to Jupiter this year with a different looking roster than a year ago, but many of those that played key roles as underclassmen return and look to lead the charge. They’re led by Perfect Game All-American Mikey Romero, one of the better pure hitters in the entire event, while fellow top-100 prospects Mason Neville, Karson Bowen and Dean West give them fire power in the heart of what should be a deep lineup. They’re solid on the mound with Duke Ekstrom, Matthew Porchas, and Louis Rodriguez, giving them all they should need to get into the playoffs, where the rest of their talented arms and two-way players should keep them in games enough for the offense to get the job done and give the West Coast a title in back-to-back years.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple.

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long. Cloud County and Midland College continue to put together strong weeks and climb the rankings each week it seems. Jumping into the rankings this week on the strength of a 15-game winning streak is Seminole State (OK). And Linn Benton makes the top 25 for a 2nd consecutive week and looks like the top team in the NWAC this spring.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

College Players of the Week: April 14

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 64

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
What Do Barry Zito, Justin Verlander, Trevor Bauer, and Dallas Keuchel All Have in Common? By Ron Wolforth | Texas Baseball Ranch® | PG Arm Care Take a second and think about the question posed in the title before you read on. Four Cy Young Award winners. Four of the most decorated pitchers of their generation. What's the common thread? The first answer is obvious… they all won the most prestigious individual award in pitching. Most of you probably got there immediately. The second answer is less obvious… they all trained at the Texas Baseball Ranch® at some point in their development. Interesting, maybe, but not the point of this article. The third answer is the one I really want you to sit with, because it has direct relevance to your career right now: they all move completely differently. And they all attack hitters completely differently. Don't rush past that....
