Another dominant performance by the No. 18 player in‘26 CJ Sampson (TX) w 12 Ks today. Spotted the FB in all quads running it up to 85. Quality stuff from a high end prospect did not skip a beat to take the Championship for @TwelveBaseball. #SouthWS pic.twitter.com/sUIIb4FnKG

The pitching performance of the weekend came from Twelve’s high-ceiling right-hander CJ Sampson (2026, Tomball, Texas), continuing to piece together an impressive track record heading into his much-anticipated prep career. Sampson spun a fun-to-watch perfect game in the championship game, earning him the MV-Pitcher of the event. His fastball took over in his outing displaying excellent command and working both sides of the zone with intent. He sat 82-85 mixing a tight action slider with late bite up to 75 controlling the zone with 73% strikes. Drawing plenty of swing and miss, he punched out 12-of-15 hitters allowing only three ball in play and cruised through a dominant five frames smoothly. High-end performance with talent on another level of his class by the No. 18 player in 2026. Sampson is already an exciting follow with rapid development that is going to bring a lot of attention as he continues to showcase loud and advanced stuff on the mound.

Year in Review: PG Events
The 2024 Perfect Game Event Calendar saw another year of outstanding performances from prospects and rising stars from across the country with development at the forefront throughout the circuit.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2029
Today we wrap up our look back on the leaderboards throughout all the classes, taking a peak at the 2029s who won't enter high school for another year, but that didn't stop them from putting up big numbers.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2027
Today we make our way to the Class of 2027 and it's a class that is already known for its top flight talent, but also the overall depth, that gives it the chance to be a special group come the time they are seniors.

Class of 2028 Tourney All-American Team
It’s to no surprise that these teams are chalked full of talented young prospects as many of the players ranked in the Top 100 of this class fill up both sets of Tournament All-American teams, but there are many individuals on these lists that aren’t yet ranked and performed at a level this year that is recognized.
