Postseason MVP: Vincent Sanchez, SS, Houston Aces Collegiate (Galveston College)



In the first year of this event under the Perfect Game umbrella, it was an eventful one where loads of collegiate, or collegiate-bound, prospects from all over the state of Texas filled 13 teams in a roughly six-week long league + playoff format. Banditos Baseball – Taylor (16-1-2) dominant through the regular season as they didn’t drop a game heading into postseason play while outscoring opponents 121-28. The Houston Aces Collegiate (15-4-1) stayed right on their heels the entire regular season, only dropping a few games and reaching the postseason where they would eventually get hot for a pair of games and run away with the title in a fairly dominant 8-2 championship game win over Trosky Texas Collegiate (11-8-1).

Jacob Schoenvogel (Baylor) was an impact with the bat all season long as he racked up 32 hits in the league for the Banditos, but it was his legs that really sent it over the top for him to be tabbed at the league’s Player of the Year as he totaled 40 stolen bases across just 19 games, a really impressive feat. Adam Muirhead (Baylor) was impressive on the other end of the ball, throwing 34 innings and punching out 48 against just 12 hits and a 2.50 ERA. He’s got a mid-90s fastball paired with a wipeout slider, giving him the stuff to miss bats like he did well in every start. Vincent Sanchez (Galveston College) was huge on the final day of the season as he racked up five hits across the pair of playoff games and both drove in a few runs and scored a few times himself. He hit .345 across the league’s entirety and was a staple for the Houston Aces all year long.

1. Adam Muirhead, RHP, Banditos Baseball - Taylor (Baylor/2023 Draft Eligible)

Muirhead had a good summer, and it was as much the results as it was the stuff that makes him the top prospect from this year’s league. He’s a long 6-foot-2 right-hander with lots of room on the frame and its already big arm talent, reaching as high as 95 this summer and living in the low-90s for most looks. It’s a good fastball as he gets extended well on the front side and is able to work down in the zone more often than not and while he can miss a good number of bats in a power approach, the low-80s slider is real as he’ll flash right around above average with it with some downward tilt and hard sweep to the glove side. He led the league in strikeouts with 48 and the ratios in terms of limited hits and enough strikes make him an intriguing foundation.

2. William Clements, RHP, Scorpions Collegiate Team (Oklahoma/2023 Draft Eligible)

Clements is easily one of the most projectable players from the league that fits the profile of a power-arm starter or higher-end relief role. At 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Clements has great size that allows him to run the fastball into mid-90s and he’s a physical presence on the mound. The ball explodes out of his hand and gets on hitters quick, playing above the velocity a bit. It’s a good fastball in terms of the carrying life and movement and he pairs it with a slider that certainly has the traits of a big pitch. He sells it well in the low-80s and has comfort in terms of the amount he commands it. He’ll flash a usable changeup to round out a full mix and across a small number of innings on the year, he averaged comfortably over two strikeouts an inning and limited walks really significantly, especially for the mix of size and stuff.

3. Tyler McClosky, RHP, Houston Aces Collegiate (UTRGV/2023 Draft Eligible)

McClosky was really impressive in the league this summer as he worked 16 innings across a handful of looks and it was 30 strikeouts against just four hits and six walks that begin to tell the tale of his stuff. He’s a big and athletic right-hander who was 90-93 for the most part this summer from a pretty compact arm stroke and a very clean release, to go with a real clean delivery. He pounds the zone with big life from that shorter release and hides it well. He’s got two very real secondaries in the low-80s slider and mid-80s changeup with both projecting to miss bats in bunches. The slider he rips hard with real intent and late downer tilting bite while the changeup might be his best pitch in how well it plays off the fastball with real diving action and the tunnel that forced a lot of whiffs throughout the league.

4. Blake Hansen, OF/LHP, Banditos Baseball - Taylor (Texas A&M/2025 Draft Eligible)

Hansen is a very physical, left-handed two-way that showed he can play both sides of the ball really well. At the plate, Hansen hit .343 with three bombs and showed a healthy amount of pop in the bat. His power plays predominately to the pull-side, but he proved that he was able to hit it the other way with authority with a home run and double that direction too in his limited at-bats. It’s a really smooth swing that stays compact to the ball as a whole and brings the barrel through the zone fast with explosive hips and real torque to create big impact. On the mound, the fastball works in the upper-80s, up to 91 with a somewhat cross-body action, paired with a curveball and changeup that he mixed in well to change speeds on hitters. It’s a mostly power approach that lives off of his fastball and likes to work the edges and force weak contact. Although Hansen both hit and pitched well this summer, he projects as a power hitting corner outfielder or first baseman with his physicality and more polished feel as a position player.

5. Mason Marriott, RHP, Banditos Baseball – Taylor (Baylor/2023 Draft Eligible)

Marriott was a big-time recruit, and draft follow, coming out of high school and the stuff is still very much there as he played a big role for Baylor out of the gates as a Freshman. He’s a fairly physical right-hander with a big arm and feel for a pair of pitches that miss bats. He was 90-93 for the most part this summer getting downhill with a bit of ease in his looks and he very much limited hits and walks against higher strikeout numbers. A firm slider is the go-to in the 78-81 range and his ability to get downward tilt with and tunnel it off the fastball also getting a good bit downhill is both what lets him miss bats and stay away from much hard contact in the air.

6. Jacob Schoenvogel, OF, Banditos Baseball – Taylor (Baylor/2023 Draft Eligible)

Schoenvogel was the best offensive performer regarding stats this summer by far. He hit over .300 in 100-plus at-bats while collecting 32 hits, 24 walks, scoring 50 times, and stealing a very impressive 40 bases. Almost every time he got on base when no one was in front of him, he was able to steal second and third within a couple pitches. His speed is impressive, but his baseball IQ is what stood out as well and is what helped him perform like he did at the plate and on the bases. There were some chases out of the zone, but he did a good job the majority of the time laying off tough pitches and attacking stuff he knows he can hit. He has a loose and fluid left-handed stroke and controls the barrel really well, allowing him to make hard contact to all fields with some real hitterish tendencies. The power doesn’t jump out, but he does have a little pop that earned him some extra-base hits. There’s a handful of things to like here with athleticism at the forefront, making him the second-ranked position player on this list.

7. Jose Vargas, OF, Trosky Texas College Columbia (Arizona State/2024 Draft Eligible)

Vargas was no stranger on the national circuit through his prep career and it’s a really tooled up profile that could bring some serious draft intrigue coming out of the collegiate ranks if he can perform. He’s a long and projectable left-handed hitting outfielder who can really run, turning in close to plus straight-line run times which plays in the gaps. It’s a fast bat with real strength in the hands and the overall quality of bat speed to produce true power to all parts of the yard. He has a huge arm in the outfield, peppering the low-90s on throws back at the 2021 PG National, and with projection across just about every tool, he’s got a chance to really pop at Arizona State and come out in 2024 with some real draft status if he does.

8. Camden Sargent, RHP, Houston Aces Collegiate (Arkansas-Little Rock/2023 Draft Eligible)

Sargent was a really steady arm over the course of the league, showing some of the best pure stuff in each look. It was high strikeout numbers to limited walks as he worked in the low-90s regularly, peaking at 94, and he gets downhill hard with real intent to his release. He’s got a big hammer with the breaking ball showing lots of traits to a big-time bat-missing pitch while the changeup can miss just as many, if not more, bats when he throws it with the intent he showed many times. Overall, there’s real effort to the stuff and he’s not the most projectable from a size standpoint but with the present stuff, he stands above most in the league and has a chance to be a really important piece for Arkansas Little Rock in his first year there this coming spring.

9. Jordan Medellin, SS, Banditos Baseball – Taylor (Baylor/2024 Draft Eligible)

Medellin’s profile fits the mold of a projectable middle-infielder that’s very talented at a young age. Medellin’s ability to purely hit from both sides of the plate was impressive enough as it is. He showed that he can make loud contact and drive the ball consistently on both sides of the plate, while also hitting for some gap-to-gap power. He does a really good job of keeping his hands inside in the ball and firing them quick to the ball, generating lots of bat speed through the zone. Medellin impressed on defense as well showing a fluid glove and footwork that worked through the ball well. He’s a quick-twitch player that’s very athletic and has plenty of range on the dirt, along with a strong arm across the infield. Medellin projects very well as a middle-infielder, likely shortstop given the arm strength, and if he can impress as a true switch-hitter at the collegiate level, he’s got a chance to fit the mold of a draftable collegiate bat.

10. Zachary Royse, RHP, Trosky Texas College Columbia (UTSA/2025 Draft Eligible)

Royse was a bit of a pop-up arm in the spring as he came out 93-94 in a big matchup with Katy Tompkins and showed the kind of stuff to be a front-line starter at UTSA if things keep going in the right direction and eventually have the chance to come out in a good spot on 2025 boards. He’s a physical right-hander with an active delivery and a strong arm, regularly pitching in the low-90s in different looks with good traits. The slider is the money pitch, throwing it with tons of conviction around 80 with 2600+ RPMs, plus raw spin that’s easy to mold. There’s a good changeup in the mix that he throws in the mid-80s, a very usable and likely effective third pitch. He missed a healthy number of bats in the league with 19 strikeouts in 11 innings and he throws strikes with this quality of stuff, an important box to check headed into the collegiate level if he’s going to see significant innings early on.

Field of 64 Projections
Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 season was one of the most exciting and unpredictable editions of college baseball in recent memory, and as quickly as it flew by, we are ready to start the “Road to Omaha”.  After hours of deliberation, we are ready to release our projected region field and “Field of 64” as we see it.  The UCLA Bruins (51-6) start us off as the anticipated No. 1 National Seed as they put the finishing touches on a historic season, including a 27-game win streak, a Big 10 Regular Season title and Big 10 Tournament championship.  The Big 10 looks like they will have (4) teams in the field, with (3) host sights, representing the West Coast well.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (48-9) should secure the No. 2 Nation Seed and lead the charge for (8) teams from the ACC in the field with (3) of them securing host opportunities.  Meanwhile, the Georgia...

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

Canes West National (2027) Floyd is a high-upside prospect with physical tools and burgeoning power. His combination of size, bat speed, and raw strength makes him one of the top power-hitting third basemen in the country. Currently ranked the #1 third baseman in Arizona and #4 nationally in his class.

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
Article Image
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

John Coppolella
Article Image
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...

Best of the Best Event Preview

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
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...

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...
