Levi Clark Paces 6-4-3 to Title


In a friendly matchup between the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 17u and 18u teams, Danny Praglo’s 17u Cougars came out on top with a 7-3 win to clinch the 18u Championship title. 



“Everything we talk about early on is about trying to challenge ourselves because it's all about getting ready for what's coming, " Cougars' 17u head coach Praglo said. “It's more about preparing, trying to see as many good pitchers as possible for our hitters, and then of course for our pitchers to face as many good hitters.” 

Tennessee commit Levi Clark, catcher from the class of 2024 and Noah Harkins, RHP from the class of 2023 and future Young Harris College baseball player, received the MVP and MV-Pitcher of the tournament, respectively.  

“Levi, who received the MVP, I think set the tone offensively early on,” Praglo said.  

Leading off the bottom of the seventh Clark went long, sending an 83 MPH fastball over the outfield fence solidifying the 17u Cougars win. 


Another notable offensive player for the 17u Cougars was Conlon Walker, going 2-3 on the afternoon, with one RBI, scoring 2 runs, and hitting .545 through the 5 games this tournament. 


All Astros Title Game, Co-Champs Crowned

The 17u championship was co-champions crowned as the title game pitted the East Cobb Astros 16u against the East Cobb Astros 17u, securing yet another title for one of the more decorated travel ball programs. 

After winning both of their first two games on the weekend by a combined five runs, the 17u Astros' offense woke up and broke out in a big way with a 12-0 victory to wrap up pool play prior to their 11-7 victory in the semi-finals over the 5 Star National 17u Gold club. The middle of the order proved to be potent once again as the 3 and 4 hole hitters, Connor Shouse (who was also up to 94 mph on the mound) and Ira Jeffries Harris, combined for 7 of the team's 11 runs while Shouse, Paul Green and Amari Jefferson all recorded multi-hit games. After falling behind as many as five runs, the Astros were able to capitalize as they score 9 unanswered runs between the 5th and 6th innings while picking up two scoreless frame from Jack Meyers out of the bullpen. 

The East Cobb Astros 16u club simply never stopped hitting from the onset of the tournament, outscoring their opponents 34-8 over 3 pool play games before winning their first playoff game 4-0 over the TG Dbacks. Similarly to the 17u club, they faces off against a member of the 5 Star organization in their semi-final game against 5 Star National 17u Black where they needed to play 9 innings to determine a winner, finally plating 5 runs in the top of the ninth after tying things up in the 7th with a two-spot. Josh Gibbs helped pace the offense with a pair of doubles and ultimately took home MVP honors while both Maddox Monsour and Mercer Hudson drove in a combined 6 runs. The MV-Pitcher of the event, Nolan Bernard, got the start and went 4 innings of one-run baseball in which he struck out 5 before turning things over to Hunter Atkins who finished the job with 5 innings of his own, racking up 6 strikeouts while also surrounding just a lone run. 

6-4-3 Offense Explodes in Run Rule Championship Game

In a five inning game, the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 16u shut out the Devine Baseball 16u team 8-0.  Peyton Robidux started on the mound for the Cougars pitching four innings. The righty struck out five and allowed no hits. Alex Lupinski entered the  game out of the bullpen and helped close out the game in relief, striking out one and walking another in one inning pitched.  

As far as Cougars batting goes, the team had seven hits on the afternoon coming from Carson Zagryn, who went 2-for-3, Grayson McCollum, Isander Poventud, Davis Beilstein, Joe Montembeau, and Carson Vick.  

DP Cougars Stay Hot, Claim 3rd Title on Weekend
In the 15u championship, the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 15u faced off against the Atl Lightning 15u squad. The Cougars clinched the win with an 11-2 victory in just 6.5 innings. With 11 runs and 10 hits, there is no doubt the Cougar’s offense was on fire. Caden Lenzi went 2-for-3, doubling twice, once to left field and once to center, scoring three of his teammates. Alex Thompson and Carson Adomnik also went 2-for-3 for the Cougars combining for 5 RBIs, almost half of the runs scored by the Cougars. Jack Richerson started on the mound for the Cougars, earning the win, striking out five and allowing no walks.  

Artillery Wins Thriller in 14u
Similar to the 13u matchup, the 14u Championship was a close one all game. In a 2-1 win, the Artillery Baseball 2027 Scout defeated the East Side Aces. Ethan Gilchrist started on the mound for Artillery Baseball, pitching for 5.1 innings, striking out three. Blake Lundy of Artillery Baseball went 2-for-3 at the plate, and in his second at-bat he hit a line drive single to left field, driving in Will Swisher for one of the team’s two runs. Joshua Alequin scored the Aces’ only run of the afternoon off of an RBI sacrifice single from Cooper Patterson in the top of the second. 

Smartense Stands Tall in 13u
Team Elite 13u National and Smartense 13u The Show battled it out Sunday afternoon in the 13u Championship game. In a nail-biter, Smartense was able to walk away with a 9-8 win to clinch the title.  

Both teams attacked at the plate all afternoon, combining for 17 hits. Liam Collier of Smartense went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Smartense started things off by scoring four runs in the first two innings. Collier, Rylan Jenkins, and Winston Morris all had RBIs in the bottom of the third, scoring three runs. Team Elite answered back, with three runs scored in the top of the fourth. Team Elite’s Colin Anderson also went 2-for-3 with one double on the afternoon. In the top of the seventh, Team Elite tried to climb back with a line drive double from Colin Anderson allowing Camden Shirley to score, closing Smartense’s lead by one, but unfortunately fell short.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘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...

High School Notebook: March 27

Hudson December (2027, Woodland Hills, Calif.) showed flashes of his upside despite a somewhat uneven three-inning outing. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-hander struck out three while working through a couple of tough jams, though his command was inconsistent at times. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph on a pair of occasions and generally sat in the 83–85 range. He mixed in an upper-70s slider with varying shape and execution where it was most effective when thrown with proper intent, showing shorter, tighter depth. He also flashed a changeup against a few left-handed hitters. Mechanically, there’s a blend of positives and areas for development. He incorporates his lower half fairly well and moves down the mound with some pace and intent. The arm is quick, though it can be late getting up at times, and his taller finish limits full torso extension through release. With...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 25

Nick Herfordt

Every preseason, analysts and voters pour enormous effort into ranking the small college baseball landscape — poring over returning rosters, transfer additions, coaching changes, and historical trends to assemble the most accurate picture they can of who will be contending when the postseason arrives. And most years, they get it largely right. But the nature of college baseball, with its massive rosters, unpredictable development arcs, and ever-churning transfer portal, guarantees that a handful of genuinely elite programs will slip through the cracks every spring. A team loses too many seniors. A key transfer hasn’t yet suited up. A new coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to prove itself. The voters see the question marks and leave the blank space, and then the season begins and the blank space starts filling itself in — loudly. As the 2026 season heads into its...

College Players of the Week: March 24

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game. In the middle of it all, Quinton Coats, is on pace for a historic season both within the program and on a national level. The 6-3/225 infielder from Olathe, KS has been launching home runs at a record pace and opponents seem to be powerless to stop his onslaught. With incredible strength in his hands, Coats creates easy loft and in 5 road games last week he collected 9 hits in 20 at-bats, with 4 home runs, 9 runs scored, and he drove in a total of 9 runs as well. As for his pursuit of history, the modern day BBCOR bat standard single season home run record is 34, set back in...

The Georgia native possesses tremendous upside on the mound, working from a long and lean right-handed frame that displays projection and athleticism. Jones starts over the face before working to the belt and into a higher pronounced leg lift. He fires down the mound via a standard-length arm action and high three-quarters slot.

College Top 25: March 23

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....
