PG Premier All-Collegiate League Team

2023 Perfect Game Premier All-Collegiate League Team Selections 

The 2023 Perfect Game Premier Collegiate League was a stellar year, as Aces Collegiate Black were crowned as back-to-back champions headlined by a stellar group of arms. Banditos Taylor finished as runner ups with an impressive stretch over the entirety of the summer. Below is a list of our All-Collegiate team to highlight some of the standout performers by adding an extra outfield slot as well as a Designated Hitter and Extra Hitter spot to make some room for serious sluggers.

MVP: Parker Airhart, C, OSP Baseball 
MVP Pitcher: Carlos Samuel Marquez, RHP, Aces Collegiate Black 

This year’s All-Collegiate League team features heavy sluggers and high-end athletes across the board. Parker Airhart earned MVP honors with his absolute display, tying a league best with four homers and was a consistent force behind the dish and at the plate. He joins Raffi Gross and Sam Hardcastle as a trio of potent bats in the OSP lineup. Braydon Caldwell had a stellar summer and established himself as one of the premier shortstops here. He’s a high contact hitter with real feel and an above-average runner at a premium spot up the middle. Chase Mora and Parker Edwards round out the rest of the dirt, as Mora was one of the most dangerous bats coming off his stellar freshman campaign with Texas State. Edwards sent some of the furthest hit balls of the tournament and fits right into first base along with his enticing two-way ability as a low/mid-90s arm. James Kaden Nolan, Tregan Hyder and Caden Robertson round out the rest of the outfield spots as each of them brought a unique combination of speed and power. Robertson in particular was simply stellar, collecting 18 hits and four homers this summer. Nathan Becker and Daniel Bell provide some heavy thump at out DH and EH spots as both are immense physical sticks with loud strength at impact.  

On the bump, this year’s group had a good amount of depth and solid arsenals to match. Carlos Samuel Marquez earned MVP Pitcher as closed out the championship and was lights out all year, running it up to 93 mph with a potent slider and striking out 40 over 25 innings. Hayden Morris had the top velocity in the event with a 95 mph fastball with good carry and two hard breakers. Brock Shoffener was another power arm for Aces Collegiate Black, filling the zone at will and topping 91 mph all the while allowing zero runs over 19 innings. Drew Maust ate up innings all summer, running it up to 92 mph and recording 47 strikeouts over 33 innings. Overall, it was a standout year on both sides of the ball.

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.   Player of the Week: Jarren Advincula – Georgia Tech  Last week, Fernando Mendoza was taken with the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza transferred from the University of California – Berkeley (Cal) to Indiana University in advance of his draft year. Upon transferring, he won the Heisman Trophy and led the Hoosiers to a national championship. Advincula also transferred from Cal in advance of his draft year, but he took his talents to Georgia Tech. And, while there is still time left in the season, Advincula has positioned himself to be in the conversation for College Baseball’s...

Slo-mo look at the swing by Jordan Ransom (‘26, AZ) #PGHS @QCHS_Athletics @PG_Draft https://t.co/fyPaOimF5k pic.twitter.com/T7yH6a1qRI — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 29, 2026 OF Ryan Harwood, Casteel (Ariz).  Harwood is one of the premier draft names in the state and showed why in the regular season finale. The Texas A&M commit collected a pair of hits and also threw a runner out at home from left field. Harwood possesses impressive physicality that can produce big impact at the plate. The profile has middle of the order upside. Defensively, Harwood profiles best for a corner outfield spot long term. The arm strength may allow him to slide over to right field, as he can produce strong on-line carry. Harwood showed off that arm strength on the mound, where he threw the last inning and ran the heater up to 91 mph. IF Jordan Ransom, Queen Creek...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 29

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Across all three divisions of college baseball, the teams making the most noise heading into the postseason share a common trait — they score runs, and they score them relentlessly. Along with the updated rankings, this week we take a look at the top run-producing programs in DII, DIII and NAIA baseball, spotlighting a trio of teams from each division whose offenses have separated themselves from the field. The numbers tell a compelling story. Whether it's the defending NAIA champion LSU Shreveport Pilots reloading with a new roster yet still posting 10+ runs per game, the Pittsburg State Gorillas hanging blowout after blowout on opponents, or the Lynchburg Hornets making a case as the most complete team in Division III baseball, the formula is largely the same — deep lineups, disciplined at-bats, and the ability to keep pressure on a pitching staff from the first pitch to...

College Players of the Week: April 28

Craig Cozart
Article Image
April 28th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jarren Advincula, IF, Georgia Tech  It is well documented how good the Georgia Tech offense was in 2025, so when the Yellow Jackets added Jarren Advincula from the transfer portal in the off-season, the expectations went through the roof for ’26.  Somehow, the team and Advincula have not only met but exceeded those expectations in virtually every way.  Advincula, the 6-2/195 infielder from Santa Clara, CA, has been a fixture in the middle infield and is an elite defender with the leather.  He shows natural instincts for the game and as the season has progressed, he has found himself inserted into the 3-hole in their powerful lineup.  Hitting from the left-side of the plate, Advincula put together an impressive week as Tech took down Georgia in the mid-week and swept Wake Forest on the weekend.  He was...

It was another weekend of upsets, upheaval and consequential series victories across the nation.  After the dust settled, the UCLA Bruins (39-4) remain the No. 1 team in the nation after their (3-1) week stepping outside Big Ten play, taking a series against Sacramento State.  Their perfect (21-0) start in conference play is still intact with three weekend series to go.  UNC (36-8) sticks at No. 2 this week after they went across town to take on archrival Duke, winning that series and finishing the week with a (3-1) record.  The No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (36-7) showed their moxie by coming back from large deficits multiple times and swept conference foe Wake Forest, extending their lead in the ACC standings to 2-games.  The Texas Longhorns (32-9) are No. 4 in the poll this week after winning a tightly contested series on the road against Vanderbilt. ...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: Top 100

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
PG Draft: Top-100 Reports (April Update) 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the only tool that doesn’t jump...
