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.  

2023 PG Premier All- Collegiate League Team

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.

March 10 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Lorenzo Carrier, OF, Pitt  The Pitt Panthers (12-2) are off to one of the best starts in recent program history and their offense has performed as one of the best in the country.  For the season, they are averaging almost 12-runs per game and on their recent trip to the West Coast, Lorenzo Carrier went on the kind of hot streak that is hard to comprehend.  The 6-5/215 senior from Bear, DE was a one-man wrecking crew in their 4-wins last week, starting with the fact that he reached base safely in 17 of his 19 trips to the plate.  He collected 13 hits in 14 official at-bats, scoring 10 runs, with 4 walks, 2 triples, 4 home runs and he drove in an insane 19-runs.  Carrier has refined his approach, simplified his bat path and is creating massive power that has him putting up career numbers.  For the season, he is...

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover. The event was littered with talent and these rankings reflect just that. St. John Bosco (CA) holds onto the first spot in this update and are being pushed by an IMG Academy (FL) team that’s 8-0 after winning the High School Showdown as well as beating two preseason top-10 teams in the first few weeks of the season. Orange Lutheran (CA) holds onto the No. 3 spot after a 1-0 start to the year and just a few weeks away from NHSI. A trio of Florida schools follow Olu in South Walton (FL), fresh off a win at the HS Showdown, Venice (FL), a surging team...

March 3 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Cider Canon, OF, Duke  The Duke Blue Devils (11-3) went through massive changes in the offseason, with a new coaching staff and heavy roster turnover like is often seen in the college game today.  That hasn’t held them back as they have kind of flown under the radar on their way to a tie for the most wins in the nation.  They won 4 out 5 games last week and Cider Canon was the driving force behind their offensive onslaught.  The 5-11/180 outfielder from San Marino, CA put together an incredible week collecting 9 hits in 14 at-bats, good for a .643 BA, scoring 7 runs, with 3 walks, 4 home runs and driving in a total of 10 runs.  After a successful couple years at Davidson College, Cider made the trip north to Durham and has fit right into the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense.  For the season, he is...
