13u Tourney All-American Team

Jheremy Brown
Cam McElwaney
Scott Rankin
What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort. 

As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and they will be detailed later. There's also the 54/80 option for players and teams to play in, along with Minors and AAA, all things that are looked at when assembling both teams. 



Let's take a quick second, starting with the offense, and appreciate the performances these guys put together while highlighting some of the eye opening numbers across the board. Texas outfielder Jesse Soberal Jr. is no stranger to Perfect Game events and once again put his best foot forth, continuing to swing a hot stick while earning a First Team best 31 All-Tournament Team nods. Of the 24 man roster, 20 of the players hit double digit home runs, but none connected for more moonshots than Florida's own Mark Thompson who belted 28 home runs, a truly other worldly number. There's no lacking in the speed department thanks to Louisiana's Derrick Carley Jr and his 74 bags and nobody was able to match the bat-to-ball skills of Quintin Blackwell out of California as he hit a robust .567 on the circuit. 

For as good as the bats were, there were still plenty of arms who impressed on the brightest of stages, earning their spots on both the first and second team, respectively. Amongst the sea of impressive resumes of work, you have numbers like 120 (Jack Drake's strikeout numbers), 0.908 (Luke Rohlfs' WHIP) or even 90 mph, the best heater we saw from this group last year, courtesy of Amani Tuiasosopo (though that comes with a caveat of sorts as he popped the 90 this past fall, after the calendar switched to 14u, but that's okay.) 

Of all the elite performers, it wasn't the easiest to narrow it down to a single player for the Player, Pitcher and Two-Way Player of the Year, but through some deliberation, and truly letting the numbers speak for themselves, below are the winners of each award.

Player of the Year: Mark Thompson (FL)

28 home runs. That's it. That's all that needs to be said. But, Mark Thompson is more than just home runs and his overall stat line this summer was simply otherworldly. In any other year there'd be a handful of players vying for this spot, but Thompson's performance was simply too loud to be overtaken. Over the course of 258 plate appearances, the Floridian racked up 111 hits, good for a .558 batting average, but his 1.817 OPS is even more impressive as he gathered 23 doubles, 12 triples and those 28 round trippers. There's obviously intent to do damage every time he steps into the box, but he's not going to sell out, showing a disciplined approach, not afraid to draw his walks to simply take what the pitcher gives him. He's an all fields hitter with a very real feel for the barrel and it's the type of swing that'll continue to excel as he climbs the ranks and into the wooden bat phase of the 14u circuit. 

Pitcher of the Year: Noah Osterman (GA)

Not only does Osterman have arguably the best line across the board on the first team from this past summer, but he did it against some of the best teams in the country and we all know pitching at the 13u level isn't the easiest given what you're going up against. A low-80s lefty from southern Georgia, Osterman exemplifies what it means to be a "pitcher" in that he throws three pitches, in any count, with real feel to move it throughout the four quadrants and to either side of the plate. That's not to say low-80s at the 13u level isn't impressive, it truly is, but more that he doesn't just rely on challenging hitters on the strength of a heater. Over the course of his 65.1 innings he punched out 99 and more impressively walked just 32, limiting the big hit while finishing the year with a 1.270 WHIP, a very good mark at the 13u level. Osterman might be the 13u Pitcher of the Year but he also found a spot on the second team for his hitting as he's an all-around quality athlete, showing an innate feel for hitting as evidenced by his nearly .500 average and 1.463 OPS, showing there's some hidden juice at the plate as well. 

Two-Way Player of the Year: Jhunior Jose Cordero (FL)

I'll challenge you to go find something on the baseball field that Cordero can't do. It might take you a little bit. So let's dive into what he CAN do and know it's a little bit of everything at the highest of levels. A first teamer for both pitching and hitting, it's fitting that the young Floridian takes home the Two-Way Player of the Year honors and rightfully so given what he did. Possessing one of the better fastball in the class as he'll park it in the mid- to upper-80s, Cordero can absolutely spin the baseball which led him to punching out 93 in just 65 innings to just 36 walks and proved to be nearly unhittable as suggested by his minute and first team best 0.826 WHIP. How about with the bat though? Well, he hit almost .500 on the year (.497) and had as many doubles as he did home runs with 11 in both columns, proving to consistently find the power stroke. There's a combination of bat speed and strength that you don't often find at the 13u level and he's proven time and time again that he's just not full of tools, but that they play at the highest of levels as well.

14u Tourney All-American Team
Tyler Russo

Player of the Year: Asher Williams It was an incredible year for Williams that was rewarded with a trip to the 14U Select Fest, before some more impressive play in the fall. He came to the plate almost 250 times in PG tournaments throughout 2025 and reached base in well over half of them, hitting to a .500 AVG while slugging a 14U circuit best 12 bombs and driving in 113 runs. The numbers on the surface are ridiculous, but when you look at the high-level events he put them up in, it makes it even more impressive. Pitcher of the Year: Tristan Blalock Blalock earns this honor after a dominant 2025 where he struck out 85 batters in just 48.2 innings of work with a minuscule 1.58 ERA. This included several strong performances at many national level tournaments and showcases where he was able to bully some of the best hitters in the country. It’s hard not to fall in love with...

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals. The roster was a tremendous blend of offensive firepower, frontline pitching and elite defense, leaving opponents with very few avenues to victory.

IMG Academy Takes Home the National Title Every year IMG Academy comes into the spring with top-to-bottom one of the top rosters in the country and every year have the expectation of winning the national championship. Well in 2025 they did just that after finishing the spring 24-1, winning the High School Showdown, and winning 15 straight games to end their season. Their high end offensive ability was on full display throughout the year and they will once again be one of the most talented teams in the country in ’26 as they look to go back-to-back.

With the 2025 cycle officially behind us and the calendar nearly flipping over to 2026, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. More importantly, start looking ahead to the next season of college baseball and what that may mean for draft-eligible players with big dreams of continuing their journey. While the 2026 MLB Draft is now on the horizon, we are looking ahead to the future even further – to see which players have already made impacts upon their arrival to college campuses.

The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations.

Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026 Commitment: Bucknell Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach.

Huntington Beach HS World Series Recap

Steve Fiorindo
