MARIETTA, Ga. – With a roster full of Division I commits, victories have come quite easily for Marucci Elite, which is now 3-0 in the WWBA 17u National Championship.

“Anything less than a championship, we’re disappointed,” said head coach of Marucci Elite Chad Raley. “We’ve got the single goal to win every tournament we play in.”

Marucci Elite started off the tournament with a big win on Friday against the Long Island Prospects Pro Elite, where right-hander Joe Cavallaro (South Florida commit) racked up 13 strikeouts. Keith Weisenberg (Stanford commit) led them to another victory by throwing a no-hitter against the South Florida Bandits North on Monday.

Marucci Elite continued their winning streak with a 10-2 victory over the Richmond Braves 17u West on Tuesday. Clay Moffit allowed only two runs during his five innings on the mound, and Andy Pagnozzi held the Braves at two in the sixth and final inning.

At the plate, Marucci Elite dominated. Handsome Monica (Arizona commit) and Gregory Deichmann (Louisiana State commit) both drove in three. Deichmann did so in dramatic fashion, hitting a towering three-run homer in the third inning, which followed Brandon Chapman’s (George Washington commit) solo homer that started off the inning.

“He’s got a lot of power, (and) he’s going to be a high draft,” said Raley about Deichmann. “First time I saw Greg he was 14. He was swinging the bat really well. We stayed in touch and finally his high school let him go and play with us this year. He usually has to stay back and play with his high school team, so we’re really happy to have him.”

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound shortstop is ranked No. 13 on the Perfect Game High School Class of 2014 National Rankings, and is ranked No. 1 overall in Louisiana. He’s also recognized as a 2013 Underclass First Team All-American. Deichmann said he’s been putting in a lot of work in the offseason as well as during the season to get him there.

“Staying humble and staying focused (is important),” added Deichmann.

Deichmann is from Metairie, La., and attends Brother Martin High School where he was recognized on the New Orleans area All-District team. He graduates in 2014, and will play at Louisiana State University, where he made a verbal commitment after his freshman year.

”It has kind of been my dream school so (when they offered) I said yes,” explained Deichmann.

Among other prospects on this team is Jakson Reetz, who shows his versatile talent at multiple positions on the field. This is Reetz’s first tournament with Marucci Elite.

Jakson Reetz excels both behind the plate and on the mound.
