CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Tens of thousands of players populating the rosters of nearly 4,400 teams participated in more than 70 Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association (WWBA), PG Baseball Championship Series (BCS) and PG World Series tournaments in January, and from late May through late October in 2016, providing a festival of competition and camaraderie unmatched in the world of amateur baseball.
The PG WWBA, PG BCS and PG WS events are the most prominent national championship-level tournaments on the annual calendar, and in the cases of the WWBA and the BCS, the longest running. They are the focus of this exercise, which is not intended to lessen the impact of the dozens of PG Youth and PG Super25 tournaments that are also held throughout the summer and fall.
The 70-plus tournament champions from the 13u through the 18u age-groups identified 14 states as their bases of operations. While the traditionally strong hotbeds of Florida, Georgia and Texas certainly represented themselves well, it was impossible to miss the achievements of entrants from other states.
The North Carolina-based Dirtbags won a championship early in the season at the 18u PG WWBA Memorial Day Classic at LakePoint and then took home the grandest prize of all by winning the PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., in late October.
Arizona-based AZ T-Rex Baseball won PG national championships at the 17u PG World Series and the PG/Evoshield Upperclass National Championship, and took home another title at the 18u PG WWBA West Memorial Day Classic; it also made a run to the final-four in Jupiter. The Nevada-based Las Vegas Recruits (LVR) shined the spotlight on their state by winning both the 14u PG WWBA West Memorial Day Classic and the PG WWBA PG/Evoshield Freshman National Championship.
And then there were the usual suspects from the powerhouse states. The Central Florida Gators rose to No. 1 in PG’s 16u National Travel Team rankings by winning both the 16u PG World Series and the PG WWBA Florida Qualifier and teams wearing East Cobb Astros uniforms won two championships at the 18u level and one each at 15u and 13u events. Georgia-based Team Elite won championships at the 18u, 16u and 13u age divisions and recorded 11 other podium finishes, including a runner-up showing from Team Elite Prime in Jupiter.
The Texas- and Florida-based Banditos organization won five championships as the MVP Banditos, Banditos Elite or Banditos Black, including the 15u PG WWBA National Championship, the 15u PG BCS Finals, the 15u PG World Series and the PG WWBA Freshman World Championship. Florida Stealth Red teams won three championships at the 15u and 14u levels.
Individually, five prospects received two Most Valuable Player or Most Valuable Pitcher awards:
T-Rex two-way standout Boyd Vander Kooi was the MV Player at the 18u PG WWBA West Memorial Day and MV Pitcher at the 17u PG World Series; Sean Guilbe from Phenom Signature (Calif.) was the MV Player at both the 16u PG WWBA MLK Championship and the 16u PG WWBA West Memorial Day Classic; East Cobb’s Gavin Lee was the MV Player at the 14u/15u PG-East Cobb Invitational and the MV Pitcher at the 15u PG World Series.
Additionally, LVR’s Jaden Agassi was the MV Player at the 14u PG WWBA West Memorial Day Classic and MV Pitcher at the PG/Evoshield Freshman National Championship; and the Florida Stealth Red’s Jacob Lojewski was the MV Player at both the 14u PG BCS Finals and the 14u PG WWBA East Labor Day Classic.
Six 2016 PG All-Americans won MV Player Awards: FTB Tucci's Connor Uselton at the 17u PG WWBA National Championship (which FTB Tucci won); AZ T-Rex’s Jacob Gonzalez at the 17u PG World Series; the Dirtbags, Phillip Clarke at the 18u PG WWBA Memorial Day Classic at LakePoint; the 643 DP Cougars’ Drew Waters at the 17u/18u PG/Evoshield Classic; TPL National’s Jordan Adell at the PG WWBA Southeast Qualifier #1 and Chain Baseball’s Cole Brannen at the PG WWBA National Championship Qualifier.
