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

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...

MVPitcher: Duncan McLeod The uncommitted junior toed the slab in three of the four games for Team Mick, tossing 3 2/3 innings.  Zero walks, zero hits and 6 punchouts for the lefty who was used both as a starter in the series clinching game 4 and he closed out game 3 on Friday in quick fashion.  McLeod was very efficient as well, needing just 42 pitches over all his outings.  In the game 4 start, over two innings he punched out 3, with one strikeout with all of his offerings.  The mid 80’s fastball regularly played up, set up with efficient use of the secondaries, with the breaking ball 73/74 and fading change-up 72-74.   Owen Bone (2026) at it again... Solo shot in the 5th to tie things up. Back to back days with a home run for Bone. #PGHS pic.twitter.com/2JC9qETI5h — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) December 13, 2025 MV Hitter: ...

PG Draft: Gut Feel Guys

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While we are nearing the turn of the calendar to the 2026 year, that means we are just inching closer to the beginning of the season for many high school players and college baseball is on the horizon. We are prepping for a reshuffle of the 2026 MLB Draft Board as well here amongst the PG Draft staff. But before we get to that, we sat down and have each picked a couple of players who are in the mix to get selected in a couple of different buckets.  We have prospects who could go into the Top 30 picks or so, prospects who could be selected in the Top 5 rounds, and prospects who could go inside of the Top 10 rounds. With the draft quite far down the road and a lot of re-shuffling to be done as these players play themselves into certain spots on the draft board, our scouts picked some players who fit into these “buckets” who are gut-feel guys. These are the guys that our PG...

Hitter of the Year: Landon Bonner The 2028 class saw many players from across the country take the next step in their development as they entered the High School ranks. There were huge performances from highly ranked players on the PG circuit as well as some under-the-radar guys who burst onto the scene. Landon Bonner came into Sophomore National as a Top 500 ranked player and after an impressive showing, left with all eyes on him as a rankings riser in the class. The left-handed hitting shortstop from The Colony, Texas, had a summer to remember with All-Tournament Team selections in three of his next four events culminating with a historic performance at the 2025 PG 15U WWBA National Championship. The Hebron High School prep went 20-for-24 in nine games for 5 Star Mafia 15U Black with four homeruns and 12 runs batted in. He also scored 17 runs and finished with a mind-boggling 2.500...

Hitter of the Year: Koa Romero is the Hitter of the Year for the 16u group, as he would come to every premier event of the summer and earn All-Tournament honors (Beast of the East, 16/17u WWBA, Jupiter) in every single one. Over 82 plate appearances, Romero would pump ten homeruns with forty two RBI and sixteen walks, good for a .378 average and 1.339 OPS. The performance on volume at the best events of the year pushed Romero over the edge here, as he’d hit a pair of homeruns in Jupiter (one of them at 112 EV) as an underclassmen and collect double digit hits in BOTH WWBA events with a combined six jacks over the two tournaments. It was a summer that combined performance and winning on the biggest stages for Romero. It’s a quiet left-handed swing that packs a punch. He would reap the benefits of his performances, earning a commitment to LSU and jumping to the #74 prospect in...

There’s a lot of talent throughout this 2026 class, filled with the big-name stars, to talent that spreads across the nation. It’s been a lot of fun seeing these prospects grow and develop over the years, from the days of watching some of these guys at the 13/14u days at events on the circuit, to now where they are all graduating seniors in 2026. There’s been new faces who have popped along the way over the years, even in 2026, where some players who were relatively undiscovered, have come out and made a name for themselves with a statement performance. Between the familiar and the new, there’s a lot of names on this list that are going to be quite regularly talked about on the circuit, and for good reason.  Whether it’s PG All-Americans or not, there’s a lot of names with superstar potential at the next level.

Scout Stories: Part 5

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...
