Ohio Valley All-Tournament Teams

Perfect Game’s new Super25 series took place in the Ohio Valley Region the weekend of June 12-15, with the 17u, 15u and 14u Regionals all taking place. 

In the 17u tournament was held in Dublin, Ohio.  Talented teams like the Cincinnati Baseball Club, the Kentucky Baseball Club, and the Louisville Baseball Club all showed off some series talent, but it was the Illinois Blaze that ended up taking the title.

The All-Tournament Team is full of promising players who should dominate during their senior years of high school.

Notable hitting performances from the tournament included Larkin Hanselman and Luke Johnson from the champion Illinois Blaze.  Hanselman led the tournament in hits (14) and batting average (.560), while Johnson led the tournament in RBI (8) while hitting .500.  JJ Johnson of the Cincinnati Baseball also had a huge weekend, hitting .526 and leading the tournament in slugging (.789).

On the mound, Buck Moore of the Hilliard Cats was the most notable pitcher from the weekend.  He averaged a strikeout per inning while leading the tournament in innings pitched (14).  Hanselman was also effective on the mound, as he allowed only 1 hit and had a WHIP of 0.143 for the weekend.

Below is the full list of All-Tournament teams for the 17u Ohio Valley Regional.

In the 15u tournament, the Huntington Hounds, Columbus Cobras, and Ohio Elite Moss all played well, but the Kentucky Baseball Club ended up with the Regional championship, beating the Cobras 6-3 in the title game. 

The Kentucky Baseball Club went undefeated during the tournament largely due to their excellent starting pitching.  CJ Bush let up just one hit while striking out 7.  Jacob Abbott also struck out 7 in 6 innings on the hill, while Ben Jordan led the tournament in strikeouts with 9.

At the plate, Abbott led the Kentucky Baseball Club on offense with a tournament-best 8 RBI.  The Ohio Elite Moss had the best offense of the tournament, however, with Jason Schutte leading the way.  Schutte slugged 1.000 while hitting .636, while Austin Nester drove in 7 and Sam Wilson and Dimitri Bergados drove in 5 for the Ohio Elite offense.

UBC Midwest X Atlantic Notes: Part 1

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Jack Postma (2028, Barrington, IL) made an impression in Chicago this week. A 6-foot-5 right hander with a starter pitch mix. Topped out at 93 in his outing at UBC Midwest and pitched at 88-93 for 2 innings on the mound. Slider showed late horizontal bite at its best when finished out front. Change up is a usable third pitch with fading action and ability to miss bats. Clean overall operation in the delivery. Upside with added stability in the arm action. Chance to be one of the top prospects in Illinois and potentially the country with necessary adjustments moving forward.  Connor Basinski (2028, Columbia, IL) an athletic player with 2-way potential. Physicality stands out for a player in the 2028 class. Swung the bat impressively well in Chicago. Hits from a wide stance and stays balanced using strength and leverage to drive the baseball to all fields. Launched a long pull side...

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Mason Conner (2029, Palestine, Texas) was a force in the middle-of-the-order for Gold Culture. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a negative leg lift stride. Strides through and uncoils the lower half well and creates separation in the back shoulder. Solid hand speed with a flat bat plane and feel to leverage and lift. Impacts the ball well with feel to impact and drive. The shortstop showed the power upside belting a two-run homer over the fence in left field and added a two-RBI knock later in the game. Medium 6-foot, 175-pound frame that was consistently on the barrel and showed a good approach at the plate working two walks. Lennon Dunn (2029, Mansfield, Texas) competed and showed the upside on the mound for Stix 2029 Scout. The right-handed pitcher...

Coppy's Corner: July 21 Summer Edition

John Coppolella
Article Image
The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it.    Player of the Week: Coen Niclai – Wareham Gatemen  The Internet tells me that 12 MLB players have come from Alaska, 10 of whom were from Anchorage, and the best of which is Curt Schilling. Niclai, who is also...

Championships are never won in a single game. For FTB National 2027, this one has been in the making for years. An 8-0 victory over Team Elite 17U Scout capped off an unforgettable week at the 2026 Perfect Game 17U National Elite Championship, but according to those inside the dugout, the championship was a product of friendships formed long before the tournament ever began. FTB took their first national elite win in team history, giving one of the nation’s top 2027 teams an elite ending to their 17U summer. “This is a homegrown group,” head coach Will Haynie said. “This team has been together for the last four or five years, and I think a lot of them have been together since the Little League World Series when they were 12. It’s been fun, and a nice little cap off to their 17U summer, especially after winning a big event like this.” That chemistry...
