Perfect Game Junior College Top 25: May 3

We’re a week into the month of May and that means it’s finally time to start switching gears and get ready for postseason Junior College action. Only a handful of teams have already begun their postseason slate of games, so we have listed in this updated rankings when each team will be playing in the next week or two.

The top 5 remains unchanged with San Jacinto (44-10) holding court in the top spot followed by Santa Fe (38-7), LSU-Eunice (50-4), Neosho County (45-9) and McLennan (45-10) respectively.

While a lot of teams didn’t play at all this past week there wasn’t too much movement in the top part of our rankings, but we did take notice of LSU-Eunice traveling to Florida and playing some of the heavy hitters in that state with their games against Chipola (ranked 6th), St. Johns River (7th) and Gulf Coast (24). All three of those teams have been highly ranked throughout the year and will be dangerous opponents in tournament play. Eunice lost 2-1 to Chipola before coming back on Saturday to defeat St. Johns River 10-8 and later in the day knocked off Gulf Coast 4-3. It was a very impressive ending to the Bengals’ regular season.

Jumping into the top 10 this week is Santa Rosa (31-7) who won two of three this weekend to advance from the Northern California Regional and into the Super Regional out west. They will look to keep their impressive season going starting on Friday against a solid Folsom Lake team.

One of the bigger stories of the week was the surprising loss from John A. Logan who was knocked off in its regional tournament by Lake Land and ended their season. Logan finishes 2016 with a 44-11 record and drops from 9th to 22nd in our rankings for now.

Wabash Valley (43-11) has now won 20 straight games and continues its ascent to the top of the rankings. They climb nine spots this week and now sit 16th with no signs of slowing down. They take their winning streak into the Region 24 Tournament which kicks off on Friday the 13th.

Even with the light schedules this past week, we did see three teams drop out of the rankings. Saddleback, Central Arizona and Spartanburg Methodist all lost in postseason play in the past few days. Spartanburg Methodist still has a heartbeat though as they still qualify for their Regional Tournament.

Two new California teams enter the rankings this week with Chaffey (29-9) coming in at No. 21 and Grossmont (29-10) sitting 24th. Both of them have advanced to the Southern California Super Regionals and could potentially face each other down the road.

Check in to Perfect Game again next week as we start to see how the postseason is unfolding around the country.


Rankings are based on games through Sunday, May 8

Others considered: Jefferson College, Polk State, Cuesta, Cowley, Johnson County.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings. The defense backed the effort with great plays in the middle infield, preventing GBG Vegas from building momentum....

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

Each talented squad entered the finale undefeated, but Stacked Baseball continued their dominance throughout the tournament, defeating the Detroit Tigers Scout Team 10-2 in mercy rule fashion to become national champions behind explosive bats and impressive pitching.

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk. '27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Fresh off a state championship for Bading High School, he has picked up where he has left off this spring. It seems that he gets bigger each time I see him, but the frame really works on both sides of the ball at 6-feet, 190-pounds. It’s athletic and the actions on both sides are extremely advanced. Sawyer took home MVP honors after finishing with nine hits, six going for extra bases including two home runs, nine RBIs and eight runs scored. It’s electric at...

Texas Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74. North-south approach with a super steep release. Showed some really good feel for the zone and sequenced effectively to keep hitters off balance. Tristan Wright (2028, Magnolia, Texas) put on a show for Banditos 2028...
