PG Select Qualifying Tournaments


2017 14u Perfect Game Select Baseball Festival event page

With the announcement of the 2017 14u PG Select Baseball Festival returning to JetBlue Park – home of the Red Sox Spring Training facility – in Fort Myers, Florida, Sept. 1-3, there are more opportunities than ever for 14u aged players or 2021 grads to qualify for the nationally televised event. To be eligible for the event players must participate in at least one Perfect Game event during the year.

Listed below are some of Perfect Game’s flagship tournament events, where the level of competition will be as high as ever, that players can attend to qualify and be noticed by the Perfect Game scouting staff (click on the event name to visit the event page).




2021 Grads or 14u WWBA National Championship
June 23-30
The WWBA National Championships are some of the highest-attended and highest-quality events that Perfect Game produces. Held at the PG Park South fields at LakePoint in Emerson, Georgia, the week-long 14u event features a multitude of opportunities for players to show off their talent and play in highly-competitive games. Last year’s champions were the Roadrunners and they were led by eventual PG Select Baseball Festival participants Dalton Pearson, the event MVP, and Patrick Holloman, the MV-Pitcher. An additional 11 other players who were eventually selected to play in the inaugural 14u PG Select participated in the 2016 14u WWBA National Championship.


14u PG Super25 National Championship
July 2-8
The PG Super25 continues to grow year after year and following a very competitive 2016, 2017 looks to be jam-packed with talent. The GoWags Lumberkings took home the 14u crown last year and the tournament saw a trio of players that would end up participating in the PG Select Baseball Festival including lefthanded pitcher Jackson Phipps, righthander Hank Bearden and outfielder Hudson Sapp.


14u BCS Finals
July 4-10
The Baseball Championship Series (BCS) is the top event run in the state of Florida over the course of the summer. The talent pool is extremely deep and is home to some of the finest talent especially in the Florida and Southeast region. Last year 12 players from the BCS Finals were selected to participate in the inaugural PG Select Baseball Festival.



14u PG The Series Classic
July 8-14

The 14u PG Series Classic is an event designed to bring together top-level talent from across the United States, and beyond, to one place. After the first day of the event, in which players perform a series of skills tests, the players are divided into teams, created by the PG Series staff, and play a series of pool play games before advancing to bracket play to determine the event champion. Last year the East Georgia team beat SoCal 12-4 in the championship game and a pair of players from the event ended up participating in the 14u PG Select: Lucas Costello and Johnny Castagnozzi. To view all of the PG Series Challenge and PG Series Classic events please visit this page: 2017 PG Series Challenge/Classic Schedule


14u Perfect Game World Series
July 24-28
The crown jewel of the summer tournament season are the World Series events that Perfect Game hosts. Elite Squad came away with the 14u title last season and the event as a whole saw a number of players who later on accepted invitations to play in the PG Select Baseball Festival.



Perfect Game will also be introducing the inaugural 14u National Showcase that will be held August 5-6 at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers. The event will be similar to the National Showcase for high school juniors, as players will run the 60-yards dash, perform infield and outfield drills, taking batting practice and play in PG showcase-style games as they are being evaluated and graded by scouts. Participants for the PG Select Baseball Festival will be identified during this event as well as the tournaments throughout the year.

PG Wood Bat Fall Kickoff Scout Notes

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Evan Thompson (‘29, AZ) showcasing the all-fields power with this ground rule double the other way. Immense power upside. Really fun offensive profile #FallKickoff https://t.co/l551KirUOf pic.twitter.com/QW0AIeg59g — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) September 7, 2026 Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, Ariz.) put on an offensive clinic throughout the weekend, going 8-for-13 with three extra-base hits. He capped off his MVP performance with a walkoff home run to take home the championship. Thompson is one of the premier players in the 2029 class. A fluid left-handed stroke consistently finds barrels. There is all fields power present that will only continue to develop further. It would not be a surprise if Thimpson ends up the top ranked player in the class when it is all said and done.  Chase Fillman (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) put together a loud summer circuit and...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo πŸ’£ on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers.

What Profiles Are Valued Most at Top of Draft

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The landscape of the MLB Draft continues to evolve each and every year. What teams value at the top of the draft can change based on the strength of a particular class, shifts in player development philosophy, and, perhaps most importantly, the way organizations evaluate risk and upside. Some trends are subtle, while others become impossible to ignore when viewed across multiple years. For this study, I set out to answer one question: What player profiles do teams value at the top of the draft? To answer it, I analyzed the Top-100 picks from each of the last six drafts (2021-2026). That gives us 600 total selections to examine and provides a large enough sample to identify both the profiles that have remained consistently popular and those that have gained or lost significant ground. The data was broken down by position, handedness and level to create individual player profiles. While...

Harry Chubb Jones Jr. is getting an early start on the next chapter of his baseball career.

2027 MLB Draft Profile Preview: Collegiate Right-Handed Pitchers The collegiate left-handed pitching class is always a popular demographic, and this year’s is no different.

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo πŸ’£ (100 EV/ 416 ft). Adv. hitter with accurate...
