States Represented

  • 8 (California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio)


 Ranked Players

  • Ethan Wood, Team Halo (2021, 4)

Summary

 The Major division for the 14u Invitational features a loaded slate of teams from all across the country. Defending champion of the 14u Spring Kick-Off Tri-State Arsenal (N.J.) is back for the event along with 643 Jags (Ga.), Black Knights (Ga.), Phoenix Elite (N.C.), Team Halo (Ga.), and WFBA (Fla.) from the previous event. The highest ranked player in the event is righthander Ethan Wood (2021, Ky.) and he is playing with a Team Halo team that impressed at the Kick-Off. The Tri-State team that won the Kick-Off will be the favorite from this event, but expect consistent top programs that have participated in Perfect Game events in the past such as BPA (Calif.) and Dirtbags Black (N.C.) to find a way to make it deep into the playoffs.

Summary

Boasting the largest number of teams per tournament this weekend is the Minor division for the 14u age group. Non-Georgia teams include Game Day Mojo (Colo.) and MBA Elite (Miss.). There will be a lot of competition with the large amount of teams with the end result sure to be in question heading into the weekend.
