EMERSON, Ga. - In one of the most contested matchups in recent PG memory, Team Elite Nation outlasted Team Halo and captured the championship of the 2017 PG 14u Super25 Georgia Super Qualifier Red Bracket. In a game that was headlined by power righthanders, defense is what secured the 5-3 final score for Team Elite.

The game was headlined by starting flamethrowers Ethan Wood, of Team Halo, and Grant Taylor, of Team Elite. Wood opened the game firing fastballs to the plate in the 84-87 mph range. Opposing on the mound was Taylor who responded to the 1-2-3 inning by throwing one of his own with fastballs from 89-91 mph.

Team Elite broke through for the early 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. They pushed a run across after an errant throw on a sacrifice bunt attempt. Team Halo would respond in the bottom of the first inning, however. 

Team Halo pushed across three runs thanks, in part, to mistakes by the Team Elite and to their patience and baseball IQ. The three runs were scored on a throwing error and then Team Halo was able to show patience at the plate to work an RBI walk and an RBI hit-by-pitch.

Team Elite would add an RBI groundout in the top of the fourth to make it a one-run game heading into the final two innings. The biggest hit of the game came off the bat of Team Elite's Ayden Digiacomo. With the bases loaded, Digiacomo laced a two-run double to the right-centerfield gap that would bring across the game-tying and go-ahead runs.

Team Halo was threatening in the bottom of the seventh and down two runs. With no outs, Team Halo laced a hard liner right at the shortstop that as turned for a quick double play. Team Elite recorded a strikeout on the next batter to clinch the victory. 

Brady House was named MVP of the tournament for Team Elite. House recorded a team-high nine hits (.529 average) with five extra-base hits, thirteen RBI, and six runs scored. Ryan Spikes of Team Halo was named MV-Pitcher. Spikes recorded a complete game shutout in the semifinals highlighted by four strikeouts.

EMERSON, Ga. - In an equally exciting championship final for the 2017 PG 14u Super25 Georgia Super Qualifier Blue Bracket, the 643 DP Cougars came back to defeat the East Cobb Astros by a score of 4-3. The Cougars showed the depth of their team as it took everyone to come back and down the Astros.

The Astros struck first and put two early runs on the board through the first two innings. A bases loaded walk in the first followed by a run-scoring wild pitch put the Astros in the driver's seat as they headed into the middle innings.

The Cougars would fight back to tie the game and take the lead in the fourth inning. With the bases loaded, the Cougars had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly to knot the game at two apiece. Toward the end of the inning the Cougars pushed another run across on an error to take the lead.

A clutch RBI single in the fifth inning would put the game out of reach and secure the victory for the Cougars.

The MVP of the tournament was Christian Smith of the 643 DP Cougars. Smith batted .357 with a team-high twelve RBI that included two home runs. Andrew Armstrong of the East Cobb Astros took home MV-Pitcher honors after his effort in the semifinals. He tossed a complete game (six inning) shutout with only three hits allowed and struck out five batters.

EMERSON, Ga. - The East Cobb Astros finished their impressive tournament run with a deciding 9-1, run-rule victory over Battalion Baseball. The Astros jumped out to an early 8-0 lead that proved insurmountable to secure the championship of the 2017 PG 13u Super25 Georgia Super Qualifier Red Bracket. 

The Astros put the pressure on early in the game and pushed two runs across in the top of the first. An RBI single and an RBI groundout gave the Astros the early lead.

The Astros broke the game open in the top of the second inning with six runs scored in the frame. Four batters had run-scoring hits in the frame, including two-run doubles by both Benjamin Hamacher and Treylen White, as the Astros were able to circle the bases early. 

The hole was too deep to climb out of and after adding an insurance run in the top of the fifth inning, the Astros were able to hold on to clinch victory.

Benjamin Hamacher was named the MVP for the East Cobb Astros. Hamacher has a team-high nine hits (.750 average) with nine RBI and nine runs scored. Joey Hylinski was named MV-Pitcher for Battalion Baseball. Hylinski provided 8.1 quality innings with a sub-1.00 ERA that included seven strikeouts.

EMERSON, Ga. - Although the game was in doubt early on, the Georgia Bombers were able to break away late to take the championship for the 2017 PG 13u Super25 Georgia Super Qualifier Blue Bracket. The Bombers downed Dulins Wright by a score of 13-3.

Both teams showed the capabilities of their offense early on. The two teams traded blows in the first inning, advancing to the second tied at two apiece. Through three innings the Bombers led 4-3 heading into the top of the fourth.

The Bombers broke out the big bats in the top of the fourth to take a crucial 8-3 lead. RBI hits by Cade Thompson, Kaiden Ellis, and Dee Oliver stood out in the inning and thanks to timely hitting the Bombers were able to cruise throughout the rest of the game.

Five more runs were added in the game as the Bombers leapt to a big victory. The efforts on the mound from Kaiden Ellis and Parker Brosius worked to limit the Dulins offense to no runs over the final four innings and they were imperative to victory on Sunday night.

Cade Thompson was named MVP of the tournament and he powered the Bombers offense all-event long. Thompson hit a robust .684 with a team-high thirteen hits that included seven RBI and nine runs scored. George Hamsley of Dulins was named MV-Pitcher for the tournament. Hamsley shut down the opposing offense in his lone start where he went five shutout innings.

Top 100 Collegiate Seniors

Article Image
Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen | Top 100 Collegiate Sophomores | Top 100 Collegiate Juniors This senior board is one of the deepest we’ve assembled in years. From experienced weekend arms with power stuff, to proven position players coming off loud 2025 spring seasons, to former prospects returning from injury and looking to reestablish their status, impact players are scattered throughout the group. Headlining the board is Maika Niu, now at Arkansas after a strong season at Marshall and an MVP summer on the Cape. Nui is a high-level athlete in center field and a legitimate offensive force who should slide seamlessly into the heart of the Razorbacks’ lineup. Close behind are two premium arms in Ole Miss’s Hunter Elliott and Kentucky’s Jaxon Jelkin. Elliott is coming off a monster 2025 spring, going 10–3 with a 2.94 ERA and 104 strikeouts, and...

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen | Top 100 Collegiate Sophomores As we look ahead to another season of college baseball and continue our week of class-by-class lists, we look at the Junior class and we’ve got our Top 100 Juniors in the 2026 college season. This list aligns with the PG Draft lists we compiled at the top, with Roch Cholowsky, Drew Burress, and AJ Gracia rounding out the top three. There’s a litany of storylines to follow this year, with players who have tons of draft upside or players looking to be impactful players among their respective programs.

Talent is present all across the board, with players who could make some serious statements this year.

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 sophomores on campus this spring.  This list is chalk full of talent, with future draft prospects littered top to bottom. The headliner of this group is Derek Curiel, a draft eligible sophomore that took the SEC by storm last spring. The Perfect Game All-American posted a .990 OPS over the course of a full season and is projected to vault himself further up the board during his ‘26 campaign. An electric arm in Dax Whitney follows up Curiel, with Strosnider, Lawson and Franco rounding out the top five.  Keep tabs on the draft eligible sophomores in this group come the summer. The rest of the pack are eligible for next year’s draft and figure to feature at the top of many draft lists in ‘27.  Rk. Name Level Pos. B-T School Hometown...

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 freshmen on campus this spring.  Three high-end arms lead the way, starting with Jack Bauer. The Mississippi State left-hander reached triple digits as a prep and is sure to make an immediate impact this spring. UCLA right-hander Angel Cervantes was selected in the 2nd round of last year’s draft but held firm on his commitment and should be an impact arm for the Bruins. Following the arms, a collection of bats rounds out the Top 10. There is loads of upside to the group with the potential and they should draw considerable playing time as freshman.  As the list gets deeper, there are plenty of players that should pop up and make significant contributions both this year and years down the line. The class has both depth and talent, making for a very intriguing group of...
