FORT MYERS, Fla. – The 12th annual Perfect Game Junior National Showcase is set to begin its four-day run on Monday, June 12, when nearly 180 of the top rising high school juniors and sophomores from the classes of 2019 of 2020 are set to converge on jetBlue Park for the invitation-only event.

The underclass prospects are divided into eight teams, with teams 1 through 4 taking part in workouts and playing showcase games on Monday-Tuesday, June 12-13, and teams 5 through 8 doing the same thing on Wednesday-Thursday, June 14-15. For the complete schedule, please click here.

Just as in years past, the PG Jr. National is being held in the days preceding the PG National Showcase, which this year will run Friday, June 16, through Wednesday, June 21, also at jetBlue Park.

This year’s PG Jr. National will showcase many of the best underclass prospects in the country.

The 2019 class is headed by No. 1-ranked shortstop/right-hander Bobby Witt Jr. from Colleyville, Texas, an Oklahoma commit who plays travel-ball with the Texas-based DBAT organization. No. 6 outfielder/left-hander Riley Greene (Ovieda, Fla.; FTB Tucci; Florida), No. 7 catcher/outfielder Jake Holland (Miramar, Fla.; Elite Squad 17u Prime; Miami) and No. 8 infielder/outfielder Rece Hinds (Niceville, Fla.; Chain National; Louisiana State) will also be in attendance.

Other prominent 2019s slated to perform in front of the hundreds of scouts and college coaches that will be at JetBlue Park for all four days include:

No.  14 outfielder Logan Britt (Aledo, Texas; DBAT; Texas A&M), No. 16 shortstop Tyler Callihan (Neptune Beach, Fla.; Central Florida Gators; South Carolina); No. 17 right-hander/outfielder Joseph Charles (Celebration, Fla.; Central Florida Gators; North Carolina) and No. 19 outfielder/left-hander Judson Fabian (Ocala, Fla.; Orlando Scorpions; Florida).

The 2020 class is ably represented by five prospects ranked in the top-10 nationally:

No. 2 right-hander/corner-infielder Victor Mederos (Miami. Fla.; MVP Banditos; Miami); No. 5 right-hander/outfielder Nate Wohlgemuth (Owasso, Okla.; Oklahoma Fuel; uncommitted); No. 6 left-hander/first baseman Liam Norris (Cary, N.C.; Team Elite Prime; uncommitted); No. 7 outfielder/third baseman Brandon Fields (Orlando, Fla.; Chet Lemon’s Juice; uncommitted) and No. 9 outfielder/right-hander Josh Shuler (Suwanee, Ga.; Georgia Jackets; uncommitted).

No. 19 right-hander/utility Cayden Wallace (Greenbriar, Ark.; Rawlings Arkansas Prospects 15’s, uncommitted) and No. 20 catcher/third baseman Dylan Crews (Longwood, Fla., Scorpions 2019 Prime, uncommitted) will also be performing. Mederos, Wohlgemuth, Norris, Shuler and Crews were all selected to take part in last year’s inaugural PG 14u Select Baseball Festival at jetBlue Park.

The relatively short history of the PG Jr. National Showcase is already a rich one. Twenty-seven of its former participants have made their big-league debuts, including the Nationals’ Bryce Harper (2008 Jr. National), who was the overall No. 1 pick in the 2010 MLB June Amateur Draft, the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year and the 2015 NL Most Valuable Player.

Other notables on the PG Jr. National list of current big-leaguers are the Rockies’ Nolan Arenado, the Cubs’ Addison Russell, the Astros’ Lance McCullers Jr., the Indians’ Francisco Lindor, the Rangers’ Joey Gallo, the Pirates Josh Bell and Dodgers’ Joc Pederson.

Forty-two event alumni went on to become either first-round or first-round compensation picks and 346 have been drafted overall. More than 1,225 prospects have made college commitments, including at least 84 who will be at next week’s 2017 PG Jr. National.

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...
