Despite their record of 1-10-1, Southworth Navy has been pretty successful at the plate this season. Their team average ranks 9th in the 17 team field, which indicates a possible run in this tournament. Tyler Palmer is the undeniable leader on this team, hitting .500 on the season driving in a team high 17 runs.

 Dalton Delay 73 24 4 0 4 .329 235 60.5 79.1

PG Black is a team that many expected to have a better run this year, however, they just haven't been able to put it all together so far. Clark Younggreen is playing up a division and is the team's leader in hits. Dalton Delay has probably been the most consistent performer, however, and is hitting .329. He doesn't have a high velo, but he has a knack for getting base hits.

PG Navy bullied it's way to the Facility chmapionship through a balanced attack. Andrue Henry has probably been the most impressive of everyone on this team, crushing a league leading 8 HR's on the season. Henryis also second in avg velo and max velo, trailing only Andrew Killingsworth, the Nation's #205 ranked player.

Dothan Baseball Club (Kirkland Sports Performance) makes it's return to the PGNIL after winning a National Title in 2015. Dothan Grey, in particular had a rough season but has shown signs of promise while hitting for a team average of .379. This team is another that may make a surprise run if they can get some timely hits. The team is very balanced and there really isn't a  weakspot in the lineup. This #2/#15 game may be closer than some think.

Averagre-wise, Sothworth Red is the 2nd best team in the country, hitting .464 as a team. They are led by two of the best in the country, Trey Frahm (.570) who ranks 3rd in the country and Trevor Barajas (.545) ranking 4th. We expect Southworth Red to be a very tough out as they brough home the facility title at Southworth Hitting in Omaha, Nebraska.

Despite the 3-3-3 record, Players Edge Red was able to get the #4 overall seed by virtue of a Facility Championship and tiebreaker. Because of this, they face a more favorable draw than they could have in #13 seeded Dothan Red. Probably their best player, Ethan Young enters the postseason with a .325 average with the team lead in both runs (7) and RBI's (6).

Dothan Red comes into the playoffs with a record of 4-8 behind the leadership of Alabama commit Mekhian Jackson. Mekhian and his brother Jaeden have both put together fine seasons, hitting .449 and .423 respectively. This is another team that could be poised for a deep playoff run if they can find timely base hits. They are hitting .435 as a team, which ranks them 6th as a team in the league....much higher than their #13 overall seed.

The reigning National Champions at the 14U level and 3x repeating Champions at multiple levels, PG Red comes in as facility runner-ups at a very impressive 10-2 record. They are led by the country's #125 ranked player in the class of 2021 in Coy Sarsfield, who has hit for a .476 clip this season. Ty Carlson has been another that has looked really good this year as well, hitting .543 (5th in the Nation) and mashing a HR. If anyone wants to win a title, this 3X reigning Champion team will be someone they have to go through.

This could be one of those sneaky 12/5 matchups that could end up being the upset that rocks the playoffs. Dothan White has hit an incredible .459 this year, 4th in the league despite only having 5 wins. The 16U division looks to be as strong as it's ever been. Dothan White has 2 hitters hitting over .500 in Lance Levine and Anthony Anderson, bothing hitting .512 and tied for 9th Nationally. If PG Red wants to bring home another title, they have to come to play against this #12 seed.

If you want to talk about consistancy and similarities, this is the team to do it. Ripa, Protaskey and Griese have been some of the main cogs of this team and their #'s are all eerily similar. Avg velo is so similar that it only differs by .1 mph between the 3 of them. They have all also hit for a similar average, ranging just 34 percentage points between the 3 of them. As a full team, they are hitting .463, which ranks 3rd Nationally. This will be a very difficult out for the #6 seed Dothan Blue.

As a group, they are hitting .390 and look to find some success again this weekend against #10 Wayne Finest out of New Jersey.

In order to keep their season alive, however, they will need to find a way to score more runs. They are now averaging less than a run per game. With some timely hitting, Wayne Finest could win a game or two.

Southworth Purple has had a great year, going 8-4 and winning 4 straight. They are led by Tyler Vanderwerken, who is hitting .523 on the year, good fpr 7th Nationally. They also get a good bump of power from Ethan Hergert, who has blasted 2 HR's on the year.

Dothan Orange enters the playoffs sitting at an even .500. They are winners of their last 2 games and look to extend their winning streak into the playoffs. Like many of the Dothan teams, they have a very solid core of players and all are dangerous with the bat. They have only scored 31 runs this year, averaging about 2.5 runs per game. If they are hoping to make a run, they will need to get more timely hitting and score more runs.

The only team with a bye in the 16U division is Facility Champion Dothan Black out of Dothan Baseball Club in Dothan, Alabama. This team is absolutely loaded with all hitters above or near .500. They have arguably the best player in the league in Jake Killingsworth (1st in both velo catagories, batting average and RBI's) and they have shown they can put up a lot of runs, averaging over 11 runs per game. They have scored 38 runs more than any nearest competitor (98, Southworth Red) and stout a team average of .501. These guys look to be the team to beat!

It’s a true two-way projection at this stage, while he has the size in the 6-foot-3 long and loose frame, the strength will continue to add on to the 175-pound stature. While he only had two extra-base hits (triple, home run), the bat-to-ball skills were the calling card, and...

Ridge Whitfield (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot, 158 pounds with an athletic build that should allow him to maintain his mobility and quick-twitch actions as he continues to develop. He bats and throws left-handed. Whitfield locates his fastball to both sides of the plate, mixes his pitches effectively, and keeps hitters off balance. He competes on every pitch and doesn’t back down in big situations. Whitfield threw 5.1 innings, allowing three hits, one earned run, and no walks while striking out three on 75 pitches (58% strikes). He attacked the zone with a fastball that sat 73 mph and topped out at 78 mph, mixing in a 67 mph breaking ball and a 68-70 mph changeup to keep hitters off balance.

Jake Karpell (2030, Holmdel, NJ) got on the barrel a couple times in game five and totaled three rbis. Started his production with a single then later on hammered a heater down the right field and flew around the bases for a three run inside the park home run. Keeps the hands inside at contact really well and got the head around on the homer. Runs well and can hit it around the yard in the approach.  Luke Sauer (2030 C, FL)  put his hit tool on display with a well-struck double, continuing to show why he is regarded as one of the top catchers in the class. Owns a big frame with present physicality and does a good job keeping the hands connected throughout the swing. The barrel works efficiently through the zone and there is a solid offensive foundation present. Currently ranked as the No. 66 catcher nationally.  Gavin Politz (2030 OF, FL) continued a strong tournament...

Connor Ashley (‘29, FL) has struck out six over six no hit innings thus far. Got the FB up to 87 w/ feel for a sharp two-plane slider. #PGWS @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/M7mEmTH8pk — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 12, 2026 Connor Ashley (’29, Minneola, FL) was stellar on Sunday, striking out seven in a seven inning no hitter. He operates from a medium-to-large right-handed frame with length, room to fill, and lower half strength. Ashley works exclusively from the stretch, starting at the belt before working into a higher compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a long arm action. He releases from a high three-quarters slot, with the fastball jumping from the hand up to 87. Ashley mixed in a sharp 11-5 breaking ball with depth and late bite, a true swing-and-miss offering.  Matthew Hernandez (’29, Miami Lakes, FL) has posted strong numbers on both...

Coppy's Corner: July 14 Summer Edition

John Coppolella

The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it.    Player of the Week: Carter White – Falmouth Commodores  Talk about making a great first impression! White introduced himself in a very loud and boisterous way this past week by going 9-17 (.529 AVG) with 6 RBI...
