Final Four set for 13u Super25

Photo: Ryan Mullock (Perfect Game)

SANFORD, Fla. – The field for the 13u Super25 National Championships could stand up as the most competitive of any age group this summer with 16 states represented and one from the Dominican Republic making up the 36 teams. Upon pool play action being completed on Monday, eight teams marched on to the quarterfinals and all four games featured wild action that left four worthy semifinalists standing above the rest.

The first semifinalist made it look the easiest of anyone as FTB Resmondo only needed 4 ½ innings to defeat Kangaroo Court Roos National 8-0 to remain unbeaten heading into Tuesday’s final day of play.



FTB was immediately staked to a 3-0 lead in the first inning as Jayce Blalock (2022, Grantville, Ga.) came to the plate with two on and two out and blasted his second home run of the tournament to give starter Michael Castro (2023, West Palm Beach, Fla.) a lead to work with. Castro was stingy against a Roos offense that had entered the game scoring 45 runs in their five pool play matchups as he cruised through five innings while allowing four hits and striking out three.

Blalock added an RBI triple in the third inning to give him four RBI for the game and Manuel Beltre (2022, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) finished 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. FTB will be a tough offense to hold off on Tuesday in the semifinals.

FTB will take on the Bell Ringers at 9:00 a.m., a team that had to go into extra innings to earn their spot in the Final Four after going seven innings with Cincinnati Fury Elite knotted up at one.

Fury starter Dakota Secrest (2023, Lucasville, Ohio), and opponent Colin Simmons (2022, Glen Mills, Pa.), each allowed a run in the third inning, but were both outstanding. Secrest allowed only two hits through seven innings while Simmons was one better allowing just one.

Extra innings created a situation that gave each team a shot at breaking through with the bases loaded and one out and it was the Bell Ringers who had the first crack at jumping out in front.

With Secrest still on the mound for the Fury, Mike Anderson (2022, Haverton, Pa.) stepped to the plate, and on a check swing, he dropped in a single into right-center field to knock home two runs to put the Ringers ahead 3-1. It did not stay that way long as Justin Stupka (2023, New Cumberland, Pa.) lined an RBI single to center to make it a 4-1 lead. That hit knocked Secrest out of the game as the righthander finished with eight strikeouts for the game.

Simmons also started the bottom of the eighth inning on the mound with his pitch count low enough, and despite walking in a run with two outs, he was able to seal the victory with a pop out in foul territory to third. He finished with four strikeouts and threw 96 pitches to earn a well-deserved victory to send his team to the semifinals.

On the opposite side of the bracket, the Motor City Hit Dogs received a fine effort from Chase Goddard (2023, Ball Ground, Ga.) and Nolan Schubart (2023, Durand, Mich.) on the mound as the duo combined to strike out 13 hitters and allow just three hits to help defeat NOCA Select 4-2 to move on to the semifinals.

The Hit Dogs entered the quarterfinals as one of four teams without a loss and jumped ahead of the Select in the second inning as Schubart lined a triple to right and came in to score on a Sebastian Jaimes (2023, Lincoln Park, Mich.) RBI double to right.

In the third, the Hit Dogs went ahead 3-0 on a Blake Grimmer (2023, Spring Lake, Mich.) two-run single to right field.

Goddard started on the hill for the Hit Dogs and was removed after getting one out in the fourth before Schubart entered with the bases loaded. With two outs, Ryan Porche (2022, River Ridge, La.) launched a long fly to center that bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double to draw the Select to within a run at 3-2 before Schubart escaped further damage to hold the Hit Dog lead.

The Hit Dogs tacked on a run in the bottom of the fourth as Ryan Mooney (2023, Rochester Hills, Mich.) drew a leadoff walk, stole second and third and came home on Goddard’s sacrifice fly to center as they gave Schubart a two-run advantage that he would not relinquish.

After Goddard struck out seven in his 3 2/3 innings of work, Schubart struck out six and allowed only one hit in his 3 1/3 innings to close out the Select and advance the Hit Dogs to Tuesday’s semifinals.

The Hit Dogs will play Mid Atlantic Show-Rucci, who had to contend with the previously unbeaten Scorpions North-Nugent in a battle of the top two teams from Pool C. The Show got the better of the teams’ second meeting with a convincing 9-2 victory.

Several standouts made impacts for the Show in the victory, but it started with a strong pitching performance from Ryan Mullock (2022, Moorestown, N.J.) who worked into the sixth inning and also contributed a pair of doubles and an RBI at the plate.

Mullock got the scoring started for the Show in the second inning with his first double of the game, a liner into the right-center field gap. He would score on a groundout to short as they forged ahead 2-0.

In the third, the Show tacked on two more runs as Xavier Massey (2022, Audubon, N.J.) lined a one-out triple into left-center and scored on a single to right from Nathan Taylor (2024, Mickleton, N.J.). After Taylor swiped second with two outs, Winston Yates (2023, Moorestown, N.J.) drove him home on a single to left to make it a 4-0 Show lead.

The Scorpions drew a run closer in the fourth as Zachary Zorbo (2023, Guyton, Ga.) doubled to left to make it a 4-1 game. However, in the fifth Yates drove in a pair with a double to right, and in the sixth, Isaiah Pinkney (2022, Clayton, N.J.) put the game out of reach with a two-run homer to left as the Show would see the game out to advance to Tuesday’s semifinals.

The morning semifinal matchups will take place at 9:00 a.m., with the winners meeting in the championship game, taking place at 11:15 a.m. at the Boombah Sports Complex.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats.
