17u PG Super25 National Championship

Day 2 of the Super25 National Championship promised to be as talented as the first day. With many great matchups completed at Boombah Sports Complex in Sanford, Fla., let’s take a look back at some of the talent that was on display.

The 8:15 a.m. game on field A2 was a talent filled game with a matchup between ChandlerWorld 2019 and Stars Baseball 17u Red. Stars Baseball 17u Red started off the game with righthanded pitcher Hunter Bell (2019, Centreville, Va.) on the bump. Bell looks the part at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds and he did a great job of attacking the zone with the fastball. His fastball sat at 81-86 and topped out at 87 mph, and he also mixed in an effective slider that kept hitters off balance.

Nick Burch (2019, Hollywood, Md.) led the way offensively for the Stars, ending the game at 3-for-3 with two runs scored as well as two RBIs. He was able to showcase his ability to hit the ball to all fields. Burch has a swing that will consistently put balls in play with a level bat path and a barrel that stays in the zone for a long time. After the 2019 season, Burch will play his college ball at Navy.

Ben Williamson (2019, South Riding, Va.) also impressed at the plate. He was able to drive in three runs with a triple at the plate. Williamson showed impressive speed out of the box as well as a touch of power to the pull side.

ChandlerWorld 2019’s Miguel Larreal (2019, Orlando, Fla.) was more than good at shortstop. His soft hands and above average footwork made him a vacuum for ChandlerWorld. Larreal is a lefthanded hitter that possesses a great feel for the strike zone and an advance approach at the plate.

Carlos Guzman (2020, Winter Garden, Fla.) shows promise at the plate. With a slight uppercut bat path, Guzman has a pull-side approach at the plate. With some signs of power, watch out for Guzman going forward. He also is a great moving catcher with above average footwork.

First Move strolled out for the 10:15 a.m. time slot against TNXL Ducks, and for First Move Elliot Hayward (2019, Old Bridge, N.J.) had a good day at the plate, going 1-for-3. More impressively, Hayward showed his ability to hit the ball to all fields from the left side. He also showed a highly advanced approach at the plate with a short, compact swing and a level bat path.

Taj Muhammad (2020, Somerset, N.J.) proved to be a force at the plate for First Move. He went 1-for-3 with one home run. Muhammad was able to square the ball up two out of his three at-bats. He showed extreme power and quick hands as he was able to hit an 89 mph fastball over the left field fence. He had a downhill bat path which creates a lot of backspin off his bat.

Tyrell Brewer (2019, Orlando, Fla.) had a triple in Tuesday’s game against First Move. His speed out of the box was impressive to say the least. Brewer also showed athletic play in the middle infield. He has a plus arm from shortstop and above average range. Brewer is Committed to Florida State.

Hylan Hall (2019, Ocoee, Fla.) Impressed in a different way on Tuesday after impressing at the plate on Monday. Toeing the rubber, Hall showcased an explosive fastball which topped at 93 mph and sat 87-90. He also flashed a cutter at 86 and a developing curveball at 70.

Brandon Drapeau (2019, Mullica Hill, N.J.) went 2-for-2 on Tuesday with a home run and two RBIs for Mid-Atlantic Show – Kerr. His 6-foot-6, 225-pound frame has a knack for elevating the baseball. Drapeau has very quick hands, a longer swing and really looks to pull the ball. He does a great job of using his size to his advantage at the plate as well as defensively at first base. Drapeau is committed to St. Joseph’s.


14u PG Super25 National Championship

The 14u PG Super25 National Championship has shown some of the most impressive young talent from around the country. Here are a few of the standout names from the first two days.

Noah Kuhaneck (2021, Ludowici, Ga.) was impressive at the plate for the Game On Vipers. Kuhaneck went 2-for-3 with a double against the Huntington Patriots. He has a slight uppercut bat path and a pull mentality. Kuhaneck is a big kid at 6-foot, 225-pounds and is a wall behind the plate for the Vipers.

Titans Baseball 14’s Blue’s Will Fincher (2022, Marietta, Ga.) had a very advanced approach at the plate. Fincher was able to go 2-for-4 with a double on Tuesday. He has a 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame that projects well with room to fill. Fincher had above average speed on the basepaths and an advanced baseball IQ.

Riley Stanford (2022, Gainesville, Ga.) was back on the mound for the Georgia Bombers (Hill). Stanford showed his usual overpowering fastball and a 11-to-5 break to his curveball. His fastball topped out at 87, ranged from 81-86 and also mixed in a 69 mph curveball.

Nicolas Bronzini (2022, San Ramon, Calif.) is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefthanded pitcher that threw from Demons – 14u. Bronzini threw for 1 2/3 innings and showcased a fastball that reached 83 mph. He was able to get hitters out with only his fastball with excellent location and arm-side run, striking out five batters in total.  With a high three-quarters arm slot, he was able to be deceptive with just his fastball.

Jaron Nevarez (2022, San Ramon, Calif.) also showcased his lefthanded arm for the Demons – 14u team. Nevarez was able to change speeds well with his 82 mph fastball as well as a 70 mph curveball. He threw with a high three-quarters arm slot and had impressive arm-side run on the fastball.

Carson Applegate (2022, Columbus, N.J.) threw for Keystone Diamondbacks. Applegate showed great power on the mound for the Diamondbacks. His fastball topped at 86 and sat at 83 mph. Throwing exclusively from the stretch, his fastball had very good arm-side run. Applegate fielded his position well and was athletic bouncing off the mound. He threw 3 2/3 innings only allowing one run. At the plate, Applegate showed advanced bat speed and a keen eye.

Probably the most electric player in the 14u event for the first two days would be Lorenzo Carrier (2021, Bear, Del.). Carrier has a fastball that he ran up to 89 mph. to accompany the overpowering fastball, he also threw a curveball with 11-to-5 break that kept hitters off balance, and he was able to throw if for strikes when he needed it. Carrier, much like Applegate, was impressive at the plate as well. His long lanky body (6-foot-3, 170-pounds) makes him projectible at many positions. Carrier showed a short, inside-out swing with a level bat path and above average speed around the basepaths.
