14u PG Select Roster Reveal | 14u PG Select Festival Rosters

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The second edition of the 14u National Showcase brought out the top players across the country in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 classes to come together at the Spring Training home of the Boston Red Sox, jetBlue Park in Fort Myers.

As one of the top events in which top performers displayed their talents to the Perfect Game Staff, a total of 16 participants from the 14u Showcase were tabbed to be on the rosters for the upcoming 2018 14u PG Select Baseball Festival. The third edition of the 14u PG Select event takes place from August 30 culminating with the game to be played on September 2 at jetBlue Park.

This year’s 14u National Showcase was an invite-only event, with players being chosen to come to Southwest Florida based off of their efforts in regional showcases that occurred from March through May across six regions of the U.S. Other participants earned their way to the National Showcase due to their performances in select tournaments across the calendar year in WWBA, BCS and Super25 tournaments featuring top programs from around the country.

The 16 players that were selected to participate in the 14u PG Select Baseball Festival after attending the 14u PG National Showcase are as follows:

• Loreto Siniscalchi (2021, Burnaby, British Columbia)
• Riley Stanford (2022, Gainesville, Ga.)
• Armando Cruz (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic)
• Lucas Torres (2021, Cayey, Puerto Rico)
• Ryan Ward (2022, Coronado, Calif.)
• Sal Stewart (2022, Miami, Fla.)
• Renzo Gonzalez (2021, Carolina, Puerto Rico)
• Grant Hussey (2021, Parkersburg South, W.Va.)
• Andruw Jones (2022, Suwanee, Ga.)
• Calvert Clark (2022, Charlotte, N.C.)
• Dylan Lesko (2022, Buford, Ga.)
• Rylan Galvan (2022, Sinton, Texas)
• Rene Galvan (2022, Sinton, Texas)
• Manuel Beltre (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic)
• Elijah Green (2022, Windermere, Fla.)
• Cole Young (2022, Wexford, Pa.)

Perfect Game National Crosschecker Jheremy Brown felt that the introduction of the regional showcases that took place in the South (Tomball, Texas), Southeast (Emerson, Ga.), West (Compton, Calif.), Midwest (St. Charles, Ill.), Florida (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and the Northeast (Staten Island, N.Y.) provided better opportunites for players to get on the radar. In many cases those events provided Perfect Game with a first look at a prospect, and in others, allowed another look to examine the top 14u prospects across the country to earn a place in the 14u PG Select Baseball Festival in September.

“Implementing the 14u regional showcases with six across the country allowed us to segment kids according to their region and invite them to the National Showcase a couple months down the road,” Brown said. “By doing that, we first see these players and identify them to get to know a little bit about them and then see them down in Fort Myers and see that they took that jump that you hope which earns them an invite to the Festival.

“It’s an idea we definitely want to build on for next year because it’s a good starting block to put some names together and help fill the National Showcase and set the bar even higher next year for the Festival.”

Casting its reach across the country will bring in players from states and countries that will be represented for the first time at the Festival in 2018. Hussey and Blaise Grove will represent West Virginia; Lorenzo Carrier (2021, Bear, Del.) will represent Delaware; Aeden Finateri (2021, Watertown, Conn.) will represent Connecticut; Siniscalchi represents Canada for the first time and Andre Arthur (2022, Nassau, Bahamas) will represent the Bahamas at the Festival.

The final selections were announced by Perfect Game’s Darren Sutton on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM’s MLB Roundtrip late Sunday evening with the complete 44-man rosters being introduced. This year a new twist to the event will not pit the East against the West. Instead, the two teams will be under the guidance of two former big leaguers in former all-star pitchers Tom “Flash” Gordon and Scott Erickson. The two combined for 36 years of experience at the major league level and will undoubtedly provide guidance and wisdom for their respective teams in September.

With the success of the first two years of the 14u PG Select Baseball Festival producing multiple Division I commits, Brown touts this cast of players as potentially a better crop of talent in terms of physicality and velocity on the mound at the present time and in the years to come.

“When you look and watch these players, you have to remember that still only 14 years old and some of them aren’t even in high school yet,” Brown said. “The talent level keeps exceeding what you would think it would be at a 14-year old event. We had multiple guys in the mid- to upper-80s plus and some bats that you see that are pretty good and some that you say, it’s going to be really good as they develop.

“This year, we had college coaches in attendance which we didn’t really have last year and they’re able to follow up with them. They really liked what they saw and it allows them to build their bigger picture in what they want to ultimately recruit.”

Notable names that will be on the big stage come September include Andruw Jones, the son of five-time all-star and 10-time Gold Glove winner of the same name. Two sets of identical twins in the Galvan brothers, Rylan and Rene, and Tristan Smith (2022, Chesnee, S.C.) and Ashton Smith (2022, Chesnee, S.C.) will also play in the game. Ethan Anderson (2022, Virginia Beach, Va.) was the first player to commit to college from the class of 2022 (Virginia). Brady House (2021, Winder, Ga.) and Christian Little (2021, St. Louis, Mo.), who participated in last year’s 14u PG Select Baseball Festival, will be back for another go-around.

2025 Year in Review: PGAAC, ASG, Festivals

Jheremy Brown

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger

While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team. There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country. Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th. Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot. OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year. McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...

West Region High School Sleepers

Joey Cohen

Talking and debating sleeper prospects might be my favorite part of scouting. It’s where context, projection, and conviction matter most—whether it’s an underrated performer who keeps producing on the circuit, a raw but explosive athlete you can dream on, or an arm with starter traits that hasn’t quite made the stuff jump yet. These are the players who tend to separate evaluators, reward patience, and make the spring HS season really fascinating. Below are several West Region prospects outside the T100 who fit that mold and deserve serious attention as the spring unfolds. Jet Berry, Queen Creek HS, Arizona There’s a lot to like with Berry. He’s one of the more explosive, twitchy athletes in the country, and it shows consistently in all facets of his game. From a tools perspective his easy plus run and bat-to-ball ability stand out. He’s been a...
