FBH Angels slug way to 13u title

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Six runs in the first two innings gave the FBH Angels a cushion they would never relinquish as starter Adan Longoria (2023, Plant City, Fla.) fired a complete game and picked up two hits and an RBI as the Angels defeated the Gulf Coast Monarchs 10-4 for the WWBA 13u East Labor Day Classic Championship.

A title game matchup that pitted the two undefeated programs who emerged from the playoff bracket was a tilt that pitted the top scoring offense in the Monarchs (43 runs in four games) and the best pitching staff in the Angels (13 runs in four games) against one another. However, it was the Angels who jumped ahead early in the first as Branson Ashley (2023, Lakeland, Fla.) lined an RBI double to left to put the home side ahead 1-0.

The Angels weren’t done as they took advantage of a bases-loaded walk and an errant throw on a pickoff play to plate two more runs to give Longoria plenty of early run support to work with.

The Monarchs got on the board in the second as Jackson Geiger (2025, Naples, Fla.) doubled to left with one out and came in to score after he tagged up on a fly ball to center and the throw to third went awry to allow Geiger to sprint home.

FBH had an answer in the home half of the second as the top of the Angels order produced three more runs, thanks in large part to a two-out Monarch error that allowed a run to score. Anthony Palestrini (2023, Plant City, Fla.) and Longoria made the error hurt even more as they collected RBI singles to pad the FBH lead to 6-1.

The Monarchs loaded the bases with one out in the third and picked up a run in an unconventional manner as a flyout to center and the ensuing throw home to the plate resulted in a rundown that Ryder Woodson (2024, Naples, Fla.) ended up making contact with the FBH catcher that resulted in interference to bring the Monarchs a run closer at 6-2.

Andrew Williamson (2023, Oldsmar, Fla.) came up with a big hit for the Monarchs, launching a long double to right to bring home two more runs at 6-4.

Once again, the Angel offense had a reply in the bottom of the third as Colby Brewington (2023, Plant City, Fla.) knocked in a run with a bloop single to left to bump their lead to three.

Longoria stranded a pair of Monarch runners in the fourth, and was the beneficiary of more offense from his teammates as a three-run fifth that was highlighted by an RBI double from Andy Perez (2023, Orange City, Fla.) and an RBI single from Ashley put the Angels ahead 10-4.

In the sixth, the defensive play of the day took place as Angels shortstop Deven Gonzalez (2023, Plant City, Fla.) ranged far out into left field to snag a fly ball on the run. That play was in the midst of the final 10 batters of the game that Longoria would set down for the Angels, with the final three batters being retired on just three pitches in the seventh to wrap up the championship for FBH.

Palestrini was selected as the tournament’s MV-Player after batting .533 (8-for-15) with eight RBI in five games for the Angels.

For the runner-up Monarchs, Maddix Simpson (2023, Lehigh Acres, Fla.) was named MV-Pitcher for the event for his strong effort in the semifinals as he tossed five shutout innings with five strikeouts in a 9-1 victory over Jr’s Prospects.

Genesis Baseball rolls to Freshman championship

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Based on the number of runs that Genesis Baseball had put on the board in its two previous playoff games, it was easy to get the sense that it was just a matter of time before it broke loose in the championship game. That time arrived in the top of the sixth inning.

Tied with the FTB Rockets at 1-1 after five, the Genesis broke loose for six runs in the sixth and cruised to a 7-1 victory in the championship game of the PG Freshman WWBA East Memorial Day Classic, played in it is entirety under a light but steady rain at jetBlue Park.

“We trust our hitting,” Fort Lauderdale-based Genesis Baseball head coach Frank Pena told PG postgame. “Our fielding is incredible – our defense has been doing really well. We’ve had a little bit of pitching problem in some games, but overall we trust our defense and our bats.”

The Genesis (6-0-0) scored their six runs on seven hits with seven hitters collecting one single apiece; Joseph Tomonto drove in two runs and Edian Espinal, Ariel Antigua and Michael Benedict each drove in one.

The Jupiter-based FTB Rockets (5-1-0) scored their lone run in the bottom of the second after a hit batsman and two walks loaded the bases, and Jonathan Ricardo drove in the run on a fielder’s choice ground out. Raul Feliz singled twice for the Rockets and Matthew Davis doubled for the game’s only extra-base hit.

Genesis 2023 right-hander Chris Knier pitched five two-hit, scoreless innings in relief, striking out eight and walking three, to pick up the win. Knier, from Jensen Beach, Fla., pitched seven shutout, two-hit innings with 10 strikeouts and three walks in three appearances at the event and was named the Most Valuable Pitcher.

Tomonto, a freshman at American Heritage High School from Boca Raton, finished the tournament hitting .571 (8-for-14) with two doubles, six RBI and four stolen bases and was named the Most Valuable Player.

The Genesis reached the playoffs by outscoring its three pool-play opponents, 17-7, then whacked its three playoff foes by a combined 24-6. It’s a group that Coach Pena really likes.

“What’s great about this is that I had a great a team for about a year-and-a-half or two and they decided they were going to go seek greener pastures,” he said. “This is fresh, brand-new team that came in here and beat some real good teams.”

The Rockets’ outscored their pool-play opponents by a combined 29-6 and won their quarterfinal and semifinal games by a combined 14-1. Feliz enjoyed a very fine tournament, going 8-for-16 (.500) with three doubles and five RBI.

Banditos Prospects 2020, Gulfcoast Fury share Underclass crown

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Miami-based Banditos Prospects 2020 and the Fort Myers-based Gulfcoast Fury were declared co-champions at the PG Underclass WWBA East Labor Day Classic Monday afternoon after a heavy and sometimes driving rain storm forced the cancelation of the championship game at jetBlue Park.

Both teams went into the title game with unblemished 5-0-0 records. A pair of Banditos prospects earned MVP honors based on their performances in the games leading up to the championships.

Justin Chung, a 5-foot-10, 156-pound 2020 infielder from Coral Springs, Fla., earned Most Valuable Player recognition after batting 7-for-11 (.636) with two doubles, eight RBI and four stolen bases in five Banditos victories.

Daryl Carney, a 6-foot-1, 150-pound right-hander who is also from Coral Springs, pitched six, four-hit shutout innings with six strikeouts and two walks over two appearances. Carney was on the mound with the Banditos leading 2-0 in the third inning when the championship game was called.

Ostingers rallies for Upperclass title

FORT MYERS, Fla. – It only took one inning for Ostingers 18u to flip the script of the Upperclass Labor Day Championship, facing a 2-0 deficit through 4 1/2 innings of play and a zero in the hit column.Seven batters into the fifth inning, the Ostinger offense cashed in five runs on four hits to march past the South Florida Select 18u with a 5-2 victory at CenturyLink Sports Complex.

The two pool winners forged their way to the title game with semifinal victories early on Monday. Ostingers used five pitchers to work a combined two-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory over Rawlings Legends and the Select used a five-run sixth inning to turn their semifinal contest around with Knaje Guthrie (2020, Miramar, Fla.) driving in the go-ahead two-run single in a 7-5 victory over the Grizzlies.

In the second of the championship game Guthrie was in the middle of the action for the Select once again as he drew a one-out walk and advanced to second on an errant pickoff attempt. He moved over to third on a Carlos Gonzalez (2020, Weston, Fla.) single up the middle, but the throw through to the plate skittered by everyone, allowing Guthrie to scamper home. Gonzalez moved to third with two outs and was able to trot home as Adiel Melendez (2020, Hialeah, Fla.) beat out a grounder in the hole in between first and second to drive in a run and up the Select lead to 2-0.

Melendez was sharp on the mound for the Select as he breezed through four innings with little resistance from the Ostinger offense, issuing a leadoff walk but retiring the next 12 men in order.

With no hits on the board, Brock Wilken (2020, Valrico, Fla.) put an end to the no-hit bid as he drove a long double to left-center to lead off the fifth. After a throwing error and a walk loaded the bases, Melendez was lifted from the game and Gonzalez entered in relief, but he issued a free pass to Thad Zsold (2019, Valrico, Fla.) to force in a run. Gonzalez would then plunk Ahmad Pitts (2020, Valrico, Fla.) to force in a run and tie the game.

Adam Barros came in from the bullpen for the Select in the middle of the at-bat of Jackson Hobbs (2020, Brandon, Fla.). Hobbs would drop in a bloop single just inside the right field line to put Ostingers out in front 3-2.

Still with nobody out, Coleton Brogden (2020, Plant City, Fla.) lined a two-run single to right to put Ostingers ahead 5-2 and put his team six outs away from the championship.

Trevor Finan (2020, Lithia, Fla.) was called upon for Ostingers in the sixth and the righthander slammed the door shut on the Select by retiring all six hitters he faced, collecting three strikeouts along the way to send the Ostingers home with the big trophy.

Wilken was chosen as the tournament’s MV-Player after batting .467 (7-for-15) with a pair of doubles and four RBI in six games for the champions.

For the runner-ups, Jimmy Weick (2020, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) was selected as the MV-Pitcher thanks to a complete game shutout on Sunday against the SWFL Giants. Weick struck out four and scattered five hits in helping his team reach the championship final.

UBC West Scout Notes: Days 1-2
Steve Fiorindo

Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament.
