2018 16u PG Tournament All-American Team

The 16u/2020 age group from this past calendar year is on deck heading into 2019 and we look back to see who some of the top performers were from PG core events. The 2020 class will be watched heavily heading into the next year as they will be the next eligible class to be drafted after the 2019 MLB Draft. Fifteen players repeat from last year’s list including Roberto Moya, Jordan Walker, Enrique Bradfield, Trejyn Fletcher, Cj Kayfus, Brody Drost, Trey Gibson, Patrick Holloman, Ryan Hagenow, Briar Stinson, Dylan Crews, Ben Vespi, Luke Wagner, Francisco Hernandez and Masyn Winn.

There were 246 combined All-Tournament Team selections throughout the first and second teams, and that includes a bevy of MVP/MV-Pitcher awards bestowed upon the members of each squad. Some highlights include Kevin Parada as the only multiple individual award winner, claiming the co-MVP at the WWBA World Championship and MVP at the Fall Underclass National Championship. Other notable awards include Trejyn Fletcher as the MVP of the 16u WWBA National Championship, Brody Drost as the MVP of the 15u WWBA National Championship, Daniel Garcia as the MVP of the 16u BCS National Championship, Will Sanders as the MV-Pitcher of the 16u Underclass World Championship, Zac Veen as the MVP of the Underclass World Championship, and Blake Money and Grayson Moore as co-Most Valuable Pitchers of the 16u PG World Series.

Parada was named the Player of the Year after excelling nearly every time he stepped on the field. The California native and Georgia Tech commit launched five home runs in 111 at-bats, which included an outstanding performance in Jupiter. The Pitcher of the Year was Trey Gibson and the Liberty recruit was virtually unhittable this season. Gibson finished with a 0.70 ERA to go with a miniscule WHIP of 0.573 and averaged over 10 strikeouts per seven innings.

Player of the Year: Kevin Parada, GBG Marucci
Pitcher of the Year: Trey Gibson, Richmond Braves

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...

His fastball averaged nearly 96 mph throughout his time on the Cape, pairing the...

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...
