Newcomer New Level Prep rolls to Underclass West MLK championship

GLENDALE, Ariz. – By the end of the day, it was the new kid on the block who ended up owning the block at the Perfect Game Underclass West MLK Championship.

No. 1-seeded New Level Prep put up six runs in the bottom of the first inning and had 11 on the board after four, and made that work in an 11-0, five-inning victory over No. 2 Dykstra Baseball 2021 in Monday afternoon’s championship game, played on the White Sox side of the Camelback Ranch spring training complex.

New Level Prep, based in Puyallup, Wash., finished 6-0-0 in its maiden Perfect Game tournament voyage. Dykstra Baseball, with its base of operations in Menifee, Calif., wound-up 5-1-0. The Preps came here with a roster full of prospects from the classes of 2020 and 2021 and all from the state of Washington.

“It’s been absolutely unbelievable,” New Level Prep head coach Randy Anderson said postgame, “Honestly, we had every bit of belief in these guys. Everyone just kind of dismisses the Northwest, and we said we’re going to come down here and represent New Level and show them what we’re all about. This is just a gritty, gritty bunch of dudes, man.”

The Prep’s Jacob Yang led off the bottom of the first with a groundball single but the next two batters promptly lined-out and flew out to right field. At that point, the beleaguered Dykstra pitching staff fell on hard times, walking the next six batters, which resulted in four runs. New Level batted around and soon Yang was at the plate again; he reached on an error, which pushed two more runs across.

Yang finished with a pair of singles, two RBI and two runs scored to lead New Level Prep; Zach Sharp tripled and also drove in two and scored two. 2020 right-hander Kyler Johnson started and worked 4 1/3 shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out six without a walk.

Dykstra Baseball 2021 totaled five hits; Ian Halverson doubled and singled and Andruw Householder contributed a pair of singles.

New Level’s Antonio Guerrerro, a 2021 third baseman from Fife, Wash., was 12-for-21 (.571) with a pair of doubles, a home run and three RBI and was named the Most Valuable Player. Dykstra 2020 right-hander Carson Hamro, a U. of San Diego commit from Vista, Calif., went 2-0 in 6 1/3 innings of work without giving up an earned run on seven hits while striking out 12, and was named the MV Pitcher.

New Level Prep earned the No. 1 seed by outscoring its three pool-play opponents by a combined 17-2, and then beat the No. 8 Tri-State Arsenal Scout Team, 11-10, in the quarterfinals and No. 5 CCB Elite, 4-2, in the semis. Then it was off to the races in the title tilt.

“It really goes back about three weeks now,” Anderson said. “At practice we kind of picked up the pace a little bit and just kind of went from there. We came in real confident and it worked out phenomenally. … We kind of wanted to put ourselves on the map and show (PG) we know how to play.”

Upperclass West MLK championship claimed by North East Baseball National

GLENDALE, Ariz. – North East Baseball National went into Monday’s championship game at the PG Upperclass West MLK Championship as the No. 1 seed after outscoring its three pool-play opponents by a combined 15-1.

It beat No. 8 GBG NW Marucci, 9-1, in a Monday morning quarterfinal contest and then stopped the No. 5 Minnesota Blizzard Elite Black, 3-1, in the semis. As the Nationals made their way to the Dodgers side of the Camelback Ranch spring training complex for the championship game, they undoubtedly had to feel pretty good about their station in life.

But there opponent in the finale was the talent-rich Sticks Baseball Academy, which was seeded No. 6 despite being regarded as one of the top outfits in the 34-team Upperclass field. The feeling around the complex was that this would be a dogfight, and no one was disappointed.

Both teams scored twice in their halves of the second inning, and it remained 2-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth. It was time for North East to take control.

Kyle Casper came through with a one-out, bases loaded single that pushed all three runners across the plate and North East Baseball National escaped Sticks Baseball Academy, 5-2, to claim the program’s second Upperclass West MLK Championship title in the last three years.

North East Baseball, a national program based in Hudson, Mass., finished 6-0-0 after winning three games on Monday. Sticks BA, an increasingly national program based in Little Rock, Ark., went home 5-1-0.

The North East Nationals scored their five runs on five hits, with Troy Schreffler coming through with a double and a single and Patrick Roche contributing with a double; Casper finished with four RBI.

North East 2021 right-hander Jack Cebert, 2019 lefty Jay Luikart and 2019 right-hander Caleb Thomason combined on a four-hitter and neither run allowed was earned; they struck-out nine and walked three.

The Sticks used five pitchers who combined to surrender four earned runs on five hits while walking 11. No matter how its sliced, diced or broken down, 11 free passes are difficult to overcome. All four of their hits were singles and Blayne Robinson had one of them and drove in a run.

The National’s Michael Campagna, a 2019 top-500 catcher/third baseman and UC Irvine signee from La Jolla, Calif., was named the MV Player after going 6-for-13 (.462) with a double, triple, home run and nine RBI. 2019 right-hander Jackson Haga, a Liberty signee from Bowling Green, Ky., was named the MV Pitcher after throwing five, two-hit shutout innings with 12 strikeouts.

NorCal Baseball 2022 Blue sits on top at Freshman West MLK

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Six teams advanced to the playoffs at the 24-team Freshman West MLK Championship, and because they allowed seven runs in their three pool-play victories, the NorCal Baseball 2022 Blue just snuck-in as the No. 5 seed.

That meant that the 2022 Blue had to play in what amounted to a “play-in” game Sunday night along with the Nos. 3, 4 and 6 seeds to earn a spot in Monday’s semifinals against top-seeded Sticks Baseball Academy. NorCal rose to the challenge and beat No. 4 Pacific Northwest Regional Baseball Freshman Navy, 10-0, and lived to play another day.

“You know what that one extra game did for us? It got our bats hot; we really started rolling after that,” NorCal Baseball founder and erstwhile head coach Rob Bruno told PG Monday. “We didn’t feel like we were the number-five seed – we felt like we were the best team, to be honest with you.”

The NorCal 2022 Blue not only got past Sticks BA in the semis but it also topped the No. 2 Trosky National Team, 8-4, in the championship game and took home the Freshman West MLK title Monday afternoon at the Camelback Ranch spring training complex.

NorCal scored its eight runs on five hits while also taking advantage of the six walks it was issued. It led 5-2 after three innings, 5-3 after four and 8-4 after five, which is the way it ended.

All five of the NorCal 2022 Blue’s hits were singles, and Wyatt King had two of them, Raoul Fabian, Malcolm Moore, Jaron Nevarez and Max Ortega drove in one run apiece; only three of NorCal’s eight runs were earned. 2022 left-hander William Wentworth gave up two earned runs on two hits and struck-out four in six innings of work; NorCal committed six errors. Trosky National collected just two hits, singles from  Zachary Yorke and Ricky Rodenberg; the latter also drove in a run.

NorCal 2022 outfielder Robby Snelling from Reno, Nev., went 5-for-9 (.556) with a home run, three RBI and a .636 on-base percentage and was named the MVP. Trosky National 2022 right-hander Victor Heredia Jr. from Santa Ynez, Calif., went 2-0 in over 6 1/3 innings in two appearances without allowing an earned run on one hits while striking out 12 and walking one and was named the MV Pitcher.

Bruno thought his team played an “unbelievable” game Monday morning when it got by No. 1-seeded Sticks Baseball Academy 1-0 in a semifinals. NorCal pitchers Neverez, Caden Thompson and Wentworth combined on the three-hit shutout, striking out eight and walking four.

“I have so much respect for coach (Chase) Brewster and what they do, it was a pleasure playing them,” Bruno said. “Whether we win or lose, it’s OK, because when you play programs like that … We had Tri-State Arsenal here, another highlight program; all these great programs, it was fantastic.”

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

Hudson December (2027, Woodland Hills, Calif.) showed flashes of his upside despite a somewhat uneven three-inning outing. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-hander struck out three while working through a couple of tough jams, though his command was inconsistent at times. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph on a pair of occasions and generally sat in the 83–85 range. He mixed in an upper-70s slider with varying shape and execution where it was most effective when thrown with proper intent, showing shorter, tighter depth. He also flashed a changeup against a few left-handed hitters. Mechanically, there’s a blend of positives and areas for development. He incorporates his lower half fairly well and moves down the mound with some pace and intent. The arm is quick, though it can be late getting up at times, and his taller finish limits full torso extension through release. With...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 25

Nick Herfordt

Every preseason, analysts and voters pour enormous effort into ranking the small college baseball landscape — poring over returning rosters, transfer additions, coaching changes, and historical trends to assemble the most accurate picture they can of who will be contending when the postseason arrives. And most years, they get it largely right. But the nature of college baseball, with its massive rosters, unpredictable development arcs, and ever-churning transfer portal, guarantees that a handful of genuinely elite programs will slip through the cracks every spring. A team loses too many seniors. A key transfer hasn’t yet suited up. A new coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to prove itself. The voters see the question marks and leave the blank space, and then the season begins and the blank space starts filling itself in — loudly. As the 2026 season heads into its...

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game. In the middle of it all, Quinton Coats, is on pace for a historic season both within the program and on a national level. The 6-3/225 infielder from Olathe, KS has been launching home runs at a record pace and opponents seem to be powerless to stop his onslaught. With incredible strength in his hands, Coats creates easy loft and in 5 road games last week he collected 9 hits in 20 at-bats, with 4 home runs, 9 runs scored, and he drove in a total of 9 runs as well. As for his pursuit of history, the modern day BBCOR bat standard single season home run record is 34, set back in...

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....
