5-run 7th leads to Sophomore title for BigStix Gamers

ATLANTA – A five-run seventh inning for BigStix Gamers helped propel them to a 7-4 win in the championship game over SWA Storm at the 2019 WWBA Southeast Sophomore Labor Day Classic at Brook Run Field outside of Atlanta on Monday. The biggest hit was a two-run single to center field by leadoff hitter Devin Portee that plated the go-ahead, and deciding, run.

The five runs that scored were all unearned as BigStix Gamers made the most of three singles, two errors and a walk. Portee and his double-play partner, second baseman Nolan Silver, each had a pair of base hits as Silver also scored a pair of runs in the title-clinching victory.

SWA Storm led for most of the game, scoring three runs in the bottom of the second and a single tally in the sixth. BigStix did put up a pair of runs in the top of the fifth to put themselves within striking distance, and despite giving up three unearned runs, starter John MacDonald did a nice job on the mound, striking out five in five innings of work, allowing just the three unearned runs on three hits and a walk while pounding the strike zone with mid-70s fastballs.

Jayden Talik worked the final two frames, striking out a pair while allowing one unearned run on two hits and a pair of walks.

Ashton Essex was named the event MVP by hitting .412 (7-for-17) with a pair of doubles, one walk, four runs scored and six driven in. All six of his RBI came during his team’s four playoff matchups.

For the SWA Storm, Caden Colson received Most Valuable Pitcher honors. Colson came up big in the Storm’s first matchup against the BigStix Gamers during pool play, delivering four key, scoreless innings in relief, allowing just one hit while striking out four while picking up the win in a 8-4 victory.

Wow Factor dominates for Southeast Freshman title

ATLANTA – With the summer unwinding and football season kicking off, baseball is still being played at a high level across the country. The competitive play and high-level talent was evident at the WWBA Southeast Freshman Labor Day Classic where Wow Factor Scout Team secured the championship. They used a combination of solid pitching and timely hitting to go undefeated en route to take home the hardware with a 11-2 win over the Bullpen Braves on Monday.

In the championship game starting, Wow Factor Scout Team was down early by two runs before taking command of the game. Joshua Maharrey continued his hot streak as he knocked in three runs on a bases-clearing ground-rule double. On the very next pitch, Sam Thomas knocked him in with a single, and by then the flood gates had been opened.

Cooper Milford started on the mound for Wow Factor Baseball as he went on to strike out three batters in just two innings pitched. He also proved he could get it done in the box as he tripled to the right-center gap, knocking in a run to add to his team’s ever-growing lead. They ended up run-ruling both teams they faced on Monday, making them the unquestioned champions.

In their semifinal game Wow Factor Scout Team also pounded the baseball around the park as they beat East Cobb Prime 15u – Zilleox, 13-1. Maharrey got the party started early as he blasted a three-run bomb over the center field fence. He also went on to score another run. As a result, Maharrey was named the event's Most Valuable Player.

Wow Factor starter, and the event's Most Valuable Pitcher, Chris Smith filled up the strike zone as he struck out seven batters in 3 2/3 innings of no-hit baseball. He and Dean McCalla tossed a combined no-hitter through four innings. Smith pounded the strike zone working all four quadrants as he topped out at 87 mph showing plenty more in the tank helping to guide his team to the title game.

He hit almost .700 on the event with 7 of his 10 hits going for extra bases, while driving in 13, scoring 13 times himself, walking 8 times and no striking out in a single trip to the plate across 7 games. The blend of bat speed and pure strength, paired with his approach are that of someone who is much more mature, yet he’s doing it all at just 14 ½. He also jumped on the...

To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats.
