Chain Gang’s perfect weekend ends with Freshman crown

MARIETTA, Ga. – After falling in the semifinal at the 2019 PG Freshman Fall Season Opener two weeks ago, Chain Gang 15u National got back to their winning ways this weekend. On Sunday they captured the PG Elite Freshman Championship crown outscoring South Charlotte Braves 15u Oliver 10-2 at Aviation Park in Marietta.

Chain Gang was able to keep the South Charlotte Braves off the board in the bottom of the first and that was all the boost they would need. They put up three in their half of the first, two in the second and three more in the third to jump out to an 8-1 lead in the early going.

South Charlotte Braves 15u Oliver would add a run in the fourth, but to no avail as they wouldn’t be able to stop the strong offensive surge of Chain Gang 15u National who would add two more in the bottom of the fifth to complete the mercy-ruled victory.

The top of the order for Chain Gang 15u National crossed the plate a total of seven times, with leadoff hitter, and tournament MVP, William Hampton going 1-for-2 in the championship game, scoring three times. Dylan Lewis and Josh Gates scored twice each.

In addition to pitching his club to the title game with a 4 1/3-inning, seven strikeout performance in the semifinal Sunday morning at Kell High School, Hampton also led the charge from the leadoff spot all weekend hitting .545 with three singles and three doubles, four walks, six runs scored and an RBI. Hampton was 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in addition to his three runs scored in the championship bout which would help him take home tournament MVP honors.

River North took home the MV-Pitcher award thanks to his six-inning, 11-strikeout performance Friday night during pool play.

Chain Gang 15u National outscored opponents 23-7, continuing their already impressive start to the fall tournament season.

643 DP wins thriller to take Underclass title

MARIETTA, Ga. – 643 DP Sterling/Mang entered the playoffs at the PG Elite Underclass Championship as the No. 3 seed, out-scoring their two pool play opponents 20-2. They would eventually remain unbeaten, but it took three hard-fought baseball games to come out on top. In those three playoff games Sunday, 643 won by a combined four runs, with two of those games being one-run games, finishing things off with an eventual 6-5 victory over Team Elite 2021 Black in the championship game.

The championship game ended up going 11 innings of thrilling baseball. The game was tied 2-2 going into the seventh and would go into extra innings. After no runs scored in innings 6-9, the game erupted in the 10th. Three runs were scored by each team as Team Elite 2021 Black’s Jalen Fulwood would go on to knock in three runs in the top of the 10thwith a double. At that point in time it appeared Team Elite 2021 Black had the game, and the event’s championship, wrapped up.

Little did they know 643 DP Sterling/Meng had an answer of their own. Will Tippett would go on to double and knock in two runs before 643 pushed in one more to tie the game up. The game would go on to the 11thtied 5-5. Team Elite was unable to scored in the top of the 11th and 643 DP Sterling/Mang pushed across the winning, walk-off run on a walk to be named the 2019 PG Elite Underclass Champions.

During the semifinals Carter Davies got the call for 643 and would go on to toss 4 1/3 innings of brilliant baseball. He struck out four batters while only giving up only two hits. Offensively, 643 was led by Andruw Jones, who knocked in what turned out to be the winning run as he hammered a double into the gap.

In quarterfinal action Trent Ringer got the call for the Dirtbags and he provided a complete seven-inning game while striking out seven batters and only giving up three hits in a 2-0 win over Team Elite 2021 White. Even more impressively, he did not walk a single batter as he picked up the win to help push his team deeper into the playoffs and was named the Most Valuable Pitcher as a result of his performance.

Everett Cooper proved to be a bright spot for Team Elite 2021 Black earning event MVP honors. Cooper had a very impressive weekend batting over .530 with seven runs scored, six RBI, and seven stolen bases in just six games played.

Dirtbags emerge as Upperclass champs

MARIETTA, Ga. – The Dirtbags, who entered the playoffs undefeated but only as the No. 4 seed, would ultimately go on to win the 2019 PG Elite Upperclass Championship on Sunday. They won three games in a row in bracket play in order to do so, capping things off with an 8-2 win over Team Elite 2020 Black in the title game.

Ben Sieracki got the start for the Dirtbags I the championship game and picked up the win. He went five innings and racked up three stirkeouts as the Elon commit pushed his team to the trophy.

Garret Chandler went 2-for-3 with a couple doubles as he knocked in a run and scored one himself. Jack Hicks also had a multiple hit game as he went 3-for-4, scoring a run and driving one in. Josh Moylan would be a key point on the offensive side of the ball as he hammered baseballs all weekend including a towering shot over the center field fence.

The Dirtbags jumped on Team Elite early scoring two in the second inning and another in the third while Team Elite answered back scoring two themselves in between. The game would go into the seventh inning as just a one-run ball game before the Dirtbags scored five runs in the top of the seventh, putting the game out of reach.

During the semifinals, the Dirtbags took on the No. 1 seed East Cobb Prime 17u Zilleox. In stepped one Noah Overton who pitched a gem. The lefthanded uncommitted pitcher got it going early, going on to strike out seven batters in his six innings pitched as he ran his fastball up to 90 mph early in his start. He would eventually push them to a tight 4-3 win and into the championship game.

Moylan, an East Carolina commit currently ranked 114th overall in the class of 2020, was named the event’s Most Valuable Player. He hit a double and a home run among his five total hits with three runs scored and five RBI for the 5-0 Dirtbags.

Pitching for Team Elite, another highly-ranked prospect, Nate Wohlgemuth, was named Most Valuble Pitcher after a dominant pool play performance on Saturday. The Arkansas commit struck out 12 in 4 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit and a pair of walks in an eventual 5-0 win to open the tournament.

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....

Perfect Game Staff

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. Excellent athlete that will stick at a premium spot. #LaTech commit.#WWBAEast pic.twitter.com/xeintVTMil — PG Deep South (@PG_DeepSouth) June 12, 2026 Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) The Louisiana Tech commit just does not stop hitting.

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.
