TBT Ballers Muscle Up 19 Runs in Title Game

SANFORD, Fla. – In what was a back-and-forth affair through the majority of the afternoon, the TBT Ballers eventually pulled away late against the Gulf Coast Monarchs to capture the PG 13u Florida Select Championship by a score of 19-10. The offense was loud in this one as the Ballers scored in every inning but one and totaled 20 hits on the afternoon en route to the championship victory.

Up and down the box score you can see the impressiveness of the at-bats that these kids took with eight out of 10 starters in the lineup recording at least three hits. Eventual MVP Alejandro Sardinas had a big day at the plate with three knocks, including a triple, and a team-high four RBI on the afternoon. What was perhaps most impressive was the approach of these hitters as the Ballers only recorded one offensive strikeout on the entire afternoon.

Danny Machado gave an inspired start on the mound, lasting 3 2/3 innings while giving up seven earned runs in the process. The bullpen was nails after Machado departed, as Elyjah Freeman and Luis Almeyda combined for two shutout innings before Nick Diaz came into the game. Diaz allowed three runs to score in the bottom half of the sixth but pitched a peerless seventh inning to close out the game.

One of the stronger performances leading up to the championship game was lefty Michael Torres who tossed a gem in the quarterfinals against Elite Squad. Torres dazzled with 5 2/3 innings of shutout baseball coupled with eleven strikeouts on the afternoon. He ran his fastball up to 78 mph and already has some impressive pitchability as Coach Alan Sharkey described.

“Torres is an electric lefty,” said Sharkey. “(He) throws all three pitches, changeup, curveball, fastball, for strikes. Pounds the zone in and away. At this level, you’re going to have a lot of success doing that. He pitches with intensity.”

The TBT Ballers entered this loaded tournament with the No. 3 ranking at the 13u level and No. 1 in the state of Florida. The Ballers did nothing to dissuade that lofty ranking as their potent offense worked wonders for them, especially in the playoffs. The offense coupled with the impressive pitching and overall defense makes for a very well-rounded squad that will be dangerous as the summer approached.

“All around, it was a team win,” said Coach Sharkey. “We brought some guys to help us out, and our solid core did their job. We swung the bat well in key situations. Honestly for us, it’s about getting better and helping these guys with their fundamentals and with respecting the game. We just want to work hard. Every one of these kids practices four or five times a week.”

Sardinas was named MVP after a great weekend of offensive performance where he batted .563 with an OPS of 1.424 that included two triples on the weekend. Gulf Coast’s Johnny King was named MV-Pitcher after a strong performance of his own where he tossed 4 2/3 innings of one-hit baseball while striking out four batters.

West Pines Cobras Sneak By North Broward Predators For 12u Title

Two runs in the top of the sixth inning gave the West Pines Cobras a 7-6 lead over the North Broward Predators, a score that they would go on to win by in the bottom half of the inning.

Rhyss Rojas started the inning with a double for West Pines, Anthony Sanchez followed with a double of his own to score Rojas, and Julius Rodriguez singled to score Sanchez to take the lead for good.

Jesiah Andrade was named the MVP of the tournament for North Broward. Andrade took West Pines deep in the championship game and walked twice in the contest as well to keep his team in the game.

Miguel Delgado put together a great performance on the mound for West Pines in the team’s semifinal game, tossing 4 2/3 innings and striking out three while only allowing one run in a 3-1 win over Florida Xtreme. Delgado was named the MVPitcher of the tournament for his effort.

Tampa Elite Crowned in 11u

Three runs in the first inning and five in both the third and fifth were more than enough for Tampa Elite to earn a championship in the 11u division of the 2020 PG Florida Select Championship.

Tampa Elite had five hitters with multiple base hits in the championship game, including Christian Ramos Jr, who was named the MVP of the tournament. Ramos had two hits and four RBI in the championship game, while walking once as well.

Christian Randall was the MVPitcher of the tournament, after throwing a six-inning complete game for Tampa Elite again 5 Star Tigers 11u Alvelo on Saturday. Randal struck out nine and allowed just two runs on three hits.

Diamond Elite-Wilson Takes Care Of Business in 10u Division

Diamond Elite-Wilson left no doubt on Sunday in the 10u age division of the 2020 PG Florida Select Championship, scoring one run in the first and nine in the second to wrap up a 10-2, run-rule victory over the Tampa Phenoms.

Tampa scored its two runs to take a 2-1 lead after an inning and a half, but the nine-run response in the bottom of the inning was more than enough for Diamond Elite-Wilson to take the weekend crown.

Christian (Kiki) Mejias had a hit and three RBI in the championship game for Diamond Elite-Wilson. It was the end to a great tournament for Mejias, who was named the MVP of the tournament.

Mason Stout was a big reason why Diamond Elite-Wilson got to the championship game, tossing four innings in the semifinal matchup against PBA Legends, striking out six and allowing just one run.

Shock Prime 9u Outlasts Cobras

Clean innings were hard to come by in the championship game of the 9u age division at the 2020 PG Florida Select Championship.

Shock Prime 9u ended up with a 10-8 victory over Cobras, while scoring at least one run each of the five times they came to bat.

Ronald 'Trey' James III got things started for Shock Prime in the bottom of the first inning, leading it off with a single and then stealing both second and third base before coming around to score on a wild pitch.

James III had two hits in the game.

Cruz Guzman, who hit right behind James III in the Shock Prime lineup, was named the MVP of the tournament. Guzman had a double, an RBI, and two walks in the championship game, while also throwing 1 2/3 innings on the mound.

Alec Gallardo was named the MVPitcher of the event. Gallardo shut out Heavy Hitters Baseball Club through two innings on Saturday, allowing his team to end the game early due to a 15-0 run-rule victory.

‘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...

Grady Emerson (‘26 TX) laces this ball to right for a walk off single. Clean lefty stroke. Looks the part both sides of the ball. Checks all the boxes. Will be scouted heavily this Spring. #PGHS #HookEm commit. #PGDraft pic.twitter.com/wXvdHdgqME — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) February 6, 2026 Grady Emerson (2026, Argyle, Texas) had a strong showing throughout the opening week of high school baseball out here in Texas. Works good at-bats and is always a tough out in general. Makes all the plays at short and just has the look of a future big leaguer. He does all the little things right. Bat to ball will play at a high level and there is still a lot more power to project on here. There is a reason why Emerson is one of, if not the most highly coveted high school prospect in the 2026 class and it’s easy to see why. Currently committed to Texas, but has the potential to...

Every spring, Division III baseball begins as a wide-open map. Cold mornings turn into long bus rides, non-conference gauntlets test resolve, and by the time the dust settles, only a few teams are still standing with a clear line to the NCAA Division III baseball tournament. The 2026 Perfect Game Division III Baseball Rankings capture that moment before the stretch run, highlighting the programs that have separated themselves through depth, durability, and an ability to win in a variety of ways. These eight teams are not simply piling up wins; they are shaping identities built to survive the grind and thrive when the margins narrow.  The destination is familiar, even if the journey never is. Once again, the final chapter will be written at Classic Park, where timing, composure, and roster balance matter as much as raw talent. The teams ranked here enter 2026 with more than ambition....

Just a couple of weeks into the 2026 season, several teams have already hit the ground running, namely Walters State, Florida Southwestern, Chipola, Johnson County, Florence-Darlington, and Pearl River. A little further down the rankings, we’ve seen some significant movement. The College of Southern Nevada surged up several spots after a strong 12-2 start, while Gaston has turned heads with an unblemished 14-0 record. We also welcome a few new additions in the 20s: Fresno City and Panola. Neither program debuted inside our top 50, but both have certainly earned their place in this week’s rankings. We’re looking forward to another exciting week of early spring baseball, as teams across the country continue to find their rhythm before conference play begins. Rk.

OHIO VALLEY REGION (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH) The Ohio Valley Region has a healthy amount of top-level talent, as it features five Perfect Game All-Americans in shortstop Ethan Bass, third baseman TJ McQuillan, two-way stand out Matt Ponatoski and right-handed pitchers Shawn Sullivan and Grayson Willoughby.  The 2027 class looks very strong as well, especially in Illinois. A couple of things are missing from the Ohio Valley All-Region team, though.  The first is the two best outfielders in the region, as 2027 Illinois outfielder Sebastian Wilson is attending IMG Academy in Florida and fellow 2027 outfielder Noah Goettke from Ohio is attending P27 Academy in South Carolina.  Also missing are any players from Michigan, which enjoyed a dominant run of top prospects in recent years largely behind the Lake Orchard St. Mary’s HS program.  2027 catcher Broder Katke (Brother...

College Players of the Week: Feb. 17

Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Tyce Armstrong, IF, Baylor Opening Day always has a special feel with the sights, sounds and smells bringing back memories of days gone by. But no one that made their way to Magnolia Field at Baylor Ballpark could have imagined what they would witness in the Baylor Bears first game against New Mexico State. Enter 6-4/228, redshirt senior 1B Tyce Armstrong with his power stroke and flare for the dramatic. Transferring in after a successful career at UT Arlington, the Magnolia, TX native would etch his name in the record books with an incredible day at the plate. Armstrong would hit three grand slams in the game, becoming just the second player in NCAA history to accomplish this feat in a single game. His three home runs tied a program record, and his 12 RBIs set a new standard for the Bears. Beyond that, Armstrong matched the 50-year-old record previously...
