Top Historical Perfect Game Moments

● 2019 17u WWBA World Championships: Playing Team Elite to a 0-0 tie at Lakepoint, a game Gregory Gerard of PG tweeted about saying that it was the best travel baseball game he had ever watched! Ole Miss commit Cody Adcock struck out ten in six innings, touching 91 mph. Markevian Hence closed it out touching 94 mph. Team Elite brought in Austin St. Laurent, who also topped out at 94 mph. Braylon Bishop made the play of the year in center field in the 7th inning to keep it tied up. 
●2018 West MLK Championships: Champions 2018. Kale Davis went 7 IP, and gave up three hits in the semi-finals to win the MVPitcher. Jakob Berger got the win on the mound, also hitting a home run in the championship. Cason Tollett was the MVP.
2019 West MLK Championships: Runner Up in 2019. In 2019, Mason Auer made his PG debut, topping out at 95 mph in front of a huge crowd at Camelback 
● 2019 Perfect Game World Series: Advanced to the championship game. The Sticks Baseball/North East Baseball roster for the PGWS was loaded with talent, none more impressive than Markevian Hence who dominated in the championship game
2017 and 2018 WWBA 17u World Championships: advanced to playoffs both years. Jaden Hill made his PG debut at Lakepoint the first night of WWBA and topped out at 95 mph in 2017. Kale Davis threw a perfect game in the second round of the playoffs in 2018.
2018 BCS National Championships: advanced to championship game. Sticks Baseball 15U Elite ranked 9th in the PG rankings that summer. Braylon Bishop hit .500 with six doubles in nine games.



Single Favorite PG Memory
"Winning our pool and making the playoffs in Jupiter in 2019 is probably our biggest organizational accomplishment. The weekend as a whole was unbelievable. Masyn Winn proved he was one of the best players in the country by topping out at 98 mph and hitting a home run to win the pool against the Mets Scout Team. Markevian Hence threw against one of the best teams ever put together, the Orlando Scorpions, in front of what felt like a thousand people at midnight. He held them to one walk and no hits over five innings, topping out at 96 mph. Ethan Long came in to close it out touching 97 mph. He hit a huge home run to win the pool. It was an unbelievable weekend and one I am sure that no one will ever forget in our program."-Chase Brewster

Program History
“Steve Landers had a vision in 2015 to build a platform for the players in the state of Arkansas to be able to train at the highest level and to play in the biggest tournaments that PG has to offer. In the past four seasons we have seen our program grow, both regionally and nationally, to levels that we never saw imaginable when we started. Under the leadership of Rocky King and John Finn, we are excited to start Sticks Southwest in Phoenix, AZ this summer to help go with what we have built in Arkansas. In just over four years we have had over 200 players commit to play college baseball and 15 MLB draft picks who have played with us. This summer we have added both a National and an American team to play in the big events at 17U. We are excited to have former MLB big leaguers Shane Halter and Jayson Werth coaching the American team, as well as Tyler Sawyer and Jacob Richardson helping me (Chase Brewster) on the National Team. Having four top-100 ranked players (Braylon Bishop Drake Varnado, Gavin Kash, and Colton Sims) to go along with some really talented players like Rian Cellers, Max Soliz, and Ty Gordon who will give us the best offensive lineup we have ever had. None of what we have built in the past four seasons would be possible without having some unbelievable players, parents, and coaches in our organization. We cannot thank guys like Kyle Slayton, Cedrick Harris, Dirk Kinney,  Cesar Abreu, Evan Hamm, Jason Kelly, Frank Halter, and Blaine Tanner enough for what they provide for our players in our organization. We also cannot thank 3n2, Performance, and Max Velocity enough for what they do for our players” - Chase Brewster

What are we looking forward to scouting during the summer of 2020?
"A few years back I was talking with Chase Brewster outside the dugout prior to his team’s game at Century Link during the WWBA Underclass and he told me about an eighth grader in his program who was a top of the scale athlete with big time tools and that comes from outstanding bloodlines. That player was Braylon Bishop, who, four years later, now sits at No. 5 nationally and enters the summer as one of the more exciting players in the entire country. He’s a player scouts will be tracking very closely given his elite athleticism, run tool, and lefthanded bat speed, making him a can’t miss any time he’s on the field. While Bishop is the top ranked player scheduled to play for the Sticks this summer, he’s just one of seven Arkansas commits on the roster and 18 total players committed, meaning this club is loaded on talent. Shortstop/righthander Drake Varnado has real potential as a two-way prospect though his long term projection with the stick may win out while fellow middle infielder and Texas Tech commit Rian Cellers has impact type tools and looks to make a name for himself on the national scene this year. The trio of Max Soliz, Jackson Halter and Tanner Smith behind the plate give the Sticks some serious tools on both sides of the ball and they'll handle the big arms with ease. The club may still be relatively young, but they always compete and this group has the offensive firepower to make noise in any tournament they enter this upcoming summer and fall." -Jheremy Brown

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

Emily Hicks

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings. The defense backed the effort with great plays in the middle infield, preventing GBG Vegas from building momentum....

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk. '27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Texas Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74. North-south approach with a super steep release. Showed some really good feel for the zone and sequenced effectively to keep hitters off balance. Tristan Wright (2028, Magnolia, Texas) put on a show for Banditos 2028...
