Thousands of players wearing the uniforms of more than 260 teams from throughout the nation are gathering at fields in Southwest Florida and Southeast Texas this holiday weekend for the 2021 season-opening Perfect Game MLK Championships.

The 180-team PG East MLK Championship and the 82-team PG South MLK Championship kickoff on Friday at fields in and around Fort Myers, Fla., and Tomball, Texas, respectively. This year’s South MLK takes the place of the PG West MLK Championship, which was held in the Phoenix-area from 2016-20 but suspended this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Play at the East MLK features teams in the 11u, 12u, 13u, 14u, Freshman, Sophomore, Underclass and Upperclass age divisions while the South MLK showcases action in the Freshman, Sophomore, Underclass and Upperclass divisions. All tournaments run for four days with championship games scheduled for Monday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The Terry Park Sports Complex in Fort Myers is also hosting the 24^th annual PG World Showcase this weekend. The World Showcase is PG’s longest-running national-level showcase event having first been staged at Terry Park in 1997; 110 prospects from the classes of 2021 and 2022 are expected this year. The 2021 PG World Uncommitted Showcase will run simultaneously with 50 class of 2021 prospects expected to be on hand.

UBC Northeast Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Mason Bicht (‘29 PA) stays hot, nukes this ball to dead CF for a Grand Slam💣 clear juice being put on display today #WWBANEChamp@PG_Scouting https://t.co/l24AwJ8RnB pic.twitter.com/iYgNvJcD2M — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) June 13, 2026 Mason Bicht (2029 Lansdale, PA) was an absolute force offensively over the course of the WWBA Northeast Championship, ultimately ending his event with a well deserved most valuable player award. Finishing with a .571 BA including five doubles, a HR, and 14 RBI, the 6-foot-1, 210 pound prospect simply refused to get out, and was a major reason why his Philly Bandits squad walked away champs Monday afternoon. The stance for Bicht is relaxed and balanced with loose hands and plenty of bat speed to be found.

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs

Alyssa Golden

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs After Nine-Inning Battle After three and a half hours under the hot Florida sun, VSA Sluggers 18 and Swamp Baseball’s City of Palms Championship battle ended in fitting fashion, with both teams sharing the title. The two teams remained tied 9-9 through nine innings before lightning in the area brought the championship matchup to a halt Monday afternoon. The two local programs have built a competitive rivalry, with several close matchups stemming from their proximity and familiarity with each other. Their history was evident throughout Monday’s matchup as emotions ran high, resulting in several heated exchanges and the eventual ejection of Swamp head coach Brian Porvaznik. Just three weeks earlier, the two teams met in the championship game of the BCS Qualifier, where VSA earned a 6-4 victory. Swamp entered Monday’s matchup looking to flip...

Perfect Game Staff

Ian Long (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed pitcher, came out firing for Swamp Baseball and ran his fastball up to 87 mph through the first inning.

14u WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

2030 SS Cash Kelly (Franklin, Tenn.) is a buzzing name this summer as someone who is off to a fast start and looks the part as one of the better pure hitters in this class. He’s very comfortable in the box, showing an innate feel to find the barrel (and limit swing-and-miss) while the hands are fast and he can really accelerate the barrel. Defensively he has been excellent making plays look easy, showing nice range and enough arm for the left side. Add in the fact that he’s a strong runner and you have someone that can impact the game a ton. 2030 SS/RHP Trey Vandergriff (Milton, Ga.) got a couple innings of work at the back end of East Cobb’s first game and looked awesome, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced with big stuff. He sat 85-88, showing dynamic arm speed and a really athletic delivery, while the breaking ball feel stood out, showing he can land it in any...

Michael Barnett, RHP, UCLA R-R, 6-4/210, Lafayette, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Michael Barnett has started games over the last four years for the Bruins, including 44 starts over the past three seasons. The fastball does not overpower hitters, but can generate ground balls at a high rate. A heavy fading changeup is the primary secondary pitch and plus offering. Barnett will use it often and miss bats at a high clip with it. A low-80’s slider adds a third offering. Barnett does not generate a ton of strikeouts, but pounds the zone and fills innings. 401. Connor Marshburn, RHP, UNC Wilmington R-R, 6-6/240, Cary, NC Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Connor Marshburn features an XL frame at 6-foot-6, 240-pounds.
