2021 PG Softball Sunday Shootout Event Page

12U Division

Carolina Elite 09-Tucker ran through the highly competitive 12U field unscathed to capture the PG Sunday Spring Break Shootout Championship. Pacing Elite throughout the day was a steady defensive effort and sound pitching. Their opportunistic, and at times overpowering, offense keyed all of their victories on the day. The fundamentally sound and highly skilled Elite-Tucker club was tested only by the Comets-Trego nine as Elite went undefeated, scoring 31 runs in four games, while only allowing eight. Comets-Trego, a club that already has a PG Championship trophy to its name this spring, also played well in making it to the championship contest. The Comets only dropped two games, both to the Elite-Tucker club, in very well played, highly competitive contests.

Congratulations to Carolina Elite-Tucker on a well-deserved championship. The overall talent and skill of this particular group is quite noticeable. The individual abilities of the Elite team dictates that many of its members have bright futures in the game. A tip of the cap also to the Comets-Trego, for once again making a trip to the championship round, showing all in attendance that they are a fine team and one that will be heard from often this spring and summer.

14U B Division

Although the field wasn’t very deep, the competition between the three clubs on the 14U B side was fierce. At the end of the day, Athletes Lab-Rembert strung together three straight wins to capture the PG Silver Championship trophy over the Diamond Dawgs Yellow and Carolina Cobras-Paradiso. All three teams had their moments throughout the day, as no team truly dominated until Athletes Lab put together their strong finishing kick to win the day.

Congratulations to all three teams for playing with true grit and determination the entire day. Well-deserved and certainly earned kudos to Athletes Lab-Rembert for their strong stretch run to capture the Spring Break Championship.

14U A Division

Carolina Elite-Alley rolled to the 14U A title with the usual Elite organization mantra of solid pitching, air-tight defense, and steady offense that was often unrelenting. This version of Elite softball saw many players come through in the clutch. The red and black-clad champions play with a style much above their age group and many who donned the Elite uniform, at least on this day, show that they have a bright future in the game. Congratulations to the 14U A champions, the Carolina Elite-Alley.

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...

Perfect Game Staff

Perfect Game to honor Pat Gillick in new Philadelphia Showcase By Maya Heyman Perfect Game is bringing its elite showcase experience to Philadelphia’s FDR Park for the inaugural Philly Stars/Pat Gillick Showcase this weekend, honoring one of the greatest executives in MLB history in the city where he constructed his final of three World Series winners. The event will take place on Sunday, the same day as the DICK’S All-American Classic, taking place just across the street at Citizens Bank Park.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title

Alyssa Golden

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger

Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level. But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection. For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024. Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...

His fastball averaged nearly 96 mph throughout his time on the Cape, pairing the...
