Champs Crowned at North Atlanta Open

ATLANTA, Ga. -- The 17u North Atlanta Open crowned co-champions on Sunday afternoon at Perfect Game’s East Cobb Baseball Complex, after the two finalists, East Cobb Astros 17u and East Cobb Astros 16u Texas Orange, got together and made the decision to share the title.

Despite the absence of the division’s championship, all four semifinalist teams produced high-quality games that were highlighted by several momentum-shifting plays, that ultimately gave both Astros teams victories.



The 16u Astros, who were undefeated entering their semifinal matchup with 643 DP Jaguars 17u Beasley, had posted a +23 run differential in their previous three games, second only to their program’s 17u affiliate. They finished the game with a 6-3 win.

The scoring began early, when 643 jumped out to an early two-run advantage in the top of the first inning, taking advantage of several East Cobb fielding miscues, but that lead was largely ephemeral.

In the next half inning, the Astros loaded the bases on three straight singles, and pushed across a total of four runs after also drawing three total walks in the inning. East Cobb tacked on an additional insurance run in the second, giving the game a 5-2 score in favor of the Astros.

Luke Orfi started and went 4 2/3 innings for East Cobb, allowing only one hit, while striking out three in an outing that paired an 85 mph fastball and a 74 mph breaking ball. In addition to his efforts on the mound, Orfi also drove in three runs during the game.

Georgia Tech commit John Cooper Williams and Boston Forbes individually tallied one RBI, helping to secure the 6-3 victory.

East Cobb Texas Orange’s Michael Mullinax, a 2024 grad, was named the MVP of the 17u division, as he drove in seven runs and scored five more, including a home run. Tate McKee earned MV-Pitcher honors for his performance on the mound against Team Revolution, as he struck out 14 over five innings of work while only allowing one hit.

In the day’s other semifinal, The 17u Astros also entered play with an eye-catching +33 run differential, and a roster featuring a swath of college commits. In a game that was played fairly closely through three innings, East Cobb eventually outlasted 643 DP Cougars Pedraza in the later innings, prevailing 11-5.

Through two innings, 643 created a commanding 5-1 lead after tallying seven hits against the Astros’ second pitcher of the day, Carter Davies, whose fastball ranged from 83-85 mph.

However, in the fourth inning the Astros broke their seeming scoring drought and put up five runs in the innings, that at the time gave East Cobb a slim one-run lead. Highlighting the inning was a three-run home run from Casual Kay that flew over the right field wall, tying the game at five.

That fourth inning momentum, stemming from Kay’s blast, extended throughout the East Cobb bench, and after a two-out single from Vanderbilt commit RJ Austin, the Astros plated two more runs that expanded their lead to 6-5 exiting the fourth.

643 was unable to mount an effective comeback attempt, as Austin, the Astros closing pitcher in the game, backed up his offensive performance with an 89 mph fastball that powered him to two scoreless innings and two strikeouts.

East Cobb added three more insurance runs in the sixth, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Cougars.

Three runs in the top of the first inning, two in the second, and one more in each of the next two innings was plenty to earn 643 DP Cougars 17u Praigo a title at the North Atlanta Open on Sunday, winning by a final score of 8-3 over the East Cobb Astros 17u.

Streeter hit .571 for the tournament with four runs, two RBI, and five stolen bases.
 
John Armstrong, an Auburn commit, was dominant in closing out the championship on the mound, striking out six in 2 1/3 innings, not allowing a hit or walk in that time.
 
East Cobb Astros 17u’s Jack Butler was named the MV-Pitcher of the tournament after his six-innning shutout performance in the semifinal round of the tournament.

A competitive 16u bracket melted down to three-seed East Cobb Prime 16u and four-seed 643 DP Tigers 16u Hawkins meeting in the championship game, with East Cobb erasing a five-run deficit late in the contest to earn a 7-5 win in extra innings.
 
643 scored two runs in the first and one run in each of the third, fourth, and fifth innings to jump out to a five-run lead, but a run for East Cobb in the bottom of the sixth got them on the board, four more in the bottom of the seventh tied the game, and two more in the eighth walked them off with a title.
 
Tournament MVP Kolby Kimberly closed out the win on the mound, tossing the final 3 2/3 innings and not allowing a run. He added two hits, two runs, two RBI, and two walks in the championship game at the plate to complete his immense impact.
 
Dylan McCarthy was named the MV-Pitcher of the event, tossing seven innings across two outings while not allowing an earned run and striking out seven, giving up just two hits.

Their showings in Fort Myers were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) batted leadoff and stuck at the hot corner for Texas Twelve Red Sox 2028 in Fort Myers. The Texas native has the looks a young left-handed power bat and the swing is built for it. Langerhans produces easy bat speed, delivering a fast and leveraged barrel through the zone. He creates backspin and uses the ground well, really getting into the legs. The infielder has excellent power projection and took comfortable, intentful cuts in the box. Langerhans got the job done at the top of the order...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler

Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown

To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...
