Three Grab BCS National Qualifier Titles

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Siege 18u Scout Team took home the 2021 18u PG National Championship Qualifier title Sunday afternoon, defeating the JSB Tigers 18u, 13-0, in four innings. After extending their lead past 12 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Siege reached the threshold for a mercy rule, winning the title in an abbreviated fashion. 
 
With the win, Siege has earned a spot in the 2021 18u BCS National Championship, which will also take place in Fort Myers from June 18-22.
 
Siege opened up the scoring for the matchup as Angel Martinez led off the bottom of the first by reaching on an error, stealing second, and promptly reaching home on another Tigers error. 
 
Siege kept their foot on the gas pedal in the second, as an RBI single from William Rasnick and a series of Tiger miscues allowed Siege to build a 5-0 lead. While the Siege bats looked to stay hot into the third, a thunderstorm delay quickly derailed their attack, pausing play for over two hours. In an effort to keep his players dialed in, Head Coach Guillermo Garcia kept his players together near the field, urging them to stay focused on the task at hand.
 
“We told them to relax,” Garcia said. “But also to be ready to play the game at any time. We came here for a reason, and that reason was to be a champion today.”
 
Despite the long hiatus, the Siege offense picked back up where they left off in the bottom of the third. Behind RBI singles from Allan Arjona, Hector Revollo and Rasnick, along with a two-RBI single from David Bauer, Siege put up eight runs to revive their offensive onslaught, mounting a 13-0 lead.
 
Siege’s impressive display continued between the lines as Derek Arrocha asserted his own dominance on the mound. Tossing four innings, Arrocha threw a complete-game shutout, striking out three while allowing only one hit and one walk. Arrocha fanned his final Tiger batter to close out the last frame, securing the victory for Siege.
 
On top of his solid performance, Bauer received MVP honors for the tournament. The outfielder was 6-for-11 on the tournament, picking up six RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases on the weekend. Bauer said his comfortability with his teammates was a driving factor for his success.
 
“Our team is super close,” Bauer said. “I think having them make me feel good in the competitive environment helped me see the ball really well this weekend.”
 
Santiago Blanco Montes took home the MV-Pitcher award for the weekend after tossing six shutout innings over three games, striking out nine while allowing just one hit and three walks throughout the tournament. Montes said staying focused throughout was key in his stellar three outings.
 
“I stayed concentrated because my coaches told me they were going to use me in any situation and at any time,” Montes said. “I got ready and stayed ready, which I think helped me perform.”
 
As Siege looks down the road, Garcia expects the same performance and result from his team in the National Championship.
 
“All they have to do is come out and play the game right with the right attitude to be successful,” Garcia said. “You can’t ask for more. These kids are really good.”
 




2021 PG 14u BCS National Championship Qualifier
 
The Gulf Coast Monarchs jumped out to an early lead and never looked back Sunday afternoon, blowing by the Florida Burn 2025 on their way to a 9-0 championship win and 14u BCS National Championship Qualifier title.
 
A two-RBI double by Owen Rardin jumpstarted the Monarch offense in the bottom of the first. Matthew Blasena promptly drove Rardin home with a double of his own one pitch later, giving the Monarchs an early 3-0 lead. Rardin added to his stellar day in the third inning, driving home RJ Machado and Johnny King with a two-RBI single. Rardin later scored on a Braden Rosenthal double, and Rosenthal was driven home by a Cole Ingole RBI single, extending the Monarch lead to six runs. The Monarchs added on in the fourth, as a Jackson Geiger inside-the-park home run drove home two more, finishing off their offensive with a 9-0 lead.
 
While the bats provided plenty of run support, Monarch pitchers Machado and King needed little help on the mound. The duo combined for five shutout innings, each allowing just one hit while striking out two.
 
Geiger took home MVP honors for the tournament, going 10-for-14 with a triple, home run and six RBI on the weekend.
 
Rosenthal added hardware for the Monarchs as well, receiving the MV-Pitcher award for his dominant performance in the semifinals, throwing six shutout innings, fanning six while allowing just one hit and one walk.
 


2021 PG 13u BCS National Championship Qualifier
 
In a back-and-forth offensive battle, Alan Overmyer drove home a walk-off victory for Gulf Coast Monarchs 13u with a pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, squeezing out a 12-11 win over FTB United National 13u and a 13u BCS National Championship Qualifier victory.
 
Both teams put on an offensive show in the first inning. Behind RBI doubles from Louis Hernandez and Sammy Echeverry, FTB quickly mounted a 5-0 lead in the top of the inning. However, the Monarchs answered with five runs of their own behind RBI singles from Zachary Wilson, Nicholas Raber and Joseph Lawson, evening the score. Echeverry then added a two-RBI single to his impressive day in the second, taking the lead back for FTB. The Monarchs added a run in the second and then retied the game in the fourth with a Robert Fitzsimmons single. FTB quickly answered by plating two runners in the fourth; however, the Monarchs fired back yet again, as a Dylan Fernandez RBI single erased the FTB lead. 
 
Eager to get a grasp of the title, FTB tacked on two more runs in the fifth as a Nicholas Veneziano sacrifice fly and an aggressive steal of home by Johnny Chen See grew the FTB lead to three. Despite a Raber RBI triple in the sixth, FTB maintained their lead into the bottom of the seventh. However, that lead didn’t hold for long as Fitzsimmons clobbered an RBI triple of his own, tying the game and putting the winning run on third base with one out. In the ever-important next at-bat, the Monarchs chose to sub in Overmyer, and their decision paid off as the outfielder drove a liner into left field, earning Gulf Coast a walk-off championship victory.

Raber was named the MVP of the tournament, as he hit .438 over the course of the weekend with eight runs scored and three RBI, and also threw 3 1/3 innings of scoreless ball on the mound, striking out three. Veneziano was the MV-Pitcher of the 13u division, for his work over two outings in which he tossed a total of 6 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out six, and earning the win both trips out.

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart  to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Alain Gomez-Gudiño (‘26 AZ) with a pair of backside barrels, including a double. Physical 6-0/215 frame. Switch-hitter with power. Adv. defender with strong C&T behind the dish. @PGAllAmerican alum. #Gamecocks commit #PGHS @PG_Draft @SaguaroBaseball pic.twitter.com/2Vhuu5gYX9 — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 11, 2026 C Alain Gomez-Gudino, Saguaro (Ariz.) Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...

College Top 25: April 13

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
In a season where remaining in the Top 25 has become a war of attrition, the No. 1 UCLA Bruins (33-2) are making the game look much easier than it is in all reality.  Winners of 27-games in a row, this club continues to win games by any means necessary as they continue their historic run.  Beyond the incredible win streak, the Bruins have started off Big Ten play (18-0) by sweeping their first six conference weekend.  Adding to their resume, in Game 1 of their series at Rutgers, they won a 14-inning thriller by a score of 4-1where their pitching staff registered an eye-popping 30-strikeouts while only surrendering 1 walk and 4 hits throughout.  In most any other season, the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (30-5) would be sitting atop the poll as they are putting together a historic season of their own.  They swept Florida State (24-11) who was previously ranked...

PG Draft: Favorite Position Group

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Every draft class has its strengths. Some years its a loaded group of prep infielders, some years its a deep collection of college arms. In this year’s class, certain position groups stand out above the rest to us. This week, the draft team dives into their favorite position groups. Groups that we believe are loaded with depth, upside, and big league potential. College Infielders It’s hard not to get excited about the crop of college infielders in this year’s class because of who is at the top. Roch Cholowsky alone makes the group exciting. He’s got gold glove potential at the next level and an offensive profile that should make him one of the Top 15 to 20 prospects in all of baseball the second he gets drafted. Justin Lebron is another player with as much upside in the class. He is a premium athlete that can really pick it at short and has big upside with the...
