18u East Labor Day Classic

Four runs in the bottom of the first inning were all Fury 2022 needed in the championship game of the East Labor Day Classic, holding off Midland Swarm Southeast Blue by a score of 4-2.
 
A leadoff single from Michael McAloose was followed by a subsequent Matthew Morales single, four walks followed those two base knocks, and Preston Heben singled through the left side to drive in the fourth run of the inning.
 
Morales was named the MVP of the event, as he hit .615 over 13 at-bats, adding five walks, six runs, two driven in, and a stolen base.
 
Zachary Root, also playing for Fury 2022, was the MV-Pitcher. The uncommitted 2022, currently ranked as the No. 23 left-handed pitcher in the class, tossed six scoreless innings across two appearances, striking out 14 in that time and allowing just one hit.
 


17u East Labor Day Classic

Ostingers Baseball Academy 2023 and Hit Factory Pros 2023 were all knotted up at 2-2 through three innings of the championship game in the Underclass portion of the East Labor Day Classic and decided to leave it there, as the two squads agreed to be crowned as co-champions because of ongoing rain and lightning delays in the area.
 
Hit Factory Pros was held scoreless through the first two frames, but scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to tie the game and earn the co-championship. LaPlace Sallis IV and Anthony Petrillo reached on a hit-by-pitch and walk, respectively, to start the inning, and later came around to score and tie the game on an error to the right side off the bat of Maddox King, who battled during the seven-pitch at-bat.
 
Ostingers broke through first in the top of the first inning. A single from Jayden Vazquez started it off, and he later came around to score on an RBI single from Bryan Rivera.
 
Aidan Walsh singled in the top of the third for Ostingers, and was driven in by Arjun Nimmala, who doubled on a line to right field.

Co-MVPs were crowned in the 17u division. Hit Factory's Grant Jordan hit .667 in 12 at-bats, driving in six runs. Ostingers' Nimmala was also named MVP, as he hit .571, including a home run, on his way to scoring seven runs and driving in five.

Hit Factory's Daniel Lazaro was named MV-Pitcher. Over two appearances, including a seven-inning start, Lazaro didn't allow a single earned run, struck out 10, and only allowed two hits.
 


16u East Labor Day Classic

Pitching ruled the day in the 16u championship game of the East Labor Day Classic, as Florida Aces 2024 Black’s Stephen Joyce tossed all seven innings of the championship against Ostingers Baseball Academy 2024, giving up just five hits and one unearned run to lead his team to a 2-1 victory.
 
Ian Jones worked a seven-pitch walk in the third inning to get himself on base for the Aces, stole second base to force the action, and later came around to score on an error to give his team the lead.
 
Consecutive walks to start the bottom of the sixth from Michael Conger and Danny Machado started another scoring opportunity for the Aces, and a single from Gregory Caban brought Conger around to score to push the lead to 2-0 heading into the last frame.
 
Ostingers Baseball Academy did scratch a run across in the top of the seventh, thanks in part to an error in the inning and a few walks. With two outs, the bases loaded, and the score standing at 2-1 in favor of the Aces, Joyce induced a groundout right back to him to secure the win.
 
Machado was named the MVP of the tournament for the Florida Aces. The top-100 prospect in the 2025 class hit .429 for the event, while adding five walks to his statline, as well as three runs, seven RBI, and six stolen bases.
 
Joyce, for his efforts in the title game, was named the MV-Pitcher of the event.



15u East Labor Day Classic

Tyler Greenberg tossed seven scoreless innings for the Florida Warriors in the title game of the 15u East Labor Day Classic, as his squad laid four runs on Loyola Baseball, winning by that 4-0 margin.
 
Greenberg only allowed three hits and one walk over the course of his outing, striking out eight in the process and needing just 78 pitches to get through his start.
 
The scoring got started in the fourth inning for the Warriors, as Alejandro Rosales and Darwin Vargas hit back-to-back singles before Robert Kramer drove in Rosales on a ground ball to short.
 
Two more runs scored in the next inning, thanks to RBI singles from Rowen Plasencia and Greenberg. Plasencia singled again in the sixth inning, and came around to score on a Rosales ground ball to third base, which made the score 4-0 in favor of the Warriors.

Plasencia was the MVP of the tournament, as he hit .300, scored three times, and drove in a pair. Greenberg was given MV-Pitcher honors for his work during the championship game.
 


14u East Labor Day Classic

The 14u championship game at the East Labor Day Classic brought arguably the best game of the tournament, with five lead changes leading to a one-run victory.
 
In the end, it was a two-run sixth inning for SWFL Baseball 2026 that led them to a 5-4 victory over Gulf Coast Monarchs 14u.
 
Gulf Coast Monarchs got out to the first lead of the game, pushing a run across in the bottom of the second inning thanks to a few walks, a single from Beau Collier, and a wild pitch eventually plating Aiden Puente.
 
Two runs in the top of the third for SWFL came from an RBI single from Carter Chalder and RBI double from Nicholas Raber, which scored Chalder.
 
Gulf Coast came right back in the bottom of the frame, however, plating two runs of their own to retake the lead, 3-2. A walk and a single from Joseph Lawson and Thomas Giltner, respectively, started the inning, and RBI single from Andrew Gonzalez tied the game at 3-3, and a passed ball brought in Giltner to grab the lead back.
 
A two-out rally in the top of the fifth inning produced another tie in the title game, as Chalder walked to extend the inning, moved up to second base thanks to a passed ball, and scored on an Alan Overmyer RBI single to right field.
 
Lawson and Gonzalez subsequently singled in the bottom of the fifth inning for Gulf Coast, and Lawson broke yet another tie when he scored on a Puente sacrifice fly. Heading into the sixth inning, it was 4-3 in favor of the Monarchs.
 
The sixth inning proved to be crucial for SWFL, as two runs were plated to take the lead for good. Bryce Goldstein walked to begin the inning, was bunted into scoring position, and came around to score on an Aaron Hurley RBI single. Hurley himself then came around to score the game-winning run on a single from Evan Goeller.

Raber was given MVP honors for the tournament. Across 18 at-bats, he hit .556 with five doubles and drove in nine runs. Gulf Coast's OB Osceola III was named MV-Pitcher for his four-inning, six-strikeout scoreless performance against Team X 14u.

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

Canes West National (2027) Floyd is a high-upside prospect with physical tools and burgeoning power. His combination of size, bat speed, and raw strength makes him one of the top power-hitting third basemen in the country. Currently ranked the #1 third baseman in Arizona and #4 nationally in his class. With continued refinement of his approach and defensive consistency, he has all the ingredients to be a middle-of-the-order bat at Texas A&M and a legitimate MLB Draft prospect JJ Utash (‘27,AZ) with a triple here....

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella

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.   Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas  As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

Best of the Best Event Preview

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week:  Carson Tinney, C, Texas  The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week.  To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney.  The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year.  In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told.  With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...

The regular season is behind us, and it is now tournament time and wow, is there a lot to still be decided.  We are a week away from the Field of 64 being announced and hosting opportunities, at-large bids, as well as automatic bids are there for the taking.  The UCLA Bruins (48-6) continue their stranglehold on the No. 1 spot in the land, finishing the regular season without losing a series all year.  ACC powers, UNC (43-10) and Georgia Tech (45-9) remain at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively and SEC regular season champs, the Georgia Bulldogs (43-12) stick at No. 4.  After that there was a small amount of shuffling within the Top 10 with No. 5 Texas (40-12), No. 6 West Virginia (37-13) and No. 7 FSU (38-16) moving ahead of now No. 8 Auburn (36-18) after they were the only team in this group to drop their weekend series.   No. 14 Florida (37-18) and No. 15...
