Five Champs Crowned at East Labor Day

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.

14u BCS Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Austin Way (2030, Yulee, FL) was 2-3 in game four, driving in a run and scoring once himself. Picked it well defensively at shortstop but really showed out in the box today. Works the barrel path to the middle of the field and whips the barrel through the zone. The RHH creates lift in the turn, and the ball jumps off the bat hot.  Sutton Walling (2029, Ponte Vedra, FL) is an athletic 5’11/160lb infielder who gets it done on both sides of the ball. Dominated at the plate right behind his teammate Way in the batting order going 3-3 with two doubles. He does a really good job with the barrel accuracy and works through contact with heavy hands. Lots of project-ability in the profile and is having a sneaky great week at the plate. Banks Kennedy (2030, Arcadia, FL) received it well behind the dish and was the leading force in this one driving in three rbis. He ended up going 2-3...

2026 MLB Draft: Day One Recap

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Storylines Heavy College Run Early We came into the day knowing that there were a lot of talented college players at the top of the board, more specifically college bats. That came to light very early in the day, as we saw just two prep players selected within the first ten picks. The college preference lasted throughout most of the entire first round. Nearly 75% of the first 40 selections were college players. It is clear teams want players at the top of the draft that can quickly get through the system and help the big league club as soon as possible. Underslot Strategy Throughout this cycle, we knew that once you get past the first handful of picks the difference in value you were getting for let say pick ten was not that difference compared to pick 30. Because there was a large collection of players that are relatively close in value, teams were looking to get creative. We saw this...

Final 2026 MLB Mock Draft

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
It's draft day and that means it's time for our final Mock Draft with the 2026 group. 1. Chicago White Sox | Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA It’s between Roch and Grady Emerson at this pick, though there have been heavy rumors of a very late deal potentially with another top 5 pick. This boils down to negotiations and we think that they will get there.  2. Tampa Bay Rays | Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (Tex.) If Grady isn’t the first pick then he is almost certain to be the second pick. The Rays like to get creative but Emerson is a well worth prospect in his own right.  3.  Minnesota Twins | Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This is likely the floor for Roch Cholowsky, though the Twins might prefer Lackey to Roch outright. They are thought to be in on the top college players with Emerson a distant third.  4. San Francisco Giants | Jackson Flora, RHP, UC...

Ohio Valley Regional Scout Notes

‘28 INF Christian Ramirez (OH) WALKS IT OFF for @CincyDBulls2028 to win the chip! Has shown impressive tools throughout the weekend and in this AB showed the ability to adjust to the offspeed and win the game. #OVElite pic.twitter.com/J3MXJXFnbM — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 5, 2026 Christian Ramirez (2028, Mason, Ohio) helped his team win the championship batting out of the two-hole. Though he didn’t win tournament MVP, Ramirez was my favorite player to watch take a plate appearance. He has an advanced feel for the zone and sees the ball out of the pitcher’s hand quicker than most. Ramirez led the tournament with eight walks, batting .375 with a .583 on-base percentage. Much more than just the approach, the swing is efficient with little wasted movement, creates quality separation, and puts him in an excellent position at contact. With such an...

Cape Cod Notebook No. 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cape Cod League Scouting Notebook  Maverick Rizy | Ole Miss | RHP | Brewster Whitecaps  The towering 6-foot-9, 250-pound right-hander continues to stand out with one of the more unique looks on the Cape, pairing a massive frame with a low three-quarter slot that creates difficult angles for hitters. While his fastball velocity was down from its typical mid-90s range during this look, working mostly 90-92 mph, it still generated plenty of swing-and-miss. He paired the heater with an 81-83 mph gyro slider featuring tight bullet-spin action and mixed in an 85-mph changeup with quality separation. Rizy battled his command early in the outing I saw, before settling in to strike out five over three innings, showing the ability to adjust as the game progressed. Through 12.2 Cape League innings, he has recorded 18 strikeouts, and his combination of size, deception, and projectability...

Tre Hallberg (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to deep LCF for a 2-run 💣. Continues to stand out at the plate. Power will only continue to develop #WWBAWest @PG_Uncommitted https://t.co/NlWlDygpwg pic.twitter.com/RHrgYXLmwm — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) July 10, 2026 Tre Hallberg (2027, Mesa, Ariz.) was nearly impossible to get out over the first two days of action, going 7-for-9 with a triple and a home run. A balanced right-handed swing stays compact to contact. There is quick hand speed through the zone with feel for the barrel. Hallberg has a strong feel to hit to go with power that continues to develop. The upside is apparent.  William Garcia Falmer (2027, El Dorado Hills, Calif.) collected a pair of mulit-hit games over the course of day one and two, going 5-for-7 with two doubles, a homer, and seven runs driven in. Garcia Falmer features a physical build...
