Jaeda Wilson (2027, Blue Springs, Mo.) of Top Gun 2010 gave a challenge against her opponents as a right-handed pitcher with a long, quick windup. Her long stride gave her the advantage on the mound with remarkable form and placement that gained her plenty of strikes looking against the opponents. Her changeup joined in the mix to defy the batter’s looking for a hit. She displayed aggressive baserunning, taking bases when the opportunity arose. Her strong mix and accurate pitches allow for growth and opportunity in her years to come.

KC Athletics 09 lived up their name with some players that have potential at the next level. Catcher Raygan Misenhelter (2027, Blue Springs, Mo.) had an all-around athletic showing behind the plate with the ability to control the ball efficiently to steal some strikes in her team’s favor. Her keen eye was shown at the plate, finding the middle of the ball with some lined shots to left-center consistently.

Tall right-handed pitcher Brooklyn Boucher (2027, Lees Summit, Mo.) of the KC Athletics 09 had a quick windup that shot the ball across the plate. With exceptional placement painting corners and the ability to throw an unexpecting changeup, she was the key player with bases loaded to bring in to shut out their opponents to end the game in a win.

Jaya Theilen (2028, Ames, Iowa) of Iowa Gold 12U showed promise in the batter’s box, driving the ball consistently up the middle, with a great feel for the bat meeting the ball in the middle. She carried her ability to track the ball with quick feet in center field.

Karsyn Smith (2027, Boone, Iowa) of Iowa Gold 12U displayed what a true utility player is capable of. As a right-handed pitcher athletically built with a quick windup, her changeup was useful in unexpectedly shutting out players, along with a notable rise that often ended with a swing-and-miss for the opponents. Her natural athletic ability carried to the batter’s box with a great feel for the barrel. Her natural feel for the bat is what drove in two runs with an inside-the-park home run. Her consistent bat continued into the championship to pull in the winning run for Iowa Gold. Favorable future for this player.

-Rachel Klipper

Diamond Dolls-Black's Olivia Adams (2028, DeSoto, Kan.) is a dual-threat player, getting the job done at the dish and in the circle. Olivia throws hard and hits her spots. Overpowering hitters with her short and quick arm action. She has a feel for the barrel often not seen at this level, coupled with a run-first attitude on the bases, makes this player a tough out.

Morgan Laird (2028, Kansas City, Kan.) is a right-handed pitcher for KC Pride Navy who was a true bright spot for this competitive team. Morgan mixed pitches and hit her spots all outing long. She was able to get ahead of hitters with her ability to throw consistent strikes keeping hitters off balance and guessing. The future looks bright for this young player.

Team Kansas-Parks has several offensive weapons to fit into the lineup, and Lola Sanchez (2028, Wellsville, Kan.) is one of them. Lola’s bat path is smooth and long through the zone, leading to many line drive hits. Her above-average speed makes her a threat to score every time she is on base.

Fellow Team Kansas player Hadley McKinney (2027, Overland Park, Kan.), playing at first base and the outfield, had an offensive plan every at-bat. Driving the ball to all parts of the field, she made solid, smooth contact through the zone.

Right-handed pitcher for Team Kansas Aniesa Rohleder (2028, Olathe, Kan.) threw many strikes during her outing. Her control and command of the pitches she threw confused hitters and kept them off balance.

Select Fastpitch 11u's Avery Lewis (2029, Liberty, Mo.), a utility player, was a force at the plate. Her long, flat bat path with upward angle at contact created many solid hits. Her plus speed turned singles into doubles and errors into runs scored.

Originals 10’ had a great showing thanks in part to Adalyn Dillon (2028, Blue Springs, Mo.), a right-handed pitcher. Adalyn has a great eye for the ball and her patience pays off being selective at the plate. Once she recognizes the pitch she wants, she drives the ball, creating RBIs in the process.

-Russ Wohler

11U Select Fastpitch out of Kansas City came to play in the Monster Bash. Lucy Reliford (2029, Liberty, Mo.) started the weekend off in the circle and showed off her strengths working the strike zone. Reliford had spin and movement on the ball. Not only did she help her team in the circle, but she also showed her stuff at the plate. Reliford had a nice drive Saturday morning to left field, resulting in a double for her and two RBI for the team.

Brynna Miller (2029, Saint Joseph, Mo.), also a part of the 11U Select Fastpitch, made it a point to show off in the batter’s box. Miller knew how to get her barrel through the zone to get results on the field. She had two solid knocks to left field to help advance runners and get herself on. Her swing is only going to get stronger.

Lindsey Kuzmic (2028, Kansas City, Kan.), a right-handed pitcher for 11U Select Fastpitch, was a force to be reckoned with in the circle. She showed speed that will only grow as she gets older, along with her spin on the ball. She played her position well and helped herself out with routine groundouts. She also had a strong feel for the barrel at the plate. Bright future for this player.

Behind the plate for 11U Select Fastpitch was Ella Defries (2028, Lawson, Mo.) who took part in helping get some extra strikes on the board for her pitchers. DeFries showed great wrist strength with her framing of the pitches.

Third baseman Kenna Pike (2028, Liberty, Mo.) for Intensity KC Hart 12U has a glove on her. Pike turned a great double play Saturday morning, starting with a quick reaction to a line drive on her glove side then turning it to first to double up the runner and clear the bases for her team. She did well in holding the lead for her team.

The off-speed on right-handed pitcher Emma Storms (2029, Kansas City, Mo.) fooled many batters at the plate. It came in at the perfect height with just enough drop on it where the hitters could not touch it. Storms has a bright future in the circle that’s only going to get brighter.

Iowa Gold 12U is a very talented group of softball players and they made it known at the tournament. The team went 5-0 in the tournament. Sophia Schlader (2028, Urbandale, Iowa) arguably had the best showing at the tournament, as the right-handed pitcher showed her stuff working the zone. Her rise ball crossed the zone perfectly and lifted out of touch from the bat. Schlader showed great strength and consistency in the circle. Schlader also backed herself up in the batter’s box by recording two home runs over the weekend along with many solid drives to result in RBI.

Shelby Woods (2027, Madrid, Iowa) was just as impressive in the batter’s box for Iowa Gold 12U. The speedy runner consistently found her way on base, whether it be a drive down the line to score her teammate or a beautiful stagnant bunt to get herself on. Woods also showed her speed in the outfield, as the right fielder made a great rundown diving catch to keep runners off base in the championship game. Woods was a very impressive player offensively and defensively.

Also a part of the Iowa Gold 12U squad, Delaney Deangelo (2027, Ankeny, Iowa) was who you wanted up to start a two-out rally, which is what she did to help her team gain more of a lead in the championship game. Deangelo had a great feel for the barrel and getting it through the zone. She consistently drove the ball to the green to get herself on along with advancing her teammates. Deangelo only has room to grow at the plate and I can guarantee these drives will be over the fence soon enough.

Celise Kellepouris (2027, Olathe, Kan.) with the Firecrackers 12U- Teal had a great showing in the circle. She started out on top with back-to-back strikeouts and a grounder right to her in the first inning of her start on Sunday. Kellepouris also took advantage of being long by stretching and beating out the throw to first on a grounder to third. That height will become of benefit to her pitching in years to come.

-Molly Reyes

Kailey Steineger (2027, Basehor, Kan.) is a pitcher for Select. Kailey throws a mean rise ball and a wide variety of pitches with speed, precision, consistency and finesse. The two-way player consistently performed with composure under pressure and great character from the mound. The long and lean pitcher has undoubted potential that will continue to advance with maturity.

Another Select Fastpitch player with a bright future is Trinity Deters (2027, Basehor, Kan.). A catcher for Select, Trinity is a wall behind the plate who pops up eager with an arm. She possesses lateral drop and block mechanics that allow her to keep the ball in front and a quick pop time allows her to intimidate the runners, gaining control defensively. Up to bat from the right side, Trinity consistently goes with the pitch and uses a wide stance to hit with power.

A 5-foot-3 shortstop for Team Kansas 09-Wiehe, Aubrey Ziolo (2027, Basehor, Kan.) has a good feel for the bat from the right side of the plate. Aubrey had a solid performance from the middle infield, making routine plays and despite her youthful size, she hit for power using a short load up top and quick hands through the zone.

With an open stance, shifty load, and quick hands through the zone, Bella Avise (2027, Marshalltown, Iowa) has a very elegant right-handed swing that produced consistent line drives and RBIs for her team, 12A Iowa Gold.

PG Softball "Toys 4 Tots" Fundraiser 18U division

Dave Durbala

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division. We would like to thank those that donated a toy, and know that they will be distributed to area underprivileged children through a local charity organization. Following are some of the top performers from the weekend. Earning Tournament MV-Pitcher was Jolee Strohmeyer (2026 Dubuque, IA), a RHP/UTIL with tournament champion Lady Expos Blue. Strohmeyer shows hitters a consistent and repeatable motion and delivery with good use of the legs in the drive phase, and a quick and aggressive arm whip. Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement as she worked her rise and curve just out...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2029

Tyler Russo

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things. C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag. Add-in a rocket for an arm, the ability to change slots and to...

Scout Stories: Part 5

AJ Denny

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...

College Notebook: December 12

Craig Cozart

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Highlights: The Cornhuskers were a difficult team to figure in ’25 as they finished with 33 wins, played just .500 (15-15) in the Big Ten but had some big wins at various times during the season and got hot at the right time. They knocked off then #16 Vanderbilt in the second game of the year, beat #5 Oregon State 2-out-of-3 at home in late March and then got hot at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to win the Big Ten Tournament. They beat Michigan State in a 10-inning thriller before taking care of #4 Oregon, knocking off Penn State and then shutout #13 UCLA to punch their ticket to the Chapel Hill Regional. Head coach Will Bolt has now led his alma mater to three conference titles and three NCAA Regional appearances during his six years in Lincoln. No different than when he was a player, Bolt’s teams play with passion and toughness, this was never more...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2028

Troy Sutherland

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 You like athletes? You like defenders who can impact a game at any given point? Look not further than this class as it's loaded from coast-to-coast with elite defenders all over the diamond. C: Brogan Witcher, Bakersfield, CA Our scouting staff got several strong looks at Witcher whether that was at the Summer Kickoff, Sophomore National or the Underclass All American Games where he showcased his strong overall skillset and especially his advanced ability behind the plate. His 6-foot-3,180 pound build looks like one that will fill in quite nicely and be that big and physical catcher’s frame. His arm talent is undeniable where he gets it out quick and runs it up to 79 mph on throwdowns to 2nd (1.84 pop). Besides the standout catch/throw ability, we’ve seen him frame/receive strong arms and block it well during...

Scout Notes: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Best Game I Saw: Hudson Reed (‘26, GA) torches this ball to deep CF for a solo 💣. Generates easy power that plays to the big part of the yard. Middle of the order traits #UBCWest @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/UXqDVFmUBx — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) June 18, 2025 I was fortunate enough to see a lot of highly competitive games with loads of talent on the field, the game that sticks out to me the most was Alpha Prime 2026 vs. ZT National Prospects at the UBC West. The game was an efficiently played affair with arms dominating on both sides. Graham Schlicht was masterful for Alpha, striking out 12 hitters over 5 dominant innings. PG All-American Julian Cazares came out of the pen blowing smoke, touching 97 mph with the fastball. On the other side, Jake Carbaugh surrendered just one hit and...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2027

AJ Denny

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 Elite defenders from coast to coast certainly seems to be a strength and to think you could make another top-tier team without thinking, speaks to the real depth this group possesses. The infield is a no-doubt strength of the group, but what catcher Dariel Carrion can do behind the plate is like something we haven't seen in a while in the prep ranks with an absolutely bazooka of an arm. C: Dariel Carrion (San Juan, PR) It isn’t often you get a catching prospect as athletic and natural as Dariel Carrion, a big reason why he holds the rank of #1 player in PR and #18 nationally. Metrics wise, the 5-foot-10, 210 pound San Juan native is all you can ask for and more, posting a sub 1.80 pop time with an 84 mph arm behind the dish. He has both contact and clear power threat on the offensive end, ending 2025 with a .337 BA and 4 HRs while also...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026

Tyler Henninger

The Class of 2026 is one of the deeper prep classes that we have seen in a couple of years. With that being said, there is plenty of talent on the defensive side. Let’s take a look at some of the best defenders in the class. C: Will Brick, Christian Brothers HS (Memphis, TN) Brick is a newcomer to the class after reclassifying, but immediately became the top backstop. Extremely advanced actions are shown behind the dish with impressive athleticism to go with it. Brick showcases big time arm strength and is consistently accurate on throw downs. He can make playing the position look extremely easy at times. Brick possesses all the defensive tools needed to be a premier catcher. 1B: AJ Curry, University City HS (San Diego, CA) Curry has a bigger and stronger frame with good strength throughout. He has a well-proportioned build that serves him well on the dirt. He’s...

Youth Baseball Executive Don DeDonatis III Joins PG By Jim Salisbury It’s free-agent season in baseball and Perfect Game has landed a big one. Don DeDonatis III joined PG as a consultant in November. The DeDonatis name is synonymous with youth baseball and softball. Along with his dad, Don Jr., DeDonatis helped build USSSA into a big hitter in the game. He brings decades of experience and knowledge to PG. “We all acknowledge that Donny has moved on from USSSA,” PG CEO Rob Ponger said. “This is a new chapter for him and we hope both sides take advantage of it to help youth sports in general. “The DeDonatis name has a legacy attached to it and we’re hoping that Donny is going to help us.
