Top Event Performers

What a year it was in 2021 across several ages groups, from 2022 down to 2026, as we saw some spectacular play on both sides of the ball with some players putting up true eye-popping numbers, both in showcases and in a tournament setting. Over the course of the next two weeks we'll look at some of the leaders from this past circuit season, several of whom are setting the stage for an even bigger 2022 season.

Beginning with the 2022 class, there were some performances that may simply not be topped any time soon, whether it was Nazier Mule sitting 99 mph at the Perfect Game All-American Classic, where he bumped 100 mph, or perhaps the most unbreakable record of them all, a 5.96 60-yard time posted by Michael Gupton during the Perfect Game National Showcase. You'll be hearing about most of the players below leading up to next year's MLB Draft as their tools speak for themselves and rank amongst the best of the best across the country.
