13u, 14u World Champions Crowned

Padres 13u Scout Team Dominates Championship Monday at 13u World Championship

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Padres 13u Scout Team showed up on Championship Monday at the WWBA 13u World Championship and left no doubt as to who the best team in West Palm Beach was this weekend.



After an 11-0 win over Clutch Elite 13u in the semifinal slot, Padres 13u Scout Team jumped all over Blue Jays Scout Team 13u with a six-run second inning, going on to win by an 8-0 final in five innings.

The two-game shutout amongst the pitching staff was handled by Dru Wilson, who tossed the first five innings of the semifinals, Caleb Alexander, who struck out the side to put a bow on the semis, and Angel Gonzalez, who threw a complete game shutout in the championship, allowing just one hit and striking out five. Wilson and Alexander combined to throw a no-hitter in their semifinal gem.

The Padres got hits from seven different players in their lineup in the championship game, with seven-hole hitter Lennex Minor leading the way with a pair of knocks. The top four hitters in the lineup – Alexander, Gonzalez, Wilson, and Brayden Landry – all registered a hit.

It was even more of a hit parade in the semifinal matchup, with 10 hitters collecting at least one knock, Minor again grabbing a pair, joined by Alexander and Jace Duckett in that department. Every player who recorded a hit in the game also scored a run.

The two wins on the day for the Padres really came down to a pair of innings. A nine-run sixth inning in the semifinal game against Clutch Elite put what was a 2-0 lead out of reach, and a six-run second inning in the championship game jumped them out to what proved to be an insurmountable early lead.

Landry, a 2022 13u Select Festival participant hitting in the cleanup spot for the Padres, was named the MVP of the event. The Puyallup, Washington native hit .462 across 18 plate appearances, collecting eight RBI, scoring five runs, and stealing seven bags. His OPS for the event was an impressive 1.171.

The Blue Jays’ Geronimo Fermin was named MV-Pitcher for his efforts. The Orlando, Florida native tossed seven scoreless innings across two outings, striking out 14 and allowing just a pair of base hits.

Crooked Numbers Lead ZT Prospects National To Victory at 14u WWBA World Championship

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – ZT Prospects National put up three runs in each of the first, fourth, and sixth inning in the championship game of the 14u WWBA World Championship, and two more in both the third and seventh inning, to run away with the title by a 13-6 final over Canes National 14u.

The first run of the game came into score on a Zayne Hookala ground ball to shortstop, and a pair of bases loaded walks from Jacob Oropeza and Adrian Rosales moved the lead to 3-0 before Canes National even had a chance to strike back.

Strike back they did, as the Canes hung four runs on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead. Gabriel Priest and Griffin Boesen had RBI hits in the frame for the Canes, Priest's a two-RBI double and Boesen's a single to right field. Abrahm Howard drove in another run for the Canes in the second inning and pushed their lead to 5-3.

It was all ZT Prospects after that, though, as they scored 10 runs over the next five innings to grab ahold of the game and ultimately the tournament trophy.

The top five hitters in the ZT lineup – Carter Hadnot, Yogi Colangelo, Noah Everly, Jaeden Estevez, and Hookala – all scored multiple runs in the championship game. ZT's sixth hitter, Bryan Ravelo, scored one run, and added three hits and an RBI. Oropeza and Adrian Rosales, hitting in the seven- and eight-hole, respectively, both had two RBI.

It was truly a full team effort for ZT Prospects National.

Hadnot, the No. 15 overall player in the 2027 class, was named MVP of the event. The 2022 13u Select Festival participant hit .471 over the seven-game stretch with eight walks on top of that, scoring nine runs and stealing six bags.

Jael Castillo, a Duke commit in the 2026 class, was named MV-Pitcher of the event for Canes National 14u. Castillo tossed nine scoreless innings over two appearances, striking out 15 over that time and allowing just five hits.

PG Wood Bat Fall Kickoff Scout Notes

Article Image
Evan Thompson (‘29, AZ) showcasing the all-fields power with this ground rule double the other way. Immense power upside. Really fun offensive profile #FallKickoff https://t.co/l551KirUOf pic.twitter.com/QW0AIeg59g — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) September 7, 2026 Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, Ariz.) put on an offensive clinic throughout the weekend, going 8-for-13 with three extra-base hits. He capped off his MVP performance with a walkoff home run to take home the championship. Thompson is one of the premier players in the 2029 class. A fluid left-handed stroke consistently finds barrels. There is all fields power present that will only continue to develop further. It would not be a surprise if Thimpson ends up the top ranked player in the class when it is all said and done.  Chase Fillman (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) put together a loud summer circuit and...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo πŸ’£ on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers.

What Profiles Are Valued Most at Top of Draft

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The landscape of the MLB Draft continues to evolve each and every year. What teams value at the top of the draft can change based on the strength of a particular class, shifts in player development philosophy, and, perhaps most importantly, the way organizations evaluate risk and upside. Some trends are subtle, while others become impossible to ignore when viewed across multiple years. For this study, I set out to answer one question: What player profiles do teams value at the top of the draft? To answer it, I analyzed the Top-100 picks from each of the last six drafts (2021-2026). That gives us 600 total selections to examine and provides a large enough sample to identify both the profiles that have remained consistently popular and those that have gained or lost significant ground. The data was broken down by position, handedness and level to create individual player profiles. While...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo πŸ’£ (100 EV/ 416 ft).
