13u ('27) Tourney All-American Team

The 2022 summer circuit was one to remember as plenty of players from across the country made a name for themselves, battling it out between the white lines, setting the scene for what is sure to be a big 2023 tournament circuit. Below we take a look at some of the statistical standouts and while some of the 2027 graduates were young enough to play 12u baseball and did such, they were taken into consideration for the 12u All Tournament Team which is set to be released following this. Several teams took home some serious hardware while other players made statements with MVP performances, either with the stick or on the mound. 

In total, between the first and second teams of hitters and pitchers, 14 players participated in the 2022 13u Select Festival while several others earned invites and put together loud performances at the 2022 13u National Showcase. Leading the way in terms of All-Tournament Team selections were Evan Stramanak (Florida) and Matthew Kelley (California) as both earned the honor an remarkable 20 times each with Stramanak winning MVP honors at the 13u BCS this summer after a ridiculous and Kelley hitting .416 on the year with 91 stolen bags. Between the two teams offensively, 25 players recorded double-digit All-Tournament Team honors. On the mound a pair of left-handers sat atop the ATT list as both Colton Christman, who led the group with 112 strikeouts, and Leo Reina, who struck out 82 in 66 innings pitched, each claimed the honor 15 times apiece.



That said, it's the left-handed hitting catcher out of Florida, Evan Stramanak who is tabbed as the 13u Tournament Player of the Year after an eye-opening slash line of 0.461/0.566/0.720 with an OPS 1.285 over nearly 300 plate appearances. Not only did he show no fear in playing, he consistently performed as the numbers suggest with his stats across the board (20 doubles, 11 triples, 6 home runs and 88 RBI) ranking amongst the best on the first team, proving a level of consistency in his game. 

The Pitcher of Year award was just as difficult given to decide upon and could've gone a variety of ways given the numbers put up by some of the arms, but ultimately left-hander Brent Frosch of Texas takes hardware. Frosch's strikeout numbers are amongst, if not the best in this project as he average just over 2 strikeouts-per-inning while maintaining a 1.240 WHIP while allowing just 19 hits over 40 1/3 innings pitched. The 5-foot-10 southpaw bumped into the low-80s with his fastball and though he may not light up the radar guns just yet, he's proven he knows how to pitch, mix and match, and most importantly, collect outs. On top of what he did on the mound Frosch also earned First Team honors for his offense as he hit .472 on the year with 13 doubles and a 1.236 OPS.

‘30 UTL Chase Jelks (GA) lifts this one deep into the gap & rolls around the bags for a triple. Loose LH swing w/ feel to lift. #DontBootTheLoot @PG_Georgia pic.twitter.com/leF4GMTawJ — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 4, 2026 Chase Jelks (2030, Atlanta, Ga.) put together a great weekend for The Dream 14u Black in their run to a championship game appearance, hitting .444 with two triples and a double along with three RBI. He controlled the zone throughout the event in the box and finished with a 6:1 BB:K ratio because of it while also swiping five bags as well. It was a strong showing for Jelks, something that’s becoming common this spring in PG events.    ‘30 MIF Cohen Carter (TN) hits this one on the screws into the gap for a triple.

College Top 25: April 20

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end” and that was the case last Tuesday when UCLA (36-3) saw their 27-game win streak come to an end in a shutout loss to UCSB.  However, the No. 1 team in the land still has their 21-game winning streak in Big Ten to protect, as they have started off league play without a single blemish.  The Bruins will remain atop our poll this week and their historical start to the season roll on.  The UNC Tarheels (33-7-1) move up to No. 2 this week after they made their biggest statement of the year by taking the weekend series from now No. 4 Georgia Tech (32-7).  No. 3 Texas (30-8) and No. 5 Georgia (32-9) both went (3-1) on the week and won their SEC series to stay in contention for the regular season title.  Florida State (28-11) had a nice bounce back (4-0) week and re-enter the Top 10 at No. 8 this...

Coppy's Corner: April 16 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.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Adv. defender with strong C&T behind the dish. @PGAllAmerican alum. #Gamecocks commit #PGHS @PG_Draft @SaguaroBaseball pic.twitter.com/2Vhuu5gYX9 — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 11, 2026 C Alain Gomez-Gudino, Saguaro (Ariz.) Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

JUCO Top 25: April 15

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long. Cloud County and Midland College continue to put together strong weeks and climb the rankings each week it seems. Jumping into the rankings this week on the strength of a 15-game winning streak is Seminole State (OK). And Linn Benton makes the top 25 for a 2nd consecutive week and looks like the top team in the NWAC this spring. Plenty of high-level matchups at the JUCO level for some of the top teams in the county this next week.  Rk.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...

College Players of the Week: April 14

April 14th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jaquae Stewart, INF/OF, Texas State  The Texas State Bobcats (24-12) are sitting in second place in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference, and they have one of the most explosive offenses in the country.  They average right at 8-runs per game and can slug with the best of them, averaging almost 2-home runs per game as well.  Sitting in the middle of the order, Jaquae Stewart, is putting together a career year and is becoming the focus of opposing teams.  The 5-10/234 junior from Sinton, Tx is your classic lefthanded power hitter and is thriving in his move from Austin to San Marcos.  While it wasn’t the best week for his club, Stewart was sensational, collecting 8 hits in his 19 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, launching 5 home runs and driving in an insane 17 runs.  For the season, he is now slashing...
