Levi Clark Paces 6-4-3 to Title


In a friendly matchup between the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 17u and 18u teams, Danny Praglo’s 17u Cougars came out on top with a 7-3 win to clinch the 18u Championship title. 



“Everything we talk about early on is about trying to challenge ourselves because it's all about getting ready for what's coming, " Cougars' 17u head coach Praglo said. “It's more about preparing, trying to see as many good pitchers as possible for our hitters, and then of course for our pitchers to face as many good hitters.” 

Tennessee commit Levi Clark, catcher from the class of 2024 and Noah Harkins, RHP from the class of 2023 and future Young Harris College baseball player, received the MVP and MV-Pitcher of the tournament, respectively.  

“Levi, who received the MVP, I think set the tone offensively early on,” Praglo said.  

Leading off the bottom of the seventh Clark went long, sending an 83 MPH fastball over the outfield fence solidifying the 17u Cougars win. 


Another notable offensive player for the 17u Cougars was Conlon Walker, going 2-3 on the afternoon, with one RBI, scoring 2 runs, and hitting .545 through the 5 games this tournament. 


All Astros Title Game, Co-Champs Crowned

The 17u championship was co-champions crowned as the title game pitted the East Cobb Astros 16u against the East Cobb Astros 17u, securing yet another title for one of the more decorated travel ball programs. 

After winning both of their first two games on the weekend by a combined five runs, the 17u Astros' offense woke up and broke out in a big way with a 12-0 victory to wrap up pool play prior to their 11-7 victory in the semi-finals over the 5 Star National 17u Gold club. The middle of the order proved to be potent once again as the 3 and 4 hole hitters, Connor Shouse (who was also up to 94 mph on the mound) and Ira Jeffries Harris, combined for 7 of the team's 11 runs while Shouse, Paul Green and Amari Jefferson all recorded multi-hit games. After falling behind as many as five runs, the Astros were able to capitalize as they score 9 unanswered runs between the 5th and 6th innings while picking up two scoreless frame from Jack Meyers out of the bullpen. 

The East Cobb Astros 16u club simply never stopped hitting from the onset of the tournament, outscoring their opponents 34-8 over 3 pool play games before winning their first playoff game 4-0 over the TG Dbacks. Similarly to the 17u club, they faces off against a member of the 5 Star organization in their semi-final game against 5 Star National 17u Black where they needed to play 9 innings to determine a winner, finally plating 5 runs in the top of the ninth after tying things up in the 7th with a two-spot. Josh Gibbs helped pace the offense with a pair of doubles and ultimately took home MVP honors while both Maddox Monsour and Mercer Hudson drove in a combined 6 runs. The MV-Pitcher of the event, Nolan Bernard, got the start and went 4 innings of one-run baseball in which he struck out 5 before turning things over to Hunter Atkins who finished the job with 5 innings of his own, racking up 6 strikeouts while also surrounding just a lone run. 

6-4-3 Offense Explodes in Run Rule Championship Game

In a five inning game, the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 16u shut out the Devine Baseball 16u team 8-0.  Peyton Robidux started on the mound for the Cougars pitching four innings. The righty struck out five and allowed no hits. Alex Lupinski entered the  game out of the bullpen and helped close out the game in relief, striking out one and walking another in one inning pitched.  

As far as Cougars batting goes, the team had seven hits on the afternoon coming from Carson Zagryn, who went 2-for-3, Grayson McCollum, Isander Poventud, Davis Beilstein, Joe Montembeau, and Carson Vick.  

DP Cougars Stay Hot, Claim 3rd Title on Weekend
In the 15u championship, the 6-4-3 Dp Cougars 15u faced off against the Atl Lightning 15u squad. The Cougars clinched the win with an 11-2 victory in just 6.5 innings. With 11 runs and 10 hits, there is no doubt the Cougar’s offense was on fire. Caden Lenzi went 2-for-3, doubling twice, once to left field and once to center, scoring three of his teammates. Alex Thompson and Carson Adomnik also went 2-for-3 for the Cougars combining for 5 RBIs, almost half of the runs scored by the Cougars. Jack Richerson started on the mound for the Cougars, earning the win, striking out five and allowing no walks.  

Artillery Wins Thriller in 14u
Similar to the 13u matchup, the 14u Championship was a close one all game. In a 2-1 win, the Artillery Baseball 2027 Scout defeated the East Side Aces. Ethan Gilchrist started on the mound for Artillery Baseball, pitching for 5.1 innings, striking out three. Blake Lundy of Artillery Baseball went 2-for-3 at the plate, and in his second at-bat he hit a line drive single to left field, driving in Will Swisher for one of the team’s two runs. Joshua Alequin scored the Aces’ only run of the afternoon off of an RBI sacrifice single from Cooper Patterson in the top of the second. 

Smartense Stands Tall in 13u
Team Elite 13u National and Smartense 13u The Show battled it out Sunday afternoon in the 13u Championship game. In a nail-biter, Smartense was able to walk away with a 9-8 win to clinch the title.  

Both teams attacked at the plate all afternoon, combining for 17 hits. Liam Collier of Smartense went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Smartense started things off by scoring four runs in the first two innings. Collier, Rylan Jenkins, and Winston Morris all had RBIs in the bottom of the third, scoring three runs. Team Elite answered back, with three runs scored in the top of the fourth. Team Elite’s Colin Anderson also went 2-for-3 with one double on the afternoon. In the top of the seventh, Team Elite tried to climb back with a line drive double from Colin Anderson allowing Camden Shirley to score, closing Smartense’s lead by one, but unfortunately fell short.

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 61

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin.  Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts.  Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes.  Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76.  No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel.  Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm.  Playing up a few classes, you might...
