16U BCS Preview

Riley Sheppard
Hannah Jo Groves
The 18th annual BCS National Championship kicks off in Fort Myers, Florida, this week, with 132 teams battling out for one title. 

Starting Saturday, each team will play five games against the opponents in their respective pools. From there, the 22 pool winners and 10 wildcard teams advance to a 32-team single elimination tournament where a champion will be named Thursday morning at JetBlue Park. 



One team that could be playing late into the week is Scorpions 2025 Scout. Making the trip from Orlando, Florida, the Scorpions come into the week with a No. 21 national ranking and several noteworthy names. One of those names, a household one in the baseball world being Ethan Holliday. The No. 1 player in the Class of 2025, Holliday is off to a blistering start through nine games in 2023, posting a 1.251 OPS with two doubles, a triple and a home run. 

Along with him, Scorpions also bring Lamar Edwards, Gavin Stedman, Noah Campbell, Stephen Chucka and Luke Beeler to the table - all of which rank within the top-115 nationally. 

Another team that should be a contender as well is South Carolina Panthers 2025 Marucci, heading in with a No. 14 national ranking and 15-3 record on the year. Home to elite talent in Sam Cozart, Ryan Mitchell, Tyler Baird, Nico Soul, Parker Lakey, John Lash, Kaden Hart, Mylo White and Sam Harris, the Panthers come in with nine players ranked within the top-300 nationally.

Cozart, a Mississippi State commit, is a huge force on the mound - literally and figuratively - and looks to replicate a dominant 2022 campaign. Standing at 6-7 and 235 pounds, the 17-year-old has low-90’s velocity on his fastball to go along with a nice slider and curveball. 

Along with Mitchell, the No. 1 ranked shortstop in Tennessee, who is just as dominant behind the plate as he is on the bases. Heading into the week, the Georgia Tech pledge is up to 15 hits on the year, including four extra base knocks, along with eight stolen bases and 17 runs through 24 games. 

Journeying all the way from Honolulu, HI is No. 9 ranked Hawaii Elite 2G. The team currently stands at an overall 27-9-2 record and is ranked No. 3 in the western region. With a stacked roster featuring lethal, versatile players like Tanner Fujino, Alaka'i Kiakona and Elai Iwanaga, the talented team is sure to make a splash in Fort Myers. 

Fujino, who hails from Hawaii’s capital, Honolulu, is ranked No. 312 overall and No. 75 in the shortstop category. He has pitched 17 innings in 2023 and has kept his ERA down to an impressive .40 with only one earned run and 23 strikeouts. In the box, his batting average is .316 as he’s contributed 12 RBIs with 16 singles, nine doubles, a triple and a home run. 

Ranked as Hawaii’s No. 1 outfielder, Kiakona from Kailua, Hawaii shows defensive strength on the mound as well - as he’s pitched 22 innings and astonishingly has struck out 36 batters - managing a 2.20 ERA. Kiakona shows even more versatility with the power in his offense with a .395  batting average. He’s driven 21 RBIs with 19 singles, 12 doubles and a triple on the year. 

Another Hawaiian No. 1 is Iwanaga from Mililani, Hawaii - who is at the top of the list when it comes to the state’s right-handed pitchers. With an ERA of only 1.60, Iwanaga has ruthlessly struck out 32 in his 21 innings on the mound so far in 2023. He’s shown a lot of growth since last year - improving in ERA, hits, earned runs and walks - only not yet matching his 49 Ks in 2022. His clever strategies on the mound will definitely make for engaging battles against batters. 

Just above Hawaii Elite 2G in the national rankings is No. 8 Canes Midwest. Though the team has only played a total of 11 games together, it touts an extremely skilled roster including Brandon Logan, Jaden Fauske and Will Coleman - just to name a few. 

Logan, ranked No. 42 nationally and a Vanderbilt commit from Fort Wayne, Indiana, has impressed in the box with a .407 batting average, four RBIs, 8 singles and three doubles. With 11 hits so far, his on base percentage is at .514. His speed and skill on defense will show why he’s the No. 11 outfielder in the country. 

A Louisville commit from Willowbrook, Illinois, Fauske leads his team when it comes to batting average at .471. So far this year, he’s knocked in 18 RBIs, 11 singles, four doubles and a triple and has gotten his on base percentage to .486. At shortstop, he ranks at No. 70, using his height and strength on offense and defense. 

Hailing from Newburgh, Indiana, left-handed pitcher and Missouri commit Coleman has had a strong year so far - racking up 19 Ks in only 14 innings pitched and keeping his ERA down at 1.50. Most recently, his fastball clocked in at 85 mph - with his best ever at 86 last year. His craftiness and power on the mound will be sure to stump a few in Fort Myers.

14u East Spring Opener Scout Notes
Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Roman Keister (2030, Dade City, FL) Could not miss the barrel this weekend tallying 6 hits including 2 triples and 4 RBI. Starts the load early and controls his body well, the up the middle approach really plays in game. Also worked from off the mound for an inning and picked up a punch out.  Colton Russo (2030, Coral Springs, FL) Showed off the power burning outfielders all weekend. 5 hits including two triples that carried over the CF and RF heads. Has a good understanding about using the lower half in the swing and the bat to ball skills really impressed.  Karson Blakney (2030, St. Augustine, FL) Made his impact in a big way this week, collecting the win in the quarterfinals. In his outing he went 5 shutout innings and struck out 5 while only allowing 2 hits. Worked in the mid 70s with the FB and topped out at 78. Also produced on offense driving in 5 RBI on 4 hits. ...

PG Staff Mock Draft

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors. Chicago White Sox 1:1 Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA | 1:41 Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame The White Sox don’t overthink here and select Roch Cholowsky, who has...

Lennex Minor (‘28 CA) absolutely destroys this offering to the PS for a 2-run shot. 2-4 on the day w/ 4 driven in. Athletic in the box w/ a quick stroke and strength throughout the frame.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
