PG Elite 8 Tulsa Scouting Showcase

BIXBY, OKLAHOMA- Perfect Game hosted the Elite 8 Tulsa scouting Showcase on November 10-12, 2023. 19 teams in 2 age divisions 16u & 18U came out to compete in 90-minute games to showcase their individual and team skills. Some of the weekend’s top performers are recapped below.

 

Londyn Bond (2027, Bartlesville, Oklahoma) of Vision Gold 16u 2026 was this weekend’s tournament MVP and Elite 8 Tournament Champions. Londyn was outstanding at the plate with 10-R, 9-Hits, 4-Doubles, 1- Triple, 2-HR, 2-SB and most impressively 0 strikeouts. Her softball IQ, power at the plate, and aggressive baserunning helped her team go 6-0 and have a team batting average of .452.

Riley Westmoreland (2025 Haskell, Oklahoma) of Pryme Fastpitch-Ray was this weekends runner-up for tournament MVP and her team took 2nd. Riley was an offensive dyanmo scoring 11 runs, 7-Hits, 1-Double, 1-Triple, 1-HR, 11-SB, 4-BB with only 2-SO. Riley saw the ball very well from the left side. With her slapping, bunting and power Riley has a lot of different ways to get on base. She is a true triple threat. Her long stride makes her baserunning very productive to help her team finish 2nd this weekend.

Hailey Ediger (2025 Columbus, KS) of Vision Gold 2026 was this weekends MVP-Pitcher. Ediger won’t have a problem finding the leaderboard again. Ediger had a phenomenal weekend on the mound and helped pitcher team to Tournament champions. She averaged 2 strikeouts per inning and gave up ZERO earned runs on the weekend. Her ability to hit her spots and change speeds kept the hitters guessing and is one of the many reasons Vision Gold 16u came out on top.

Briley Lacquement (2026, Wynnewood, Oklahoma) of Oklahoma Angels 08 took 2nd place on the pitching top performers list. She threw 18 innings and had 11 strikeouts.  Consistently hitting the 60’s she only gave up 2 earned runs on the weekend. Briley pitched her team to a 3rd place finish with a 5-1 record.

Adisyn Peetoom (2025 Nardin, Oklahoma) of Pryme Fastpitch-Ray helped pitch her team to a 2nd place finish. She was dominant on the mound with a very good drop ball and rise combo. She paired that with a changeup that can be thrown in any count, which made her very difficult to square up. In 18 innings pitched, she struck out 31. What also impressed was her presence on the mound and leadership.

Kadence Janney (2024 Rogers, Arkansas) of Vision Gold 18u was this weekend’s Elite 8 Showcase Tournament-MVP and tournament Champion. Kadence had a strong weekend at the plate and stayed very disciplined and very selective. Kadence had 56.66 score 6-R, 10-H, 2-Doubles, 2-Triples, 0-HR, 9-RBI, 1-SB, 1-BB.

Addison Chapman (2025 McPherson, KS) of Kansas Shockers was this weekend’s Elite 8 MVP-Pitcher. She pitched lights out all weekend consistently hitting low 60’s with her velocity and almost averaging 2 strikeouts per inning. She was very tough to hit, only giving up 5 hits total. Watched Addison make that ball dance all over the plate. Kept the hitters guessing on what was coming next. Addison also could swing the bat finishing 4th on the leaderboard, proving she is a very tough two-way player.

Scott's Eye Popping Two-Way Earns MVP

PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers.

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger

Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...
