Class of 2027 Tourney AA Team

Tyler Russo
AJ Denny
Anthony Gambardella
This is a fun class that has just begun their high school journeys this fall, which means the bulk of these players just came off the 14U summer circuit, while some are younger and began the 14U circuit this fall, 22 of the players on this list were selected to the 14U Select Festival held in early September, while an additional 9 were in the 13U Select Festival this year up in Knoxville. This exercise looked at the best performers from the tournament circuit throughout all of 2023, combining statistical results with event level, impact and just overall performance on the circuit. There were tons of other strong performances across the database, but these compile the best.





Player of the Year: Will Brick. When you look at the numbers across these pair of teams on the offensive side, there’s some pretty ridiculous performances from these players, especially with guys that played extensive time on the circuit, but no one was more impressive than Brick from start to finish. He did things like hit .750 (15-for-20) at the 14U WWBA, carrying his team to a deep run, to playing in both Jupiter and the Freshman Worlds event as a young 15-year old and hitting well in both to racking up 10 all tournament team selections in just 11 events played in. He finishes the year with a .556 AVG, a 1.519 OPS, 23 XBH and only 9 Ks in 55 Games/168 PA.



Pitcher of the Year: Derek Yormack. Another Select Festival player from this year, Yormack put up some pretty ridiculous numbers in total, especially on the 14U circuit where this level of dominance is difficult with arms still developing with every outing. He closes the year out with a 0.29 ERA across 48 IP, striking out 92 in total and holding opponents to .145 AVG and throwing steady strikes. He had many dominating performances across his circuit, including a 6 IP/12 K/1 H outing at the Mid-Atlantic World Series, a 5 IP/12 K/2 BB outing at the Super25 and a 6 IP/10 K/1 H outing at the 14U World Series. The numbers speak for themselves; he was great in 2023.



2-Way Player of the Year: Jared Grindlinger. Many players at this level still steadily compete on both sides of the baseball (pitch and hit), but no one this year was as consistently good for as many games as Grindlinger, who took home MVP honors at the 14U Select Festival for his huge performance on the mound. He threw 26 innings and posted a 0.49 ERA with 35 strikeouts and limiting hits/walks but was even more impressive offensively as he hit a casual .493 with 50 RBIs and 49 runs score. The most impressive stat might be that he only struck out FIVE times in 67 games on the tournament circuit (190 PA), meaning he could go close to 40 trips to the plate without striking out at a time this year; he’s got very impressive upside on both sides of the ball.

Texas Defends Home Turf at All State
Hannah Jo Groves

Texas American Dominates for the 12U All-State Select Championship A run-rule, 11-3 victory over California National sealed the deal for Texas American’s 12U PG National All-State Select Championship win. 6 different players combined for Texas American’s 11 total runs - Ishmael Ruiz knocked in 2 runs with a double in the bottom of the second, Cannon Hughes knocked in 5 runs with 2, 2-run home runs in the first and second innings and an RBI walk to seal the game. Though it’s clear Texas American’s offense was explosive, right-handed pitcher Martin Vazquez did his part on the mound, striking out 6 batters and only dealing 1 walk in his 4 innings and 61 pitches of work. Earlier in the tournament, Lucas Bingham, the tournament’s MVPitcher, struck out 11 batters over 6.1 innings in his outing - and despite that impressive stat line - Bingham said he was not...

Florida Offense Paces All State Crown

Hannah Jo Groves

Florida National got off to a hot start in Monday’s championship game against Texas National. Scoring all their runs in the first and second inning, Florida National held off Texas National and won 5-3 for the 14U PG National All-State Select Championship title. An electric and fun-filled weekend all led up to this final game on Field 3 at Premier Baseball of Texas. The players geared up under the lights for what would surely be another great meeting between stacked teams. Texas National was up to bat first, but Florida’s pitcher, Lucas Diaz, struck out 2 batters in a row before fielding a ground ball for the third out. Though the bottom of the first started with a strikeout for Florida National, Diaz reached first base on a dropped passed ball and Jayden Portes got on with a walk. With two on and only one out, Florida National was primed to pounce. Lucas Viera singled to...

2027 MLB Draft Reports: 101-200

Tyler Henninger

2027 MLB Draft Board: Top 200 2027 MLB Draft Reports: 1-100   101. Cooper Williams | LHP | LSU | L-L | Alvin, TX Williams is a lanky, projectable left-hander, standing at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds. A loose, whip arm hides the ball well into a tough low 3/4 slot. The fastball sits in the low-90’s. Both a sweeping slider and curveball are spun well. Williams shows strong pitchability with the ability to add and subtract. Strikes will need to improve if he is to stick as a starter long term. 102. Christopher Ramirez | SS | Tennessee | R-R | Corona, CA Ramirez was the WAC freshman of the year and followed it up with an even better sophomore campaign.
