12u Tourney All-American Team

This year’s 12U Tourney All-American teams bolsters an exciting group of talented players that will sure be fun to watch progress over the next several years. These two teams include 28 Perfect Game Select Festival alums who all bring tons of talent nearly every time we get to see them at a Perfect Game tournament. The sheer abundance of ridiculous stats leaves something to be said as we look to celebrate each and every player’s accomplishments despite their age. 

The numbers certainly speak for themselves and before we start to clamor over things like smaller fields and different bats, truth be told these players are absolutely talented in many facets of the game and will only continue to get better as they mature and work on their game. The 2023 12U game was absolutely electric with Trent O'Malley’s walk-off grand slam completing the comeback for the East Squad in their 18-16 victory. O’Malley and first teamer Peyton Lopez shared MVP honors. 



2023 Perfect Game Select Festival alum Noah Jarolimek was an absolute machine this past season and takes home 12U Player of the Year honors after amassing a truly ridiculous stat sheet. The South Carolina native hit .578 on the year over the course of 262 plate appearances, accumulating 129 hits and driving in an astounding 141 runs. Seventy-eight of his 129 hits went for extra bases and he was named to twenty-one all-tournament teams. A simply outstanding year from the youngster. 

Fellow Select Festival alum Russell Nelson takes home Pitcher of the Year honors after punching out 128 hitters across his 98 innings pitched. The young right-hander accrued these outstanding numbers while participating in nearly all of the most competitive tournaments across the circuit and worked to a 0.90 WHIP, which is pretty absurd for 12U baseball. 

Lastly, a pair of Perfect Game Select Festival alums will share this year’s Two-Way Player of the Year honors, as both Earon Ramirez and Dylan Mercado excelled on both sides of the ball all year long. Both his well north of .500 for the year with Mercado nearly hitting .600, while both amassed well over 100 hits with Ramirez nearly reaching the 150-hit mark. On the mound, the pair nearly eclipsed 300 strikeouts between the two of them in a little over 160 innings combined. 

This crop of Perfect Game tournament All-Americans is extremely talented and will be fun to watch as they continue to PG journey. …

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Noah Rumley (‘29 NC) has been up to 90 so far in this start w/ 8 Ks in 4 innings of work. Really jumps out of the hand at foot strike w/ some ride to it; has also mixed in a SL w/ horizontal action. #WWBA @PG_Coastal pic.twitter.com/OcU57a3Syl — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 21, 2026 Noah Rumley (2029, Summerfield, N.C.) got the ball for GBC Lopez 2029 15u in their final game of pool play and dominated, going up against a tough lineup in the East Cobb Astros. The 6-foot-2 left-handed pitcher ended up going five innings, allowing only one hit and one run, while striking out nine. It’s premium stuff at the 15u level as he worked easily in the upper-80s, topping at 90 mph in the first. The breaking ball showed two-plane shape in the upper-70s as well. There’s a ton of things to like already and even...

Ranked fifth nationally entering the tournament, Florida Burn 2027 Scout left no doubt who the best team was at the 17U BCS National Championship. Burn finished a perfect 9-0 tournament, earning an 11-1 semifinal victory before defeating No. 86-ranked Original Florida Pokers 2027 National, 9-1, Tuesday afternoon at JetBlue Park.

17u BCS Scout Notes: Day 1 Kenniel Nieves Medero (2027 SS, PR)  Nieves Medero put together another quality offensive showing, continuing the consistent production he displayed throughout the tournament. The 8.5 PG grade shortstop features quick hands and does an excellent job creating separation with strong hip rotation, allowing him to generate easy bat speed through the zone. The swing remains balanced and efficient with present feel for the barrel. A polished offensive profile with tools that continue to translate in game action.  Oscar Cambero (2027 3B, FL)  Cambero turned in an impressive offensive performance, smoking a triple into the gap while showcasing both speed and gap-to-gap power.

Texas Region Scout Notes

Geoff Billock
Article Image
Jack Soete (2028, Houston, Texas) had a big weekend for HP 2028 Woods. Went 4-9 at the plate with two doubles and a home run. Strong approach at the top of the order as well, drawing five walks. Closed stance with an athletic, projectable frame. Gains ground on the stride and stays on plane with his swing. Bat-to-ball ability is present and power should continue to develop. Lot to like from the athletic, left-handed bat. Kai Anderson (2028, Missouri City, Texas) was an absolute force for 2028 South Texas Sliders 16U Pierce. Went 4-8 with two doubles, six runs batted in, and a no-doubt walk-off home run in the semifinal. Some physicality in the frame. Leverages the upper half decently as he shows some ability to elevate with more than enough juice. Some pretty serious flashes as a middle of the order bat at the next level. Valentin Ceballos (2028, New Braunfels, Texas) was extremely loud...

Blaine Peterson

Jack Postma (2028, Barrington, IL) made an impression in Chicago this week. A 6-foot-5 right hander with a starter pitch mix. Topped out at 93 in his outing at UBC Midwest and pitched at 88-93 for 2 innings on the mound. Slider showed late horizontal bite at its best when finished out front. Change up is a usable third pitch with fading action and ability to miss bats. Clean overall operation in the delivery. Upside with added stability in the arm action.

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Mason Conner (2029, Palestine, Texas) was a force in the middle-of-the-order for Gold Culture. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a negative leg lift stride.
