VSA Sluggers Take Comeback Victory for 14U BCS Qualifier

The VSA Sluggers persevered for the 9-8 victory over SBA Florida Scout Team 14U in Monday’s matchup in JetBlue Park’s stadium. 

SBA Florida Scout Team built up a 8-1 lead by the top of the sixth, but VSA Sluggers rallied by scoring 7 runs in the sixth inning to tie things up. The final run came on a walk in the bottom of the seventh.  



The VSA Sluggers showed how far their talent spread with five different hitters contributing an RBI. Left fielder Yandel Adan, center fielder Jayden Caraballo and extra hitter Sergio Silva III each knocked in 1, while second baseman Christian Arias and third baseman Anthony Avila both tacked on 2.  

Arias didn’t just put in the work on offense, but on the mound as well. The right-hander used low-80s fastballs and low-70s curveballs to strike out 3 batters over 2.1 innings.   

The VSA Sluggers won’t be traveling far, staying in Fort Myers with their BCS Qualifier title for next weekend’s 14U City of Palms Championship June 14-17.  


Scorpions South Florida Stings Ttp 2027 to Win 15U Championship 

The scorching Southwest Florida sun was no match for the fiery performance of the Scorpions South Florida, who blazed past Ttp 2027 with a commanding 10-3 run-rule victory. 

From the start, both teams executed communicative defense and powerful offense with 5 runs scored in the first inning.  

However, the Scorpions pitching was venomous with no antidote.  

Leading the defense was right-handed pitcher Dylan Ober. With 89 pitches in 6.0 innings, he struck out 5 batters and topped out at 78 mph.  

Igniting the offense with two stellar performances were shortstop Enzo Hernandez and catcher Brandon Omslaer, both going 1-2, smashing a double and scoring 2 runs for the Scorpions.  

As the fifth inning unfolded, the Scorpions unleashed a commanding offensive surge, racking up 4 runs with third-baseman Jayden Garcia's clutch single driving in 2 runs. 

A single from extra hitter Calvin Lee in the sixth inning brought Enzo Hernandez home and secured the win for the Scorpions in a run-rule. 

Next week, the Scorpions South Florida 2027 are heading to Jupiter, Florida to battle it out in the 2024 15U Perfect Game Jupiter Invitational June 17-20.  

Knight Knation Florida Shatters Diamond Level to Win the 16U Championship 

After an intense, back-to-back showdown, Knight Knation Florida showcased remarkable patience and unwavering dedication to clinch a 6-5 victory to bring down Diamond Level.  

It was a back-and-forth battle between the Knights and Diamond Level which exceeded into an extra 2 innings of play. Diamond Level confidently scored 2 runs at the top of the ninth putting them in a good spot, but the Knights Knation put on their armor.  

Right-handed pitcher Jordan Roberts threw 62 pitches, working consistently in the 75-79 mph range, to strike out 5 batters in 5 innings.  

“My strategy on the mound was just to throw strikes, compete and try to win the game,” Roberts said. 

Coming in as a reliever was right-handed pitcher and third baseman Brock Budreau, who pitched 3.1 innings, striking out 4 batters topping out at 85 mph.  

Budreau’s offense contributed greatly to the final score, going 2-4 with 2 RBI.  

Catcher Xander Arias and MVP Jasper Davis also tacked on an RBI each. 

The bases were loaded as right fielder Maddox Mullett stepped up to the plate. Mullett cracked the bat on an 81 mph fastball, shooting the ball into center field, driving in the winning run. 

“At bat, I was just trying to relax, I got two strikes quick then I knew I could handle the pitcher. Then, I got a pitch and I just flicked it and it went through,” Mullett said. “It’s the last game so it’s worth it to play the whole game hard and it was fun. I had a great time.” 

FTB Lime 18U Dominates for 18U PG Florida Select Championship

FTB Lime 18U took advantage of defensive miscues from FBA 17U to snatch the 10-2 victory on Monday in JetBlue Park.  

The past few days were catching up to everyone on Field 6 - the heat, humidity and the understandable fatigue that comes with getting your team to the championship match. While those factors weighed on FBA 17U, FTB Lime 18U repeatedly found windows to steal and score - steadily building their lead up to the run-rule win by the bottom of the sixth. 

It wasn’t easy, though, as right-handed pitcher Daniel Reyes explained how he handled one of this game’s many challenges.  

“Honestly, during this game, they were kind of getting to me with that chirping,” Reyes said. “I just had to block it out…I started singing in my head…” 

This method seemed to work for Reyes on the mound - as he racked up 7 Ks in 3 innings. He worked mostly in the mid-80s with his fastball, topping out at 87 and mixing in a high-70s slider. 

The reliever for Reyes, right-hander Sean Cabrera, pitched the other 3 innings, showing efficiency with 32 pitches thrown and 2 strikeouts. Cabrera used a low-70s fastball and low-60s curveball to get the job done.  

Cabrera also contributed offensively - knocking in 2 runners. First baseman Damian Leyva also tacked on 2 RBI. Right fielder and Gardner-Webb commit Nicholas Adrian notched 4 RBI on the game - the most out of his teammates.  

“It was really hard to keep the energy up,” Adrian said. “But you got to, to get here…we pushed through and we came out with the win. [We’ll] stay on a hot streak and hopefully win the next one as well.” 

FTB Lime 18U will be staying in Fort Myers for next weekend’s 18U City of Palms Championship June 14-17.

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. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

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...

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...
