Top Teams to Battle for 14U BCS National Championship

58 teams from 15 different states (and one team from Puerto Rico) will convene in Southwest Florida on June 22 to contend for the 2024 14U BCS National Championship.

Among the 58 teams, many rank in the top 100 nationally with rosters featuring prestigious and prominent prospects.



The top-ranked team coming into the tournament is the Broward Bengals out of Davie, Florida. So far in 2024, their record stands at 60-8, meriting a No. 3 national ranking and a No. 1 ranking in the FL/PR region.

This lethal roster features No. 61 Cam Rakaczewski from Greencastle, Pennsylvania. With an on-base plus slugging percentage at 1.168 and a batting average at .397 for 2024 so far, Rakaczewski is the No. 13 shortstop in the country for the Class of 2028.

Playing alongside Rakaczewski, No. 63 Chase Potter out of Davie, Florida will look to continue swinging a hot stick, riding some momentum he’s built up to this point in the circuit. He’s racked up an astonishing 46 RBI with a 1.042 on-base plus slugging percentage and a .372 batting average.

Other dangerous names taking the field for the Broward Bengals include No. 131 Ryder Sowa and No. 162 Braxton Williams.

This skillful squad will play their first game on June 22 at 10:15 a.m. on Field 3 in JetBlue Park against CBU Force.

Another team with a No. 1 regional ranking comes from Alpharetta, Georgia in the southeast. The TG DBacks Scout Team rank one spot behind the Broward Bengals nationally at No. 4, but this team packs an immense amount of talent, power and versatility with a multitude of recognizable names.

One of those familiar names is Brandon Perkins Jr. The outfielder from Bowling Green, Kentucky is ranked No. 1 in his state and No. 22 nationally - making him the top-ranked player competing in this tournament. In 49 at-bats in 2024, he’s only been struck out twice, managing a .388 batting average and a 1.066 on-base plus slugging percentage.

The TG DBacks Scout Team also includes No. 36 Andrew Cochran from Johns Creek, Georgia, No. 56 Hunter Elmore out of Moundville, Alabama and various other identifiable and exciting names that are sure to demand attention.

Their first opportunity to amaze will come bright and early at 8 a.m. on June 22 against the VSA Sluggers on Field 5 in JetBlue Park.

A couple other names that are sure to turn heads are No. 24 and No. 25, Brody Costantine from Deltona, Florida and Isaias Torres from Oviedo, Florida.

In 50 at-bats, Costatine has contributed 16 RBI so far in 2024 with a 1.125 on-base plus slugging percentage and a .320 batting average. He will take the field with Sports Academy Florida 14U at 10:15 a.m. on June 22 at Clemente Field in Terry Park.

Torres has proven himself in a big way in 2024, getting a lot of time in the box with 114 at-bats and maintaining a .386 batting average and 1.233 on-base plus slugging percentage. The third baseman has hit a staggering 47 RBIs, but will look to increase that stat even more with SBA 2028 Torres at 8 a.m. on Field 1 in the 5-Plex County Player Development Complex.

Each team will play 5 guaranteed games - weather permitting - from Saturday, June 22 until Thursday, June 27 when a national champion will be crowned.

Locked and Loaded 18U Teams to Clash for 2024 BCS National Title

An abundance of talent will be on display in Fort Myers, Florida June 23-27 as 16 teams from across the country duke it out for a national championship.

With the two highest-ranked players going into the tournament, Sticks National will be the team to watch. Their roster includes familiar names like Hunter Carns, from Jacksonville, Florida. The Florida State commit is the No. 11 ranked player and No. 1 ranked catcher in the country for the Class of 2024.

Also on this menacing team is outfielder Jacob Kendall from St. Augustine, Florida. Committed to the University of Florida, Kendall is playing up this weekend - coming into the tournament as the No. 45 overall player for the class of 2025.

These are just two out of a multitude of talented guys for Sticks National - first battling on June 23 at 10:15 a.m. against the 954 Boys on Field 5 in JetBlue Park.

Hot hitters might meet their match when they go up against 6’5, right-handed pitcher Brett Crossland from Phoenix, Arizona. The Texas commit is the No. 7 right-hander in the country for the Class of 2025. Though he’s only pitched 8 innings so far in 2024, he’s already struck out 13 batters - reaching high-90s with his fastball. Crossland’s arm will be a huge asset to Chi Town Cream in this tournament.

However, Crossland isn’t the only talent Chi Town Cream will be counting on. Duke commit Jayden Stroman from Medford, New York will look to be a threatening presence at the plate. Ranked No. 43 in the country, Stroman has an on-base plus slugging percentage of .847 for 2024 so far in 8 games played and 25 at-bats.

There are many other sensational names featured on Chi Town Cream, including South Carolina commit Bruin Agbayani from Mililani, Hawaii. Agbayani is the No. 70 overall player in the country and the No. 22 shortstop for the Class of 2025 - ranked No. 1 in Hawaii.

The dangerous team from Chicago will first go up against SWFL Phantom on June 23 at 8 a.m. on Field 2 at 5-Plex Lee County Player Development Complex.

Weather-permitting, each team will play at least 5 games. Play-offs will begin June 26 and a champion will be named on June 27 in a final game in the Lee Health Sports Complex Stadium.

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler

Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...

He hit almost .700 on the event with 7 of his 10 hits going for extra bases, while driving in 13, scoring 13 times himself, walking 8 times and no striking out in a single trip to the plate across 7 games. The blend of bat speed and pure strength, paired with his approach are that of someone who is much more mature, yet he’s doing it all at just 14 ½. He also jumped on the...
