14u Select Festival Turns Ten
Jheremy Brown
You want to talk about something surreal? Back in 2016, we put together a roster of 40 players, divided to 20 apiece between East and West, with no qualification other than "play in one Perfect Game event" and all players must be born after May 1 of 2001. On top of that, there were significantly less national events at the 14u level, consisting almost exclusively of the 14u WWBA and the 14u World Series, with some other events sprinkled in and players who were eligible, playing up at 15u and 16u events. On top of all that, we turned around rosters in a super short time frame, a far cry from the year long process it's become now, never mind the fact that you can find a 14u event somewhere in the country on any given weekend. Do the quick math and you realize the 2025 14u Select Festival marks year 10 of the event and since that first pitch in 2016, things have continued to evolve,...

Perfect Game Champions Cup Stage 2 18U Division
Perfect Game Champions Cup Stage 2 18U Division November 8-9, 2025 Pearland, TX Erin Williams It was a great weekend of softball in Pearland, Texas last weekend. Fifteen teams converged in the 18U six-game guarantee tournament to compete in front of a solid group of college coaches. The standout team of the weekend was the Strykers Premier 18U who went a perfect 8-0 on the weekend. Below we recap some of the impressive performances in the 18U division. Naomi Cruz (2027, Santa Fe, TX) of the Strykers Premier 18U is the kind of athlete who doesn’t just show up, she shifts the momentum when she steps on the dirt. With a rare blend of power and precision, she’s hitting at a scorching pace for Strykers Premiere, stacking a .436 average over eight games. She came in clutch on many occasions, driving in five runs for her team and belting two doubles. On defense, she’s...

MLB Mock Draft: November 13
Tyler Henninger
With our first iteration of the draft board released last week, we took a stab at our first mock draft this week. Now it is only November, the draft lottery has yet to happen and we do not know the official draft order yet. Instead we ran a simulated lottery. But before we get into that, there are a couple things to address. The Rockies received a lottery pick in the last two years so they are ineligible to get one this year. The Nationals and Angels are not eligible to receive a lottery pick back to back years because of their role in the revenue sharing process, so they can’t receive one either. That means the Rockies, Nationals, and Angels will be selecting 11th, 12th, and 13th respectively. We also know the Dodgers, Blue Jays, Mets, Yankees, and Phillies will all have their first selections drop 10 spots after exceeding the second competitive-balance tax threshold....
