Class of 2028 Tourney All-American Team

It’s to no surprise that these teams are chalked full of talented young prospects as many of the players ranked in the Top 100 of this class fill up both sets of Tournament All-American teams, but there are many individuals on these lists that aren’t yet ranked and performed at a level this year that is recognized. There are 100s of players deserving of being included in this exercise and it’s hard not to also recognize those, but this 80ish players was just one step above in terms of their pure stats and overall performance at a high level all year long.

This year’s Tournament Player of the Year Aiden Kearney was also named the Player of the Year at the 14U Select Festival, and his performance throughout the highest-level circuit is going to be difficult to match for years to come. Hitting .425 in the events he played on the best team in the country is no small feat, but he slugged 12 home runs and drove in 86 as well, a ridiculous line when thinking about majority of those long balls coming with wood. Kearney has transformed himself into one of the best prospects in the country and his year on the tournament circuit is one that shows us he may be just scratching the surface too.



The Tournament Pitcher of the Year, Luke Esquivel, plays on that same SBA Bolts National team that is on a historical run of winning games, and events, and he got the ball in a big spot in just about every one of those championships. Finishing the year with an ERA under 1.00 (0.97) at the 14U level is outstanding, and he did so by striking out 74 in 50 innings and walking just 12. His pitchability is as good as it gets at this age, not to mention he’s plenty capable with the bat as he was the Two-Way Player of the Year at the 14U Select Festival.  

Player of the Year: Aiden Kearney, SS, Winter Park (FL)
Pitcher of the Year: Luke Esquivel, LHP, Grapevine (TX)

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

Hannah Jo Groves

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

High School Preview Index Top 50 Breakdown: 50-41 | 40-31 30.

They were dominant from start to finish, ending the year with a 35-2 record and bring back most of their offensive production and the offense will be headlined by a pair of seniors who had great springs a year ago in Drayton Mitchell and Wyatt Duke. Mitchell was also one of the arms that they relied upon a year ago and dominated on the bump. Rounding out the rotation is another senior in Coll Carroll, a left-hander who’s been into the upper-80s in PG...
