College Notebook: November 14
Craig Cozart
North Carolina State Wolfpack 2025 Highlights: As they seem to do every year, Elliott Avent and staff pushed the right buttons and found the right pieces to put together another successful season. Despite massive losses to the draft after their 2024 run to the CWS, the Wolfpack grinded out 35 wins and finished 4th in the ACC regular season standings. It took the offense a while to establish its identity but eventually got cranking as they hit .291 and averaged 7.5 runs per game. The pitching rotation was well established, and the bullpen excelled with young arms. They secured an at-large bid as the 2-seed in the Auburn Regional where they reached the championship game before ending their season. Impact Returners: · Sophomore righty Anderson Nance (3.50, 8-2, 18 app, 1 save, 54.0 IP, 53:11 K:BB) lockdown long reliever with mid-90s heater and wipeout slider · Junior Ryan...

Perfect Game Champions Cup Stage 2 14U Division November 8-9, 2025 Pearland, TX Pearland, TX- It was an incredible weekend for softball in Pearland, Texas as 20 teams converged to compete. Through Saturday's heat and Sunday's wind, these teams played hard from beginning to end and our scouts were treated with some quality ball.

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....
