Showdown Champs Crowned on Sunday

IMG Rolls to Another HS Showdown Title 

American Christian Academy went on an impressive run throughout the bracket, including an upset of nationally ranked Blessed Trinity (GA) in the first round. Their run culminated in a matchup with the #2 ranked team in the country in IMG Academy.  

Things started quickly for IMG with a quick one-two-three inning in the top of the first. The bats would get going quickly in the bottom half as they would put up a pair of runs on a big swing from Michigan commit Joshua Campbell. They would continue to swing it well in the bottom of the 2nd inning as well as MVP Sean Gamble would hit a triple into the gap to drive in another pair to make the lead 4-0.  



The third inning would go quickly with both teams not getting anything going on the offensive side and the arms starting to settle in.  

The fourth inning would be the inning that IMG really started to pour it on and get the eventual run rule victory in the 5th inning. Stanford commit Dillon Moss would get the fourth inning started quickly with a single into left field, his second of three hits on the day. Tennessee commit Nathan Eisfelder and Joshua Campbell would go back-to-back doubles later in the inning to continue a monster half. When the dust settled IMG had put up seven runs and were up 11-0 heading into the fifth inning.  

Oki Hosokawa would relieve Christopher Gist after some impressive innings and would retire the side in order to claim another title for the IMG Academy Ascenders, just a year removed from the first time they hadn’t won the championship at the High School Showdown.  


Parkview Pulls Off a Miraculous Comeback to Win the Red Bracket 

Both Parkview and T.C. Roberson had rolled into the championship, both putting together excellent runs in route to a matchup between two of the southeast’s top teams.  

The game started off quiet as the first inning came and went without much offense. Things would quickly change in the second inning as Ellis Appling would hit a triple into right field and would come around to score the next batter to open the scoring for Parkview. Things would go back quiet in the bottom half and through the third inning as both arms started to really settle in.  

The T.C. Roberson offense would start to pick things up in the bottom of the fourth inning as Caden Davidson hit a leadoff double and would later come in to score on a Chappy Smith single back up the middle. Another run would score later in this half as well and they’d come out of it with a 2-1 lead. T.C. Roberson would add on two more in the bottom of the 5th and one more in the bottom of the 6th, heading into the top of the 7th inning with a 5-1 lead after dominance on the mound from eventual MVP Micah Simpson.  

Things would start rather quickly in the 7th for the Parkview offense after a leadoff single from Ellis Appling. He would come around to score on a single from Miles Norman. An intentional walk of Malachi Washington later in the inning would load up the bases for Kennesaw State commit Emani Ford, who would drive in a pair to tie things up with a two-RBI single. After a strikeout, CJ Woolcock would step up and hit a clutch three run homer to make the score 8-5, the eventual final score after a quiet inning in the bottom of the 7th and Parkview won the Red Bracket.  

 
Hartselle Holds Off Hueytown to Claim White Championship 

Hueytown went on quite the run to make it to the championship game, upsetting top-20 national team in Wesleyan Christian in the opening game and winning two one-run games to get eventual matchup with Hartselle. The arms for Hueytown were the real story, especially Most Valuable Pitcher of the bracket Braden McCrary who threw the ball extremely well each time out.  

The feeling out process for the two teams in the championship game took an inning as the first went by smoothly with little traffic on the base paths. The Hartselle swung it well throughout the event and woke up in the second inning after getting a pair of walks and a single from Witt Crisler would open the scoring in the second inning.  

Things would go back quiet on the offensive side of things as starters Asher Doepel (Hartselle) and William Vaughan (Hueytown) were trading zeroes up until the 5th inning. Doepel would kick off the top of the fifth inning with a single into left field and would eventually come around to score on a double from Cruise Baker to extend the lead to 2-0.  

The top of the 6th inning would start quickly again for Hartselle as Cole Miles would hit a double on the third pitch of the inning and would come around to score on a single back up the middle from Carter Lee to make it 3-0.  

Hueytown would answer quickly in the bottom of the 6th inning. After an infield single to start the half inning, Samuel Vaughan would hit a triple into right field to make it 3-1. Only one pitch later a ground ball to the right side of the infield would bring in Vaughan to make it 3-2.  

Hartselle would bounce back as MVP Easton Nelms would hit a double to lead off the inning and would come around later in the inning to give them a little leeway heading into the 7th inning at 4-2.  

Doepel would continue his dominance in the 7th inning and roll through the side to win the championship and complete the dominant outing.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

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

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...
