PG Champions Cup Stage 1 18U Division

PG Champions Cup Stage 1

Pearland, Texas

Oct 11-12, 2025

 

PEARLAND, TX- It was a perfect weekend for softball out in Pearland last weekend. The weather was right, the competitors were ready, and some great softball was played at each age division. Thirty-two teams converged on the Sports Complex at Shadow Creek Ranch in three age divisions to battle it out to see who the Champions Cup victors would be. Below we highlight some of the top performers and standout players from last weekend’s action.



18U Division

 

Avery Castaneda (2026, Cleveland, TX) of the Bombers Gold HTX-Castañeda was one of the most dominant pitchers last weekend. She led the tournament with 16.1 innings pitched and led the tournament in ERA and strikeouts. She finished with a strong 0.90 ERA and struck out 20 batters and only walked three. One notable performance on Sunday was her complete game shutout vs. the CyFair Sting where she struck out six and helped herself on offense with a 2 RBI triple. She was an impressive two-way player who showed incredible athleticism and deception with her pitches.

Reagan Rouse (2028, Needville, TX) of the TSF Elite 18U Gold-Juarez was one of the hottest hitters on the weekend. Recording a hit in all but one of their games, she truly proved her consistency in the box and came through big time for her team. This right-handed hitter tallied seven hits in ten at-bats, finishing with a .700 batting average. She battled through at-bats, showing good barrel control and making things happen when her team needed her. TSF Elite 18U Gold-Juarez was one of the top hitting teams in the tournament and Rouse was a big part of that.

Alliah Rodriguez (2028, Friendswood, TX) of the TSF Elite Williams was incredibly effective for her team last weekend. In the leadoff spot, she set the tone for her lineup and was a constant force on the bases. She finished her weekend batting .611 and drew three walks. She did a great job having scrappy at bats, allowing her team to see more pitches. She is an exciting player to watch, as she brings great energy to the field and her competitiveness shows in each at-bat.

Eve Puzon (2028, Bellaire, TX) of the Hustle National 18U was the leading hitter for her team last weekend. She finished the weekend batting .556 and showed her power with three doubles and a triple. This strong right-handed hitter generates some solid barrel whip and has the ability to drive the ball to all fields. Her hands are fast enough to turn on the inside pitch well, yet she has the awareness to go with the outside pitch.

Bella Tacheny (2027, Seabrook, TX) of the TSF Elite Gold Wall 18U put on a showcase of power and consistency last weekend. She got a hit in all but one game, finishing with a .466 batting average. She proved to be an incredible clutch hitter, driving in five runs for her team, including three homeruns and a triple. This right-handed hitter has an athletic stance and swing and generates a good amount of barrel whip. She utilizes her bottom half well and was definitely seeing the ball well.

Kylie Sazera (2026, Sargent, TX) of the TSF Elite 18U Gold-Juarez had an impressive weekend with her squad in the Champions Cup. Defensively, this short stop impressed with her smooth glove, quick first steps, and her canon for an arm. Offensively, she showed great consistency in the box, finishing the weekend batting .500. This right-handed hitter showed her ability to pop extra base hits, tallying two doubles and two triples on the weekend.

Keilee Brown (2027, Kingwood, TX) of the Texas Glory 18U HTX may have only played on Saturday at the tournament, but she left her mark. She hit an incredible .900 on the day in their four games. She has a powerful barrel and her results were proof. She tallied two doubles, two triples, and two homeruns. She also stole three bases for her team and drove in three runs. In the leadoff spot, she set the tone for her team to go undefeated on the day and was impressive to watch.

Madison Cox (2027, New Caney, TX) of the Texas Glory 18U HTX had an incredible weekend at the plate. She finished her tournament hitting .684 racking up 13 hits. She drove in six runs for her squad and was an extra base hit machine. She tallied five doubles, a triple, and a homerun.

Ariana Martinez (2027, Pearland, TX) of the TSF Elite Gold Wall 18U was on FIRE last weekend. She finished the weekend going 8-15, batting .533. She drove three triples on the weekend and came in clutch for her squad with eight RBI’s. She did a phenomenal job with her contact points, showing the ability to drive the ball to all fields and hit it where it is pitched. She is built strong and has massive power and pop in her barrel.

 

Some other players to note from last weekend…

 

Adrianna Hernandez (2026, Brazoria, TX) of the TSF Elite 18U Gold-Juarez had an incredible offensive weekend. This committed senior finished the tournament batting .461 and tallying seven RBIs for her team.

Jazlynn Wimbush (2027, Houston, TX) of the TSF Elite Williams had a strong weekend at the plate. She finished the tournament with a .466 batting average and the highlight would be her three doubles in one game. She tallied four RBI’s for her squad and scored twice.

Aubrey Ramirez (2026, Katy, TX) of the TSF Elite 18U Gold-Juarez had a solid weekend at the plate. This committed senior finished her weekend batting .400 and knocking in four runs for her squad. She showed some power, belting two doubles and a triple as well.

Fabianna Marcano (2026, Spring, TX) of the CyFair Sting 18U batted .455 on the weekend with a triple. She led the team with hits and drove in two RBI’s.

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division. We would like to thank those that donated a toy, and know that they will be distributed to area underprivileged children through a local charity organization. Following are some of the top performers from the weekend. Earning Tournament MV-Pitcher was Jolee Strohmeyer (2026 Dubuque, IA), a RHP/UTIL with tournament champion Lady Expos Blue. Strohmeyer shows hitters a consistent and repeatable motion and delivery with good use of the legs in the drive phase, and a quick and aggressive arm whip. Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement  as she worked her rise and curve just out...

MVPitcher: Duncan McLeod The uncommitted junior toed the slab in three of the four games for Team Mick, tossing 3 2/3 innings.  Zero walks, zero hits and 6 punchouts for the lefty who was used both as a starter in the series clinching game 4 and he closed out game 3 on Friday in quick fashion.  McLeod was very efficient as well, needing just 42 pitches over all his outings.  In the game 4 start, over two innings he punched out 3, with one strikeout with all of his offerings.  The mid 80’s fastball regularly played up, set up with efficient use of the secondaries, with the breaking ball 73/74 and fading change-up 72-74.   Owen Bone (2026) at it again... Solo shot in the 5th to tie things up. Back to back days with a home run for Bone. #PGHS pic.twitter.com/2JC9qETI5h — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) December 13, 2025 MV Hitter: ...

13u Tourney All-American Team

Article Image
What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort.  As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and...

14u Tourney All-American Team

Player of the Year: Asher Williams It was an incredible year for Williams that was rewarded with a trip to the 14U Select Fest, before some more impressive play in the fall. He came to the plate almost 250 times in PG tournaments throughout 2025 and reached base in well over half of them, hitting to a .500 AVG while slugging a 14U circuit best 12 bombs and driving in 113 runs. The numbers on the surface are ridiculous, but when you look at the high-level events he put them up in, it makes it even more impressive. Pitcher of the Year: Tristan Blalock Blalock earns this honor after a dominant 2025 where he struck out 85 batters in just 48.2 innings of work with a minuscule 1.58 ERA. This included several strong performances at many national level tournaments and showcases where he was able to bully some of the best hitters in the country. It’s hard not to fall in love with...

PG Draft: Gut Feel Guys

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While we are nearing the turn of the calendar to the 2026 year, that means we are just inching closer to the beginning of the season for many high school players and college baseball is on the horizon. We are prepping for a reshuffle of the 2026 MLB Draft Board as well here amongst the PG Draft staff. But before we get to that, we sat down and have each picked a couple of players who are in the mix to get selected in a couple of different buckets.  We have prospects who could go into the Top 30 picks or so, prospects who could be selected in the Top 5 rounds, and prospects who could go inside of the Top 10 rounds. With the draft quite far down the road and a lot of re-shuffling to be done as these players play themselves into certain spots on the draft board, our scouts picked some players who fit into these “buckets” who are gut-feel guys. These are the guys that our PG...

Hitter of the Year: Landon Bonner The 2028 class saw many players from across the country take the next step in their development as they entered the High School ranks. There were huge performances from highly ranked players on the PG circuit as well as some under-the-radar guys who burst onto the scene. Landon Bonner came into Sophomore National as a Top 500 ranked player and after an impressive showing, left with all eyes on him as a rankings riser in the class. The left-handed hitting shortstop from The Colony, Texas, had a summer to remember with All-Tournament Team selections in three of his next four events culminating with a historic performance at the 2025 PG 15U WWBA National Championship. The Hebron High School prep went 20-for-24 in nine games for 5 Star Mafia 15U Black with four homeruns and 12 runs batted in. He also scored 17 runs and finished with a mind-boggling 2.500...

16u Tourney All-American Team

Hitter of the Year: Koa Romero is the Hitter of the Year for the 16u group, as he would come to every premier event of the summer and earn All-Tournament honors (Beast of the East, 16/17u WWBA, Jupiter) in every single one. Over 82 plate appearances, Romero would pump ten homeruns with forty two RBI and sixteen walks, good for a .378 average and 1.339 OPS. The performance on volume at the best events of the year pushed Romero over the edge here, as he’d hit a pair of homeruns in Jupiter (one of them at 112 EV) as an underclassmen and collect double digit hits in BOTH WWBA events with a combined six jacks over the two tournaments. It was a summer that combined performance and winning on the biggest stages for Romero. It’s a quiet left-handed swing that packs a punch. He would reap the benefits of his performances, earning a commitment to LSU and jumping to the #74 prospect in...

Tucker Rice (27 MS) bumping up to 91; living hi-80s from real fast arm. Good SL @ 77-79 w/ depth & sold w/ intent. Loads of traits & strikes. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @PG_DeepSouth pic.twitter.com/DEjFqRcsIY — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 6, 2025 Tucker Rice, RHP, Class of 2027 Commitment: Alabama Alabama has continued to stay red hot in the recruiting trail ever since August 1st rolled around on the calendar and have continued to stack major pieces in their ’27 class. They dip into Mississippi to land one of the premier arms and one that’s stood out on the circuit for quite some time. It’s a fast arm and the athleticism certainly shines working down the slope. The velocity has continued to tick up over the last calendar year and reached into the low-90s towards the end of the summer. He’s confident in his changeup and the breaking ball is...

There’s a lot of talent throughout this 2026 class, filled with the big-name stars, to talent that spreads across the nation. It’s been a lot of fun seeing these prospects grow and develop over the years, from the days of watching some of these guys at the 13/14u days at events on the circuit, to now where they are all graduating seniors in 2026. There’s been new faces who have popped along the way over the years, even in 2026, where some players who were relatively undiscovered, have come out and made a name for themselves with a statement performance. Between the familiar and the new, there’s a lot of names on this list that are going to be quite regularly talked about on the circuit, and for good reason.  Whether it’s PG All-Americans or not, there’s a lot of names with superstar potential at the next level. We’ve got 14 PG All-Americans...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things.  C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag. Add-in a rocket for an arm, the ability to change slots and to...

Scout Stories: Part 5

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...
