17u Tourney All-American Team

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 on the offensive side for the First-Team group, with players like Collin Bland who’s always liable for a big-time swing to leave the yard or AJ Curry who has some of best clutch-hitting traits in the class. To middle-infielders like Grady Emerson and Jacob Lombard who are poised to be Top 5 picks in the draft next summer, with Emerson in the conversation to go 1:1 in the eyes of some. These First-Teamers run deep with performance, seeing a bunch of them who produced on the circuit at every stop of the way, getting it done. Guys like Trevor Condon and Coleman Borthwick who have shown up and shown out on the circuit time-and-time again. If the past is any indicator, expect these numbers to continue as all of these players take the step to their respective next levels.



It’s hard to overlook these names, especially Cole Prosek, who takes home Player of the Year honors, with a .598 AVG, 1.523 OPS, 6 bombs, and 13 XBHs altogether, with 31 runs driven in. This all comes while walking 16 times, with just 8 punchouts on the circuit. He was named to the All-Tournament Team 5 times in all 5 of his big events he played in this year and was a Top Prospect at the PG National Showcase. Prosek really shined this year, earning his PG All-American honors along the way. The Ole Miss commit was a constant hitter in the eyes of evaluators and he’s ranked 31st in the class, and is the number 3 overall player in Mississippi. He’s got the traits to only continue trending upward at the next level.

On the mound, it’s another star-studded group, with big names at the top like Logan Schmidt who takes home Pitcher of the Year honors. He’s a storied name on the circuit, being a 12u, 13u, 14u PG Select Festival alum, and a 2025 PG All-American after re-classing up from the 2027 Class. Schmidt posted a 0.00 ERA over 16.0 IP with a gaudy 0.88 WHIP. He held the opposition to a .214 average and issued just 3 free passes with 29 punchouts on the circuit. The LSU commit was flat-out dominant, with his 3 All-Tournament Team Selections and impressive stats to pair. With his impressive performance this season, Schmidt has shown that he’s going to continue to impress as he moves to the next level after 2026. Schmidt is 14th ranked player in the class and is 2nd overall in California amongst the 2026 class.

Besides Schmidt, there’s a litany of performers across the First-Team and Second-Team lists. There’s six PG All-Americans on the First-Team list with a ton of talent across the board. Guys like Joseph Contreras who wow’d  the scouts with his performances at East Cobb on the circuit this year or Pablo Figueroa who made a name for himself with a 0.00 ERA over 13.1 IP, allowing just 1 hit. There was some other guys who made a name for themselves on the circuit, like Tyson Grulkowski who pitches his way from and Indoor Showcase to PG National and found himself on the fall circuit making waves with some really good performances at the Heartland Champions Cup and WWBA Jupiter. These arms are all players who have the traits to keep making noise at the next level.

Looking at both hitters and pitchers, it is hard to argue with what RJ Cope did this year on both sides of the ball. The massively physical 6-foot-8 lefty got it done on the mound and at the plate. He’s been a big-time arm on the circuit for years and put together some loud performances along the way, including a great outing in Jupiter. He also was one of the top hitters in this year’s group, getting it done at the plate as well. The Vanderbilt commit hit .394 with a 1.184 OPS and slugged 12 homers, plating 62 RBI to his credit as well. He tallied 73 punchouts over 60.1 innings on the mound as well. Cope was named to 8 All-Tournament Teams as well in 2025. 

All-in-all, it is not going to shock many that the 2026 class has been fun to watch with insane performances across the board. They have talent that is going to continue to shine for years to come, some of these names are players we will follow through the ranks of collegiate and professional baseball in years to come, and it all starts with some of these big-time performers listed below.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

Emily Hicks

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings. The defense backed the effort with great plays in the middle infield, preventing GBG Vegas from building momentum....

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

Following a jam-packed week of entertainment at the 17u WWBA Championships, the top nationally ranked program, USA Prime 17u National/Detroit Tigers Scout Team, faced off against Stacked Baseball 17u (No. 80 nationally) in the highly anticipated championship matchup as both teams looked to earn one of the most prestigious titles in all of travel baseball. Each talented squad entered the finale undefeated, but Stacked Baseball continued their dominance throughout the tournament, defeating the Detroit Tigers Scout Team 10-2 in mercy rule fashion to become national champions behind explosive bats and impressive pitching.

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk. '27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...

Texas Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74. North-south approach with a super steep release. Showed some really good feel for the zone and sequenced effectively to keep hitters off balance.
