Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

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 in the dugout for the first couple innings. Then I was having to get on them (my teammates)…I’ll yell at ‘em, I’ll be like, ‘ayo, start chanting,’ or ‘start saying something.’”

George’s prompts worked, as the TBT Phillies punched back right away scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the first. George, who went 3-for-3, was actually the first to bring in a run for his team, lining the first pitch he saw to bring home Jhunior Jose Cordero. 

“At the plate, I was just trying to do damage because the first two days, I didn’t have a single hit at all. That was kind of getting me a little upset. So today, I just tried getting all the hits to help the team when we were down in the first inning,” George explained.

A3 Academy Futures took the lead right back in the top of the second. Luis Charbonier knocked a runner in with a double, and Jaxson Werner brought in Charbonier with a single. 

TBT Phillies responded decidedly, scoring on a wild pitch, RBIs from Stephen Pio and Luca Briggs and a hit-by-pitch - making the score 9-4. 

The pace of the game became slow, with long at-bats and a lot of walks - testing the focus of both teams. 

Walks and wild pitches brought in two more runs in the top of the third for the A3 Academy Futures. 

The bottom of the third is when the TBT Phillies started to pull away - as Josh Pierre lined one up the middle, advanced on a wild pitch, and then came home off a bunt from Cordero which also brought in Pio after being walked. 

“If there was a runner on bases, just trying to get them in to keep scoring runs and win the tournament,” Cordero said. 

Cordero also pitched in the championship game. In 2.2 innings of work, he struck out 4 batters with 38 pitches - topping out at 84 mph with his fastball. When asked what was working for him, Cordero responded:

“Today was a lot of fastballs and changeups. My super wasn’t going good, so I had to throw my changeup good.”

The fourth inning showed the strength of both defenses - as neither team were able to get a run across. But by the bottom of the fifth, the TBT Phillies only needed one run to get the run-rule victory, which Cordero brought in with a ground ball to left field.

When asked about what’s helped Cordero stay consistently strong on the field, he said: 

“Just keep my mind focused on baseball, study, too and practice every day, too.”

George said this tournament was special for him as he gets used to his new team:

“I just joined TBT, and so, just getting to know everyone still a little bit has just been amazing… I just like playing with my teammates, really. Just us talking in the outfield. The wind was a little problem but we ended up solving it and it all worked out in the end.”

The next stop for this championship-winning team will be the 2026 14U PG Houston Super Regional NIT in Tomball, Texas starting on February 28 and ending March 2.

Carlo Rivero struck out the side in the final inning to secure a big quarterfinal win. Sat 87-89 & ball explodes out of the hand, CB & CH both dynamic go-to pitches as well. #WWBAWorlds @Florida_PG https://t.co/l8a4f1psyK — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 19, 2026 2031 SS/RHP Carlo Rivero (Apopka, Fla.) debuted in the rankings as the top player in the country, and he had widened the gap by a good bit after the fall he had, capped off by an unreal showing in West Palm Beach. He hit almost .700 on the event with 7 of his 10 hits going for extra bases, while driving in 13, scoring 13 times himself, walking 8 times and no striking out in a single trip to the plate across 7 games. The blend of bat speed and pure strength, paired with his approach are that of someone who is much more mature, yet he’s doing it all at just 14 ½. He also jumped on the...

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...

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

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...

PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The WWBA World Championship remains one of the premier events on the draft calendar as all 30 major league organizations descend on Jupiter to evaluate some of the top talent in amateur baseball. The event serves as a pivotal checkpoint in the scouting process, giving established prospects an opportunity to further elevate their stock while lesser-known names have a chance to put themselves on the radar of various organizations. This year was no exception, as several players made strong impressions and positioned themselves for increased attention heading into the spring. With that being said, let’s dive into a few draft risers and sleepers who stood out in Jupiter. Calum Andersen (‘27,CAN) had his A stuff working today running the FB to 96 mph with a devastating horizontal SL at 85 mph that can break bats. Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 PG Draft: Jupiter Draft Movers | Jupiter: Stars Being Stars Gets your reads in now because by the time you reach the end, some of the talent in this article might be giving their commitments to a college somewhere across the country. Every player below did something that caught out scout's eye and should certainly be on the radar for college coaches, if they aren't already.  Braxton Sykes (2028, Brunswick, Ga.) tossed a total of six innings down in Jupiter, collecting six strikeouts while failing to allow either a hit or earned run during his tenure on the mound. The 6-foot-2 right-hander showcased an impressive three-pitch mix with excellent feel to locate in every part of the strike zone.
