Those were the only hits that the As collected off 3 League City pitchers. League City left the bases loaded at the end of the game after scoring a run on a single by C Brandon Huston. Charlotte Express 2, New York Yellow Jackets 1 (consolation) The Charlotte Express and the NY Yellow Jackets played to a 0-0 tie through 6 innings in the consolation round. The Express won the 7th inning 2-1 and the game. The Express scored 2 runs in the top of the inning, the first on a double by SS Dane Phillips, the second on a wild pitch. The Yellow Jackets answered quickly when DH William Hanlon and 1B Peter DElia opened the bottom of the inning with back to back doubles to make the score 2-1, but eventually left the bases loaded. LHP Rodney Quinn went the distance for the Express to get the win, allowing only 4 hits. Norcross Blue Devils 1, Central Florida Renegades 0 (consolation) The Norcross Blue Devils edged the Central Florida Renegades 1-0 in a pitchers dual between the Blue Devils Ty Morris and the Renegades Chris Garcia. The Blue Devils scored in the 2nd inning courtesy of a leadoff triple by LF Ryan Horton and a sacrifice fly by 1B Josh Ades as Garcia limited Norcross to only 3 hits. Morris was a little shaky in the first inning, allowing 2 hits but getting out of the jam with a double play. He settled down after that, striking out the side in the 2nd inning and never allowing a runner to reach third base. Austin Baseball Club 3, Brevard Stars 1 (consolation) Austin Baseball Club struck for 3 runs in the 6th and 7th innings to overcome the Brevard Stars 3-1. Rbi singles by CF Aaron Garza and 3B Kye Kolar were the only hits of each inning as Austin took advantage of walks and their speed on the bases. Clutch hits were hard to come by for Austin as they left 13 runners on base off 4 Brevard pitchers. LHP Brady Robbins pitched the final 4 innings for the win, allowing only a solo home run to the Stars 3B Sean Morrison in the 6th inning. Mobile Bay Sox 5, East Cobb Cardinals 3 (consolation) CF Josh Land and RF Bill Kleinschrodt each had 2 hits in the middle of the two Mobile Bay Sox rallies to lead the club to a 5-3 victory over the East Cobb Cardinals.

The Academy, which struggled to score all tournament, patched together 5 well timed hits to take advantage of wildness by the Puerto Rican pitchers to score their runs.

Dallas Panthers 4, Reno Aces 1 (consolation) RHP Chance Corgan opened the game with 4 scoreless, 1-hit innings for the Dallas Panther as they shut down the Reno Aces offense in a 4-1 win. Corgan dominated with a 88-90 mph fastball and sharp 77 mph curveball while striking out 5. The Panthers were hardly more effective offensively, but took advantage of walks and errors to score their runs. SS John Winston had a single and stolen base to set up one run and drove in another with a sacrifice fly while playing solid defense at shortstop. ABD Bulldogs 9, Diamond Devils 17s 6 (consolation) The ABD Bulldogs swept by the Diamond Devils 17s in one of the higher scoring consolation games, 9-6. SS Josh Satin led the attack, knocking 2 doubles, scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Leadoff hitter Joe Spiers stole 3 bases and scored 2 runs to set the table. SS Reese Havens paced the Diamond Devils offense with 3 hits and a walk. CF Trey Thomas drove in 2 runs with a double.

CF Bryan Parrish led Texass offense with 3 singles and a walk. Yard Dogs 8, South Florida Fever 0 (consolation) RHP James ODonnell left 8 runners on base over 5 innings to lead the Yard Dogs to a 8-0 victory over the South Florida Fever in a 6 inning time limit game.

14u BCS Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Austin Way (2030, Yulee, FL) was 2-3 in game four, driving in a run and scoring once himself. Picked it well defensively at shortstop but really showed out in the box today. Works the barrel path to the middle of the field and whips the barrel through the zone. The RHH creates lift in the turn, and the ball jumps off the bat hot.  Sutton Walling (2029, Ponte Vedra, FL) is an athletic 5’11/160lb infielder who gets it done on both sides of the ball. Dominated at the plate right behind his teammate Way in the batting order going 3-3 with two doubles. He does a really good job with the barrel accuracy and works through contact with heavy hands. Lots of project-ability in the profile and is having a sneaky great week at the plate. Banks Kennedy (2030, Arcadia, FL) received it well behind the dish and was the leading force in this one driving in three rbis. He ended up going 2-3...

2026 MLB Draft: Day One Recap

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Storylines Heavy College Run Early We came into the day knowing that there were a lot of talented college players at the top of the board, more specifically college bats. That came to light very early in the day, as we saw just two prep players selected within the first ten picks. The college preference lasted throughout most of the entire first round. Nearly 75% of the first 40 selections were college players. It is clear teams want players at the top of the draft that can quickly get through the system and help the big league club as soon as possible. Underslot Strategy Throughout this cycle, we knew that once you get past the first handful of picks the difference in value you were getting for let say pick ten was not that difference compared to pick 30. Because there was a large collection of players that are relatively close in value, teams were looking to get creative. We saw this...

Final 2026 MLB Mock Draft

Vincent Cervino

It's draft day and that means it's time for our final Mock Draft with the 2026 group. 1. Chicago White Sox | Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA It’s between Roch and Grady Emerson at this pick, though there have been heavy rumors of a very late deal potentially with another top 5 pick. This boils down to negotiations and we think that they will get there.  2. Tampa Bay Rays | Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (Tex.) If Grady isn’t the first pick then he is almost certain to be the second pick. The Rays like to get creative but Emerson is a well worth prospect in his own right.  3.  Minnesota Twins | Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech This is likely the floor for Roch Cholowsky, though the Twins might prefer Lackey to Roch outright. They are thought to be in on the top college players with Emerson a distant third.  4. San Francisco Giants | Jackson Flora, RHP, UC...

Ohio Valley Regional Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
‘28 INF Christian Ramirez (OH) WALKS IT OFF for @CincyDBulls2028 to win the chip! Has shown impressive tools throughout the weekend and in this AB showed the ability to adjust to the offspeed and win the game. #OVElite pic.twitter.com/J3MXJXFnbM — Perfect Game Ohio Valley (@PG_OhioValley) July 5, 2026 Christian Ramirez (2028, Mason, Ohio) helped his team win the championship batting out of the two-hole. Though he didn’t win tournament MVP, Ramirez was my favorite player to watch take a plate appearance. He has an advanced feel for the zone and sees the ball out of the pitcher’s hand quicker than most. Ramirez led the tournament with eight walks, batting .375 with a .583 on-base percentage. Much more than just the approach, the swing is efficient with little wasted movement, creates quality separation, and puts him in an excellent position at contact. With such an...

Cape Cod Notebook No. 1

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Cape Cod League Scouting Notebook  Maverick Rizy | Ole Miss | RHP | Brewster Whitecaps  The towering 6-foot-9, 250-pound right-hander continues to stand out with one of the more unique looks on the Cape, pairing a massive frame with a low three-quarter slot that creates difficult angles for hitters. While his fastball velocity was down from its typical mid-90s range during this look, working mostly 90-92 mph, it still generated plenty of swing-and-miss. He paired the heater with an 81-83 mph gyro slider featuring tight bullet-spin action and mixed in an 85-mph changeup with quality separation. Rizy battled his command early in the outing I saw, before settling in to strike out five over three innings, showing the ability to adjust as the game progressed. Through 12.2 Cape League innings, he has recorded 18 strikeouts, and his combination of size, deception, and projectability...

16u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 ‘28 C Nico Ayars (FL) coming off a monster game yesterday & comes up with the biggest swing of this one. A triple right down the LF line to drive in two. Came into today hitting .833 this week. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/Hvb7UvtkNi — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 8, 2026 Nico Ayars (2028, Fort Myers, Fla.) has just been on the barrel throughout the week so far, collecting six hits across the first four games of the tournament. That didn’t slow down on day three at Mt. Zion High School as he came up with the biggest swing of the day, hitting a triple down the left field line to drive in a pair. It’s been a standout week so far for Ayars and he’ll be a driving force behind the run through the tourney for CBU 2028 Scout Team Lawson. Rylan Jenkins (2028, Tennille, Ga.) put...

Tre Hallberg (‘27, AZ) hammers this out to deep LCF for a 2-run 💣. Continues to stand out at the plate. Power will only continue to develop #WWBAWest @PG_Uncommitted https://t.co/NlWlDygpwg pic.twitter.com/RHrgYXLmwm — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) July 10, 2026 Tre Hallberg (2027, Mesa, Ariz.) was nearly impossible to get out over the first two days of action, going 7-for-9 with a triple and a home run. A balanced right-handed swing stays compact to contact. There is quick hand speed through the zone with feel for the barrel. Hallberg has a strong feel to hit to go with power that continues to develop. The upside is apparent.  William Garcia Falmer (2027, El Dorado Hills, Calif.) collected a pair of mulit-hit games over the course of day one and two, going 5-for-7 with two doubles, a homer, and seven runs driven in. Garcia Falmer features a physical build...

Windy City Invite & Open Scout Notes: Part 1 Braedon Paczocha (2028, Palmyra, Wis.), a 5-foot-11, 180-pound frame catcher for GRB STiKS 16U Black, displayed a quick bat with the ability to do damage. Showed a good feel for the barrel throughout the weekend, hitting .538 (7-for-13) with 3 doubles, 8 RBI, 2 stolen bases, and a 1.376 OPS. Also received well behind the plate with quick, efficient transfers and displayed good instincts.    ’28 1B Brock Hamilton (IL) displays some present strength, driving this ball deep into the LCF gap to leg out a triple.
