New Perfect Game/WWBA Search Engine

Perfect Game and their new computer guru, Tim Barcz, has developed a search engine that enables you to search through all the Perfect Game and WWBA data bases for reports going back to 2001. It's great stuff and can be addictive. We encourage everyone to head on over to www.perfectgame.org and give it a try. If you would like to see your organization profiled on the WWBA website, please contact us at admin@worldwoodbat.com and we’ll start the information gathering process. TODAY’S PROFILE……….. THE FLORIDA BOMBERS The Florida Bombers are the two-time defending champions in the World Wood Bat Association National Championship, held every July at the East Cobb Complex in Marietta, Georgia. Looking at their roster for 2004, there’s a good chance that they will be favored to win a third consecutive title. The Bombers 2002 team was one of the top summer travel teams ever assembled, winning 50 straight games before losing their last two in the regional Connie Mack playoffs to finish an unbelievable 50-2. That team featured LHP-OF Camilo Vazquez, the WWBA National Championship MVP, along with infielders Gaby Sanchez and Marco Cabral, OF Willy Hernandez and RHP Chris Perez, to name a few. The 2003 team, with many carryover players, finished 42-8, again losing in the Connie Mack regional finals to end their season. Perez and Hernandez still starred and were joined by WWBA National Championship co-MVP Adam Davis, WWBA National Championship MVPitcher Sean Watson, 1B Andy D’Alessio, OF Warren McFadden, RHP Raudel Alfonso and RHP Pablo Lopez. The Bombers have traditionally drawn the vast majority of their players from the talent rich Greater Miami area but have begun to recruit across the state of Florida in the last year. Their coaching staff, sponsor, home fields and talent base still remain in Miami, though. The Bombers were founded in 1998 by current Head Coach Emilio Fernandez and current Pitching Coach Carlos Marti. The team only played in a couple specific tournaments the first two years before becoming a full-time team in 2000. During their first full season, they finished 41-9 and won the USABF National World Series. The key element in the Bombers expansion into a full-time operation was the willingness of South Florida businessman Rich Torcise to become the team’s sole sponsor. The Bombers top team award, the Sam Torcise Award of Excellence, is given in memory of Rich Torcise’s father, Sam, and is given to the player showing the best character. Fernandez, 29, is a graduate of Miami Southwest High School, Miami Dade Kendall CC and St. Thomas University in Miami. He also played 2 years of independent league baseball in the Northern League after helping lead St. Thomas to a 3rd place finish in the 1996 NAIA national championship. Marti is currently the pitching coach at national powerhouse Hialeah HS. Fernandez says the overall goal of the program is to get the players as much exposure to college coaches and professional scouts as possible so that they can continue to play baseball and compete at the highest level possible. The goal of the 2004 team is to get to the Connie Mack World Series in Farmington, New Mexico in August. Fernandez and Marti are joined on their staff by General Manager David Elder and assistant coaches John Hayduk, Freddy Pedrique and Angel Herrera. The Bombers have already had 31 players drafted in the professional draft over just a four year span, a number that could double soon just based on their current roster. 74 Bomber alumni have gone on to play college baseball at either the 4 year or junior college level. 11 players on the current 2004 roster have signed with Division I schools. The Bombers 2004 team could very well match or exceed the exploits of their past squads. How the draft treats the roster will be very important. Here is one possible starting line up and pitching rotation based on the Bombers roster as it appears on their website. SS Josh Johnson (Sr.) 3B Mark Ortega (Jr.) DH Brian Van Kirk (Sr.) 1B Billy Butler (Sr.) OF Warren McFadden (Sr.) OF Marcus Jones (Jr.) OF Lamar Guy (Sr.) C J.P. Arencibea (Sr.) 2B Jamile Weeks (Jr.) SP Ryan Webb (Sr.) SP Chris Perez (Miami Fr.) SP Manny Miguelez (Sr.) SP Eric Hurley (Sr.) SP Shawn Garceau (Jr.) RP Pablo Lopez (Jr.) RP Raudel Alfonso (Sr.)

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...

High School Preview Index Top 50 Breakdown: 50-41 | 40-31 30. Calallen (Corpus Christi, Tx.) 2025 Record: 35-2 Head Coach: Steve Chapman Notable Prospect(s): OF Drayton Mitchell (Texas State), LHP Coll Carroll (Texas State), SS Drayson Gamez (Midland College), 3B Lucas Saenz, OF Jimmy Tipton The 2025 season was one that saw the Wildcats win their fourth state championship under legendary Texas high school coach Steve Chapman. They were dominant from start to finish, ending the year with a 35-2 record and bring back most of their offensive production and the offense will be headlined by a pair of seniors who had great springs a year ago in Drayton Mitchell and Wyatt Duke. Mitchell was also one of the arms that they relied upon a year ago and dominated on the bump. Rounding out the rotation is another senior in Coll Carroll, a left-hander who’s been into the upper-80s in PG...
