PG College All-Americans

MORE: College Premium Blog | Subscribe to CB Ticket

OMAHA, Neb. -- It has been a special college baseball season in more ways than one.

Whether highlighted by the inclusions of Stony Brook and Kent State in the College World Series or a program such as Arizona vying for its first national title since the 1980s, it truly has been a season to remember.

Of course, all these moments were made possible by the outstanding play of several players from all walks of life and across the country. Today, many of those players are named 2012 Perfect Game All-Americans.

The PG First Team All-Americans list has a strong State of Florida flavor with Florida and Florida State combining for five players on the team. Catcher Mike Zunino and utility player Brian Johnson lead the way for the Gators, while first baseman Jayce Boyd, outfielder James Ramsey and closer Robert Benincasa are the headliners for the Seminoles.

The PG Second Team is spearheaded by an outstanding quartet of starting pitchers in Stanford's Mark Appel, Missouri State's Nick Petree, Texas A&M's Michael Wacha and Duke's Marcus Stroman. Meanwhile, the Aggies placed also placed outfielder Tyler Naquin on the team.

The PG Third Team is led by the Baylor duo of catcher Josh Ludy and starting pitcher Josh Turley, while Arizona's Robert Refsnyder and Kent State's Jimmy Rider both used impressive play in Omaha as a final push to become an All-American.

The National Pitcher and Player of the Year awards will be released at the conclusion of the CWS. We also will release our annual Coach of the Year award in addition to the PG Freshman All-America teams.

Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs.

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
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...
