College Top 25: Final Update
Vincent Cervino
With a postseason run for the ages, the Oklahoma Sooners (43-23) took home the National Championship and naturally finish the 2026 season as our No. 1 team in the land. It is the third national title for the Sooners, playing in their 12th CWS and making their fourth championship series appearance. They add to previous national titles won in 1951 and 1994 and did it by taking the most difficult path of any team in this year’s tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, Oklahoma took down national seeds, No. 2 Georgia Tech twice, No. 3 Georgia twice, No. 5 UNC twice, No. 7 Alabama and No. 15 Kansas twice. This was the second time that head coach Skip Johnson has led the Sooners to the CWS Championship Series since 2022 and the first time he has taken home the crown. The North Carolina Tarheels (54-14) was one win away from their first national title and finish...

"Why not us?" Canes MW Take 14u WWBA
Kinley Kitchens
Every championship team has an identity. For Canes Midwest 14U National, it could be summed up in three simple words. "Why not us?" That became the team’s motto throughout the week, and by championship day, the players had turned those words into reality. Canes Midwest capped off a memorable tournament with a 8-4 victory over Canes National 14U, finishing an undefeated 11-0 run over six days while proving they belonged among the nation’s top teams. It was a championship built on timely hitting, dominant defense, relentless grit, and a belief that never wavered. For Coach Steiner, the title represented far more that simply winning another tournament. “It has been an unbelievable experience for us,” Steiner said. “Some people call us a mid-major, so I guess we are now solidified as being one of the top programs in the country.” That belief carried the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 #Aggies commit William McIntire (‘27, TX) struck out ten and allowed just a run over five innings of work. Operates from an athletic med RH frame w/ length + projection. Got the FB up to 88 w/ run/ride traits + late ASR. Mixed in a pair of BBs, including a sharp 10-4 SL (75-76)… pic.twitter.com/xrjyxFbu19 — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 27, 2026 Texas A&M recruit William McIntire (’27, Boyd, TX) was dominant over his five-inning outing, striking out ten while allowing just an earned run. McIntire operates from an athletic medium frame with length that points to projection. He starts over the face before working into a high compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a quick compact arm action and high three-quarters slot. The Aggies commit got a run/ride fastball up to 88 with feel for the...

WWBA Ohio Valley Championship Notes
Jordan Gates
‘28 SS Jimmy Sequin III (MI) checks in as one of the top players in the state & T500 nationally 📈 Hammers this 2B down the line. Good athleticism & twitch. Surefire UTM on defense @ SS. #OVWWBA @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/Qy21I2jJsU — Jordan Gates (@JGatesPG) June 17, 2026 Jimmey Sequin (2028, Midland, Mich.) Had the chance to see one of my favorite 2028’s in the Ohio Valley region and he did not disappoint. In five games, he hit .500 with six hits, including four doubles out of the leadoff spot. Sequin III is a quick twitch, hyper quick prospect that sees his time at shortstop. Although there is present arm strength, projects slightly over to the right side of the field. Despite the smaller frame, he absolutely packs a punch. Shows the ability to burn on the bases and has exceptional bat-to-ball skills. Compact stroke that creates length and shows solid...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 ‘27 SS Leo Nockley (PA) shows off the bat speed here as he sends a rocket to the opposite field for a solo HR. Profile littered with tools, one of the top SS’s in the nation for ‘27. #Vols commit @PGMidAtlantic #WWBA pic.twitter.com/i9BfKo9W1S — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 26, 2026 Tennessee commit Leo Nockley (2027, Plains, Pa.) had just a flat-out ridiculous day at the plate for Northeast Pride 27 National in their double-header. He got the day started with a backside bomb in game-one that he knew he got right off the bat. Nockley would then follow it up with a two-homer performance in game-two, one to right-center and one to left-center. The ability to hit the baseball hard to all parts certainly stands out, he runs well and can pick it up the middle. There’s a ton of boxes here that get checked...

Fast and Furia at 14u WWBA
Kinley Kitchens
Every successful team has talent, but the teams that make great summer ball runs often have something more. For Furia Prospects 2030, that difference has been a consistent commitment to playing for one another. The Texas-based team earned a 4-0 victory over East Cobb Astros 14U to secure their spot in the semifinals, combining dominant pitching with timely offense and another complete team performance. Christian Choe set the tone on the mound, allowing just two hits while striking out three over 4.2 innings before Blaine Jackson closed out the final four outs to preserve the shutout. At the plate, Brody Peterson paced the offense with a 2-for-3 performance and two RBI, while Mark De Leon and Jancarlos Nunez each drove in a run. Through these tournament games, Peterson has emerged as one of the team's most consistent hitters, batting .750 while continuing to deliver in key moments. Yet...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 100-299 | 200-299 | 300-399 | 400-500 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the...
