College Field of 64: April 11



* Only two Big 12 teams in the field? Some Big 12 teams have plenty of time to play catch-up before the regular season comes to a close. However, for now, the league is in pretty bleak shape from a postseason standpoint. Oklahoma is the only slam-dunk postseason squad right now with a solid RPI of 21 to go with a 27-6 overall record. However, the situation with the other teams isn't so hot. For instance, perennial power Texas once again has work to do down the stretch to make the NCAA postseason. The Longhorns fell short of a huge series win over Oklahoma last weekend. UT has an RPI of 51 with a poor overall resume, sitting at just 7-10 vs. RPI Top 100 clubs. Kansas (62) and Baylor (82) are in similar situations with the Longhorns, while Oklahoma State has some serious work to do down the stretch with an RPI of 108. Meanwhile, Kansas State narrowly made the field to become the Big 12's second postseason club. KSU has an RPI of 70, a 24-10 overall record, but even it only has a 6-7 mark vs. RPI Top 100. There's also preseason favorite TCU, which has a dismal RPI of 140.

* Who was next in line for a national seed? In order, South Carolina and Oregon were the two teams considered for the final national seed spot occupied now by Indiana. The Gamecocks narrowly missed the cut, while the Ducks have a bit more work to do. The Gamecocks have an RPI of 10 with a very good overall record, along with a solid 8-4 Southeastern Conference record. Furthermore, the Gamecocks are 5-1 vs. RPI Top 25, 6-4 vs. RPI Top 50 and 10-5 vs. RPI Top 100. UO has an RPI of 8, but has much work to do from a resume standpoint. The Ducks lead the Pac-12 with a 9-3 record right now, but also are just 4-6 vs. RPI Top 50 teams along with a 9-7 mark vs. RPI Top 100. Despite finishing just outside the top eight, both clubs are within striking distance.

* Who was next in line for a host spot? Several teams were considered for one of the elusive 16 NCAA Regional host sites, but only four truly were on the cusp -- Arkansas, Mississippi State, UCLA and Clemson. Arkansas has a very solid SEC record and good overall record. However, the Razorbacks are hampered by an RPI of 47 at this point. The Hogs, otherwise, have a solid overall resume with six wins vs. RPI Top 25 and a respectable 13-8 mark vs. RPI Top 100. A home series win over LSU this weekend would go a long way in improving that RPI. Mississippi State is right behind the Hogs in the pecking order, but must improve its mark vs. SEC teams, sitting at just 5-7 in league play right now. Otherwise, like Arkansas, the Bulldogs have a solid resume with a six wins vs. RPI Top 25 and a 10-9 mark vs. RPI Top 100. UCLA has a respectable Pac-12 record, but must improve its resume with a 2-6 mark vs. RPI Top 25 and 9-9 record vs. RPI Top 100, while Clemson is 9-6 in the ACC, but only 5-7 vs. RPI Top 25 and 10-9 vs. RPI Top 100. San Diego is another team to watch down the stretch. The Toreros have a solid RPI of 29, along with a 13-9 mark vs. RPI Top 100. Also keep an eye on Rice, which has a decent overall resume, but only has an RPI of 56 at this point.

* Most impressive and surprising league thus far? The usual suspects lead the latest Conference RPI figures, with the ACC holding the top spot and the SEC holding the No. 2 spot. But what about other leagues that have been impressive so far this spring? Keep an eye on the Sun Belt and Colonial Athletic Association. South Alabama, Florida Atlantic and Troy each have good RPIs and solid overall resumes, while Louisiana-Lafayette, which has an RPI of 39, narrowly missed the cut, thanks in part because of its 6-9 mark vs. RPI Top 100 clubs. Also keep an eye on Western Kentucky (86) and Middle Tennessee State (51) down the stretch. Meanwhile, in the CAA, Delaware (37) and UNC Wilmington (33) are clear-cut postseason teams right now, while William & Mary (31) is right on the cusp with a 7-7 mark vs. RPI Top 100.

* How do the Conference RPIs stack up? According to BoydsWorld.com, the conferences, from an RPI standpoint, are like this in order: ACC, SEC, Pac 12, Sun Belt, Big 12, Big Ten, Big West, CAA, C-USA, Southern, Big East, Southland, WCC, Big South, MVC, Mountain West, Atlantic Sun, WAC, Ohio Valley, Mid-American, America East, Atlantic 10, MAAC, Ivy League, Horizon, Summit, NEC, MEAC, Patriot, Great West, SWAC.

Out of that group, biggest surprise? Sun Belt … biggest disappointment? No, question, it's the West Coast Conference at 13. The league actually has several good teams, with Gonzaga (68), San Diego (28), BYU (40) and LMU (48) leading the charge. However, St. Mary's (270) and Santa Clara (277) are dragging down the RPI.

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 400-500 300. Anthony Quigley, SS/3B, Northwest Florida State R-R, 6-5/215, Coral Springs, FL Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Anthony Quigley possesses a strong, physical frame with athleticism that plays in the box. There is bat speed through the zone with a feel to launch. The power stands out to the pullside. Quigley shows the athleticism on the defensive side, but is still likely best suited for third base at the next level.  301. Garrett Lambert, RHP, Mercer R-R, 6-2/200, Lilburn, GA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Garrett Lambert features a strong, athletic frame with a quality three-pitch mix.

Mason Bicht (‘29 PA) stays hot, nukes this ball to dead CF for a Grand Slam💣 clear juice being put on display today #WWBANEChamp@PG_Scouting https://t.co/l24AwJ8RnB pic.twitter.com/iYgNvJcD2M — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) June 13, 2026 Mason Bicht (2029 Lansdale, PA) was an absolute force offensively over the course of the WWBA Northeast Championship, ultimately ending his event with a well deserved most valuable player award. Finishing with a .571 BA including five doubles, a HR, and 14 RBI, the 6-foot-1, 210 pound prospect simply refused to get out, and was a major reason why his Philly Bandits squad walked away champs Monday afternoon. The stance for Bicht is relaxed and balanced with loose hands and plenty of bat speed to be found. He generates effortless carry to the pull side & middle of the field, flashing clear jump off the barrel with leverage created...

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs After Nine-Inning Battle After three and a half hours under the hot Florida sun, VSA Sluggers 18 and Swamp Baseball’s City of Palms Championship battle ended in fitting fashion, with both teams sharing the title. The two teams remained tied 9-9 through nine innings before lightning in the area brought the championship matchup to a halt Monday afternoon. The two local programs have built a competitive rivalry, with several close matchups stemming from their proximity and familiarity with each other. Their history was evident throughout Monday’s matchup as emotions ran high, resulting in several heated exchanges and the eventual ejection of Swamp head coach Brian Porvaznik. Just three weeks earlier, the two teams met in the championship game of the BCS Qualifier, where VSA earned a 6-4 victory. Swamp entered Monday’s matchup looking to flip...

Ian Long (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed pitcher, came out firing for Swamp Baseball and ran his fastball up to 87 mph through the first inning. Generates power well with his lower half and does a nice job getting down the mound. Filled up the strike zone early and showed the ability to work ahead in counts. Samuel Mendoza (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 5-foot-7, 155-pound right-handed pitcher, got the start for VSA and worked with a fastball in the low-80s. Mixed in a tight breaking ball that paired well off the heater and helped keep hitters off balance. Competed in the zone throughout his outing. Owen Augustine (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed pitcher, lived in the mid-80s with his fastball and made quick work of hitters. The ball comes out of his hand clean and he consistently attacked the strike zone. Showed confidence working...

Coastal Region Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff

James Propst (2031, Indian Trail, NC) stands at 5-foot-8, 150 pounds with a lean, athletic frame and developing strength. A left-handed hitter and thrower, Propst is a versatile utility player. He consistently makes hard contact and brings an aggressive approach to the plate. Staying connected throughout his swing, he works counts well and consistently produces quality at-bats. Propst had a great day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and a home run. Overall, he delivered an impressive offensive performance. Daniel Davis (2030, Columbia, SC) stands at 5-foot-11, 145 pounds with a lean, athletic build and room to add strength. He bats right-handed and throws left-handed.

14u WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2030 SS Cash Kelly (Franklin, Tenn.) is a buzzing name this summer as someone who is off to a fast start and looks the part as one of the better pure hitters in this class. He’s very comfortable in the box, showing an innate feel to find the barrel (and limit swing-and-miss) while the hands are fast and he can really accelerate the barrel. Defensively he has been excellent making plays look easy, showing nice range and enough arm for the left side. Add in the fact that he’s a strong runner and you have someone that can impact the game a ton. 2030 SS/RHP Trey Vandergriff (Milton, Ga.) got a couple innings of work at the back end of East Cobb’s first game and looked awesome, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced with big stuff. He sat 85-88, showing dynamic arm speed and a really athletic delivery, while the breaking ball feel stood out, showing he can land it in any...

MLB Draft Board: Top 500 400. Michael Barnett, RHP, UCLA R-R, 6-4/210, Lafayette, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Michael Barnett has started games over the last four years for the Bruins, including 44 starts over the past three seasons. The fastball does not overpower hitters, but can generate ground balls at a high rate. A heavy fading changeup is the primary secondary pitch and plus offering. Barnett will use it often and miss bats at a high clip with it. A low-80’s slider adds a third offering. Barnett does not generate a ton of strikeouts, but pounds the zone and fills innings.  401. Connor Marshburn, RHP, UNC Wilmington R-R, 6-6/240, Cary, NC Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Connor Marshburn features an XL frame at 6-foot-6, 240-pounds.
