Central Arizona on Sidelines
As JC Playoffs Intensify

Playoffs at almost every level of the junior-college world—state, region and district—begin (or continue) in earnest this week at locations all over the country, but one team in particular will be noteworthy because of its absence from post-season play.

Central Arizona College, which began the 2013 season at No. 1 in Perfect Game’s ranking of the nation’s Top 50 junior college teams, has already been eliminated from further competition leading up to the 2013 Junior College World Series. The Vaqueros (43-15) finished atop the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference regular-season standings, but failed to even advance past the first round of the four-team Arizona (Region 1) junior-college playoffs, losing in two straight games of their best-of-3 semi-final series to South Mountain.

With their unexpected loss, Central has dropped from No. 4 to No. 26 in PG’s latest ranking of the Top 50 teams (through games of Sunday). No. 41 South Mountain (38-20) will take on No. 20 Cochise (44-15) later this week in another best-of-3 series to determine Arizona’s representative in the Western District championship, which will also include teams from Regions 9 and 18. The winner of that tournament then advances to Grand Junction, Colo., May 25-June 1, to participate in the Junior College World Series—or National Junior College Athletic Association Division I national championship.

National championships will also be contested in Division II (May 25-June 1 in Enid, Okla.) and Division III (May 25-30 in Tyler, Texas), and playoffs at those levels will also intensify this week. California junior colleges are not members of the NJCAA, but 16 teams from an original field of 36 will advance to Super Regional competition later this week, with the state’s Final Four set for May 17-19 in Fresno.

Considerable national attention is expected to be focused on Lakeland, Fla., beginning Friday, when eight teams from that state will compete for the Region 8 championship, with the winner qualifying for the Junior College World Series. That regional should be hotly contested as it involves the top three teams in PG’s Top 50—No. 1 Miami-Dade College (35-8), No. 2 Tallahassee (46-8) and No. 3 State College of Florida-Manatee (42-10).

This weekend, teams from all around the country in the 10U, 12U and 14U divisions will converge on the Houston area for the 2026 PG National All-State Select Championships. The 10U division will have 22 teams, 12U will have 23 and 14U will have 22. All ages have many different states represented - from Hawaii, to the Pacific Northwest, to Arizona, to New England, to Carolina to Florida and many more. “National All-State brings together the best players in the country across Houston,” national crosschecker and northeast scouting director, John McAdams, said. “It’s a fun atmosphere for ultimate bragging rights amongst all the regions the PG platform reaches domestically while serving as a good litmus test for myself, Jheremy Brown and Tyler Russo to see the players. We get another glimpse at the end of the year as we start to formulate our initial thoughts on the...

PG Draft Content Hub With the fall season winding down and the winter months approaching, it is time for another draft board update.  After getting more live looks and gathering information from the fall action across the country, we have expanded the board to a Top-200. The class continues to feature an intriguing mix of arms from both the prep and college ranks, along with an enticing position player pool.  There is still plenty of time for new names to emerge and established prospects to continue to improve their draft stock, but here is where things stand as we head into the winter.  * denotes draft eligible sophomore Rk.

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 70

Ron Wolforth

That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now   The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing.  They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...
