CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – 2009 Perfect Game All-American Kris Bryant was selected second overall by the Chicago Cubs in the 2013 MLB Draft. Bryant was the starting third baseman from the West squad that year, a native of Las Vegas, Nev. that attended Bonanza High School.

Bryant, whose season ended Sunday with a loss to UCLA in NCAA postseason Regional play, posted eye-popping numbers this season for the San Diego Toreros and is considered to be the favorite to win the prestigious Golden Spikes Award (as well as Perfect Game's own College Player of the Year), annually awarded to the nation's top college player.  He hit .329 while leading the nation in home runs (31), runs (80), total bases (187), slugging percentage (.82) and walks (66).

Selected ahead of Bryant was Stanford's Mark Appel, a participant of Perfect Game's prestigious National Showcase in 2008, held at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn.

Overall, 21 former Perfect Game All-Americans were selected on Day 1 of the 2013 draft, 18 of which participated in the 2012 Classic.  Notable picks that played in the 10th annual version of the Classic last summer include first baseman Dominic Smith (11th overall/Mets), the New Balance Prospect of the Year, lefthanded pitcher Rob Kaminsky (28th overall/Cardinals), the Baseball America Pitcher of the Year, and outfielder Clint Frazier (5th overall/Indians), the Jackie Robinson Player of the Year.

Twelve more All-Americans were selected on Day 2 of the draft, seven of which played i the 2012 Classic, bringing the two-day draft total to 33.

On Day 3 of the 2013 MLB Draft, 24 more PG All-Americans were selected, bringing the three-day total to 57.

On the first day of the draft, the top two rounds, 61 total former PG participants were selected (84 percent) among the top 73 picks.  Of those 73 picks, 35 had previously attended a Perfect Game National Showcase event (48 percent).

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 300-399 | 400-500 200. Hudson Devaughan, RHP, Mooresville HS R-R, 6-4/195, Mooresville, IN College Commitment: Alabama Hudson Devaughan features a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. The fastball works up to 96 mph with more to come. It is thrown on a downhill plane. A sharp curveball pairs well off of it and can miss bats.

Cole Stokes, RHP, Florida State R-R, 6-6/230, Redondo Beach, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Cole Stokes is an imposing 6-foot-6 arm with loud stuff too.

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 An extended look at '27 LHP Connor Salerno (NC)... #WWBA @PG_Coastal https://t.co/A7OLjivIFW pic.twitter.com/rEA9pMizg8 — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 25, 2026 Connor Salerno (2027, Indian Trail, N.C.) looked his usual self, dominant, in his one inning of work on Wednesday afternoon. The big-bodied southpaw got the ball in a short relief outing and continues to show why he’s ranked as the #1 pitcher in the class. The fastball has explosive life out of the hand and comes out easy, working in the 93-95 range, up to 96 mph once. He rounds out the mix with a firm slider in the mid-80s along with a changeup in the same velo range with arm-side fading action. The Mississippi State commit is a proven strike thrower with premium stuff and is one of the highest follows of the summer for professional scouts. Grant Sperandio (2027, Houston, Tx.) was...

Gulf Coast Edge has continued to build momentum in championship play this week, advancing behind a combination of timely offense, strong pitching, and contributions throughout the lineup. After grinding out a 4-3 victory over Canes American 14U to open bracket play, Gulf Coast Edge followed with a dominant 13-1 playoff win against Knights Baseball 14U National to secure their spot in the tournament bracket. The team features nationally ranked talent throughout the roster, but its recent success has been fueled by players embracing their roles and finding ways to contribute in key moments. Two players who embody that balance are outfielder Brayden Nims and fellow outfielder Nolan Richardson. Nims has helped lead the charge offensively as Gulf Coast Edge has advanced through the bracket. One of the most highly regarded players in the country, ranked No. 9 overall nationally and the No. 4...

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...

When the summer season arrives, every team is searching for momentum. For ZT National Prospects, that momentum has come from throughout the lineup. After clinching their spot in bracket play with back-to-back victories, including a 16-0 win over Team Elite Scout 14U Black and an 8-0 victory against Hawaii Elite 2G 14U Black, ZT National Prospects have continued to showcase why they entered the week as one of the premier teams in the tournament. The roster is loaded with talent, including six players ranked among the top 50 players nationally in the 2030 class, but the team’s success has come from much more than individual achievements. In the opening bracket game on Tuesday, nine different players drove in runs as ZT National rolled to a 16-run victory. The balanced offensive attack continued in the playoff game, with six different players recording RBIs in an 8-0 win that helped...

The spring has come to a close and with the summer in full swing, it’s time to crown a National Champion for the High School season. The Trinity Shamrocks out of Louisville, Kentucky had an incredible year and finished the season winning back-to-back state titles, more impressively finishing on a 24 game winning streak. The spring was filled with dominant performances from the Shamrocks, led by PG All-American Grayson Willoughby who turned in a dominant effort in the state title game, a game in which they won 12-0.
