PG Freshman All-Americans


LSU shortstop Alex Bregman and Cal State Fullerton right-handed pitcher Justin Garza are a step above the rest, but college baseball was filled with plenty of talented freshmen during the 2013 college baseball season.


Bregman and Garza headline an outstanding list of 2013 Perfect Game College Freshman All-Americans, the two teams listed below.


Bregman entered his freshman campaign with high hopes, and certainly didn’t disappoint. He showed good range at shortstop, stable skills and a strong arm from a defensive standpoint, and had a good, consistent, bat with good power. Though Bregman didn’t shine at the College World Series, he undoubtedly was a huge reason why the Tigers experienced so much success this past spring.


Much like Bregman, Garza, albeit in a different way, shined in his debut campaign for the Titans. Joined in the weekend rotation by outstanding right-handed pitcher Thomas Eshelman, Garza earned a reputation as a hard-nosed pitcher with elite stuff.


Coaches called Garza a “knife-fighter type” of pitcher, and his attitude and stuff backed that up throughout the spring. Garza, in addition to the great numbers he compiled, had a fastball in the 90-94 range, along with a good crop of secondary pitches, including a good 80-82 changeup.


Without further ado, our Freshman All-America teams:

 

Perfect Game Freshman Player of the Year: SS Alex Bregman, LSU

Perfect Game Freshman Pitcher of the Year: RHP Justin Garza, Cal State Fullerton

Road to the 2026 17U BCS Title

Emily Hicks
Article Image
This weekend, 11 teams will take the field for the 2026 17U BCS Challenge, a three-day event that brings together programs from across the country for a full slate of pool play and bracket action. With games beginning Friday and a champion crowned Sunday, the format leaves little room for slow starts, making every inning important from the opening pitch. The field features a mix of established programs and rising teams. With so many evenly matched rosters, there’s not much separation heading into the weekend, which puts importance on pitching depth, defensive consistency, and timely hitting. Pool play will quickly determine seeding, and even one loss can shift a team’s path heading into bracket play. One of the teams expected to be in the mix is Hawaii Elite 2G 17U National, a group that is 6-3 overall and ranked as “Honorable Mention” on the Perfect Games...

Blaine Peterson

Braydon McMillen (2029, Downers Grove, IL) an athletic MIF with a top of the order skill set at the plate. Reached base in all 5 games played at UBC this week. Including a 3 hit game in bracket play. Shows a balanced and compact swing at the plate with quick wrists and the ability to get the barrel to the baseball regularly. A quick first step defensively with clean glove actions and a quick release from the shortstop position. Made several athletic plays defensively this past week.
