Updated PG COVID-19 Message

Jerry Ford

To help expedite responses, please send team tournament questions to tournaments@perfectgame.org, individual player showcase questions to showcases@perfectgame.org, and general inquiries to specific event director or staff@perfectgame.org

Updated Monday, June 24, 2020, 5:15 p.m. ET

This is the final update until something changes. Please check the schedule and go to the event page for any updates.

We are now playing in most locations and soon we hope we’ll be playing everywhere in the country. So far, things are going fairly smoothly.

We have received many questions regarding safety regulations at various places. The regulations and guidelines are different from one location to the next. We follow all recommended local guidelines. If you are interested in the guidelines for any location we have an event, we suggest you search the web for the latest information from that area. Also, check our guidelines and recommendations.

If we are allowed to play, we are going to play. If for some reason we are not allowed to play, we will not play.

The decision to attend or not attend a PG event is completely up to you. If you don’t feel comfortable about playing, don’t play. If you don’t want to travel, don’t travel. The choice is up to the player and his family. We don’t want to force people into playing baseball during this troublesome time. Just know that our staff will be there.

As States and Counties open up their restrictions involving baseball, we will be there playing baseball for the thousands that have a desire to play. For those that don’t feel safe playing or traveling and would feel better by staying close to home, we totally understand and respect their decision.

Updated Monday, May 25, 2020, 1:15 p.m. ET

Showcases and Tournaments will be starting up very soon. We expect June to be an extremely busy time. Showcase Players and Tournament Teams are notified, via email, regarding any changes we have made or will be making in the schedule. Please check the schedule for updated information. Operational procedures will be posted whenever there are any changes.

All players will need to have their parents sign the appropriate release form, which can be done online. Just being listed on a roster is not enough, you will need the release signed in order to play. As we all know, baseball does involve injuries at times. There is always a certain amount of inherent risk involved in most every sporting event. Though we will be taking every possible precaution when it comes to Covid-19, we cannot eliminate all risks.

You will see some noticeable changes from previous PG events. Please understand that those changes are made to keep everyone safe as possible from catching or transferring the virus. Also realize that certain venues/locations may have additional guidelines based on state or local regulations.

Please stay safe and healthy

Updated Wednesday, May 20, 2020, 6:35 p.m. ET

With no news coming out of Alabama this week, we have officially postponed the May 21-25 events in Hoover. PG will not have any events this Memorial Day weekend. We are hopeful to have good news early next week for events next weekend and beyond.

Updated Monday, May 18, 2020, 6:15 p.m. ET

Finally, a bit of good news.

We will be playing very soon in some states. Most events this week are postponed, but still waiting to hear back from Alabama government officials for this weekend (May 22-25). May be a few opportunities in other states next weekend (May 29-31) as well. It looks like all events everywhere in the country scheduled from June 1^st on could be held as scheduled, once again depending on governmental decisions. A few events may change venues/locations, be sure to check. We will be notifying all that are signed up, but please be proactive and check the schedule. Things could, and probably will, change quickly from now to the end of the month.

Now as we learn more, we can start rescheduling the events that were postponed earlier. Teams and individuals will be able to choose between many events for their makeup. Just make sure we know what you are transferring to. In some cases, we will be adding events to make up for earlier events that were postponed. Only events you might not be able to transfer to would be invitational only tournaments or showcases.

We have all the safety procedures in place and that will be released soon. Just keep checking this page as well as event pages on www.perfectgame.org for more information. We could have several updates this week as more information comes in.

Note: Many of our tournaments and showcases will be streamed this year. Plus, there are some new great technologies that will benefit players, scouts, and college recruiters. You will soon be reading much more on that subject right here on this website.

Please stay safe.

The PG indoor facility will reopen on Wednesday May 20th. For more information about that please contact BJ Fish at bjfish@perfectgame.org

Updated Monday, May 11, 2020, 1:15 p.m. ET

No change from last week’s update

We are continuing to postpone events for the next week. We continue the process of rescheduling and will announce the new PG schedule as soon as we possibly can.

Note: It does appear that we will be playing before much longer. All scheduled events, after this week, will take place as they appear with the PG WS, WWBA, BCS, Super25, and Youth Tournaments and Showcases. Please keep checking the PG website for further information regarding both makeups and regularly scheduled events.

We will soon be releasing our operational plan. We will be following all the necessary recommended guidelines. We not only plan to run the best events; we want to run the safest events for everyone involved.

Stay safe!

Updated Monday, May 4, 2020, 2:30 p.m. ET

With some states starting to reopen under Phase 1, we remain shut down for the next week. We continue discussions with all facilities and health experts to ensure we are ready to go as soon as it is safe to start playing again.

With some states starting to talk through the reopening possibilities, we are talking with all facilities and health experts to ensure we are ready to go as soon as it is safe to start playing again.

At this time, we are continuing to postpone events for the week. We are hoping to see some changes in the near future that will allow us to plan our reopening dates soon.

Stay safe!

Updated Monday, April 20, 2020, 11:30 a.m. ET

We are continuing to reschedule all postponed events until later in May and into the summer. We are closely monitoring the Opening Up America Again updates from all of the areas we have events scheduled. We are working closely with the experts to ensure when we are safe to host events and what guidelines should be followed.

Until then, we will stay on our two-week schedule of postponing all events. However, at this point in time it seems unlikely that anything will happen before early May.

Please follow your state regulations. It is very important that everyone is healthy once we start play.

Stay safe!

No new updates for this week. Thank you for your patience and support.

Updated Monday, March 30, 2020, 9:15 a.m. ET

All events scheduled for the next two weeks are postponed as we wait for some positive news. PG's headquarters in Cedar Rapids remains closed for the time being. Our next update will be next Monday, if not sooner. Please be patient and stay safe.

Updated Monday, March 23, 2020, 4:15 p.m. ET

There are new updates to share. All events are postponed until the end of the month as we wait for some positive news.

In the interest of health and safety, we have followed the Iowa governor’s orders and have closed PG's main building/headquarters located in Cedar Rapids for the time being. We will update again no later than next Monday, if not sooner. Please be patient, and above all else, stay safe.

Updated Thursday, March 19, 2020, 4:15 p.m. ET

Coronavirus Update

The health and safety of the players, the parents, and everyone associated with our events has to be our major concern and above all else. While we are just as eager as everyone else to get back to normal life – holding events, watching and following players – it is incumbent that we do the right thing.

As a result, we have decided to postpone events through March 31, 2020. We then will determine what comes next. We will make an announcement every Monday unless something changes either for the better or worse, in which case you’ll hear from us sooner. Please know that Perfect Game is following all state and governmental suggestions when it pertains to the crisis that we are all dealing with and we promise to keep everyone informed.

Most important, please stay safe and follow the recommended guidelines, then we can all get back to a normal life.

Thank you,

Jerry Ford

Youth Baseball Exec. DeDonatis III Joins PG

Jim Salisbury

Youth Baseball Executive Don DeDonatis III Joins PG By Jim Salisbury It’s free-agent season in baseball and Perfect Game has landed a big one. Don DeDonatis III joined PG as a consultant in November. The DeDonatis name is synonymous with youth baseball and softball. Along with his dad, Don Jr., DeDonatis helped build USSSA into a big hitter in the game. He brings decades of experience and knowledge to PG. “We all acknowledge that Donny has moved on from USSSA,” PG CEO Rob Ponger said. “This is a new chapter for him and we hope both sides take advantage of it to help youth sports in general. “The DeDonatis name has a legacy attached to it and we’re hoping that Donny is going to help us. PG is a growing brand and he’s on board to help.” DeDonatis was CEO at USSSA from 2018 until his exit from the company two years ago. “I’m...

Tucker Rice (27 MS) bumping up to 91; living hi-80s from real fast arm. Good SL @ 77-79 w/ depth & sold w/ intent. Loads of traits & strikes. #WWBA @PG_Uncommitted @PG_DeepSouth pic.twitter.com/DEjFqRcsIY — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 6, 2025 Tucker Rice, RHP, Class of 2027 Commitment: Alabama Alabama has continued to stay red hot in the recruiting trail ever since August 1st rolled around on the calendar and have continued to stack major pieces in their ’27 class. They dip into Mississippi to land one of the premier arms and one that’s stood out on the circuit for quite some time. It’s a fast arm and the athleticism certainly shines working down the slope. The velocity has continued to tick up over the last calendar year and reached into the low-90s towards the end of the summer. He’s confident in his changeup and the breaking ball is...

17u Tourney All-American Team

Vincent Cervino

There’s a lot of talent throughout this 2026 class, filled with the big-name stars, to talent that spreads across the nation. It’s been a lot of fun seeing these prospects grow and develop over the years, from the days of watching some of these guys at the 13/14u days at events on the circuit, to now where they are all graduating seniors in 2026. There’s been new faces who have popped along the way over the years, even in 2026, where some players who were relatively undiscovered, have come out and made a name for themselves with a statement performance. Between the familiar and the new, there’s a lot of names on this list that are going to be quite regularly talked about on the circuit, and for good reason. Whether it’s PG All-Americans or not, there’s a lot of names with superstar potential at the next level. We’ve got 14 PG All-Americans...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2029

Tyler Russo

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 | Class of 2028 These guys might just be entering high school, but they've certainly already made a name for themselves on the national circuit, especially with their abilities on the defensive side of things. C: Xavier Rodriguez (Logansville, GA) Rodriguez is a polished defender with real arm strength behind the dish, while showcasing the ability to impact the baseball with authority to all fields evident by thirty of his sixty-five hits going for extra-bases including seven bombs. He handles high-level pitching extremely well, commands his staff and his offensive prowess makes him a true two-way asset. 1B: Cooper Knight (Buda, TX) Knight is a smooth operator at first base with plenty of range, fluidity and agility in his footwork around the bag. Add-in a rocket for an arm, the ability to change slots and to...

Scout Stories: Part 5

AJ Denny

Best Game I Saw: The Dream NTL 18U vs. MBA Scout Team Murphy Jupiter always brings out the best, and we got fireworks from the jump. Turner Marshall gave The Dream an outstanding 4+ innings of work on the mound, holding a lethal MBA team at bay with Chance Dixon, Derrick Carter, and Ellis Appling providing an offensive spark out of the gate for the Georgia based boys. However, it was only a matter of time before the talent on the other side got going, as MBA erased a 3-run deficit in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead led by a Parker Loew HR. The Dream then took command again in the Top of the 6th, before MBA punched right back with a huge 5-run inning in the bottom half capped off by a clutch RBI single from Matthew Kerrigan, ending a wild sequence with tons of notable performances from two very competitive rosters. Best Tournament Performance I Saw: Surely someone has already brought this...

College Notebook: December 12

Craig Cozart

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2025 Highlights: The Cornhuskers were a difficult team to figure in ’25 as they finished with 33 wins, played just .500 (15-15) in the Big Ten but had some big wins at various times during the season and got hot at the right time. They knocked off then #16 Vanderbilt in the second game of the year, beat #5 Oregon State 2-out-of-3 at home in late March and then got hot at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha to win the Big Ten Tournament. They beat Michigan State in a 10-inning thriller before taking care of #4 Oregon, knocking off Penn State and then shutout #13 UCLA to punch their ticket to the Chapel Hill Regional. Head coach Will Bolt has now led his alma mater to three conference titles and three NCAA Regional appearances during his six years in Lincoln. No different than when he was a player, Bolt’s teams play with passion and toughness, this was never more...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2028

Troy Sutherland

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 | Class of 2027 You like athletes? You like defenders who can impact a game at any given point? Look not further than this class as it's loaded from coast-to-coast with elite defenders all over the diamond. C: Brogan Witcher, Bakersfield, CA Our scouting staff got several strong looks at Witcher whether that was at the Summer Kickoff, Sophomore National or the Underclass All American Games where he showcased his strong overall skillset and especially his advanced ability behind the plate. His 6-foot-3,180 pound build looks like one that will fill in quite nicely and be that big and physical catcher’s frame. His arm talent is undeniable where he gets it out quick and runs it up to 79 mph on throwdowns to 2nd (1.84 pop). Besides the standout catch/throw ability, we’ve seen him frame/receive strong arms and block it well during...

PG Softball "Toys 4 Tots" Fundraiser 18U division

Dave Durbala

BURLINGTON, IA - 2025 Perfect Game Softball Toys 4 Tots Fundraiser One Day, December 7, 2025. Kicking off the holiday season, six teams participated in this one day, 3 game guarantee tournament in the 18u Division. We would like to thank those that donated a toy, and know that they will be distributed to area underprivileged children through a local charity organization. Following are some of the top performers from the weekend. Earning Tournament MV-Pitcher was Jolee Strohmeyer (2026 Dubuque, IA), a RHP/UTIL with tournament champion Lady Expos Blue. Strohmeyer shows hitters a consistent and repeatable motion and delivery with good use of the legs in the drive phase, and a quick and aggressive arm whip. Working with a six pitch mix of fastball, change-up, rise, drop, curve and screw, Strohmeyer topped out at 60 mph, and showed good movement as she worked her rise and curve just out...

Scout Notes: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Best Game I Saw: Hudson Reed (‘26, GA) torches this ball to deep CF for a solo 💣. Generates easy power that plays to the big part of the yard. Middle of the order traits #UBCWest @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/UXqDVFmUBx — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) June 18, 2025 I was fortunate enough to see a lot of highly competitive games with loads of talent on the field, the game that sticks out to me the most was Alpha Prime 2026 vs. ZT National Prospects at the UBC West. The game was an efficiently played affair with arms dominating on both sides. Graham Schlicht was masterful for Alpha, striking out 12 hitters over 5 dominant innings. PG All-American Julian Cazares came out of the pen blowing smoke, touching 97 mph with the fastball. On the other side, Jake Carbaugh surrendered just one hit and...

Finest in the Field: Class of 2027

AJ Denny

Finest in the Field: Class of 2026 Elite defenders from coast to coast certainly seems to be a strength and to think you could make another top-tier team without thinking, speaks to the real depth this group possesses. The infield is a no-doubt strength of the group, but what catcher Dariel Carrion can do behind the plate is like something we haven't seen in a while in the prep ranks with an absolutely bazooka of an arm. C: Dariel Carrion (San Juan, PR) It isn’t often you get a catching prospect as athletic and natural as Dariel Carrion, a big reason why he holds the rank of #1 player in PR and #18 nationally. Metrics wise, the 5-foot-10, 210 pound San Juan native is all you can ask for and more, posting a sub 1.80 pop time with an 84 mph arm behind the dish. He has both contact and clear power threat on the offensive end, ending 2025 with a .337 BA and 4 HRs while also...
