FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

 

PERFECT GAME ANNOUNCES 2025 SELECT FESTS 

 

Sanford, Florida (Tuesday, February 4, 2025) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced the dates and locations for the 2025 Select Festivals, an annual series of marquee events showcasing the top young baseball talent from across the country. These highly anticipated events will once again serve as a platform for rising baseball stars to demonstrate their skills. 

 

Now in its historic 10th season, the 14U Select Festival will take place August 28-31 at its longtime home of JetBlue Park in Ft. Myers, Fla. The 14U Select Festival kicked off the annual slate of events for Perfect Game in 2016 at the Spring Training home of the Boston Red Sox, where it has remained since then. Since its inception, four 14U Select Fest alumni have made their MLB debuts: Dylan Crews, Victor Mederos, Jordan Lawlar and Carlos Rodriguez.  

 

Returning for the second straight year to the University of Virginia on Davenport Field at Disharoon Park, the seventh annual 13U Select Festival will be held August 21-24. In last year’s MLB Draft, four first-round selections were 13U Select Festival alumni: Konnor Griffin (ninth, Pittsburgh), Theo Gillen (18th, Tampa Bay), Cam Caminiti (24th, Atlanta) and Slade Caldwell (29th, Arizona). 

 

The 12U (August 8-10) and 11U (August 7-9) Select Festivals will overlap at the East Cobb Complex in Marietta, Ga. The 12U event is now in its sixth season while the 11U event is celebrating its fifth year.  

 

All Select Festival games will be streamed live at PerfectGame.TV and on the free PGTV app, allowing fans worldwide to follow the action of future generations of baseball stars. As always, the events will feature high-level competition, memorable experiences for the players and the chance to perform in front of scouts, coaches and an international audience. 

 

“The Select Fests are the ultimate celebration of youth baseball excellence, and we’re excited to once again bring these events to these great venues,” said Jheremy Brown, Director of 13U and 14U Select Festivals. “From the storied East Cobb Complex to the major league amenities of JetBlue Park, these events offer young athletes the opportunity to shine on a grand stage.” 

 

Perfect Game will release additional details about the 2025 Select Fests in the coming months. For updates, including player rosters, coaches, schedules and streaming information, visit PerfectGame.org and PG’s social media channels.

All-Star Game Continues To Thrive We’re only a couple of years into having the PG All-Star Game around, an underclass event attached to the All-American weekend, this year played in Petco two days before the Classic. The talent that is a part of it continues to grow to significant levels, and this year was a mix of young guys and some newer names that left lasting impressions. The two hardest throwing guys in the game were the only 2028s in attendance, Striker Pence and Dexter McCleon Jr who both were upper-90s as guys who just started their sophomore year, while the loudest moment of the day came when Kinon Bastian obliterated a pitch into the top deck of the famous Western Supply building in left field, something that we’ll remember for a long time. Extra Swings In The All-American Derby One of the best events every All-American weekend is getting to see these guys with...

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin.  Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts.  Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes.  Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76.  No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel.  Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm.  Playing up a few classes, you might...
