13u Select Festival Preview

It's a little surreal to think it's already 13u Select Festival week as we've been looking forward to it since the last out of last year's iteration. Nonetheless, report day today and this year's crop deserves a breakdown for just how deep the rosters are and their overall talents on the field. 

With rosters once again being broken down into East and West, both squads are 20 players deep, making for 40 in total from both the 2029 and 2030 classes, spanning across 15 states. Leading the way for the East is Florida with 5, just ahead of Georgia (4) who only had one player in last year's Fest while Texas appears loaded for the future with 9 players taking the trip out to Charlottesville while 4 players will make the journey across the country from California. 



In total, 13 players in this year's game didn't appear in the 12u, though the trio Ramon Roa, Zaylon Johnson and Jhunior Jose Cordero suited up for the 11u game in 2023. Of the 40 players, 15 will be making their third appearance in the premier August game, meaning they've been able to elevate their skills over the years while setting their sights on a rare four-peat next year. 

With this being year two for the 13u game at the University of Virginia, every player will once again raise funds to help the UVA Health Children’s and are already closing in on $20,000. 

If you'd like to help the cause, feel free to head over to https://getinvolved.uvahealth.org/team/664083 and make a donation! 

With the 2025 MLB Draft also in the review mirror, it's worth taking a second to mention the first ever Festival alum went 1st overall in Eli Willits, a 2021 13u Festivaler, who was joined by another 13u alum, Sean Gamble, in the first. 

In an attempt to keep things short and not run on, let's do the quickest possible breakdown of all 40 players, knowing we could write paragraphs about every player, and likely have, at some point this past national circuit.

East

Luca Briggs (Chesterfield, VA): One of three unofficial hosts as a Virginia native, Briggs is equally as talented behind the plate as in the batter's box. A physical presence, Briggs sticks it well behind the plate, has a strong arm with real catch and throw, and is capable of losing a baseball on any given swing. 

Landen Davis (Beaufort, SC): Davis is one of the 15 three-time Festivalers and he heads to Charlottesville on the heels of a strong 2025 campaign. Just consider this: Davis had one more home run (9) than he had strikeouts at the plate (8) while playing in all of the major events. Regardless the age or level, that's impressive and Davis is as good as they come.

Jhunior Jose Cordero (Boca Raton, FL): Pick almost anything on the diamond and odds are Cordero can do it at a high level. He possesses an absolute cannon of an arm (upper-80s on mound, 78 mph behind the plate) and quite simply put up video game numbers on the year. He's proven to be a complete player and one of the more feared names on the 13u circuit and for good reason, given his high-end two way ability.

Ramon Roa (Grovenland, FL): Roa imply wouldn't stop hitting this summer. Pick any of the major events he attended this year and you'll likely find an "All Tournament Team" tag on his profile as he was a proven force. At 6-1/178, Roa's swing is full of intent, bat speed and real impact, making him one of the bigger power threats in the 2030 class.

Christopher Cabrera (Miami, FL): Another three-timer, Cabrera has continued to refine his game while remaining one of the top overall players in the entire class. Both his actions and arm across the diamond have taken the next step while his right-handed swing has continued to produce at an alarming level, hitting .523-12-64 with 16 doubles from the middle of the order on the top 13u club. 

Mason Miller (Stafford, VA): One of our 2029s in attendance, Miller immediately stands out with his physicality and continues to grab your attention with an advanced skillset. While the defense and arm will keep him on the left side of the dirt long term, it's the left-handed stroke from Miller that does a bulk of the damage, showing innate barrel skills with plenty of present pop. 

Tucker Richardson (Mobile, AL): While Richardson hasn't made a Festival prior to 2025, the talent has proven he more than belongs in the group with what he has shown to this point. An athletic mover, Richardson's right-handed swing matches plane consistently while the defense up-the-middle is as good as it gets. And just in case a smooth handed middle infield with barrel skills isn't enough, Richardson also pumps the zone with mid-80s heaters. 

Mark Thompson (St. Johns, FL): I could keep this one real simple for Thompson: "he hit 28 home runs this year." Just let that sink in. Over the course of 157 at-bats, Thompson slashed .592/.687/1.344 on the year with 42 bags, continuing to cement himself as one of the best pure hitters in the class, something he certainly solidified with his performance at the 13u PGI. 

Chris Reed (Conyers, GA): When you live on the barrel, consistently square up the baseball and rarely strike out, those sorts of things certainly stand out. Reed is one of those bats as he walked more than he punched and certainly knows how to handle the barrel. His swing is direct and explosive, showing very easy bat speed through the zone with the present ability to already backspin baseballs with real authority. 

Raylen Hunter (Pacolet, SC): Simply put, Hunter is a dynamic athlete who can impact a game in a variety of ways like almost nobody in this class can. A newer member to the 2030 class, Hunter is a lights out defender in center field with outstanding range thanks to his 6.7 speed, but also shows unreal bat-to-ball skills from the left side of the plate as he truly employs an all field approach, and more importantly, executes that approach on a regular basis. 

Mason Devine (Raleigh, NC): Devine came out and put an exclamation point on his summer with his performance, earning a spot in the 13u Select Festival. He's physical and strong at 6-0/170 and the juice shows up in his right-handed swing, both throughout the summer and into the 13u National where he impacted balls to the pull side throughout his BP round before hammering a double deep to left field in live action.

Stephen Pio (Yardley, PA) Here's a number: .640. No, that's not his on-base percentage, though most players would love for that to be their mark (Pio's is .679). The .640 mark is his batting average (!) and it's simply an unheard of number from a player who played in all the major events. He struck out just 3 times on the year, proving the contact skills are as good as they get though there's just as much juice and ability to impact the baseball. 

Bryan Johnson Jr. (Atlanta, GA): Johnson Jr. played up for the majority of the summer, mostly at the 15u and 16u level, before coming to the 13u National Showcase where he tested as well as anybody in the event. Despite his long limbed 6-foot-3 frame, the Georgian ran nearly a 7-flat, threw mid-80s from around the diamond and posted a 94 mph exit velocity while showing some of the best juice at the event with rockets off of the barrel to the pull side. 

Easton Mauler (Fort Myers, FL): I first saw Mauler play this past fall and the left-handed swing immediately stood out with his present blend of bat speed and barrel control. Fast forward to this summer and it was more of the same as the Fort Myers native continued to square up quality pitching, lining balls around the yard and it's only a matter of time before those gap shots start clearing the fence. 

James Watson (Canton, GA): There was no shortage of looks at Watson this summer as he racked up 140 at-bats over the course of 70 games, a span in which he yielded a .479 average with 13 home runs, 14 doubles and a handful of triples. He goes to the plate looking to do damage and can certainly do just that, capping off the summer with a loud barreled extra-base knock in the 13u National Showcase. 

Noah Osterman (Newnan, GA): You truly are getting two players in one with Osterman as he's one of the top pitchers in the class, but can also change the outcome of a game with a single swing. Living in the low-80s from the left side, the young Georgian shows an advanced level of command and pitchability on the mound and it just as impactful at the plate thanks to fast hands, hitting to the tune of .534-5-46 this year with 8 triples. 

Austin Coleman (Spring Hill, TN): Coleman isn't small. In fact, he's quite the opposite at 6-3/195 and he's an intimidating presence on the rubber. Add in the fact that he's already up to 85 mph and only got stronger as the summer progressed and that's a bad combination for opposing hitters. He powers the baseball downhill with authority and can spin it with conviction, getting plenty of whiffs with his 12-6 breaker. 

Zaylon Johnson (Lake Charles, LA): If you're looking for a lightning bolt of a right arm, look no further than Louisiana's own Zaylon Johnson. A former 11u Select Festivaler, Johnson possesses one of the bigger fastballs in the class as he's already been upwards of 88 mph with a dagger of a breaking ball. Don't sleep on the swing though as he has some big-time thunder in his hands and looks to do damage. 

Calvin Madenspacher (Clayton, NC): We didn't see much of Madenspacher on the mound this summer, but we did see a lock down defender in the outfield who can go get it, alongside a left-handed stick who lived on the barrel wit hte ability to truly impact the ball to all parts of the field. And just for good measure, he jumped on the mound and bumped 85 mph from the left side at the 13u National to cap off a loud summer. 

Amir Hopkins (Chesapeake, VA): Another one of our unofficial hosts, Hopkins can do a little bit of everything on the diamond and he's plenty athletic, meaning his best days are still ahead. On the mound he was up to 85 mph at the 13u National, powering the baseball downhill, while showing quality bat speed at the plate with real intent to do damage on every swing. 


West

Jancarlos Nunez (Royse City, TX): Nunez shined on both sides of the ball consistently throughout the summer, showing a of the more polished skillsets behind the plate from this class with sound receiving skills and bouncy actions side-to-side. And for as good as he is behind the plate, he might be even better at the plate with consistent barreled contact to the gaps, showing looseness and leverage with some sneaky strength already.

Boston Targac (Flatonia, TX): There's something to be said for a catcher who handles mid- to- upper-80s arms without hesitation and that's exactly what Targac does throughout the national tournament circuit. He's long drawn praise for his receiving, blocking and catch-and-throw ability, so much so that it almost overlooks what he's able to do with the stick, showing present strength to the gaps with a rather simple and direct stroke.

Bryant Ju (Cerritos, CA): Ju joined Christopher Cabrera in the middle of the ZT order and produced at an alarming clip throughout the summer, finishing the circuit just shy of a .500 average with 9 bombs and 18 doubles. The offensive component to his game is rather dynamic, letting the physicality go to work, showing a consistent feel for the barrel and strength that plays to all fields. 

Leyland Henry (Houston, TX): If you've been on social media at any point in the last couple of years, odds are you've seen one of Henry's titanic blasts and if not, pay attention as you're likely to see another soon. An intimidating presence in the box, Henry once again put the long ball on display this year with a few homers that soon won't leave our memory like the ones he hit at the National All State or 13u PGI.

Amani Tuiasosopo (Issaquah, WA): Tuiasosopo took full advantage of every opportunity this summer and made his case for one of the more electric overall players in the country. There's real two-way potential as he already runs the heater into the upper-80s with big time whip and a dagger of a slider while showing all the ingredients you want to see in a young hitter, from the extension to leverage, bat speed and present impact on a super projectable 5-10/135 frame. 

Maykel Jimenez (Bronx, NY): New York in your programs, but West in your heart, Jimenez is another electric middle infielder who can do the harder things with ease, highlighted by huge arm strength (88 mph) across the diamond. Listed 5-9/169, Jimenez swings with big intent, getting the barrel head out front with impact to the middle and pull side parts of the field, showing no problems turning on velocity or making the adjustment to off speed as he recognizes it. 

Brandon Sweeney (Atherton, CA): Though Sweeney continues to grow physically, stretching out and adding strength, his actions up the middle have remained the same with balance and fluidity in his lower half, ranging to make plays not many this age can. High-end defense at a premium position is usually enough for a team, but Sweeney is equally impressive with the stick in his hands, showing a nice blend of bat speed, barrel feel and burgeoning power. 

Paxton Scoggin (Silo, TX): Sitting under the tent at the 13u National BP, we watched Scoggin do his things with his right-handed swing before he turned around and started blasting balls from the left side, showing a true switch-hit profile...the only thing is, nobody on staff ever saw him hit lefty before! The swing is nearly mirrored with huge bat speed and equal levels of impact, pairing along nicely with his defense in the dirt which is highlight by his mobility and strong arm across. 

Cooper Mason (Loxley, AL): To say Mason used the 13u National Showcase as his spring board into the Festival might be an understatement, but that's not to detract from what he did all year either. Once he was in Fort Myers, Mason couldn't do anything wrong, picking up a couple of loud barrels in game (including a backside double) and made defensive player after defensive play at shortstop, picking it cleanly on the backhand, before jumping on the mound and bumping 83 mph with a full repertoire. 

Ashten Aguailar (Ventura, CA): Aguailar is the Swiss Army knife of the group, proving throughout the summer that he can do a little bit of everything and do it all at a high level. He's a switch-hitter with a top of the order profile given his bat-to-ball skills, receives it cleanly behind the dish with bounce in his actions, and can then go to the middle of the diamond and make the difficult play look routine with balanced footwork and natural fluidity. 

Tyler Early (Houston, TX): He's 13, 6-3/225, up to 89 mph from the left side on the bump and can make the biggest fields look small swinging wood. Not much more needs to be said after that, but Tyler Early has continued to establish himself as one of the premier players in the country, hitting .500-12-81 in 2025, and keeping opposing teams fearful of his game changing ability as highlighted by the 81 walks he has drawn as well. 

Josiah Lavea-Aldridge (Las Vegas, NV): If you followed the 13u circuit, you might not be too familiar with Lavea-Aldridge's name and that's simply because he played up for a bulk of the summer. And that certainly didn't slow him from performing as he took home MVP honors at the 14u WWBA after hitting .536 with 15 knocks and no strikeouts. He's 6-2/195, shows very real barrel skills and has plenty of real strength as evidenced by his 90 mph exit velocity. 

Jesse Soberal Jr (Tomball, TX): They say hitters hit and though the .505 average is Soberal's lowest in the last 4 years (rather insane to type that out), he's continued to hit at a high rate and has done so while playing virtually every tournament on the PG schedule with 218 at-bats on the year. He's well timed in the box and a packs a punch in the hands, working as well the other way as some of his peers do to the pull side.

Jason Spray, Jr (Murfreesboro, TN): Spray possesses a lot of intangibles you like to see in a young player, some natural like the long limbed 6-foot-3 frame, some teachable like the 7.1 speed at that age/size already, and most importantly, he's continued to refine and grow into his frame, reshaping what he can do on the field. Despite his length, Spray is well connected in the box and put together arguably the best round of BP at the 13u National with consistent line drive backspun out to the Green Monster in left field. 

Kingston George (Allen, TX): There's all sorts of strength and impact in everything George does on the diamond, whether it's with the stick or on the mound. Out at the 13u PGI George connected for arguably the longest ball hit on the event with a blast over the center field wall (hit .507-11-95 on the year) while overpowering hitters with a fastball upwards of 88 mph and a variety of swing-and-miss secondaries. 

Jesse Maddox (San Diego, CA): Maddox is another two-way player who was able to shine on both sides of the ball this year as the physically built California made his presence felt. A left-handed stick, Maddox employs his strength well and can work to all fields with real authority, coming up clutch more than once. On the mound he'll work comfortably in the low-80s but shows a real changeup with which he can collect whiffs in a hurry. 

Christian Choe (Bedford, TX): Choe was outstanding on the mound throughout the 2025 circuit, punching out more than a batter-per-inning (65 in 51.2 innings) while maintaining a sub-2 ERA, something nearly impossible to do at the 13u level. He's run the fastball up to 86 mph with heavy life and can chew up hitter's hands while mixing in a sharp slider, a pitch he's more than comfortable doubling up on. 

Bijan Kamerzell (Overland Park, KS): Another player who wasn't on the national circuit much, Kamerzell got on our radar with his performance at the KC Indoor Showcase, earning his invite to the 13u National where he solidified his Festival selection. At a long limbed 6-1, it's easy to see the 83 mph sinkers he's currently throwing quickly jump up in a big way while still spinning a sharp slider to help miss barrels.

Clayton Ratliff (Casa Grande, AZ): Ratliff checks a bunch of boxes in what you're looking for out of a young arm, starting with his long limbed 6-2 frame and overall athleticism. Once toeing the rubber, he puts his length to excellent use with big extension coming down the mound, making his 83 mph heater play up even more, consistently landing his big curveball for strikes with real spin and lots of late depth. 

Bowen Landry (Houston, TX): Landry is one of the more complete players already in the class, consistently showing all five tools at any given point. He's already a 6.8 running throwing upper-80s from all over the diamond, including on the mound, while hitting nearly .500 on the year with lots of present bat speed, leverage, and juice to the pull side.

14u Select Festival Turns Ten
Jheremy Brown
Article Image
You want to talk about something surreal? Back in 2016, we put together a roster of 40 players, divided to 20 apiece between East and West, with no qualification other than "play in one Perfect Game event" and all players must be born after May 1 of 2001. On top of that, there were significantly less national events at the 14u level, consisting almost exclusively of the 14u WWBA and the 14u World Series, with some other events sprinkled in and players who were eligible, playing up at 15u and 16u events. On top of all that, we turned around rosters in a super short time frame, a far cry from the year long process it's become now, never mind the fact that you can find a 14u event somewhere in the country on any given weekend.  Do the quick math and you realize the 2025 14u Select Festival marks year 10 of the event and since that first pitch in 2016, things have continued to evolve,...

The college players in the 2028 draft class have yet to step on campus, but they're positioned to make an immediate impact. Several high end talents either turned down significant money last year or honored strong college commitments, resulting in their arrival on campus this fall. The class is currently led by a trio of high-upside arms in Jack Bauer, Angel Cervantes, and Cameron Appenzeller. They are followed by a deep group of bats that rounds out a strong, high end Top-10.

2025 Year in Review: JUCO

Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry. Donovan Becerra (‘25 New Mexico, ‘26 Texas Tech) One of the more high octane arms anywhere in the country last year. Can reach back for upper 90’s and has shown serious swing and...

2025 Year in Review: Draft We’ve reached the end of the 2025 calendar year, and while we’ve already jumped in on the 2026 cycle with some of the fall events and post-draft content we’ve had here at Perfect Game, there’s still one more piece on the docket, and that’s the 2025 Year-In-Review piece here from the PG Draft staff.  The 2025 MLB Draft took place in July, when many highly talented players heard their names called and continued their journey through the game to the next level. There’s already been some of those names making noise in the minors and guys who are moving up prospect lists and becoming names to know for MLB fans digging deep into the future of their organizations. While we are going to “close the book” on 2025 with this article, these players still have many years ahead of them, and many blank pages to continue...

Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026 Commitment: Bucknell Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach.

MVPitcher: Duncan McLeod The uncommitted junior toed the slab in three of the four games for Team Mick, tossing 3 2/3 innings.  Zero walks, zero hits and 6 punchouts for the lefty who was used both as a starter in the series clinching game 4 and he closed out game 3 on Friday in quick fashion.  McLeod was very efficient as well, needing just 42 pitches over all his outings.  In the game 4 start, over two innings he punched out 3, with one strikeout with all of his offerings.  The mid 80’s fastball regularly played up, set up with efficient use of the secondaries, with the breaking ball 73/74 and fading change-up 72-74.   Owen Bone (2026) at it again...

13u Tourney All-American Team

Article Image
What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort.  As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and...

Player of the Year: Asher Williams It was an incredible year for Williams that was rewarded with a trip to the 14U Select Fest, before some more impressive play in the fall. He came to the plate almost 250 times in PG tournaments throughout 2025 and reached base in well over half of them, hitting to a .500 AVG while slugging a 14U circuit best 12 bombs and driving in 113 runs. The numbers on the surface are ridiculous, but when you look at the high-level events he put them up in, it makes it even more impressive. Pitcher of the Year: Tristan Blalock Blalock earns this honor after a dominant 2025 where he struck out 85 batters in just 48.2 innings of work with a minuscule 1.58 ERA. This included several strong performances at many national level tournaments and showcases where he was able to bully some of the best hitters in the country. It’s hard not to fall in love with...

PG Draft: Gut Feel Guys

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While we are nearing the turn of the calendar to the 2026 year, that means we are just inching closer to the beginning of the season for many high school players and college baseball is on the horizon. We are prepping for a reshuffle of the 2026 MLB Draft Board as well here amongst the PG Draft staff. But before we get to that, we sat down and have each picked a couple of players who are in the mix to get selected in a couple of different buckets.  We have prospects who could go into the Top 30 picks or so, prospects who could be selected in the Top 5 rounds, and prospects who could go inside of the Top 10 rounds. With the draft quite far down the road and a lot of re-shuffling to be done as these players play themselves into certain spots on the draft board, our scouts picked some players who fit into these “buckets” who are gut-feel guys. These are the guys that our PG...

Hitter of the Year: Landon Bonner The 2028 class saw many players from across the country take the next step in their development as they entered the High School ranks. There were huge performances from highly ranked players on the PG circuit as well as some under-the-radar guys who burst onto the scene. Landon Bonner came into Sophomore National as a Top 500 ranked player and after an impressive showing, left with all eyes on him as a rankings riser in the class. The left-handed hitting shortstop from The Colony, Texas, had a summer to remember with All-Tournament Team selections in three of his next four events culminating with a historic performance at the 2025 PG 15U WWBA National Championship. The Hebron High School prep went 20-for-24 in nine games for 5 Star Mafia 15U Black with four homeruns and 12 runs batted in. He also scored 17 runs and finished with a mind-boggling 2.500...

Hitter of the Year: Koa Romero is the Hitter of the Year for the 16u group, as he would come to every premier event of the summer and earn All-Tournament honors (Beast of the East, 16/17u WWBA, Jupiter) in every single one. Over 82 plate appearances, Romero would pump ten homeruns with forty two RBI and sixteen walks, good for a .378 average and 1.339 OPS. The performance on volume at the best events of the year pushed Romero over the edge here, as he’d hit a pair of homeruns in Jupiter (one of them at 112 EV) as an underclassmen and collect double digit hits in BOTH WWBA events with a combined six jacks over the two tournaments. It was a summer that combined performance and winning on the biggest stages for Romero. It’s a quiet left-handed swing that packs a punch. He would reap the benefits of his performances, earning a commitment to LSU and jumping to the #74 prospect in...
