Perfect Game College All-Americans

Kendall Rogers

San Diego third baseman Kris Bryant and Oklahoma right-handed pitcher Jonathan Gray were the cream of the crop at their respective positions, and are this year's Perfect Game Pitcher and Player of the year, respectively, highlighting an outstanding group of College All-Americans.


Bryant put together a phenomenal campaign for the Toreros, showcasing incredible raw power and earning the distinction of the No. 2 overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft to the Chicago Cubs. The hard-hitting third baseman is no stranger to Perfect Game, either, as a former PG High School All-American, too. Meanwhile, Gray took a significant step forward a junior this spring, showcasing a mid-to-high 90s fastball, along with a wipeout slider, while also being the No. 3 overall pick in the MLB draft to the Colorado Rockies.


Plenty of other outstanding college players rose to the occasion this season. For instance, New Mexico's DJ Peterson and North Carolina State's Carlos Rodon are first-team members for the second-straight season, while Kris Bryant, Gonzaga's Marco Gonzales, Stanford's Mark Appel, Oregon State's Michael Conforto and UCLA's David Berg are familiar faces.


Without further ado, the 2013 Perfect Game College All-Americans:

1B DJ Peterson
School: New Mexico            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 205
Hometown.: Gilbert, Ariz.          
High school: Gilbert
Peterson has been one of college baseball's best pure hitters for a couple of seasons now, and he again put together a dominant junior campaign that warranted him a spot as a first-round pick. Peterson batted .408 with 25 doubles, four triples, 18 homers and 72 RBIs.
2B Tony Kemp
School: Vanderbilt            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 5-6 Wt.: 160
Hometown.: Nashville, Tenn.

One of the ultimate spark plugs in college baseball, Kemp is one of the more exciting players to compete the past couple of years. An excellent defensive player, Kemp is a fearless hitter with a team-high .391 average with 13 doubles, 33 RBIs and 34 stolen bases this season.
SS Alex Bregman

School: San Diego             
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-5 Wt.: 215

Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 216             
Hometown.: Crystal Springs, Miss.
High school: Copiah Academy
Renfroe has always had the tools to be an elite player, but was missing a consistent offensive game. Well, he put all the pieces together this season. In addition to being a great defensive player with a strong arm, the versatile Renfroe hit .360 with 15 homers and 61 RBIs.
OF Daniel Palka
School: Georgia Tech            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 225             
Hometown.: Lyman, S.C.             
High school: Greer
Palka was more than serviceable as a corner outfielder for the Yellow Jackets, but he made his biggest impact at the plate, displaying his consistent and outstanding raw power. Palka had a huge year for the Jackets, hitting .342 with 13 doubles, three triples, 17 homers and 66 RBIs.
OF Michael Conforto
School: Oregon State             
Cl.: Sophomore Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 215

School: Cal State Fullerton            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-3, Wt.: 195             
Hometown.: Anaheim, Calif.            
High school: Fullerton
There was nothing Lorenzen couldn't do throughout the 2013 campaign. Lorenzen showcased himself to again be an elite defender with a strong arm in center field, he batted .335 with seven homers and 54 RBIs, and he tallied 19 saves with a 1.99 ERA in 22 2/3 innings of work.
SP Mark Appel
School: Stanford             
Cl.: Senior Ht.: 6-5 Wt.: 215 
Hometown.: Houston            
High school: Monte Vista (Calif.)
Appel received plenty of criticism when he decided to return to Stanford his senior campaign, but that plan paid dividends in more than one way. Appel tallied a 2.12 ERA in 106 1/3 innings of work, while also flashing elite stuff on the way to recording 130 strikeouts, just 23 walks.
SP Jonathan Gray
School: Oklahoma             
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 239 
Hometown.: Chandler, Okla.

Gray showed flashes of greatness as a sophomore last season, but evolved into such an elite arm this spring. Gray showed a nice three-pitch mix with a mid-to-upper 90s fastball. He also was very consistent with a 1.64 ERA in 126 1/3 innings, along with 147 strikeouts and 26 walks.
SP Aaron Nola
School: LSU            
Cl.: Sophomore Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 183 
Hometown.: Baton Rouge, La.
High school: Catholic
Nola is called the cool customer by the LSU coaching staff for a good reason. In addition to his good stuff, a fastball that can get up to 92-93, and sometimes 94, Nola has been incredibly consistent this season with a 1.68 ERA in 118 innings, along with 117 strikeouts and 17 walks.
SP Carlos Rodon
School: North Carolina State            
Cl.: Sophomore Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 234
Hometown.: Holly Springs, N.C. 
High school: Holly Springs
Rodon had his share of ups and downs during the 2013 campaign, but when it mattered most, he rose to the occasion in dominant fashion. Rodon has a 3.19 ERA in 118 1/3 innings of work, while also striking out 170 and walking 42 with a dominant slider and mid-90s fastball.
RP NICK BURDI
School: Louisville            
Cl.: Sophomore Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 218 
Hometown.: Downers Grove, Ill.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...
