National Indoor League Session II | Get Invite



The Perfect Game National Indoor League allows players of all ages to compete against each other all over the country, year round. The PGNIL uses today’s most up to date technology (HitTrax) to measure max exit velocity, average exit velocity, launch angles, batting average and many more statistics for every player in the league.

HitTrax™ is the first and only baseball simulator. A powerful combination of analytics and entertainment that has never before been available to indoor facilities. Patent pending technology delivers innovation to the baseball industry by measuring real-time data and displaying live results for immediate feedback.

Regular Season:
Saturday, Jan. 9 - Friday, Feb. 19 (12 games)
Regional Playoffs: Friday, Feb. 20 - Wednesday, Feb. 24
National Playoffs: Thursday, Feb. 25 - Monday, Feb. 29

Age Groups:
18u, 16u Wood Bat
14u, 12u Metal Bat

What Players Receive:
• Six-week competitive regular season
• Single elimination Regional and National playoffs for qualifying teams
• Regional/National player and team awards
• National player exposure on the Perfect Game website
• Perfect Game player profile

Statistics/Scouting:
Customary stats like batting average, home runs and other extra-base hits and runs-batted-in are recorded and posted immediately on the league’s webpage. In addition, the HitTrax technology also provides scouts with hitting data like peak and average exit velocities, peak and average distance and average launch angle/elevation on every batted ball.

Perfect Game President Jerry Ford considers the average exit velocity to be the biggest draw for scouts. 

"I actually believe the average exit velocity is the most important stat from a scouting perspective in the (indoor hitting) league," Ford said. "The argument could be made that the player with the highest average exit velocity is, or could be, the best hitter."

Once the scouting community gets on a prospects' trail through his participation in the PGNIL, the opportunities seem limitless.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that some kids from this league are going to get some looks and get some opportunities that wouldn’t have before,” league Director Kevin Schuver said. “And I think it’s a great segue to (PG) showcases and tournaments."

Southeast Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Auburn commit Brennan Neal (2027, Columbus, Ga.) had a good showing on Sunday on the mound, putting the clean, athletic delivery on display in an inning of work. Neal worked in the 90-93 range with the fastball with plenty of life, and showed some run to it when working to the arm side. Neal also worked in a tight slider in the upper 70s, but also showed confidence in a fading changeup in the mid 80s. Neal also has room to add strength to his lanky frame, which could be big for him to continue to add velocity. South Florida commit Taylor Casson (2026, Atlanta, Ga.) had an impressive showing on the hill with the stuff and results, going 5 innings of no-hit baseball with 10 strikeouts. The fastball worked in the 89-92 range with downhill angle and tail, and was in the zone often. He worked a 3-pitch mix, showing some impressive swing and miss stuff...

WWBA Scout Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Raylen Hunter (‘30 TX) stays living on the barrel; this one burning the CFer for a double. Just an electric ballplayer. #WWBASouth https://t.co/1LThRBqN80 pic.twitter.com/z5RF5dy47o — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) May 30, 2026 Raylen Hunter (2030, Cypress, Texas) took home MVP honors for the tournament and helped lead his team to a big championship win. Was a big standout on a loaded Banditos team that steamrolled their way to the championship. He ended the week going 10-16 with a pair of doubles while scoring ten runs atop the lineup. Hunter is a true spark plug who makes consistently hard contact line to line. The swing is short and works to all fields with plenty of twitch and bat speed. Bat to ball plays at an extremely high level as he rarely gets cheated never taking an at-bat off. Once on base, Hunter causes havoc on the base-paths, a...

With another few weeks in the book of the high school season, we’ve already had state champions crowned with playoffs happening in some northern states.

In a highly anticipated matchup between two of the nation’s top 17u teams, the East Cobb Astros defeated eXposure National 9-8 in a thrilling extra-inning battle to claim the PG Southeast Elite Championship. The Astros completed the weekend undefeated, opening their summer season with a hard-fought, statement victory. “I mean, it's fun, it's been a grind today,” said Astros Head Coach, Josh Burress. “Been out here a long day, but our guys are competitors, they come out compete, they want to compete and win, so it's just fun to watch them come out here and not quitting playing to the end... so the guys did very well today, and they competed all the way through.” eXposure began the opening frame by taking the early lead on an error but quickly gave their lead away as the Astros came out of the gates hot, plating six runs in just the first inning. Mason Peek,...

Leanderson Argueta (2027, Panamá) absolutely outmatched every arm he faced this weekend ending up with seven hits, five of which were doubles and also hit a three run home run in game three. In the fifth inning against Freshwater Storm National Argueta got his pitch and deposited it over the wall for a go ahead three run home run. Showed real comfort in the box and was able to repeat the stroke well. Fires his hips with intent and the direct bat path plays to all parts of the park.  Jayden Pagan (2028, St. Cloud, Fla.) would not be denied this weekend slashing .500/.684/1.434. The championship game was no different for Pagan getting a first pitch heater and scorched it into left for an rbi triple. He would later add a double in the seventh inning that carried over the center fielders head. The bat to ball skills paired with his up the middle approach translate. The 2028...
