17u Tourney All-American Team

In a year that amateur baseball flourished from start to finish, there were so many impressive individual resumes that were built in 2021. We take an in depth look at the top performers at PG events with our annual PG Tournament All-Americans by age group, starting with the 17U players. Of the players on the first and second teams, 19 of them played in San Diego at the Perfect Game All-American Classic: Jared Jones, Termarr Johnson, Jayson Jones, Tommy Specht, Justin Crawford, Andruw Jones, Brandon Barriera, Dylan Lesko, Jackson Ferris, Hayden Murphy Cam Collier, Jackson Holliday, Sal Stewart, Emaarion Boyd, Elijah Green, Riley Stanford, Eli Serrano, and RJ Austin. Collier and Serrano earned Co-MVP honors at the WWBA National Championships, while fellow Tournament All-American Marek Houston was the MVP of the WWBA World Championships (Jupiter).

RJ Austin, Ryan Wideman, and Mack Cromer led all honorees with 11 All-Tournament Team selections.



Jaden Anderson put up insane numbers throughout 2021, really building on an impressive 2020 campaign. He has simply raked for the last 24 months, which include a 12-for-25 clip with three doubles and three homers between both the major WWBA events. The explosive athlete's dominance on the circuit propelled him to earn Tournament Player of the Year honors. There were many deserving arms that had stellar campaigns in 2021, but left-hander Jackson Ferris did not have one start in which he toed the rubber without huge stakes on the line. He absolutely dominated top competition, showing big stuff to go with his poise and confidence. Ferris put up and absurd 0.41 WHIP and nearly struck out two hitters per inning to take home Tournament Pitcher of the Year. 

Player of the Year: Jaden Anderson, OF, Mount Pisgah Christian (Ga.)

Pitcher of the Year: Jackson Ferris, LHP, IMG Academy (Fla.)

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...

Area Code Gams: Prospect Recap

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
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. ...

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic.
