Canes Claim 15u WWBA Crown

Photo: Canes 15u National (Perfect Game)
And this is where it all ends. MBA 2026 Scout Team faced off against Canes National 15u in the 15u WWBA Championship, with the winner crowned champion. This game was a fierce back and forth contest. Let's talk about it.

The first inning for MBA did not appear favorable after their incredible comeback triumph in the semifinal game hours earlier. A strikeout was recorded by Canes starter Cameron Hanes helped him navigate through the top of the lineup for a scoreless first inning.



Canes National got on Ethan Trivison early as the bases loaded in a flash following a hit-by-pitch to Alex Harrington, a walk by Grady Emerson, and another changeup that hit Andrew Costello. The bases were loaded when Jaxon Matthews hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score the game's opening run. In addition, Emerson had moved to third. After Brady Murrietta crushed a fastball to center for an RBI single, the Canes added a second run.

However, MBA immediately worked to cut the deficit in the second. A wild pitch would enable Will Anderson to advance after he had reached on an error. Lucas Cannady hit a ball to deep left that just stayed in the park with one out, cutting the deficit in half with an RBI double.

In the bottom of the inning, Canes National aimed to immediately score this run back when Hunter Arrington singled the other way with two strikes. Then, to put himself in scoring position, he would display lightning speed and steal second. After Carson Boleman lined a shot to center to score Arrington, the Canes extended their lead to 3-1.

Picking things up in the top of the third, MBA looked to respond. After Christopher Reali was hit by a pitch to start the inning, Chandler Dantzler singled, and a walk loaded the bases and forced a pitching change, ending Hanes' day. Final stats for Hanes: 2 innings, 2 hits, 2 runs (both unearned), and 2 strikeouts.

Following the introduction of Ty Tillery as a relief pitcher, Brady Harris hit a scorching liner to right that was caught but turned into a sac fly to bring them within one. Tillery forced Aiden Arnett into a massive double play with runners on the corners and one out to stop the momentum.

After the Canes bats stopped hitting in the bottom of the frame, MBA tried to gain momentum. When Will Anderson reached base once more in the top of the fourth inning due to an error, MBA tried to take advantage but Ty Tillery made Gage Pertrutz hit into another crucial double play for the Canes.

The Canes kept responding and their bats did it once again in the bottom of the fourth. Opening up the frame with a loud double, Colton Haire would later score on Hunter Harrington's second hit of the day, a double down the left field line to make it 4-2.

Ethan Trivison pitched 3.2 innings, giving up five hits and four runs, all of which were earned.

Moving forward to the top of the sixth, MBA had to apply some pressure. Wilson Anderson, one of the best athletes in his class, had two runners on after an Aiden Arnett single but Tillery halted the momentum once again with a crucial double play. The Canes were three outs away from a national championship when he forced another fly out.

To complete a 4-2 victory for the Canes, Tillery came back out for the top of the seventh inning and retired the MBA bats in order.

Ty Tillery had more than enough insurance runs. He would come on in relief, pitch five innings, allowed just one hit and one run, struck out one, and allowed just one hit. His defense supported him, making numerous plays behind him.

The WWBA National Championship requires an all-out team effort to win. Dan Gitzen said, "Before this competition, we challenged our team, particularly our pitchers, and put them to the test. Looking back, we only allowed 5 runs in 11 games. The entire team contributed to that. A group of young kids are taking action and committing to contribute. They really went out there and challenged themselves, and we have a tremendous offense and defense around them."

Setting the standard by not allowing a run during pool play to earn the top overall seed. The Canes have spent the entire summer competing at the highest levels possible in the PG National Championships.

Nash McCarthy (2030, Camas, WA) was outstanding in his start on day two of the UBC West for NW Baum Bat, working six-innings allowing four-hits, no walks and struck out seven.  Standing at 6-foot, 170-pounds with athleticism and room to add.  Effortless mover down the bump with a low effort, up-tempo operation that produced a fastball that was up to 84.  He showed feel for the secondary offerings mixing in a firm breaking ball at 71-74 with 11-5 shape with depth.  Controlled the zone and the tempo throughout the outing, moving the ball around to all four-quadrants.  Projectable arm speed with advanced feel for the spin and strike zone.  Dylan D'Oyen (2030, Cerritos, CA) got the start for 5 Star 2030 in their opening game of the tournament and impressed over six innings of work.  Athletic mover down the mound with balance and repeats the delivery. ...

PG Super Regionals Dripping Springs, Texas June 6-7, 2026     DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX- The weather was nice, the Longhorns JUST won a national championship, and Perfect Game brought it’s first softball event to Dripping Springs. It was a weekend packed with college coaches, quality softball, and a great softball atmosphere. Over the course of the six-game guarantee event, our scout saw some amazing athletes. Below she highlights some of the athletes who caught her eye.   Destiny Sidiropoulos (2028, Houston, TX) of the Impact Gold HTX 16U was an incredible spark plug at the top of their lineup all weekend. She is a true triple threat who has great speed on the basepaths. She can soft and power slap, drop a sneaky bunt, and hit away with pop. Her barrel control is next level, and she is fun to watch pick apart defenses. On defense, she is versatile and athletic. She gets...

West Coast Summer Breakout Hopefuls

Joey Cohen
Article Image
With summer ball ramping up, the priority follow lists from our scouting staff start to take shape and every year a handful of intriguing names outside the national spotlight begin to separate. Digging deeper into the West region, there’s a group of prospects currently buried outside the Top 200 who carry real breakout and helium potential over the next few months. All 10 players featured here are coming off strong high school seasons and bring traits that evaluators tend to bet on whether it’s projectable/athletic bodies, strong secondary stuff, or flashes of impact tools. They may not be household names just yet, but the ingredients are there for significant jumps by the end of the summer circuit. Don’t be surprised if several of these names are firmly in the mix and climbing up early boards in a hurry before the fall rolls around. Two innings of work here from Jonah...

UBC South Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Quintin Blackwell (2030, Hercules, California) has, literally, been unstoppable this weekend for Premier Banditos Deleon. In six plate appearances, he has a walk and five hits. Doing it all with a double and two triples, while stealing three bags. Plenty of coil on the front side. Hands work through zone and the barrel stays on plane for a long time. High upside bat that makes an already deep Banditos lineup even deeper. Kenson Buth (2027, Trophy Club, Texas) has been an absolute weapon on both ends for Stix 2027 Scout. At the plate, he’s 6-9 with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Linear approach with a ton of bat speed. Plenty of impact at the bottom of the zone and showing some ability to do serious damage in the middle of the field. On the mound, he went four quality innings, punching out three. The fastball lived 86-90 with carry. Good feel for the slider in the mid 70s....

Sawyer Pettit (‘27 MS) Has shown extremely well to start the summer of 2026. Its a physical left-handed hitting corner profile with big muscle mass. Will pass the eye test off the bus at the next level. The swing is clean with controlled violence and big in-air power that has shown up frequently. Good mover for the size and plays the game hard. Candidate for a big frosh season at LSU-Eunice in 2028. Keviyun McQueen (‘27 MS) Pair of barrels tied together here. Innate feel to hit with fast hands. Line drive approach that gets to pull side power in the air.

13/14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff

13u & 14u PG Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Tucker Richardson (2030, Mobile, Ala.) has already made a name for himself and he continued to play at the expected high level during his time in Hoover, finishing the tournament with a robust .700 average, collecting at least one base hit in each of his team’s games. Now the No. 10 ranked prospect in the country, Richardson more than once showed the ability to read and react to spin out of the pitcher’s hand, barreling up baseballs for a couple of his hits on the tournament. As much as the bat stands out, the defensive actions in the dirt are even better as he’s arguably the best defender in the class, making the most difficult plays look routing, including one where he charged hard on a slow roller with momentum taking him towards the third base dugout but thanks to the big arm, he was able to make the play look second...

After capturing last year’s championship, Team Elite Scout 14U returned to Hoover looking to prove their success was no fluke. Four days later, they accomplished exactly that. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and the confidence that has defined the team throughout the tournament, Team Elite Scout 14U defeated SBA Bolts National 14U to claim the 2026 PG 14U National Elite Championship and secure back-to-back titles. “It’s awesome,” Team Elite Coach Blankenship said. “This is our first event of the year, so it’s good to get it to start with them, and they won it last year, so I know they are excited to do that back-to-back, so it’s pretty awesome.” The championship game showcased many of the same qualities that carried Team Elite through the tournament.
