Perfect Game Staff
Jesse Soberal Jr (‘30, TX) barrels up this FB to straight away CF for a triple. EZ operation that displays a level swing path w/ juice. @PGSelectFest alum. #BeastOfTheEast @Texas_PG pic.twitter.com/URTM60VIy3 — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) October 12, 2025 Jesse Soberal Jr. (2030, Tomball, Texas) took home MVP honors which saw his team, East Cobb Astros, take home the 14u Championship. Soberal Jr. finished the event with six hits, seven runs scored, one double, one triple, five RBIs & four stolen bases. The 3x PG Select Festival Alum showed a relaxed approach at the plate, tallying a .462 average and by the end of the event, the baseball looked like a beach ball. The swing is pretty effortless & generates good direction with the barrel on a level path. The lower half works well and the ability to consistently barrel & impact baseballs the other way really stood...

CBA Marucci Makes it Back-to-Back
Hannah Jo Groves
CBA Marucci took its second consecutive WWBA World Championship title - winning 6-5 over the East Cobb/SD Padres ST. This win is in addition to another 17U WWBA title CBA Marucci took in July 2025. CBA Marucci’s owner and head coach, Jon Paino reflected on his organization’s repeated achievements: “It sounds cliche, but I don’t think the boys and the team together look at the individual championships as the ultimate result or what they were essentially aiming for, shooting for or set as a goal. I think it was more of a game-to-game approach and we try to focus on the journey rather than the result...And so, changing the focus a little bit, I think it led to more success, but an unbelievable run by an unbelievable group of kids together...I’m not sure that we’ll ever be able to duplicate anything like that, obviously, but just an awesome...

Perfect Game Staff
WEST PALM BEACH – SBA Bolts National outlasted Ghost National with a 9-6 victory to claim its second straight PG WWBA Freshman World Championship. “We’re really family-oriented, the boys play really hard, they work hard, they deserve this, they earned it, and it was an absolute blast,” head coach Collin Thacker said.

MLB Star Matt Kemp Impressed by Jupiter
Jim Salisbury
Former MLB All-Star Matt Kemp impressed with all things Jupiter JUPITER, Florida – Three-time Major League All-Star Matt Kemp couldn’t help but smile as he sat behind the backstop and watched his nephew play in Perfect Game’s 2025 WWBA World Championship tournament. “He used to come to all of my games when I played and now I’m going to all his games,” Kemp said. “I love it.” Kemp retired from a 15-year big-league career after the 2020 season. His nephew Josiah Kemp’s rise as one of the top prep players in the country has kept him close to the game. “Josiah has been playing PG events for two years,” Kemp said. “I’ve been to all his tournaments this summer. But this is the big one, the one everybody wants to go to. He’s been very excited about it.” Josiah, a 6-1, 185-pound outfielder, is a...

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Days 4-5
Perfect Game Staff
WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 Easton O'Quinn (2029, Branford, Fla.) showed off the power and barrel control for ZT National Prospects 15u. The right-handed hitter starts from a spread stance with his weight pre-shifted on the back leg and a high handset with a high back elbow, utilizes a low leg lift stride. Uncoils hard with intent to impact and drive the ball with a direct hand path and tons of bat speed. Stays short to it and extends through it well to impact with easy jump off the barrel. O’Quinn showed off the power and barrel control all day on Monday collecting four hits, including three doubles, and a no-doubt three-run home run over the fence in left field to drive in seven RBI. Big-time power upside in an athletic 6-foot, 195-pound frame. Exciting player with legit juice and middle-of-the-order offensive upside. Brayden Greene (2029, Fayetteville,...

WWBA World Champ. Scout Notes: Days 4-5
Kyler Peterson
WWBA World Championship Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Handling the catching duties for the Banditos 2026 Scout was Jacob Madrid (’26 CA) and he’s a good one. Large framed for the position at 6-4/215, he should have no problem staying behind the dish with his flexibility and dexterity. He presents a big target for his pitchers but can get deep enough in his stance to effectively receive the bottom of the zone. His hands work well together with his clean midline transfer to a compact arm path creating excellent carry on his feeds. At the dish, he uses simple mechanics for a big athlete and leverages the baseball to all parts of the field. Madrid is an Oregon commit, should make an impact immediately and finished the game 1 for 3 with an RBI. Coming in from the pen to settle things down for the Banditos 2026 Scout, Austin Greene (’27 TX) settled in...

One of the best power hitters in the class w/ plenty to project on. 6’2”/185. #WWBAWorlds @California_PG https://t.co/E3ochFjx7C pic.twitter.com/4vWQsZv8Us — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) October 11, 2025 Colton Windham (2029 CIF/RHP, Lakeside, Cal.) added three more barrels to his total on Saturday morning, finishing 3-for-3 with a triple, home run and four runs driven in. The 6-foot-2 lefty hitter has really proven to be one of the best power hitters in the class with equally impressive bat-to-ball skills. He creates whip to the barrel with effortless jump and leverage at the point of impact. Windham makes his best contact out front and to the pull-side where he can be a serious threat when...

Perfect Game Staff
Luis Tolentino Gonzalez (‘28, PR) sits back and drives a homer deep to left. Strong frame w/ real all fields impact. Gets to the barrel via a simple inward LL. #WWBAWorlds @pg_int1 pic.twitter.com/A0eShVxYuD — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) October 9, 2025 Luis Tolentino Gonzalez (’28, PR) had a strong game to kick off Freshman Worlds, collecting a pair of hits while driving in two. The Puerto Rico native works from a bigger right-handed frame with strength present, appearing in center field defensively. He starts with a slightly spread base, keeping the hands high behind the ear. Gonzalez then works into a medium and direct inward leg load before firing through an impactful barrel via a pair of quick hands. He kept the bat path compact, showcasing legitimate pull side impact. Paris Head (‘29, IL) tees off, launching a hard hit homer to the pull side. Athletic...

He later turned around and broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the 7th inning with another homerun, this one coming on a curveball that he lined down the leftfield line. The...
