Final Four set for 13u Super25

SANFORD, Fla. – The field for the 13u Super25 National Championships could stand up as the most competitive of any age group this summer with 16 states represented and one from the Dominican Republic making up the 36 teams. Upon pool play action being completed on Monday, eight teams marched on to the quarterfinals and all four games featured wild action that left four worthy semifinalists standing above the rest.

The first semifinalist made it look the easiest of anyone as FTB Resmondo only needed 4 ½ innings to defeat Kangaroo Court Roos National 8-0 to remain unbeaten heading into Tuesday’s final day of play.



FTB was immediately staked to a 3-0 lead in the first inning as Jayce Blalock (2022, Grantville, Ga.) came to the plate with two on and two out and blasted his second home run of the tournament to give starter Michael Castro (2023, West Palm Beach, Fla.) a lead to work with. Castro was stingy against a Roos offense that had entered the game scoring 45 runs in their five pool play matchups as he cruised through five innings while allowing four hits and striking out three.

Blalock added an RBI triple in the third inning to give him four RBI for the game and Manuel Beltre (2022, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) finished 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. FTB will be a tough offense to hold off on Tuesday in the semifinals.

FTB will take on the Bell Ringers at 9:00 a.m., a team that had to go into extra innings to earn their spot in the Final Four after going seven innings with Cincinnati Fury Elite knotted up at one.

Fury starter Dakota Secrest (2023, Lucasville, Ohio), and opponent Colin Simmons (2022, Glen Mills, Pa.), each allowed a run in the third inning, but were both outstanding. Secrest allowed only two hits through seven innings while Simmons was one better allowing just one.

Extra innings created a situation that gave each team a shot at breaking through with the bases loaded and one out and it was the Bell Ringers who had the first crack at jumping out in front.

With Secrest still on the mound for the Fury, Mike Anderson (2022, Haverton, Pa.) stepped to the plate, and on a check swing, he dropped in a single into right-center field to knock home two runs to put the Ringers ahead 3-1. It did not stay that way long as Justin Stupka (2023, New Cumberland, Pa.) lined an RBI single to center to make it a 4-1 lead. That hit knocked Secrest out of the game as the righthander finished with eight strikeouts for the game.

Simmons also started the bottom of the eighth inning on the mound with his pitch count low enough, and despite walking in a run with two outs, he was able to seal the victory with a pop out in foul territory to third. He finished with four strikeouts and threw 96 pitches to earn a well-deserved victory to send his team to the semifinals.

On the opposite side of the bracket, the Motor City Hit Dogs received a fine effort from Chase Goddard (2023, Ball Ground, Ga.) and Nolan Schubart (2023, Durand, Mich.) on the mound as the duo combined to strike out 13 hitters and allow just three hits to help defeat NOCA Select 4-2 to move on to the semifinals.

The Hit Dogs entered the quarterfinals as one of four teams without a loss and jumped ahead of the Select in the second inning as Schubart lined a triple to right and came in to score on a Sebastian Jaimes (2023, Lincoln Park, Mich.) RBI double to right.

In the third, the Hit Dogs went ahead 3-0 on a Blake Grimmer (2023, Spring Lake, Mich.) two-run single to right field.

Goddard started on the hill for the Hit Dogs and was removed after getting one out in the fourth before Schubart entered with the bases loaded. With two outs, Ryan Porche (2022, River Ridge, La.) launched a long fly to center that bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double to draw the Select to within a run at 3-2 before Schubart escaped further damage to hold the Hit Dog lead.

The Hit Dogs tacked on a run in the bottom of the fourth as Ryan Mooney (2023, Rochester Hills, Mich.) drew a leadoff walk, stole second and third and came home on Goddard’s sacrifice fly to center as they gave Schubart a two-run advantage that he would not relinquish.

After Goddard struck out seven in his 3 2/3 innings of work, Schubart struck out six and allowed only one hit in his 3 1/3 innings to close out the Select and advance the Hit Dogs to Tuesday’s semifinals.

The Hit Dogs will play Mid Atlantic Show-Rucci, who had to contend with the previously unbeaten Scorpions North-Nugent in a battle of the top two teams from Pool C. The Show got the better of the teams’ second meeting with a convincing 9-2 victory.

Several standouts made impacts for the Show in the victory, but it started with a strong pitching performance from Ryan Mullock (2022, Moorestown, N.J.) who worked into the sixth inning and also contributed a pair of doubles and an RBI at the plate.

Mullock got the scoring started for the Show in the second inning with his first double of the game, a liner into the right-center field gap. He would score on a groundout to short as they forged ahead 2-0.

In the third, the Show tacked on two more runs as Xavier Massey (2022, Audubon, N.J.) lined a one-out triple into left-center and scored on a single to right from Nathan Taylor (2024, Mickleton, N.J.). After Taylor swiped second with two outs, Winston Yates (2023, Moorestown, N.J.) drove him home on a single to left to make it a 4-0 Show lead.

The Scorpions drew a run closer in the fourth as Zachary Zorbo (2023, Guyton, Ga.) doubled to left to make it a 4-1 game. However, in the fifth Yates drove in a pair with a double to right, and in the sixth, Isaiah Pinkney (2022, Clayton, N.J.) put the game out of reach with a two-run homer to left as the Show would see the game out to advance to Tuesday’s semifinals.

The morning semifinal matchups will take place at 9:00 a.m., with the winners meeting in the championship game, taking place at 11:15 a.m. at the Boombah Sports Complex.

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes
Tyler Kotila
Article Image
Creighton Tuzzio (2024, Clarinda, Iowa) took the ball in the semi-final game and was able to get on the bump and carve for his team. Tuzzio is a taller 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame with plenty to like in the operation. The right-handed pitcher has a slower and more controlled operation as he works through the delivery. He lifts the leg up around the belt and then works through a three-quarters release with good whip through it. The fastball worked up to 86 mph on the fastball and held in the low- to mid-80s. He creates some angle on it with the taller & projectable frame. It runs arm-side and can be a problem for right-handed hitters. He also showed a low-70s curveball with a bigger 11/5 tilt to it and good depth to miss some bats. The Iowa Western commit threw 5.0 innings, allowing just 1 run, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts to his credit.   There’s no surprise here, but...

Michael Flores (2026, NC) looking great through 4 innings pitched with 11 k’s. Great command and completely missing barrels. #2023WWBACoastalSophmoreFallInvatational pic.twitter.com/Oqd3WD0E05 — PG Coastal Scouting (@PG_Coastal) September 24, 2023 Michael Flores (2026, Mooresville, NC) put on an electric performance to watch for the SBA Futures 2026 in their matchup versus the Carolina Reds. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP did his job for his team today to keep them in the game. Flores throws with a high leg lift and creates some good motions towards the plate with his whippy action. Flores has a great feel for the zone and pounded strikes at a 66% rate. Flores generated swing and miss after swing and miss and it was clear he was in control out there on the mound. He sat in the 70-mph range to 79-mph range with his fastball with the ability to pinpoint it wherever he pleased....

James Sherry (’26, Aiken, S.C.)- the 6-foot-1, 155-pound right-handed pitcher tossed a complete game for Xtreme Xposure Baseball-Bennett in an 8-1 win over 2 Way Athletics 16U. A primary outfielder, Sherry finished with 15 strikeouts and just one walk while controlling the zone at a 65% strike rate. Appearing in only his second PG tournament, Sherry turned in another great pitching performance after being selected to the All-Tournament Team at the 2023 16U PG Southeast Labor Day Classic.

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Day 3-5

A high speed look at this 2B from Keon Johnson... #WWBAWorlds @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Ejl8GirIgk pic.twitter.com/ate7ro35cp — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 24, 2023 Keon Johnson (2026, Macon, Ga.) started off the morning loud, going down to get a pitch down and smoking a double that split the opposite field gap at a 92 mph exit velocity. The shortstop has one of the best hit tools in the class and has tremendous feel for the barrel. The swing is quiet and simple, staying loose through the zone. The ball jumps and the parts really work. At short, Johnson looked silky with good actions, range, and plenty of arm strength across. The game comes easy for the Georgia native, and still just 15, the all-around game is very well-refined for the age.  Jaxson Wood (2026, Hoover, Ala.) finished batting .500 over the tournament, including three extra-base hits.

Deep South Fall Invitational Scout Notes

Alex Dorso
Article Image
Patrick Kovacs (2026 Knoxville TN) was dominant in his outing in game two of pool play for Exposure National. The southpaw tossed three scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out eight. He showed plus command of the fastball dotting it to both sides of the plate while working off the corners at times. Patrick sat 75-78 topping at 79 multiple times throughout. He mixed in a tight breaking ball with two plane movement that he had no problem mixing in any count keeping the opposing hitters off balanced in the box. Coming from a mid 3/4s slot there was some deception within the operation making it tough to pick the fastball up out of the hand. The frame has plenty of athleticism within with plenty of more room for additional strength as he continues to mature. Kovacs should be a fun follow as he continues to progress through high school. Ryan Riojas (‘26 TN) drives this...

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Extended look at Gunnar Garrison... 7 IP, 1 H, OER, 13 K, 1 BB (70% K) #WWBAWorlds @PG_FourCorners https://t.co/V89oASpD8r pic.twitter.com/tsP1mWCoNz — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 21, 2023 Colorado right-hander Gunnar Garrison (2026, Eaton, Colo.) was magnificent in his start for Slammers Anderson 2026’s. The big and physical 6-foot-4, 210-pound arm threw a complete game, seven inning, one-hit shutout, striking out 13 and walking one. The fastball had downhill life to it, sitting in the 85-88 range for the entirety of the game. Garrison held the velocity and reached back for his fastest bullet of the game, at 89, in the seventh inning. Finishing the outing with 70% strikes, he filled up the zone and went right at hitters. He also induced swing-and-miss on a curveball, featuring late...

Northeast Qualifier Scout Notes

Jack Harley (2024, Mendham, NJ) put together a dominant performance at the plate in the WWBA NEQ, leading his team to a coveted Jupiter bid while also earning MVP-honors. The 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter showcased his advanced bat-to-ball skills on several occasions. He batted .643 with two doubles, a home run and six stolen bases. Harley utilizes a repeatable, synced-up stroke with clean separation into launch. He has a great feel for the barrel and creates good strength at impact to all parts of the diamond. The future Hokie recorded a hit in all six of his games and proved to be a reliable bat at the top-of-the-order for Clubhouse 2024 EvoShield. Harley’s build offers a good balance of strength and athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect with intriguing upside moving forward.  .#VandyBoys commit Aiden O’Connell (‘24, NH) is back on the bump in the #NEQ...

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Nathan Caldwell (2026, Columbia, S.C.) looked the part in the batter’s box as the Team Elite three-hole hitter had one of the hardest hit balls of the day. There’s really impressive bat speed and the ability to create violence and rotational acceleration through contact. He missiled a single during the game and there looks like there’s going to be pretty significant impact potential long term. He’s a strong kid with good indicators and offensive tools to like. Drew Borkowski (2026, Huntley, Ill.) showed plenty to like in the arm as he got the start in game one on the day for GRB. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds he’s got a lanky frame with long limbs and plenty of room for physical projection. It’s a quick arm with solid arm speed throughout and he opened up sitting 85-87 mph with the fastball. The fastball showed good sinking life and he used it to get a lot...
